After Round 3

KARAOKE CHALLENGE (2 points per word)
First up is Pete. He needs three to take
the lead.
- 1989, Hank Williams Jr with Hank
William, "There's a Tear in My Beer".
Pete drinks up nine for 18, giving him 28
and the lead.
Dianna is next. She needs nine to tie.
- 2000, Bon Jovi, "It's My Life"
Dianna fist pumps her way to 12 for 24
more and the lead with 34.
Phillip needs lucky 13 to move on to the
next round.
- 1990, Dwight Yoakam, "Turn It On, Turn
It Up, Turn Me Loose"
Phillip turned it on, turned it up, but
it was WAY too loose, giving him two for a total of 14. He WON'T be
moving on...
... but will Sandy? She just needs seven.
- 2000, Phil Vassar, "Just Another Day in
Paradise"
Sandy needed seven... She got 13 for 26,
giving her 41. It's Sandy versus Dianna in...
CHORUS SHOWDOWN
Sandy will have the honor on the first
song, and the song is from 2006 by Rodney Atkins. Sandy will PLAY.
- 2006, Rodney Atkins, "These Are My
People"
Sandy: "These are my people / This is
where I come from / We givin' this life
everything we got... " It was "WE'RE givin' this life..."
This could be Dianna's big chance at the
upset...
- 2004, Keith Urban, "Better Life"
Dianna: "Someday baby / You and I are
gonna be the ones / good love's gonna
shine" For the want of a word, it was "Good luck's gonna shine."
Sandy wants to redeem herself...
- 1999, Mark Chestnut, "I Don't Wanna
Miss A Thing"
Sandy: "I don't wanna close my eyes
/ I don't wanna fall asleep / 'Cause I miss you
babe and I don't wanna miss a thing." This is NOT the Aerosmith
version. The "babe" is not needed.
Last shot at it for Dianna...
- 1994, Clay Walker, "If I Could Make a
Living"
Dianna: "If I could make a livin'
out of lovin' you / I'd be a millionaire in a week or two / I'd be doin'
what I love / and lovin' what I do / If I could make a livin' out of
lovin' you." WINNER!
Dianna upset the leader to be the
champion... but now can she get paid for it? All she has to do is
complete five songs correctly. Each one is worth $500 cash money. 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!
