No problem :P. I feel better too. I'm hoping this confidence lasts haha.

Awww thanks . I think some people think I got on my knees to get as far as I did last time. I didn't and all I did was write. But aah well. I'm hoping to improve even more than last time. It took me a few rounds to get my rhyming and meter on point in PH7. This time I think I know what to do theoretically, and need to just come up with great substance.

Reviews

Sam: "This is a very cute entry. I didn’t really have many problems with it. I liked “Don’t need instructions, I’ll pave my own road” and “Don’t need a direction, just need to fly”, they definitely embodied freedom. You have a good sense of rhythm, rhyming and structure, so you’re off to a good start. The parts in parenthesis were unnecessary and detracted a little. Overall, it was an enjoyable read."

Mystery Judge: "The selection met the right criteria and did well. Actually, I really like this, I hear a kickass spoken word intro that would lead into something great. A little sing-songy but that is fine."

Lovesong: "This is a really cool intro; it’ll definitely start off an album nicely. The countdown was a bit cheesy but it can also work nicely depending on the context. I like the inspirational feel of the song and the imagery that you used was a very nice start. I think you can definitely push yourself more to really tap into your inner self to pull emotion out. I’d also advise you to double word placement and rhyme, little things like that can make all the difference."

Gotskill: "I’m getting a little ClarksonSlays and a little Element here. I love both of their styles. You’re right, the song is a bit cheesy, but it would work well as an intro to a pop album. My one main criticism is the forced rhyme with the “don’t need a guide” line. Never rhyme for the sake of rhyming because it will come off as forced and lazy. Nothing about this song blows me away, but it’s a solid first entry and shows a lot of potential."

Hugamari: "I'm not a fan of denotating where "instrumental" parts, or lacks thereof, are. Also, what bugs me is you said 1, 2, 3 instead of 3, 2, 1. I think the way you ordered it was so that you were talking about the first 3 songs on this album, but I still think 3, 2, 1...*goes to first song* would've been better. Besides for the general picking at needless things, I think you did the idea of an intro pretty well. Meter could use just a tad bit of work, but it's mostly there. I think you'll hit it on the head soon enough!"

I never understood why people assumed you only got as far as you did due to judge favouritism. I saw a lot of your entries last season and they were great.

You've obviously got songwriting talent otherwise I wouldn't have given you the score I did.

I really liked this. It's cute and quite inspiring too! I can see you improving a lot over the course of the competition and I want to see where you can go so I really hope you make it through

It's definitely easier to play the second time tbh, you usually grow so much with the first season you play.

It annoys me when they say you survived from favouritism tbh because if that were true of anybody it would be me but whatever. In the end, it's just good to be here to write.

If you had submitted this instead of that Wildebeest song I would have given you a 10.
