Here they are, your final 12, you picked them, and here you go, now the fun can really begin. The PSI Daily Update will be up soon, looking for "theme" recommendations for the week, and possibly other staff members. Anyways, you have all waited for too long, what do you think of the twelve finalists? I made something real quick to make things easier...i definitely should have been studying, but I'm good at making things and it didnt take too much time with the help of VH1.com. How do you guys feel about the final 12? Pretty diverse.

The picture isn't showing up. Either rename "final12.JPG" to "final12.txt" in the Geocities File Manager, or find a place like www.photobucket.com to host the file. The final 12 are: Sarah McLachlan Rivers Cuomo (of Weezer) Nelly Furtado Celine Dion Amy Lee (of Evanescence) Rob Thomas (of Matchbox Twenty) Shirley Manson (of Garbage) Brian McKnight Shania Twain Seal Toni Braxton Jewel

Rivers over Prince? k, im done voting You're just losing your voice in the outcome if you do that. (If anyone's wondering, I voted for both Rivers and Prince in the wild card round.)

Matt, there you go, thanks for the recommendation.
TRE: Since we'll eventually only have one person left, that's how the game goes, favorite artists always fall for people, I'm sure there are others you would like to make it. If you guys want the percentages I'll tell you....Prince was second to last place.
Not to mention, Rivers is the new John Stevens, I'm gonna guess he'll last until the Final 6. It's too early to predict the final three. I was extremely surprised that Stacie Orrico didn't pull through, she seemed to have a strong base. I do not understand how Brian McKnight got in over other great R&B artists like Usher or Prince.

I am in college, and Rivers\Weezer is a great band. Saw them live last summer, it was up there with the Strokes this past may, extremely good concert. I hate to say who I'm happy for, but I am glad to see Rivers make it.

I hate to say who I'm happy for, but I am glad to see Rivers make it. You mean back in 2002? I think that was the last time they toured. I saw them that summer, but the Strokes were not on the bill due to the singer's injury or something. A pre-fame Rooney was also on the second stage... I wish I'd have stayed to see them for a few minutes.

I have never seen Weezer live, but damn, I want to. They are one of my favorite bands. I almost went to one but last minute changes made me cancel >:(

correction, it was definitely in 2002, because I remember how pissed I was at Casablancas tripping over his own legs, sober. I thought since it was the Strokes it would be a lot more "cooler" of an injury like overdose, hurt in a fight, or some sort of crime. Yeah, it was that summer though.

hahaha, i have no idea why. I definitely remember checking everyones e-mail, so why it said is wasn't read, I have no idea why because you know I always try to promote voters for the competition. I definetly could have been racist for having Rivers Cuomo go ahead of.....oh yeah three other white peope. Just kidding, anyways, all of the votes were tallied, and if any of you want the specific results, message me, and I'll give them to you tomorrow morning. I have no idea what happened Matt...well, maybe a little racism, just kidding.

Maybe my votes were sent in too late or something.

its time to head out to the bars, but if i remember yours correctly, you had #1, #2, and #10 overall for the final wild card ratings. And "rumors" totally agree with you about Rob for the future when discussing your message from the Wild Card room. Well I'm out, see you guys tomorrow, I've been chcecking on this each time I'm going to the bathroom. I'll let you guys comment on each other rather than me every other time, take it easy. Oh yeah, I will have a PSI Update sometime tomorrow. Looks like the finals should be a good time.

PSI Daily Update:
As you can see, with the fact that the finals are starting soon, message activity is way up, so things look like they will get interesting. The performances will begin tomorrow night at around 11:00pm, so voting will start soon, in about a day. Tomorrow's theme is "upbeat", that means all of the artists will be singing their OWN songs this week. Since it's the very first week, I thought that we shouldn't jump to covers just yet. Voting will end on Wednesday Night at 11:30 PM, giving three days to vote. Since the voting method of the Wild Card Round was a success, we will continue to use that for the rest of the competition. For all new people, it will be explained how to vote again tomorrow. As far as you guys, here is what you can help get going.
- Anyone have ideas for a guest judge? - Anyone have any songs they would prefer for the artists? Remember though, songs can't be performed twice in this competition unless it is the Grand Final, details late will tell what thats about, but please RECOMMEND SOME SONGS WHICH YOU THINK CAN HELP YOUR FAVORITE ARTIST SURVIVE.
This has been your PSI Daily Update. Enjoy the weekend.

