GERUSA'S MUSIC CONTEST (S01E04 - RESULTS)

Jul 1, 2021 by Geryon
Hey, hi, hello, my musiqué queens. Let's pretend that nothing has ever happened for these last two weeks and keep moving forward? But seriously, sorry about the delay. This episode had some different arrangements based on your performances...

So, when I call your name, please step forward: boyfriend... ponga... and spinfur! You're all safe and you may go back to the Gerusa's Illusions Lounge. Here are your critiques:

boyfriend ━━ Devendra Banhart ‘’Will I See You Tonight? (feat. Vashti Bunyan)’’ ━━ I loved this song. It’s very dense and sentimental. Your choice shows me an amazing consistency that almost made me cry. It definitely fits the theme and the only reason why you’re not placing higher this episode is because the other queens were very on point w/ what I proposed but I must confess that this is one of my top songs of the episode. Thank you for showing me this.

spinfur ━━ A Great Big World ‘’Already Home’’ ━━ I can see why this song is so important to you because it is really beautiful. I have to admit that this is not exactly my favourite genre when it comes to the way it sounds but the music video starring Darren Criss helped me to focus and to draw my attention to it. It definitely fits the theme and I’m glad that this episode touched you, even if a little.

ponga ━━ The Black Keys ‘’Too Afraid To Love You’’ ━━  First of all, I need to give you credits by showing me different songs almost every week and that, for me, that translates versatility. This is a great song and the videoclipe (I don’t know if it’s the official one) is super cute - I loved it. However, lyrically, it’s not giving me EXACTLY the specific scenarios that I’ve asked for you guys. Ok, I get it. The lyric itself is talking about someone that is distant and how much they’re afraid of the love they want to experience with this person…. I guess the whole concept works. I’ll take that. It is a yes for me, ponga!

8 queens remaining on the stage... you all represent the tops and the bottoms of the episoe. Let's get it started with the critiques:

Eoin ━━ Lauv ‘’Drugs & the Internet’’ ━━ I get your choice but it doesn't thrill me at all. This song not only does not necessarily match the assignment but also sounds confusing to me. It’s more like a: We broke up because I'm a nerd-weirdo-antissocial who likes to surf on the net while I drink codeine rather than a song that describes the distance of the relationship THROUGH the web or through the inaccessibility of the loved one.

tswiftlover13 ━━ BENEE ‘’Supalonely ft. Gus Dapperton’’ ━━ I had to listen to this a couple times to try to understand what you were trying to give me considering your notes. After that, I really couldn’t match this song with the task I asked. It describes a sad girl or even an e-girl that feels lonely and struggles to connect with others/the outside world… Where is the cyber-love or long distance relationship in that? I mean, you could subjectively say that the relationship in question is with the ‘’other one’s’’...but, no. It’s not working for me this episode. If you stay, I’d really like to see you boost up and show me the strength it needs to win this contest.

Brandonator ━━ Soulja Boy Tell'em ft. Sammie ‘’Kiss Me Thru The Phone’’ ━━ Hey Brandon! I could easily say that you are giving me generic content for this episode but… hell no. You’re taking me back to the 2000’s era and I’m loving it. This song describes the perfect scenario of straight-people-dating-through-SMS-in-the-2000’s. It fits, it’s catchy af and I dare anyone to stand up and tell me that does not know this major hit. 

_Matt ━━ Simple Plan ‘’Jet Lag ft. Natasha Bedingfield’’ ━━ This is such an interesting choice for this episode! There’s definitely a pop/rock side of me that is really thrilled when I listen to something like Simple Plan, a mix of nostalgia and THAT EMO VIBE that totally represents a person who is suffering for a long distance love or relationship and wants to scream her feelings at the top of their lungs so the world can hear them. Not only is your song of choice totally fitting what I’ve asked for but you’re also sending me to young Gerusa’s memories of myself crying over a Tengaged guy who I’d probably never see but whom I was desperately in love with. Nice call, Matt!

Hunty ━━ SZA ‘’Garden (Say It Like Dat)’’ ━━ Oh… I see that SZA’s whole concept as an artist really describes Hunty’s character and taste level - which I have to say: it’s amazing. BUT (big bUUTy, just like the one she talks about in the lyrics), your song of choice is not reaching the assignment for this episode and I have to say that it is a big no-no for me. Even when I try to subjectively read the lyrics between the lines, I see the essence of someone that is comparing herself with another woman that is hotter than her and at the same time that she is jealous, she is still in love with the guy. And this description goes way far than what I’ve asked.

konohavillage1 ━━ Rina Sawayama ‘’Alterlife’’ ━━ I read your note and I get your concept. However, I need to say that even though you could interpret the assignment + Alterlife lyrics as the practice of catfishing someone, the fantasy ends there, a place where I’m not getting your task as something done but conditionally done. After an amazing win, I must confess that this episode really let me down not only because of what I already told you but also because you went for a Rina Sawayama song... that does not fit the description… when she actually has a big bop that TOTALLY fits the description I gave and could even guarantee your second win: Cyber Stockholm Syndrome.

Lukesaur ━━ Janet Jackson ‘’Empty’’ ━━  I have to say that this episode you gave everyone a lesson when it comes to walk down the runway with subjective lyrics and still nail it. It’s not a secret that I love Janet Jackson and her iconic legacy. This song is beautiful and the lyrics fit the theme perfectly: a web relationship (even if she wasn’t talking objectly about that) where you’ve never met each other… so, you have to use your imagination to fulfill your dreams and desires about getting to know your loved one (in all forms, if you know what I mean)... Great recovery, Luke!

mathboy9 ━━ That Kid ‘’Dial Tone (feat. Ayesha Erotica & Slayyyter)’’ ━━ I see that mathboy is not down for playing in this episode’s challenge… She is SLAYING. I freaking love this song, it’s such an iconic hyperpop track that translates not only lyrically what I’ve asked for the challenge but also through it’s sound: super CYBER VIBES, BABE. There’s nothing much left to say… I’m just going to enjoy this bop. Touch me through the dial tone, Math!

Based on that, I've made some decisions:
#Brandonator.... #Lukesaur.... You're both safe and you may join the other girls...
