Recommended Posts

happier - enjoyed this mostly, kind of bored by the end

better off - this round of ballads we- I actually really like this though, very nice

Angel in Disguise - unique choice, I love this era of R&B so a pretty good pick for me

Monster - personally never saw this as a standout of her discog but I adore TFM Gaga and this song is still great

24 Hours - liked this more than I thought I would ! Very 80s

Bad Love - why this song sksnfkdns. Luckily although I’m not a big Cher fan I love disco and so I enjoyed this a lot

R.E.M - idk I never really liked this song much? Love Ari but this song is kind of a bridge to nowhere

Breathe on Me - actually never heard this before, it’s cute enough

Death Row - fair warning I’m a OBRH. However this is the best I’ve heard from her, it’s very cute! Maybe I’m too hard on her :/

Love Me 4 Me - very cute and danceable! There’s a reason Rina is always sent in these games methinks

I Can See the Future - not really into this, it’s pretty sleepy to me

Dance for You - never got the hype around this song, it’s cute but pretty average among Beyoncé’s discog if not worse

bad idea - pretty average Ariana song to me, it’s ok

Wallflower - well props for the risk! I find her stuff so intense and macabre, often to a fault though, but this is pretty middle of the pack for her

The Chase - all this Tinashe music is putting me to sleep I’m sorry, it sounds like the feeling after you wake up from a nap, at least it has some drums

Dance in the Dark - Monster > this I fear but again still really like

Let Me Down Slowly - ok I definitely will never be listening to this full album, I’d say this is the best one from her though, she still sounds half asleep but there’s a bit more energy in the beat

Akasaka Sad - kind of weird in a way I don’t like that much, but the Clarence Clarity production is still really cool

Vulnerable - nekfdndk now if I thought Tinashe sounded half asleep, then Selena sounds fully asleep ? not a fan of her (music) including this

Gimmie Love - sounds like her other stuff ? but I guess if this came in the Forever 21 I’d get some pep in my step

Olivia Rodrigo - happier: so lovely, one of my faves from SOUR since I heard it, wishing you luck cause this panel/cast is full of pretentious faqz

 

Ariana Grande - better off: one of the best tracks on this terrible album, quite enjoyable and cute, although it doesn't hit like it used to

 

Brandy - Angel In Disguise: it's cute, middling for me I guess since this round is too stacked, but it's fine

 

Lady Gaga - Monster: arguably her best song perhaps??? or at least it is up there in the top 5, such a perfect pop song 

 

Sky Ferreira - 24 Hours: never got into her cause I always thought her music was boring, with that said, this isn't as boring as I remember but I still don't wanna listen to it on my own

 

Cher - Bad Love: it's giving bad Donna Summer rip off..... I don't like it. 

 

Ariana Grande - R.E.M.: one of the best tracks on this terrible album [2], I probably enjoy this a bit more than better off so werk!

 

Britney Spears - Breathe on Me: nahhhhhh this is a tremendous CLASSIC!!!!!!!! one of her best songs for sure, so sexy and dark and timeless

 

Bebe Rexha - Death Row: sweetie I admire your bravery so much aljdkfhdsñlgkhjfsa I actually love this song so much, it's actually one of my favorite songs of the year so far probably, so I'll be giving you my #1 cause these others faqz are probably tanking you 

 

Rina Sawayama - Love Me 4 Me: doubt this was the best choice available for SAWAYAMA, it's a cute track but there were definitely better

 

Tinashe : I Can See the Future: yupppppppppp she ate this up so good, a 333 highlight, and a round highlight for me too 

 

Beyoncé - Dance For You: oh bitch. this is for sure a career highlight, it's so sexy and it makes me want to be a *****, doesn't even feel 6 minutes long

 

Ariana Grande - bad idea: hm. my favorite of the 3 Arianka songs sent this round, quite the serve I fear

 

Sevdaliza - Wallflower: erm... it's like... okay? a very odd choice though, good luck 

 

Tinashe - The Chase: something about the mixing/mastering on this song has always bothered me, with that said, I love this freaking song omggggg POPnashe never misses, it bops so good and she did what had to be done I just wish I enjoyed the mixing, will still rank high for me though

 

Lady Gaga - Dance In the Dark: this is an excellent song.... but it was a single and the rules said album tracks so I will be tanking accordingly love. 

 

Tinashe - Let Me Down Slowly: probably the Tinashe song I like the least on this round BUT it's still a great song nonetheless, the vibes are immaculate and I love the production

 

Rina Sawayama - Akasaka Sad: oh BITCHHHHH now that's more like it, poor Love Me 4 Me sender, this is such a delicious song mmmmm the production is so juicy and good, a SAWAYAMA/career/round highlight 

 

Selena Gomez - Vulnerable: mmmmmmmhmmmmmm this song is god tier, when she serves she serves HARD and that is what she did here

 

Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimme Love: I've never been like a huge fan of this song, it's very cute but it's like towards the middle-lower side on EMOTION for Moi, definitely not a bad choice though cause I enjoy it

Spoiler

Olivia Rodrigo - Happier - I feel like this song has been done a thousand times before, she really has nothing fresh or interesting to offer musically huh. Her lyrics are also incredibly basic.

