Also, I am a bit confused as to why people are talking about/voting based on sonic diversity when the question didn't really ask for it?

Well the reason I did it was because the whole round was about proving your album has diversity as a whole, and in my opinion, diversity is found in both the lyrics/message and the sound. Two songs can have completely different messages, but if they sound exactly the same, then I haven't been convinced that the album is diverse, which was ultimately the point of this round. Also, I think a song's production and sound contributes to whether or not it's a dance song or a love song. Even Pedro's first paragraph of the round description refers to instruments.

During this fifth round, there will be surprises on the points distribution again. Due to the fact the contestants sent not one but two songs, the top three will receive more points (both in the judges votes and in the public vote). Here's the changes:

 

1st place gets not 17 but 25 points;

2nd place gets not 15 but 21 points;

3rd place gets not 13 but 17 points.

 

The remaining five will get the same amount. There will obviously be bigger disparities in the chart. Don't worry. The contestants who ranked lower this round and the previous round will have a final chance at shinning and collecting extra points to catch up with the leaders. More info will be delivered in the soon.

ATRL's original game "Choose The Album, Then a Song" is back for its anticipated ninth season on its original concept.

 

A new round always means a new elimination show and so here we are reunited to know who will be leaving the game next. This was a very strong round and once more you had to send in two songs which always increases the difficulty of the round... Thankfully, you pulled it off!

 

We are about to know who's leaving and who's staying but first here's our judges!

Looking good, girls! Now that you've taken your position, let's review the voting rules along with the respective updates, shall we?

 

rules.png

 

1. The voting process is dived into two parts: the public vote and the judges votes;

Each of these parts account for 50% of the results.

2. Each contestant that didn't cast a vote will be deducted 30% of his/her final result;

The 30% discount can be translated into less 5 points.

3. The judges have rated each entry from 1 to 10;

All of the judges votes are then summed and we get to an average.

4. Your results are cumulative from the points you receive eachround;

5. During the voting process there may be ties. Find below the rules to break them:

5.1. If there is a tie wiithin the public vote, the entry with the best result within the judges votes gets ahead;

5.2. If there is a tie within the judges votes, the entry with the best result within the public vote gets ahead;

5.3. If there is a tie within the final results, the entry with the best result within the judges vote gets ahead.

6. The points distribution have changed in order to decrease expected events.

1st Place: 25 Points | 2nd Place: 21 Points | 3rd Place: 17 Points | 4th Place: 12 Points | 5th Place: 11 Points (...) 8th Place: 8 Points.

Spoiler
Music focuses on two main things: dance and love. This round does too. We don't need a bunch of synthesizers and electric guitars to dance just like we don't need a sad piano or violin to love. On top of that, no one wants to listen to an album filled with romantic songs or to an album filled with club bangers.
 
If last round you were supposed to send in songs that were opposed to each others, this round you're supposed to send in two songs that prove the album's diversity by showing us that your artist knows how to love (in any sort of way - heartbreak, passion...) and how to have fun (in any sort of way - clubbing, sex...).

PEDRO

 

1. shelven: Sia - "This Is Acting": 'Move Your Body' || 'Midnight Decisions'

 

8,7

 

I can’t believe you had 301 words again! That’s not a big deal though, so don’t worry. When it comes to your entry, I must say I wasn’t as blown away as last time... You truly nailed it during that round! With that being said I don’t want you to think I didn’t appreciate your entry this round as I truly did. At the end of the day you respected the challenge but I have to admit there was a lot of focus on the two songs and Sia’s personal life which made you leave the explanation of the album’s diversity a little behind even though I know it was implicit. And even though I adore that comparison with being an actor, I believe it also stole content of your essay.

 

2. MusicLoverDude: Samantha Jade - "Nine": 'Shake That (feat. Pitbull)' || 'What You Want'

 

7,6

 

I wasn’t yet convinced... While I adored your conclusion as it contained an amazing summary and proved the album’s diversity, I wasn’t too impressed with how you explained the songs chosen. The words and expressions used weren’t as great as I would expect, it gave me the idea that more than present the songs, you were trying to force them on me. That hurt your essay when it comes to explaining the songs and then again relating them to the album’s diversity. Nonetheless, far from a bad entry and it amazes me to see how much you’ve developed!

