thecptz Posted November 20, 2021 Author Posted November 20, 2021 SING-OFF RESULTS let's hear what our judges say about their performance AND who they chose.. last, in a GROUP, they came in pack and basically said the same thing courtesy of judge amy lee! so please welcome judge Amy Lee, judge Madonna, and judge Mariah Carey!!! this is what they have to say: Quote luckystrike - Troye Sivan - IN A DREAM : I really like the setting and color schemes. It looks very earthy. Troye's performance was good and it never felt boring despite not much happening. I just found Billie's performance more powerful. shelven - Billie Eilish - Happier Than Ever : Very intense and emotionally stirring. The way the performance switches from calm to chaotic mirrors the lyrics and sound of the song perfectly. It was also fun watching the band and her unleashing towards the end and having a blast together. Not Like The Movies - Chloe x Halle - Warrior : That was good vocally and entertaining overall, but it didn't have that Chloe x Halle print for me in the way that your first live performance had. It took some time to kick off, and I felt thirsty for more choreo coordination which I think they excel at. and all 3 of them have chosen to save the same person. so with the vote of 4-1 congratulations!!!!! Spoiler Billie Eilish! @shelven you're safe to slay another day! and take this as a wake up call, after the first double wins at the beginning of the competition, you've been starting to kinda stay at the lower safe group or low for these past rounds. i know you can bring it, so please do that!!!! congrats again my love Spoiler which means Troye Sivan and Chloe x Halle, i'm sorry but your time in Diversity 4 is over. troye, i'm sad to see you go cause you still have more great tracks to play but billie just ate this sing-off and the twink lover in dessy couldn't save you chloe x halle, your run in this season has been a roller coaster. you've won twice but you've also ended up in the bottom twice as well. its either doing well or doing not quite well for you and tbh, its been a fun ride watching you play both troye and chloe x halle.. thanks so much for gracing us with your presence we will miss you and maybe we'll see each other again thank you so much for applying and taking part in Diversity 4 #supportsmallbusiness but now its time for you to sashay away.

Not Like The Movies Posted November 20, 2021 Posted November 20, 2021 happy for shelven and billie, congrats!! what im going to say has nothing to do with shelven but I do find judges that this to be some bull****, if y'all are judging a sing off based on performance, how in the hell did amazing vocalist who also dance and have dancers and multiple instrumentalists, literally that performance had everything but did not get one single vote?? Like as vocalists there is no competition at all, and other aspects like dancing, the stage set and spectacle there is also no competition seriously??? , no i dont want to sound bitter but this is some fckery. like it further proves that black women can be how excellent at everything they do but will never get the recognition of their less talented white counterparts.

thecptz Posted November 21, 2021 Author Posted November 21, 2021 ROUND 8 (it's raining outside) ENTRIES SPOTIFY PLAYLIST Aaliyah - I Care 4 U Spoiler Rain can evoke many emotions, and for me, this song is like a perfect blend of the both comfort and sadness of rain. Sonically, the ballad has beautiful echoes, tender wind chimes & nature sounds, and hauntingly mellifluous vocals that remind me of a rainy day. Lyrically, Aaliyah speaks to a man who is hurting and upset, but just like the cleansing nature of rain, she is ready to soothe his emotional wounds and care for him in the future. Billie Eilish - i love you Spoiler "I Love You" perfectly describes the deep, heartbreaking sadness of losing someone you love and wishing you had never started to love them in the first place just so you could avoid the pain you now feel. Although Billie has her fair share of sad songs, I chose this one because it has an intimate, introspective feel to it that I think best captures the imagery of a rainy day. The instrumental is soft and gentle and the melody evokes a melancholic, quiet type of sadness as opposed to the dramatic, intense sadness that other ballads often try to go for. This more intimate approach feels perfect for staring out the window by yourself on a gloomy, rainy day, as you let yourself feel your sadness and acknowledge your heartbreak. Charli XCX - Stay Away Miley Cyrus - Slide Away Spoiler I'd listen to this when it rains Red Velvet - One of These Nights Spoiler This single tells a story of heartbreak and longing, drawing inspiration from tragic folklore about two lovers who were separated and only allowed to meet once a year. In a round that asks for sadness, language can present a barrier; however, emotion is universal and I love how they express the sorrow and despair of the lovers through their vocals. English translation: https://lyricskpop.net/lyrics/red-velvet-one-of-these-nights-english-translation/ Shakira - Tú Spoiler Lyrically, "Tu" is about Shakira begging her lover to not leave her again as she would be unable to live without him, and proclaiming that she would be willing to give every part of herself to him as long as he stays by her side. It's a sad, somber and dramatic song both lyrically (given that her words come from a place of insecurity and fear) and sonically, which I believe makes it a good fit for this round. The overall mood of the song lends itself perfectly to a dark, cold rainy day. I can imagine myself listening to this song on such a day while longingly looking out of a window and imagining life without somebody I love, be it a lover, a friend, a family member, etc. English translation: https://www.musixmatch.com/lyrics/Shakira/Tú/translation/english Shania Twain - When Spoiler It’s the kind of song you listen to while cleaning the house on a rainy saturday afternoon, and by the end of the song you’ve stopped cleaning and you’re just staring out the window crying about how y̶o̶u̶'̶l̶l̶ they’ll never make up and get back together because everything she’s described is impossible :nickicry: Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July Spoiler This song is written as a conversation between Sufjan and his mother after she died of cancer, which caused him to grapple with the fact that life is temporary and death is inevitable. Taylor Swift - Clean Spoiler ~ Rain came pouring down. When I was drowning, that’s when I could finally breathe. ~ Tinashe - Stormy Weather Spoiler It's themed around a storm taking place and the production exhibits windy-like weather effects throughout the chorus which adds to the atmosphere. The song's soothing tone also goes well with rainy weather while staying inside and relaxing. Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing Spoiler A very emotional and melancholic song, this is what I listen to sitting at the corner of my window looking out and seeing the water droplets fall from the sky and land on my window, the water slowly falling down the window as Whitney belts this ballad. while you all wait for the judges, here are all the songs for you to have fun with it OR you can just critique these songs too judges will have 36 hours (2pm ET on monday 22nd) to judge your entries!!