Well, after a long time waiting, and after the The Polling Booth has looked like a ghost town today, it's time to add excitement with the official beginning to the Pulse Superstar Finals. Tonight we have twelve finalists, six official group champions and six official wild card champions. It should be interesting to see what happens during an upbeat theme, with a very upbeat special guest......you rejected him last week, but being the good man he is, he came back to be a judge, here is the one, the only, your purpleness, Prince.....
With the intoduction, enough with the waiting let's get started.
Amy Lee- Going Under Crowd Rating: 9 Judge's Comments: Randy- Amy, I thought that was pretty good dog, I understand why you were here, it wasn't amazing but it was aight. Paula- Amy, you have a beautiful voice, and regardless of this competition, you should have many hits ahead of you. Prince- assembled beautifully, excellent work Amy. Simon- Okay Amy, I will tell you again and again, you are good, but not finals material, not even the Final 8 material, you are good, but the time is not right.
Well, Amy I thought and still think you have just as good as chance as anyone, even as much as our next artist, the beautiful Shirley Manson.
Shirley Manson- Stupid Girl Crowd Rating: 10 Judge's Comments: Randy- Yo dog, Shirley, where was the girl we saw about four series ago? She wasn't here tonight, I love ya, but I'm sorry. Paula- Shirley you look great tonite, but we're still looking for the same girl who showed up singing Special. Prince- Shirley. The sound just wasn't with you tonight, but you are still invited to my vegetarian barbeque tonite. Simon- Shirley, I thought that just sounded like a total mess. You weren't hitting the notes and qute frankly, the performance was a disaster.
Well Shirley, I'm sure you'll get enough support from your fans, let's hope so. Up next, Montreal or Las Vegas's own, Celine Dion...
Celine Dion- I Drove All Night Crowd Rating: 4 Judge's Comments: Randy- Yeeeeah Dog, Yeeeeah! This has been your best performance of the whole competition, keep it up girl, yeah dog! Paula- Celine I said it once, I'll say it agian, you might have the best voice of our time. Prince- You're voice reminds me of a newborn child, simply beautiful. Simon- Maybe not the best song choice, but the performance was well-done. Good.
A positive comment from Simon? What is this, opposite day, ha! Well up next here is my main bro' Seal, performing something he has been waiting to perform to you...
Seal- Waiting For You Crowd Rating: 5 Judge's Comments: Randy- Dog, Yo Dog, yeah, that's where it's at, I think you have a while to go in this competition dog. Paula- Everyone sounds great tonight, it's gonna be tough for these fans. Prince- I have been waiting to hear that song, ha. Simon- Song was good, but nothing amazing...Seal, the only problem I have with you, is that it seems like a lot of music sounds the same, and I'm afraid were going to get bored with it.
Way to go Soil, I mean Seal! That was great, but will it be as good as the next artist? He's one smooth guy, here's Matchbox Twenty's, Rob Thomas.
Rob Thomas- Long Day Crowd Rating: 7 Judge's Comments: Randy- Okay dog, here's what I get from this song choice. Not too popular, because you feel no need or reason to sing one of your more popular songs because you aren't afraid of being voted off. All I got to say is, be careful dog. Paula- Rob it doesn't matter, you don't have a chance of getting voting off, at least this week! Prince- Please accept an invitation to my barbeque. No worries about gaining weight again. Simon- I'd have to agree with Randy. You are playing your game, but I hope you are playing it wisely. Their have been times in the past when people have had to leave by total surprise. This isn't a talent show in West Virginia, this is Pulse Supserstar Idol Rob, be careful.
Well Rob, I still think the song sounded great, you should be set brother. Well, Man! I'm ready for a woman to perform, a beautiful, delicate one named Shania Twain,
Shania Twain- Man! I Feel Like A Woman Crowd Rating: Judge's Comments: 3 Randy- Yo yo yo yo yo! That was hot! Shania, I know you have really made your way through some close calls, but I don't think you have to worry about that for a while after tonite's perfromance. Yeah dog! Paula- Shania, you are a great artist, and that was a great performance. Prince- Man! I really do not like that song. But haha, good job. Simon- I can't believe I am saying this, but that was a very good performance. The only thing is, I think it's a flash in the pan, I can't see how you can pull this off week after week.
Well up next, is a man who hasn't faced so much ridecule in such a long time, but let's see if he can sway the voters tonight, here's Rivers Cuomo!
