thecptz Posted December 16, 2021 Author Posted December 16, 2021 SING-OFF RESULTS let's hear what our judges say about their performance AND who they chose to save! first up, its judge Amy Lee! here's what she has to say: Quote boys - Miley Cyrus - Jolene : I really love the natural setting, and this is my favourite cover of the three sing off performances that you have sent. Miley's vocals are clear and strong, and the musicians have an equal compelling presence, making this a beautiful team effort. Auburn - Shania Twain - That Don't Impress Me Much : I expected an exciting performance considering that this song is so fun and groovy, but Shania displayed low energy here, which isn't a good recipe for an engaging performance. It looks like she was burned out from performing and I felt bad for her. what an insight.. wow and with that, she has decided to save...... Spoiler Miley Cyrus! next, please welcome judge Janelle Monáe! here's what she has to say: Quote Both were just okay for me. even though she seemed a lil meh with this, in the end, she still made a decision. and she saved...... Spoiler Shinia Twain! next up, please welcome judge Mariah Carey! here's what she has to say: Quote Cute performances Vote: neither omg ur so funny mariah she did vote for someone!!! and that person is...... Spoiler Shinia Twain! and heres our fourth judge, its judge Rihanna! she didn't say anything gasps but she did vote for someone her vote goes to.... Spoiler Miley Cyrus! which makes everything come down to judge Madonna! here's what she has to say: Quote <3 damn. this is so hard. who will win the last sing off and become the sing-off assassin of the season and move on to the semi-final? stay tuned!!!

Kavish Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 @Auburn Not only did you win 3 rounds, but I also gave you 6 perfect scores (more than I gave anyone else) so this is a testament of how strong a competitor you were in my eyes. I was really happy to see you sign up with Shania and you made her justice. I have an urge to revisit her discography thanks to you and hopefully she has gained new fans through this game. Will see you around.
Auburn Posted December 16, 2021 Posted December 16, 2021 I made it much closer to the end than I was expecting with Shania, so I can't be disappointed about a top 5 placement. I've loved exploring her discography from a different perspective than I ever have before throughout the course of this game. Of course it sucks for my fate to be decided by a randomizer but it is what it is. Thank you for hosting @thecptz I had a great time. And please ban the top 5 next season so I'm not tempted to sign up with Shania again!

thecptz Posted December 18, 2021 Author Posted December 18, 2021 ROUND 15 (star quality) ENTRIES SPOTIFY PLAYLIST (stream RED VELVET on YOUTUBE [Per Requested]) Miley Cyrus - Angels Like You (Vocals) Spoiler https://voca.ro/1iJ9UCjbwAS8 Red Velvet - Psycho (Versatility) Spoiler Red Velvet are known best for their versatility; in fact, their name represents their dual concept of fun pop bops with big choruses (Red) and a more mature, sensual R&B side (Velvet). When they come back, fans never know what they're going to get and how they're going to get it - and it sets them apart in a market that is far too predictable. "Psycho" for me perfectly represents the balance of their sounds, the middle point of all their singles. This song is just gargantuan, with the combination of dramatic strings and pulsating cold synths creating a chorus so big it's chill inducing. There is a Spotify version, but I advise listening to the music video version as it has different production with more "oomph": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uR8Mrt1IpXg Taylor Swift - State of Grace (Songwriting) Spoiler Taylor has this ability to create worlds in her songs. Her way of writing music is something that she’s been known for, and it’s definitely something that she excels at. With State of Grace, Taylor tells a story of how love can happen in the most ordinary way but can leave the greatest mark on your life depending on how it ends or survives. The word choices are simple, but it’s how she uses them throughout the song especially during the bridge that makes every section stand out on their own way. Even the two-line chorus paints a clear picture because of how the verses build to it. Taylor’s art of writing vulnerable but honest lyrics is what makes her songs personal and relatable, and it’s one reason why people still look forward to her new music. Tinashe - Party Favors (Dark R&B Production and Imagery) Spoiler The musical area where Tinashe is most known for and excels in is Dark R&B (a sub-genre defined by mood and atmosphere) fused with hip-hop elements. What separates her from her peers is the murky print that is present throughout her discography. From a 2013 vice article, she stated that she didn’t want her music to “come across sweet or nice” despite acknowledging how soft her vocals are. What makes Tinashe unique compared to her peers is she combines her soft vocals with a “dark and heavy” vibe sonically. I chose Party Favors because not only is it the quintessential example of dark R&B with heavy trap inspiration, but it also shows off how well she can vividly depict a hazy/cloudy scenario with the atmosphere provided, just like on Soul Glitch for reference. The song also contains other notable strengths about her music; such as building a club-ready atmosphere, living-in-the-moment lyrics, and sensual vocals all together. Nightride is a landmark dark r&b album that is considered a fan favorite, so it was important for me to pick a representative song from it to show off her strong suits where she’s completely in her element. She’s able to ride DJ produced hip-hop beats effortlessly, and it’s no coincidence that her other fan favorite songs (like 2 On and Bouncin) share similar hip-hop production qualities. All of these features contribute to her music being the ideal fit for late night and after-hours activities whether it’s partying, night driving, doing drugs or having sex. While Tinashe is a genre-blender and has her share of lighter sensual r&b and pop songs, she truly shines like a star in her nocturnal R&B aura. 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 24 hours (9pm ET on saturday 18th) to judge your entries!! @boys @mokitsu @Rence @Tom Vercetti @Overprotected @Dessy @Navyofbadgals @Staryu

Navyofbadgals Posted December 18, 2021 Posted December 18, 2021 I’m on mobile but mildred - hate this song and it’s v overrated but it’s cute to go for a ballad. Think if you wanted to show off vocals there were many better options but you were at least right in choosing something from PH Red velvet - once again proving that they have from what I heard one of the most interesting pop discographies out there. You’ve shown versatility throughout the competition and this one just adds onto it. I like that it’s slightly different from other songs, but also that the versatility is seen within the own song itself, going from these big moments, to simplistic verse deliveries and so on. Great choice Taylor Swift - Great choice!! It’s a beautiful song and the songwriting is amazing, Red is def one of her strongest eras in terms of songwriting, and SOG (along with ATW) still both manage to stand out with ease. They’re that good I fear Tinashe - bit of a less straight forward choice in what type of quality it’s going to embody, but I do think this is a good way of showcasing Tinashe’s control over R&B and how she manages to experiment within the sound without ever going so far as to sound pretentious or to not feel accessible for the everyday listener. This is a great song!! yw @thecptz
