I can't blame castle for wanting his fave to win. IMO Taylor isn't the strongest entry this round BUT it stills a great entry.

Take it easy y'all, don't y'all get mad. This is just a game and me, myself I even said I don't censure anyone for calling people to vote.

There are much better songs, lyrically, from Taylor's album. The Taylor stans are just testy cuz of yesterday's thread and how almost all of ATRL voted Fearless as the album least deserving of an AOTY Grammy.

I was looking for Madonna but I think he didn't realize he was back in the game Oh well. I'll go bother Senor E but skip Regina. We have bad blood between us.

[Pedro]

I already PMed them ahahaha, I dont think you need to bother them!

[joelovesmusic]

Lord I completely forgot to rate:

If this doesn't count it's cool it was totally my fault for forgetting:

SAVE:
Speechless
Unusual You

OFF:
F**k You
Serious
I just can't live a lie

[Pedro]

Guys, seems like I'm getting perfect in making mistakes.

Last round as you know I eliminated Madonna by a mistake, I forgot to count a vote, nevertheless I counted everything again and she got back. After I announced the second challenge I forgot to add her in the list so TheGeoKing (representative) forgot to send me his entry as well, I kept the game without him. It just hit me today we had forgot him, so I asked him his entry, and he sent in today.

With this being said I think the only way to make it fair is only count judges points for him in a way of apologizing for my mistake last update, hopefully you don't get mad at this.

Only missing sumthintoxic's rate on Madonna's entry

Wow that imagination of yours. Just incredible.
And just for the record that thread is nothing. My fave has the trophy and nothing could ever take that away. People can rant all they want but the grammy and the world-record won't go away.

[castle13]

@Pedro I'm okay with it.

[joelovesmusic]

@Pedro I'm cool with it. Mistakes happen, nobody's perfect

[Pedro]

Thanks y'all! I'm still waiting on sumthintoxic's rate on Madge's song

[Pedro]

Okay, all the rates are in but I won't be updating now, I'm studying for a test I have tomorrow, I expect to be done within one/two hours and hopefully I am ready before Eurovision starts! Nevertheless, updating coming in two hours if nothing happens. If something happens expect six/seven hours y'all. Hopefully it won't happen!

Hello ATRL!

Welcome to the first round of...

"Choose the album, then a song", the name says it all. You'll have to pick an album and stick with it during the entire game, until you get kicked out. Each round there will be a different challenge and in that challenge you'll ONLY be allowed to use ONE song of the album you picked.

All the players will choose a song from the album for each round and hope he doesn't get eliminated. After that the public (50%) and the judges (50%) will rate the entries.

There is some stuff you must pay attention to:

1. You can NOT use the same song twice, you have to wait three rounds until you can use it again;
2. If you use a song you already did (I mean you waited the three rounds), you'll not be able to have as many points as the others who used a song for the first time;
3. I allow you to ask for help, you can PM whoever you want, but a person can only vote ONCE;
4. The JUDGES can not be biased, if you detect any unfair move from a judge, report it to me I'll analyze the case;
5. There can't be two albums of an artist, only ONE.

With this being said let me introduce you to...

THE JUDGES
1. Pedro
2. Regina George
3. Señor Emÿro
4. sumthintoxic82

SECOND ROUND

In this second round the contestants had to pick a song from the album they chose that fits into this category:

Lyrics

Now that they are all in and you, public, and judges decided who did better, let's find out the results. Remember the judges' rates will count 50% and the public votes other 50%.

Here are the results:

1. castle13 - Taylor Swift - Speak Now (Deluxe Edition): Dear John

Votes: One Off + Ten Saves = +9 Points (1st Place of the public votes)

I can feel the words she is being so truthful I was giving it a seven at first but I’m definitely changing it since I read them all for myself again. Beautiful and eventhough you obviously called some stans I don’t think it was needed.

