Does anyone have the link to that tweet where someone's like "Tove Lo's unreleased song is TRAGIC!" or something and it's a girl that sounds eerily close to her going "I'VE GOT STDS...MAKE MY ***** ITCH"

a. Друг (Drug) feat. anna severnee - деньночь 

A bold decision, I can respect that. I'm not a huge fan of the vocals though

b. Everglow - Moon

Pretty cute, sounds a bit 2016'd but I don't mind it.

c. P!nk -  (Hey Why) Miss You Sometime

Not loving this :katie: sounds basic

d. Tove Lo - Stay Over

Not my favorite track from Sunshine Kitty but this is pretty good.

e. WJSN - You Got

Sounds campy and funky! I love it.

f. Red Velvet - LP

their music is so good omg, how I was sleeping on them for so long :jonny5: WAIT THE SAXOPHONE KICKED IN WE-

g. VÉRITÉ - body in my bed

this is cute but a bit boring to me

h. Tove Lo - Mateo

A better Tove Lo song x

i. Yeule - An Angel Held Me Like A Child

Ethereal, I think I liked it a bit?

 

j. Kelsey Lu - Poor Fake

oh wow, this is great. I love the violins.

k. Billie Eilish - i love you

Hm, not the best Billie deep cut

l. GFRIEND - Wish

Easily the worst k-pop song so far

m. Sigrid - basic

I really love this quirky Scandinavian vibe that she is serving

n. Twice - Trick It

I used to be a hater of them but their 2019 music was alright, this is cute.

o. Turnover - Number On The Gate

wow, a retro bop! loved it from the first seconds

Critiques @prézli

 

Group 1

Quote

COMMENT:

Друг (Drug) feat. anna severnee - деньночь - Is this in Russian? Anyway, this is risky and paid off. Very good.

P!nk -  (Hey Why) Miss You Sometime - We all know that Hurts 2B Human sucked balls in a wrong way, but this song reminds me of her early work. I see more personality in this than any of her other songs from the last decade.

Everglow - Moon - It doesn't really go anywhere, is just there. I don't think I'll remember it when I finish this group.

Tove Lo - Stay Over - It's good. An easy pop song.

WJSN - You Got - I like its funky vibe, but the rapping part could have been skipped.

Red Velvet - LP - Not a fan of this one. This sounds like a cheap latin pop from the late 90's made for a South American soap opera. Thalía is SHOOK.

VÉRITÉ - body in my bed - This is boring. Her voice is pleasant, but I hardly believe this would be her best album track.

Tove Lo - Mateo - I can't stand this song, I always skip it while listening to the album. The dubstep elements are cheap. I hate the way she says Mateo. It lacks every good thing.

Yeule - An Angel Held Me Like A Child - This is pure noise. Ehh... The last 1 minute is nearly amazing, that earned good points.

Kelsey Lu - Poor Fake - We love artists we didn't know before, whew. This is decent, but there are too many uuuuh's and ooooh's in it.

Billie Eilish - i love you - Pop Vocal Album nominee Miss Billie Eilish surprisingly delivers in here.

GFRIEND - Wish - Dance pop has just called me. He says he's dead since 2013.

Sigrid - basic - It's good. An easy pop song. [2]

Twice - Trick It - It's pure fun and really catchy.

Turnover - Number On The Gate - This is risky, but didn't pay off, unfortunately. It's too old-fashioned.

 

Group 2

Quote

LÉON - Pink - The first verse was flawless, but when it arrived to the chorus with the dreadful autotune, my face from this :smile: went to this :sad:.

Betty Who - All This Woman - The production is sassy and classy, but the chorus is too repetitive.

Red Velvet - In & Out - I hope the title is not about your appearance in the game, ddd. This song is better than their other one in the other group, but it's not too solid, still.

Miley Cyrus - Unholy - Horrible lyrics. I like the production, but it didn't have the chance to shine through her loud vocals.

Dido - Hell After This - I couldn't finish this album, but holy cow, this song surprised me a lot. It's not something you would expect from her, but it works!

Beyoncé - Crazy In Love (Homecoming Live) - I don't know what happened with her voice, but lately, she sounds like a heavy smoker. I love the song, of course, but this is kinda strange.

Céline Dion - The Hard Way - We love a record holder. The song sounds very basic. As she wants to stay in trend with these young folks, but fails.

Weyes Blood - Wild Time - It's everything but wild. Very theatrical. Very long. Very boring.

