Oh my God, I can't believe Demi beat Taylor :eek: 

 

I was so sure that All Too Well performance will be submitted - and it's an amazing performance!

 

I would have thought of submitting Anyone live at the Grammys, but some may feel it's too shouty (and the song's not well-loved), so I took a risk with the one I sent. Thank God it paid off!

 

Now let's do this seasons round! Thanks judges for another chance! :duca:

SPRING

Spoiler

 

thecptz - Kacey Musgraves - “Oh, What a World”

Quote

for spring, i decided to go with *oh, what a world*. spring is beautiful. the flowers are blooming. and this song's vibe is just beautiful. kacey appreciates the beauty of the world when its at the most beautiful in spring. ?

 

Alena - HyunA - “FLOWER POWER”

Quote

i picked Flower Shower as my entry for springbecause the song's lyrics play with Flowers alot and spring is the season that flowers begin to bloom x
also i feel like the sound of the song is literally perfect for a beautiful spring day x

 

 

SUMMER

Spoiler

 

Touch It - Ariana Grande - “Side To Side”

Quote

side to side for summer because its something fun something for the summertime something for the girls to get ready and party to

 

EriKills - Rihanna - “Work”

Quote

Rihanna’s mumbling and rambling esque lyrics emulates the carefree essence of summer, but also has some reminiscent lyrics for those late summer nights. Summer is often the time to go on vacay getaways, and Work’s dancehall and reggae production along with Rihanna’s strong Barbados accent throughout the song captures the summer island/tropical vibes. And, Work fts masc rapper Drake, making this universal for every person to bop to. Work is truly a summer bop playlist STAPLE!!!

 

kiiwii - Katy Perry - “California Gurls”

Quote

This was a very obvious choice. The title and lyrics paint an image of being at a Californian beach on a hot summer’s day. One where lounging in the sun, frolicking in the water, and carefree flirting is taking place on the white sandy shore.

 

Noah - Lorde - “Homemade Dynamite”

Quote

I have chosen Homemade Dynamite for summer because it's a fun carefree party song about being young and reckless which are characteristics associated with summer. The lyrics, such as "a couple rebel top gun pilots flying with nowhere to be" and "our rules, our dreams, we're blind," emphasize the themes of living in the moment, being free of responsibilities, and letting go of all inhibitions.

 

Staryu - Nicki Minaj - “Hot Girl Summer”

Quote

Hot Girl Summer is a summer song, it's in the title, and the entire song is about having fun and looking good during summertime.
The song embodies a summer where you are in charge of your own happiness. Just chase the bag and we ain’t crying over no man PERIODt.

 

Not Like The Movies - Alicia Keys - “In Common”

Quote

This song is a very chilll and groovy bop with a Caribbean/latin type of beat which adds to the summery feel. You can be relaxing with some friends or having fun at a party when this bop comes on. It is very fitting for the summer as it is one of those chill rnb infused songs you can relax and have fun to. The song was also added to various summer rnb playlists. 

 

Dessy - Janelle Monáe - “Make Me Feel”

Quote

I choose this song to represent summer cause we tend to link "danceable" music to the feel of Summer. Funk music in general have this feel and the lyrics and production of the song just come together really well. 

 

icy - Miguel - “Pineapple Skies”

Quote

a summery love song about having hope that everything will be alright + interpolates sexual healing by marvin gaye, simplistic and straight to the point. what more could you want?

 

Sabbath - Marina - “Orange Trees”

Quote

Orange Trees is a cute and fresh tropical song that fits perfectly with the light and fun vibes of the summer. 

 

The song talks about how Marina enjoys her time at the beach in Greece and paints a picture of a perfect day during this season.

 

A song to lay in the beach or by the pool and relax without a care in the world, enjoying being alive!

 

Summer production ✔︎

Summer lyrics ✔︎

Summer vibe ✔︎

 

Mr. Duff - Demi Lovato - “Cool For the Summer”

Quote

As the title suggests, this Demi Lovato summer anthem is an exploration to our wanderings. The song exudes a desire for sex, albeit particularly in the summer, where this season spikes energies to the fullest. Besides sex, the song allures fun in undertaking curiosity by bringing Demi to paradise with (possibly) another woman. And by the conclusion of the song, both parties are "cool" for the summer, depicting the end of their experiement and no long-lasting emotional bond is forged.

 

As with the summer season, most individuals prefer to enjoy and experience life as brought about by the song's lyrics to self-explore. In regards to the technicality of the song, its production is also blast-ready to cars, bars and streets - a perfect and lethal combination to represent summer.

