jpow & fireaero, Witch Privilege and swiftie, Temporal & fireaero, swiftie & Huga, and Temporal & Huga are y'all okay with revealing who had been given immunity in those rounds?

The person we gave immunity to the last round already knows! And since it's inconsequential now, I don't mind saying who we gave immunity to the round before that.
Also...eh I think I'm just gonna send what the **** ever. I've made it clear that I wasn't gonna be killing it this round because as much as I love being a human pandora station, I'm not good at it.
I think I'll have to drop out of this game I have a math test tonight and a chem lab due tomorrow, and I haven't even started my entry. Out of all my commitments, this is the only one I actually want to do, but unfortunately, I don't think I'll be able to get an entry together by tonight, not even a crappy one.
Congrats to the contestants on making it so far, and good luck in your future rounds! Thanks to the judges for giving our entries honest and insightful feedback. And thanks to everyone for making this game so fun and competitive I'll be sure to stick around to see how the game continues.
On the bright side, Tymps won't need to worry about that double elimination anymore
My logic for this one is that I know you love f(x) and SHINee and given their recent aestheticl upgrade I thought this song could work!! Tokyo Girls' Style also went under a major aesthetical change when one of their members left and this is the first single they released since said change. The instrumental sounds like something that would fit nicely on 4 Walls or maybe even Odd/1 of 1. Also out of everyone I thought you'd be more open to Japanese idol music.

When I was doing some research on the artists you suggested, on last.fm the tags jazz and singer/songwriter came up quite frequently which lead me to this. Ego-Wrappin' are a band that incorporate those elements into their music whilst also putting their own quirky spin on it. Also keeping with the theme of the artists you listed, they're also kinda unknown too (they had like 1 major hit or something before everyone forgetting about them so....yeah.)
Bill
I won't lie, this was the hardest song to find and I honestly think you won't like it.
Anyway, I noticed R&B was a commonish theme in the artists that were listed so I went with Emi, a rising star in the Japanese R&B scene. Also like the artists that were listed, she has also had some critical acclaim to her name with her most recent album from which this song is taken from.

Chill Bill
- I chose to recommend "Panic Station" by Muse because based on what I've heard from the given song examples, I believe that Chill Bill likes upbeat and groovy songs more. The song also has the retro feeling which I think is very much fitting for Chill Bill's liking.

minho
- I recommend "Do What U Do" by P!nk for minho. I would likely want to chose a K-pop song but that would be so obvious. At least I know r&b is also a good thing for minho too. The vibe of the song has almost the same appeal with some of Bey's works so I think it will likely have a positive rating from minho.

Tymps.
- Okay for Tymps, I'm recommending Lily Allen's "Insincerely Yours". Based on what I've heard from the given examples, Tymps. is likely a fan of songs with unusual tones and vocals. Also, the instrumentals are soft and not too strong. I think Lily's unique style of music is fitting for Tymps' liking.

A Song for Tymps
Buzzing along with few key changes, or few changes of anything really, this is a standout k-pop, and pop in general, pick for me because it's just so unique and quirky. It's super cool and experimental: that mechanical, dare I say almost industrial beat marches along, whilst whimsical poppy girly vocals carry the melody over it. And whilst the zappy, warpy synths capture attention it's that cheerleader chant of "never ever give up" that works as a really great ear-worm hook so repeated listens don't become too grating. Also, it's been out for a year and doesn't even have 100k views and the cheap ass music video is shot in a skate park so it gives you like massive indie cred just to say you know what it is really. I thought you'd like this song because it has a perfect balance of the left-field whacky kinda stuff I've gleaned that you like, but also it doesn't feel itself a bit too much and keeps it's centre in catchy pop.
A song for minho
This song has all the production smarts of any top f(x) pick, whilst dressing itself in the same kind of sexy-sleek sheen as Fei's Fantasy. This is totally the definition of ear-phones pop. There's SO many layered synths and little buried quirks, you don't even notice them all after repeated listens. Those chorus vocals are kinda just one note, with that haywire synth behind them being the thing that carries the real chorus melody, and the thing you'll find yourself humming afterwards when it's caught in your head. In all sonical aspects, this song has a kind of simultaneous dark glamour and menace (I mean the lyrics seem to suggest it's about some form of mental breakdown), which makes for a different listen from the usual two boring "sex song // cute happy song" pop music camps. I don't think it has any particularly strong connection to the film of the same name, unless you're a Natalie Portman fan in which case it totally does and you should give me bonus points for noticing.
A song for Chill Bill
Apparently people consider Nell "indie" or whatever, even though technically he's not, but that's the same for most "indie" artists nowadays right? What it really says whatever, however, is about the type of music Nell puts out, which is significantly different from the rest of the Korean pop industry (which Nell is like technically part of). There's almost an anthemic feel with this one, and the lyrics, which talk about someone hopeless and tired of lonliness and suffering making it through because of a moment with the person they love, which is like really romantic and stuff I guess. I don't think it'd be a stretch to hear someone like Ed Sheeran or one of his contemporaries release something like this for the western market, especially when considering the themes. All the elements of this song work really nicely together in the mix, the almost war-call drums hitting just at the right moment, that chime-y keyboard synth standing out well to the ear and giving some texture to everything, that warped guitar solo coming in just at the climax. I hope you think this is cute.

Def Leopard - Pour Some Sugar on Me
All 4 of your songs were vastly different, but as soon as I saw a classic rock song, I knew that's what I was going to focus in on. This is one of my favorite classic rock songs. It's fun, sexy, and represents everything great about the 80s hairbands. I always picture someone doing a pole dance routine to this song, and the sugar being dollar bills flying everywhere.

Blood Orange - Hadron Collider
I knew right away that I wanted to avoid kpop songs. Everyone else is probably going to inundate you them, so I wanted to focus on the Vince Staples/Prince songs you luckily added to your list. I'm not sure if Blood Orange is really up your alley, but I feel that he has a sound you might like. I saw him at FYF Fest a month ago, and he performed this song with Nelly live, and it was beautiful. It seemed to be a fan favorite, as well, so I'm hoping that you like it, too!
Tymps.
James Blake - Waves Know Shores
You were the trickiest, I think, because you like some weird ****. I think I was able to hone in on what sound you like, and it reminded me a lot of James Blake. I'm praying you don't hate him, because you seem to love or hate every artist. No in between. Waves Know Shores is one of my personal favorites from the album. It has a very soothing production, and his voice sounds so pure and beautiful on it.

The Recommendation Trinity
Chill Bill's recommendation: Charles Manson - Look At Your Game Girl
So, this is probably the most controversial choice for my trinity (...or any trinity ever, really!), but I didn't choose it for the shock factor. I actually chose it because it's actually a song I quite enjoy, and I felt it suited your taste (though I could be wrong!). There are people/groups who covered this song, and I could have easily chose that, but avoiding the original due to who sang it is a bit dumb in my opinion.
I actually think we should listen to this whole mini together, it's pretty good! Anyway, I chose this one because I figured that besides for the title track, this would be the song you'd enjoy the most. It's my favorite at least, and we actually are on the same page a lot of the time when it comes to the girls, so...!
Tymps.' recommendation: Alina Baraz & Galimatas - Fantasy
I'll be completely honest - I put one of your songs you listed into Pandora and made a station and this was the first song that came up. However, I did look around for a bit longer before finally deciding on this. I don't really think it's lazy because usually when I make a station based off of a song, I really like the first song that comes up a lot of the time. Hopefully that happens with this song.
jpow's formatting is cute And this round, we can't really give opinions since this is a very subjective-to-the-judges round, but Slay The Game Boy is THAT bop.
