By the same people who brought you Absolita's Barista Contest, welcome to Absolita's Music Taste! Absolita Industries has been working around the clock to bring you another amazing production with... admittedly less shitposting and probably a LOT less text, because I learned my lesson from last season.
What a nice cast!! You all look lovely in your promo shots, and the cast rounds out to a nice, even... 18? Huh, I could have sworn there was supposed to be an additional cast member. I specifically requested 19 contestants because it's my lucky number... oh well. I'm sure this won't come up at a later time in the season.
Anyways, I think it's a good idea to lay out some season-long rules, because... it's all about precedent. If you don't set clear guidelines for your contestants, they just start doing whatever they want!!!
1. All submissions will be posted HERE, not mailed to me or sent in pms or anything. *camera pans to tayvie* I like everyone to be on an even playing field and I don't want people to send accidental duplicates.
2. All deadlines are FINAL. No extensions, no nothing. If you don't post on time, you are fucking cancelled forever and I will never forgive you as long as I live, and Absols are known to have /very/ long lifespans. Also you will be eliminated, if that wasn't clear.
3. However, if you submit something that I don't feel fits the theme, and for whatever reason I ask you to resend, I'm willing to negotiate an extension if I'm not able to give you fair notice to resend on time (although the extension will ONLY apply if this is the case).
That's really all I have for now when it comes to rules, so let's get into our first theme!
Our first theme is going to be FIRST IMPRESSIONS. Before I spend an entire season making everything about me, I want to know about all of YOUR music tastes. Send me a song that really defines your music taste, or maybe even a song that you think represents you as a person! That's it. It's a very simple theme, and I'm excited to get to know all of you.
Your submissions will be due TOMORROW, Sunday, January 10th, at 11 PM EST. Don't be late, don't delay, show me who you are and make sure that who you are is punctual! As always, good luck, DJs, and godspeed.
I chose this song because P!nk is amazingly versatile and talented and I think this is a representation of what my music taste is like. I do enjoy a lot of different music styles and I recognise talent even when I don’t love a song/artist/genre. This song is also all about being confident just the way you are which I think is a great message! Hope you enjoy!
When it comes to defining my taste I had to pick a Melanie or Billie song but there's one I've been submitting to a lot of competitions so I thought I'd shake it up...here's Orange Juice.
