Kylie Verzosa Posted October 2, 2023 Share Posted October 2, 2023 4 hours ago, lacy said: Β Β TABS SISTERS, WHAT'S YOUR FAVOURITE SCARY MOVIE? Β It's me! Ghostface, AND YOU'RE ALL GONNA DIE. Β psst. not really!! It's me, Olivia Rodrigo, i'm just wearing a mask for halloween tee hee Β Welcome to round 8! Β 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! Β 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! Β Enough said, onto the crits! Β Β SINGLES Β Nicki Minaj Β Reveal hidden contents - The bridge is a massive highlight in this song - I love how it provided some breathing room in an otherwise very fast paced song - βBoy, Iβm in this club slow-moβ 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 Β Reveal hidden contents - I love the emotional build up the bridge provides before the final hook run - It feels a lot like sheβs being dragged in two completely different directions (βthat made everything feel better, and even then, my eyes got wetterβ) - I feel like the instrumental emphasis at the beginning of the bridge emulated a heartbeat and this was deliberate to convey the build up - βMaybe iβve been california dreamingβ 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 Β Reveal hidden contents - The bridge of your submission felt less essential to the song than some of the other contestantβs 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 itβs indisputable - The DRAMATICS of the final βIβm gonna loveβ - hehe Iβm going to be saving this one on spotify i fear thank u xoxo Ciara Β Reveal hidden contents - Not the slurβ¦ nooooooooooooΒ - 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 βwe can dance slowβ as the song slows down, we stan that - I love the promise of βwe will rock youβ 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 Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 donβt feel like of the lyrics that stuck with me or got me in my feels came from the bridge - At least Yvess said because itβs just a bridge round you can still submit this song again on another round where it be appreciated for its many strong points ROSALIA Β Reveal hidden contents - Not relevant to the bridge nor to your score but I loved the cute doggo in the mv itβs so F*CKING CUTEEEEEEEE - Also not particularly relevant but this is a f*cking bop oh my, iβm adding to my spotify kthx mwah - When the bridge started my initial thought was βoh cute, a little billie eilish whisper vocal segmentβ 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, βI'm your little devil on naughty nightsβ, βYou're a lucky motherfucker 'cause you found meβ, 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) Β FKA Twigs (V1) Β Reveal hidden contents - You can always rely on FKA to do things in an unusual way, throughout most of this round weβve 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 sheβs saying βyouβre runningβ and i just imagine her chasing him nn - However Iβm 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) Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 - Itβs another really interesting use for a bridge, instead of providing downtime and build up, this is what WAS built up to. - Second timeβs the charm bc this was an amazing submission SZA Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 iβm listening to a kind of motivational lullaby? not sure how best to express it, but itβs a compliment Mariah Carey Β Reveal hidden contents - This bridge failed to captivate me, there wasnβt 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 Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 wouldnβt blink if it was removed from the song, sorry - However I do love a lot of the lyrical content in the bridge, βand when you think itβs all i got, iβll bring it up a notchβ & βbaby im your girl, and this is how i show my loveβ are such badass feel-good lines Madonna (V1) Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 Iβm 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) Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 Β Reveal hidden contents - 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 Β Reveal hidden contents - Another song without a bridge, but it also lacks any traditional structure according to genius so! at least it wasnβt 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 βCause unless I can sell it, consider it chuckedβ nn as she should - I also love the pettiness of βI hope your next girlfriend is a cheat and a *****β And thus concludes the bridge segment, feel free to cry below, mwah mwah xoxo Β Β tags: Β Reveal hidden contents Β @InvisibilityΒ @Queen.Β @blackoutbabyΒ @JaiΒ @OverprotectedΒ @khalyanΒ @Julia FoxΒ @DessyΒ Β @Hey DudeΒ @PsychoΒ Β @Legend EΒ @fiercEΒ Β @Kylie VerzosaΒ @ZORBITΒ @stupidjockΒ @MusicLoverDudeΒ @fountainΒ Β @CBCΒ @lacy Finally!!!
