LJ Idol Presents:

There is a tradition we have in LJ Idol.

Every season, we end with the same topic.

You have made a long journey together in a full season. In THIS season, you have made the longest journey of all time.

You have made friends, maybe a few enemies.

It's not just about sharing a space. It's about being able to express what that means -

while balancing out making your case and showcasing the talent of those who have gotten here with you.

That topic is Why I Should Win LJ Idol/Why My Opponents Should Win

I'm really looking forward to seeing how you each decide to close this season out.

The deadline to link your entries back to this thread is Monday, March 23rd at 8pm EST

Have fun!

The first 3 parts of this week's topics have been met by all four contestants: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/250217.html

Which means, as promised, we move on to Step 4:

Every season there is one topic that comes up. Some people love it. Some hate it. Usually for the same reasons.*g*

But it's tradition. It's how every season ends - by not only promoting yourself and making your case, but showing your insight into the people standing beside you, and making a case for them as well.

It's always been the final topic. Sometimes it comes at the Final 2. Sometimes it comes at the Final 3.

This season though things are different.

We started out this season divided between Veterans and Newbies - and have come to a point where the last four standing are newbies. Ah, but what a diverse group of newbies they are!!

There are almost as many "firsts" in this group of 4 are there are in your average couple weeks of Green Rooms!*g*

Each one is absolutely amazing and well deserving of their spot in the 4.

Unfortunately only one of them can win.

Which is what that topic that is traditionally at the end is about:

Why I Should Be the Next LJ Idol and Why (insert the names of the other three here) should be the next LJ Idol"

You can do it in one or multiple parts. However *you* feel most comfortable doing it.

That is the topic for Part 4.

As I said, things are a little different this season. Because, yes,


THIS IS THE FINAL ROUND

Congratulations to the FOUR FINALISTS!!!!!

One more entry. One more vote.

Then we have a winner.

Will it be YOU?????

Your entries need to be linked back to: http://community.livejournal.com/therealljidol/250217.html
(because I'm sure there will be comments in *this* thread!*g*) by Thursday April 2nd at 8 pm EDT.

Good luck - and have fun!!!

dissolvedgurl was eliminated today.


If you saw the numbers coming in from the first day, you figured that would be how it would go down. But if you followed the entire week of voting... oh my what a different story.

She came back.

Then tru2myart surged back ahead, and dissolvedgurl almost made another come back in the last few hours!!!

and oh, wikkidpixie went from running away with it to having both of her competitors within inches of toppling her lead!!

If this week didn't get your pulses racing and keep you on the edge of your seat I'd check, you might be dead!!!

Going into this round, the season high for votes was in the mid-30s. ALL THREE of the competitors beat that mark this time!!!

***

Today is December 1st. We started this season on *August 1st*.

That's how long it's taken to get here, and that's how long it's taken for the remaining two to forge themselves from people who thought they wouldn't last to the second round into the FINAL TWO.


They've come along way, but which of them has what it takes to win???

Let's find out!!!*g*

FINAL TOPIC: You knew this was coming, it's the same two part question from last season!

Why I should be your next LJ IDOL AND Why my opponent should be your next LJ IDOL

The deadline is Monday December 4th at 1pm EST to link your entries back here.

I'm looking forward to seeing what you have to say for yourselves, and about each other!

Good luck.
