The names are not listed in order of appearance but the ladies are always first. That may not be the case after the draw for the order of appearance takes place.
Now if you want to hear these songs then to put it bluntly... "It is Salt"! The songs are not available for listening online or even for purchase. I guess you have to be very lucky to be listening to one of the local radio stations and hopefully they would play a song and you could then get a chance to listen.
Just think about this, there were 150 persons registered for the competition with 25 slated to move on to the semi final round. Where are those songs... what happened? Did you hear them or do you think that you will have an opportunity to hear any of them any time soon? I am not confident that anyone (outside of the TUCO family) will hear them anytime soon.
Again, let me repeat myself: The songs are not available for listening (on demand) or even for purchase! That is a shame! Shame on TUCO! Shame on those responsible for this travesty!
