Jordin Sparks - 'Tattoo'
Jordin Sparks did and has outsold MANY a girl out here.. Is this technically fitting the category though? Her Idol Winner Single would be 'This Is My Now' specifically... but I won't really mark you down too much because of a possible lack of clarity on my part. This is definitely a good song but Battlefield did outsell. Still a bop.
Cupcakke - 'LGBT'
Interesting, I actually wouldn't have ever called this a Novelty song? Like it's legit good and the message is real? It's not about like coming on a cone or deepthroating or what not? I love Cupcakke and she is such a good rapper, but I'm really not sure this fits the category.
Mitski - 'Your Best American Girl'
Sponjetta IS my favourite indie rock girl but you're right, I LOOOOVE Mitski. I would also say this is my favourite song and video of hers. When the chorus hits the first time round and the guitars belt in, I really be QUAKING. She really can say a lot just by the tone of her voice, and her music is always something I find really enthralling. Is this a little obvious of a choice? I did vote for it and say my love for it in TSC..

Kimberley Locke - '8th World Wonder'
OK so this is NOT fitting the category but from what I can see only FLOTUS really stuck to it so... work! This music video though is absolutely EVERYTHING. I really love the early 00s vibes in this song, it's like exactly what I'd want to close off a rom-com. I really didn't know this that well but you have TOTALLY sold me. I love this shit!
Fast Food Rockers - 'Fast Food Song'
Now you definitely hit Novelty Song right on the titties here. This is exactly what I wanted to see. Some crazy ass song about fast food but is still an actual bop? *Does the Pizza Hut*
Madge - 'H8R'
WEW Tayvie it's a knockout for me here. I H8 U too. It has all the things I really like in songs these days, catchiness, heavy beats and rock elements, cute vocals and simple melody. You've done really well.

Fantasia Barrino - 'I Believe'
Now THIS is exactly what I was looking for here. I want schmaltzy iconic power balladry about believing in yourself or fighting to the end or achieving a goal. Fantasia really sold the fuck out of this. I love her phrasing when she sings, she really does sound kinda wild with a lot of her words. Now finally.... I BELIEVE.
Jillian Hall - 'Sliced Bread'
Another great choice for a novelty song. she really the hottest thing since sliced bread. I love how she just used Britney as her muse for the way she sings 'Me' as 'May'. Now I will say this, it is not as pleasant to listen to as some of the other songs here, but I do appreciate you sticking on THEME.
ITZY - 'Not Shy'
This is your risk here, I don't know this song and with KPOP I am usually really picky so I am interested to see how this turns out.. I like it a fair bit, It's all flowing pretty well and bouncy and fun. Would I be like RUNNING to play this somewhere? Probably not. It's a good titshaker though!
OK So here are the SCORES for each round.
Talent Show Winner Single:
Tayvie - 8 (Would be a 10 but deduction)
Alexeh - 7 (Would be an 8 but deduction)
FLOTUS - 10
Sorry dear that means Alexeh23 you're out. What really did you in was choosing LGBT. I don't see it as a novelty song at all tbh.. While it is a great song it was just not really good to compare it to 2 truly novelty songs. You had a fantastic run but... it's over. Hugs sm
Ok girls... Let's GO!
