ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted October 2, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2023 Thank you judge CBC!  This seems like the most unpredictable round, none of the judges seem to really agree with each other.  Makes it exciting to see what the final results will be!

ATRL Moderator khalyan Posted October 2, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2023 3 minutes ago, Hey Dude said: Wait.   As it was pointed out, Nothing Fails apparently has a radio edit that is different than the version I sent. Mariah has the album version of Whenever You Call while this version was a single.  Why is Nothing Fails not allowed then. The officially released version is shorter by a minute then the version I sent.   Why is Whenever You Called allowed and Nothing Fails is not?  I think there is some debate regarding how a promo single should be counted. To me, a promo single is not an actual single and should be eligible for the non singles round. Mariah’s song was a promo I believe but never fully serviced. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cause that's why I sent it. I love that part the most.  Bump 'cause that mumble part is unique, so wouldn't that be part of the bridge as well?  And so far it seems like my first review is based on the shortened version from the Tumblr link.  And that part is excluded from the tumblr link.

The final chorus which has vocodered vocals along with M's? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

poki Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 This is all coming from a desire to stay in the game btw. I DON'T want to be sent home or be like "I quit, Madonna outsold anyways".  But it would be good to get confirmation on the Mariah track cause that DOES raise an eyebrow let's be real. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kern Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Mind you some players actually wrote to game master and asked if their promo singles are okay and he said no. The rest were just to lazy to check whether their entry is a promo single and if it even has a bridge. Points deducted, now moving on Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MusicLoverDude Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 MLD's Critiques  @Queen. - Nicki Minaj - Va Va Voom Yes. Very much a slay. Attitude, swagger, flirtatious bodaciousness. Elevates the song and makes the final chorus more anthemic. Just, fantastic choice.  @blackoutbaby - Rihanna - California King Bed This is a good choice. I wouldn't say its the best however. You actually could have submitted for the non-singles instead and used Fire Bomb, which would have secured a higher score from me. Still, California King Bed in the singles department works because the guitar remains consistently good, Rihanna's vocals remain consistent as well and it keeps you going into the last chorus.  @khalyan- Jessica Simpson - I Wanna Love You Forever This was your best option. And it works. Jessica, while she flops at hitting these notes live, actually managed to do it in the studio so it does give it more power heading into the final chorus. So, you're still holding on! Good job!  @Dessy Ciara - 1, 2 Step You've been on quite the streak with me lately. Another solid entry. 1,2 Step is iconic for a reason. Every part of it slays and the bridge is no exception.  @Psycho Kylie Minogue - All the Lovers I do love all these Kylie songs. This is a good song. But it doesn't have that good of a bridge unfortunately. It just comes and goes.  @Legend E - Kelly Clarkson - Because of You Oh man. The emotion here  - this helped prepare us for the key change in the final chorus. This song is devastating yet so iconic.  @Kylie Verzosa - Rosalia - TUYA I mean, it's ok but it doesn't go anywhere.  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  @Invisibility - FKA Twigs - Figure 8 Ellie Goulding wants her song title back. That bridge was like an Exorcist audition. At least it was interesting I guess...  @Jai - SZA - Normal Girl This was cute. It's the best part of the song. Would have been interesting though to see you participate in the singles category instead with Good Days. But still, you're doing fine.  @Overprotected - Mariah Carey - Whenever You Call This was pretty good. Built up the intensity for the key change in the final chorus. Nicely done.  @Julia Fox- Shakira - When a Woman I mean, it's ok, but she had to have better options than this right? Like...the bridge is the best part but it doesn't save the fact that she sounds like a crazy ***** on this song.  @fiercE - P!nk - Long Way To Happy You came to deliver and you succeeded. This has always stuck out to me, especially knowing the meaning behind the song. Just devastating and amazing at the same time.  @ZORBIT - Tinashe - I Tried This is your best entry in the whole game. No cap. She really went in on this and the bridge is a great highlight of it. Nice job!  @Hey Dude - Madonna - Push You just pushed yourself to the elimination zone sweetie. In retrospect I'm glad you didn't stick with Avril because the way you have treated Madonna this game has been horrific. I would have been EXTRA pissed if you destroyed Avril so...yeah...you pushed me into saying this. Look what you made me do.  @Yvess @stupidjock @lacy @CBC @fountain Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yvess Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 Regarding Promo Singles Fiasco  I assume you guys know your artist's discography well so we put in a level of trust when you submit your entries Some players even ask if their entries are ok or not, and that's when we get to answer and be fully made aware about a song being a promo single or nah.  From now on, we will give a 0.40 point deduction to Mariah's final individual score since she cannot change anymore and the critiques of the judges are almost done (waiting for two more)  Thank you.

Yvess Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 (edited) Also, to take effect next round, the fate of promo singles will be decided we will ask the whole panel their thoughts about PROMO SINGLE = SINGLE or not  For me, the reason why I decided on it to be that way so that there will be more songs to choose from for singles if we include promo singles. If we will remove promo singles as singles, there might come a time that a round is going to ask for you to send in a single and you might want to send a promo single for it instead.  Example: ELEMENTS ROUND (SINGLES ONLY ROUND) i'd love to use WALKING ON AIR by Katy Perry  so for this reason, I want to still consider a PROMO SINGLE as a SINGLE as I think it is will be more beneficial to the players You can only have problems with it if you don't want to research about it tbh.  VOTE TALLY PROMO SINGLE IS A SINGLE = 1 PROMO SINGLE IS NOT A SINGLE =   at this point, i'll let you guys decide about the fate of promo singles @stupidjock @MusicLoverDude @fountain @CBC @lacy thank you so much!

poki Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 Round 1 - doesn't matter cause no one went home Round 2 - Girlfriend Round 4 - I Fell In Love With the Devil / Rock n Roll Round 5 - Innocence Round 7 - Fly Round 8 - When You're Gone / Innocence  Also I did that Fergie example 2 rounds ago which I think definitely would do good here.  Round 2 - Fergalicious Round 4 - Clumsy / A Little Work / basically whatever for conceptual hoenstly Round 5 - Love is Pain Round 7 - Just Like You Round 8 - Big Girls Don't Cry / Losing My Ground  I can even do a set for Geri Halliwell Round 2 - It's Raining Men Round 4 - Lift Me Up / Look At Me / Bag It Up Round 5 - Calling Round 7 - Very Slowly (a ******* BOP but it's basically the same 30 seconds on repeat) Round 8 - Look At Me / Strength of a Woman  It's just Madonna that makes my IQ go even lower than my usual -40. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