 

3. Rihlana: Halsey - "Badlands": 'Roman Holiday' || 'Colors'

 

10

 

That was brilliant! I enjoyed every bit of your essay. What convinced me at 100% was how impersonal it came across and how you focused not only in the lyrics of the songs but how the instrumentals are perceived. That impersonality made it so clear and ended up proving the album’s diversity as well!


 

4. theycallmemaraj: Ariana Grande - "Dangerous Woman": 'Moonlight' || 'Focus'

 

8,35

 

When you said the entry was rushed… I can tell but lucky you, you didn’t suck! I kind of like your informal way of writing because it comes off as natural and kind of convinces me of your choices. While you focused mainly on explaining the two songs and kind of leaving behind the album’s diversity, I believe you did a good job overall.

 

5. sumthintoxic82: Kelly Clarkson - "Piece By Piece": 'Bad Reputation' || 'Dance With Me'

 

5,35

 

“Bad Reputation” is one of the best songs in “Piece By Piece”... Sorry, I had to say it. Anyway! I did appreciate your essay overall but I am afraid the essay didn’t reflect at 100% what the round was about. I happen to know your album and I know for a fact you had way better love songs to choose. I actually don’t even see “Bad Reputation” in those terms. With this being said, your final conclusion correlated love with dance and I am afraid that wasn’t asked. Instead, you could’ve explained more the album’s diversity.

 

6. Queen Conchita: Conchita Wurst - "Conchita": 'Colours Of Your Love' || 'Out Of Body Experience'

 

10

 

I am impressed! You conquered me. At first, when I saw your entry, I was like: “Where’s ‘Firestorm’?” but after reading it I was sold! You completely understood the meaning of the challenge and throughout the essay you mentioned other styles and songs from the album proving its diversity. Perfecto!

 

7. Speezy: The Weeknd - "Starboy": 'Die For You' || 'Party Monster'

 

5

 

I feel like you have finally put more effort into your essay this time and I do appreciate it. Nonetheless, I wasn’t very impressed with your essay overall. I feel like you simply explained the meaning of the songs with some references to its sounds. It lacked connection to the album itself and if I am honest the songs aren’t that different overall. “Die For You” is not deep.

 

8. lhdang2000: Adele - "25": 'Can't Let Go' || 'Water Under The Bridge'

 

7,45


You didn’t deliver a bad essay but you missed on one part: the album diversity. You explained the songs flawlessly and that gave you the majority of your points but the album’s diversity was transformed into Adele’s life and I wanted more evidence of that with practical examples.

 

Spoiler

LAZULI

 

1. shelven: Sia - "This Is Acting": ‘Move Your Body’, ‘Midnight Decisions’ – 10/10

 

Once again, perfect entry. You explained each song well (though I would’ve liked if you explained the latter song as thoroughly as the former) and you tied them up perfectly in the last paragraph with the “acting” theme.

 

2. MusicLoverDude: Samantha Jade - "Nine": ‘Shake That (feat. Pitbull)’, ‘What You Want’ – 9/10

 

Both songs fit the theme very well and you explained that pretty well too. You tried to tie them together at the end too and it was nice.

 

3. Rihlana: Halsey - "Badlands": ‘Roman Holiday’, ‘Colors’ – 9/10

 

“Colors” was explained perfectly, however “Roman Holiday” is a little more sketchy but I think you sold it well. The only qualm I have is the way you tie up the entry / talk about the album’s diversity – it’s just not as convincing as some others.

 

4. theycallmemaraj: Ariana Grande - "Dangerous Woman": ‘Moonlight’, ‘Focus’ – 8/10

 

You described “Moonlight” very very well, but I’m not fully sold as to why “Focus” is the dance track of the album. Also, the reasoning about the album’s diversity was lacking.

 

5. sumthintoxic82: Kelly Clarkson - "Piece By Piece": ‘Bad Reputation’, ‘Dance With Me’ – 9.5/10

 

I feel like both of the songs can be explained better, but I liked the way you called “Bad Reputation” an unconventional love song (because I didn’t know it was one until today) and I guess “Dance With Me” speaks for itself anyway. That last paragraph however, is perfect and sells your essay wonderfully.

 

6. Queen Conchita: Conchita Wurst - "Conchita": ‘Colours of Your Love’, ‘Out of Body Experience’ – 7.5/10

 

I guess “Colours” sorta speaks for itself as a dance song, but I wish the description for the song wasn’t so technical and focused on the production only. “Out” also needed to fleshed out more about why it’s a love song, other than just saying it’s a sexual song.

