For your second challenge, you were tasked with making a name for yourself, by showcasing a song inspired by a name. From your submissions I have made some decisions...
Christian_ you failed to submit, I don't believe you have the heart to continue in this competition, I am asking you to leave the competition now, farewell.
There still will be an elimination this week, so I will continue.
Aquamarine - 'Shania Twain' by Aura Dione
This is super infectious, like the song has no reason to snap as much as it does but it has both a tradional, folk sound with a current pop sound too. It just really works. I love any song that gives me a serotonin boost.
GabrielTrezza - 'marjorie' by Taylor Swift
I loved Folklore a lot, I was not as keen on Evermore, but this still is such a beautiful song and one of the standouts from the album. It's so effortless and really beautiful. Good step up from a rough first week!
ISandeh - 'Maria' by Hwa Sa
I wanted to like this, but I just couldn't connect to it fully. I wanted to go more balls to the wall, I wanted it commit to the punchy chorus, but I felt like it was a bit lacking at times and needed more fire to really sell me. I did appreciate you doing something different as opposed to the typical songs we see though.
MrBird - 'Luna' by Zoe
So I appreciated this being really different and kind of a standout, I haven't heard many songs like this and there was something really cute about this, but I think it also overstayed it's welcome and it bored me towards the end. A nice song, but I wasn't completely sold on it unfortunately.
Turkeylover - 'Jean' by Cassyette
When this started I thought I was going to really love it, but the chorus was a little too shouty and aggressive for me, it's just not up my alley. It wasn't a song I had heard of so I give props for that, but yeah this just was not really up my alley.
tbrown_47 - 'Audrey Tell Me' by Juice
This was such a vibeeee, really nice vocals and a slick production. It was just really groovy and nostalgic, but also had modern touches. Super cool and not like much other songs so I enjoyed that!
With all of that being said I have made some decisions...
Congratulations tbrown_47 you are the winner of this challenge!
Aquamarine (Super close, switched by judging back and forth) and Gabriel_Trezza (Nice comeback!), you both are safe.
MrBird, I appreciated your risk, you are also safe, give the same vibe but make it more interesting!
That means TurkeyLover and ISandeh, you are up for elimination.
This week, you both must find a cover of 'Iris' by The Goo Goo Dolls!
The best cover will survive, while for the loser, their time will end here!
