I hope the use of my avi isn't a subliminal message that I'm going home.

But first!
A message from the judges:
Charlie (funnellegs):

Quote:

Bar like 2 or 3 songs I'm really disappointed this week. I think a lot of you have just thrown swear words into your songs (some more than others) yes, swears add to the angry feel and emphasize the frustration, but sometimes it also takes the song from normal to crude & inappropriate. You need to write each song as if it's the song that'll win you the competition, not the song that'll get you through each week. There's nothing wrong with writing an angry song with intelligence and aggression that feels real; rather than juvenile bashing. My judging might seem a bit harsh this week but I feel pretty strongly about the entries this week.

Horrible week. If you got anything more than a 5 from me, consider yourself lucky. Throwing in cuss words does not constitute as portraying an angry emotion. Yes, most angry songs do have cuss words, but some of you went over the line so much I almost considered auto-elimination because I was so offended. Here's a tip when it comes to using cuss words: Less is more. If you just scatter them around your song it is going to look immature and it will come across ludicrous. The point of this round was to express your anger and sculpt it into a good song, not to write the most offensive/hurtful set of words you could. This is not okay.

The worst part is you're all good writers but a lot of you really screwed this challenge up.
If I had the sole decision is send more than one of you home..

Maybe you should've game an easier challenge.  I am not an angry person, so yah. Although I was already aware of how my song sounded.
Oh, and I counted 11 swear words in mine

Oh
--
Regarding the message, I'm sorry you feel let down this week. I enjoyed this week, but I don't know how good mine was or how the other lyrics were of course. Regarding the swearing, I don't think used bad language, but I need to go back and check. I apologise. 
EDIT: Yeah, just checked and I never swore. I hope bar that my lyrics were okay.

I will be announcing the top 3 first.

Congratulations Midnight
and Hugamari. They got the same score, so I decided to let them both be in the top 3. 
Midnight's critiques:

funnellegs - 7.5/10
Love that you based this off of something, it sounds like it could be the soundtrack to the game or something. I like that it could be about the game, or just someone you know. Very, very good!
|
Quote:
ImARudeboy - 8/10
Very unique and I loved it a lot. I'm glad you took a different route than everyone else. I didn't really know what you were talking about because I've never played/seen Silent Hill, but anyway, good job!
|
Hugamari's critiques:
Quote:
funnellegs - 7/10
You know I love your songs, but this week you've gone down in my estimation a little bit. It's definitely one of the better songs of a bad bunch, but still not up to scratch with your usual. That being said, the hook is great and I can totally see it working.
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy - 8.5
I loved this, but not as much as I usually do. Some of it seemed awkward and it didn't fit, but overall, it was actually a strong piece. I had to read it through twice to really enjoy it. Good job!
|

goes to....
Jack!

funnellegs - 7/10
The reason you've got into the 7 ranking is that the chorus sounds like it'd be catchy, the verses are better than a lot of the others as well but still not up to scratch. Decent job though.
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy - 9/10
The reason you got a 9 is because this is Grammy material compared to the other entries. I loved the execution and I loved it as a whole. Not my fave from you, though.
|

goes to....
Kavish

Quote:
funnellegs - 9/10
The only above average song this week, the rest of you need to read this so you can see how to be aggressive and still write lyrics with a touch of class. So proud of you for doing such a good job with the task, I think this would work as a kind of brooding/moody song, great work.
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy - 10/10
The standout. You wrote nothing like the rest of the people and you really made it work. Fantastic. You are almost too good to be true. You have such a way with words and you can always convey your emotions so well. Bravo!
|
If you are in the next batch, you are safe.

Wait...I actually got well received? Thought I'd be dragged for filth.  Maybe it's because I focused on metaphors and alliteration since I knew I wouldn't be that angry.

FOURTH PLACE:

funnellegs - 7.5/10
Yes Adam finaaaallllly, I'm so happy you've written something with some heart. The verse rhyme is great and I'm totally going to copy it (joke) and the chorus is good, but could use a little more. Good work!
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy - 6.5
Very good set, dude. While it wasn't up to par with some other entries, you still impressed me this week.
Side note: I want you to start having a little more faith in you and your lyrics. Every week you're complaining about how bad you feel your lyrics are and most of the time they are good lyrics. I'm not saying you have to be cocky and always impressed with your lyrics, but try to lighten up and know that you have a good talent.

FIFTH PLACE:
TheSeenScene
Quote:
funnellegs - 6.5/10
I like this, but I don't love it. It's one of the better songs, I don't really know what to say about it except work on the rhyming and the hooks, the good thing about it is the chorus, but that's it.
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy - 5.5
Eh. While it was definitely better than some of your fellow lyricists. It still wasn't great itself. It has potential if it were to be re-worked. Edit some things and I think it could be awesome.
|
SIXTH PLACE:
NaitPhoenix
Quote:
funnellegs - 6/10
Again, this is decent but not even close to your usual output. The verses are very awkward and reading them I can't even get a hint at a melody there. The chorus is better but still only just above average, I know you can do better so I hope you get through to next week.
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy - 5/10
Nait, I know you have so much more in you. I am unimpressed this week because the whole song just doesn't work. At. All.
|
The rest of the people are still up for discussion.

I'm one of those people who knows when what they do isn't as good as usual and can't shut up about it.
Like Adam to Platinum Hit is Nait to The Color Game
But I'm glad you guys liked it

One of the weaker songs this week, the verses are good and there are moments of brilliance but on the whole it's just not good. If we weren't this far in I wouldn't be as hard on you but now you need to start standing out and I can't actually remember any of your past entries, step it up.
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy - 2/10
Why would you even submit this? Like... you should have edited this or maybe even sent something new in all together. This wasn't the worst entry, but definitely think I will see you in the bottom 3. Sorry if I'm being blunt, but I'm just unimpressed.
|
The next person to leave is...
kylespearsfenty
Quote:
funnellegs - 3/10
This is very, very poor. Not only are the lyrics mainly hookless and predictable, a lot of it is actually quite offensive and I hope others would agree. I'm not going to say any more than that.
|
Quote:
ImARudeBoy 0/10
Foul. Even though this wasn't about me. I was offended even reading it. This is pure trash.
|
So that means...
DripDrip is safe! 
Quote:
funnellegs - 5/10
I like this, but I don't think there's enough to the song to justify a higher score. Not because you didn't write a full song, but because the lyrics are reading like something I've read one hundred times before. Try harder next week and maybe submit a whole song.

I know you could do light years better than this. Kind of basic and uninteresting. Boo, pick it up.