Weyes Blood - A Lot's Gonna Change - A lot's gonna change? Well, it's better than the previous song by her, but is still boring.

Kerli - Legends - Everything is in its right place! Love her vocals, love the instrumental, love the lyrics. A legend, indeed.

Self Esteem - I'm Shy - Were you serious? When the chorus arrived, my face was :isudumblmao:

Billie Eilish - my strange addiction - The speaking part is awful, but these video game elements sound good and the chorus is enough solid.

Sigrid - Never Mine - Okay, she snapped again. Why isn't she on Taylor Swift-level?

Miley Cyrus - The Most - It's very forgettable.

 

 

Also if you didn´t see it yet, the deadline for ranking the songs has been extended to wednesday 3PM EST!

Друг (Drug) feat. anna severnee - деньночь

interesting choice... it's very moody and I can appreciate it, but i wouldn't listen to this again x

 

everglow - moon

I hate kpop but production is nice I guess

 

p!nk - hey why

she's honestly a hit or miss for me, this one is a miss.

tove lo - stay over

we have to stan this QUEEN even if this is one of her weakest songs

 

wjsn - you got

uh another kpop song

 

red velvet - lp

so bad sdgdfhgdsf the annoying vocals, the bad production, sounds so cheesy without knowing even what they're saying

 

vertite - body in my bed

a cute song, but kinda wish it was more interesting 

 

tove lo - mateo 

okay a much better choice! mistaken and anywhere u go were right there tho

but will definitely be ranked high x

 

yeule - an angel held me like a child

okay wow this is beautiful. so dreamy

kinda reminds me of troye's animal in a way

 

kelsey lu - poor fake

not impressed but I guess it's not bad

 

billie eilish - i love you

one of her best for sure. beautiful song

 

gfriend - wish

probably the best kpop song sent so far! I actually like this

 

sigrid - basic

excellence

Navyofbadgals' critiques

 

GROUP 1 
 

Quote

 

a. Друг (Drug) feat. anna severnee - деньночь  

First of all I appreciate the risk :cm: I think it's quite risky to send something foreign, and esp Russian (?). And it's not your conventional pop song then either. I appreciate that. Some nice vocal moments here and love the moody/doomlike atmosphere. Think it drags a bit though

 

b. Everglow - Moon

It's okay. A pretty  solid pop song, that I wouldn't mind listening to again, but I also doubt I'm ever gonna look for it so :cm: 

 

c. P!nk -  (Hey Why) Miss You Sometime

The autotune on this is soo :rip: Those parts are eh, but the non-autotuned parts aren't bad at all. Better than I expected for a p!nk song (but not completely in love with this either)

 

d. Tove Lo - Stay Over

So real talk when I say that Sunshine Kitty was a disappointment :cm: this song in particular admittedly loses some steam with a rather lackluster chorus with too many unnecessary effects, but at the core of this is still a solid pop song. At the end of the day Tove is a great pop songwriter, and I think that shines more in the verses. It's okay at the end of the day

 

e. WJSN - You Got

Wait hol awn :eek: this is so fun and funky! I think the vocal mixing could've been better, if I can nitpick, but this is really a nice surprise. Good start :clap3:

 

f. Red Velvet - LP

Definitely getting nintendo games vibe from this :rip: on one hand I think it makes the song fun, but also think it cheapens it a bit. Wouldn't really replay it, but it was an interesting and fun listen. It's no Psycho

 

g. VÉRITÉ - body in my bed

God I completely forgot about this girl, didn't know she released an album in 2019. This is nice, and def makes me want to look for the album. It drags a bit at points, but this is a solid song!

 

h. Tove Lo - Mateo

A more solid pop song than the other Tove song, but still not as good as her older material :'( The pre-chorus (or the part before she sings mateo) is really neat

 

i. Yeule - An Angel Held Me Like A Child

hol awn ma'am.. this is really interesting and beautiful and we kinda had to stan on it! We love a good discovery

 

j. Kelsey Lu - Poor Fake

Best song of this group, and probably in my top 3 overall of this round :cm: The violins are stunning, it's a nice pop song, but is never basic or simple, and I love her somewhat campy delivery later on in the song. This is a song that never drags, has a great instrumental, has great vocal delivery and has replay value. The 1-2-3-4 punch

 

 

k. Billie Eilish - i love you

Really pretty and haunting song. I think that it also borders a bit on boring, if I'm gonna critique something here, but I like the song overall

 

l. GFRIEND - Wish

Feel like I've heard this type of song 10000x before :rip: I guess why fix what's not broken. I'm not over the moon on this but it's a fun pop song

 

m. Sigrid - basic

The reality that most of Sigrid's winworthy songs are her singles and her album tracks are so/so. This one ain't an exception. The title kinda fits. It's a fun chorus though. 

