As you saw, my scores and song choices in the beginning were mediocre at best. It seemed like I wasn't focused, but the songs I really wanted were taken most of the time! Back when there were numerous people, that was a hindrance.
Breakup Anthems - **** You (Lily Allen) I feel like this is a good choice because when someone breaks up with you, usually you want to forget about that person and get him/her out of your life. "So please don't stay in touch" is part of the chorus, and that's how most feel after a traumatizing breakup.
Self-Empowerment Anthems - Young Single & Sexy (Rita Ora) I feel like this is a good choice because the song really makes you feel confident and empowered. The song was about a breakup, and Rita wasn't moping about anything and she wasn't even bringing her old beau down. She was just bringing herself up in an amazing way. She's "young, single, and sexy [from] London to New York City!"
Party Songs - Pound the Alarm (Nekci Menij) I feel like this is a good choice because this song flat-out makes me want to dance! This used to be my least favourite pop track on PF:RR, but now it's up there (even higher than Whip It) and the song has an infectious beat and party-friendly tracks. The epitome of a fun track.
Personal Songs - No change. The song I chose "Invisible" by Skylar Grey, I connected with a lot and nothing else I could choose would be as sincere and pure as this. In my past, I really connected with this song. Sometimes, I even do now.
I'm happy the judges gave me a good score because this one meant a lot to me.
Top of the Flops - Wish You Were Here (Avril Lavigne) I feel like this is a good choice because Avril really deserved to have a successful era, and essentially all her singles with potential were wasted. Wish You Were Here is one of the best songs on the album, and the judges recommended it too, so why not?
**** ANTHEMS SHOULD HAVE BEEN HERE
Songs different from other works - Circle the Drain (Kety Perr) I feel like this is a good choice because Katy doesn't do angry rock ... I mean, look at her album Teenage Dream featuring songs like "California Gurls" and "Teenage Dream" and a cover where she's lying on a cotton candy cloud looking sexy. I love both sides of Katy, but her rare side, where she hashes out her anger, really gets me going.
Unknown Songs - All the Rowboats (Regina Spektor) I feel like this is a good choice because Regina Spektor is definitely unknown and this song is simply spectacular. It's a dark R&B ballad with piano and beautiful imagery in the music video. The song deserves to be an indie hit, and she, in this song, reminds me of other artists like Ellie Goulding and Christina Perri, especially the latter.
One-hit wonders: no change, Kristinia Debarge is the epitome (sorry I overuse this word, it's amazing) of one hit wonder. Let's see if this will eventually change.
Urban Anthems: My Neck My Back (KHIA) I feel like this is a good choice because this is the ****tiest, most "urban" song I have ever heard. I got into it really recently after all the hype for ATRL, and taking everything into consideration, this song and Khia in general is such an urban masterpiece.
I Miss You Songs - No change. "The Harold Song" is such a personal, emotional song about how Ke$ha misses her love. Especially because Ke$ha doesn't show her sensitive, vulnerable side often, this song is a perfect and powerful choice.
Should Have Been Singles - No change. I've been saying for ages that "Breaking Dishes" was the worst case of a "Single snub" (this should have been the name of the round ) or "Should have been single". I'm happy the judges agreed and liked the song as much as I do
Rage - No change. "Circle the Drain" is such a rageful song, especially for the flawless candy queen Katy Perry. There was so much pent up anger in her because of her unexpected divorce with her husband who seemed perfect for her, and as you can tell from Adele, Rihanna, and Katy Perry, anger leads to the best music!
Album Tracks by Artists with Which You Weren't Familiar - No change. Choosing a Beyonce non-single is very risky, since most of her deserving songs get released. Schooling Life was one of the best choices, imo, and it got me a decent score so I'll keep it at that, thanks
EP by Your Fave - No change. I worked so hard on this EP, and even though I wanted Loud more, I did everything I could to make GGGB:R into a perfect EP. I'm really glad I did!
Disney Songs that Should Have Smashed - No change. I have no other ideas and I think my scores should have been higher because with a little tweaking, Get Back would be great on Katy's OOTB, and Liberty Walk would be great on Gaga's BTW. But that's merely my opinion.
Round 20: We Ride (Rihsus) I feel this is a good choice because this is Rihanna's only single to not chart on the Billboard chart. Even her promotional singles and album tracks have at least charted in the Billboard Bubbling Under, and We Ride failed to do even that, so it is undeserving to be on a Greatest Hits album. How much I like the song is irrelevant.
medo!
you would have been near Anna too.
