Hello Castaways! It's the time to reveal your scores for the 4th Round of the game. The results and scoring will work exactly the same as previous rounds.
Let's get started...
Puka Puka
1. TheSeenScene - 2NE1 - I Love You
Quote:
Dillon - 10 - I was expecting alot from you for this round. And you delivered. This song is really good! Now I know why you stan for these girls so hard. Perfect example of what we anted this round.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 9.5. “I don’t absolutely get a thing from this song, but the beat is really infectious and catchy, no wonder is one of 2NE1’s biggest songs. I loved the entry, and I’m loving you as a member TSS, nice job!”
Quote:
Anna - TheSeenScene - 10 - this is such a good song. I love how it starts out slow and then picks up in the chorus and has a fast part at the end, it shows the diversity of 2NE1 and that they draw inspiration from many different styles. I also think that they bring across the emotion well, even though it's in a foreign language I can feel what the song is about.
Quote:
Alexz - 8 - The beat is hauntin, their vocals fit so well with it, tho I think they have better songs, but still, it's freaking 2NE1!
2. MWB - Belinda - Egoista
Quote:
Dillon - 7.5 - It seems like a typical Pitbull feature meant to smash the clubs. I know who Belinda is from Cheetah Girls tbh Overall, it's an okay song but it's nothing special that makes me want to look into more of her material. Alright job.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 10. “Bravo! Amazing and flawless entry MWB, I don’t know how you got to know this song, but Belinda is the Pop Princess in Latin America, and this song definetely shows. Probably pure bubblegum-pop generic mess some might say, but it was successful as ****, and the Pitbull feature just comes to show how overplayed this song was. ”
Quote:
Anna - MWB - 9 - musically, it just seems like a typical Pitbull/dance song, that's why I'm not giving you the full score. but I enjoyed it, it's freaking catchy and had me singing along even though I don't know Spanish. I also like her attitude, it fits.
Quote:
Alexz - 7.5 - Don't get me wrong, I'm a big Belinda fan, but this song is just...not my cup of tea, and the fact that Pitsbull is featured on this makes it even harder for me to hear it in full, but still this song is catchy as hell and I can see why you chose this over Bella Traición/ Ni Freud Ni Tu Mamá.
3. AdamAL4 - Jolin Tsai - The Great Artist
Quote:
Dillon - 9 - This asian bitch has got my attention. That was the main objective of this round since I have no idea what any of these songs mean. At first when the video started I was worried but then she started dancing and it turned into an enjoyable music video. The song's catchy. Nice choice Adam!
Quote:
Ray Bass: 8.5. “Underwhelming on the verses, but the hook is actually good, it reminded me of Aaliyah’s type of songs. It’s a cute song, nice entry.”
Quote:
Anna - AdamAL4 - 9 - this sounds darker than I would have expected, it makes for an interesting mixture of styles and I like that. it's a great dance song, it has a very feel good vibe to me and a lot of energy, and the little breakdown towards the end is a smart addition cooling it down for a moment before it kicks back in.
Quote:
Alexz - 8 - I am definitely surprised, not only by the song, the music video is also amazing, she knows how to dance, is she like Britney Spears of Taiwan? Anyway, I can't judge the lyrics but its definitely a great catchy tune!
4. BlazingLovatic - Hyuna - Ice Cream
Quote:
Dillon - 9.5 - This girl has potential to be make it in the US if she decided to crossover anytime. The music video only made the song more enjoyable. Great entry! Thse music videos are so odd by the way...anyway keep it up. Much better than last round.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 7.5. “I remember her from the Gangnam Style remix! Hyuna certainly has a lot of swag for a song named “Ice Cream”. I’m really not a fan of this song’s production or hook or anything, I’m not instantly hooked like with other songs, but it’s not bad as well and fits the theme perfectly.”
Quote:
Anna - BlazingLovatic - 8 - I watched the video for this when it came out because I saw a lot of people posting in the thread and it was definitely interesting. the song itself is a bit repetitive for my taste, I like the heavy beat and synths and how it's playing with the contrast between cute and sexy but there's something missing for me to absolutely LOVE it.
Quote:
Alexz - 7.5 - A very catchy, fun and popular song (judging by the views on YT and the comments of the KPop stans in here), I gotta be honest, I'm not impressed at all (except for her rap, damn), the beat gets kinda annoying sometimes and Hyuna has better songs imo, but other than that I think it's was an ok song choice.
