tournament Diversity 5: Let's Celebrate! | Winner revealed (pg.154)

[Euterpe]

Belated critiques from last round since last round went much quicker than I anticipated! 
 

Björk - Hidden Place (from Vespertine)

Do I like it? Okay, this song is my vibe. Kind of like Digital Daggers but not??? Feeling it.

 

Christina Aguilera - Still Dirrty (from Back to Basics)

Do I like it? I like it! Though I wish the instrumental was a little lower compared to her voice.

 

Demi Lovato - Every Time You Lie (from Here We Go Again)

Do I like it? It’s kind of like Natasha Bedingfield. I’m not a huge fan.

 

Miley Cyrus - WTF Do I Know (from Plastic Hearts)

Do I like it? This was enjoyable!

 

Solange - Don't You Wait (from A Seat at the Table)

Do I like it? It’s okay

ROUND THIRTEEN CRITIQUES
 

Björk - Hidden Place (from Vespertine): So intricate and gorgeous. One of her very best! Definitely the entry here that really “brought it” the most so kudos for that

Christina Aguilera - Still Dirrty (from Back to Basics): The instrumental to this sounds like you left your car running at the circus and everything else is all over the place so I am just… not a fan at all

Demi Lovato - Every Time You Lie (from Here We Go Again): Such a bop! Jazz Pop queen, ate this man up at only sixteen

Miley Cyrus - WTF Do I Know (from Plastic Hearts): Haven’t listened to this one in a while, it’s different and more punky than I remembered? Pretty good, but hoped it would hit harder

Solange - Don't You Wait (from A Seat at the Table): One of my faves on ASATT!! True EP vibes. The production is so punchy and I love the pre-/chorus melody and harmonies

Björk - Hidden Place (from Vespertine): The only classic song here. You will be rewarded for this. 

 

Christina Aguilera - Still Dirrty (from Back to Basics): A bit disappointing. Like where are the hits? This is not even close as good as its prequel i'm afraid.

 

Demi Lovato - Every Time You Lie (from Here We Go Again): Similar to Xtina, I feel there were stronger opportunities available. This just sounds like random filler to me and not as appealing as Got Dynamite from this same album. 

 

Miley Cyrus - WTF Do I Know (from Plastic Hearts): It's okay. Not really into how shouty she sounds with her current voice. Song does get better as it goes on so there's that. 

 

Solange - Don't You Wait (from A Seat at the Table): It's good enough. Not amazing but it has interesting enough production to stand out compared to some of her competition.

Björk - Hidden Place (from Vespertine)

The song's melody is like a combination of uplifting and melancholic tunes that create a mysterious and almost dreamlike atmosphere. We live for the top-notch production of the song. 

 

Christina Aguilera - Still Dirrty (from Back to Basics)

I guess they were trying to do a more polished and refined version of Dirrty. The sultry/seductive tone of the song is still there but the song lacks the punch that the former song had. 

 

Demi Lovato - Every Time You Lie (from Here We Go Again)

I love how the song started with a somber piano melody but it got lighter as the song progressed. There were some cute moments but there were also some meh moments.

 

Miley Cyrus - WTF Do I Know (from Plastic Hearts)

The song was very energetic and very confident. Her vocals were strong and assertive enough to match the song's playful tone. I like this now more than I remembered.

 

Solange - Don't You Wait (from A Seat at the Table)

The beats were very hypnotic, the gradual build-up really drawing me in more to the song. Is it better than Cranes? Maybe not, but I still enjoyed the song regardless.

ELEMENT'S CRITIQUES
 

Björk - Hidden Place (from Vespertine)

Wow, this is stunning!! It feels like such a raw and tribal journey. I want to watch the movie of this song.

 

Christina Aguilera - Still Dirrty (from Back to Basics)

I definitely am surprised to not see Hurt here tbh. I also feel like some of Lotus could have done well for me personally but it's been awhile since I've listened. The intro definitely. Still Dirrty is a bit fun at times, but it doesn't stick with me. I wish that there was some more variation in the bridge or final chorus.

 

Demi Lovato - Every Time You Lie (from Here We Go Again)

I'm extremely perplexed by this choice. This is not an entry for the final 5 imo... maybe it would have done okay early on. I am also an Unbroken truther and would have LOVED to see All Night Long, Unbroken, Fix a Heart, Skyscaper, In Real Life, FTLOAD... like this is cute but pretty corny idk

 

Miley Cyrus - WTF Do I Know (from Plastic Hearts)

Smash!! A good choice from a great album. Surprised it wasn't Gimme, but I'll take this.

 

Solange - Don't You Wait (from A Seat at the Table)

This was really nice! I liked the layered production. Beautiful delivery as well.

SING-OFF RESULTS

 

first off to the judges table again, it's her, miss Ally Brooke!

here's what she had to say:

Quote

-

SHE DRAGGED YALL SO HARD!!! jk she said nothing

but she did say who she wanted to vote for and it's.....

Christina Aguilera!

 

next up please welcome to the stage, judge Lexie Liu!

here's what she had to say:

Quote

-

AGAIN? welp, at least it's better than not giving us our vote...

she ended up picking one person and that is....

Christina Aguilera!

 

that makes it 2-0 with christina leading... gasps!

 

walking in, it's miss just-release-a-least-personal-album Ellie Goulding!

here's what she had to say:

Quote

- Christina: Excellent display of her vocal prowess! The other accoutrements of the performance were engaging and entertaining too.

 

- Demi: I really loved the staging, colors, and energy of this performance! She commanded things like the song deserved, with strong vocals to match. This brought me a lot of nostalgia for summers gone by!

a praise, a praise all around   so yea i feel like both of u gave a great performance!!!

but anyways, it's not about ME, its about miss ellie goulding

and the person she saved is..... Demi Lovato!

 

2-1.. with Sean Paul and Caroline Polachek left, ooooh what's gonna happen?

we're gonna start with, judge Sean Paul!

here's what he had to say:

Quote

Idk

Even for me

OH WOW..... so yes he did choose based on his small preference on staging/presence

but i will keep that hush hush for now, giggles

 

let's hear it from her, miss Caroline Polachek!

here's what she had to say:

Quote

I really liked both

Christina: This was super dynamic and her vocals were on point the whole time

Demi: Throughout this game I’ve been skeptical of performances to crowds as noisy as this one so I was really impressed by her still demanding so much attention with her stage presence (edited)

oh queen of (edited), so TRUE.

bbz: caroline, it's time to vote.

caroline: no, idk gimme a minute.

 

GASPS okay that is fine

 

caroline: i'm ready now.
