⭐ Welcome back to Slayful Music! We're still sending you home if we smell unoriginality. #MusicTaste
🎵 I'm welcoming 14 new contestants that will have to prove they're as good as the legends we discovered on the first season. I have high hopes for that, or do I?
🎵 Last time I introduced special guest judge #FromAWindow and told you guys to send a song that 99.9% of the world does not know about! Me and him ranked the songs are now we'll find out who impressed both or who flopped for both.
🔴 RESULTS 🔴
Since this is such a special round, for this time I'll give my opinions on the songs right on the blog instead of making y'all ask for them in the comments. Braden (FromAWindow) made comments too so here we go!
⭐ countrysavage - Sophie Meiers - Okay W/ That
⚫ Me - This was short and to the point! Very simple and effective and I guess that’s what you need to make me positively approve a song sometimes. Rly enjoyed this 100%! Doesn’t feel like a round winner but I still liked it.
⚫ Braden - short and sweet, very up my alley in its sound and I like the production quite a bit, a hit!!!
⭐ Tester - Anton B - Speak
⚫ Me - Cute cute cute! The voice was adorable. It feels like there’s a 2-minute chorus but overall it was listenable and a great way to start a musical career. I’m ok with this submission. Probably worse than last round’s submission but not a tragic stumble.
⚫ Braden - the best part of this by far is his voice, very silky smooth and I like this kind of song but like…it’s evident this is his first song released ya know? Song writing chops aren’t there (I can’t say anything about that don’t worry lmao I would probably make this as a debut too ngl) but his voice is really nice and it’s clear there’s potential to make slays in the future!!
⭐ reallyreally - Garrett Bryan - Deon, Delray & Daddy
⚫ Me - This was a cute listen, something that I would really enjoy if someone suggested it to me randomly, but that I wouldn’t probably listen again. It’s not bad at all, it’s very well produced but it’s just not my genre. Not a bad song tho.
⚫ Braden - Ummmmm the guitar solo was really nice but otherwise I really didn’t care for this at all. Not just that it’s country but the song didn’t seem to have any direction.
⭐ Hisoka - The Sunshine State – Dating A Drug Dealer
⚫ Me - The perfect closing credits song! Felt so nostalgic and the melody was comfortable in a way. Loved everything about this, simple enough I have nothing else to say.
⚫ Braden - The verses were run of the mill but that chorus WHEWWWWW took me in wow! Good song!
⭐ tswiftlover13 - Ariana & The Rose – Cosmic Lover
⚫ Me - Idk who this queen is, idk how this has less than 10000 views but what I know is that I found this a nice listen and in the end it’s all that matters right? I have nothing to say about this song like there’s no flaws or anything, just a little bit of a slay ig.
⚫ Braden - This 80s sound is usually tired but Ariana generally brings an almost 90s beat to it that pulls me in, it’s a niche take on the genre that I enjoy and this is a slay! Shocked this has less than 1000 views wtf
⭐ BlueZavi - Nikola B - Girl Inside My Head
⚫ Me - This went on for too long, a 3 minute version would be better in my opinion. It just felt the same thing for a very long time and couldn’t quite find a moment where I enjoyed it a lot. It’s still a cute song I guess!
⚫ Braden - This just like. Her voice was good but overall it just wasn’t a well produced song. The instrumentation needs some WORK girl
⭐ Cullenhi - Quilt - Passersby
⚫ Me - A 5 minute relaxing session! This was chill and old school. Still, I didn't find it very much interesting and it just didn't surprise me or even slightly make me smile or anything. No reaction but still made me feel okay. Would enjoy eating at some restaurant with them playing some songs.
⚫ Braden - Oh this is really different and unique! A bit long to me but I just really appreciated the instrumentation, there was an almost eerie Beatles like quality to the song (like later Beatles) that I liked and appreciated, I like a good indie song, good job!
⭐ PrincessPinklips - Roy Blair - I Don't Know About Him
⚫ Me - This was very chill! There was no moment where I was amazed actually, I feel like there could’ve been some cute drop in some parts of the song. I’d listen to this at the beach or at a party, I guess it’s ok.
⚫ Braden - This has potential, I like this kind of sound but it feels like this person needs to work on his craft a bit to really make a slay rather than a jumbled mess. It’s got potential but overall not a great listen.
⭐ LooseyLaduca - The Poster Paints - Circus Moving On
⚫ Me - The production is amazing!! It feels like a song for a slow dance and during a dramatic scene in a teen series! The voice is...questionable but overall it’s a great track and the instrumental parts are gorgeous.
⚫ Braden - Idk kinda slow and not like gorgeous slow but slow just to be slow but there were parts in the production that were nice
⭐ BigBrotherDonny - Amadelle - Brat
⚫ Me - yas slay! <3 that sample at the start was everything sfhdhsdkjfsdhkfsdh other than that lovely song I guess!
⚫ Braden - This is in the top half of my rankings solely for the veruca salt sample that shit took me OUTTTTTTTT LMAOOOOOOOOO this made me laugh a lot. There was a song too!!!
⭐ Spyder701 - NEVE - Outside Voices
⚫ Me - Short but amazing! I love being fed with some basic pop by singers with amazing voices! One of my favorites from this round, I was cutely impressed and I’m sick this has less than 10000 views ughhh.
⚫ Braden - This was fine. Idk this is the kinda white girl pop I don’t love. Upvotes for the production being more top notch than others this week
⭐ oswordo3 - Revenge Wife - Fantasy Girl
⚫ Me - Oh wow! I LIVED! This was SLAYFUL MUSIC! The “Uno, due, tre” parts cringed me a little but I rly enjoyed this. The chords and instrumental are quite simple but they’re catchy as hell and I guess it’s alright! A cute and powerful experience!
⚫ Braden - This is higher up only bc of a) the fact that this disco song has STRINGS thank god and b) bc like. the singers voice was so cringily and bad it was such camp. It made me feel something which I’ll take!
Now time to see the results, 1st in a ranking got 12 points and so on until 12th place got 1 point. Both me and Braden have our rankings and I'm going to announce our winner first...
⭐ countrysavage! You've placed 1ST for Braden and 6th for me and it was enough for you to win the round by 1 point! The song was nice so good job. Just keep in mind you would've been in the middle zone if I decided only so be careful! Since you won you'll have to switch a member from each team for the next episode.
This means BlueZavi is last place for the Sun Team while Tester is last place for the Moon Team (lost the tiebreaker against reallyreally), so this means they'll face eachother in the tiebreaker!
_______________________________________________________________
🛑 NOT-SO-SLAYFUL-TIE 🛑
With that being said, it's time for the elimination tiebreaker!
BlueZavi and Tester will face each other to determine who leaves the game for good.
This is how elimination works. You'll have to send a song that reminds you of another song that I'll select for you! The one who matches the most similar vibes, lyrics, tempo, and style of my selected song will stay in the game, while the other player will leave.
The song for the 12th place tiebreaker is...
⚔ Good luck to both of you! When you'll both submit a song the eliminated player will be revealed and we'll move on to the next round.
