rl231 Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 1. A JAM. 2. Honestly, this song grew on me, so I'm digging it now. 3. A PRODUCTION, WE LIKE IT. 4. Not bad, not bad. Solid pop production. 5. Take it ALL. 6. SZA kills it on this track. 7. Ehh. 8. Eh. 9. Ehhh. (tbh, the best one out of the 3 foreign tracks tho) 10. It's not even the best song, but nOsTalGIa. 11. The production overshone the lyrics AND the vocals. Very conflicted there. 12. I hated it, and then I liked it. So round 1 > 2 >> 4 >> 3 for me but overall solid job, everyone! Good luck.
touya kinomoto Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Catergory 2: Songs From Acclaimed Albums Pt. II This was the round I was the most excited for because this category would be the one where I can find songs I can add to my library Song 4: This was the best song in this category for me. I am simply a sucker for good dance bops. Song 5: Wait, it is specified that you cannot use an artist that was used that round, right @Diarrhoea? Well, just like last time, her vocals turns me off. The production is also kinda mediocre. Song 6: Initially, I had this second to the last. But you should thank your lucky stars that I do a second (and even third) run of the songs and I liked this better now. I placed much higher than its original placement. If I had made this round, my entry would have been: Mistki - Geyser
touya kinomoto Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Catergory 3: Foreign Language Songs I was kinda disappointed to find out that these songs where in the languages I specifically named. I was expecting you'd kinda experiment in this round. But hey, it's the finale so I understand. Song 7: This is a slay. I expected y'all to send K-pop but you're the only one who went Korean. And it looked like you kinda analyzed my choice of K-pop songs. Great job! Song 8: This song does not do you any favor. Boring and basic production and cheesy lyrics. Song 9: The production was kinda intersting in the beginning. But every repeat of this song, I was losing interest with it and it slowly slipped down my ranking. If I had made this round, my entry would have been Sarah Geronimo - Kilometro
touya kinomoto Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Category 4: Winning Song My expectations for this was kinda high ngl and I was kinda disappointed. Song 10: You gotta thank nostalgia for me liking this quite a lot. Song 11: I had this originally ranked lower than Song 10. But when I took off my nostalgia glasses for the repeat listens, I realized this is a better choice. Song 12: I've said this before and I'll say it again. I really don't like her. This song didn't change my opinion of her. If I had made this round, my entry would have been Kio Priest - We'll Never Know because it's the last round and I want to send my current favorite song from a local artist.
touya kinomoto Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Honestly you all did quite good. Y'all are deserving to be where you are right now. Good luck ladies.
Yomaku Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 song 3 ewww the way the (fantastic) instrumental is murdered by this remix

bestfiction Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Song 2 - It's quite boring and the vocals are not that appealing. however, the melody is quite decent. Idk
Yomaku Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 aww i know and like song 11, it's a cute one! song 12
bestfiction Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 Song 3 - Lorde and HAIM on one track is what sells the song to me. I like it even though it's not as good as solo work by these two artists
bestfiction Posted April 6, 2019 Posted April 6, 2019 (edited) Song 4 - this is a quality bop. It kinda reminded me of my own entry in the acclaimed round ('What's It Gonna Be?' by Shura) which is not surprising given that both songs are produced by Greg Kurstin Edited April 6, 2019 by bestfiction
