Alright back to your normal schedule. Hopefully no one else dies -_-.
Well keep it short, Kindred7 was not able to submit on time. So he is officially eliminated. But I thank you for playing. You've been an absolute treasure here. #MusicTaste
Which means we have our final four. Stay tuned as your next challenge is very soon!
I want to begin by apologizing for the delay, a serious situation occurred, and it needed my attention. Everything is fine now, but I still apologize.
With that said, thank you guys for submitting your songs of the fallen. It was a difficult decision, and I had a hard time picking one winner. From here on I will not be providing critiques. They will set an obvious tone for who is in the top, and who is in the bottom.
So let's get to the results. Starting with our winner.

Mrkk, you have won this challenge! I think Aretha is a woman who can't do no wrong, and she is a forever lost icon. You scored another win! Good work!
The next person I am going to call for safety, and therefore will advance to the semifinals is..

CJ! I feel Amy is just a strong artist, and this song is just one of the greats. You are the second person in the semi finals. Well done!
That leaves LaCroix, Zeptis and Kindred. You three all brought great songs, and you did not make this easy at all. But only one more of you can be safe. That user is..

LaCroix. Congratulations. This is another strong classic, and I felt you did well in this. Good work!
That means Zeptis and Kindred, I am sorry to say but you are the bottom two for this challenge. It's eleven rounds in, so you know how these eliminations work.
For this elimination, we will be paying tribute to another fallen artist. Or rather a fallen band. Thank you UsernameThatWasFree for the tip. See you later tonight!
Elimination: Linkin Park
Chester Bennington's death in 2017 took the rock world by shock. He was a good man with one of the best ranges I have ever heard. So for this challenge, you two will be sending in songs by the band he led. The user who rocks on will join the semi finals, loser will be eliminated.
I will give you guys tomorrow at 8 pm EST to get them in. Good luck to you both < 3 #MusicTaste
Quarterfinals are here, and with five of you left we are getting down to the wire. #MusicTaste
For this challenge, I took some tips and ideas from people on Tengaged. After some self-deliberation, I found one that works!
Challenge: Songs Of The Dead
This challenge will ask you to send in a submission of a song by an artist that is no longer here with us. Simple and to the point. I will say to be weary on submitting certain songs as they have been done before (Back To Black, Beat It, Smooth Criminal to name a few). So if you accidentally submit a song already done, I will PM you and have you submit again.
Three of you will shine and will have access to the semi finals, but only one can win it. The two losers will have to earn their spot.
Swift is a lady that doesn't deserve the hate that she has gotten over the years. You both showcased some underrated hits. So thanks for that. Sadly, only one of you can move on to the quarterfinals with Mrkk, Kindred, Zeptis and CJ. The user moving on is...

LaCroix! You have survived elimination. Job well done!
Which means we have to say goodbye to Sugar. You have brought some fun submissions in this series and was a powerhouse from the start to the end. Thank you for your participation here! I'm sure we will cross paths in games!
We have our final five this season. You guys have had your highs and lows in this competition. Everyone is at equal fields! I will see you later today for your eleventh challenge! #MusicTaste
Well first off I want to say thank you guys for your namesake submissions. It was a neat category with some neat results. As I stated from here on out you're either in the top, or you're in the bottom. So let's get to the critiques.
LaCroix "Stacy's Mom" by Fountain of Wayne
So this is a timely classic that majority of us over 18 have listened to. It's a nice song for people to listen to. However I feel compared to other submissions this round it falls in the lower three. I guess it's not a song I typically would enjoy, and once the other submissions rolled around it just feel behind. Sorry :/
Mrkk "Lolita" by Lana Del Rey
So Lana is an artist that you either love, or you hate. There is no in between. I am obsessed with this lesbian fantasy for one, and then two this song was awesome! It's a nice mix of ballad and pop. Makes it more enjoyable for any party or car ride. I think you deliver this round, and have really been a shine in the last few rounds!
Zeptis "Jerome" by Lizzo
This song was cool. The way Lizzo sings and carries her songs is just unique. There is so few with her range. It's just in a realm of it's own. I never get a chance to visit her non single songs. Because I am a basic lesbian anyways lol. So it is very refreshing to see you submit this. A good round for you, and I can't wait to see what you bring next!
SugarLove "Angela" by The Lumineers
So I do love The Lumineers. They are a nice band with a very humble background. However I feel this song was not the best of submissions this round. It's a nice song, and the sound is beautiful. But I feel all in all it fell just a tad short amonst the rest of the submissions. I'm sorry.
CJtheIslander "Sir Duke" by Stevie Wonder
So I will say that this song was fun. How Stevie performs is something that is very amazing and is a voice all on it's own. My critiques are more on the lines of being knit picky. I wish it wasn't a live submission. While it was still done well, I just felt a little more producing would have been better.
Kindred7 "Sofia" by Alvaro Soler
So this was fresh compared to the rest of the submissions. I do love that it was in a different language, but you felt an understanding on what the song was about. It was very catchy, very fun, and it felt like a good energy! All in all, I think you delivered a nice submission!
Mrkk, Zeptis, Kindred. You three delivered this round and are advancing to the quarter finals. But there can be only one winner in this name game.

And that is Mrkk! Congratulations on winning this challenge! I think you took a song with a fusion blend, and made it into a top tier submission this round. This is your second win. Keep it up!
Zeptis and Kindred, you two did well and are safe this round!
Which means LaCroix, Sugar and CJ fell short in this challenge. But one of you managed to push forward in the next challenge.

That user is CJ! You have survived this challenge and will be advancing to the quarterfinals.
That means LaCroix and Sugar, I am sorry to say but you two are up for elimination. You know the name of the game. Artist inspired due to challenge, and blah blah blah.
For this elimination, I wanted to take the challenge theme and turn it into who I feel has had their name dropped in the music industry more. For better or worse anyways.
Elimination: Taylor Swift
Oh Swifties. Whether you love or hate her, there is no denying that she has had her name dropped more often than most. So let's pay ohmage to her. You two will tasked to submit any Taylor song of your choosing. The user who shines will survive elimination. Loser will have to get chopped.
You two have until tomorrow at 8 pm EST to get them in. Good luck guys! #MusicTaste
