Be Our Guest
I want to do this before I go to bed. I had a hard time ultimately deciding what to cut because I like/love everything left. Doing a preliminary ranking of the 26 left in the game and this was at the bottom with one other. I was planning on cutting the other song, but then there is potentially no representation for that movie in the Final Ranking. I didn't want that to that movie, or be responsible for eliminating any of the remaining movies from the game, so I am taking the safe way out as people probably assume I will do this anyway! I have been responsible for the last 3 Beauty and the Beast cuts (including this one). While I think it's a great movie and this song is fantastic, the songs just don't hit as hard for me as others do at this point. Be Our Guest is sung by Lumiere, when he is trying to make Belle have a better time as the beasts prisoner. The song is so fun, with all the dancing dishes. I apologize as I know this song has it's fans, but it definitely has representation in the final ranking with Chris' advancement and like Chris, I prefer Beauty and the Beast.
If Mark Franklin says so, it must be true.
If it's a power ranking, I'd flip Triston and Will, and #3 is way too high for KB. He's always liked KB.

Triston is a little green, but he's a perfect TV character. He's not my first choice, but I wouldn't be mad if he won. Will probably doesn't need it...he'll be fine either way. I'm not sure from this group who the label might be interested in, besides those two, honestly. Maybe Emmy?
it's one thing to "throw" the competition if it's like Final 7 or Final 5 and you don't want to get stuck with the winner's contract. however, it is not logical to throw the competition at Final 12 when there are still multiple rounds of the competition left. that will just make you look like a flop and you risk losing support beyond the show. the contestants are still at the phase of the competition where they have to prove themselves.
