poki Posted May 30, 2023 Author Posted May 30, 2023 Will post results + comments today. If The Color Game critiques are a merry-go-round, then this is a rollercoaster doing loops and 180* turns at 500MPH with no seatbelts
poki Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 Hey everyone! R1 results are here! SAFE #3 - Mariah Carey - Emotions by fountain! SCORE: 8 SCORES: 9.5 8.5 8 x2 6 COMMENTS: * Not bad. The whistle notes are amazing. Mariah has stronger options, especially for this decade, but still a good choice. #4 - Natalie Imbruglia - Torn by musicloverdude! SCORE: 7.325 SCORES: 10 x2 8.3 1 COMMENTS: * The worst song ever. * Now THIS is a timeless classic! Forever iconic. You win. * That’s the same case when it comes to „Crush” - cute, overplayed pop song. But when it comes to emotions - Natalie ATE. It is some kind of song which brings you calm and relief. Brillant. #5 - Livin' Joy - Dreamer by dejmieeen! SCORE: 7.2 SCORES: 8.5 7.3 7 6 COMMENTS: * I wish I liked this more but the production didn't mix well with the vocals that sounded off-key at times. It can be a bop in the right context but in a decade that is full of SO many eurodance bops there were definitely better options to go with. #6 - Monica - Angel of Mine by fierceE! SCORE: 6.75 SCORES: 9 7.5 6 4.5 COMMENTS: * Easily Monica's best hit #7 - I Think I'm Paranoid - Garbage by technicolor! SCORE: 6.075 SCORES: 7 x2 6 4.3 COMMENTS: * Pretty cute, I think I might prefer it to the other Garbage song but they’re pretty level for me. I’m not familiar with either which is interesting. * Much better than previous song by Garbage. It’s a little bit Harder and it makes it more interesting. But I think I don’t like the vocals. #8 - Jennifer Paige - Crush by sugarshine! SCORE: 6.025 SCORES: 10 5 x2 4.1 COMMENTS: * Timeless classic. * Definitely the most boppy and catchiest out of this bunch. It’s an ear worm but quite dated tho. * Pop essential, classic me think. But firstly - It’s overplayed, secondly - this song is cute but nothing special tbh. @Julia Fox @Allday @sugarshine @Technicolor @MusicLoverDude @fiercE @dejmieeen @fountain @Raphy23 @prézli The mixed reactions Didn't expect the Natalie shade Top 2 and bottom 2 SOON What do you predict? 1
poki Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 * The worst song ever. * Now THIS is a timeless classic! Forever iconic. You win. 1
poki Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 TOP 2! Congratulations to @Raphy23! #1 - Oasis - Champagne Supernova SCORE: 9.5 SCORES: 10 x2 9 x2 COMMENTS: * At first I thought you were a fool for not sending Wonderwall but this song is also really good #2 - TLC - Waterfalls by @prézli! SCORE: 8.825 SCORES: 9.5 9 8.8 8 COMMENTS: A classic that can get played at the grocery store and still sound great. TOP RADIO HEAD RADIO SCORE: 8.055 LIPS 106 SCORE: 5.715 LOW + ELIMINATION: Spoiler #9 - TLC - No Scrubs by Julia Fox! SCORE: 5.35 SCORES: 8 7.4 5 1 COMMENTS: * So, yeah the song is a 90s classic, but if we’re being real the hook is honestly pretty annoying. Like, after just listening to this song now, I could very happily not hear it again for another year. Or longer. * This song songs both modern and old-school in the same time, so I think this is what a masterpiece should be. But to be fair - it’s not my favourite TLC song, so „only” 8. Which means #10 - Garbage - When I Grow Up by Allday! SCORE: 3.8 SCORES: 6 3.2 3 x2 COMMENTS: * This is cute. Easy to listen to but doesn’t really stand out to me too much, though. But maybe because I don’t recognise it so I’m not feeling the nostalgia. But I like it anyway. * At the beginning sounds like one of those boring slow alternative songs, I am surprised that it doesn’t sound like this at all. It screams 90’s but in the way I don’t like. Meh. Sadly we have to say goodbye to @Allday @Julia Fox @Allday @sugarshine @Technicolor @MusicLoverDude @fiercE @dejmieeen @fountain @Raphy23 @prézli
poki Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 (edited) Didn't expect No Scrubs at #9 but hello Waterfalls #2! And Oasis WOW didn't expect that! Edited May 31, 2023 by PoKiTaurus
fountain Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 Yeah deserved win for Oasis, if I was on the other team and was scoring that song I also would have given it a 10. Masterpiece. I’m pleasantly surprised to see that it was well received since I didn’t think it would be to most ATRLers taste! Also happy to be top 3, yes Mariah yes bop yes whistle yes classic
Alldeezy Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 I can never past the first round on these games but I was against so many classics so I knew i'd be out. guess ya lucky i'd probably would of ended up sending a Tom song anyways if it was 2010s related.

Also happy to be top 3, yes Mariah yes bop yes whistle yes classic It's one of my fave songs ever, but I was super worried sending it in for this reason. but I just went with my gut. Also I missed the voting 1
fiercE Posted May 31, 2023 Posted May 31, 2023 I'm so confused on the scoring, why is there only 4 points on all the songs except Mariah's? Remix
poki Posted May 31, 2023 Author Posted May 31, 2023 Wait why does Mariah have 5 votes When I did it on Excel every song had 4 votes so the math is correct

But hey, the song makes me happy and I'll sneak it into a lineup of songs from the 2020s because I just really enjoy it. Glad it worked out for me and glad you did well with Waterfalls 1