This song is amazing, love how it introduces the album and lyric-wise I had never noticed how smart the lyrics were. Love the nice words picked for the song and they really look worked into detail. I love how she uses metaphors mixed with circus things but she is really talking about people, who’s real and who’s not! Loved it! Seems like not everything is perfect…

I really love how when I listen to this song there’s only one image in my mind: a dark blue sky and she is falling from it. I like when lyrics give me images, my favorite part of the lyrics are the pre-chorus and the chorus. I must say I expected more from Katy, this one isn’t her best. Maybe The One That Got Away would’ve done you fairness! Nevertheless it’s an ok job!

Well the lyrics aren’t anything special to be honest but you can really feel love and relate to it when you just can’t say goodbye to someone, because you love them too much, if we go in that way the lyrics are completely beautiful, but I need to compare with some other entrances.

Originally posted by Pedro

I kinda new this was going to be the choice for this round, great choice. Lady Gaga is a great songwriter, she feels what she writes. In this song I love how she makes it all about not talking in the chorus and how she uses, for example, James Dean in the song. The beginning of the song gives me that image of her crying in a sofa while the guy is like about to leave, amazing job. Another thing I love how she puts weird things on such a sentimental song, for example, when she goes “after all the drinks” and stuff.

Well, not bad, but the lyrics are very meh, to be honest a song like Liberty Walk would’ve done better, in my opinion. I love this song, don’t get me wrong, but they (the lyrics) are very simple and they don’t have much to add, it’s a normal love song, Carrie did it a little better in this field.

Well usually rappers have amazing lyrics but I dislike the billion of bad words that can be found in this song. Nevertheless I like his honesty during the song, no one’s perfect and everyone makes mistakes, we all seem to be amazing at finding the bad stuff and the good things never appear in front of us. If I’m not mistaken he recommends the girl to runaway from him ‘cause he is no good, but we all have bad sides right? I liked those lyrics, never payed attention to them.

This was the best you could’ve picked from Circus, honestly. Those lyrics are so romantic and beautiful, it’s something different not a cheesy love song. Here she is talking about how the other person is so perfect, she even compares him to an angel because he is so unusual, he is so perfect, he made her understand what love really is and she is afraid she gets used to. She expected him to break her heart but he is so unusual, so beautiful.

I had never get the meaning of these lyrics but I did now. She is basically saying she has her dark side and she can be bad sometimes and even tell him to go away, but she wants him to love her dark side and remind her of who she really is! How pretty is that? Nevertheless I must say the lyrics itself aren’t the best you could chose. Let Me Down would do a better job!

Excellent lyrics, very beautiful and it speaks to me in a very important way since I kind of see every relationship being like that, people get tired of each other after a while, it’s so sad and Pink really talks about that in this song, it made me think of old people, they might love each other yet but you know, they will just be tired of each other after all these years I guess. People really should remember the good times.

You know I don’t exactly like what the lyrics of this song stands for and I still can’t believe she says some things here that actually happened to her, like being hit by Brown… Anyway, the lyrics are very well constructed; I like the use of some adjectives and the inclusion of angels. But I like how this represents what happens in reality, a lot of women get hit by boyfriends/husbands but they seem to ‘like it’ :/.

At first when I saw you had this entry I thought to myself “how cheap and predictable” and I kept on thinking it until I saw your post in the thread, I didn’t know why she created this song and I didn’t know it was for W. Bush, and now it all makes more sense! She is a bad ass in these lyrics and she brings the dude so down! She spills the true tea. Although I love the new ‘concept’ I still think there would be better songs, Lily is an amazing songwriter!

Those are very pretty lyrics to be honest, I prefer this inclusion of medicine vocabulary here than in Gwen’s song, it’s much more deep, much more meaningful and the comparisons she does in the lyrics are very well done. “Like you’re pouring salt in my cuts” was my favorite line because it really caught my attention, that must hurt, but it’s a great metaphor!
