Round 1: Breakup Anthems
rihannabiggestfan: Adele - Someone like You
DillonATRL - 7 - I think she sounds a little bit not over the guy so I think Rolling In The Deep would've been a better choice
Ryan (MLD): 6/10: The breakups songs this round basically had to say "I'm so much better without you". But it's hard to say here since the song makes Adele look like she isn't over this guy. Beautiful song though.
Ray Bass: 4. “I’m trying to get over a relationship, not depressed about it.”
Average: 5.66667
Round 2: Self Empowerment Anthems
rihannabiggestfan: Ke$ha - We R Who We R
DillonATRL - 9 - this song was made after those homphobic killings that year in the US so i love the message behind it. great job
an improvement from last Round tbh David
MLD: 3/10: Ke$ha sucks horribly at making self-empowerment anthems. The title may say We R Who We R, but this song definitely ain't inspiring people. It only makes people want to party. Try again next time girl!
Ray Bass: 8. “This is my favorite K$ song and the title makes reference to a Inspirational anthem, but K$ is mainly speaking about how you should be yourself at a party tearing everything apart and being superstars, although I’ll give it a high note cause I do see myself singing this loud screaming WE R WHO WE R!”
Average: 6.666667
Round 3: Party Songs
rihannabiggestfan: Rihanna - Cheers (Drink To That)
DillonATRL - 9.5 - It's perfect for a day on the beach just chilling but i'm not sure about like partying..but it fits well with the feel good song like How We DO and you were the only one to do so so good job
ps this is my first .5 score ever!
Ray Bass: 9.5. “When Loud first leaked, I knew this was the song I would drink shots to, I’d drink to that!”
MLD: 6/10: I'm a really energetic type of dude and on the dancefloor, this song isn't exactly a song that matches my energy unless it get's remixed!
Average: 8.33333
Round 4: Personal Songs
rihannabiggestfan: Skylar Grey - Invisible
DillonATRL - 9 - your personal association I think anyone can relate to and i like Skylar a lot but this song just needed that little extra ooomph for me...still good job David
Ray Bass - 9 - This song is so touching and I truly believe many people that have heard the song felt connected in some kind of way. I liked the song and I believe Skylar deserves some recognition as she’s an awesome songwriter.
MLD: 10/10: i totally get you. And this song fits that perfectly.
Average: 9.33333
Round 5: Top of the Flops
rihannabiggestfan: Avril Lavigne - Smile
DillonATRL - 9 - this should have done so much better than the 60's..at least top 20...it was my instant favorite off GL...didn't have to let it grow on me..nice entry
Ray Bass: 7. “The deserving flop entry from Goodbye Lullaby was WYWH and not Smile. If What The Hell midly underperformed and was given a lot of promo, we kinda saw this coming..”
MLD: 10/10: This song was fabulawesome. If only dance didn't dominate the charts and Avril wasn't with RCA at the time, then Smile could have done way better. This song really should have gone places, and then maybe ATRL wouldn't be so biased and kill this song off so much in the games section.
Average Score: 8.6667
Round 6: **** Anthems
rihannabiggestfan: David Guetta, Timbaland, & Dev - I Just Wanna F
DillonATRL - 8 - well the fact that it's risky gave u an extra half point...plus Dev is just sex in general
a good job david
MLD: 6/10: Catchy song but not a song you would want to **** to.
Ray Bass: 7. “Most of the song’s focus is based on Guetta’s production and random bleeps. Even though the song is of course meant to provoke sexual intercourse, this does not makes me want to have sex per se.”
Average: 7
Round 7: Songs Different From That Artist's Usual Work
*NOTE* I do not have Ray's rates on file but I do have the average!
rihannabiggestfan: Demi Lovato - Hold Up
DillonATRL - 8 - it's still her fastest uptempo imo..so it is different however pop really wasn't anything she hadn't done before...i think Unbroken would have done better since it's her first electro song
still i like this entry
MLD: 6/10: I don't know if this song is that different to the other songs on the album. It's a cute song but, does it really standout? Not really.
Average: 7
Round 8: Unknown Songs
rihannabiggestfan: Jodie Connor - Bring It
DillonATRL - 8.5 - i like her voice
and this bitch is unknown as i can't find it on Itunes..
..good job David.
Alexz - 8 - This song screams hit single, the lyrics are meh, the production is ok, your typical party song. I like it.
MLD: 7/10: I like this song, it's pretty catchy and upbeat. Only thing that kinda annoys me is that she sounds like Heidi Montag in parts of this song, but otherwise I like this song.
Average: 7.833333
Round 9: One Hit Wonders
rihannabiggestfan: Kristinia Debarge - Goodbye
DillonATRL - 10 - this song is my life!!!!!! I wanted her to smash harder and have Somebody or Future Love as single! great job David
Alexz - 8.5 - First time hearing this song and I love her voice, it's a great break-up song, the lyrics are ok, the beat is my favorite part of it. #majah
MLD: 10/10: I jammed to this song so much back when it came out. I liked the beat and the sassiness. It's a shame her album is forgettable.
Average: 9.5
Round 10: Urban Anthems
rihannabiggestfan: Kanye West feat. Jamie Foxx - Gold Digger
DillonATRL - 10 - this song is perfect and tbh i used to **** with ushaaaaaa
great choice!
Ray Bass: 9.5. "Gold Digger is what brought the 'consolidation' status in Kanye's career as one of the best rappers of this time. If you're new into Urban, you should try listening to Gold Digger, it can appeal greatly to a complete and diverse audience.
