Little Mix entering the Top Three. You better ****ing snatch igor!
Fifth Harmony going though... what kinda mess? "Body Rock" is easily the most dance-able track on the record, IMO.
And hang in there Speezy; rise Jordin, RISE! Glad gurl pulled through to the T10.

This has been an amazing journey, hearing you guys comment about my essay and then improve it is simething that I could never forget. I've had highs & lows in this tournament and they all make me happy as I, one step closer, has brought the album closer to you guys which is also the main reason I join this game.
In the last, really hope there will be a comeback round so I can participate again or if it won't, I will definitely join again next season if I have time.

I had a feeling Demi and 5H would leave this round and I was right.
Confident replicated the downfall of Bangerz just as much as Demi tried to replicate that era's success. lhdang unfortunately made some bad choices and had badly written essays these last two rounds that caused him to tumble. I can't remember the last time an album was in the Top 10 and tumbled into elimination the following round. But I think this was also lhdang's first time playing this game, and I didn't exactly do the best my first time either.
As for 5H, I was hoping maybe it could jump into the Top 10, and it came so close to doing so. Reflection isn't one of my absolute favorite albums but it could have lasted a couple more rounds.
Really happy Igor punched into the Top 3. I've really been impressed with Get Weird so far and that says a lot since the iTunes previews didn't really sway me and this era was harder for me to get into unlike DNA and Salute.
I'm also happy to see Britney bounce back after being close to elimination. That's another thing I've liked about this season. The contestants have been able to pull through and not get eliminated the very next round after being a close call with it. Jordin has avoided it twice and Britney pulled through this round as well.
As a judge, it's getting harder to say goodbye to these albums. Most of them are actually really decent the more I get to know them. And we've hit Top 10 now, and every single person has put in the effort to stay in this long, so regardless of what happens, you should be happy with a Top 10 placement. It took me 7 seasons to even get a Top 10 placement so everyone that's made the Top 10 should be proud of themselves.
And I would also like to say, thanks to the people that showed some concern for me. Things have gotten a little better since Sunday. Family issues are like drugs, you have to take it one day at a time and just stay focused on what you need to do that day. At the end of the day, my Mom wants what is best for me. And the more I do things that help myself and make progress in my life the better.
Looking forward to the next round

This round, for example, I totally hated Body Rock, it's too generic and without any personality, but it is a dance song and fits the round theme, so I didn't offed it.

 Please, darling. 'Reflection' is flawless but to be fair I am with you. I have to put my personal taste aside to because of the same situation. I am yet to listen a Little Mix song I like. Thanks for being fair though!

You basically started your entry by sort of dragging it. That's how it looked like. It took like half of your essay to say that the song is a cover and her most famous piece of work, rather than being more exact on why you chose it

Choose The Album, Then a Song 8: Live Show [R7]
WELCOME TO THE EIGHTH SEASON OF
CHOOSE THE ALBUM, THEN A SONG
"It has been a while... I know I shouldn't have kept you waiting... But I am here now"
Hello!
The seventh round is upon us! We are nearing the end so fast and we have found our Top 10 albums of the season! Congratulations to everyone who made this far! You're winners by now!
This new round has never been done before and will be interesting. Are you ready? Here we go!
1. Element: Ellie Goulding - 'Delirium'
2. sumthintoxic82: Britney Spears - 'Britney'
3. Speezy : Jordin Sparks - 'Right Here, Right Now'
4. Dollas n Diamonds: Pentatonix - 'PTX'
5. Nait Phoenix: Janet Jackson - 'Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814'
6. holyground: Florence + the Machine - 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful'
7. igor: Little Mix - 'Get Weird'
8. Vilppu: Nightwish - 'Imaginaerum'
9. Vulnicura: Björk - 'Post'
10. Bloomers: Vince Staples - 'Summertime '06'
1. Kavish
2. Capital B
3. Legend E
4. MusicLoverDude
For seven seasons this game had its ups and downs and to make sure the 'downs' part won't happen again, I had to create a set of rules. So if you're in the game, this means you agree to:
1. DURING THE VOTING PERIOD, YOU'LL HAVE TO CAST YOUR VOTE (OTHERWISE YOU'RE PENALIZED);
2. YOU CAN NOT ASK FANS/FRIENDS TO SAVE YOUR ALBUM;
3. YOU MUST DELIVER YOUR ENTRY IN TIME, OTHERWISE YOU'RE ELIMINATED.
4. YOU CAN NOT USE THE SAME SONG MORE THAN TWICE;
5. IF YOU USE A SONG IN A ROUND, YOU'LL ONLY BE ABLE TO USE IT AGAIN THREE ROUNDS AFTER.
One way to further our adventure while listening to an album is to experience those songs being performed live. Choose one live performance of a song and explain in no more than 300 words what the live performance adds to the song that makes it feel so special.
Please send the video of the live performance, as well as the studio version of the song for reference.
Good luck,
Kavish.
*Send a PM (Private Message) to PEDRO with your essay and the YouTube link.
DEADLINE: April, 3rd.

Pedro's Mariah concert kinda inspired this round. We haven't had a live challenge in a long time, but I think that it's an important part and should be present each season. Really excited for this.

 I got first and jumped to #7
im so happy, didnt really know what could happen last round...
but this one will be tough, cuz automatically I would have used Brit's S4U VMA performance, but since I just used it thats out, and she really didnt have too many "big" performances that era other than from tv shows and concerts...lets see what i can come up with...

I remember the last time we did this, it was back in 2012 when I originally signed up with Kiss, and it's the round I got eliminated at the time
