Hello Castaways! It's the time to reveal your scores for the 5th Round of the game. The results and scoring will work exactly the same as previous rounds.
Let's get started...
Puka Puka
1. TheSeenScene - Taylor Swift - We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together
Quote:
|
Dillon - 9 - She's definitely feeling good about the split. The only minor thing I can find wrong is that I highly doubt anyone but 12 - 16 year olds will really listen to this song if they have a breakup. It's just so childish. But it's what I asked for so still a nice entry.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 10. “Such a safe choice, you probably hurried to Dillon’s inbox to submit this. Taylor basically wrote this, as said by herself, as a “fun breakup anthem”, so there’s no way you could go wrong on this one Scene. Nice job.”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - TheSeenScene - 7 - ugh. it's definitely positive, but the song just sounds so childish and since she has gone back to him several times before, who knows if she really means it. I guess it works as a breakup anthem for teens.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 10 - This is probably the most obvious song choice but it's also the strongest one, who else but the most heartbroken girl on the industry to deliver such an amazing break-up anthem with a catchy beat and a funny yet so serious lyrics? I don't think anyone will top this song, like...EVER!
|
2. MWB - Mariah Carey - Someday
Quote:
|
Dillon - 8 - I like the song. It's a bit of a reach saying it's a break up anthem but it works in a way. I had to look at the lyrics to find the empowerment lines. Pretty good. Nothing special.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 7. “I usually love Mariah but this song is kinda rocky for my taste, as I can’t find nothing special about it aside from its lyrics, it’s a great song though and it surely has breakup empowerment lines on it”.
|
Quote:
|
Anna - MWB - 5 - what bothers me about this song is that she's more talking about him, how he's gonna regret his decision to leave her, instead of talking about her own feelings. definitely not the perfect choice for this round, but it has a happy vibe so I guess she's not sad about the break up.
|
Quote:
Alexz - 9 - Now this is an amazing song, I didn't expected Mariah to deliver such a catchy break-up anthem. He definitely regrets leaving her. Well done, boo. 
|
3. AdamAL4 - Gwen Stefani - Cool
Quote:
|
Dillon - 7.5 - Me and Four talked about your entry for a while so feel special Adam. The example showed that it's about being better off without the other person and she hangs with him and his girlfriend but then part of me thinks this was a good way to think outside of the box. I'm really bipolar with this one Adam.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 9. “I love this song to the extreme, I swear the lyrics are out of this world. Not exactly empowermental, but she’s glad to know everything’s fine between her exbeau and her, and she’s ready to move on. Cool slays lives though.”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - AdamAL4 - 8 - I'm pretty sure this is not what Dillon had in mind for the challenge, and I was confused about this song at first, too, but I actually think it works for the most part. the fact that she's 'cool' with her ex now shows that she is okay with not being together anymore, she knows he wasn't the right one for her and even has a new love now who is better for her. however, the song talks more about their relationship/friendship than the break up itself, that's the only thing that makes it not a 100% fit for this challenge. still, nice out of the box thinking.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 6 - This song doesn't quite fits in this "Break-up anthem" theme, I mean yes she's happy they broke up but she still hangs out with him AND his girlfriend I was expecting a "I'm happy we broke up don't need you, goodbye" kind of song. Not your best, Adam.
|
4. BlazingLovatic - Aly & AJ - Potential Breakup Song
Quote:
|
Dillon - 8 - Aww, I love Aly & AJ! It's obviously a break up song...something you're gonna blast after a breakup? not really.
|
Quote:
Ray Bass: 8. “What kind of boyfriend does not call her girlfriend on her birthday? Like seriously child..  Lyrics are kinda childish and teeny, but I must say I find this quite empowermental, specially on the hook, and of course, on the song’s name.  ”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - BlazingLovatic - 1 - the title should have been a hint that this is not the right song for this round: POTENTIAL break up song. there are problems in the relationship, but they haven't broken up yet, she's just saying they're close to it and he'd regret it if they did. and then there's the last part, "this is the potential MAKE UP song, please just admit you're wrong, which will it be?". so she basically doesn't even want to break up. maybe you should spend more time considering your own choices instead of those of your tribe mates. btw, you made a thread asking if Cry Me A River is a break-up song because you weren't sure? my doubts if you belong in this game are getting bigger every day.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 10 - No wonder why this was so successful despite the girls being on HR, it's amazingly catchy, sassy and addictive...definitely a great choice this round.
|
5. Jolie's Lips - Beyonce - Single Ladies
Quote:
|
Dillon - 7.5 - I'm not saying this isn't a better song than Potnetial Breakup Song etc. but I consider this more of just a Female Empowerment song than A Break Up Anthem...I think you should have stuck with Survivor.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass 8. “Obviously iconic. Beyonce flaunts on how her ex-beau should’ve placed a ring on her hand if she wanted to have all of Queen B for himself, now it’s too late. I find this a women empowerment anthem more than a breakup anthem, but it’s still good”.