5. Jolie's Lips - Alizee - Moi Lolita
Quote:
Dillon - 9 - I appreciate thta you went for a different route. Alot of these songs were all Dance songs which is a lot easier to get our attention with the infectious beats. This is more mellow and sweet and it works well. Nice job.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 5. “My French teacher told us once people all over France hated Alizee because of her dumb lyricism, and once I learned French I could see why to be honest. Yes her music is catchy, but I personally dislike her work, and this song is not helping me like her. Speaking of French entries, you would’ve slayed my heart with something from Edith Piaf, anything I swear. I’m sure you’ll do better Jolie because I liked each and every one of your entries except this one”
Quote:
Anna - Jolie's Lips - 10 - I've always had a love-hate relationship with French, but it didn't stop me from loving this song. it's great. her voice has a unique quality to it, it's soft but never sounds weak, which fits the song perfectly. the instrumentation is also great, it's sound kind of light which makes it great to listen to in the summer, and then the part with the strings where it gets kind of dramatic is the perfect climax.
Quote:
Alexz - 8.5 - Not only the song was huge in Europe, it also smashed here in my country, she even came with her tour and that's huge considering Spanish-language countries don't fancy foreign language songs that aren't in English. Great song choice!
6. SIMon1120 - Enrique Iglesias - Bailamos
Quote:
Dillon - 5 - This would have been an easy 10 had it been full Spanish. Most of this is English mixed with a little bit of Spanish which is not what we asked for. You've done really great in the past three rounds but this round you misunderstood the task or didn't read carefully enough. Better luck next round if you're here.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 4. “Simon I’m actually disappointed by the fact you sent this. Bailamos not only has English on the hook, but also on the verses. Enrique sings the song in Spanglish all the way, so even though I love the song, I must give this a negative score. ”
Quote:
Anna - SIMon1120 - 3 - Simon.. what is this? I love this song, but it's more English than Spanish! I spent 10 minutes looking for a full Spanish version because I thought I was listening to the wrong thing but apparently there is none? the music clearly gives me a Latin vibe and yeah, he does throw in some Spanish lines, but did you really think that would be enough?
Quote:
Alexz - 6 - I'm kinda surprised you submitted this, this round was about sending a non-english song, and the only word in another language is "Bailamos" kinda disappointed, the song is still hot tho, the flamenco influence on it is amazing.
7. Middle of Selena - Tumhi Ho Bandhu - Cocktail
Quote:
Dillon - 8.5 - The beat is great. I wish the song was a bit longer. It gives me Stereo Love teas and I love that song so that's a good thing. Very nice job getting your roots to help you Dhruv!
Quote:
Ray Bass: 5. “I hated this song so badly. It just seemed annoying from start to finish. The beat is actually kinda nice that’s why I gave you half of the points, but the voice of the girl singing is obnoxious and the hook falls flat from the song’s overall structure. I’m sorry. “
Quote:
Anna - Middle of Selena - 10 - I was already bopping to this during the intro, Idk it's a dance song but still laid-back at the same time, it doesn't have one of those aggressive beats, it feels like a fresh breeze when you're at the beach on a hot day. the singer's voice is very clear and pretty, and the guy during the chorus kinda loosens the whole thing up a bit. this is different and I like it.
Quote:
Alexz - 7 - The girl's voice is annoying, the beat is too fast for my taste, the only thing I like about this song is that you can clearly hear the Hindi sound.
Salani
1. Hugamari - Big Bang - Fantastic Baby
Quote:
Dillon - 8 - It's a bit repetitive. I laughed at the boom shaka laka part It just doesn't compare to the other K-Pop songs that were used. It has a cool beat but that's really it. Decent choice.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 5. “He sounds like the Asian Taio Cruz with all this autotune all over the place, and I’m personally not a fan of his rapping skills. I’ll pass on this one.”
Quote:
Anna - Hugamari - 5 - I'm not getting much from this song. I'm not digging the overuse of synths and computerized voices, there is no personality. it falls flat compared to the other K-pop songs that were submitted, I'm sorry.
Quote:
Alexz - 8 - This song reminds me of "Sexy and I Know It" for so many reasons, tho I like this song more, the beat is sick and the vocals are quite pleasant to my ears.
2. iLukey - Las Ketchup - The Ketchup Song
Quote:
Dillon - 8.5 - You're one of the few who can afford a slightly lower score since you've done so well in the others. This was a DANCE CRAZE so it left it's mark. It's oen of those songs that are so bad that they sound good. Nothing else to say really. You still managed a good score with this song...
