IBAChandler uploaded his second video on 1 August, not long after CChanSonichuCWC. He performed "{{w|Don't Say You Love Me (M2M song)|Don't Say You Love Me}}" by Norwegian pop duo {{w|M2M (band)|M2M}}, which was featured in both the ''[[Pokémon]]: The First Movie'' soundtrack and ''[[Christian's Favorite Hits!]]''.

Ironically, Ian 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 [[Caitlin|"May I help you?"]] One of the song's lyrics even goes "[[Catherine#The bowling outing|We sit there and you start kissing me, what's that about?]]" (though Ian's version replaces that line with "You said you love me", which still works). With that said, this is one of his slightly better attempts at singing, as he is trying to at least hit different notes (even if they're all out of key). | |||

IBAChandler uploaded his second video on 1 August, not long after CChanSonichuCWC. He performed "Don't Say You Love Me" by Norwegian pop duo M2M, which was featured in both the Pokémon: The First Movie soundtrack and Christian's Favorite Hits!. At the end of the video, Ian taunts the real Chris.
Ironically, Ian 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?"

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 what the rap music genre is about, 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. Chris was also unaware that The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air theme is a real song, and even if it were just a song composed for a TV show, it was both released as a single and is featured on some of Will Smith's greatest hits albums. 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]
