Before I vote, let me tell you that this round was much superior when comparing to the previous one. You guys stepped out your game and only two people (my off votes) did less good and still managed to have a decent entry, so I am SO sorry for voting you off.

OFF
2. Penk - Kimbra - The Golden Echo: 6/10
I feel like you missunderstood the challenge. You went for Kimbra's view and not yours (what was requested) but at least we are able to see that the song is nostalgic in some points, yay!
4. Yvess - Avril Lavigne - Under My Skin: 7,5/10
It has been a long time since I ever heard this song, I really like it and I enjoyed your entry overall. My only problem was the 'general' point of view. You didn't really talk about yourself and this challenge kinda requested that in a certain way.

SAVE
5. holyground - Lorde - Pure Heroine: 10/10
It is annoying how you've been slaying this game and not giving chances to everyone else.
10. Capital B - Alanis Morissette - Jagged Little Pill: 10/10
You always get me with your essays. I love how you are now stepping out of your comfort zone and speaking your mind. I love that, I am exactly like that. I am a person who ALWAYS speaks his mind, I can't leave things unsaid and eventhough I admire myself for that, it is not always good so be careful.

MusicLoverDude, Prismatic: 9,5.
Bloomers, Luigi: 9.
VDK: 8,25.
Dollas: 8.

Great round, really!

OFF
Kimbra - I loved all of your entries so far but your essay didn't talk about how it inspires change
Avril - Same thing, sort of. I've loved all of your entries but I feel like you really didn't talk about your personal connection to the song and talked more about its meaning

my heart was pounding but the time had come.

I personally feel that What About is the perfect song to represent change and yearning for a fresh start. The listener is greeted by rolling waves and chirping sea birds when the track begins. These sounds invoke the image of a serene beach, a perfect representation for change since water is a universal symbol of change itself.
As the rock influenced track progresses, Janet gathers the courage to confront an abusive lover. Even though I've never found myself in an abusive relationship, I think this song has still inspired change within me. The song has taught me that I need to cut off the toxic and poisonous people in my life. If I come to the realization that it's best to cut a person out of my life, this song has taught me (and many other people) that it's best to gather your strength to do it. If I know that a certain person is unable to support and accept me for who I am, the song's message of found strength to better your life will inspire me to initiate change.

[Dollas n Diamonds]

Can't decide between my top three

Save:
What About - Wow first of all this song is amazing; beautiful melodies, great lyrics, emotional, explosive energy - definitely keeping this one.
Your essay was wonderful as always and it obviously resonated with me; we even had the same themes. Perfect choice

Bravado - I went back and forth with this and Alanis and Lorde won by a smudge just because I think the song fits the theme a little bit more and I relate to it better. Both beautiful songs with awesome essays from my two strongest competitors

HM
Alanis - read that ^

Off
Avril - I hate to do this cause I actually really loved your essay it resonated with me but like the others said I don't think you understood the challenge. It would have been great for something else

Carly- now first off this isn't tit for tat but I honestly didn't understand how your song choice or your essay had to do with the challenge, well until the last sentence's. Also the theme of curiosity is about making the same mistakes over again which is the opposite of the challenge

Your Clean story


I can relate to it SO SO MUCH


Except I didn't stop talking to anyone

Dwuw sis



Yes share my pain, I'm glad I wrote it it was quite liberating and no I wouldn't recommend it. It's Terribly lonely and it didn't help the actual situation much

(is this what you ment by you found a new meaning to Clean in the base?)