Staryu Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 I'm such a useless judge, I'm sorry, I've asked multiple times to be fired. Spoiler Aaliyah - I Care 4 U Glad you sent this over Miss You, Miss You gives me sunny vibes, this one is definitely more somber and gloomy, and also this is the better song. Billie Eilish - i love you This is actually really pretty and (not literally) screams rainy day music to me. Charli XCX - Stay Away Legit one of my favorite Charli songs, great choice, stay away (from the crown Krystal Versace). Miley Cyrus - Slide Away One of my favorite Miley songs, underrated!! Very somber and relaxed, perfect for a rainy day. Red Velvet - One of These Nights The orchestra or w/e on this is very pretty and I love the piano, definitely get rainy day vibes from this. Shakira - Tú This sounds sad, so it fits the theme, I'm not always a fan of Shakira's tone, the production makes it sound like a 90s country song at times. Shania Twain - When Love your explanation for this and I agree with it. I've always loved the chorus of this song, it's very nice. Sufjan Stevens - Fourth of July This has a very rainy day vibe, some of these choices actually make me see sadness, sitting by a window watching the rain. We're all gonna die, very depressing, good job! Taylor Swift - Clean Such a beautiful song, top 3 from 1989. Let the rain fall down and wake my dreams. Tinashe - Stormy Weather I've always loved this song title and it's perfect for a rainy theme, I feel like the production works too, it's a different vibe but I can see the rainy day vibe. Whitney Houston - I Have Nothing My favorite Whitney ballad, I have nothing (but the rain). I love to belt this song in the shower, which is also like rain, wow perfect choice.
Opulent Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 (edited) I stand by Ms. Staryu and demand that her wishes to be removed from the panel and have her scores cancelled for this round be respected Edited November 22, 2021 by Opulent
Navyofbadgals Posted November 22, 2021 Posted November 22, 2021 Spoiler Aaliyah - fit wise on point, the instrumental on this is quite cool at points and truly evokes a rainy feel, sadly I do feel like this was a bit boring to me at points, but overall cute song and great fit Billie Eilish - one of her prettiest, compared to the rest of the production on WWAFAWDWG, the lowkey production really works well here, very pretty song! Charli XCX - no explanation means no critique i fear.. Miley Cyrus - Still Miley's best ballad. Absolutely gorgeous song.. was still a lowkey OMCH back then but this was just too good to ignore even back in the day Red Velvet - hey queen! Girl you have done it again. Constantly raising the bar for us all and doing it flawlessly. i’d say i’m surprised but i know who you are. i’ve seen it up close and personal. girl you make me so proud. Shakira - cute fit and I appreciate the risk but this.. was very monotone and boring to me sadly Shania Twain - didn't like it at all but the guitar work near the end was a lovely little twist and somewhat saved the song for me x Sufjan Stevens - very lowkey but very pretty too! Don't know if this is a winner but I enjoyed it The Music Industry - I am a swiftie Tinashe - THE best of the round hands down, such a good fit that I have to tank everyone else here, and it's also my fav Tinashe song too. SO good Whitney Houston - CPG @Element @shelven @clue @boys @mokitsu @Opulent @Auburn @Noah @Rence @Tom Vercetti @PinkBox
