The Most Iconic
By a vote of 13-7 Taylor Swift ( Becksta20 ) was saved, so that means Ariana Grande ( NicoleF )will be leaving us. A lot of the votes here were personal. Jessie J ( tswiftlover13 ) quit the competition and tengaged. We lost two front runners. It's anyone's game.
This week's challenge is: The Most Political. We listen to music to forget about the real world, and artist deliver this fantasy. However, any good artist should be politically conscious . The song does not have to be outright political. It can have political undertones. You can share what makes your song political if you like. We will be judging four things. The music, the lyrics, the message, and the impact.

After being criticized for being apolitical, Swift wrote a lengthy post on Instagram in which she acknowledged being previously “reluctant to publicly voice my political opinions.” That stance changed “due to several events in my life and in the world in the past two years” and resulted in the superstar endorsing two Democrats running in her native Tennessee and outlining some of her core beliefs — including a disavowal of systemic racism and the declaration that “any form of discrimination based on sexual orientation or gender is WRONG”. The video ends with a message for viewers to sign a petition calling for passage of the Equality Act.
This was a hard one for me, because "comethru" is Jeremy's most political song and I've already submitted that one. So I decided to submit "oh, mexico" because it talks about an escape from everything really, I feel it can be interpreted to be running away from a relationship, life itself, or the government and politics of the US or other big political states. Mexico is represented as a safe haven in this song.
