mxtthewdelrey Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 diarrhoea's critiques 4 tha semi-final Henry (theycallmemaraj) Quote Hate this song xxx I guess it suited you though. I loved when your accent came through, it was so #real. Also, your entries are all v/ LQ but I feel you really understand mixing. The mxtt-pandering in your choices I'm not sure the mashup worked all that well? I didn't find the verses great. The first song was better. Jack Reid (Jackson) Quote This was the first time I actually made out the words it was nice! I liked the guitar this week and felt as though it actually lent itself nicely to the arrangement. The beginning of the chorus was a but jarring but other than that I really liked it. I felt like the backing vocals would have really helped in parts, maybe it's bc I know the song too well. This was probably your strongest entry throughout the competition, I don't have much to say but it was just very well executed. Jack. E (MasterXPosed) Quote One of my least favourite Poppy songs tbh but you sang the s*** out of it. In the pre-chorus it was perhaps a bit much? If it were quieter, the chorus would probably have popped a bit more. Again, maybe a bit extra? A little more light and dark could do you some good. I think the production could have been better if changed, but D&B wasn't what I had in mind it's not, like, crap, though. Tymps (Tymps.) Quote I don't feel this is a very singing competition song? It's nice and meaningful and whatnot, but she sings it weirdly (bc she's her) and it's very repetitive. You sang it well (very well in fact, sometimes you're too show-y but this showed your vocals in a v/ cute and raw way), but the choice kinda limited its effectiveness somewhat. Again this just feels a bit middling for me, you have great moments and rarely ever fail (cough week one cough) but this just isn't particularly memorable. The production was odd, again I marked you high bc of your singing which truly is quite good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mxtthewdelrey Posted March 27, 2017 Author Share Posted March 27, 2017 (edited) mxtthewdelrey's critique$ critiques 4 theycallmemaraj Paradise - this is top 3 in Charli’s discography and I’m so happy you chose it. And you even did the harmonies YOURSELF but overall this is one of those times where I just don’t find your voice that pleasant to listen to sorry, it was TOO much in this entry :’( just like Diarrhoea said, I luh when your accent came through as well When I Rule the World / Number 1 Angel - omg the way you TEASED me into thinking you were doing WIRTW This was just as much as a treat though So creative, stunning, gorgeous, talented. It might not have been a great idea to start with my least favourite track on my mixtape but your voice was so sweet and on-point for the “Baby you’ve got it” I was living. The fact this entry reinforced the views of all the people who call this mixtape samey though When you went into Roll With Me I wish you had gone into a bit of cupcakKe’s Lipgloss verse FANTASTIC! Extra in a great way critiques 4 the lemur 4 Degrees - idk why you sound really hot singing this song I can’t put my finger on why that may be. I thought this was absolutely stunning. I wish you had held notes for a bit longer where they needed to be held, but other than that, this was so captivating and in the words of Michelle Visage, “the artistry I have come to expect from you”. Incredible job. I Am Not A Robot - you sounded really hot on 4 Degrees, and here you just sound really sweet and, to quote the song, loveable. This was just such a good week for you, and I feel so proud as a mentor of the entries you came out with critiques for jackson Lush Life - The guitar for this was absolute GORGEOUS and BREATHTAKING but I found the tuning of your voice to be really jarring throughout the entire entry. It really skipped back and forth between octaves and singing between the melody and your own improvisations. When you sang in head voice near the end that was gorgeous, and when you did low parts on the “Went low, went high” bit, that was amazing. Other than that, this was a tad disappointing but I kinda wanna hear you record this in a key that’s more comfortable so that you can stick to the melody throughout. Did you play this guitar live or record vocals separately, because if you could transpose that guitar instrumental then that would be fantastic Born to Die - Same note I gave to Tymps. for 4Degrees, I wish you would hold the notes that are originally held other than that, this was pretty. Again, the highlights were when you went into head voice cause that’s when you shine brightest. It was nice! critiques for jackie Lowlife - Your vocals on the chorus oh my GOD you sound so ****ing good. I’m ecstatic you picked this song. It’s one of my most played songs EVER and I absolutely adore it and you really did it justice. I don’t have much to say apart from that you slayed it Young and Beautiful - This isn’t one of my favourite Lana songs or anything but I was strangely so hyped for this entry. And you lived up to my expectations. The change-up was weird and I wish you had stayed to the orchestral instrumental, but that’s just a personal preference and I admire the unique touch still. Vocally and emotionally, this was just a glorious week for you, I really can’t say much else. side-note: Why on earth did you change the lyric to “He makes me shine like dominoes”? It caught me off-guard and made me cackle. reminded me of pears as well nnnnnn overall i definitely feel like there was a clear stand-out in each pairing Edited March 27, 2017 by mxtthewdelrey Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mxtthewdelrey Posted March 28, 2017 Author Share Posted March 28, 2017 TBH I gave Henry a higher score this week so I was kinda gonna save Henry cause I saved Jackson last week and the N1A medley was in my top 3 fave entries this week along with 4 Degrees and Lowlife. But with 2 save votes from the judges for Jackson, so it is written shall it be done, the act leaving us in fourth place is... Henry Henry you are a talented legend and I will never forget you, ever. The Final, Pt. I will come tomorrow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
