Staryu Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 ty judges, feeing my lowest ranking, possible bottom 3 coming even tho this is one of my favorite Carly songs
Tom Vercetti Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Billie Eilish - Halley's Comet: Decent theme fit. Was a bit bored by this song overall but the middle portion of the song was fine. Björk - All Is Full Of Love: Good fit. Dead ass classic right here. Carly Rae Jepsen - Now That I Found You: It's def happy/love vibe. I remember when this & no drug were released together. Always preferred this one! Charli XCX - ILY2: Yeah I get this choice. I think the production saves this song from being generic. Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man: I can see this being dedicated to a valentine I suppose & it's memorable for the most part. Demi Lovato - My Love Is Like a Star: Never heard this before but I like it for this round. Doja Cat - Say So: I don't think this is a great love song fit really. Quality wise not bad but overplayed. Esperanza Spalding - Crowned & Kissed: From the title alone, I figured it's appropriate for the round theme wise. Song wise she's good here vocally. Production is a little iffy though. FKA twigs - thank you song: I think it's a good enough fit for this round considering the limited options she had. Song wise I never really paid much attention to this song last year, but it's hitting here now. Foxes - Amazing: It sounds happy and it's about love so it fits the bill. I kinda like it for this round. Kesha - Your Love Is My Drug: About time you used her classics that's on topic. Let me reward. Miley Cyrus - Adore You: Haven't heard this in such a while. Never really cared for it as a song but it's a valentine fit for sure. P!nk - Love Is Such a Crazy Thing: Good song for this round. Shygirl - Wildfire: An interesting approach. I was worried for her this round but this is lyrically her most on theme for the round. I wish it sounded more happy but song wise it's great. Solange - Crush: It's as people say, cute. The song itself is fine. Usher - My Boo: Another classic alert. Not too on the nose either. Yerin Baek - lovelovelove: It fits. Think this song was a little too slow/loungey for my taste. judge entry: best I could come up with @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

Kinich Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 『h』『i』『k』『a』『r』『i』 『h』『a』『s』 『s』『h』『*』『t』 『t』『o』 『s』『a』『y』 Billie Eilish - Halley's Comet Love the song, it's quite romantic and that's good enough for me x Björk - All Is Full Of Love Another lovely song, it is not as quite direct as the some of the songs here but I get it. Carly Rae Jepsen - Now That I Found You Bubblier than the previous two but that had always been her songs' charm. Very cute choice! Charli XCX - ILY2 Another cute song, kinda forgot about it actually but we're bopping again. Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man Pulling out the big guns this round, this song had always been a fave of mine. Demi Lovato - My Love Is Like a Star I mean yeah sure the song does have that romantic feel and I did quite enjoy the song. Doja Cat - Say So Not really sure if it fit the theme but hey I still bopped to it x Esperanza Spalding - Crowned & Kissed I really liked this tbh, it's very sweet. Something about is very charming to me. FKA twigs - thank you song I like that it's something different. Maybe I need more time with the chorus but the song's nice overall. Foxes - Amazing Yes it's not as direct as some other songs here but you feel that she's talking about someone here. I really like the song a lot. Kesha - Your Love Is My Drug Well, let's give you your deserved flowers for sending this classic x Miley Cyrus - Adore You Yes it's very much fitting, not as crazy about it now as before but it's still good. P!nk - Love Is Such a Crazy Thing This does give 90s girl group rnb vibes. I quite liked it. Shygirl - Wildfire Lyrically, it did fit the theme. The vibes tho are different than most of the entries here. That could be a good thing. Solange - Crush I mean everyone else had said it, it was cute. A dose of cuteness cant and wont harm anyone. Usher - My Boo Yes we love storytelling! Loved this as a kid, love it until now. Yerin Baek - lovelovelove I mean it's a pretty song, just a lil bit too somber at times.

Delirious Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 THANK YOU TO EVERY JUDGE! YOUR WORK AND JUDGING IS VERY APPRECIATED I WILL TAKE A MORE HEAD ON APPROACH NOW WITH THE THEMES Im surprised every judge liked Amazing tho. It's always been a favorite of mine but it's very underrated.
ATRL Moderator Element Posted February 17, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted February 17, 2023 ELEMENT'S CRITIQUES stream Love I'm Given x Billie Eilish - Halley's Comet Thematically, a pretty good choice if not a bit sparse lyrically. For me, this song is not super engaging until the last verse. Björk - All Is Full Of Love HOLD AWN i really really enjoyed this!! It had such a refreshing balance of ethereal yet intense. The melody was so beautiful! Great choice and perfect fit for the theme. Carly Rae Jepsen - Now That I Found You Mega bop! I think this is pretty high up in my Carly rankings actually. And of course a perfect, euphoric example for the theme! Charli XCX - ILY2 Overall, I liked this!! Very catchy hook and the production was fun. Theme = slayed. Christina Aguilera - Ain't No Other Man I feel like this was a fun way to show the theme: sharing your excitement and love with other people. Definitely a classic that I enjoy. Nice choice! Demi Lovato - My Love Is Like a Star Wow, I remember vibing a lot to this back in 2011! She had some great songs on this album. I would say that I mostly am still enjoying it, but a lot of these other contestants are bringing their A game this round. Doja Cat - Say So I feel like this entry is more flirtatious and playful than it is about love?? It has some elements of the theme for sure but it feels a bit off. It’s a mega bop ofc (although I think the radio overexposure kind of watered it down for me). Esperanza Spalding - Crowned & Kissed I think this is pretty solid for the theme. I feel like I enjoy this song, but maybe more in the context of a movie scene. FKA twigs - thank you song A pretty song and it works so well as an album closer! Interesting take on the theme, but I think it works. Foxes - Amazing Hmmm… IDK if I am buying this for the theme. I see where the interpretation could be coming from, but it almost feels more like she’s at the initial phase. The potential is there for love, but it’s not fully realized. I enjoyed the song a lot though! It’s very lovely and poppy. Kesha - Your Love Is My Drug Consumed. Miley Cyrus - Adore You When I clicked play on this, I was thinking oh yeah this song was kind of boring way back when (but still nice)… and I am here now…. to say… that it actually is lovely. I was enjoying the atmosphere quite a bit! Thematically strong too. P!nk - Love Is Such a Crazy Thing Okayyyyyy whatever Hiccup wasn’t doing for me, this song IS! Loved the distorted Y2K production. Chorus melody was good too. Thematically successful — great job. Shygirl - Wildfire I think this fits decently. It has a few references to not knowing the person/just flirting at the beginning, so it’s not as strong an example as others. Did I enjoy it?…. It was only ok for me. Solange - Crush This entry is good for the theme but I do find that it focuses a bit more on flirting and the initial phases of a potential romance. IDK if I get true love out of it, but it’s on the border. I was absolutely bopping though. Love the production and her voice fits so nicely! Usher - My Boo The perspective is definitely unique. I think overall it works pretty well still. Enjoyable. Yerin Baek - lovelovelove This fits the theme for sure! I liked it but it did get a bit boring at times. @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
Delirious Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Thank you Element for the critique. I will be more head on next time
Dessy Posted February 17, 2023 Posted February 17, 2023 Not someone switching on the song itself. Help
DevonRoars Posted February 18, 2023 Posted February 18, 2023 Feeling not safe for a while, ty judges but honestly Doja has no sincere songs about love that don’t include explicit sexual references. I thought Say So would be the cutest for the theme.
