Choose the album, then a song (First Results - Round 5)
Hello ATRL!
Welcome to the fifth 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. I allow you to ask for help, you can PM whoever you want, but a person can only vote ONCE;
3. The JUDGES can not be biased, if you detect any unfair move from a judge, report it to me I'll analyze the case.
With this being said let me introduce you to...

2. Regina George

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

Here are the results:

Last thing I’d imagine her to do (yeah, I don’t know the album). Of course it’s about a guy, lyrically she doesn’t really get out of her comfort zone, but I’m not worried about that, I really think you owned this one! The song is epic, by the way.

You said you weren’t sure about this. You called it ‘risky’, well I call it ‘perfection’. This is perhaps one of Christina Aguilera’s best song. Christina is a versatile artist, she can do many styles and she has a very powerful voice, but the fact that she doesn’t scream in this song makes her voice even better, it shows she can do amazing songs without showing off as you even said. This is definitely out of her comfort zone as well!

I freaking love this song, but I don’t see it as the best choice, if I was representing Katy I’d have sent another song, but I see why you picked it, it is a very dark song comparing with all the others in the record, nevertheless Katy is a Pop-Rock artist, so I wouldn’t consider this exactly being out of her comfort zone, actually in my opinion, her rockish stuff is where she does better. Not censuring anyway.

I guess it was you who said her album was too standard, well I am afraid so as well. It’s hard with Carrie, she is pure country, she started mixing with Pop in Cowboy Casanova perhaps, but still this is a very country song, the instrumental, the typical back vocals, the lyrics... Nevertheless the song is great, but to be fair I’ll have to take from you some points. I wish I could give more points to it.

Damn y’all! This is one of Lady Gaga’s best song but I don’t consider it out of her comfort zone, yes it is more into the mid-tempo, she usually does up tempos; it’s a very sexy song and has a relaxing vibe into it, nevertheless it’s too Gaga, I guess, catchy chorus, sex/drinks lyrics, you know? I won’t say it’s the typical Gaga but it still is very her, I guess Teeth would have been a better choice.

I think this can be consider getting out of her comfort zone, but I don’t think (as you said) it has any country in it, but in Can’t Be Tamed there isn’t many songs like this, it has a different vibe from all the other slow songs, so it’s cool. Miley sounds more mature here and it’s one of those songs that says you’re perfect, don’t worry, in the record there aren’t songs like that. So good job!

This time I wasn’t sure about what you would pick and I don’t think this was the best choice, I love Out From Under, it’s a beautiful ballad and Britney hasn’t many like that, but you know a ballad as getting out of someone’s comfort zone isn’t that appealing. I think MMM Papi or even Mannequin or Blur would have done a better job.

I really enjoyed your little description of the song, I think it helped you, at least with me. This song is a little Kelly, I must admit, it reminds me of Already Gone but a little more happy, but Already Gone isn’t from this album, but it does sound like a Clarkson song. Nonetheless I think it’s a nice choice, and let’s face it Stronger hasn’t that much diversity, eventhough the song you sent last round could have done better here.

Ok, sorry y’all but even if it was Madonna’s comfort zone I would give this a 10. In fact Frozen is so different from what Madonna used the fans to, that album is very experimental and this is Madonna’s best song in my opinion, it’s beautiful and epic. Any song in this album could actually do good this round.

The description you gave makes sense, nevertheless Pink is all about craziness, drinking and stuff, so it is not surprising that she wrote a song like this, besides is very rockish as she used us to. I don’t know the album much better to give you recommendations but this didn’t surprise me as a out of comfort zone :/.

In fact comparing with all the stuff we find in Loud this is the most different because it isn’t a dance song, it’s not LOUD, it’s not sexual, it’s about a relationship that is coming to an end and the vibe is so sweet and so out of the album vibe, Love it!

She doesn't like that song. I remember clearly that in the #13 Hot 100 Hits game she eliminated Cool in the first round.
