Mr. Duff Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Perfect - cool one, love how it’s so soft until the explosive bridge. I wish it was longer though, it ended really nicely but I enjoyed her vocals so much I wanted more

I feel like they are both popular and safe artists. I do love them both though. It’s my opinion so sorry if it’s not the same as yours. No worries at all! I just hate the term lol, nothing against you. And that does make sense, but I feel like you could make that case for a lot of the people submitted this round. I wouldn't call either of them safe because I think people's tastes here veer more towards pop than R&B/soul.
Mr. Duff Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Goodbye to You - oh wow I didn’t know that The Veronicas version is just a cover. Is this the original then? The cover of The Veronicas >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> I still like this song though, solid one but I guess I prefer the modernized version.

I do generally agree with the pop-leaning artists as cheap point grabs.
Mr. Duff Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Shadowboxer - I prefer the other Fiona song, but this isn’t bad. Definitely better than the supposed bops sent (JLo and Kylie).

At the end of the day, if the song's good, it's good, so it would get points from me

Mr. Duff Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Whisper - I wanted to like it, but it’s too noisy, I feel like her vocals would shone more in subtle and minimalistic production.

rl231 Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 every ghetto, every city - dug this, she's pretty great
rl231 Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 baila - i mean...it was cute? not my thing but who knows how this round will go
rl231 Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 strange fruit - i honestly love blood on the leaves (the kanye song), and i know it samples this or the Billie version, but i liked this a lot

Sometimes we do what we gotta do, and safe choices are likely safe because they are good.
Mr. Duff Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Way over Yonder - Great closer for the round. I love it. It’s something I can play while reminiscing during a rainy season.

Mr. Duff Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Heartbroken - oh this is so breezy, love the early RnB feels which is somehow lost in today’s RnB landscape.
rl231 Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 limp - surprisingly dug this. should get some points from me!
Mr. Duff Posted April 19, 2020 Posted April 19, 2020 Surprisingly, I enjoyed this round and Indo have more than 10 songs that I like. This will make the ranking hard.
rl231 Posted April 20, 2020 Posted April 20, 2020 can't take my eyes off of you - bopping, digging, enjoying, better than the other Lauryn song for me
