1. A bit hoarse. It's as if he has lost his voice. Like the instrumental however.
2. Solid. Not my preferred choice from the record, but will do. 
3. Average. I'm not big on his vocals. It often sounds to me as if he's straining them. Puts me off.
4. The production >. Not gonna lie, I'm a sucker for his voice, but the lyrics let the song down.
5. He's always so smooth in his delivery.
6. Like the verses a lot, but wanted more from the chorus. Pretty catchy.
7. Had never heard this before, but still instantly recognized them. Eh. It's so-so. Like the seamless flow. It's easy to listen to in that sense.
8. When the song kick in >. Is this
Calvin or Example
? Either way, it's really nothing special. They aren't much of a vocalist, but it doesn't really bother me here. A bit uneventful, though. Pretty standard
Calvin
beat, too.
9. It's pretty, but quite dull at the same time. Not something I'd listen to.
10. I love his sound and lyricism, so I'm inclined to like his songs. This is okay, but weaker than the other song used. Still yet to hear my faves from the record. 
11. Pleasant voice. Sadly the song isn't all that great.
12. I felt like this had been used, checked the list, and gotcha!  It's a nice song, but rules are rules. Unfortunately someone probably loses their spot in the game over you.
13. Not a fan. Find it kinda cheap.
14. Totally hear the
Lorde
comparison. A bit conflicted tbh. There's both good and not-so-good moments. It's decent.
15. Refreshing. Fine pick. 
16. Never liked his voice. A no for me.
17. He's rather hit and miss for me. He has worse.
18. Pretty good. I like it. Not sure why exactly, but I have never bothered to listen to his albums.
19. Listenable. Has a nice vibe to it.
20. Meh. Not as good as the other song by him.
PS Is it really that hard to check the list for banned songs?

SONG 01 - I think this is a pretty interesting and unique entry, but unfortunately overall I wasn't that impressed. The artist's vocals just aren't my cup of tea, though I really liked how the song completely changed near the middle.
SONG 02 - Not my favorite from the album or even the EP, but definitely a bop.  I love how it gets extra slayful near the end.
SONG 03 - Yesss, I was hoping someone snatched this freshly served jam. Love love love.
SONG 04 - As some have been saying in the thread: not feeling this pick. I was kinda forced to listen to this album, which I didn't 100% like, but there's DEFINITELY better choices that are actually somewhat good.
SONG 05 - I stopped being a fan of this artist a few eras back but this song is alright, I just wish it went a bit harder because the vibe doesn't really change much throughout all 4 minutes.
SONG 06 - This song is giving me major Metro Station teas, but more watered down.  The verses are fine, though they're kinda typical for this style/genre, but the chorus is significantly weak.
SONG 07 - Once this started, I had a good feeling this was gonna be a nice throwback bop and I knew I was right when the chorus began - and then I also realized that this is probably the first time in 7+ years that I've heard this. Can't go wrong with a little nostalgia. 
SONG 08 - Can't complain about this entry, I've always enjoyed this one.
SONG 09 - Male midtempos are usually very hit-or-miss but I think this is a relatively solid one, it got a bit better once the 2nd verse came around.
SONG 10 - Mmm this one always scalps me. You think it's gonna be some cute little ballad from the start and then BOOM, it ****s your whole life up.
SONG 11 - This is a good one, I've never even heard of this artist before. I like the vibe of this one and the lyrics make the whole song more enjoyable.
SONG 12 - Haven't heard this in a while, still enjoy it to this day.
SONG 13 - Wooo to be honest I didn't think anyone would send him, but I'm so glad you did. I'd say this is a great selection from his discography.
SONG 14 - Okay WOO... I wasn't really anticipating a new song that I'd actually love. I've heard of this artist a little bit, but never heard a track from them until now. I was grooving quite a bit to this.
SONG 15 - What a reverse Warholian experience - the verses are rather so-so, but the chorus is awesome. Overall I'd still say it's pretty nice.
SONG 16 - A somewhat bold choice since this artist is very underrated and even made fun of on here, but I don't really have anything to complain about with this. This is the first time I've heard a non-single from him, too.
SONG 17 - I knew he'd be popping up somewhere this round.  I didn't even bother listening to his debut but this is actually nice, I like it.
SONG 18 - Ayyy Awesome choice, most likely the best option from this particular album.
SONG 19 - Not in my top 5 from his latest release, but it's an amazing track for sure.  The beat always gets me moving.
SONG 20 - Amazing ending to this round.  This song has nearly brought me to tears several times, it's just absolutely stunning. (But just a note, people are probably more likely to underrate this because the quality is a little LQ.)]
CUTE DISCOVERIES - 09, 14, 15, 16, 17 (that 1-2-3-4 punch!)
OVERALL SCORE - 160 / 190 | 84.2%, B

COMMENTS ROUND 7
Song 1: Not impressed at all, the vocals are really not great and I don’t like the production, it’s all too much.
Song 2: I really like the vibe of this song, also not that impressed after a few minutes because it becomes a bit too repetitive. Definitely not bad tho.
Song 3: a bop! The chorus falls a bit flat tho.
Song 4: Those cringeworthy lyrics are just not cute, the production is not that bad (tho it’s a bit noisy at times), but yeah this is a perfect example of how lyrics can ruin a song.
Song 5: One of the better songs of his latest album. The song could use a bit more fire, with this title I expected more of a trap song but oh well.
Song 6: I really don’t like this . The chorus is not cute
Song 7: I don’t know this song, but it feels like a 00’s song . The song is not bad but it sounds a bit too dated.
Song 8: I don’t like the singers voice and that breakdown sounds like I already heard it 1000 times.
Song 9: Boring as ****, no thank you.
Song 10: This is amazing, I love the production and it’s better executed than his previous song. Replay-worthy this.
Song 11: His voice is lovely, but this song is not the tea sadly.
Song 12: This one is already used . Like just use ctrl+f and search the artists name to look it up, it ain’t that hard
The song is amazing tho
Song 13: I really hate this artist, but the song is not that bad, also not amazing so I am not missing anything by not liking him  . But yeah one of the stronger songs this round
Song 14: Sounds like a girl . The song is not that bad tho
Song 15: This is a ****ing bop, IDK who this is but slay.
Song 16: A pretty weak song by this artist, compared to the other songs in this round, a very strong pick
Song 17: His debut album is the pits, but you managed to pick a song that is pretty enjoyable.
Song 18: A bop.
Song 19: my favorite song of the album, an amazing song and the vibe is great.
Song 20: meh
