MLD's Critiques - Camp Renaissance

 

@Moonlightbae - Ariana Grande - Side To Side f. Nicki Minaj 

An argument could be made that Break Free or The Way could also work for this round, but Side To Side is still a stronger choice so nicely done my dear

 

@Jai SZA, Calvin Harris, Funk Wav - The Weekend (Funk Wav Remix) 

I like the groove of this mix, but, I actually think you could have slayed this round if you sent F2F. That song gives off the "screw it and have fun" type of rebellious vibe that only really works in summer. This still works for summer nights so it will still score decently from me, but I definitely think this could have been a SMASH round with F2F. 

 

@Invisibility FKA Twigs f. Shygirl - Papi Bones 

You know what, this actually goes off a bit. Good job. 

 

@Overprotected Mariah Carey - Honey

You're on a roll sweetie! Fantastic choice. It's hot and sexy and good for hot summer sex (or alone time). 

 

@Psycho Kylie Minogue - Slow 

Hmmm. Slow is nice. It's good for certain times of day, night mostly. BUT, this doesn't really scream summer to me like other entries here. On a Night Like This, Love At First Sight and All the Lovers were all right there 

 

@Kylie Verzosa Rosalia - Despecha 

This is much better than the previous round. the summer vibes are there and I think you went with her best option too. 

 

@thecptz Smile - RuPaul 

Eh, this doesn't really scream summer to me. Just screams advice from a gay Charli XCX stan that discovered autotune and decided to swim in it.

Not me missing this. Would it be SZA without a delay?

 

Thank you judge @MusicLoverDude. I didn't know F2F was a past single (was it a single?) so I never even considered it.

MLD's Critiques - Camp Dangerous

 

 

@Julia Fox Shakira - Loca 

Hmmmm. I get the vibes, but Hips Don't Lie or Whenever, Wherever were both right there. 

 

@khalyan Jessica Simpson - Irresistible 

Jessica had two viables options. This and I Think I'm In Love With You. I think you went with the better choice. 

 

@D e v o n Katy Perry f. Snoop Doggs - California Gurls 

YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS chef's kiss . This song is EVERYTHING good about summer. You are melting popsicles indeed. 

 

@fiercE P!nk - Get the Party Started 
Yep. Perfect choice. It's light-hearted and feel good  

 

@Insanity Nick Jonas - Teacher 
This works for the most part. An argument could be made that This is Heaven could have also worked for this theme, but still, good choice 
 

@Born to Run Billie Eilish - bad guy
This was very much the best choice you could have gone with. It's badass and cool like summer should be. Well done
 

Overall, very strong round and I'll send my scores to this group to @Yvess after I review the other groups.

Luv theseeee!

@Julia Fox  LOCA

 

DANCE OR DIE  I think this is her most summer song. Good job

 

 

@khalyan  IRRESISTIBLE

 

I Think I'm in Love with You would work better for this round I think. This is not giving, sir I'm from EU 

 

 

@D e v o n  CALIFORNIA GURLS

 

WOAH, this is kinda perfect entry tbh. The way this round's theme did wonders for you. One of the most ultimate summer songs 

 

 

@fiercE  GET THE PARTY STARTED

 

Cool song. Yeah, I guess it would fit on some summer playlist but this will be hard to score tbh.

 

 

@Insanity  TEACHER

 

I love this playful, flirty bop. 

 

@Born to Run  BAD GUY

 

Lost Cause is more summer song than this. This is just a summer song in a sense that it was a hit during summer time and that's ok but it seems like a lazy entry.

 

[Julia Fox]

@MusicLoverDude I’m not gonna send HDL or WW this soon  and even if I send them Loca is still a summer song. I do not agree with your critique but thanks I guess 

 

@stupidjock tysm! you get the vision 

[khalyan]

@stupidjock not getting the vision!

 

[Yvess]

 

Miss Slayssica did THAT!

who is that hunk sitting near the stage?

@Dessy  GOODIES

 

I love playful vibes in music and this does just that This is definitely type of song to bop to during summertime in the city

 

@ZORBIT  SUPERLOVE

 

Is this her most summer type of song? Probably yes. Do I like it tho? Not really  But I will score based on fitting the theme more anyways

 

@Queen. STARSHIPS

 

What can I say here? Congrats from jumping from round 1 flop to most likely winning round 2  THIS is the ultimate summer song. It was impossible to escape it when I was younger. Starships on vacay trip with family. Starships while waiting on a queue for ice cream. Starships on your last days of school before summer holidays. etc. etc.

 

@PoKiTaurus BEAUTIFUL STRANGER

 

She literally has a song called HOLIDAY. Cherish? La Isla Bonita? At the fact that you asked ATRL for help and got it WRONG  

 

@blackoutbaby  SOS

 

Yeah, good entry That's actually one of my favorite Rihanna singles

 

@dejmieeen  ERROR

 

I love the piano here and her delivery. A vibe. 

 

@Legend E  MY LIFE WOULD SUCK WITHOUT YOU

 

Slay. Another good entry. Nostalgic summer classic. I wish I could go back to those times

@Moonlightbae  SIDE TO SIDE

 

This track is such a fat, epic, iconic bop. Good entry

 

@Jai  THE WEEKEND - FUNK WAV REMIX

 

As much as I'm personally not super moved by this I will be scoring based on fitting the summer theme and it does that 

 

@Invisibility  PAPI BONES

 

Wow, why didn't I know about this song before? I guess you're lucky she released that mixtape cause otherwise idk what else would fit the challenge theme. Another good entry 

 

@Overprotected  HONEY

 

This is my favorite song of hers + it's a summer, sexy, playful bop so yeah 

 

@Psycho  SLOW

 

I can think of a couple summer songs from her - Get Outta My Way, Spinning Around etc. but this one work very well too. It's also happens to be one of my favorite songs from hers (next to soon to be released Tension - don't forget to stream when it comes out!) so I will be biased while scoring 

 

@Kylie Verzosa DESPECHA

 

Love it Nice discovery and fits the theme
