Unfortunately, rando has decided not to offer Johnny a mod position at this time. I'm sure he will blog shortly but if not i plan on making a blog later today to provide transparency like i promised, and to address a few more issues
HighNoon
1) Ting Tings- Great DJ: A classic song here, I've always enjoyed them and I'm glad you brought this back. It's a strong opening song to your DJ set because you are a GREAT DJ.
2) B-52s - Private Idaho: This video was unavail for me so I went to look for it. I do understand how this kinda links to the song before it. It's that jaunty kinda beat and the drums the drums the drums the drums oh. I didn't know this song that well but it was a fun bop.
3) Cobra Starship - Bring It - Again I guess does flow a bit into the previous song because it has that similar guitar led beat and the female vocals are kinda similar. The problem is... this song on it's own is actually SHIT. Sorry!* (to be said like the board game title)
4) Death Grips - Lord of the Game - This one was far more my speed. I would say the connection here is the female vocal style again being similar. I like this one far better than Cobra Starship, it's a very LOUD and Tayvie kinda song and you always have a unique POV as a song selector.
5) Crim3s - Fade - This was your best song in the bunch, so ending on a high is a great call. I really loved the (is that Alice Glass) screamy vocals and it was really atmosphere building.
Overall Impression: I'm really impressed with how you managed to flow each song into the next without it ever seeming like super abrupt? I really didn't like the middle song though so that works against your favour.
1) Who I Am - Jim Johnston (Chyna) - This might be my favourite from this bunch of songs, it's really iconic, the first few lines just sum up Chyna and even though she sadly dead she is a forever legend.
2) Only Love Can Do It - Jim Wolfe (Joy Giovani) - Now I understand your overarching theme but this doesn't at all flow from the previous song, if it were not wrestling there would be no cohesion really... But you do have that link so there's that. This is the real bop of the songs, very cha cha cha diva!
3) Nasty Girl - Drew Milligan (Layla) - YESSS THIS FORGOTTEN FAVE. I am a nasty girl looking for a nasty boi. I do see more of a flow here with the last one because of the instrumentation and the girly factor, still quite different vibes here though. *puts hand on hip and walks cuntily to the ring*
4) Like A Lady - CFO$ (Lacey Evans) - Act like ya momma act like ya momma! Might have been better to put this after the Chyna song? It would flow more logically then. She SO Traditional. Still a bop
5) Bad Repuation - Joan Jett (Ronda Rousey) - Yeah a better link here for sure again, this is probably one of the less memey songs in your selection and I still enjoy it. It does get the party started and it's important for sure.
Overall Impression:
I think the songs here were all HITS. You know that. But as a DJ Set does it work? There are flow and sequencing problems mostly to do with songs 1 and 2 together.
but only one lady can win the grand prize: a signed photo of That Girl and no I didn't just get Queenisha to write it in a Sharpie.
The winner is...
TAYVIE!
My reason is while Tayvie had a shitty song in the middle of his set, it was definitely more of a DJ set which I had specified, and had cohesion. His theme of 'Ya Momma' did kinda come through to me as the whole vibe was kinda like 'Fuck U' and that's kinda what I draw when we say Ya Momma anyway.
FLOTUS you were an excellent competitor and your WWE Divas Homage will go down in history as a beautiful tribute to our ladies. Great job xx

Congratulations to MichelleObama and HighNoon for making it to the finale of the first Jana B long title etc etc!
I'll be hosting a reunion as well with the result, so watch for that soon. But first... your final challenge is this..
I want a 5 song DJ Set submitted by each of you. The songs need to be in the order they should be listened to and there should be a general flow and THEME. They don't all need to be the same genre, in fact please vary it a bit, but there needs to be cohesion in your collection. Also each song needs to be by a different artist. If you have any questions ask me, and you can have a fair amount of time for this challenge as I know it's kinda lawng.
For the reunion I will be awarding awards like....
- Worst song submitted!
- Best song submitted!
- Most iconic trainwreck song!
- Best use of an advantage!
- Most pussy popping song!
- Most shocking moment!
- Most underrated player!
and if you have any more ideas for awards pls comment below !!!
Alexeh23
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..
HighNoon
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.
MichelleObama
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
was that hussy johneh (sp?)
Hi sjsoccer88,