 

7. Speezy: The Weeknd - "Starboy": ‘Die For You’, ‘Party Monster’ – 7/10

 

Thank god you finally got your **** together Speezy. You explained each song fine enough I guess, though you could still further refine it. The conclusion / explaining the album’s diversity needs improvement too.

 

 

 

8. lhdang2000: Adele - "25": ‘Can’t Let Go’, ‘Water Under the Bridge’ – 6/10

 

You did not just call WUTB a “fun” song. :rip: “Can’t” was fine, but “Water” was a total letdown because you didn’t explain why it’s a “dancey” song.

KAVISH

 

10 | shelven: Sia - "This Is Acting": 'Move Your Body' || 'Midnight Decisions'

 

 

Like last round, this is another cohesive addition to all the essays that you have presented so far. Instead of just describing the dance and love songs to show the diversity of This Is Acting, you centered your essay around Sia's role as an actor to portray how she must put on different masks. The theme of diversity was strongly apparent from the first line to the last, and unlike most contestants, you did not simply describe the songs and concluded with 'this is why the album is diverse.' You managed to gel your artist, the album, and those two songs together into a story that answers the task at hand.

 

 

 

9.0 MusicLoverDude: Samantha Jade - "Nine": 'Shake That (feat. Pitbull)' || 'What You Want'

 

 

The theme of diversity was prevalent in your essay, using a track that you used in Round 2 alongside the two chosen songs to showcase how Samantha can touch on different aspects. While I appreciate the fact that you used Show Me Love as a tool, the double mention of it felt a bit too much and you could have been more subtle with it while focusing mainly on the two songs at hand. Most importantly though, at the end of your essay, you convincingly portrayed Nine as a diverse album, which was the underlying point of the challenge besides sending a love and dance track.


 

 

8.0 Rihlana: Halsey - "Badlands": 'Roman Holiday' || 'Colors'

 

You understood that it was not necessary to send a conventional dance and love song, and that it was up to your own interpretation. While you successfully contrasted the two songs to show the diversity of Badlands, the justification that Colors is indeed a love song felt misplaced. You already made this point in your introduction, so you should have just rolled with it in the body of your essay and sell it convincingly. The major focus of your essay was also on those two songs, but I think that you could have penned a bit about the album as well instead of just attaching the two tracks to it to prove its diversity.

 

 

 

7.5 | Queen Conchita: Conchita Wurst - "Conchita": 'Colours Of Your Love' || 'Out Of Body Experience'

 

The contrast of those two songs was nicely written, and I like how you mentioned other tracks from the album to further prove Conchita's diversity. My main issue however, is that you focused mainly on the two songs and connected them to the album to show that it is diverse, but you did not write about the album itself.

 

 

 

6.0 | sumthintoxic82: Kelly Clarkson - "Piece By Piece": 'Bad Reputation' || 'Dance With Me'

 

 

Your 'love' paragraph was nicely explained and it was a personal-to-Kelly approach, but your 'dance' paragraph suddenly veered towards a general direction with no association to Kelly. The two tracks do differ, but this presentation makes your essay feel a bit disconnected. Also, you associated them to Piece by Piece to show that it is a diverse album, but you did not really write about the album itself. The conclusion felt a bit confusing too, because you drew a thin line between the diversity and cohesiveness of the album, when the challenge was mostly about the diverse aspect only.

 

 

 

5.9 | Speezy: The Weeknd - "Starboy": 'Die For You' || 'Party Monster'

 

 

The "I’m actually laughing because there’s tracks on this album that’s about love that carries an upbeat production" line makes me think that you did not understand that it was not necessary to send a conventional love and dance track. Anyway, you did send two songs that differ from each other and nicely showed Starboy's diversity in this respect. However, despite the 'fun' aspect was part of the requirement, it should have been written in a 'dance' perspective and your description for Party Monster mainly focused on the 'partying.' Your essay also felt anti-climatic, with no conclusion and mention of the album and how the songs are magnetized onto it.

