I really wanted to sample a quote from Victor Hugo, but it does contain the word "gluttony". Is that forbidden too?

That sounds forbidden to me. But you also got a really good pairing. Gluttony and sloth go together pretty well. I have an ex who embodies those two deadly sins

I kinda wish I would have gotten Gluttony and Lust so I could write a prequel to ICON's "Birthday CAKE", called "Tunna Starter".

Either way, I'm up for the challenge of the two I got

As long as you use it effectively...

Nait Phoenix

Well, hopefully to get everyone inspired, I prepared a little ditty akin to this challenge!

I used the sins "Lust" and "Wrath" and made a very "interesting" concept on sex…

Red is the Color of Love

Normally I don't like my sinful side because it really is base, but it has the rawest emotions!

Okay so before reading that I realized I was writing more about greed then pride or wrath, but after reading that I've just re-written what I had and I think it's frigging amazing... You've inspired me

This isn't a song I would really write but I just pictured Ke$ha, so now I need to listen to her and get more inspiration.

Nait Phoenix

Thank you so much!

Awsum!

I'm glad I can be of some use in this game!

Lukey

Well suddenly my song has taken a more urban route, it's no longer Ke$ha, more Nicki...

I'm hoping this comes off well. I have majority of it done so far, so tomorrow I'll re-read it, final touches and hopefully when results are in, I'll be top 3 for once.

Hugamari

Unlike the last 2 challenges, I have something able to submit for the round already, but there are parts of it I am not all that fond of, so I am working on editing it through the rest of the week.

(It's not my usual style to do it like that, but eh)

Lukey

Okay, I've done my song... It's fine if it's a rap right? Cause I really like this rap...

Yes! Make it so!

Hugamari

I submitted rap before

One of them got either first or second place (forgot which), but yah rap is just as good of an entry as any other.

Nait Phoenix

First one done, six more to go!

Blue.

Just sent mine in. I felt like trying a whole new writing style, let's see if it works out.

Prometheus.

So here are my very late rankings/judging.

Expected

This sounds like a lot of teen-pop songs I have on my iPod… just different wording. It doesn't really tell a story and doesn't suck me into the song. It kinda feels like an emotional weatherman keeps reminding me a storm is coming.

Childish

I won't say it's bad, but you were right, it belongs in a Disney movie. Storytelling lyrics, but nothing credible to the writing world.

Hugamari

Underwhelming

You had such a monumental idea of an anarchic world that I loved, but lyrically I couldn't enjoy it. Instead of reading the lyrics to a song, it felt like a basic outline of the world you would base a sci-fi flick out of.

Boring

Isn't the whole concept of 6 months dark/6 months light already in affect at the northern and southern-most parts of the earth?

Anyway, another great concept that I wished had improved along the way, but it never got to that level of excitement in the song. I was bored while reading it.

Jack!

Plagiarism

jk. I just used that as the word to scare you. Whilst it does give me Lana Del Rey teas, I see how you made it your own. Probably the best song this week. It has a solid speed and doesn't feel awkward singing it in my head like most of the other entries this week.

Awkward

Reading this makes me feel like i'm on a boring/lifelong acid trip. But I like it. It's great in comparison to other entries this week. Solid entry.

Potential

If this was a complete song and had severe lyric changes it could have been an amazing entry. But I just don't connect to this at all. It feels stale. The only thing I like is the concept and how different it is to the rest.

Prometheus.

#1. Jack!

^I'm assuming you didn't receive MusicTalker's submission last round…

Prometheus.

I thought I was missing one. I think I got it but my computer died before I got to it.

All jokes aside, I wanna join. In fact, I'm actually a songwriter and I have more free time too. This is a good opportunity to get feedback. I won't mind getting dragged by Nait Phoenix

I write Urban and Pop/Ballads. Is this open for everybody or only certain members?

It is open for everyone but this season is already half-way over. I'll contact you when next season starts but it won't be for a while.

You can always just post/PM your lyrics and ask for feedback, though!

Jackson

Really interested in this when the next season starts! Do you post any of the winner's lyrics? I'd like to see them if they're available.

The lyrics of any of our contestants are only posted under the writer's discretion. We never post someone else's work unless asked or given permission by the writer him or herself.

Sorry, but we're strong believers in preserving trust around here. You'll have to ask the round winners if they'll allow it.
