MusicLoverDude Posted February 16, 2017 Posted February 16, 2017 OFF Asking Alexandria (I'm sorry but your essay is still weaker than the majority of the others) The Weeknd (I feel like you didn't connect enough as to why the song wanted you to comeback to the album every time) Hilary Duff (Honestly, I've always found My Kind to be pretty overrated and your essay was also weaker than the others as well) SAVE Ariana (it's hard to not get into DW when Into You is so addictive) Adele (really good essay and you explained your song choice very nicely)
lhdang2000 Posted February 17, 2017 Posted February 17, 2017 Thanks for the vote MLD. I'll try my best to cast my vote tomorrow, I'm listening halfway through the entry now. There's one song I really like already (check my best of).

shelven Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Just a general comment before I get into my votes: It feels as though a lot of people misinterpreted this round as "pick a song from your album that you're obsessed with", which is very different from "pick a song from your album that got you obsessed with your album." Most entires described their songs really well, but I thought a lot of people either neglected to talk about their album enough, or didn't talk about why THEY are obsessed with it personally. So that being said, even though a lot of entires were very well written, the ones I saved were the ones I believe best understood the theme of the round. OFF: Asking Alexandria: I wish I didn't have to vote you off again because I know that you're enjoying this game and that you're genuinely trying, but if I'm being completely honest, I really think you misunderstood this round You spent most of your essay explaining why most people would like the song, but the task was to explain why YOU'RE obsessed with the song. You also didn't really connect your song to your album, which was another requirement of the round. If you make it to the next round, I would suggest reading Pedro's round explanations more carefully before doing your entries - particularly the bolded parts. The Weeknd: I actually thought your explanation for why you like the song was pretty good, but I felt like the tie-in to your album and why this song got you chained to it was missing. You basically limited your explanation to "when I listen to the album, I really look forward to this song", which feels more like you just repeating what the task was asking you to do, as opposed to actually answering it. Adele: My criticism of your entry is similar to what I said for Speezy's - I thought you did a great job telling us why the song's a good song, but there was very little connection to your album. The fact that it's the second song on the album and therefore builds anticipation didn't really sell me as a reason for why the song would get you obsessed with the entire album, since it doesn't actually take the rest of the album into account. SAVE: Ariana Grande: I thought you did a perfect job at balancing your explanation for why this song had such an impact on you, as well as why it led to you getting obsessed with Dangerous Woman as a whole. It felt like you were one of the few people this round that understood that the song you submitted was supposed to be a gateway for why you liked the full album, instead of simply praising the song. Kelly Clarkson: I like the way you immediately addressed the challenge, talking about what this album was about and why you felt this song was a good representation of the qualities you're looking for in the album. Your explanation felt a lot more convincing than many others', and I liked the balance you took between discussing why you personally got obsessed with the song and the album by extension, and a more general look as to why the song is a good link to the positive qualities of the album. Honourable mentions: Halsey (I'm in love with the way you write Just thought you didn't link the song to your obsession with the album as well as the two entries I saved did); Samantha Jade (A very nice improvement from last week ); Robyn (extremely well-written and detailed as usual, but I thought you were lacking a bit in terms of the personal aspect - I wanted to know why YOU were obsessed with the song/album) Edited February 18, 2017 by shelven

sumthintoxic82 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 This was a surprise round, because I actually REALLY enjoyed every song here...So the write ups REALLY played a huge role for me this round... Save: Robyn - I love your write up Ariana - I mean, its one of my FAVS, BUT you BARELY made it for me for the save, I just feel like your write up could have been..fleshed out a bit more, but the song Honorable Mention: Samanthan Jade - This song was REALLY great. I think if it was explained a bit more for me, you would have taken Ariana's spot... Off: Asking Alexandra - Im sorry marine ESPECIALLY since I actually REALLY like this song it came down to your essay for me Troye Sivan - Great write up about the song, but the tie in to the album wasnt explained well enough for me The Weekend - This hurts, and I LOVE this track, but going off you write up, you really didnt tie it to your album.
Lion Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 save: -Robyn -Halsey Off: -Hilary Duff -Asking Alexandria -Samantha Jade
Pedro Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Deadline tomorrow. Please don't miss it! @Speezy Judges! @Kavish, @Inner Insanity, @Lazuli Edited February 19, 2017 by Pedro
borntodieee Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 off Robyn (really well-written, but it was too technical, lacking emotion/personal connection for me) Asking Alexandria (you wrote about how this was the most likable/mainstream song but not how it made you personally check out the album) Adele (I couldn't see the connection how this song made you want to check out the album) save Conchita Ariana
lhdang2000 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Well, I didn't expect that much. OFF. 1. Asking Alexandra: After the last round, you received a lot of criticisms and you gave reasons for that. For this week, you have improved, but I expect more from you, especially since you need to prove why you deserve to be here more than anyone else currently. 2. Hilary Duff: I can feel the write-up, however, the song choice is definitely not my cup of tea. To me, the track does not make me want to listen to the album. It's kind of personal taste in music problem, but I'm still appreciate your essay. 3. Troye Sivan: The thing about you is that, you are playing too safe. That's why I vote you off this week. Last week and this week to me, there's not much different in your performance and they're both kinda forgettable for me. SAVE. 1. Ariana Grande: Where was this flawless song choice last week? This week, you manage to fill what you were lacking and that already impresses me, keep up with the work. 2. Samantha Jade: You made me believe the save vote last round I gave you were a correct decision. Personally to me, you are one of the one-to-beat in this competition and you proved it.