|
Quote:
|
Anna - Jolie's Lips - 5 - this seems to be more about her ex being jealous now that she's enjoying her freedom being single? sure, it emplies that she's over him because she's moving on, but the song doesn't really have anything to do with their break up, she's just telling him it's too late to come back to her now.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 6.5 - This song it's more of a break-up-I'm doing great since we broke up but I still want you anthem, she's not fully over him, she still wants him back: "Pull me into your arms, say I'm the one you want".
|
6. Middle of Selena - Rihanna - Take A Bow
Quote:
|
Dillon - 9.5 - Not all Break Up songs have to be uptempo and have powerful vocals. This song is chill and simple but it get's straight to the point. Take A Bow and it's over. Nice job Dhruv!
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 9. “Show is over! Rihanna seems really conviced there’s been enough of her relationship, and decides the curtain is gonna finally close. Excellent done Middle, you bumped back from you Cocktail song of last round. ”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - Middle of Selena - 8.5 - this song basically takes you to the exact moment where they broke up. she's kicking him out because he's a cheater and a liar and she seems happy to get rid of him, however, it's not directly addressed in the lyrics. she's talking more about what he did, how he hurt her and that she was a fool to believe him. I have to take away from the score a bit for that but it's still a good choice.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 7 - It's a good break-up anthem, but she's more sad/angry than happy.
|
Salani
1. Hugamari - Ke$ha - This Is Me Breaking Up With You
Quote:
|
Dillon - 7 - I'm mad because you actually comprehended the theme but this song is one of her worst unreleased tracks. She has alot of good ones like Styrofoam that could have worked. This was not a good choice Hugamari. I love Ke$ha...but not that much.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 5. “I mean, yes… she’s breaking up with him, but the lyrics – “See you later, Alligator” ?, it seems Ke$ha sometimes can’t even take herself seriously as a songwriter. This might be a breakup anthem for 7 years olds, though.”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - Hugamari - 10 - this song is so basic, but since you're the first one to do justice to the theme I'll let it slide. she's breaking up with him because she's not interested in him anymore, she's obviously over him and happy to move on.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 8.5 - This song is good, it has this 80s vibe to it, and the fact it was co-written by the talented writer/producer Gregg Walls makes it even better. This is me giving you a great score since it really fits this round theme.
|
2. iLukey - All American Rejects - Gives You Hell
Quote:
|
Dillon - 9.5 - Finally someone else with a good song that fits the theme. He sounds a bit bitter but other than that it's almost exactly what I asked for.Staying strong..
|
Quote:
Ray Bass: 9. “I always found this song different from all other AAR’s work, but it obviously fits the theme. It’s not my favorite jam from them, but still good. When you see my face, hope it GIVES YOU HELL. Well, I guess he’s obviously over her.  ”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - iLukey - 7.5 - I'm under the impression he's a little bitter about her leaving him, I'm not sure. he's not talking much about his own feelings, it's all about how he hates her now so he clearly hasn't moved on from the whole thing. at least he wakes up with a big smile on his face, that somewhat saved you.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 10 - See, this is the kinds of song that will give you perfect score! Such a great infectious sassy break-up anthem.
|
3. Adr - Cher - Believe
Quote:
Dillon - 8 - Not your best I mean I didn't even think this song was about break ups til today . It was your 4th choice after all so I think this round was just bad timing on both our parts. You had 3 better entries lined up. Sorry Adrian 
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 8. “The song is obviously iconic, and an anthem on its own right. I’m just not sure if Cher is completely over his ex. She knows he’s gonna be the lonely one after the breakup, but she does state on the song she needs time to move on. Great entry anyways Adr, very refreshing to see this entry.”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - Adr - 7 - iconic song alert! but let's see.. this is really tough. the overall vibe I get from this is that she is sad he left and actually isn't quite sure if she can survive without the guy. the music is uplifting and somewhat energetic, making you think she's thinking positively, but there is still a voice inside her that tells her she's not strong enough on her own. then the bridge happens, and she's exclaiming she doesn't need him anymore, so suddenly it's like she's overcome her doubts? I'm not sure.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 10 - I never really payed attention to the lyrics until now, what kind of inspirational break-up anthem? You never dissapoint, Adr.
|
4. Stevie - Amy Winehouse - Tears Dry On Their Own
Quote:
|
Dillon - 8 - This is different. I always like Amy's lyrics so I could see as this could work. Not all break up anthems have to be in your face and loud so this is cute. Nothing more.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 8.5. “Yaaaas Stevie stan for Queen Amy’s flawless lyricism. As Amy states : “I'll be some next man's other woman soon”, nobody is irreplaceable, she’s over him. Great job!”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - Stevie - 6 - I don't think she's happy about this break up. she knows she will get over it eventually because there's no chance the relationship will work out, but for now she is sad and remorseful because she is so attached to the guy.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 6.5 - Such a great song, but for me it doesn't quite fits the theme because she indeed regrets being with him but at the ends she sad and lonely.