MLD: 3/10: The song sucks ass but it fits the round
Alexz - 9 - I don't know why, but this song reminds me of Kim K now,
I don't like Kanye West but he's talented and Jamie Foxx makes this song a lot better! The beat is sick.
Average: 7.875
Round 11: I Miss You Songs
rihannabiggestfan: Ke$ha - The Harold Song
DillonATRL - 10 - this fits the theme very well
and it's so vulnerable..especially for Ke$ha!
great choice David.
Alexz - 9.5 - Kesha is a great lyricist, first time listening this song, definitely fits this round's theme. Well done.
MLD: 10/10: Easily one of Ke$ha's best songs, and one of her songs that I still use. Easily the best song you could send using Ke$ha. Great job!
Average: 9.833333
Round 12: Should Have Been Singles
rihannabiggestfan: Rihanna - Breakin' Dishes
DillonATRL - 10 - this should have been a single! instead of Rehab! or both
it was an obvious SMASH!!!!! OMG never though my "Best of the Round" would go to you
awesome job.
Alexz - 9 - Yes a Tricky Stewart production
love the instrumental, simple lyrics with a clear straight message. A great break-up revenge song! Definitely a song that would have smashed.
Ray Bass: 9.5. “I always believed this was the perfect closer for the GGGB era, never knew why this wasn’t released because this was perfect. I think if this was released now, it might sound dated, but back in the day, it would’ve smashed so hard.”
MLD: 10/10: YES! One of the best tracks off Good Girl Gone Bad. Sassy, in your face, catchy, FIRE! This song would have been a smash had this been released. So mad it wasn't. Great job this round!
Average: 9.625
Round 13 and 14: Know Your Judges
Round 15: Rage!!!
rihannabiggestfan: Katy Perry - Circle the Drain
DillonATRL - 9 - for katy this is "rage" the song is horrid but it has that rage i can see it
anyway tbh not my fave choice.
but still good!
Ray Bass: 9 “Katy Perry’s angriest song, and it definetely shows rage and she’s furious at her exlover. Great job”
MLD: 10/10: I actually thought you were gonna send in Breakin' Dishes for this round
But this is a great choice. You can clearly see Katy is MAD in the entire track and it's an epic choice for this round!
Alexz - 9.5 - She was really in rage when she wrote this song, she must have loved Travie a lot to create this kind of song, she dragged him for filth
"Wanna be your lover,
not your ****ing mother" she went in.
Averge: 9.375
Round 16: Album Tracks By Artists You Weren't Familiar With
rihannabiggestfan: Beyonce - Schoolin Life
DillonATRL - 9.5 - I personally never like her albums(i own the first 3 though
) so this is a standout for sure David since i actually like it!
Alexz - 9 - Like I already said, I love this type of old-school, retro songs.
The first time I heard the song I was slayed, but I can see why they left this as a bonus track, it doesn't quite fit the concept of the album. Still, great choice.
Ray Bass: 7.5. “Not my favorite from Beyonce, but I’ve always argued why Schoolin Life was left out as a track for the standard edition of 4.”
MLD: 8/10: Probably one of the more catchy songs on 4. It definitely is up there and certainly a good track. Nice job
Average: 8.5
Round 17: EP By Your Fave
rihannabiggestfan: Rihanna - Good Girl Gone Bad Reloaded
1: Don't Stop the Music
2: Umbrella
3: Disturbia
4: Shut Up and Drive
5: Breaking Dishes
6: Take a Bow
7: Good Girl Gone Bad
DillonATRL - 10 -
OMG this is perfect...like seriously GGGB is so underrated(the song) and i love hwo it ended the album
best job this round David!
Ray Bass: 10. "I wouldn't argue a thing, I even agree that GGGB or Rehab can take the last spot because you need another ballad to support the up-tempo first half of the EP, and GGGB is a good song to give that role to. Great job!!"
Alexz - 10 - Disturbia is... oh my.
first time hearing it, I love it! You did a great job picking up the best songs, a great EP.
MLD: 8/10: I don't think Shut Up And Drive should be here. Instead I think Breakin' Dishes should be 4th, and then Rehab. Sorry but Rehab is a masterpiece and you leaving it out is a disgrace to Rihanna. Otherwise, everything else is good.
Average: 9.5
Round 18: Party Playlist for Judges...not revising this.
Round 19: Disney Songs That Should Have Smashed
*NOTE* only have the average

12 S&M (#1)
13 Man Down (sabotage)
14 Where Have You Been (#5)
DillonATRL - 10 - Well someone got Lucky with Timmy sabotaging you
Man Down does nothing to sabotage as it's a fan favorite and acclaimed...and your ordering was refreshing and even made Man Down fit!....I wish Hard could have been included but it wasn't big enough...(in Rihanna terms
)....nice job!
Ray Bass: 9.5. “As I’ve said with borntodie previously, there’s not many that can go wrong with Rihanna being the choice. I loved the way you ordered the songs and Man Down as the sabotage song really doesn’t bring anything bad to the table, it really is a song different from the others, and shouts out to Rih’s Caribbean roots. Great job!!”
10/10: You and Anna both did Rihanna GH albums this round. But this worked much better (I'll explain why in Anna's judging). Everything is placed pretty nicely. Great job this round
Alexz - 10 - Great album, full of hits! I love that you started with her biggest hit and closed with her recent hit.
Average: 9.875
