ATRL Moderator Legend E Posted October 2, 2023 ATRL Moderator Share Posted October 2, 2023 The thing with promo singles is that, nowadays, a bunch of them are released before the album. Kelly released like 7 singles from Chemistry if we count all of them Same applies to Carrie Underwood or Ellie Goulding Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacy Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 TABS SISTERS, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SCARY MOVIE? It's me! Ghostface, AND YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE. psst. not really!! It's me, Olivia Rodrigo, i'm just wearing a mask for halloween tee hee Welcome to round 8! In this round, the singles really impressed me, every single song was a smash with an excellent bridge and it was very hard to pick a winner from ya'll, two of your tracks ended up getting added to my spotify library afterwards too, slay queen! As for the non-singles, less than half of you followed the instructions properly which I found very disappointing and it was a headache to judge, can we all please read the instructions and take our time with our entires next time? But to the three of you who did correctly follow the instructions, THANK YOU and SLAY, your efforts DO translate into more points from me, get it girlies! Enough said, onto the crits! SINGLES Nicki Minaj Spoiler - The bridge is a massive highlight in this song - I love how it provided some breathing room in an otherwise very fast paced song - “Boy, I’m in this club slow-mo” is a great opening line to slow things down - The final line of the bridge was also a perfect way to transition back out - Overall, amazing song selection, the bridge is very present, noticeable and significant to the track and represents actually what bridges are made for, amazing job Rihanna Spoiler - I love the emotional build up the bridge provides before the final hook run - It feels a lot like she’s being dragged in two completely different directions (“that made everything feel better, and even then, my eyes got wetter”) - I feel like the instrumental emphasis at the beginning of the bridge emulated a heartbeat and this was deliberate to convey the build up - “Maybe i’ve been california dreaming” was such a beautiful way to end the bridge, tying back into the hook while providing a newfound emotional clarity - I only wish the instrumental change was more prominent throughout the bridge and that the bridge captivated my attention more Jessica Simpson Spoiler - The bridge of your submission felt less essential to the song than some of the other contestant’s bridges - However purely on sound, that bridge was really damn beautiful - I love the contrast of the really calm backing vocals against the POWER of miss jessicas voice - You can really the feel the passion behind every word here and it’s indisputable - The DRAMATICS of the final “I’m gonna love” - hehe I’m going to be saving this one on spotify i fear thank u xoxo Ciara Spoiler - Not the slur… noooooooooooo - I love how the bridge provides a beautiful down time in an otherwise infectious song - I also love how the bridge is repeated, adding onto the infectious pull this song has - Cute how she sings “we can dance slow” as the song slows down, we stan that - I love the promise of “we will rock you” because she sure did! - One of the more dramatic instrumental changes in a bridge so far, it demanded my attention and was incredibly satisfying to listen to, amazing submission, slayage. Kylie Minogue Spoiler - Very short but sweet bridge here - I was a little disappointed that it was reused lyrics from the first verse - I did however love the dramatics in the instrumental change - Her whispery vocals were so pretty, very much a calm before the storm - The bridge did feel very essential to the track, I just wish there had been more to appreciate Kelly Clarkson Spoiler - This is such a beautiful song however I personally feel like the bridge was one of the least impactful segments - The softer run through of the hook directly after the bridge served a lot more and provided the change in tone normally provided by the bridge - I also don’t feel like of the lyrics that stuck with me or got me in my feels came from the bridge - At least Yvess said because it’s just a bridge round you can still submit this song again on another round where it be appreciated for its many strong points ROSALIA Spoiler - Not relevant to the bridge nor to your score but I loved the cute doggo in the mv it’s so F*CKING CUTEEEEEEEE - Also not particularly relevant but this is a f*cking bop oh my, i’m adding to my spotify kthx mwah - When the bridge started my initial thought was “oh cute, a little billie eilish whisper vocal segment” but she not only uses the bridge to change up the pace of the song, she changes up the pace of the bridge itself halfway through - This is also one of the more lengthy bridges submitted, I love that you submitted something with a HEAVY bridge - I love the energy behind so many of the lyrics in the bridge, “I'm your little devil on naughty nights”, “You're a lucky motherfucker 'cause you found me”, she is TAKING IT. - I love how the bridge leads into CHAOS - from soft adlibs to booming bass to the pitched vocals, this bridge is the DEFINITION of calm before the storm - Amazing submission, the assignment was understood NON-SINGLES (except half of them are infact singles) FKA Twigs (V1) Spoiler - You can always rely on FKA to do things in an unusual way, throughout most of this round we’ve seen the bridge used as a downtime, but FKA uses it to give us a peek behind the curtain into the darker side of the track, and I admire the different approach - I like how the bridge continued the talk of wishes without posing the same question as the chorus - I love the dramatics of it, she sounds so far away, the instrumental turns to something straight out of a movie, and she’s saying “you’re running” and i just imagine her chasing him nn - However I’m not feeling like the bridge of this song was one of the highlights of the track, the final run of the hook and the outro stood out a lot