clue Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Brandy - Right Here (Departed) – Cute to sing along to. It's not one of her best songs tho. Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) – It's cute. Not really snatching my lace front like it used to. Ariana Grande - Knew Better / Forever Boy – One of the bearable DW songs. :shock: James Blake - Where's the Catch? – This album wasn't it. And his music as a whole kinda isn't. Everything sounds almost exactly the same to me. But anyway this one isn't that bad. Empress Of - I Don't Even Smoke Weed – Boring and cheap sounding no shade. Grimes - Kill V. Maim – Mega classic. Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time – Classic, but not among my favorite Britney songs. OurR (아월) - haaAakkKKK!!! – A lil boring, but cute. Drake - Hold On, We're Going Home – A mega classic. You don't understand I'm OBSESSED. MARINA - I'm a Ruin – Very cheap sounding. But the chorus used to snap back in the day. Paramore - Ain't It Fun – A classic. YUP. I've been wanting to send this in VL for the longest time, but I forgot all about it for this round LOL. SZA - Garden (Say It Like Dat) – It's alright. Used to be one of my favorite CZAR songs. Bree Runway - What Do I Tell My Friends? – No ma'am. Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure? – Very nice song. The chorus is so lush. Loved it in ASC a few weeks ago and I love it now.
Rotunda Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 (edited) You're Not The One - When the instrumental kicked in I was really excited for the song, but when the vocals began, I was kind of disappointed. I feel like it was a bad production choice to basically have the instrumental overpower her voice, and she slurs around from line to line. The song is lacking punch because of it. Who's Gonna Save U Now - I'm sure I'm in the minority with this view, but I find SAWAYAMA to be a kinda immature album, insofar as it feels like a 30 year old artist who is kinda stuck in middle school. This isn't to say that this kind of thing cannot be done well, but it is to say that I think Rina does it in a way that could use more finesse. Regardless, I think this song is pretty good, even though I have a hard time kinda buying into the universe that Rina is selling. Chun-Li - I used to be obsessed with this track. It doesn't hit as hard anymore, but it is by no means bad. What You Waiting For? - This definitely feels like the kind of song that plays in the mall that doesn't really leave an impression one way or another. Jojo. - This sounds like a generic 5th Harmony song, but it's still ok. Broken-Hearted Girl - I know I'm supposed to hate on this because it's IASF, but I love this. Oops. Too Little Too Late - I heard her perform this live. It's a good track, but also not something that hits me particularly hard. Comme de Garcons - This does nothing for me at all tbh. Schoolin' Life - A Hive favorite, and one of mine as well. Oops!...I Did It Again - "You know songs like that, they are stories that people can identify with. Iou know what i mean? Anybody. Children were singing this song at graduations, at weddings, at funerals. F***in' Perfect - If this was 7th grade, I would have given you the 1. As an adult, I like it a lot less. Drowned World / Substitute for Love - I had low expectations for this, but it was really good. That's The Way Love Goes - I like this. Honestly I've always had trouble getting into Janet, but I vibe with this. First Love / Late Spring - Yes. Holiday / Boulevard of Broken Dreams - Not sure how this risk will pay off for you, but I like this. Holiday > BOBD though. Edited August 7, 2020 by Rotunda
Navyofbadgals Posted August 7, 2020 Posted August 7, 2020 Brandy - Right Here - this is turribly dated, cute vocals tho so I didn't HATE it, but yeah x Katy Perry - Last Friday Night - definitely the weakest TD #1, but I don't hate it. It's a cute lil inoffensive bop Ariana Grande - Knew Better / Forever Boy - this is SO overrated It's a good song tho and you can expect a good ranking from moi but it really ain't as amazing as people are saying it is x James Blake - Where's The Catch - bold of you to send anything from him that is not Barefoot In The Park. I wish I liked the song because I appreciate the risk in sending this.. but I simply don't enjoy this song sorree Empress Of - I Don't Even Smoke Weed - hmm I liked this when her 2nd album came out because it was one of the better songs but this wasn't as cute as I remember Grimes - Kill V. Maim - CLASSICCC the serotonin I get from this Britney Spears - Baby One More Time - I'm in a bad mood so feel like tanking this! This ain't all that, oops> OurR - Whatever that title is - i mean i guess, not bad, not that interesting either Drake - Hold On We're Going Home - hope the f words don't do this wrong because this one still HITS v cute MARINA - I'm A Ruin - gays still haven't given up on her? damn Paramore - Ain't It Fun - would be surprised if anything other than this or WYP wins tbh. This is aging very nicely SZA - Garden (Say It Like Dat) - aging very nicely oop! I like Bree Runway - What Do I Tell My Friends - Love Bree, but this one felt a bit disjointed not my fav sorry x Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure - YUP!