Rivers Cuomo- Hash Pipe Crowd Rating: 11 Judge's Comments: Randy- Yo Dog Rivers, I'll tell you again, You are talented, but do not belong in this competition. Paula- Randy, what type of formula do you expect to have for this competition? Isn't it all about who people vote for? It is, and Rivers, that wasn't bad at all. Prince- Mister C, understand that everyone can't love you, but you are a great writer, and have lots of potential. Come to my barbeque and we will discuss it over some vegetarian ribs. Simon- Okay Rivers. This is hard. You are a good artist, no question about that. However, you are completely out of your league right now. You're already running on empty...simply, you need a miracle.
Up next, is the wild new mom from up North, a mom that can sing, a mom named Nelly Furtado!
Nelly Furtado- ...On The Radio Crowd Rating: 8 Judge's Comments: Randy- Aight, Nelly. I just wasn't feelin it tonite like how I did before. Just, I don't know dog, jut not tonite. Paula- Nelly, I think you have a lot of potential, but tonite wasn't one of your best showings. Prince- That bored me. Simon- Nelly, in substitute for when Pure Moods cd's, they should just play that song to put people to sleep...i swear i saw at least 25 "z's" coming out of people's mouths when i turned around to look at the audience.
Well were more than half way through tonite's performances, and up next, the champion of the very first group of semi-finalists, the lovely Jewel!
Jewel- Who Will Save Your Soul? Crowd Rating: 6 Judge's Comments: Randy- Yo Jewel, one of the better performances of tonite, but that wasn't as upbeat as I was looking for, maybe because you we're folling Nelly, or you both from North of the border, a little bland to me dog. Paula- Jewel you have a beautiful voice, you just need to make sure to have the good song choice. Prince- I like it, one ticket to my barbeque tonite. Simon- Hey purple man, I better be invited to that barbeque tonite...anyways, Jewel, I hope people flipping through the channels do not think this is Boring Idol and vote for you, wait, I hope they do, because after tonite's performance, you will need those confused voters.
I really do not know what you are talking about guys, I thought it was great. Up next, the one and only, Brian McKnniiiight!
Brian McKnight- 6,8,12 Crowd Rating: 12 Judge's Comments: Randy- Brian, come on dog, hat just sounded plain terrible. Paula- Brian, I know what your capable of, and that just didn't sound good tonight. Prince- Brian, you are not invited to my VB tonite. Simon- I think it's safe to say that you should probably be packing up your bags. You will easily find yourself in the bottom three, I'm sorry Brian, but you need some help...I just can't take another boring song, this night is a catastrophe right now.
Toni Braxton- He Wasn't Man Enough Crowd Rating: 1 Judge's Comments: Randy- Toni! Yeah dog! Yeeeeeeeah! Wow! That was just the best perfromace I have seen this entire night, this entire competition. You look bangin' dog! Paula- Wow! You might just be the next Idol. Prince- That was superb Toni. In your face Simon Cowell. Simon- What can I say, that was outstanding.
Wow, hopefully Sarah can follow up to Toni, Sarah McLachlan that is, and now as our final performance, here she is perfroming Possession,
Sarah McLachlan- Possession Crowd Rating: 2 Judge's Comments: Randy- Thank god for you and Toni dog! You have just turned this night compltely around, I think we're gonna have a hell of close vote for #1 this week. Paula- Sarah, you have been flawless this competition, that was great. Prince- Good. Simon- Sarah, I would like to say that was as good as everyone seems to think it was. But honestly, I think a lot of the crowd is just following the energy of Toni's performance. I mean it was average if you ask me, to be honest, I think you were playing Rob's game...it just was average to me.
Okay, that's all 12 performers! Voting will end on Thursday night unless people feel differently. It has been a wild night and for those who do not remember how to vote:
Write in your top 3 performances to rkwo in a private message, so everything can be tallied up and kept secret. As for me, see you thursday, when we find out who will be our first finalist leaving the competition.
VOTING IS OFFICIALLY OPEN NOW!

Keep up the voting guys, we're on track to beat last weeks amount of total voters. It's already pretty interesting to say the least, close as usual.
Who do you think is going to be the bottom three?

eeeeeeasy bob, keep up the voting, it's close, and just one vote can determine it. I haven't added up any of the votes yet, but just have skimmed at the votes, and from what I have seen....I'm not going to say anything, nevermind, but just keep up the voting and find others. Take it easy.
