Here's yours just because you seem interested :p Buyonce1814 - Garden of Eden (Fairy) I really appreciate that you went with one of the uncommon types! I really really liked your song. At parts, the song's type could be confused with grass because of the imagery you used, but at the same time it makes sense because fairies are related to forests and yeah. To me this was a sad yet beautiful way to represent the loss of a loved one. My only problem with the song would be that the bridge didn't feel as delicate and poetic as the verses and chorus, so it felt a little anticlimatic. If you work on it a little more I think you would get a great song! Congratulations! To me you were one of the 6 entries I actually felt that embodied their respective type and made a good song. Keep it up!

Keep it up! Omg wow . This review really made my day. I'm so glad you really liked it . I'll definitely try to keep it up. I was a bit unsure whether I embodied my type just because the lines blur between grass/fairy/flying so I was low-key tempted to just say normal but I'm glad I stuck with fairy. I'll keep mind of the bridge comment and make sure to be more cohesive throughout the whole song for Round 3.

That's what I was looking for in this round. Great and consistent imagery with some good and clever metaphors. Thanks for doing it! I will say that the start was not as strong as the rest of the song because I didn't get a clue of the water type on the first verse so at first I thought the song would be another disappointment. But it picked up and ended up being really good! I really liked the narrative you used during the song and the little changes you used during the chorus to switch things up a bit and give closure to the story. The outro was perfect. I couldn't have asked for a better way to end with the song. Congratulations! To me you were one of the 6 entries I actually felt that embodied their respective type and made a good song. Keep it up!
mxtthewdelrey Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Last week: water themed song - the other judges give it mediocre views and @keshaspearsxo loves it This week: non-water themed song - @Aurora loves it and pears is critical What I have learned: write every song about water am a bIT disappointed with #16 cause i worked super hard on writing something meaningful and i felt like I was applying critique as opposed to doing the **** i usually do, but life goes on! thank you so much @Aurora for your overwhelmingly positive review, it meant a lot to me !

Cupid - The Life You Should Have Known (Psychic) As I expressed my opinion with Hug and funnel, I feel like this song was well done but it was not fitting for what I look for on a challenge like this. I know you said on your description you wanted to go on a more subtle way but I really look forward seeing how all of you incorporate metaphors and imagery that are related to the type you choose. It's your choice to make it over the top or not. The clunkiness would also be determined by how well you incorporate these elements on the song and make them cohesive. During the chorus you mentioned "a teary gaze in the minds eye" and "all your dreams in vivid colour" these are great examples of how you can incorporate your element without going over the top. These lines are great. But these examples were the only lines that gave me an actual feeling of the psychic type. If you would've incorporated more of these I feel like you could've been one of the stronger entries for me because your skills are really good and the subject of your song was really good too. Again, it was not a bad song, it just didn't fulfill my expectations for what I look for on this challenge.
beatinglikeadrum Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Omg. My first top 20. I feel sooo happy. Let me have a shot of tequila. Or two.

Thanks, I totally understand and kinda expected these comments, I definitely took a different approach with the challenge. I tried to use some words relating to the type, the first verse had spirit/future, the second verse had crystal(lized), the 3rd verse had vision, the 4th one had a palm reading reference and fortune. I think those all relate to my Psychic type? I was just trying to make them fit naturally. I'll work on it for next round!

I don't want to come across as if I wanted you to change your songwriting I just feel like you can still incorporate these elements with the subtlety you were looking for and you did that during the examples I mentioned and the ones you just told me about. I just wish you would've played with those ideas a little more throughout the song. But believe me, I just want to see you grow and explore differente facets of your skills. I really really enjoyed your entry last week so I know you are capable of making great songs. I'm just trying to motivate you to expand your horizons! Edited May 31, 2017 by ughgabriel

Lucky#17 Posted May 31, 2017 Posted May 31, 2017 Oh wow - thanks to the judges for the rankings! Hopefully I can get even higher next round, but I'll stick with the nice jump for now.

You were my first ever PH friend (along with ceremonials) so I'm excited to see you slay And @Lane Boy too, the way I read your entry and didn't have much to say because I was honestly kinda scalped by it! I knew it'd rank super high. Also perched for your slayage since you said you started writing in November and that's about when I started writing too Thanks so much, I really appreciate it.

Maybe the next challenge I can showcase where I am with my new software! (I'm like SUPER EXCITED about finally having this!) And thank you all who congratulated me and the judges, too! Congrats to UFO & ceremonials for the top 2 spots! With such a small margin, it would be ludicrous to not congratulate you both! Thank you! 9 hours ago, Corsola said: Ok so congrats @UFO!