Quote:
Ray Bass: 10. “Yeeeeees Lukey stan for this flawless iconic worldwide anthem! You truly know how to send entries and I must say you’re one of the strongers players in here! The Ketchup Song with all the gibberish on it, managed to get to #1 in like the whole world. This even has a stupid dance similar to the one that made Gangnam Style also famous. Excellent!”
Quote:
Anna - iLukey - 10 - your 4th 10 in a row, obviously, since this song is iconic. it's also completely free of sense but who cares when it's fun and catchy and just puts a smile on your face, not to forget it has an iconic dance, too. it was the perfect summer hit.
Quote:
Alexz - 10 - I still dance the hell out of this every time I hear it, the silly/gibberish lyrics and the catchy/infectious beat are the reason why this song was so massive, this is probably one the strongest entry this round!
3. Adr - Sigur Ros - Hoppipolla
Quote:
Dillon - 10 - OMG this so cute. The whole going back to your childhood days when you're older is so great. It has that happy vibe that plays in movies when the conflict is solved and everyone is happy. I really like this one Adrian!
Quote:
Ray Bass: 8.5. “I still don’t know in what language this was, but the song’s overall composition is awesome. I don’t know what in the world is he saying, but this sounds beautiful. I’m sure it’s an Alternative gem on the other side of the world. Nice Adrian!”
Quote:
Anna - Adr - 10 - wow, this song is beautiful! at first it sounds kinda sad but I guess it's actually a positive, happy song. I love the instruments and vocals, they created an atmosphere that makes you feel like entering a dream world, as if you were diving into a blissful state. I'm glad you were brave enough to send in this exceptional piece of music.
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - I really like this, it gives me U2 teas,it has this epic sounds plus the vocals are so smooth, your entry is probably one of the standouts of this round. You never disappoint, Adr.
4. Stevie - Ricky Martin - Livin' La Vida Loca (Spanish)
Quote:
Dillon - 10 - I love Ricky and Shrek so there you go. Did people really think he was straight.....anyway I'm 95% sure me ray and four knew about this song before you sent it so that helps. It's just a fun good time song and the only Ricky song I remember. Great!
Quote:
Ray Bass: 5. “I know you’re sending this as the Spanish entry of LLVL, but the round’s main focus was to find songs different than the ones we know in English, not just translated versions. Imagine all entries being Loba (She Wolf) or Dices (Who Says). I’m sure you’ll get it right next time Stevie, I just had a problem with this, it doesn’t take out the flawlessness from LLVL though.”
Quote:
Anna - Stevie - 10 - this song slays! the dynamic is insane, so powerful and fast, it perfectly mirrors the lyrics. the use of instruments illustrates that, with the guitar solo and the trumpets, and there's also the undeniable Latin vibe. a masterpiece.
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - This song is such a Latin explosion! Very catchy, I prefer the Spanish version over the English one, One of the obvious choices this round but yet it is a great one imo.
5. nezlaos - Shakira - La Tortura
Quote:
Dillon - 9 - Shakira was a pretty obvious choice this round. My sister has this album so I'm aware of the song. Never been a big fan of Shakira especially her English music but this song bops. Good.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 10. “Best entry on the list. So iconic it landed on #21 on the BB Hot 100, grabbed VMA nominations, with English-language speaking people not comprehending a word Shakira said. But who cares when she’s shaking her hips all covered in mud on the music video? Excellently done Nez.”
Quote:
Anna - nezlaos - 10 - bravo! their voices are amazing together and it's just a killer beat and melody. the accordion gives it a really distinct sound and it stands out, even though it also has Shakira's signature sound. I'll forever bop to this.
Quote:
Alexz - 8.5 - One of my favorite Shakira songs, insanely catchy and her vocals are so seductive, and the fact that the amazingly talented Alejandro Sanz is featured makes it even better, his raspy vocals add more sexiness to the song.
6. johnrm - Girls Generation - Genie
Quote:
Dillon - 7 - So many girls my god...this song doesn't really get me at all. Compared to the other K-Pop Girl Group songs that were sent in...this falls flat. sorry john.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 6.5. “I’ve always had mixed thoughts for Girls Generation, and I’m actually an avid listener to gee and Paparazzi, but Genie doesn’t hit the mark for me.”
Quote:
Anna - johnrm - 7 - hm, I like this song. it's nice and catchy, they can sing, and I also had a look at the video and they have a good choreo. however, the verses seem a bit weak, the chorus is definitely the strongest part because there's nothing that really stands out to me in the rest of the song.