 

 

 

5.0 theycallmemaraj: Ariana Grande - "Dangerous Woman": 'Moonlight' || 'Focus' 

 

 

The second paragraph is exactly what you did last round and I Iambasted you for that. You should start writing with Ariana's perspective and if you are being general, then try not to make subjective points like 'this is .. a perfect love song' or 'the harmonies kick in and you feel warm inside as you can relate to every line Ariana is singing.' Most importantly, the challenge was clear on the fact the theme of love and dance are up to your own interpretation, so there is not really a perfect love song in accordance to this round. You nicely showcased how the two songs differ in nature, but your paragraph for Focus only focused on its 'fun' content – which was a requirement for this round, but the main notion was to write it with the 'dance' perspective, and you did not. Also, you mentioned how the two songs on Dangerous Woman prove that it is a diverse album, but you did not talk enough about the album itself.

 

 

 

3.0 | lhdang2000: Adele - "25": 'Can't Let Go' || 'Water Under The Bridge'

 

 

I understand what you were trying to accomplish here, but both paragraphs read like the same story with a different arch and emotion attached to it. Your Water Under the Bridge description focused mostly on the relationship aspect – something that you already did with the 'love' paragraph, and you did not write enough about its fun and dance characteristic. I know that all songs on 25 are about relationships, but this was your challenge to make the song a dance one. You could have written about how its instrumental oozes a more upbeat and positive vibe as opposed to the typical ballad song like Can't Let Go and how it makes one want to move, but your essay reads as one cohesive block of text because you did not succeed in letting go of the bridge that binds them together.

1. shelven: Sia - "This Is Acting": 'Move Your Body' || 'Midnight Decisions'

 

9.0/10

 

First of all, let me commend you for an excellent essay. You have clearly justified your song choice and linked them to what the album is all about. Secondly, although these songs are not particularly appealing to me on my first listen, they have sort of grown on me while reading your essay. Nevertheless, Move Your Body and Midnight Decisions show the diversity of Sia’s album and I think you did a very good in dissecting each of your entries and expounding the correlation to the album theme.

 

 

 

2. MusicLoverDude: Samantha Jade - "Nine": 'Shake That (feat. Pitbull)' || 'What You Want'

 

6.5/10

 

I don’t know how to feel about “Shake That”. It’s just another mindless dance track and the essay didn’t change my mind. What You Want on the other hand is another story. The song is really nice and the vocals sound intimate and I agree with the point you made about it clearly being about someone she adores. You can hear it in the song. The essay could have carried the album a notch higher this round but it just seemed somewhat weak and the explanation as to why Nine is a diverse album didn’t convince me.  L

 

3. Rihlana: Halsey - "Badlands": 'Roman Holiday' || 'Colors'

 

10/10

 

The first time I listened to Badlands was during its release week and I remember not being impressed to give it a 2nd listen. So I am quite surprised at how good Roman Holiday and Colors are. With an alternative album, one would expect it to do poorly on a round asking for a dance song but you somehow pulled through. Oddly enough I found Roman Holiday working out as something that could evoke emotions to make someone dance in joy. Like what Pedro said in his introduction, you don’t need the usual production elements that are usually found on dance tracks to dance and this is one perfect example. Colors is an outstanding track and you have successfully pointed out why this is so. Essay and song choices: Both excellent.

 

4. theycallmemaraj: Ariana Grande - "Dangerous Woman": 'Moonlight' || 'Focus'

 

6/10

 

Song choices are good and show that Dangerous Woman is indeed a diverse and a great album however, the essay didn’t elaborate this fact but I’m giving you a decent mark for choosing Moonlight which is an outstanding track.

 

5. sumthintoxic82: Kelly Clarkson - "Piece By Piece": 'Bad Reputation' || 'Dance With Me'

 

6.5/10

 

Dance With Me sounds so euphoric and let me borrow your term therapeutic. There’s an urgency in her voice that would make you just drop everything and follow her to the dance floor and just be free. With DWM, you can immediately identify it as a dance track, with Bad Reputation however, it’s not instantaneous, you have to focus on the lyrics to get it which kind of ruined it for me. I was looking for that feeling but it never came. I guess the production is just too strong. I liked your essay though and you have made several valid points.

 

6. Queen Conchita: Conchita Wurst - "Conchita": 'Colours Of Your Love' || 'Out Of Body Experience'

 

6/10

 

I must admit that this is the first time I came across this particular artist and I agree that these two songs are polar opposites in nature yet you can still hear similar elements signifying that the album is diverse and cohesive at the same time. The EDM drop on Colours Of Love was a nice surprise but Out of Body experience didn’t really came off as a love song to me. I feel like another song from an album could have taken its place instead.