miguel Posted August 8, 2020 Author Posted August 8, 2020 GROUP 1 Spoiler Sky Ferreira - You're Not The One this is okay, i liked the bridge, the rest was meh Rina Sawayama - Who's Gonna Save U Now? unfortunately, the inferior Rina song this round. Still great though Nicki Minaj - Chun-Li it's a cute bop, but highly overrated imo Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? not a big fan of this, most of 2000s pop has aged terribly for me JoJo - Vibe. wheeeeew, one of my favorites on the album, absolutely love this! Beyoncé - Broken-Hearted Girl very pretty, love her voice here Jojo - Too Little, Too Late absolute CLASSIC, amazing sing Rina Sawayama - Comme Des Garcons (Like The Boys) The better Rina entry this round, huge bop Beyoncé - Schoolin' Life YUP, i love this Britney Spears - Oops!... I Did It Again undeniable classic, whew P!nk - F**kin' Perfect this is much better than what people here will lead you to believe, i love the melody Madonna - Drowned World / Substitute For Love it's very pretty, but too long for what it is imo Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes Very sensual. But i have the same problem with this that i had with the Madonna song, they're good but way too long for what the song has to offer Mitski - First Love / Late Spring really like this, love the instrumentation Green Day - Holiday / Boulevard of Broken Dreams don't care much for Holiday, but BOBD is a CLASSIC GROUP 2 Spoiler Brandy - Right Here (Departed) very pretty song, loved it Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) classic bop Ariana Grande - Knew Better / Forever Boy YUP, great sing Where's The Catch? the production is super interesting , i like this I Don't Even Smoke Weed cute, she has better sings but this is nice Kill V. Maim i've never been into Grimes and this is why ...Baby One More Time undeniable classic, whew [2] OurR - haaAakkKKK!!! this is extremely uneventful Drake - Hold On, We're Going Home great sing, love the beat MARINA - I'm A Ruin very pretty, i like it even if Marina has so much better Paramore - Ain't It Fun CLASSIC, absolutely love this SZA - Garden (Say It Like Dat) YUP, one of my favorite SZA songs Bree Runaway - What Do I Tell My Friends? lowkey love this, the production is super interesting and i love the vocals Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure? extremely overrated, but still a very nice pop song Spoiler @clue @Fruity @Rotunda @luckystrike @minho @Staryu @Hug @Tom Vercetti @kipperskipper @w̯̝̰̳̤͑̅̾̈́̓̾͘͘͡͝ondy @diogozsz @Overprotected @Legend E @touya kinomoto @Alena @Remmy @Gay Rat Divorce @XO_Life @dussymob @ughgabriel @thecptz @PiecesOfYou @Moonlightbae @Mr. Duff @Auburn @Speezy @fiercE @Navyofbadgals @Rence
smholiv Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 ok yes... we were concerned but things are looking bright again!!!!!!!!!!
shelven Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 Same preface as last time, I'm not proofreading these critiques until there are less of you, so sorry for the inevitable typos and weird sentences that don't make any sense. GROUP 1 Spoiler Sky Ferreira - You're Not The One This is cute. I was enjoying it quite a bit for most of the song, but it started to feel like it was dragging on towards the end. Also minor complaint, but something feels off on the mixing of this track and it took away from the song a bit. Rina Sawayama - Who's Gonna Save U Now? Hm, I remember liking this more when I listened to the full album. It’s still pretty good, and I still really like the chorus, but the verses aren’t doing much for me. Nicki Minaj - Chun-Li Definitely one of Nicki’s best singles in the last few years. This song just has SO much personality without crossing into being annoying. It’s the type the song I really wouldn’t expect to like, but just can’t resist liking. Gwen Stefani - What You Waiting For? Wow ok the switch at around the 25 second mark definitely caught my attention. Anyways, the song is definitely high-energy, but it veers into too much uncontrolled energy. I found it kinda annoying if I’m being honest. Jojo - Vibe. Ugh, I went into this really hoping I’d like it because Jojo seems like an awesome person, but this is just SO generic and bland to me. It’s sort of catchy, I guess, but it feels like ANYONE could have sung it. Beyoncé - Broken-Hearted Girl I mean it’s a pretty enough ballad, but it feels like literally every single female ballad released around that time. I don’t know Beyonce’s discography too well, but I find it very hard to believe this is the best song with a punctuation mark in her discography. Jojo - Too Little, Too Late I was gonna say you should have submitted the original over the re-recorded version because the original is much better, but then I realized the original isn’t on Spotify ffff. So I’ll judge the original, which is an excellent pop classique. Rina Sawayama - Comme Des Garcons (Like The Boys) Ok so turns out that for BOTH Rina songs in this group, I remember liking them more than I actually do now nnnn. I guess a lot of this album has lost its allure to me. All that being said, this is still a really fun bop and I like it, I just don’t LOVE it anymore. Beyoncé - Schoolin' Life This is fun and I like the production! I’m still not convinced Beyonce was worth using this round if these are supposedly her two best songs with punctuation marks, but this one’s pretty good and definitely the better of the Beyonce songs in this group. Britney Spears - Oops!... I Did It Again dfkghjkdfh “but I thought the old lady dropped it in the ocean” absolutely sends me every single time. Anyways I don’t care how predictable or obvious of a choice this is. This song is pop perfection and will be treated accordingly. P!nk - F**ckin' Perfect Ehhhhh. This song is basically the prime representation of P!nk as an artist for me - I guess it’s not bad and I don’t really have a rational reason for disliking it, but something about it just irks me for some unexplainable reason. Madonna - Drowned World / Substitute For Love Sorry, but this song is INCREDIBLY boring. Are there even more than 6 notes used in this entire song? Janet Jackson - That's The Way Love Goes This one’s also kind of dull, although the instrumental is at least more interesting than the Madonna song. This would probably do worse in a more talented group, so consider yourself lucky that this group has mostly sucked. Mitski - First Love / Late Spring Ok I really need to listen to more of Mitski’s discography already. Her voice is so mesmerizing to me. This isn’t my favourite song I’ve heard from her, and it does drag a bit at points, but overall it’s still good. Green Day - Holiday / Boulevard of Broken Dreams It’s a risk to send an artist like Green Day for an ATRL game, but for me at least, it DEFINITELY paid off. I really love these songs, particularly Holiday. Great job going with a great, unexpected submission. GROUP 2 Spoiler Brandy - Right Here (Departed) Ok whew at that intro, it really grabbed my attention. I like this! It’s a good example of a classic quality 2000s R&B pop song - good vocals and harmonies with that signature sound in the production. Katy Perry - Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.) I truly HATED this song when it was a single. Like DESPISED it. But time changes people and now I don’t really mind it? Still far from a huge fan, but certainly more okay with it than I used to be. Ariana Grande - Knew Better / Forever Boy This is cute. Not one of my favourite Ariana songs, not one of my least favourites. I prefer the Knew Better half to the Forever Boy half. James Blake - Where's The Catch? This is a very cool song. A super interesting listening experience, in a good way. His voice and the production work well together to create a very mesmerizing track. Empress Of - I Don't Even Smoke Weed There were some parts of this song that I really liked and other parts that were kind of just there for me, but overall this was pretty good. I’d probably listen again. Grimes - Kill V. Maim Ok so on the one hand this song is truly an absolute MESS… but also I liked it quite a lot? It feels like just the right level of chaotic to keep you hooked without getting turned off. Maybe X Æ A-12’s mother is onto something. Britney Spears - ...Baby One More Time Okay so I was fully ready to stan HARD, but for some reason, this song isn’t hitting like it usually does for me. Don’t get me wrong, it’s still a very good pop song. But I’m surprised that I’m not loving this listen as much as I was ready to. OurR (아월) - haaAakkKKK!!! Screaming at the title, I was lowkey expecting a plot twist of this song having a heavy metal chorus or something. Anyways, it’s nice enough. I didn’t dislike it, but it didn’t really capture my attention in any way. It was relaxing background music. Drake - Hold On, We're Going Home I saw this was submitted and my immediate reaction was “ugh why”. But I hadn’t listened to it in forever, so I went into it with an open mind. And my reaction after listening to it is “ugh why”. MARINA - I'm A Ruin It’s kind of bland, but it’s not bad. Like I wouldn’t run to go listen to it, but I didn’t mind listening and I’d probably be willing to listen to it again if I had to. Paramore - Ain't It Fun LOVE this song. It just has such a positive energy to it. It always puts a smile on my face and I never really got tired of it even though I listened to it quite a lot back when it first came out. SZA - Garden (Say It Like Dat) This has a nice vibe to it. It’s chill, but has enough punch to it to keep my attention <— That was the full critique I wrote before that far too long outro. Now I’m less sure how I feel about this song. Bree Runway - What Do I Tell My Friends? Ooh this is kinda a bop huh. This was a really enjoyable listen, nothing mind-blowing but overall it was good! Jessie Ware - What's Your Pleasure? This is alright I guess. The production isn’t anything special and I’m not a fan of her whispery vocals, but it was nice enough to listen to. This will probably end up somewhere in the middle of the pack for me.

luckystrike Posted August 8, 2020 Posted August 8, 2020 (yes I wanted a banner too so I reused my diversity 2 banner) You’re Not The One: I have tried to get into her so many times but it never works and this was no exception sorry love Who’s Gonna Save You Now?: rock classic Chun-Li: this meme’d song..... no thoughts head empty What You Waiting For?: O M F G the classic that this is Vibe.: this is kind of aged.... and the album has many better songs... but I still quite like it Broken-Hearted Girl: this is so ****ing boring I’m so sorry Beyoncé Comme Des Garçons (Like The Boys): the better Rina song honestly, classique Schoolin’ Life: the better Bey song by a landslide, it’s very fun Oops!... I Did It Again: the way you ate these bitches up..... :praise: F**ckin' Perfect: omg I cried to this song in like 6th grade or something, the chorus still kinda knocks! Drowned World / Substitute For Love: I kind of hated it at the beginning but it started going somewhere and it ended up being quite nice That’s The Way Love Goes: nothing groundbreaking but it’s enjoyable I guess First Love / Late Spring: I’m not into this sorry Holiday / Boulevard Of Broken Dreams: these are literally two different songs just put together I.... I never liked Holiday a lot but BOBD is a classic so what the hell we gon do now? Too Little Too Late: this is kind of aged [2] but I guess it’s not the worst song here