Quote:
Alexz - 8.5 - This song is cute and catchy! No wonder why it was very popular. One of the obvious K-pop song choices.
7. Outlaw - Juanes - La Camisa Negra
Quote:
Dillon - 8.5 - We're going to dance to this at my sister's wedding Alex. You sent in a male song which on ATRL males don't exist. But that's a good thing because it separates you from the pack. Much better than last week Alex.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 4. “So many songs from Juanes, you probably chose the less meaningful from him. I’ll give this a high score because of its actual success, but this song is a straight mess when compared to A Dios Le Pido, Nada Valgo Sin Tu Amor, Para Tu Amor, etc.”
Quote:
Anna - Outlaw - 10 - y'all are really busting out the iconic songs this round! the guitar in this is so perfect, I could listen to it forever, and I really love his voice. he's kinda telling a story in the lyrics and I like how the structure and rhythm of the song supports that. it's flawless.
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - I was very surprised by fact that it peaked at 89 on Hot 100 and has 3 gold certifications on non-Spanish speaking countries, I mean, I knew this song was successful, but I wasn't expecting this level of success, no wonder why Glee covered it. Very infectious and catchy song. Amazing job, hottie.
Dillon - 8 - I guess it's a good dance song. I expected more from you though. It sounds a bit twangy at times which is really weird considering it's K-Pop. It's a good dance song but nothing else really.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 9. “What kind of bop! This beat is Arabic as ***** but makes me want to dance right away! I’m impressed by this, simply amazing!”
Quote:
Anna - DripDrip - 8 - this has quite an exotic sound for a J-pop song, it's an interesting crossover, but the sitar gets a bit monotonous after a while. it's still a good dance song, though.
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - Yes yes yes! I freaking love this song, the Indian-Hip Hop sound is hot! This is definitely a great song for this round. Congrats.
2. iggie45 - Shakira feat. Gustavo Cerati - No
Quote:
Dillon - 8.5 - This shows a different side of Shakira! I've never heard any ballads from her. I like this more vulnerable side of her. You chose a different style of Shakira which I like. Nice.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 8. “Of course this is one of Shaki’s flawless ballads, but I’m sad you gave MLD the better and more iconic song Iggie.. No, is also incredible as almost each and everyone of Shakira’s Spanish work, but 90’s Shakira >> 00’s Shakira.”
Quote:
Anna - iggie45 - 7 - not bad, but it's also not Shakira's strongest. it's a nice ballad, everything harmonizes well, but the song itself wouldn't necessarily grab my attention.
Quote:
Alexz - 7 - Not sure why you chose this song when Shakira has a discography full of songs better than this, her vocals in this song are kinda annoying, specially when she sings "Veneno" the only things I like about this song are the lyrics and that Cerati is featured on it, other than that I think this entry is forgettable, you can do better than this Iggie, I know it.
3. Jack. - Jennifer Lopez - Qué Hiciste
Quote:
Dillon - 10 - I love this video and this song. I've listened to this song before and even though I have no clue what it's about I love it. This song charted on the BBH100 and it's in Spanish which doesn't happen often. Great entry Jack!
Quote:
Ray Bass: 7.5. “I remember this being JLo’s effort of making it in the Spanish market. This even charted on TRL when this was released. It’s a nice ballad that I sometimes use. There are better ballads overall, but it’s a nice entry overall.”
Quote:
Anna - Jack. - 10 - it's not the energetic J.Lo we know from her big dance hits, but you can still hear her Latin temperament in this song and that's what makes it so good. she sounds vulnerable in the verses and then puts all her emotion, her desperation into the chorus, which is very captivating and catchy, too. I can barely stop listening to it.
Quote:
Alexz - 8 - This song is good, not your typical Club-Banger featuring Pitsbul, plus the lyrics are so emotional and well-written, I definitely like this side of Jennifer.
4. nills - Linnea Henriksson - Lyckligare nu
Quote:
Dillon - 8 - it gets my attention. The actual music is way too loud for this girls voice though. Nothing memorable til the end where it picks up as a whole. Pretty good.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 3.5. “Too boring overall for my personal taste, so it barely grabbed my attention. I’m not here at all for the song’s production also. Mess.”
Quote:
Anna - nills - 9 - this is intriguing. there's something about this song that makes me like it, it's really catchy although I think they might have gone a bit overboard with all those synths. it makes for a nice build-up for the end, though, and I really have to mention that her voice really stood out to me.
