The second round of the SingStar Challenge saw IBAChandler's version of "Don't Say You Love Me" by M2M go up against CChanSonichuCWC's cover of "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air" by Will Smith.

IBAChandler's Entry

IBAChandler uploaded his second video on August 1, not long after CChanSonichuCWC. IBAChandler performed "Don't Say You Love Me", a one-hit wonder song featured in the first Pokémon film soundtrack and Christian's Favorite Hits!. It was originally performed by M2M, a Norwegian female pop duo. At the end of the video, IBAChandler taunts the real one.

Ironically, IBAChandler is singing a song about how you really can't love someone when you barely know them, which is ironic given that he's quick to declare his love quest over when a service employee asks "May I help you?"

I gotta believe! Leave it to Um Jamma Lammi! No, not this track. Here's a classic from M2M and the Pokemon world.

[sings possibly the least self-aware song that exists for Chris]

It is also track 2 on my Favorite Hits. [shows case to his mix CD] Ta da! Your turn, impasta! I believe, you fail!

CChanSonichuCWC's Entry

CChanSonichuCWC's second entry is the theme from The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, by Will Smith.

Almost immediately after this video was uploaded, Chris angrily accused CChanSonichuCWC of breaking the rules with this cryptic statement:

"I SAID REAL SONGS; YOU ARE AD-LIBBING; YOU ARE SOO DISQUALIFIED! Stay Tuned..."[1]

Chris is obviously unaware of the genre known as "rap music", the actual meaning of "ad libitum" (as in "improvisation" or "at the performer's discretion"), and also the minor detail that one doesn't "get tuned" on web pages. The TRUE CWC responded:

"WRONG! I am NOT "AD-LIBBING," as it is Only the Title Which is DIFFERENT as a RANDOM-ACCESS HUMOR JOKE. The SONG is REAL." [2]
