I got both submissions right away but I needed to sleep on this one for... reasons...
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IN ORDER OF SUBMISSION:
#Yswimmer96: Rihanna ft. Calvin Harris - We Found Love
Yeah so... I absolutely could not fucking stand this song in 2011. This was just the most grating thing I'd heard, and the fact that I had to hear it regularly just made this INSUFFERABLE. Of course, over time I've heard far worse and I've cooled on this a little bit. I would never seek this out and I kinda hope I don't hear this again, but I'd say it's fine. Also, pretty much everything Calvin Harris did before 2017 is bad.
Why? Why did you two choose these songs? This song is so annoying. I love Gwen Stefani, she's responsible for so much music that I love, but this one is NOT part of that. I hear this at work all the time and my reaction is usually somewhere between mild amusement and reaching for the bottle of aspirin. This one kinda had the opposite trajectory as We Found Love, I enjoyed it at first but oh god has this one soured on me over the years.
If I could double eliminate both of these submissions I probably would, but I'm not gonna be that guy. I thought long and hard but the person who submitted the song I'm more willing to tolerate at any given moment as it stands right now is...

If you had submitted your backup instead of this it wouldn't be close. It's still not the best song but FAR better than this one.
Which means we are saying goodbye to Booyahhayoob.
BEST PERFORMANCE:
Andy you've been a lot of fun to have on this season, but unfortunately this is where the ride ends for you. Thank you so much for playing!
