Each of the finalists will receive four donator packs for reaching the last stage of the Tornovision song contest. If you submitted a song which you sung with your own mouth but you didn't make it through, you will receive two donator packs in the coming days. As for the finalists, the top three as decided by the public will receive gold, silver and bronze microphone items, in addition to the usual points and ribbons.
A nude knife fight will be used to determine placements in the event of a tie - or we'll give both entries prizes, one of the two. For a list of all finalists please visit the relevant thread in General Discussion, or read the article below. You have until midnight on Tuesday 28th of May to cast your vote.
CerealKillaKyle - I Will Always Love Torn
In this heartfelt cover of a romantic classic, CerealKillaKyle declares his undying love for the city, the casino and Chedburn. His original lyrics are set to the tune of I Will Always Love you by Whitney Houston. His vocals are set to the tune of the sounds her family made when they found out she was dead. Yet still, CerealKillaKyle's charming entry is one you won't be able to stop listening to all day - and he pays the dog tax too.

C-V - Look At The Map
Despite its runtime exceeding the official limit by 28 seconds, the judges decided to allow C-V's entry through to the qualifying rounds as they could think of no good reason to be mean and ban it. Look At The Map is an original rap / spoken word song where C-V tells of his life as a tryer in Torn City. He says he had fun making it. We think you'll have fun listening to it too.

CatHead - My Heart is Torn
CatHead came back from inactivity to record this original solo effort, and we're glad he did, as this likeable bastard somehow manages to make horrific crimes and narcotics seem quite whimsical in My Heart is Torn. CatHead's entry comes accompanied by a music video which sees our elusive songstrel scurrying around a beach with an acoustic guitar - a pleasant scene interrupted only by his aggressive demands for further narcotics midway through.

Triplicant - Rabid Squeaking Field Mouse
Set to the tune of Modern Major General by Gilbert and Sullivan, Triplicant's original lyrics are complemented by a Eurovision-appropriate instrumental - also original -which sounds like something Tim and Eric might use to score a disturbing sketch about sexy uncles. And if that wasn't enough, he's also provided a music video too.

Reddit - Torn Mission
Reddit really shows off his vocal abilities in this impressive acoustic piece about what happens when you deal with Duke. If this were part of Eurovision, it'd be sung by a Dutch indie kid who inexplicably sings in an American accent. With his entry based partially on a Post Malone song, Reddit has found a fine use for his brand new guitar.

Bagel / Idiotsandwich - We Live In Torn
This original track by husband and wife duo Bagel and Idiotsandwich begins with a mournful tone which rises up towards hope as the song goes on. You'll be warmed to your heart thanks to its positive message about Dude, and indeed the pleasing vocals of Torn's Got Talent runner-up Bagel, which help the track to sound like the solo release of every ex-boyband member ever.

DeludedWizard - Welcome To Torn
The deep and soulful vocals of DeludedWizard are perfect for telling stories, and that's exactly what he does in guitar-driven tale of Torn's recent history. DW's European accent [idk, The Netherlands?] gives us the Eurovision vibe we were looking for, and his considered delivery on lines such as "change your sex" made the judges feel feelings we never knew we were capable of.

EdwardLapLaz / Alexander220204 - Blackjack
This collaboration between EdwardLapLaz and Alexander220204 is more infectiously catchy than the bastard lovechild of Flu and Ebola - the slightly duff audio quality does little to take away from the enjoyment of this delightful track. An original song with original lyrics, Ed and Alex drew on their experiences of the Torn Casino for this entry, and its content should help in attracting the votes of our city's biggest gambling losers.

Crannie - Life of Torn
Backed by the most classic of classical piano tracks, Crannie's Life of Torn is far too fancy for a competition like this. Her lyrics act as an advert to tempt players to our fair city, and even though she complains that Japan should sell something other than shrooms, her positive take on Torn life will surely have players signing up in droves.

John_Wick - Everything Takes Long in Torn
If this song truly was a last minute effort as John_Wick says, then one wonders what he could've made if he'd taken more time. John_Wick can really sing, and even the male members of our jury were somehow impregnated by his astonishingly fertile voice. John's lyrics were excellent too, as he let new Torn citizens know in no uncertain terms that Torn City is no place for a casual gamer.

Proph - An Ode To Ched
Despite the fact that he seems to have recorded this in a bathroom stall, Proph's track An Ode To Ched still comes across rather well. The lyrics are the standout feature of this entry, as Proph imagines what it would be like to be a 16-year-old Ched on the verge of creating Torn City. I can imagine our lord and saviour Chedburn will be rather impressed at this entry, not least because he now has the perfect backing track for lovemaking.

Otter / CatHead - Fragrant Flower Thug
Definitely one to bust out the lighters for, Otter's beautiful cover of Can You Feel The Love Tonight dispenses with sentiments about lions boning and instead declares love for the city's flower runners. A lyrical collaboration with CatHead, this song would melt even the Night King's heart, and I challenge you not to cry at the track's tragic final line - even though it sounds like it was delivered by Tom DeLonge.

Dntazemebr0 - My Breaks Gonna Come
A stylish effort from Dntazembebr0, this song tells a story of woe familiar to many Torn citizens, sharing the writer's hopes and dreams that one day his luck will turn around. Based on A Change Is Gonna Come by Sam Cooke, Dntazemebr0's vocals are so soulful that we've just hired him to read us bedtime stories every night.
