For the first theme of the season, our contestants were tasked with submitting a song from 2022. Who rose to the occasion, and who will be the first person sent packing from the game? It's time to find out...
#Mbarnish1 - You and country lmfao. This was honestly a really cute listen! It's not the greatest country song ever, but this was an extremely cute listen I could certainly vibe to! Good job!
#Lhooper902976 - Before this I got an ad where a man asked me if I wanted to smell like mama's Little Man lmfao. Anyway...this song...IS A BOP!!! This was an absolute SLAY YESSSS!!!!! It may only be two songs in, but I can already safely say you're a front-runner this week ;)
#NeutralMilkHotel - Ok...I appreciate that this was a very different send, but I'm afraid I didn't really enjoy this that much. I didn't absolutely hate it, but it's just not really my thing...I do need to give you brownie points for going out on a limb, and being rather unique with this though!
#Tester - Ohhhhhhh...I'm afraid this just wasn't it for me. I'm sorry to Harry stans, but I'm afraid I kind of hate this song...I just find it annoying, and it grates on me, like a lot of Harry's music I'm afraid, sorry :(
#Thnksfrthmmrs - I had no idea what this was going to be when I saw the thumbnail...but I honestly really liked this! The music video was also so adorable <3333 Overall, this was a really strong first entry, I loved it!!!
#CocoVanderbilt - This was also quite a nice listen! I could get into this for sure! It's not absolutely sensational, but it really is nice for a switch-off listen, and it certainly had me nodding my head!
#Hellocat - I don't really get on with a lot of Nikki's music, but I have to say...I didn't mind this. It had a funky beat to it, something I could bop along to for sure! It's not going to be on the top this week, but it certainly won't be on the bottom...good work :)
#SeongWoo - Unfortunately, Tate is another artist I don't get along with a ton. This was just sort of...there for me. I didn't adore it, but it wasn't absolutely dreadful, it just sort of exists I'm afraid. That being said, I really don't think this is elimination-worthy, and it was really an alright listen
#Streamxx - YASSSS THE TEENAGE VIBES I GOT FROM THIS :D This was an absolute HIT! I added this to my playlist so fast omg! This was a simply SENSATIONAL way to start this contest! Thank you so much for introducing this to me, to find new musical slays was the reason I started this, and you have already DELIVERED, I can't wait to see what else you have up your sleeve ;)
#Snails - Ok, I LOVE Rosa Linn, but Duncan Laurence is so...eh. If this was just Rosa and no Duncan, you would definitely be a top 3 contender. This was certainly a good send, very solid for week 1, well done :)
#Absol - This was a really nice way to round out the show! (Technically, Matt's song was last because he was a SLOW COACH at posting but let's just pretend this closed week 1). it doesn't create anything groundbreaking, but I was ready for a nice little rest, and to allow my brain to go somewhere with the music. Truly a good listen...well done this week!

Alright, after listening to all of the songs, I have made a decision...

ALL THREE OF YOU. This is what happens when you don't post I'm afraid. I have nothing more to say, other than everyone else should be grateful for your existence, therefore sparing them from the first elimination of the season. Goodbye.
