Gonna do the other half later because I'm tired, but half the songs so far are really good. I like the round.

[VDK]

Wait, isn't number 6 a single?

It has a video and everything!

I know this is one of my favorite songs by the boys...I just always believed it was a single.


Or else, I'm wrong






I'm confused






This round is actually truly underwhelming. I've done a quick run-through of the songs and ....

[Lukey]

Song 1: It's a nice lil song, but it is quite boring...
Song 2: Alright, I like it for the most part, it's got umph, but not enough.
Song 3: Hmm... I do like this, however the woman >>> man and the instrumental gets boring real quick
Song 4: Not my type of music, but it was listenable and enjoyable
Song 5: Yesss, I love this woman, not a favourite of mine from her but yess
Song 6: This was an enjoyable song, nothing amazing but it wasn't bad either
Song 7: Yay, I don't think I've heard this before... Or I've forgotten but it's cool
Song 8: Omfg, what bop is this... The intro... The drop..
Song 9: This is a very nice song, cute.
Song 10: Another nice song, it was very sweet.
Song 11: I really liked this one
Song 12: Enjoyed it, but got a bit bored of it
Song 13: I was getting into it, sort of
Song 14: Another nice simple song, got a bit boring again
Song 15: God the quality is terrible
Song 16: Okay, this is a pretty good song
Song 17: Another enjoyable song, nothing amazing once again, but a good song
Song 18: I love me a piano ballad and their voices blend well together
Song 19: Aww, I like this, I need the song so I can add it on Spotify
Song 20: A nice lil song to finish the round, cute.

I'll start ranking tomorrow or the day after.

(okay, this round is dragging... some of the songs so far are good but I only love two songs...gonna shorten my reviews a lot)

Quarter Three

Song Eleven
Boring, punk ballad. I'm honestly finding it hard to work out how people can find this enjoyable. Song 02 > Song 11

Song Twelve
Interesting production. The guy's voice is a bit generic, but my girl features on it! <3 Love her, don't like him particularly. She should have sung the whole song. Really don't like the guy.

Song Thirteen
Boring. I do know the song, but I don't care for it. I'm waiting for this to end so bad.

Song Fourteen
Folky... my hopes are high. Yeah, it's quite nice. Quite like it. It's soothing.

Song Fifteen
Boring. Female voice is better than Male voice. Don't care for it at all.

Review so far:
Sorry for being in a negative mood. But this quarter was absolutely awful. I'm so bored after this quarter.

Song of the Quarter
Song 14

[mxtthewdelrey]

Quarter Four

Song Sixteen
Quite like this song. Both vocalists are strong. Repetitive. Such a beautiful outro.

Song Seventeen
This is very good. I really like the tone of both vocalists. Very melodic. Catchy. One of the highlights of the round.

Song Eighteen
British X Factor queen! Love this song. She just has such a haunting voice, I love it. It's a shame she got HIM to feature though. He isn't too bad here though. The chorus is brilliant. I'm actually getting a bit teary... this song is so so beautiful. Thank you.

Song Nineteen
Here for the featured artist. Cute song, I guess. She sounds a bit like Diana Vickers on this song.

Song Twenty
I'm already so excited. This is beautiful. I love this song. I loved both of these singers a lot when I was younger. I'm crying again. This is gorgeous and a beautiful end to the round.

Review:
Thank you to whoever sent in Songs 18 and 20. I'm truly touched.

Song of the Quarter
Song 20 (but this was so close)

Best Quarter to Worst Quarter:
1. Quarter 4
2. Quarter 1
3. Quarter 2
4. Quarter 3

Reading the comments so far about singles and whatnot...
Song 6 isn't a single, but it had a music video since each song had one. Song 16 isn't a single either since it came from the show Empire where they don't really have any singles, except for You're So Beautiful

Quick judgments:

1. Not a bad song, but as much as I love the artist, it's kinda alright
2. Again, not bad, but not amazing
3. Couldn't finish it; didn't enjoy it
4. I usually don't like this band, but they sound good here
5. Not a bad song, but it's not a duet since she definitely just sampled Kevin Rudolf's Let It Rock
6. Kinda anthemic tbh
7. Amazing song/cover
8. Kinda nice. The DJ provides nice drops
9. Was boring at the beginning, but then it got nice
10. Ugh please no
11. Not bad at all, but it's not amazing
12. These artists duetted . I think I know who submitted this
13. Love John Legend , and the girl has a cool voice
14. It's nice
15. The guy's voice is super annoying
16. Love this song! Also very anthemic
17. This is a good one
18. This is all that's needed:
19. Ehhhhhhhhh
20. Hmmm not bad, not bad

[MusicLoverDude]

I wonder if Song 5 will get low scores because of people calling it out on not being a collab so to say.

