Critiques in no particular order:
#coolKat: Nightmare - Halsey
-
Girl really? A Halsey single that reached the top 15 on the charts? Yawn. I love Halsey and this song is enjoyable but I wanted originality....this is basic...
#Galaxies: Sunsets (Pt. 2) - SG Lewis
-
It's a fun song and I bopped to it but, I don't know, it didn't hit that mark that would have transcended it. It was fun, but not very impactful. Still a solid, good, enjoyable entry.
#icyz: Bixinho (Remix) - Duda Beat
-
I appreciate the risk taken with this song. It leaned on a bit of the basic side, but it was an overall pleasant listen. I do hope you spark more in the future but this is suitable enough for the first round.
#J4ckWilko: Stranger In My House (Remix) - Tamia
-
Ironically I have been recently doing a project with the billboard charts of the early 2000s so I'm familiar with this song. It is kinda boring to choose a hit song. Yes it's an old hit song but it's a mainstream song from the early 2000s. That said, it's a fun song!
#Jre777: Boys Don't Cry - Anitta
-
Really Jack? A RPDR lip sync song? I mean...it's in character for you, I can't deny it. It just doesn't really scream originality, but yet matches the theme...hmm...conflicted. It's a fine song, I like it, but I was hoping for more from you.
#PenguinOwen126: Older - Alec Benjamin
-
Not a huge fan of Alec Benjamin and his voice and this song ended up being super repetitive but...I don't know....there was something that drew me to this song. It's not good...but it works.

That means the rest of you represent the TOPS and BOTTOMS of the week...time for critiques...
#austino15fffan: Sacrilege - Yeah Yeah Yeahs
-
Some moments left a bit to be desired, but overall this was a fun song that I was introduced to for the first time. It had a cool sound and persona to it. Felt teleported to the recording studio listening to this.
Buttercup13: If We Ever Broke Up - Mae Stephens
-
This is so uninspired and basic. Another viral tiktok song I believe and the singer sounds bored singing it so imagine how I feel....extremely bored. This song is lazy and the sound is overdone and done better. This left me numb. So baseless.
#Cullenhi: I Can't Decide - Scissor Sisters
-
I don't know if this was some tiktok trend song but I've heard this song. It's...fine? Eh...not really my cup of tea and the fact this song has been viral before, it lacks the originality I asked for in this round. I was bored before the song reached halfway.
#Hisoka: Angry Too - Lola Blanc
-
I actually loved this. Very grand yet eerie and I was kept in the zone throughout the entire song. It's an absolute banger with some really cool production choices. It really brought me into the song and the lyrics. Great starter!
#LooseyLaduca: Cherry - Lana Del Rey
-
.......I hate Lana Del Reycist as a person so....well....yeah. It wasn't anything monumental but it had a cool vibe and was good enough. Moments that were lacking were present ESPECIALLY at the end, but this is enough to be safe barely.
#Tone: 97 Avalon - Charlie Burg
-
I first saw 6 minutes and was like 'oh boy' cause if it sucks, it's gonna be hell on earth. There's really no middle ground for a song like this. It's either great or shit and this was great! Also I loved the risk taking by submitting this unknown song! You have guts!
#Zeptis: brrr - Kim Petras
-
Not the Kesha denier...girl? Anyway, this was a fun bop. I know of Kim Petras but only from Unholy really so this was a new experience for me and I know this song isn't some huge, mainstream song. It was enjoyable and had some fun moments!

...Tone, congratulations, you are the winner of the first ever episode of NicoleF's Music Taste! Fantastic work this week! Hisoka, you did great too but it just missed the win. You are SAFE (HIGH)!
Now to the bottoms...Cullenhi and LooseyLaduca, you both talked a big game in the sign-ups to set up a rivalry but no one will care about this rivalry if y'all continue to flop...have either of you done enough?
Buttercup13, you were one of the last that signed up for the game...maybe it was a mistake? Do you have potential?

...Cullenhi....you get one last chance. Do better. I may not have been huge on the song but it was sonically different and, for that, you'll stay.
Buttercup13, I'm sorry, but this is the end of the road for you. Maybe we'll see you again in a future season, but it just was not your time...I'm sorry but I must ask you to leave.
Welcome to the opening season and episode of NicoleF's Music Taste! As this is the first ever episode, we are going to start by getting to know y'all as contestants. Yes, in the future, you may try to appeal to ME in terms of music submissions but to start out, I want to know what appeals to YOU.
Submit me a song **IN TENGAGED MESSAGES** that shows me who you are and what your music taste is like. I want to get a good idea of what might be coming from you in future submissions. Please do not try to play it safe. I would love to expand my music knowledge through this blog contest. That being said, basic pop never hurt anybody. Just be you! Show me you!
Submissions are due by 9:30PM EST tomorrow! I will bug you to send in messages, please don't make me have to.
I have played multiple music games and have done pretty well myself but I've always wanted to host my own to find who's music taste can match and appeal to mine so I'm making the jump and hosting my own.