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - I love the acoustic sound it has at the beginning plus I was very surprised when the pop sound kicked in the chorus, very experimental, and her voice is so sweet. Well done, nills, a great song choice for this round.
Dillon - 6.5 - What the **** is this?....it hurts to listen to it. This was really risky to send in an anime song and I don't believe it will pay off for you Syntax. I just really don't like this.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 5.5. “I’m not really a fan of this. It was nice to send an opening of an Anime as an entry, but I’m not really sure that makes a great song overall.”
Quote:
Anna - SyntaxError - 10 - I'm still trying to process what just hit me, they sure know how to rock! the guitar riffs and drums are insane and I love all the energy and fast-paced dynamic of the song, it's like a chase, it barely leaves you room to breathe. his voice is also crazy, kinda breathy and so high, and then there's a female vocalist, too. everything about this is awesome!
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - Is this from an anime? I'm not quite sure what kind of genre is this, I guess is some kind of rock? Anyway, I really like that you didn't submit a song with a great catchy beat or a pop song, you went for an alternative sound and that's amazing! Great job!
6. ImARudeBoy - Ritchie Valens - La Bamba
Quote:
Dillon - Classic song. It reached #1 in the US and I can't give this anything other than a 10. Only thing I will say is thaa you haven't gone outside of the box at all these 4 rounds so hopefully I see something a little different from you soon.
Quote:
Ray Bass: 10. “One of the few songs to reach #1 on the US being entirely in another language, it would be ethically wrong to give this song other than a 10. Bambaaaaaaaaaaaa Bambaaaaaaaaaa :jamming. RudeBoy, you and Lukey are probably the contenders for this season’s crown. Spectacular entries so far, you know what this game is about!”
Quote:
Anna - ImARudeBoy - 10 - a classic. what should I say about this, except that it will never not put me in a good mood and make me wanna dance and that everyone on this planet most likely feels the same.
Quote:
Alexz - 10 - I'm so impressed by the fact that this song peaked at #1 on Billboard Hot, I used to think this song was local , I never thought it was that big! Anyway this song is so good, so dancey, plus I love latin-influenced songs, such a great pick! tho I gotta admit, I'm not surprised you submitted this considering you have been an amazing contestant.
7. MusicLoverDude - Shakira - Inevitable
Quote:
Dillon - 9.5 - Iggie should have suggest No to you and took this tbh. I just want the judges to know you originally sent in Loba by Shakira so it's not like you just took another person's entry MLD. Loba would have done fine with me as well. Nice choice. Honestly, I think we were prpepared to see AYRW Spanish Version though
Quote:
Ray Bass: 10. “MLD, I don’t know if you’re aware, but you sent Shakira’s most flawless Spanish ballad along with Antología. You even ended with a better score than Iggie. I’m glad you’re taking suggestions to step your game up, this is a ravishing entry from you. Perfection executed, if you have the chance to listen to translated lyrics, please do. Great
Quote:
Anna - MusicLoverDude - 9 - I enjoyed this, it's a good tune and it's cool to see a more rock-ish side from Shakira since she usually doesn't go into that direction.
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - I love this song SO much, the lyrics are so Shakira, and the Alanis-influenced sound fits amazingly well with them, there's also an English unreleased version, tho she only performed it live once before her breakthrough (Rosie O' Donell Show)! You did great this round, MLD!
As always, each Tribe's Individual Scores have been announced. Here you will find your average score ranked upon the rest of your teammates's scores.

Congratulations Fei Long on your 2nd challenge win in a row! Salani you came in 2nd following right behind.
Unfortunately, only 20 of you will remain at the end of this Round. Puka Puka you guys fell to the bottom this round. Start talking to see who will be leaving your tribe. TheSeenScene is immune.
PCD. But besides for Puakenikeni, I could not get into any of Nicole's solo stuff. Get slayed by Puakenikeni, though.
Overall, it's an okay song but it's nothing special that makes me want to look into more of her material. Alright job.
”
”
kinda disappointed, the song is still hot tho, the flamenco influence on it is amazing.
“
It just doesn't compare to the other K-Pop songs that were used. It has a cool beat but that's really it. Decent choice.
Did people really think he was straight.....anyway I'm 95% sure me ray and four knew about this song before you sent it so that helps. It's just a fun good time song and the only Ricky song I remember. Great!
, I never thought it was that big! Anyway this song is so good, so dancey, plus I love latin-influenced songs, such a great pick! tho I gotta admit, I'm not surprised you submitted this considering you have been an amazing contestant.
