Delirious Posted February 15, 2023 Posted February 15, 2023 Good choices. This one will be hard to eliminate
Euterpe Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 For the theme, the only focus was on lyrics, so keep this in mind. @K$Ellie @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @EscapismRoars @ATRL Username @Touch It @Delirious @Lucky#17 @wish @Rotunda @minho @Not Like The Movies @Dessy @Alena Billie Eilish - Halley's Comet Fitting? Yes. Do I like it? I like that it kind of reminds me a lullaby, but I don’t like that the song doesn’t really go anywhere; it’s pretty stagnant. Björk - All Is Full Of Love Fitting? It’s an interesting take on closing yourself off to love in general, but it’s about love, so it fits. Do I like it? I wasn’t a fan of the first half, but I liked the second half. Carly Rae Jepsen - Now That I Found You Fitting? For the most part, I feel like it fits the theme. Do I like it? It’s cute. I wouldn’t listen to it again, but it’s not bad. Charli XCX - ILY2 Fitting? Yes. Do I like it? Yes, I do! Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man Fitting? This is midway, because it veers on possessiveness rather than about her being really in love with the person. Do I like it? It’s still a decent song; I like it enough. Demi Lovato - My Love Is Like a Star Fitting? Yes. Do I like it? Yeah, she can sing very well. Doja Cat - Say So Fitting? While there is a half chorus mentioning and being about love, the rest of the song is more about sex or the guy wanting to have sex with her, so I don’t think this completely fits the bill. Do I like it? Yes, it’s a classic. Esperanza Spalding - Crowned & Kissed Fitting? For the most part, though I do question whether love in this sense means making love, but with the king and queen metaphors, it could be love in the sense of the round, but it’s hard to tell. Do I like it? I like it, but I wish she changed her higher notes throughout the song to be an octave lower, because it would’ve sounded better that way. FKA twigs - thank you song Fitting? Yes, the repeated lines of the other person caring about her make it clear with the combined love lines. Do I like it? I really enjoyed the verses, but wasn’t a big fan of how the chorus and bridges were composed. Foxes - Amazing Fitting? This song was not as clear as I wanted it to be for the challenge, unfortunately. Do I like it? I actually really enjoyed this! Kesha - Your Love Is My Drug Fitting? Yes. Do I like it? Yeah, it’s fun; the beginning of the bridge is the best part. Miley Cyrus - Adore You Fitting? Yes. Do I like it? Yes! P!nk - Love Is Such a Crazy Thing Fitting? Yes. Do I like it? I like it in a throwback kind of way. Shygirl - Wildfire Fitting? I can see where the essence for the challenge is, but it’s not as clear and stated regarding love as I would have liked. Do I like it? I liked this a lot. Solange - Crush Fitting? For the most part, yes. Do I like it? This was really cute; I liked listening to it. Usher - My Boo Fitting? I liked the fact that this took me through a whole story, and I think it’s a good example of a song being about love and not needing the word to justify it like a couple other songs out there. Alicia being on the song didn’t take away that Usher sang those lyrics, so I don’t see that being a knock. Do I like it? Yes, I do like this classic. Yerin Baek - lovelovelove Fitting? Yes, I’d say so. Do I like it? This is such a wedding song, so I kind of like it, but I’m also meh.
Delirious Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 (edited) Glad you enjoyed amazing!! It's amazing! But how is amazing not fitting for the theme i- the whole song is about love When I look at you the drums all start beating And I just don't know if I'm ready or not, to do it all again See, I got a wild heart and I can't control it It keeps on letting me down I know, with you, tonight could be amazing Be amazing I'm scared, to death, still I stood here waiting Here waiting Do what you want (Do what you want) Take a hold of me (Do what you want) 'Cause my heart keeps saying With a touch, you bring me back to life I'm rising And I don't even know if I'll survive, but I'm all in See, I got a wild heart and I can't control it (Do what you wanna, oh, my heart keeps telling me) Take a hold of me 'Cause my heart keeps saying That you're all I need You're all I need Edited February 16, 2023 by Delirious

Sanguine Posted February 16, 2023 Posted February 16, 2023 ROUND FIVE CRITIQUES Almost all of the songs fit well so I didn't have much to say heh Billie Eilish - Halley's Comet: Fits pretty well. Song is a highlight on HTE! Björk - All Is Full Of Love: The lyrics to this are really beautiful and fit the theme perfectly. The single edit is the one on the playlist, not sure if that was intentional but it's better than the original jhfgfh so yay for that! Pretty song, her vocals on it are gorgeous Carly Rae Jepsen - Now That I Found You: Solid pick, over half of her discog would prob fit the theme lol but I think this was one of your best options regardless. A good song too but not a discography high or anything, wears thin after too many listens Charli XCX - ILY2: Explicit and straightforward, I like the perspective too. Also an underrated bop! Love the production Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man: Explicit and straightforward [2] + banger alert! Demi Lovato - My Love Is Like a Star: A more melancholic approach here but it works and I like that about it. There are elements to this I enjoy but overall meh on it Doja Cat - Say So: This seems more like she's frustrated with her lover than anything tbh. Song is cute, always found it a bit overrated but the production is really smooth and the rap verse hits Esperanza Spalding - Crowned & Kissed: Yeah this is also a pretty direct one. Song's nice, has a nostalgic feeling to it FKA twigs - thank you song: I like this approach a lot, being thankful for someone rather than infatuated with them. It's good, especially the chorus Foxes - Amazing: Works for me, may not be SUPER specific about the affection of love but overall it's clearly got joy and excitement for this person in the lyrics so I wouldn't say it's overly vague. A big bop too Kesha - Your Love Is My Drug: No notes for this classic choice! Miley Cyrus - Adore You: Obvious one since the entire song is basically her worshipping this guy. Loved this more when it came out but it's still lovely! P!nk - Love Is Such a Crazy Thing: Pretty direct fit [86] song is kinda cute Shygirl - Wildfire: It's rare to hear a more vulnerable song from her like this, again it fits the theme. Great song, loooove the hook and atmosphere Solange - Crush: Another obvious fit lol sorry I don't have much to say for most of these! I like it too but feels a smidge dated Usher - My Boo: Hmm... a little different than the other entries, I think it's still pretty good? Not sure if it's really "happy love" but I do like the thematics of "we're not together anymore but we've still got some love for each other." Song is a classic Yerin Baek - lovelovelove: Like Demi's there's a hint of gloominess but that aspect makes the entry work in a way too. Can't say I loved this though :( @K$Ellie @CBC @Staryu @Future Lover @Auburn @Noah @EscapismRoars @ATRL Username @Touch It @Delirious @Lucky#17 @wish @Rotunda @minho @Not Like The Movies @Dessy @Alena
