Okay, here's chappie two of auditions for .I. Idol. O yea, I need to do a disclaimer too.
Disclaimer: The only thing I own is this awesome Greenday CD called American Idiot that I'm listening to right now. d--b : (
-Oh wait in Oban they don't have noses so it's more like this-: (
Also wanted to say that I don't own the idea of Lupinians, all credit goes to Lupe191919, but Jimmy is not anything like Remus Lycoan (also created by Lupe191919), so I own Jimmy. Remus might come up though, but I promise I'll ask before I use someone else's ideas before using them. Sorry I didn't mention you in this chapter before, Lupe191919.
NOW you can enjoy!
---Episode 2
"Welcome back to Interplanetary Idol! So far we have at the Hangar: Eva, Jordan, Kyrra, Spaz, and Aikka. Will today's challengers even compare to the spectacular shows of skill of these fine contestants?"
Same routine. Crowd goes wild. Yawn.
"Introducing our judges!"
Kyrra, Kannaletto, and Don Wei make their appearances. Whatever.
"First up, we have another duet. Please welcome Stan and Koji!"
"We will be singing Wake Me Up When September Ends by Greenday, except it's lyrics about now and the end of the Great Race."
"There's too much Green in the average Idol Day."
More general laughter.
(A/N- Greenday, get it?)
"The Great Race has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake us up when the next race ends
Like our fathers come to pass
Seven months have gone so fast
Wake us up when the next race ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in our pain again
Becoming who we are
As our memory rests
But never forgets what we fixed
Wake us up when the next race ends
The Great Race has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake us up when the next race ends
Bring out the tools again
Like we did when the Race began
Wake us up when the next race ends
Here comes the rain again
Falling from the stars
Drenched in our pain again
Becoming who we are
As our memory rests
But never forgets what we fixed
Wake us up when the next race ends
The Great Race has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake us up when the next race ends
Like our fathers come to pass
Twenty moons have gone so fast
Wake us up when the next race ends
Wake us up when the next race ends
Wake us up when the next race ends"
"Very touching. I see that someone misses the Great Race of Oban."
Stan and Koji blushed.
"But still, your tones were perfect and you duet well. Yes." Kyrra said.
"I agree with Kyrra. Your duet-ing is unmatched by anyone in this competition. Good luck at the hangar!" Koji's eyes shone with pride. Stan just kept blushing.
"Well, I guess my decision doesn't count. Humph."
"Stan and Koji will advance to the Hangar!"
The Audience chucks paper tools weighted down with rocks in the air, which explode, sending different colored sparks in the shape of tools raining down above everyone's heads. One group of people even chucked the letters "GO STAN AND KOJI!" and likeness' of their heads into the inky blackness of the night sky to shower it with their brilliant glittering. What a show of fireworks.
"Next up, we have General Kross."
Crickets chirp.
"Okay, Kross, sing." Kyrra said tiredly.
"Mhuahahahaha!
I feel pretty!
Oh so pretty!
I feel pretty!
And witty!
And wise!
And I pitty-"
"NO!" everyone except the Avatar yelled in unison.
"But-"
"No. Goodbye."
"Phooey." Kross stomped out.
"Next, we have Furter and his crew!"
(A/N- Italics is his crew, regular is Furter himself)
Furter, backed by his cronies, walked in and started singing:
"Who lives in a spaceship to plunder the galaxy?
Lord Frank Furter!
Insubordinate a fellow and cruel is he!
Lord Frank Furter!
If nautical nonsense be something you wish,
Lord Frank Furter!
Then get outta here so that everyone quits!
Lord Frank Furter!
Lord Frank Furter!
Lord Frank Furter
Lord Frank Furter!"
"What the hell was that?! No way!" Kyrra spat.
"I'm with Kyrra on this one. That made no sense whatsoever. Uh uh." Kannaletto voiced, shaking his head.
"What do you think?" Don Wei sneered.
Furter tries to take out his sword, but realizes its not there. "Damn!" he and his crew stomped out.
"Introducing: Ondai!"
Ondai "walks" out onto the stage. "I will be singing Greenday, too. There's only one song in the universe that I know, and it's this one.
"Starry nights,
City lights
Coming down over me
Skyscrapers
And stargazers in my head
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
This dirty town was burning down in my dreams
Lost and found citybound in my dreams
& Screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
& Screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
Forget-me-nots
And second thoughts
Live in isolation
Heads or tails,
Fairytales in my mind
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
The rage and love,
The story of my life
The Jesus of suburbia is a lie
& Screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
& Screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting
& Screaming
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown
Are we we are, are we we are the waiting unknown"
"Hmm, interesting. Your voice is too constricted, and besides, robots don't sing. Sorry, no." Kyrra decided.
"Well, she has a point there. Still, you sang the song well. I liked how you could make it sound like the audience was singing in those "are we we are" parts. I say yes." Kannaletto encouraged.
"No. Kyrra is right, robots don't belong on Idol."
"Next up is…" the Avatar looked at his card. "A Lupinian named Jimmy."
"That's St. Jimmy to you." Jimmy snarled. "Let me introduce myself."
First, an accompaniment voice sang:
St. Jimmy's coming down across the alleyway
Upon the blvd. Like a zip gun on parade
Light of a silhouette
He's insubordinate
Coming at you on the count of 1,2-
1234!
Then the music played and Jimmy started singing:
My name is Jimmy and ya better not wear it out!
Suicide commando that your momma talked about!
King of the 40 thieves, I'm here to represent
The needle in the vein of the establishment
I'm the
PATRON SAINT
Of the denial
With an
ANGEL FACE
And a taste for suicidal
Cigarettes and ramen and a little bag of dope,
I'm the son of a (bleep) and Edgar Allen Poe
Raised in the city under a halo of lights,
The product of war and fear that we've been victimized
I'm the
PATRON SAINT
Of the denial
With an
ANGEL FACE
And a taste for suicidal
Are ya talkin' to me?
I'll give ya somethin' to cry about!
---
My name is St. Jimmy
I'm a son of a gun
I'm the one that's from the way outside
I'm a teenage assassin
Executing some fun
In the cult of the life of crime
I'd really hate to say it but I told you so,
So shut your trap before I take you down, ol' boy
Welcome to the club, and give me some blood
I'm the resident leader of the lost and found.
It's comedy
And tragedy
It's Saint Jimmy
And that's my name!
And don't wear it out!" he added snappily, going into his wolf form.
"WAHOOOOO! VIOLENCE! I LIVE FOR THAT! ALL HAIL SAINT JIMMY!" Kyrra roared, going into her dragon form in reply. "I can totally relate to him!"
"Well, you did sing exactly they sand In the original song. I'm going with yes." Kannaletto fans cheered him on.
"Well done, my boy! You deserve to go to the hangar!" Don Wei clapped.
"And that's all the time we've got! Stay tuned for the next installment!"

Okay, so I'm using lots of Greenday songs for auditions and a couple for the real competition too because they're very expressive. Don't worry, you'll see some variety soon. O yeah, can anyone plz recommend songs too? I only know "old" songs that came out during the period of time from 6 months to five years ago. Cheers!