 

Ariana Grande - Better Off - Easily my least fave from the album, it just doesn’t go anywhere and the chorus puts me in a trance. 

 

Brandy - Angel In Disguise - Oh this is a classic wait a min. It sounds so pretty and hypnotizing, I love the details in the production and the textures she creates with her voice :lemmelistening:  

 

Lady Gaga - Monster - Yeah her discography aged terribly and I never cared for her album tracks to begin with. This isn’t completely awful but I’m just not in the mood for it.

 

Sky Ferreira - 24 Hours - A very lovely song from a classic album, I love the heavy pop rock/synth production.

 

Cher - Bad Love - what is DIS hunny. I guess it’s not the worst thing here since I see a bebe rexha song coming up next but still, bad love? More like bad song am I right :zany:

 

Ariana Grande - R.E.M. - I wanna fall asleep to this song but in a good way you know, like it’s so soothing and the melodies are so pretty. 

 

Britney Spears - Breathe On Me - So sensual, so sexy and one of her best songs. I think what she does has class to it.

 

Bebe Rexha - Death Row - The lyrics are turrible and while the verses were tolerable, the chorus was very annoying, maybe if it was sung by someone else...

 

Rina Sawayama - Love Me 4 Me - One of the better songs from the second half of this massively overrated album. It’s cute but I do remember it snapping harder.

 

Tinashe - I Can See The Future - Not one of my faves from the album, it just doesn’t hit hard for me. But it’s still tabsnashe so I might rank high.

 

Beyoncé - Dance For You - I personally don’t get the hype for this song, it’s nice but that’s it. I didn’t notice it was 6 minutes long though so that’s a good thing.

 

Ariana Grande - Bad Idea - One of the few songs I still revisit from this album, I particularly like the strings and the outro.

 

Sevdaliza - Wallflower - This was actually a nice little bop, I was expecting worse given the panning. It kinda goes nowhere though, it feels more like an intro or long interlude.

 

Tinashe - The Chase - Cute, definitely the superior Tinashe entry.

 

Lady Gaga - Dance in the Dark - This sounds even more dated and ugly than her other song here, I’m gonna pass.

 

Tinashe - Let Me Down Slowly - The inferior Tinashe entry, it just feels incomplete, the instrumental parts aren’t even interesting.

 

Rina Sawayama - Akasaka Sad - This song is so overrated, the chorus feels so uninspired to me and I wish the song would build bigger you know? 

 

Selena Gomez - Vulnerable - A bit on the generic side but very cute still :lemmelistening:

 

Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimmie Love - It was alright for a CRJ song, the last chorus got a bit corny with the voices in the background.

Spoiler

Happier: it’s decent but also cringy, there were better choices off the album and she’s such a copout choice x

Better Off: so pretty :weeps: one of her best ballads

Angel In Disguise: yeah this went on for about a minute too long but it’s good

Monster: it’s listenable but doesn’t do much for me

24 Hours: fun bop but not one of the standouts on the album, good choice tho!

Bad Love: too gay for me bro x

R.E.M.: a nice little song but fairly unremarkable, middle of the road

Breathe On Me: one of her best album tracks :smitten:

Death Row: the one song on her album that i kinda used x

Love Me 4 Me: massive bop :heart:

I Can See The Future: nice song, although not one of my faves on the album

Dance For You: good song but I already know it’s gonna be massively overrated like the rest of 4 x

Bad Idea: always loved this :katie2:

Wallflower: interesting choice x

The Chase: good song but again, there were better choices :fan:

Dance in the Dark: good song but the bridge drags it down quite a bit tbh, also way better than Monster x

Let Me Down Slowly: the best of the Tinashe songs, very pretty :heart:

Akasaka Sad: this hyperpop banger :katie2:

Vulnerable: this is such a bland album that even the good songs (like this) sound fairly basic

Gimmie Love: always liked this a lot!

Olivia Rodrigo - Happier - Not something i'd come back to. 

 

Ariana Grande - Better Off - It's chill. 

 

Brandy - Angel In Disguise - Yep. Very smooth. 

 

Lady Gaga - Monster - I don't use her album tracks often but this one is decent. 

 

Sky Ferreira - 24 Hours - She was great when she was a musician. 

 

Cher - Bad Love - This is a very random choice. Not my thing. 

 

Ariana Grande - R.E.M. - One of my faves from sweetener. 

 

Britney Spears - Breathe On Me - Very sensual and love the instrumental too. 

 

Bebe Rexha - Death Row: I never liked her vocals so I can't really get into this one. 

 

Rina Sawayama - Love Me 4 Me - Wish she explored the new jack swing influence more. One of my personal faves from her album. 

 

Tinashe - I Can See The Future - My 2nd favorite pre-released 333 song. Has some nightride touches. 

