[Simon Cowell]

((For this round, contestants can choose whatever song they want. Currently, only Sammie, Emma, Josh, Sean, Rayna, the judges, and the host can be here. At the end, tell us which song you chose in ooc.))

Simon sat in his seat, waiting for the contestants to perform. A pen was in his hand to take notes if he had to.

[Sammie Davey]

Sammie was first and she was nervous. She had been up all night practicing lyrics, but she was ready now. Sammie walked towards the middle of the stage and stood in front of the judges. Taking a deep breath, she began.

"Sometimes I get emotional
Sometimes I do some stupid things
Sometimes I say what I should just keep inside
Sometimes I'm sad about everything
Sometimes I'm mad and break some things
Sorry times 10 but you just got in the way

Don't give up now running away
I won't hurt you sometimes I'm just a pain
And that's the way it is
That's just the way I am

Sometimes I feel like crying
Laying down and dying
That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy, but sometimes I'm just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel emotional
[fade]

You say I'm just impossible
Totally unpredictable
I'm just a girl get use to it
No big deal
You can't change me why would you try?
I'm no angel but I can make you smile
And that's the way it is
That's just the way I am

Sometimes I feel like crying
Laying down and dying
That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy but, sometimes I'm just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel emotional

Don't give up
I won't hurt you
Oh, sometimes I'm just a pain
And that's the way it is
That's just the way I am

That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy but, sometimes I'm just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel oh yeah
That's when I need you
Sometimes I get emotional
[fade]

That's just the way I am
Sometimes I feel like crying
Laying down and dying
That's when I need you
Laughing's always easy but sometimes I'm just scared you'll leave me
That's when I feel emotional."

Sammie smiled as she finished her performance of "Emotional." She looked at the judges for further instructions.

((Emotional ~ Diana DeGarmo))

[Simon Cowell]

Simon wrote down his notes, nodding as he did so.

"Thank you, Sammie," he told her.

[Josh Kaiser]

Josh walked out onto the stage. He had done a lot of practcing. He hoped the judges would like his song. This was more his song than his last choice, but he liked them both. He grabbed the mike and looked down at the judges, "This round," he started, "I will be singing 'Take It Easy' by the Eagles." He looked down at Simon and started as soon as he got the okay to begin:

"Well, I’m running down the road
Tryin’ to loosen my load
I’ve got seven women on
My mind,
Four that wanna own me,
Two that wanna stone me,
One says she’s a friend of mine
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own wheels
Drive you crazy
Lighten up while you still can
Don’t even try to understand
Just find a place to make your stand
And take it easy
Well, I’m a standing on a corner
In winslow, arizona
And such a fine sight to see
It’s a girl, my lord, in a flatbed
Ford slowin’ down to take a look at me
Come on, baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me
We may lose and we may win though
We will never be here again
So open up, I’m climbin’ in,
So take it easy
Well I’m running down the road trying to loosen
My load, got a world of trouble on my mind
Lookin’ for a lover who won’t blow my
Cover, she’s so hard to find
Take it easy, take it easy
Don’t let the sound of your own
Wheels make you crazy
Come on baby, don’t say maybe
I gotta know if your sweet love is
Gonna save me, oh oh oh
Oh we got it easy
We oughta take it easy

He finished and heard the applause. He smiled and bowed. After that he exited off the stage. Ready to listen to who was going next.

(I realize the grammer in the song is very bad, but please don't dock points. It was the best source I found.)

[Randy Jackson]

Randy took some notes and asked who was next.

[Sean Jones]

Sean walked onto the stage, eager to get the performance over with. It had taken him a very long time to choose his song, but he finally chose one of his favorite songs, "Bad Day" by Daniel Powter. He really liked the song and hoped that the judges would like his performance. Sean got to the center of the stage and began.

"Where is the moment when we need it the most
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost
They tell me your blue sky's faded to grey
They tell me your passion's gone away
And I don't need no carrying on

You stand in the line just to hit a new low
You're faking a smile with the coffee to go
You tell me your life's been way off line
You're falling to pieces every time
And I don't need no carrying on

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Well you need a blue sky holiday
The point is they laugh at what you say
And I don't need no carrying on

You had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
The camera don't lie
You're coming back down and you really don't mind
You had a bad day
You had a bad day

Sometimes the system goes on the blink and the whole thing it turns out
Wrong
You might not make it back and you know that you could be well oh that
Strong
Well I'm not wrong

So where is the passion when you need it the most
Oh you and I
You kick up the leaves and the magic is lost

Cause you had a bad day
You're taking one down
You sing a sad song just to turn it around
You say you don't know
You tell me don't lie
You work at a smile and you go for a ride
You had a bad day
You see what you like
And how does it feel, one more time
You had a bad day
You had a bad day
You had a bad day."

Sean grinned as he finished the song and waited for the judges to say something.

