Why did they think this shot was THE serve to keep using it over and over?  Surprised it wasn't the album cover too, which is even worse nnn

From: AND

 

Connoisseurs: D.D.D. (8)
Doubters: Maresia (1)

 

Suilen: I might've tapped my boot to this back in the day, but AND has better offerings.
Curaga: what the hell was that outro with the kids yelling
D.D.D.: i like it when she sang positive ****.
Kyle-x: The adlibs are a fun touch! I despise the part where the beat drops out though.
AMIT: mindnumbing slop.

IT'S MY LIFE was right there and they chose this?  I was a little generous with my score, I fear...

47. GOLDFINGER 2019

 

4.79
From: RE(CORD)

Connoisseurs: Meloetta Carey (9)
Doubters: @Kyle-x (0); prettyinpink940 (1)

 

Suilen: A cover of a cover, and then she also included a cover of the original song on the same album. She couldn't decide which one is better?
Curaga: I thought the bridge was gonna take us somewhere interesting...
D.D.D.: this song feels unnecessary but she did a good job singing it.
Meloetta Carey: this kitchen sink'd masterpiece.
Kyle-x: Girl don't piss me off.
AMIT: this was not on Apple Music for some reason, prob some copywrite issue. anyways I feel like she did the original justice and put her own spice to it, and the original is a classic (thank you, Shrek 2) so I liked the cover overall.
Invisibility: Oh Livin la Vida Loca don't make that sour face when Kuu ate you up.

Will RE(CORD) even survive this round? We'll find out soon enough.

 

 

 

Poor re(cord) is getting eviscerated forreal

LIT getting picked from AND was strange for sure. Party and Got Me Goin' are my favs from that album 

Loving the black and white gifs!

46. BLACK WINGS

 

4.91
From: Technically WINGS...

 

Connoisseurs: Suilen (9)
Doubters: romiskes (1)

 

Suilen: A major bop, k-pop wishes. Let's start recommending this over TABOO.
D.D.D.: better as an interlude.
Meloetta Carey: sounds like something a nugu Blackpink'd gg would do.
Kyle-x: Back to more of the same.
AMIT: these are dark, EDGY wings haha!... another blackpink/aespa reject and we do not need it.

Will never understand why only an interlude version was put on the EP

45. We'll Be OK

 

4.92
From: heart

 

Connoisseurs: prettyinpink940, D.D.D., Deadlocked (8)
Doubters: Maresia (1)

 

Suilen: A Kana'd mess that doesn't make feel like we'll be ok at all. That 1 from Maresia is diabolical, but we've known he's a bit of a fake stan.
Curaga: All these years and no one advises her to stop telling everyone to crap their hands
Kyle-x: I like parts of the cutesy elements to this, maybe we will be OK.
AMIT: cute, but it kinda sounds like a Kana song :deadbanana3:

Better than most of Kana's discography ngl....

44. Dreaming Now!

 

5.00
From: Bon Voyage

 

Connoisseurs: romiskes, Britneyfan09 (10)
Doubters: @Meloetta Carey (0); Deadlocked (1)

 

Suilen: Speaking of Kana, I implore you to listen to this song and tell me that Kana didn't shamelessly rip DN! off. There are other songs that sound similarly, too. I think Meloetta was up to something with Kana owing her career to miss Kumiko as both her ballads and uptempos ultimately stem from the sexy-cute icon, and this explains why Maresia is perpetually pressed. Anyway, I'd say that I never really liked Dreaming Now! and always preferred the b-side, but in hindsight, it isn't that terrible.
Curaga: The bridge is the most interesting part...
D.D.D.: a horrible world cup song.
Meloetta Carey: maybe it's a good thing Lorde killed this style of music.
Kyle-x: Here is where this sound started to kind of lose its appeal for me, but it was a nice effort!
AMIT: super generic, I hate it.
Invisibility: I can appreciate a fun slice of dated EDM or a tropibop here and there, but this is just more than a little underproduced and a bit sad and soggy. It's in no rush to make any sort of lasting impression.
Deadlocked: Would be a fantastic fit on Dua Lipa's album Future Optimism.

That score and this comment, poor Dua

 

Anywho, I think this is a cute effort! One of her best choreographies.

Not more Kana-Kumi lore

 

Oh wow, I don't remember this song being anything like the way this choreo looks 

 

 

(I was listening to the songs on elimination, but I'm on a call with my friend now, sorry )

43. DO ME

 

5.17
From: RE(CORD)

 

Connoisseurs: Curaga, romiskes (10)
Doubters: @Britneyfan09 (0); Maresia, Deadlocked (1)

 

Suilen: It's by no means a masterpiece, but there's something catchy about it. 
Curaga: this The Fame tea... She kinda ended Starstruck
D.D.D.: my fav hoodrat song.
Kyle-x: The vocal effects are fun!
AMIT: idk this reminds me of those grating early 10s kpop boy group singles.
Invisibility: I can't with the way her voice is processed and thrashed in multiple incriminating ways here.
Deadlocked: May as well be renamed to 2016 because this is 2016 music at its...best? Or should I say worst? Dunno.

It's like Ney somehow gained access to Curaga's comment, saw Gaga mentioned and immediately slapped a 0 on it.

This is just bad. I'm sorry @Curaga 

Misunderstood bop!

 

42. HUSH

 

5.20
From: DNA

 

Connoisseurs: Invisibility (9.5)
Doubters: romiskes, AMIT (1)

 

Suilen: A trashy bop. I'm a bit of an AND/DNA connoisseur, and I think they were her last decent full albums. There was some soundcloudery about them for sure, but they still felt like proper re(cords).
D.D.D.: she brought the fire indeed.
Kyle-x: Cute.
AMIT: this is like a bad kpop song parody, yikes.
Invisibility: This would get full marks with better verses. I can never shake the feeling that the bass/brass sounds like a fart in them jsjdjfndnsks.

DNA is the second album to be out.

 

 

42. HUSH (5.20)

Oh wow, I was anticipating this to be quite well liked and much higher. Surprising.

The last one for today is a bit controversial, with 2 0s. Some will happy to see it leave, some will be in mourning.
