I will say I am legitimately shocked @ my placement, given I thought I wrote some fire, but I haven't read the other entries...except Era's. I read his and I was like "Welp, he absolutely killed it.". I called #1 before I even saw the results.  Huge congratulations to him! 
I mean, I should be happy considering 8th is my second highest peak this season, but back when I hit #9, it was impressive with 50 people playing. Now I'm 8th, and 10th was the cutoff. It's just not as impressive feeling these days. 
I really am happy to have made it into the Top 10, though!  Kinda don't want to see the leaderboard since I know I'm on the bottom of it Guess it's motivation for me to...keep...trying. |
It's never too late to pull a Matty.

 My Entry
A short explanation: When it came to writing for BEYONCÉ there were two main approaches that had a lot of inspiration on my entry for this week. Firstly, I loved how ambitious and artistically bold the album was, particularly in its feminist approach to sexuality and love, but also in the honest and sometimes dark way that Beyoncé approached more personal and emotional topics. Secondly I really loved the way that certain songs felt like they were split into different parts yet still worked together thematically. I wanted to include a rapped intro that transitioned into a song and aimed to create something that was as confident and boundary breaking as BEYONCÉ truly was.
"King"
INTRO:
Take me far back in time
Daddy tell me what’s on your mind
Love it when you do it like that
Take the ice, run it down my back
Legs go up ‘round your neck
Go ahead, baby let it drip
Lick that liquour drippin’ from my lips
Head so heavy, clouds in the sky
I’ll be dreaming about you tonight
Dream of you tonight
Said I’ll be dreaming of you tonight
Got no worries on my mind
*Instrumental transition*
VERSE:
My heart it’s lost
In clouded thoughts
Want you here with me
You’re all I need…
I’m high on that love
Boy let’s take it too far
Come to me as you are
CHORUS:
You and I we on the same level
I could be your devil,
I could be your angel
Show you heaven like you never seen
Love it when I feel you inside of me
Now let me sit on the throne
Yes, let me sit on top
I’ll be the queen of your love
I’ll be the queen of your love
You give me everything I want
VERSE:
Feening for that power
Baby I let you discover
Take it all like I know you wanna win
Explore the depths, and dive right in
Oh daddy, you be my gangsta
Swerving up on your ride
Can you handle this tonight?
CHORUS:
You and I we on the same level
I could be your devil,
I could be your angel
Show you heaven like you never seen
Love it when I feel you inside of me
Now let me sit on the throne
Yes, let me sit on top
I’ll be the queen of your love
I’ll be the queen of your love
You give me everything I want
BRIDGE:
By the looks of it we’ve been changing
And its not as if I’m complainin’
But this life, its been weighin’
On me
And my mind’s been going places
I tried driving these roads aimless
You said you were always honest
You said how badly you wanted
I know I felt it
I just thought that you meant it
Starting to doubt that we will make it
Then you come inside and take it
Show me distant places
My heart it longs…
CHORUS:
You and I we on the same level
I could be your devil,
I could be your angel
Show you heaven like you never seen
Love it when I feel you inside of me
Now let me sit on the throne
Yes, let me sit on top
I’ll be the king of your love
I’ll be the king of your love
You give me everything I want

It was supposed to come back this week, but it'd be really counter productive.
The leaderboard I was going to post would be the PLΔTINUM LEADERBOARD from round 1 up to the last round, but the positions from #5 (I think) to #10 were so extremely close that #10 would feel like a flop for absolutely no reason.

I wouldn't, you can all make your personal estimates about your scores. You can make estimates about other people's scores and about the leaderboard too, but unfortunately we're dealing with really detailed scores now so it's impossible to get a correct or near correct estimate

Oh, and idk if I showed lovesong my song before, but he wondered why people didn't post their songs anymore. Here's mine.
I Dont Need You
[Verse 1]
You’d say things just to hurt me
For so long, it was working
You got inside my head
I believed all that you said
You broke me down to nothin’
To build me how you wanted
But I won’t be your pawn
The fear I had is gone
[Pre Chorus]
I wised up to your act
I’ve taken my life back
You no longer control me
You sure as hell don’t own me
[Chorus]
I don’t need your acceptance
Don’t need you in my presence
I don’t need you to judge me
I don’t need you to love me
I don’t need your approval
I don’t need you at all
I act on my own accord
And I don’t need you anymore
[Verse 2]
The way that you possessed me
You burned me out and wrecked me
You got into my mind
And tore me up inside
You scrambled all my pieces
Told me lies, and I believed it
Now I’m back together
Despite all your endeavors
[Pre Chorus]
I wised up to your act
I’ve taken my life back
You no longer control me
You sure as hell don’t own me
[Chorus]
I don’t need your acceptance
Don’t need you in my presence
I don’t need you to judge me
I don’t need you to love me
I don’t need your approval
I don’t need you at all
I act on my own accord
And I don’t need you anymore
[Spoken Bridge]
I’ve taken back my mind
My spirit
My body…
I love me, for who I am
...and I answer to nobody
I’m sorry, father
But I’m just not sorry
[Chorus]
I don’t need your acceptance
Don’t need you in my presence
I don’t need you to judge me
I don’t need you to love me
I don’t need your approval
I don’t need you at all
I act on my own accord
And I don’t need you anymore
I don’t need you anymore...
Obviously anyone else can read it if they want.