 

7. Speezy: The Weeknd - "Starboy": 'Die For You' || 'Party Monster'

 

5.5/10

 

Starboy is one of my favorite albums to come out last year and I know every track on it. I must say that I’m honestly disappointed with the song choices. There are far superior songs you could have picked that would have ensured a win on this round. The essay didn’t elaborate on the diversity either.

 

8. lhdang2000: Adele - "25": 'Can't Let Go' || 'Water Under The Bridge'

 

5/10

 

I was pleasantly surprised when I listened to Water Under The bridge. It was the first time I listened to this track and it’s really nice and all but I wouldn’t classify this as something that would make someone dance let alone pass as a dance song. Can’t Let Go is a love song through and through. Classic Adele, with the piano and heart-breaking vocals. You said that this is the most diverse album Adele put out but you only have 2 previous albums to compare it with and that doesn’t make it diverse. I found these tracks typical Adele and the essay didn’t convince me of its diversity.

I mean, I do understand people saying Water Under The Bridge not a dance song, but looking back in 25, there's no such song called 'dance' song. :rip:

 

But eh.. I tried. :)

Although Pedro, I think there might be something wrong with the word counter you're using - I was paranoid because of last round, so I checked the word count of my entry twice this time and even counted the words manually to make sure it was at 300 this time :toofunny2:

Yeah I figured you didn't discount anything, I just wanted to point it out :laugh: Anyways I actually put my entry in here before I submitted it too, and I found out that it seems to be counting the hyphen towards the end of the essay as a "word".

@shelven absolutely shattering that gap in first place :jonny: 

The gap between me and @Rihlana being only two points :jonny:

All of us being the Top 3 both in the round and in general though :clap3:

 

I'm ok with not being first, because it's definitely a challenge to live up to a round like last round where I managed to be first place. But I'm glad I at least am holding strong. 

@Pedro - Man, it's really hard to impress you past an 8 this season. My strongest two rounds have been in like the 7.5 areas, or 7.8 at least. Or I could be wrong.

@Lazuli - Thanks for the 9, though I can sense the backhanded shade with the use of the word try when it came to my concluding sentence

@Kavish - Thanks for the score. The goal of mentioning one of my past entries was to tie it in to the songs this round and keep up the continuity.

@castle13 - Kinda harsh. But ok. you do you.

 

thanks for the saves Shell, Rih and @theycallmemaraj

Well the reason I did it was because the whole round was about proving your album has diversity as a whole, and in my opinion, diversity is found in both the lyrics/message and the sound. Two songs can have completely different messages, but if they sound exactly the same, then I haven't been convinced that the album is diverse, which was ultimately the point of this round. Also, I think a song's production and sound contributes to whether or not it's a dance song or a love song. Even Pedro's first paragraph of the round description refers to instruments.

This round is about diversity, yes, but it's more of about thematic diversity than sonic diversity - we focused more on that last round. Yes, a song's production does contribute, but a love song can also be an uptempo song, that's mainly what I felt towards people voting off Kelly. And, Pedro's first paragraph actually talks more about not needing certain instruments to feel love/to dance. 

 

@Pedro Did I submit that outfit? :huh: I thought I sent something else.

 

@MusicLoverDude nn that wasn't shade. :toofunny2: I used the word "try" to mean that though you did address that point, it wasn't done perfectly.

Halsey: Ugh, I hate that I have to do this because you know how much I adore your writing style and essays :chick3: I thought your write-up was very strong as usual, but my criticism is the same as the one I gave for sumthintoxic - I just thought the songs weren't diverse enough sonically. I agree that Roman Holiday was definitely your best choice for the dance track, but there are a lot of darker or moodier sounding songs on Badlands that you could have used for the love track that would have contrasted with Roman Holiday a lot more than Colors does. As I said in sumthintoxic's criticism, normally your essay alone would have been enough for me to ignore that, but this round was simply too tight for me to overlook it.

No stress man! Thanks for the feedback. I didn't focus too much on the sonic diversity because I didn't think it was particularly relevant this round BUT having said that, every entry was so strong that even one of my OFF votes was because of the fact that the songs were a bit too similar sounding.

 

Again, my entry was divisive. I'll win you back public :fan: And thank you judges for the great score!
