Not to give anything away, but your ideas are actually what the final rounds were going to consist of.
And I don't see how quitting the right thing to do; it's being selfish to the people who voted for you, the people who had to judge you, and the people who could've been in your position and wouldn't quit at the sign of dissonance.
Although I dont agree with the tones, I do agree with several points that have been made tonight. How can we improve the comeptition unless opinions are voiced. Blow ups suck but at the same time on occasion they offer an opportunity to improve things.
(Can I just pipe in that, like, two weeks ago I posted a questionnaire that included how we can improve on the competition?)
ETA: Thanks, JAC! You're the only person so far who knew who it was without asking me first. I'm thinking, "Dude, HERMIONE GRANGER is foreign to you??"
My quitting before the results is not denying any of the other 3 a spot. Only paradox has a right to complain on that regard.
To those who voted for me, I am truly sorry for this jerkish thing to do, but it must be done.
To the judges, you are 3 great and cool people, but this is for the best.
Perhaps many people missed that tiff.. I never saw it.
I don't want to get involved in this arguement, so I will just say that I think everyone did great this week. You are all such talented people.
This is my first time posting in this thread. So...hi! It's kind of sad how excited I am, really.
You changed your av, you SONUVABITCH!
I knew who she was.
I don't mean denying someone a spot, since, as you said, we would've had to eliminate someone soon anyway. But to quit like this, over a disagreement and when everyone's emotions are running high, is silly when there were other people who would have loved to be in your position in the final 4.
ETA: Welcome, enjolras! Get comfortable!
I think it is less over the disagreement than a just a generally difficult situation.
It is a hard position to be in.
Where this hell is Stephen?
Why am I getting the brunt of this??
It's not just a disagreement. It's everything. I am tired. I have spent I dunno how much time and money putting together crappy recordings of my voice. Call it it ego or pride or **holishness. It is all 3 of those things. The only fair thing for the others is to bow out. I have no energy left to record 3 songs that are NOT going to impress you guys, so I'm just gonna bow out.

Perhaps its insecurity, jerb? No need for it. You're quite talented. Moreso than I.
I thought you were doing this for yourself, not caring what we thought?
"Think about the faaaans!"
Yes, if I were still in, it would have been for me and to hell what Simon, Paula...I mean you guys thought.
To be fair, I'd rather be the Simon than the drug-rattled floozy.

But the whole point of art is to express what YOU feel, not caring what others think.
And I don't think you're being completely honest with yourself.
no one was typecasting
J/K!
It is nearly 11 out there, Stephen would have long been in bed by now.
He is not feeling his best, as I think he said.
Tiff tries to deny that she's a drugged out floozy.. but we all know the truth..
Do drugs that aren't over the counter count???
Anyway, so what's the final word here?
The Final Word: You have an excellent Final 3.

But you've been in it so long, jerb! sooooo long!
I didn't read this thread for awhile, and Jerby's quit... it makes me sad.
I'm sorry you decided to drop out jrb. You've been one of my favourites since the beginning.
