OMG, I'm so shocked at my results. I thought it was so small compared to the others, and I didn't know if I was inspiring anybody… THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH! I'm sorry to see Xed and Lucky go! I really liked both of your albums, respectively!

I did better than I expected 
But I'm so confused right now. Half told me that it's good to be a bit personal, half told me that I shouldn't be personal at all.

Aw! I can't say I'm surprised, but I had SO much fun this season - more than ever, for sure. The thing that I loved the most was that this made me fall in LOVE with BWET again ... every single round I listened to the entire album from start to finish to pick my songs.

Yesss, I moved up one spot in the final chart 
Legend E's scores He was on a bad mood 
I don't know what else you wanted me to say to prove "Hair" is empowering, I think I explained it really well. Fortunately the other judges agreed with me. Thanks for the 10, MLD 
I'm glad I surprised you, Capital B! I hope you're enjoying Little Mix!  Let's see if I'll get a 10 from you and Kavish one day

I didn't agree with the song as I didn't think the purpose of the song was to be motivational. It was more like getting over a break-up and that's it.

but it's not the best song that could have been used for this round.
|
this seems like a weird critique if you're not gonna mention an alternative. army of me was absolutely the only choice for this round.

Hm okay I agree with your essay, but I feel the song is more about her musical career/the press etc. Like not a parent-child relationship. I like that you interpret it that way, but to me it's not what Britney wanted to achieve.
|
While I agree that I do think the song is also about her musical career, people interpret songs differently and I cant relate to a musical career like Britney, so I take it differently. And, in a way, her label was like her "parent" guess I could have said that as well, but oh well...

The last paragraph was unneeded, because it feels like you were justifying your choice for not sending a piano-driven empowerment song, and it also felt like a jab to those who sent ballads.
|
I feel like that was a necessary part of the essay because I could've sent something completely different. I was indeed justifying my song. I didn't mean any harm to the people that send slower songs.

Not 100% about your write-up to be honest, I just found it a bit too “conversational” sounding rather than written more like an essay. It wasn’t weak however, I just found the phrasing a bit awkward. I hope that makes sense…
|
No! I completely understand your point and I do agree that I made it less serious and more free because of the vibe of the song. Thanks!

I feel like this essay might be your weakest one so far. I wish it was maybe more personal, or you didn't insert so many lyrics because except for the fact that it's empowering, you didn't really say much.
|
I am sad that I didn't manage to do better but thanks for the critique.

|
This is why I always think it is good to leave personal preferences behind because it is not fair. But that's the disadvantage of having a known album, I guess. Maybe if you didn't know 'Brave Honest Beautiful', you would have accepted my entry better. I disagree with you. I do love that song as well but it is way more cheesy. A grown up person would probably laugh at it.

It's kinda sad Twenty One Pilots left and ended up placing right at the Top 15 mark, making it ineligible for future seasons. The songs weren't that bad tbh. Just it's clear Xedretinz needs time to work on his essay writing.
I kinda wish Inner Insanity went with that album a little. But even so, like Pedro said, I improved A LOT over the course of seven seasons. It took me six seasons to make it past Round 5, and seven to finally make the Top 10.
So anything can happen as long as you strive to improve.

I thought "Brave Honest Beautiful" was the perfect choice for this round. "BO$$" is definitely a solid entry, but compared to the others, I just couldn't OFF anyone else knowing that there was a much better option for you. Also, can non-contestants / eliminated contestants continue to vote?

Choose The Album, Then a Song 8: Let It Go [R5]
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"
Hey, guys! We are back for one more round! I let you rest for one day but now... LET'S GET BACK TO WORK! Last night we had to say goodbye to two more contestands and we are, now, down to 14.
I'd like to say that I didn't forget about the elimination card and everyone who was (truly) eliminated will get one. Anyway! We are ready for round five and let me just say... Expect the unexpected.
1. prezli: Nothing but Thieves - 'Nothing but Thieves'
2. Element: Ellie Goulding - 'Delirium'
3. sumthintoxic82: Britney Spears - 'Britney'
4. Pedro: Fifth Harmony - 'Reflection'
5. Speezy : Jordin Sparks - 'Right Here, Right Now'
6. Dollas n Diamonds: Pentatonix - 'PTX'
7. Nait Phoenix: Janet Jackson - 'Janet Jackson's Rhythm Nation 1814'
8. holyground: Florence + the Machine - 'How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful'
9. igor: Little Mix - 'Get Weird'
10. Inner Insanity: The All-American Rejects - 'Move Along'
11. Vilppu: Nightwish - 'Imaginaerum'
12. Vulnicura: Björk - 'Post'
13. Bloomers: Vince Staples - 'Summertime '06'
14. lhdang2000: Demi Lovato - 'Confident'
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.
Most albums have that one song that we dislike, or like to a lesser extent. This round, you'll have the opportunity to freeze one song and it will never be used in this season again. Choose a song from your album that you would like to discard, and explain your choice in no more than 250 words.
Good luck,
Kavish.
*Send a PM (Private Message) to PEDRO with your essay and the YouTube link.
DEADLINE: March, 13th.
