Thank you all for the submissions, while this week wasn't extremely hard in finding someone to eliminate. I feel like you all are going to bring something different to the competition and that's where it gets interesting. Now on to the results.
The following people are SAFE (In order of Submission):
Emily ( emzthorne) - "Mary Magdalene" by FKA Twigs.
Darrius - First off let me start off by saying I really FKA Twigs. I never heard this song before but you made me really love it. The lyrics, the beat, the buildup were amazing, especially the outro. She never disappoints.
Mike - okay so I low key kinda was vibing with it. Idk if itās because Iām high or what but it put me in a mood. I donāt think itās something I would just listen to on the regular but Iād need to be in a very particular vibe to enjoy it as I am now
Austin F ( austino15fffan) - "Let's Go" by Matt & Kim
Mike - I was immediately vibing out to this. I feel like itās one of those songs you just get stuck in your head and randomly start singing/thinking about when youāre going on about your daily life. Itās a good pick me up and I really appreciate that
Darrius - The little āoohsā in the background were my favorite part of this song. Probably the only part I liked. I donāt think I hate the song it just didnāt excite me. Like Iām left with 0 feelings.
Maxi ( maxi1234) - "Let You Love Me" by Rita Ora
Darrius - Whatās funny is Iāve heard this song before and I never knew who sung it. Iām not a big Rita fan but this made me respect her. It is very catchy and sometimes catchy can be annoying but I donāt mind singing this all day and bopping to it.
Mike - this to me is like your typical pop song. It does exactly what it was intended to do and thatās put you in a good mood/bring a bit of energy. I think it would grow on me with time. Iāll def have to revisit it.
Paige ( paige54) - "PoV" by Ariana Grande
Mike - hmmm, similar to Silver..I would have to set the mood for this song š. I donāt think I would be like āhey letās listen to povā but it would definitely be on a particular short list...
Darrius - Now while I love this song, this pick seemed really safe. But Iām here to judge the songs and not if its safe or not. She did what needed to be done with this song. Originally this was my favorite song on the album (it has now been bumped down by a few others) but nevertheless this is a beautiful song.
SJ ( sjsoccer88) - "Pump It" by The Black Eyed Peas
Darrius - I donāt really listen to Black Eyed Peas, but they do have some bopssss. I actually really enjoy this one. Fergie SERVED in this song and I think her part really helped boost your score for me. This song make me wanna pop lock and drop lowkey LOL.
Mike - this bring me back to my XC pre-race days when I needed to get in the zone. This is definitely a classic but wouldnāt be on my personal list of daily listens. Iāll sure as hell be ready to PUMP it louder once covid is done though š
Turkey Lee Curtis ( turkeylover) - "UNBOUND" by MICHELLE
Mike - this had me doing a little one-two step, side shuffle combo. I def felt I was transported to a different decade and I LOVE IT!!
Darrius - This was a new song for me, I liked the vibe of it. Very retro vibes, but this song makes me wanna look more into this Michelle girl and se what sheās about.
Austin Minaj ( itsAustin) - "Come on a Cone" by Nicki Minaj
Darrius - CMON QUEEN OF RAP. I like how you did one of her throw back songs and nothing too new. This isnāt one of my favorites but her bars ALWAYS give. But I HATE when this hoe tries to sing lmfaoooo, stick to rapping mama. That āDICK IN YOUR FACEā took me tf outtt.
Mike - ughhhh I miss when Nicki used to go pure savage mode!! I donāt think Iāve ever heard this song of hers before and though itās not my fav I appreciate the nod to the good ole 2010s š
Congratulations, you 7 have made it to WEEK 2. Moving on to the Top 3.
Silver ( silver09) - "Moment" by Victoria Monet
Mike - so Iām not gonna expose myself too much but THIS SONNGGGG!!! Paired with a tasteful LED is a MUTHAFUCKIN MOMENT š. Glad to see you do indeed have taste š
Darrius - This song is literally so beautiful. I actually used to listen to this song everyday when it first came out. It helped me through this quarantine. She did what needed to be done. Great choice.
Andrew ( iigalaxyii) - "Sweet Melody" by Little Mix
Darrius - I LOVEEEEEE THIS SONG. I just started getting into little mix because of THIS SONG. They ATEEE. Vocals, the video, the looks. Everything was there. I sing this daily so GREAT choice.
Mike - BITCCHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! RESPECT LITTLE MIX! Ughhhh I love them. music video, SERVE. Live performances, SERVE. There are no words...
Christian ( christian_) - Warrior by Demi Lovato
Mike - now THIS is a Demi serve. We love a ballad. I feel the emotion and I canāt help but get all in the feels. I love me some Demi when sheās not blowing out my eardrum! šš
Darrius - Now THIS is a song you pick if youāre picking Demi!! A song off her best album in my opinion. This song sometimes brings tears to my eyes because shes been through so much and has had so many up and downs, she really put her heart into this song.
AND THE WINNER OF WEEK 1 IS...... ANDREW, you have won immunity for next week. Congratulations to you 3 for representing the Highs of WEEK 1.
Now...to the Bottom 4 :
Abby ( absol) - "Baltimore" by Bbymutha
Darrius - I actually had to listen to this song twice to really get into it. It definitely got better on the second listen. This isnāt something I would normally listen to but itās not terrible.
Mike - Overall I wouldnāt say Iām a fan. I liked the chorus but it was just kinda background noise for me. I definitely needed to listen to it a couple of times to get into it but like darrius said. Not terrible, just not my preference.
13 ( thirteen) - "Wurdalak" by Rob Zombie
Mike - this gives me WWE superstar entrance music. The thing is, those usually end after 30 seconds. Idk, itās a no from me champ
Darrius - I- *is shocked* I donāt really know what to say besides this scared the FUCK out of me lmaoooooo. I thought I was being taken to hell by the devil. I think the genre of this like metal and donāt get me wrong I am always open to different genresā¦I literally listen to everything. But now I will listen to everything BUT this. I think my ears are bleeding *walks off stage to grab a tissue*
Sub ( sublegendd) - "Sorry Not Sorry" by Demi Lovato
Darrius - I think for you to choose Demi and THIS is your favoriteā¦ehhhh. I like the song but she has better. Her vocals slayed per usual.
Mike - this hurts. I love me some Demi and she has AMAZING discography but Iām just not really a fan of THIS song. It definitely goes on the little āpre-game, letās turn up playlistā but that it
So with that being said.....the contestant going home is.....13! So sorry, there's always season 2!
Abby, Pinkie & Sub, you 3 represent the LOWS of WEEK 1. Step your cookies up before they CRUMBLE.
Since I came up with Week 1's theme, Mike ( forcemike1) Is giving out week 2's.
WEEK 2 THEME : BALLADS. (Ballad: typically a song that serves in terms of vocals and emotion. Ballads are usually BIG VOCAL PERFORMANCES that convey some kind of poetic story telling.)
You have 24 Hours, and cannot post a song already submitted this season.
