Did you do your artist proud?! 
 PeopleLikeUs - My Party With You (Avril Lavigne)

This seems more of a Kesha song than it does an Avril song… I mean, it's basically "party party party, ooh, hot guy, party party party, dirty rooms and people, party party and more party!" I mean, Avril is a spunky, rocker rebel with a don't care attitude, and I just couldn't get the feel of Avril from this song… If you know your artist well and what they usually sing, then it should be easy to make a hit song for them. I don't think Avril would take this, sorry…

GotSkill - Bulldog (Imagine Dragons)

Wow, these are amazing. The imagery in the lyrics is so… gritty?… I don’t even know how to describe what your lyrics made me feel. These are brilliant written, you stuck to the task well and I’m kinda floored. I think you might have my favourite lyrics of the season.

Lemme start by saying how odd I find it that you like both Katy Perry and Imagine Dragons. Only other person I know that likes both is my mom.  Anyway, it definitely sounds rock...but to be honest, I can't see much difference between this and other rocks groups...like Linkin Park. They're different types of rock, sure, but I don't see much difference lyrically. |

It seems a little too personal for Imagine Dragons. When it comes to writing for a band or a group, you can be personal, but it has to read/sound like anyone could sing it and feel what the writer felt. I mean, calling myself a bulldog doesn't make me feel as strong as I should, and I'm sure there is an animal out there that more people could relate strength to besides a bulldog! Any solo artist, I'd have no issue with this song, but not for Imagine Dragons…

EuphorianSea - Eclectic (Christina Aguilera)

These were nice, not your best. It seemed to flow much better, so I’m glad to see you improving in that sense. They were simple and enjoyable to read, you did a great job, well done. My only thing is I felt it was a bit too lengthy in the bridge. Take into consideration song parts and how length differs in different song sections.

The first part of the chorus I could definitely hear Christina on, but the second part is iffy...especially considering how awkwardly it ends. I mean, besides for that awkward part, it was a pretty solid entry. I'm not sure if this was your intent or not, but it could actually be easier to write for someone who usually doesn't write for themselves anyway, as they could stick to a particular subject, but writing styles could vary since different songwriters have written different songs for them throughout their career. I think that gave you a sort of boost in this round.

I think what's really killing me about this song is how I can't picture Xtina on this at all! This is so wordy that it's hard to imagine any big singer singing this! You're a great writer, but I can tell from this you can't write for a pop artist. You're deeper and more complicated than you need to be…

Tymps. - Symbiosis (Fiona Apple)

I'll be honest - I'm not cultured or knowledgeable enough about "real music" to know what Fiona Apple's writing style is...so I'm just going to take it at face value and say...yep. It's something you'd write. A bit short, but as I am aware, you're strapped for time these days.

Yeah, it's perfect for Fiona Apple. However, what this challenge demonstrated to me is that you couldn't deal with pop artists, therefore your songwriting could only amount to so much… Don't disband the ideas of pop songwriting so quickly next time; it, too, is a worthwhile art form, especially when you only have the words to convey the emotion…

Prometheus. - Hallelujah (Rihanna)

Sexy. Haha. There isn’t much more to say. Great lyrics themselves and you definitely brought it with the sexiness, some bits were even nasty. (Funnily enough, it’s the “wetter” line I’m talking about, lmao) The religious undertones really worked here too, get that controversy though. Great work.

Rihanna IS one for controversy, but that hook seems downright disrespectful! Leading up to it couldn't have been better… it was preparing for that big hook being both a little raunchy and a little clean. To be honest, I kinda wished you cursed or something; create this whole sacrilegious irony or something. This is great as an album track for Rihanna…

EatmeZayn - Lukewarm (Lorde)

Originally posted by Jack Lees
Good work! Definitely channelling Lorde, so you did the task well. There were some real golden parts of these lyrics, certain lines in the choruses left me in awe, but the overall feel left me wanting a little bit more. Nonetheless your lyrics always deliver and these were still great. Good job!

ctrl+f "teeth" - 0 results. Welp, that's disappointing. I see broken, though, so that's good. Guess it'd go right along with her other songs.

It's good writing, but it's lacking the anti-social aspect that makes up Lorde. If I was to sum up your song, you're in love and people don't understand. That's half of the equation… This other half is more Lana Del Rey. Had your artist been Lana Del Rey, this would've been a winner…

feelslikeadream - Burn (Taylor Swift)

Originally posted by Jack Lees
I like these! They’re really informative and sound like one of Taylor’s typical love songs. Haven’t got much to fault. I feel like I’ve connected more with some of your other lyrics, so they weren’t my favourite of yours, nor were they my favourite this week, so good job!

Originally posted by Hugamari
Only part that really struck me as something Taylor would write is the end of the chorus, but I've not the slightest bit of clue why. Anything else seemed like something any artist with a decent writing team could throw together.

Originally posted by Nait Phoenix
Aside from the word "afterglow" this is probably the perfect song for Taylor. It's simple, it's effective, and it's about love not working out i.e. it's Taylor Swift! You really did figure out the equation of a Taylor Swift song well!  |
Scorpio King - Set the World on Fire (Adam Lambert)

Originally posted by Jack Lees
Um, I wasn’t a huge fan of these honestly. They felt empty and a little too lacklustre for this far on in the game, you gotta cut like a knife if you wanna make it to the next round, I feel like you played it too safe. Nothing too special jumped out at me about these lyrics this round sadly. I’m sure you’ll be fine, but hoping for more next round from you!

What is there to say about 'Set The World on Fire'? I could imagine him singing it...but hmm...this just gives me male P!nk teas moreso than something that Adam Lambert would want for himself. I guess, what I'm saying is, I can imagine him singing it, but I can't imagine it being his song.

I read the first two lines and immediately thought "this could definitely be an Adam Lambert song". The pre-chorus and chorus could be stronger; it feels way too safe! Other than that, you really capture the strength, passion, and pop quality of an Adam Lambert song!  |

My comments are pretty much opposite from both of yours for nearly everyone.

The "teeth" hint being for EatMeZayn all along

You know, I was originally going to do song title hints for everyone (which is why #1 is a song title), but I couldn't think of anything for Lorde that wouldn't be a dead giveaway, so I thought of how she has 2 singles with the mention of the word "teeth" in them, and a song called "White Teeth Teens". Teeth are like Lorde's thing.

You could've done "Everybody Wants to Rule the World"… her cover on The Hunger Games…

Well, we have another game changing moment…
Our top writer this week and the winner of immunity is…
NO ONE!
We actually have a three-way tie, but the scores themselves do not amount to a top writer, so for this round immunity is scrapped altogether… This means "try harder next time"…
Plus, those who scored out of the bottom two…
1st/2nd/3rd - EatmeZayn, feelslikeadream & Tymps. - ★★★★★★★★⅓
8 1/3 STARS
4th - EuphorianSea & GotSkill - ★★★★★★★★
8 STARS
6th - Prometheus. - ★★★★★★★⅔
7 2/3 STARS
And our bottom two…
PeopleLikeUs
Scorpio King
Who out of the bottom two leaves this round…
Well, our final contestant in is…
Scorpio King - ★★★★★★★⅓
7 1/3 STARS
PeopleLikeUs, with only ★★★★★★ six stars, you will not be going platinum this season. But your score is not the only reason you are being let go. I understand the journey you have to take outside of ATRL, and I'm sure everyone here is going to wish you the best of luck on your way! You're free to tell them all the details… As of now, we are sorry to let you go, but I hope you continue your songwriting journey outside the competition.
