First off, congratulations again on making it to the end!! It’s been a wild season, and we’re gonna end on a strong note for sure. A couple of you have played my contest before, but everyone here is a first time finalist so you may not be aware of how the finale format works. If anyone is familiar with RuPaul’s Drag Race, you four will essentially be competing in a ball. Three songs will be submitted for this round, and at the end of each category I will eliminate the least liked song until we have two players left. In the final round, the best song will win.
Just like last season, the first two categories were assigned by the player with the most overall wins, and the player who won the final 5 round. This season, both of those titles happen to go to MISSimogen so she will be deciding both themes! This is a huge advantage as she can play her cards right and easily move to the final 2, where my category will be the final obstacle to winning. So let’s get to the categories.
ROUND 13 THEME- IMOGEN’S CHOICE
For winning the most overall challenges, MISSimogen gets to choose your first category. The category assigned is “UNDER 5K.” You will be looking for songs with less than 5,000 views on YouTube. I will specify that the video has to be from the artist page, or from a “[artist name]- Topic” auto generated page if that’s where they store their music. This may be a tough category for people, so my advice is to google some music publication websites (pitchfork, stereogum, spin, etc) and see what just released music they’re covering. Anything with the last few days may be under that threshold.
The song I would submit for this round is:
ROUND 13 THEME- IMOGEN’S CHOICE (AGAIN)
For winning the top 5 challenge, MISSimogen will pick our next category. The category is “CURTAIN CALL.” You’re looking for a song with an undeniable monumental ending to it, think of songs with a strong cinematic or cathartic feel to them. You want that song that gives you closure, makes you feel like you’ve completed your journey in this competition. Album closers may be a good direction to go in.
The song I would submit for this round is:
ROUND 13 THEME- KEN’S CHOICE (AGAIN)
For my final 2 players, the theme will be “SPLIT IN TWO.” You’re going to look for a song that starts with one kind of sound or direction to the music/vocal, then after the first section transitions into a different sound or direction. I’m looking for the two parts to be distinct from each other without feeling like they don’t belong on the same song. And there can be more than two sections so if it changes again that’s totally fine.
I am giving everyone TWO DAYS to complete this. Post your videos below. And since this is such an important decision and I don’t want to make the wrong one, I’ve asked my good judy Slice to help me do final critiques. So we both will be deciding the winner of this season. Good luck.
