Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On too easy of a choice but it's a good classic E. Fergie - Big Girls Dont Cry boring department store music but it's calming and nice F.

touya kinomoto Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 @Navyofbadgals PM me the names of those who will give Mitski, Joji and Ellie bad rankings. They must be served justice.

Staryu Posted March 17, 2020 Posted March 17, 2020 A. No Doubt - Don't Speak A classic, my favorite No Doubt song 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 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
rl231 Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 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 . 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.
clue Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 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

miguel Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 CRITIQUES No Doubt - Don't Speak this is ok, it's not doing much for me but i don't hate it either Joji - Slow Dancing In The Dark cute, i guess Mitski - Nobody issa no from me. the disco production is so damn tragic Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On ahhhhhh, an asbolute CLASSIC Fergie - Big Girls Don't Cry ahhh, another classic. very cute, great entry! Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song it's fine ig Ellie Goulding - Dead In The Water a very beautiful song, love it sm, whew The Weeknd - After Hours ahhhh, yessss, this song is IT. Stream After Hours on Friday!!!! ---- step it up, this round wasn't it, y'all failed on making me want to cry, losers Spoiler @Element @rl231 @Staryu @Clueless @thecptz @Alena @Touch It @shelven
touya kinomoto Posted March 18, 2020 Posted March 18, 2020 (edited) 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 Spoiler @Element @rl231 @Staryu @Clueless @thecptz @Alena @Touch It @shelven @Navyofbadgals Edited March 18, 2020 by touya kinomoto

ATRL Moderator Element Posted March 19, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted March 19, 2020 A. No Doubt - Don't Speak - this is such a classic but i also don't rly find it that sad B. Joji - Slow Dancing In The Dark - i listened to this a few times and it grew on me each listen. v interesting choice C. Mitski - Nobody - never heard this before and it's quite unique! i think we stan a bit D. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On - obvious choice E. Fergie - Big Girls Dont Cry - a 2000s classique but tbh it feels very ~uplifting~ in a way F. Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song - the chorus is such a memorable one in both this version and the original. nice choice 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
ATRL Moderator Element Posted March 19, 2020 ATRL Moderator Posted March 19, 2020 kind of deceased at like none of these songs being sonically depressing
thecptz Posted March 19, 2020 Posted March 19, 2020 A. No Doubt - Don't Speak its a classic karaoke song. i think this is cute, like v middle of the pack for me. in the end, it gets v annoying sorry B. Joji - Slow Dancing In The Dark the instrumental is so beautiful and the 'you should be with him, i can't compete' line... whew i'm broken C. Mitski - Nobody yas a 1-2 punch i'm sobbing! D. Celine Dion - My Heart Will Go On def a classic. i dont care if its too easy or not, its still so great. E. Fergie - Big Girls Dont Cry yeah issa classic but i dont think its that sad the bridge tho whew!!! F. Fugees - Killing Me Softly With His Song its okay tbh not that bad but a bit boring G.
