Round 4: Three Course Dinner
You've been judging each other's songs for three rounds, but now it's time for us to judge you. This week, I've called my two closest friends on ATRL over from Drag Race to be judges, and in teams of three, you will choose a song each for a theme chosen by each judge. You will be trying to impress that judge solely, but all songs must be PMed to mxtthewdelrey.
Here are the judges you will be trying to impress:
C/H/A/N/E/L |
Runner-up and leaderboard champion of Drag Race Season 1, and full-time judge of Season 2.
For the contestant in each team who chooses to impress C/H/A/N/E/L, you must send me a song that would fit well on the soundtrack of Emma Roberts' hit television show 'Scream Queens'. |
keshaspearsxo |
Full-time judge on Drag Race Season 1, and currently in the Top 6 of Season 2.
For the contestant in each team who chooses to impress pears, you must send me a K-Pop song. Pears' advice to you is to go through his posts in the K-Pop thread to pick something that you know is going to impress him. |
mxtthewdelrey |
5th Place and Miss Congeniality on Drag Race Season 1, and currently in the Top 6 of Season 2.
For the contestant in each team who chooses to impress your host, you must send me a song by an artist who has not charted on the UK Singles Chart. My advice is that my signature is full of artists...and a certain label that I adore. For those solely impressing me, think hard about what you are sending . |
In your teams, you must PM each other and decide which of the three contestants will send a song for each of the three themes, and then you must individually choose your songs and
PM them to me. Make sure to tell me which theme you will be representing when you send your song.
Here are your teams of three:
MusicLoverDude, Kamil24 and Fidel
VDK, prezli and Dante
DevonDreams, Navyofbadgals and -mUsIcLoVeR-
Loveyoubxtch, jpow and K$Ellie
Ashrock, Bloomers and Lynx
eteru, Legend E and Paramore
thecptz, Yvess and Santaus
Remmy, wesleywalrus and URBAN
For Remmy, wesleywalrus and URBAN, you all broke the rules last round, so you must place in the Top 5 teams, or you will be eliminated.
Each judge's scores will be added together, and the team in 8th place with the lowest combined score will be eliminated.
If there are any arguments in a group about which contestant will send a song for which theme, then I will use a randomiser to decide who will send for each theme in your group.
mxtthewdelrey's Tip
You each will be solely trying to impress one of the judges. Go through their posts. Look at their signatures and profiles. Stalk them if you have to. They will decide your fate, so make sure you leave a lasting impression.
No one will be required to rank this round. Your fate is in each judge's hands.
Rules
All rules can be found in the OP, but remember:
- Do not send a song that has been a single, or a song that is banned. When it comes to singles, these will be judged case-by-case, and I will generally be a little easier on this rule, as a PC Music fan, I know there are a lot of buzz tracks and singular releases that aren't really singles as such. I will let you know ASAP if I have an issue with your song.
- You must include the name of your song and artist with your file. Send a download link to me, or if you give me the title of the song, I will try and find one for you.
- If 2 or more contestants send the same song, the first contestant will have the priority, so send a back-up if you think someone may take it.
Deadline
All songs are due by
8pm GMT on Sunday 17 April 2016. The sooner I receive all songs, the sooner I will update.
There are thirteen banned artists as of this round - Rihanna, Avril Lavigne, Beyonce, Ellie Goulding, Little Mix, Madonna, Taylor Swift, Grimes, Robyn, Carly Rae Jepsen, Kacey Musgraves, Lorde and Adele.
