@Navyofbadgals PM me the names of those who will give Mitski, Joji and Ellie bad rankings. They must be served justice.

A. No Doubt - Don't Speak

A classic, my favorite No Doubt song :heart2: 

 

B. Joji - Slow Dancing In The Dark

Hmm, this is an interesting choice, it's not terrible.

 

C. Mitski - Nobody

This is cute.

 

D. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

Another classic tbh

 

E. Fergie - Big Girls Dont Cry

Love this song :weeps: Fergie did that

 

F. Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song

Lauryn Hill did thaT, my mom stanned this when I was a kid so I love it 

 

G. Ellie Goulding - Dead In The Water

Ellie sis, this one of her songs I barely listen to b/c it's so boring 

 

H. The Weeknd - After Hours

A slay but I like his other 2 songs from this era better tbh 

Posted

A. No Doubt - Don't Speak

Honestly, one of my favorite songs of all time. Does it makes me cry? Not really, but still a ****ing great song that's sad.

 

B. Joji - Slow Dancing In The Dark

The verses are okay, but the chorus absolutely HITS.

 

C. Mitski - Nobody

Holy crap, this song is BEYOND depressing and underratingly so, love it.

 

D. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

Idk why I get this song confused with The Power of Love :rip:.  It's very good, I don't feel like crying, but it's still good.

 

E. Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry

The "power through you'll get past this" song. It's a classic, so I'm cool with it. Does it do well against the others? No clue.

 

F. Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song

This one is definitely sad, but I feel like the production actually takes away from the sorrow, but lyrically, it's there so idk.

 

G. Ellie Goulding - Dead In The Water

Not my first choice on Halcyon BUT a very great choice. Heartbreaker, and a killer climax.

Also @Navyofbadgals, this is the right version (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y3sd0qNa40U). The version you have is pitched up.

 

 

H. The Weeknd - After Hours

I love this song, but I'm honestly unsure if it's truly a sad song vs. a reflection of his past transgressions and wanting reconciliation.

Posted

A. No Doubt - Don't Speak – A cute song.

 

B. Joji - Slow Dancing in the Dark – I've never listened to Joji's music, but this was cute.

 

C. Mitski - Nobody – I have always hated this song tbh. It's so cringe to me. The disco sound feels forced. Am sorry.

 

D. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On – A classic ofc, but it's not that great of a song.

 

E. Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry – Cute for a sing-a-long moment.

 

F. Fugees - Killing Me Softly with His Song – Absolute classic. Such a beautiful song.

 

G. Ellie Goulding - Dead in the Water – I've always liked this. A cute ballad.

 

H. The Weeknd - After Hours – Song of the year? Yeah

TOUYA'S CRITIQUES

No Doubt - Don't Speak

it's a classic. but for me, it's one of those classic karaoke staples that i really don't give too much attention to.

 

Joji - Slow Dancing In The Dark

yes joji yes sadness. great job!

 

Mitski - Nobody

anyone who hates on mitski and this masterpiece is clearly tasteless. i have to agree with bagels, this is the best entry of the season. i am a sucker for those japanese-disco/pop inspired songs like this and her and caroline polachek do this so so so so so so well. congratulations on winning the round.

 

Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On

 a classic but an overrated one. celine has better sad songs than this one.

 

Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry

oh wow, a classic again. tbh i always have had a love hate relationship with this song. but i still like it for the round nonetheless. you could have sent in fergie's version of the national anthem. that's a sad one.

 

Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song

woo another classic. the original outsold tho.

 

Ellie Goulding - Dead In The Water

hauntingly beautiful.

 

The Weeknd - After Hours

blinding lights ha little sister. good one but blinding lights is still my fave

C. Mitski - Nobody - never heard this before and it's quite unique! i think we stan a bit

E. Fergie - Big Girls Dont Cry - a 2000s classique but tbh it feels very ~uplifting~ in a way

G. Ellie Goulding - Dead In The Water - drowning in tears tbh. 

 

H. The Weeknd - After Hours - this song is a lot to digest. v risky sending something 6 minutes long tbh