[theREALslimSHADY]

That TLC cover shouldnt be allowed imo. The rule about covers of singles being allowed is so wrong. There are practically covers of every mainstream single which are obviously not released as singles(the covers I mean)
Bottom line:
1. I dont think this was ever a rule, sumthin.. Was it?
2. If you are sticking to the rule then that changes the entire concept of the game, so confirm it for me.

[Santaus]

He (sumthin) has previously stated that covers of singles are fine as long as they were not commercially pushed. These rules are just not really listed anywhere. That said, I wouldn't allow them, but it's fair game for the time being. Would be more straightforward to ban a song altogether, no matter who performed it. Makes the game also more challenging. Obviously, sampling would still be allowed.

[prézli]

If covers are allowed, my first song which was a cancelled single, why wasn't it allowed?

[Truth Teller]

I'm so glad I have immunity. I hate duets, cause they're usual corny and cliche, plus my first 3 options weren't accepted, so I'm expecting floppage.

[prézli]

Song 16 is a re-make of A SINGLE.

[Truth Teller]

SONGS I LOVED (not in order of preference) : 3, 7, 12, 17, 18
SONGS I LIKED (not in order of preference) : 8, 9, 13, 14, 16

Everything else was chaos. I also dislike my own entry, so don't get offended

[Truth Teller]

Oh and btw, I don't mean to cause trouble, but if everyone is making a big deal out of No Scrubs, you should also be complaining about song 05 being a remake of a top 10 hit by Kevin Rudolph with basically the same instrumental, pace, genre and melody.

I wouldn't make a big deal out of either of them, but it seems slightly unfair that there were complaints about only one of them when they're both covers in a way. Also, if prezli is correct about track 16 (I have no idea, but the good sis knows ha stuff), complain about that too

None of the 3 is my entry, although my entry is even worse

[prézli]

Song 01: I don't want to listen to 19 songs after it. Not because it was the perfect song, not... at all. My mood...
Song 02: Disney? The boy's voice is good, the girl is annoying. It wasn't a risky choice. I want to rank the risky choices high.
Song 03: Wow. I'm amazed. The instrumental... I like it.
Song 04: Kewl. It could have been a bit "harder".
Song 05: "Let it roll, roll, roll right off my back." I like the song, but it's not a duet. It's a mash-up.
Song 06: Their duet with Foxes >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>. (I know it was banned.) I expected a girl as the featured artist. A bit weird. The featured artist sounds like David Hasselhoff. Poor Elton John.
Song 07: As the lyrics says: "No." Not the Heterosexual Scream Queen again. I need to listen to the original version after this mess.
Song 08: Ehh... I don't like this genre. Is it the remix version of Song 02? A safe and average song. (SAS )
Song 09: Umm... something is finally happening after 1 minute. Borriririririririring.
Song 10: It reminds me of Christmas. And it's the only positive thing I can say.
Song 11: Is it a song for a Disney movie? Why don't you...? Nevermind.
Song 12: I think I like it. The girl's voice is a bit meh, but it's an okay song.
Song 13: I didn't know there is someone who knows this girl. (She's amazing. ) I'm not a big fan of the song, but the chemistry works between them very well.
Song 14: The girl has a country-ish voice. It's a good song. Someone should make a kewl remix from it.
Song 15: When the boys started singing... Another SAS. The last 1 minute is the best.
Song 16: IT'S A SINGLE. I know the original version is not a duet, but it's a single. After this, ANYONE could send a re-make or a remix version of a single. For example or for example. I don't like this song tho. The solo version is so much better.
Song 17: The refrain is quite good. A bit forgettable.
Song 18: I think I know the female artist, but still don't know who she is. It's an okay song.
Song 19: I could have been a good song, but the lyrics is lame as hell. SAS.
Song 20: Is it a musical??? What the hell. The funniest song of the bunch. Golden boy.

Summary: This set lacks BOPS. I should have sent my second back-up song. mxtthewdelrey, don't say again that you want ballads because everyone will send ballads, ok?

That's all.

EXPOSE ha!

I didn't rank it very high, so I won't change my ratings, but this round is definitely interesting with 2 covers, 1 single and 1 person who hates their own entry

It's not fair because I wanted to send Change Me by Keri Hilson feat. Akon and it wasn't allowed because it was sent to US urban radios, but was never released as a single. (It has a leaked music video tho.)

But a song which is a re-make and was on TV is allowed. I don't get it.

[Lukey]

The exposes

[prézli]

Ok, whatever. I'm sending my rankings.