|
5. nezlaos - Ace of Base - I Saw the Sign
Quote:
|
Dillon - 8 - Very different. It sounds very reggae. It fits the theme. You thought outside the box. I'm just not a fan of it. But you stayed on point so nice job nezlaos.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 8. “I saw the sign and it opened up my eyes – I saw your entry and I gave you a good score! Nice old song to refresh some memories of early breakup anthems, great Nez!”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - nezlaos - 10 - freaking Ace of Base! I wish I could get you a 20 because I love this song and it's perfect for the theme. she saw the sign, she left him and she's happy now. that's all we asked for this round.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 10 - The reggae-influenced sound on this makes me wanna dance, and it's a freaking break-up anthem song! Such a bop! I gotta give you props for choosing an old song, not so many people did that this round! Congrats.
|
6. johnrm - Taylor Swift - Back To December
Quote:
|
Dillon - 1 - "This is me saying im SORRY for that night". The night is the night they ended their relationsip. You did not read the OP of this Round and it shows. She's saying she regrets everything and goes back to those nights all the time. It's like the opposite of what we wanted. im sorry but this is one of the worst entries of both this season and last season.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 1. “Probably one of the worst entries I’ve seen on my both seasons as a judge. This song barely fits the round, as Taylor REGRETS the whole breakup thing the whole song, saying how she would like to go Back To December to fix everything. Mess. .
|
Quote:
|
Anna - johnrm - 1 - I'm really sorry, but you completely missed the theme. I mean, it's about a break-up, but she's sad about it! she regrets it, she wishes she could go back in time and make it all right again. she is not happy without him, she misses him, she's basically living in memories of their relationship. we wanted a song that is the opposite so you basically supplied us with an anti-example. you're lucky your tribe mates made better decisions.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 4 - Oh John, what happened here? This is not a break-up anthem, at all. She's not happy they broke-up, she's sad and regrets leaving him.
|
7. Outlaw - Daughtry - Over You
Quote:
|
Dillon - 9 - The title is over you so there's no doubt he's over her. I saw the name Daughtry and sighed but this actually really works for this round and judging by the lackluster competition this round you did great.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 9. Yes! Outlaw I’m glad we’re finally on the same page… Daughtry should’ve seen this one coming long long time ago, but he’s definitely better without her. Excellent entry!”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - Outlaw - 10 - good choice! he's describing the process of getting over her when he thought he never would. the bridge is particularly great, because he makes it quite clear how his life changed for the better after her departure.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 7.5 - Such an emotional break-up song, and I guess you picked this song for a very personal reason, but it isn't exactly what we asked for, the songs talk about this guy who is trying to convince himself he's over the girl but in reality he's still healing all this wounds...anyway, don't forget I'm here for you, tocayo!

1. DripDrip - The Pretty Reckless - Since You're Gone
Quote:
|
Dillon - 10 - so Anna chose this as her revision entry during the final 4 last season...and we obviously approved. Me gusta. Not a Pop song and that works amazingly this round.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 7. “Let me start by saying I’m in love with Taylor Momsen because she’s hot as *****, and the lyrics definetly fit since her exbf is gone, she’s been way better. I’m just not feeling the overall tone of the song, it’s maybe a bit too dark. I know TPR are usually this way though, just that this is not what I would sing to get out of a breakup”.
|
Quote:
|
Anna - DripDrip - 10 - yasss! last season, when we had to revisit each round and reconsider our choices, I picked this as my new entry for the break up theme because I think it's just perfect. the guy is gone and her life has only gotten better, she definitely doesn't want him back. I'm really digging your taste.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 9 - Yes, not a pop song! People should actually start taking risks and think outside of the box just like you...anyway, I don't see myself hearing this type of songs, it's too rock for my taste, but since we were expecting this kind of break-up songs, I think you aren't going anywhere this round.
|
2. iggie45 - Trapt - Headstrong
Quote:
|
Dillon - 6.5 - I know this song! I wasn't sure of the band though. However, it's more of a **** anyone who stands in my way than a breakup song. It could work both ways but I can't reach that far with these small arms.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 7 “I always thought of this song as a “***** You” to people in general without making any specification, and never thought about it as a breakup anthem. Yes it fits, but its not exactly meant for relationships unless you make it to be a breakup anthem on your own.”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - iggie45 - 1 - this is a good song, but sadly it completely misses the theme. I didn't get a break up vibe from it at all, neither from looking at the lyrics nor from listening at it, and when I looked up the meaning it confirmed that it's about something completely different. he talks about being strong and not letting others push you off of the path you've chosen for yourself. I know songs can be interpreted very individually, but personally I really don't see anything break up related here.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 5 - I was so happy and excited about your submission because it isn't your typical break-up anthem sang by a female popstar, but then I did my research and found that this isn't about a relationship or a break-up, is more about being headstrong and "not let anyone push you off your path".
