tournament Golden Hit: Season 1 📀 Congrats to 8thPrince and Jackson!! 🏆🏆

[Remmy]

Island Records approved the song so we're about to send it in!! So even if the judges or GP disapprove at least a legit record label gave their blessing, not everyone can get that *emoji with silly face & tongue sticking out*

SCHEDULE ANNOUNCEMENT

 

This week, the round 2 results show will be happening on Sunday as opposed to Saturday. I personally will be busy on Saturday so won't be able to be present for them if we carry them out on Saturday, and in general it may be better to have more breathing space between the challenge deadline and the results show as to not put as much strain on the judges having to review and score 30+ entries in only 2 days. We obviously don't want to rush those things but it can also be hard to juggle with other responsibilities as it is quite time consuming due to the engagement with the game which is higher than we initially expected (but something we are thankful for!). The good thing about this: everything else will remain the same. The deadline for round 2 will still be Thursday 11:59PM EDT and round 3 will still be posted as planned on Saturday, there will just be a little overlap with the rounds as results for round 2 won't happen until Sunday (right now we are expecting this to be about 6-7PM EDT). Since I'm busy on Saturday you'll be getting my full reviews on Friday morning, so this should help make up for it; I'll also be preparing picture hints again as people seemed to enjoy when I did it for round 1.

 

Right now, we are just trialling this out for the current week, but if it is beneficial then we may decide to stick to this schedule moving forward.

 

Thank you for being understanding!

It was so nice of her to travel all the way from Norway specifically to collaborate with you on this song  Golden Hit making great things happen 

[Legend E]

I was considering "rewriting" a line from a previous Kelly song, would that be allowed?

 

Also, is it allowed to name drop a few past songs?

No problem with either

How is the scoring working for this round? Like if we write a song that you think is good but doesn’t suit our chosen artist, will we be penalized for that?

[RobDeWittBukater]

Submitted  The pre-chorus for this one took me ages and even now I'm still not wholly satisfied but at some point you just gotta let it go

Not exactly “penalised” per say, but the relevancy to the challenge at hand is definitely taken into consideration, as with every round. There were many entries last round that I thought should have incorporated elements more, and that does impact scores somewhat, but ultimately a good song is going to get a pretty good score regardless. It’s a little more open to interpretation this round since we won’t be familiar with every single artist and why you have chosen them and how you think your song represents them, but it still does have an effect. I imagine it will be lesser this round since it’s much more subjective, but the overall impression remains the same, which is that we want entries to tackle the challenge and if we don’t feel they do then it can impact scoring to a degree.

She was in the states for a little album promo actually! Otherwise we would've probably had to do it over Zoom or whatever

now as for It Gets Dark being her BEST song... that's interesting  We love her tracklist openers though! (not including the Raw EP)

[GentleDance]

Songs you're looking forward to?

 

Joni, Lana, Kate Bush, Pink Floyd, Mariah, Bruce, and the Taylor ones for my part

Nobody picked any of my faves 

 

But I am looking forward to Fiona, Kate and Joni just based off their status alone.

As we all should 

 

There’s a lot of ways it could be taken picking her, you could write a really fun and sarcastic song, or you could also go for something really poetic and touching. She could do both and I love both