more to me - Also gorllll not this being a single noooooo noooooooooooo FKA Twigs (V2) Spoiler - Now THIS is a song with focus on the bridge, the bridge is by far the most important section of this song, even being the section the track was named after - It’s another really interesting use for a bridge, instead of providing downtime and build up, this is what WAS built up to. - Second time’s the charm bc this was an amazing submission SZA Spoiler - SZA coming through with another different use for a bridge! This time using it as an outro oop - This bridge is one of the prettiest submissions imo, it sounds like the resolution to the struggles spoken about in the song and like a promise to herself. The change in tone provided by the bridge was used really well to emphasise the importance of these last few words of the song. - I love how repetitive the bridge is and the instrumental at the end of the bridge, it makes me feel like i’m listening to a kind of motivational lullaby? not sure how best to express it, but it’s a compliment Mariah Carey Spoiler - This bridge failed to captivate me, there wasn’t a huge differ from the rest of the song neither in sound nor lyrical content - It feels like this bridge only exists as a vocal range flex - The bridge does not feel significant in this song, the final hook stole the show, it feels like the bridge walked so that the final chorus could run - Just found this also WAS a single nooooooo Shakira Spoiler - This song is a bop, the hook has got me gripped omg, added to my spotify library ty b - The bridge was kinda disappointing in how it sounds, it felt awkwardly placed in and I wouldn’t blink if it was removed from the song, sorry - However I do love a lot of the lyrical content in the bridge, “and when you think it’s all i got, i’ll bring it up a notch” & “baby im your girl, and this is how i show my love” are such badass feel-good lines Madonna (V1) Spoiler - According to the website genius which you were asked to use as a source in the round briefer this song does not have a bridge, so for the purposes of this I’m going to treat the breakdown as the bridge as those are the lyrics you sent in - Lyrically the breakdown provides nothing new, as the same lyrics were used in the chorus and post-chorus - Not another single-gate track, this being a single without a bridge in a non-singles best bridge contest hfejfg?? Madonna (V2) Spoiler - Not particularly relevant to the competition but I love this song so much, such a classic - This bridge is very short and not a particular highlight of the track sadly - I will say it does a good job of hyping up to the final chorus run, it serves its purpose - I fear we both know if you take your time more with entires you can slay harder P!nk Spoiler - Wow, what an emotional bridge, and song in general - I love the way she interrupts herself in the chorus to start the bridge, it made the bridge feel more like a spontaneous release of emotions - This was a beautiful use of a bridge that added a lot to the song and overall a very strong entry, slayyy Tinashe Spoiler - Another song without a bridge, but it also lacks any traditional structure according to genius so! at least it wasn’t a single - However, god damn whatever that segment is, is beautiful. Definitely a highlight of the track. - It feels to me like she broke the repetitive and cryptic way of talking about the situation to speak her truth and I love and stan that. - I love how much she establishes her self worth here “Cause unless I can sell it, consider it chucked” nn as she should - I also love the pettiness of “I hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a *****” And thus concludes the bridge segment, feel free to cry below, mwah mwah xoxo tags: Spoiler @Invisibility @Queen. @blackoutbaby @Jai @Overprotected @khalyan @Julia Fox @Dessy @Hey Dude @Psycho @Legend E @fiercE @Kylie Verzosa @ZORBIT @stupidjock @MusicLoverDude @fountain @CBC @lacy 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lacy Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 4 hours ago, MusicLoverDude said: 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.

Dark Horse was given a full massive single treatment. Walking on Air was released prior to the album and that is about it. To me, I don’t see the relationship between these two songs even though they are sisters in the release process, so I always go back mentally to this when thinking if a promo single should be counted as a single.

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. wayyyooooo it's not mariah's fault we didn't clock the fact it's a single earlier - wasnt it only a promo single or something anyways? it's not like it was a major thing, i fear she should get the same 0.2 hit as the other sisters who didnt check properly, if the others had come forward w the mistake themselves that'd be another story, but us missing that mariah sent in a single late is on us as judges 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yvess Posted October 2, 2023 Author Share Posted October 2, 2023 ANNOUNCEMENT: VIOLATIONS Talked to the girls from the panel and also checking what some players think of for the violations done this round, Here will be the FINAL DEDUCTIONS per player @Hey Dude @Invisibility Will still get the 0.20 POINT DEDUCTION on their final individual scores since we clocked the error before actual entry deadline is up @Overprotected Will now get a 0.20 point deduction as well since we did not clock it during the timeframe she can still change entry and it was Hey Dude who exposed her/ @ZORBIT for not having a "formal" bridge posted on genius, we will be giving a 0.20 point deduction as well. MOVING FORWARD, we hope that you guys will check thoroughly your entry's qualifications for a round We will be more careful in accepting entries (actually, will scrap some rounds that might be too hard for y'all to distinguish a single to not so i dont have to deal with this anymore) Will not tag other players to avoid them from being bombarded by my presence and mentions about this game Thank you. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