 

Beyoncé - Dance For You - It's good yeah. It gets acclaimed everywhere for a reason. 

 

Ariana Grande - Bad Idea - Meh. The chorus doesn't grip me. 

 

Sevdaliza - Wallflower - It's not horrible but the spoken word parts aren't appealing to me. 

 

Tinashe - The Chase - A good pop song.  

 

Lady Gaga - Dance in the Dark: Doesn't resonate with me. 

 

Tinashe - Let Me Down Slowly - This is great :jamming: 

 

Rina Sawayama - Akasaka Sad - Interesting choice. The chorus is kinda weak for me but the rest of the song keeps my interest. 

 

Selena Gomez - Vulnerable - hmm not bad. Expected worse from this album. 

 

Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimmie Love - Likeable emotion cut.

Olivia Rodrigo - Happier
I never liked her singing tone, Beautiful piano, gutter lyrics, gwacala


Ariana Grande - Better Off
Bittersweet ballad bop, vales mil

 

Brandy - Angel In Disguise
Something is missing from this, es leve

 

Lady Gaga - Monster
Reminiscing about dark pop now, muy bueno

 

Sky Ferreira - 24 Hours
Dynamic instrumental y a def bop, un poco otro nivel

 

Cher - Bad Love
This is actually really nice, me gusta the instrumental and her tone against it

 

Ariana Grande - R.E.M.
Still knocks despite how lax it is, es buenísima onda

 

Britney Spears - Breathe On Me
This production is stellar, another buenísima onda

 

Bebe Rexha - Death Row
This didn't stand out, seems like she cherry picked certain parts from other old songs because certain parts sound similar, equis

 

Rina Sawayama - Love Me 4 Me
One of my fave from her album, 1000 linda

 

Tinashe - I Can See The Future
Bops but ngl there's better off 333 than this, es leve 

 

Beyoncé - Dance For You
I didn't know the song was 6 minutes long pero it's a high contender for winning. o sea, súper nice

 

Ariana Grande - Bad Idea
This is high for me personally because the outro is just otro nivel

 

Sevdaliza - Wallflower
The outro is mesmerizing to me, still taking a bit to enjoy overall though

 

Tinashe - The Chase
One of her very best, no es verdad

 

Lady Gaga - Dance in the Dark
Not sure why this is getting lashed but the Production is still bueno

 

Tinashe - Let Me Down Slowly
winner in my opinon, que suerte

 

Rina Sawayama - Akasaka Sad
A bop, and another fave off the album. vale mil

 

Selena Gomez - Vulnerable
She knows how to excel with her distinct sound, took a bit to warm up but me gusto overall

 

Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimmie Love
I think there were better options from the album but still a cute choice

Olivia Rodrigo - Happier

This is kind of just there as a song for me

 

Ariana Grande - Better Off

Really beautiful track! Definitely in the top tier of Sweetener

 

Brandy - Angel In Disguise

I liked this quite a bit... not a fan of spoken additions to songs, so the intro was not my fave... but the rest was good.

 

Lady Gaga - Monster

Fun enough but unremarkable

 

Sky Ferreira - 24 Hours

Enjoyed the vibe of this

 

Cher - Bad Love

I don't really understand this choice. Like why did you pick something that was 40 years old? I feel like older songs will only do well here if they are well known hits and beloved. This was cute at times, but it was like such a "Hot Stuff" ripoff and should have been 2 minutes shorter.

 

Ariana Grande - R.E.M.

I've never really enjoyed this song. It's very monotonous to me. I would have loved to see what Bey could have done here... feel like she would have brought it to life in an exciting way tbh.

 

Britney Spears - Breathe On Me

This was fun! Probably middle of the pack.

 

Bebe Rexha - Death Row

Now why did Bebe drop Sacrifice, a 10 out of 10... and then switch back to something cheesy and screechy?

 

Rina Sawayama - Love Me 4 Me

One of my favorites from Sawayama!! I love the 90s/2000s vibe - super cute and catchy.

 

Tinashe - I Can See The Future

Absolute smash.

 

Beyoncé - Dance For You

Loved this, and like others said, it made 6 minutes fly by quickly.

 

Ariana Grande - Bad Idea

One of the best bops from TUN!

 

Sevdaliza - Wallflower

This was not AS bad as some of the other reviews had me to believe... still wasn't my cup of tea.

 

Tinashe - The Chase

Very cute!! Loved this.

 

Lady Gaga - Dance in the Dark

Good song but gurl it was a single. READ!

 

Tinashe - Let Me Down Slowly

Def the least remarkable of the Tinashe songs. It was ok.

 

Rina Sawayama - Akasaka Sad

YASSSSSSSS absolutely. I was obsessed w this song in 2020. Thought it would be too experimental for VL, so I am very happy to see the praise from most ppl.

 

Selena Gomez - Vulnerable

It's p good - probably one of the more enjoyable songs on Rare for me

 

Carly Rae Jepsen - Gimmie Love

cute, generic CRJ so not crazy about it
