tournament ☀️ ATRL's Song Contest ☀️ Winner revealed (pg.513)

[Tom Vercetti]

Björk - Crying: Thought I would like this more but the house beat is dated and her vocals doesn't really mesh well enough with it. 

[smholiv]

Miley Cyrus - Stay

alsjdf I'm sorry I just personally think this is one of the worst pop girl albums I've ever heard. The ballads are such duds, wet blanket tea

[smholiv]

VICTORIA - Ugly Cry

I wouldn't listen to it again

[Tom Vercetti]

Katy Perry - Cry About It Later: Alright.  It's listenable for a smile song. 

[smholiv]

Lorde - A World Alone

This is nice! A good closer to the album. Not a favourite of mine but will probably get points!

[smholiv]

Kim Petras - All I Do Is Cry

Mess the instrumental is really fun, the rest is not. I particularly dislike the "melody" which feels like just reading off a page but making it semi-musical

[smholiv]

Troye Sivan - could cry just thinkin about you

This serve. I was hoping I could get this song LKFSJKJSD. Anyway I really like it, it's super cute and I'm glad a full version exists

[smholiv]

Phoebe Bridgers - I Know The End

It's cool, I lose interest when the screams start and it dives into cacophony.

[smholiv]

Kelly Clarkson - Cry

Sorry I don't like this

[smholiv]

FKA TWIGS - sad day

Yesss all of the songs sent this season of hers have been excellence 

[smholiv]

Kesha - Resentment

 probably not going to get points, but its pleasant

[smholiv]

Bridgit Mendler - Do You Miss Me At All

This is a cool bop

[smholiv]

Carly Rae Jepsen - Cry

It doesn't really do anything for me. It's okay but kind of fillery

[smholiv]

Rihanna - Close To You

 pretty

[smholiv]

Jojo - Save My Soul

I feared that "sad songs" would yield power-ballad type songs like this where I just don't really care to listen to them individually.

 

[smholiv]

Garbage - Can't Cry These Tears

Wait it really does have a Christmas feel I find this a bit annoying sorry

[smholiv]

Muna - Stayaway

I wouldn't listen to this again but I feel like it'll get points just because I really don't like this round

[smholiv]

BANKS - Someone New

I can't explain it but this feels like it would work better as an interlude

[smholiv]

Tove Lo - hey you got drugs?

nice song, this is her best album by far it seems

[smholiv]

Stellar - Crying

Stellar are fine but nothing they've done ever stands out to me

[smholiv]

Ashe - Girl Who Cried Wolf

I mean idek  filler, this round was not it!

[smholiv]

Dagny - Let Me Cry

Idek, round was not it [2]

[smholiv]

Bjork - Crying

This is fine, might give it a point idk

[smholiv]

Katy Perry - Cry About it Later

This benefitted a lot from being the last song, a relief from the rest of the round. 

I think its fun! I don't adore it, but based on this round its one of the best songs for sure

[smholiv]

Overall thoughts: 

 

I'm 100% out so...  but like, can we please re-shift this game to focus on good, creative rounds that yield interesting entries? I think that's the element I've struggled with the most... I hate sending in songs I don't care about