[Randy Jackson]

"Next," he said writing some notes.

[Rayna Watson]

Rayna walked out onto the stage with her head up high and clearing her thoat.
She greeted everyone and waited for the intro to come.
Then, she breathed in and began singinging softly at first for the beginning:



"Story of my life,
Searching for the right
But it keeps avoiding me
Sorrow in my soul
Because it seems that wrong
Really loves my compnay
He's more than a man
And this is mroe than love
The reason that the sky is blue
But clouds are rolling in
Because I'm gone again
and to hi I jst can't be true



And I know that he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
(pause)
I can see him dying.

Then Rayna starts to move along with the music and words of the song.

"I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
That everyitme I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt himmanymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be
(pause)
A murderer.......(singing low at this point.)




I feel it in the air
As I'm doing my hair
Getting ready for another date
A kiss upon the cheek
Is good for him to be
Knowing that I'll be up late
I say I won't be long
Just hanging with the girls
A lie I didn't have to tell..
(a little higheR)
Cause we both know
Where I'm about to go
And we know it very wellllll



Caus eI know he knows I'm unfaithful
And it kills him inside
To know that I am happy with some other guy
(pause)
Ic an see him dyin.

(higheR)
"I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reason why
That everyitme I walk out the door
I see him die a little more inside
I don't wanna hurt himmanymore
I don't wanna take away his life
I don't wanna be
(pause)
A murderer.......


Our love........... his trust
(pausE)
I might as well take a gun and put it through his head
Get it over with
)pause)
(sad)
I don't wanna do thisss ............ anymore.
anymmorreeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.............(low)



I don't wanna do this anymore
I don't wanna be the reaosn why
That everyitme I wlak ou the door
I see him die a liitle mroe inside.
(higher)
And don't wanna hurt himanymore ...
I don't wanna take away his liiffeeeee

(pausE)_
A murderer......



A murdeder.........
OOhhhhh ..ooohhhhhhh ..ooohhhhhhh


Rayna breathed in and said thank you to the applauding audience.
"Thank you everyone!" she smiled.

[Simon Cowell]

((What's the name of the song, Rayna?))

"Thank you, Rayna," Simon said, taking a few notes down, "Next."

[Rayna Watson]

(( Unfaithful - Rihanna ))


"You're welcome .." Rayna smield as she left the stage.

[Judith Tyson]

Judith walked in. She sat down at the judges table in Paula's empty chair. She looked up at the stage waiting for the next auditioner.

[Emma Rimes]

Emma walked onto the stage feeling butterflys in her stomach. She tryed to make herself calm by thinking how proud her mother would be of her. Emma let out a sigh, and her brown eyes looked at the mike. She left it on the stand, and started singing softly but powerley, this time she took a song that took her awhile to find but it fit her voice and singing style very well.
How do I,
Get through the night without you?
If I had to live without you,
What kind of life would that be?
Oh, I
I need you in my arms, need you to hold,
You're my world, my heart, my soul,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything good in my life,

And tell me now
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Without you,
There'd be no sun in my sky,
There would be no love in my life,
There'd be no world left for me.
And I,
Baby I don't know what I would do,
I'd be lost if I lost you,
If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything real in my life,

And tell me now,
How do I live without you?
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

Please tell me baby,
How do I go on?

If you ever leave,
Baby you would take away everything,
I need you with me,
Baby don't you know that you're everything,
Real in my life?

And tell me now,
How do I live without you,
I want to know,
How do I breathe without you?
If you ever go,
How do I ever, ever survive?
How do I, how do I, oh how do I live?

How do I live without you?

How do I live without you baby?

After she was done singing she smiled and backed away from the mike waiting to hear what the judges would say next.
(How do I live~Lee Ann Rimes)

[Simon Cowell]

"Thank you, Emma," Simon said, "Next."

((Randy will be sending you a quiz, if he hasn't already.))

[Emma Rimes]

Emma smiled "thanks," said Emma happily as she left the stage.
(alright)

[Christopher Dedalus]

Chris jogged out onto the stage, "Hi guys, I will be singing Ring of Fire, by Johnny Cash." He took a few deep breathes and started to sing.

"Ring Of Fire by Johnny Cash
Love Is A Burning Thing
And It Makes A Fiery Ring
Bound By Wild Desire
I Fell Into A Ring Of Fire

CHORUS:
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

The Taste Of Love Is Sweet
When Hearts Like Ours Meet
I Fell For You Like A Child
Oh, But The Fire Went Wild

CHORUS
I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

I Fell Into A Burning Ring Of Fire
I Went Down, Down, Down
And The Flames Went Higher

And It Burns, Burns, Burns
The Ring Of Fire
The Ring Of Fire

And It Burns, Burns, Burns

The Ring Of Fire

The Ring Of Fire."

He bowed and ran off the stage.