|
3. Jack. - Lily Allen - I Could Say
Quote:
|
Dillon - 8 - I love Lily as a person. But I was expecting somethign sassy from a girl like her and this falls a bit flat for me. It's good and different but not memorable imo.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 10. “PERFECTION. Best entry this round. Lily’s voice fits perfectly with the way she sings her lyrics, as she’s finally free of her cage, and feels older now that she doesn’t has to deal with her ex-beau. Excellent Jack!”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - Jack. - 10 - woohoo, Lily! I used Smile for this round in Season 1, but your song is actually a much better entry! she talks about her new found freedom after the relationship ended and without a doubt she's enjoying it. breaking up with this guy was a relief for her. awesome choice!
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 8 - I kinda dissapointed since expected an amazing fierce, sassy "**** you, I'm better without you" kind of song since Lily is just so bold and outspoken, not her best lyrically and sonically, but still cute, and it definitely fits this round theme.
|
4. nills - Maroon 5 - Makes Me Wonder
Quote:
|
Dillon - 9 - I don't agree with the judges on this one. "So this is goodbye." It's a done deal and I think it works for this round regardless of the other opinions nills.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 6. “I know this is a good song, and it talks about breakups, and even though Adam does states how he wonders if her girlfriend ever gave a f*ck about him, this doesn’t sound that empowermental at all.”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - nills - 7 - he's singing about a relationship gone wrong, and doesn't seem to care about the girl anymore. I think he still kinda regrets that things didn't work out for them, though.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 6.5 - You made the same mistake as Jolie's Lips, this song sure talks about a failed relationship and how the guy is leaving the girl, but he's not happy, he still wants her back, he wants her to change and give him a reason to not leave her. This is not what we wanted you guys to submit.
|
5. SyntaxError - Grace Potter & The Nocturnals - It's That Phone
Quote:
|
Dillon - 8 - Oh so she's not picking up the phone? cool.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 9.5 “Talk about a rock empowerment breakup anthem!! I’m used to see Pop ones, but this one is amazing! She’s not picking up the phone because it’s time for her ex-beau to be alone!! Nice Syntax!”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - SyntaxError - 7 - she's breaking up by simply ignoring his calls? interesting. well, she talks about how she doesn't want him anymore because apparently he's done some stuff she didn't like, but she predicts he'll want her back. I don't see any comment from her on her feelings/emotional situation, though, she seems quite matter-of-fact about this.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 8.5 - This song is thematically similar to "Cry Me A River", "I moved on from you, but I want you to suffer" It's a cute song, and I love the girl's voice! Great choice.
|
6. ImARudeBoy - Justin Timberlake - Cry Me A River
Quote:
|
Dillon - 9 - Yeah he wants her to suffer but he seems brokenhearted regardless of what he's saying in the song. I still enjoy this entry though. Nice.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 10. “What can I say.. Justin states the mistakes of her previous relationship, and now it’s her turn.. to CRY! Iconic and flawless, as usual Rude Boy.”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - ImARudeBoy - 7 - another classic, but I don't see this fitting completely. he exposed her cheating and says it's over, yes. I don't think he's too happy about it, though, he seems quite brokenhearted about the situation.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz - 9.5 - It's been 10 year since the song was released and still sounds fresh to me. Anyway, this is one of those "I'm happy I got over you but I want you to suffer" kind of songs, it really is a great song choice this round, kind of predictable but still great nonetheless.
|
7. MusicLoverDude - Destiny's Child - Survvior
Quote:
|
Dillon - 9 - It's about the other girls leaving the group. However, it can be interpreted many different ways since they sing "thought i'd be ______ without YOU" so it can crossover to breakup territory. Very good.
|
Quote:
|
Ray Bass: 10. “Clearly a breakup anthem, I was shocked no Season 1 contestant sent this the first time around. Beyoncé drags her ex-beau in this empowermental anthem. Flawlessly done MLD, you’re improving!”
|
Quote:
|
Anna - MusicLoverDude - 4 - Ryan.. this song is not a break up song. it's about some of the members leaving the group and there's a few parts in the lyrics that make it quite clear. however, interpretations are always subjective and there can be more than one meaning, and in this case I can see why this would help people get over a break up so I'll give you some points for that, even though the song doesn't really address that topic.
|
Quote:
|
Alexz -10 - If I could give you a 20 I would, but 10 is the max score so..this is THE break-up anthem, my favorite this round, and the fact that the show inspired the writers makes it the best entry.
|
Score's coming...