 

n. Twice - Trick It

Eh the rapping parts weren't necessary, and don't like the chorus that much either. I guess it has a good fun-factor, but this is no Fancy :cm: 

 

o. Turnover - Number On The Gate

Props for sending in something with a male singer. This is not awful. It's not really exciting either. It's.. just there? I'm missing a punch, and I don't really see how this risk could've ever paid off, but I like the idea :cm:

 

 

GROUP 2

Quote

A. LÉON - Pink

Léon really delivered a nice debut album. This is a nice cut from it. It's not my favorite thing ever, but there's nothing I really dislike about it so :cm: 

 

B.  Betty Who - All This Woman 

A.. really weak chorus :rip: The production lifts this up a bit, but I'm not in love.

 

C. Red Velvet - In & Out

A fun pop song :katie2: Better than LP imo (or at least more enjoyable)

 

D. Miley Cyrus - Unholy

It's no cattitude where it's offensively bad.. but this one is still a bad. Her delivery is a bit eh, the production is meh, the lyrics are meh. Didn't mean to bash you or your song.. but chile

 

E. Dido - Hell After This

Her delivery of 'after this', is really good jsjsjs. I don't like the song that much as a whole, think it's a bit over the place and the vocal mixing feels off. 

 

F. Beyoncé - Crazy In Love (Homecoming Live)

I mean.. you can't really go wrong with this :cm:  the part after 'drop it', switches it up a bit and gives the song a more modern flair.

 

G. Céline Dion - The Hard Way

Celine Dion’s newest album, “Courage,” made the wrong kind of history after the chart-topper became the quickest to fall out of the top 100, according to Chart Data. “She’s upset. All hell has broken loose,” a source told New York Post’s Page Six. “The only reason she sold 100,000 was because of the whole bundle thing that labels do, but she only sold around 3,000 the second week.” Sources tell the news outlet that Dion’s camp has become increasingly concerned with the influence her friend, backup dancer and creative director, Pepe Muñoz, has had over her career recently. Page Six reports sources close to the “My Heart Will Go On” singer claim Muñoz has isolated her while encouraging her to fire key members of her team.

(real talk her.. accent in this.. is a bit offputting tbh, it's not the worst song i've heard this round though, if that counts for sumn)

 

H. Weyes Blood - Wild Time

All the people trashing this when it's one of the best songs of the round easily :rip: hate f words it's insane. This is definitely a bagels' pleaser, but we're happy to see it. Not only are the lyrics stunning, the vocal delivery amazing, but the lyrics are also both current and timeless. Stunning ugh

 

I. Weyes Blood - A Lot's Gonna Change

And here we have a song that also gets bashed too much by the f words in here, and it's even funnier now because it's easily the best song of this group and of this round in general :cm: It's absolutely stunning, somewhat hopeful, somewhat frightening, in lyrics that can actually cut glass :clap3: Her vocal delivery on this is great, and the instrumental is just.. chef's kiss. You may not have picked a crowd pleaser, but I hope you know that you still picked the best song regardless, talent and quality rarely gets noticed, and this is one of those cases that people just.. don't understand the excellence. whew!!

 

J. Kerli - Legends

The production :thing: this sounds so dated, and not in a good way either. At least some dated songs have some sense of nostalgia.. but this has nothing of it. Also don't like the indie singer vocals here :rip: gonna pass on it kindly

 

K. Self Esteem - I'm Shy

Wanna applaud you for finding someone this unknown.. but this chorus pls.. this is.. bad. sorry :rip: I can't, I really can't.

 

L. Billie Eilish - my strange addiction

The better (or at least more enjoyable) billie song sent in this round. Love that she gave a nod to one of the best shows of all time too :cm: It's a fun and unique pop song

 

M. Sigrid - Never Mine

Undoubtedly the best album track on her new album. This is such a fun and well-constructed pop song. Good job :clap3:

 

N. Miley Cyrus - The Most

Better than the other miley song def. Not in love with it, it misses a bit of a punch/deserved a better chorus, but the potential is there. Vocal delivery pretty good here. 

 

 

:cm: thanks to everyone who already sent :cm: 

btw have decided to do 5 total eliminations this round, gotta chop chop chop (and it's what I heard the most, sorry to those who preferred 3 elims)
