It's fine! And I would've used I'm So Stupid (  ) but you already did. And you had the same problem as me, too. I'm surprised you didn't pick Yummy (  ).

Whats wrong with ppl voting off Madonna? that song is the worst on the album, and I completely agree with the explanation
Anw, Madonna has very polarizing votes this round

Guys, no shade but every judge has been choosing their outfits since round 1. I just choose my own Shakira's. There are times when I pick the other judges' because their picture didn't work or because the picture wasn't full-body.

I see your point. To be honest, I do like this song, I think it has a cool feeling attached to it and even a sweet tone that is contrasted with the lyrics and the meaning of it. Nonetheless, I do think you stated some interesting points to look at it with a different perspective. Overall I have mixed feelings because I like the song but you stated some interesting points, you kinda convinced me when you said it was repetitive.
2. Chill Bill - Janelle Monáe - The Electric Lady: 9,5/10
You came for BLOOD this time around! You dragged Janelle's song to the pits!!! I was laughing while reading it but the funny thing is... You are right. The beat is dead and boring and I completely get what you mean when you use your irony on this. Good job, mean girl!
3. Penk - Gotye - Making Mirrors: 10/10
You made me feel bad for giving a very good score to Chill Bill after dragging your album because you kept it really classy (sorry Chill, love you but you were the Nicki Minaj here, Penk was the Mariah). I actually enjoy what I am listening but I get your point and I think you made perfect sense... Wait, it is already over?
4. Jake. - Madonna - American Life: 9/10
You did something no one else did: focusing as well in the album but you ended up focusing more on the album than in the song itself. You should've find a way that you could talk about both in the same percentage but this won't influence a lot your score because I did enjoy the read eventhough I do like this song, a lot, except when she does this baby annoying voice. Overall you did great! |

I often forget this song is on the album, so I think you made the right choice. I like how you explained your hate for it too, I found it convincing but not over the top. By labelling this song forgettable and meaningless, you really put the final nail in the coffin.
8/10
2. Chill Bill - Janelle Monáe - The Electric Lady: Victory
Not one of my favourite songs on the album! 
To be honest, I did hear you out - I just couldn't get behind what you were saying here. Your main problem is that she doesn't come out and say what little things she's celebrating? Seems kind of irrelevant. The thing about Janelle's music is that it's always layered and open to analysis and interpretation. Surmising that it doesn't give you enough information about what she's singing about seems kind of silly, in my opinion.
5/10
3. Penk - Gotye - Making Mirrors: Making Mirrors
Hmmm...I see your point about an opening track and how it should set up the theme for album, but I wonder if this is more of an intro vs an opening track. I'll be the first to admit I don't know the album inside out, so I wonder if there could have been a better choice here. You're right that it's a bit forgettable, but I wonder if he was going for more of an intro rather than a big bold opener.
7/10
4. Jake. - Madonna - American Life: Mother and Father
Fabulous choice. I love the album, but have always struggled with the lyrics on this track. It's just a bit...much. I wonder if Madonna could have explored the theme in a way that was a little more layered and not so "hitting you over the head".
8/10 |

All I can say is you went innnnnn. You dragged it back and forth and it's definitely one of the weakest tracks.
10/10
2. Chill Bill - Victory
I can see how you got to your argument here. You made it clear why the song doesn't work and why it isn't as good as others. My Only complaint is that you could've been even meaner, more of a bitch.
7/10
3. Penk - Making Mirrors
I think you did a solid job in your dragging. You picked the right song and you punched it thoroughly. Nice job mean girl.
9/10
4. Jake. - Mother And Father
I really don't feel like this was the worst. At least I got that vibe based on your essay. You weren't mean enough to this. It was not convincing enough for me.
6.5/10

BUUUURRRRRRRRNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!!!!! But I totally agree with you. This song is an outright bore. Like what was that? I love how you really go in on the song and even draw in the reviews, it's a nice touch! Good Job.
Point: 9/10
2. Chill Bill - Janelle Monáe - The Electric Lady: Victory
Chill Billlll! That was harsh...I loved it!! I love how you really destroy the song. You literally make the song more like a joke than the song it really is. The song honestly doesn't sound that bad to me but after your essay, it's hard to take the song seriously!
Point: 9/10
3. Penk - Gotye - Making Mirrors: Making Mirrors
I WANTED YOU TO GO IN ON THIS SONG!! Your essay doesn't trash this song, it's more like just "ehh, I know it's bad but Gotye has other good songs". The point of this round is to DESTROY your opponent and you didn't do a very thorough job at that.
Point: 5/10
4. Jake. - Madonna - American Life: Mother and Father
I am in full agreement with you on this song. What sort of mess is this?! I also love the fact that you also went after the album as a whole and reduced it to nothings. It was brutal, it was convincing, it was SPOT ON!
Point: 10/10

Choose The Album, Then a Song 5: The Almost Final Results
LADIES & GENTLEMAN... CHOOSE THE ALBUM, THEN A SONG IS BACK!
Welcome to the almost last part of the last results show.
As you know, we're about to know the contestants that are leaving us but first, let me clarify you about how we came to these results.
The public vote counts 50% and the judges votes other 50%. They are mixed in points and then added, pretty simple! When, counting the public vote, if there's a tie, the way I have to untie it is by the 'save votes', whoever got more save votes, gets ahead; in case it's impossible to untie, I'll just go by the person that got the FIRST save.
As for the judges votes, whenever there's a tie, the method is to go back to the public votes and see who did better. If there's a tie in the FINAL results, then, whoever did better within the judges gets ahead. Here's the NEW points distribution:
1. 75 Points
2. 50 Points
3. 25 Points
4. 15 Points
This time around, I won't be creating that complex table with all the points, you have access to them (in the past posts) and you have access to the points distribution so I'll be just presenting the final results!
ROUND ELEVEN: THE FINAL RESULTS
1. collin - Gwen Stefani - The Sweet Escape: 100 Points. 2nd Place.
2. Chill Bill - Janelle Monáe - The Electric Lady: 65 Points. 3rd Place.
3. Penk - Gotye - Making Mirrors: 40 Points. 4th Place.
4. Jake. - Madonna - American Life: 125 Points. 1st Place.
THE FINAL CHART
TBA
Right now, it is all in your contestants hands. They have the power to make an action with the points they made this challenge:
a) Add ALL the points to their albums;
b) Take off ALL the points of the album they represented this round;
c) SPLIT the points between their album and the album represented.
The decision needs to be made until TOMORROW via PM!

I did not expect to do well this challenge, so thank you everyone! Thanks for the tip, Pedro!
Do we all make our own decision, or do we have to all agree collectively?

Chill Bill I'm feeling your pain right now. Went through exactly the same thing last season.

How exactly does option b work? Does that mean I take away all 65 points from Chill Bill? I don't really get that one.

I'm probably gonna be out
But that's ok! I made it really far either way. Plus, I already have an album picked out for next season. It's a bit risky (ok, it's a LOT risky), but I'm curious to see how far I can get with it.

Ah okay, thanks! But if Chill Bill picks option a with me picking option b, then how would that work? Since that means I took away his 65 points, yet he is still adding 65 points to his own album?
NVM, got it!

I must just be tired or something, but this twist makes no sense to me and I don't know what to do
How many points do I have? Am I allowed to distribute them along everyone?

Basically you can choose:
1) keep your 100 points, and add them onto American Life
2) take your 100 points and subtract them from my album's total points
3) take your 100 points and split them 50/50 with me
Choose wisely, Collin.
