- 1976, Bellamy Brothers, "Let Your
Love Flow"
BAND: So let that feelin' / grab you deep

Jill: "With your lover." (RIGHT!)
BAND: Just let your love flow...
Cassidy: "Deep down in my soul" (like a
mountain stream)

Jill: "That's the
reason" (It's the season.)
BAND: Let your love fly...
Cassidy: "Higher and higher" (like a bird

BAND: And let your love bind you...
Jill: "To all livin' things." (RIGHT!)
BAND: And let your love shine / and you'll know what I mean...

There's always one that knows that she
totally screwed it. Today, it's Cassidy. Meanwhile Jill has 10 more.
After Round 3
Mark: 15
Daniel: 20
Jill: 10
Cassidy: 0
KARAOKE CHALLENGE (2 points per word)
First up is Cassidy, who's been zero for
the world right now. She needs as many as she can get... eight will help
her out immensely.
- 2006, Rascal Flatts, "Stand"
Cassidy apparently was saving her best
for last, because she SWEPT that one.
Jill needs five to tie for second.
- 1994, Hootie & the Blowfish, "Let
Her Cry"
Another perfect score! Jill is up to 40.
Mark needs eight to move on.
- 1992, Garth Brooks, "That Summer"
No perfect score, but 14 works for 28
more. He's definitely moving on with 43.
Daniel needs to get 10 to tie, 11 to win.
- 2005, Craig Morgan, "Redneck Yacht
Club"
And for the fourth time in the series, we
have a PERFECT SCORE! Craig moves on with 50!
CHORUS SHOWDOWN
Craig will have the honor on the first
song, and the song is from 2003 by Brooks & Dunn. Daniel will PLAY.
- 2003, Brooks & Dunn, "You Can't
Take the Honky Tonk out of the Girl"
Daniel: "She flies
to LA she flies to..." Almost, it was "She lives in LA, she flies
to New York City".
Mark could have sweet redemption here if
he nails the chorus.
- 1996, George Strait, "Blue Clear
Sky"
Mark: "Here she comes a walkin'
trawkin' to love." That's
"talkin' true". Daniel's still alive...
- 2003, No Doubt, "It's My Life"
Daniel: "'Cause
it's my life." No, it isn't. Mark gets another shot... very crucial
moment...
- 1996, Sheryl Crow, "If It Makes
You Happy"
Mark: "If it makes you happy / It can't
be that bad / If it makes you happy / Then why the hell are you so sad."
WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!
So Mark came from behind and the title is
his to take. But can he profit from it? All he has to do is complete five
songs correctly. Each one is worth $500 cash. Five is worth $10,000.
BUT, miss one and get a strike. Miss three... game over. But
you do get to take home any cash you win, so no excuse not to go for it.
It's time to play... THE FINAL COUNTDOWN!

Mother freedom / Father o' time / Since she left me by
myself / You're the only family...
Mark: "I got left" THAT'S ONE!

The corrrect answer
was, "instead of having sweet dreams about you." But it's okay,
because you have $1500 and the title of the Singing Bee
Champion.
Six more people will
try to sing it right (because that's all that matters) next
week. Play us out, Steve.