 

URBAN - Fifth Harmony - “All In My Head (Flex)”

Quote

For this round I chose “All In My Head (Flex)” because the song’s island vibes makes it the perfect summer song! Hearing it not only makes you want to hit the beach in your cutest bathing suit, it also makes you want to slow whine in the sand. It’s the perfect song to add to your summer party playlist!

 

Kylie Jenner - Miley Cyrus - “Malibu”

Quote

I chose this song to represent summer because lyrically it refers to going to the beach and enjoying the sun and feeling carefree with your significant other which are summer activities. The production is also very light and fun which also gives a summer vibe. Malibu is also a hot place. 

 

kipperskipper - Years & Years - “Sunlight”

Quote

This is the perfect summer anthem because.. DUH! This song is perfect for a summer beach day, a summer pool party, or just goin for a drive under the sun. It is fun, fresh, and infectious, full of light and summer sun fun! It may not be serious or deep, but why would a fun summer party song need to be lyrically deep? It evokes everything about the summer.

 

K$Ellie - LOONA - “Love Cherry Motion”

Quote

An upbeat summer bop with a twist. The video represents the season with all the bright colors and flowers as well as friends having fun by the pool, playing games and dancing. The chorus also has lyrics referring to summer, "I have fallen, love cherry motion / Into a purple, midsummer night’s dream".

 

 


 

FALL

Spoiler

 

Rence - Lana Del Rey - “Terrence Loves You”

Quote

I chose this song for autumn because it sounds like something that you can listen to outside sitting on your porch or walking in the woods, feeling the calmness of autumn. It has a jazzy, sad girl autumn feel to it where you can picture leaves falling and the summer shine fading away, leading to an autumn breeze. This song brings peace and contentment.

 

Rosépop - The Weeknd - “Montreal”

Quote

this doesn't really have any blatant indication to a particular season (as is the case with almost all of his music) but i personally think all of his mixtapes sonically remind me of the fall, especially this track


 

 

 


 

WINTER

Spoiler

 

PinkBox - Céline Dion - “It’s All Coming Back To Me Now”

Quote

I chose It's All Coming Back To Me to represent Winter for several reasons : the lyrics, the theme, the production, the sounds and the overall mood that you feel listening to it.

First of all, the very first lines of the song use words that are associated with the winter.

"There were nights when the wind was so cold
That my body froze in bed if I just listened to it
Right outside the window"

Second of all, the song is about reminiscing on past memories and moments of a lover, just like you do in the winter, sitting in your cozy couch with a cup of hot cocoa, looking out the window and thinking back at cute memories.

 

Third of all, in the cold winter weather, you want, more than any other time, the touch of another human and to cuddle with them. Céline sings about how she felt when the other person touched and held her, because she feels lonely and sad, just like the depressed mood of winter.

 

Finally, the production of the song and the overall mood of the song start a bit gloomy but you also feel the hope as the song progresses, which reminds me of winter, as in the snow and the cold are AWFUL and i kinda wanna die, but I just KNOW and HOPE that the snow will melt soon and I'll be able to not fall on my ass in the icy streets. Some sounds are also very winter-y, like the little bells at 2:09. The song is also very theatrical and Céline sings it filled with emotions and winter is the season where most people get more emotional (probably bc of the cold tbh).

 

boys - Fantasia - “The Snow Is Falling”

Quote

The season I decided to go with was Winter if thats not obvious. I know people are expecting the typical oh it's Christmas, gifts, joy! But thats not the case because there is also a part of winter time and the holidays that no one likes to really address. Those people who are alone during a time when everyone else is celebrating with loved ones and creating memories. Some people are alone by the fire at night with their thoughts all through the winter and I think this song perfectly encapsulates that while still giving off that winter vibe. It also shows Fantasia's DIVERSITY in being able to take on different genres.

 

Moonlightbae - Tinashe - “Stormy Weather”

Quote

fits Winter perfectly cause the stormy weather and the dark vibes x

 

touya kinomoto - Ellie Goulding - “Explosions”

Quote

i selected it because it is a ballad. a sad one at that too. it has harrowing vocals in the beginning inspired by classical and operatic music. the song itself is about ellie confronting someone she loved before but that said someone just pushed her away only for him to think of her again.

Legend E - Kelly Clarkson - “Wrapped In Red”

Quote

Albeit being a Christmas song, Wrapped In Red paints a beautiful winter image of longing of having nice holidays in the coziness of your family. The first verse depicts a general atmosphere of winter, both as a landscape, but also as a feeling ("snow is falling down/prayers are being answered"). She wishes for a Christmas miracle throughout the song, probably with her current husband who she had a crush on for years. The "red" stands for passion and for feeling complete and special.
