IN ORDER OF SUBMISSION:
#Ilovetosing: Timbaland ft. One Republic - Apologize
Alright! I have to admit, this is probably the weakest Timbaland beat but even his weakest is still better than most producers on good days. One Republic are a band I've always felt deserve more love than they get, they're pretty damn great and Ryan Tedder especially is just gifted. All parties involved have better songs than this one, but this is still a fantastic song in and of itself which I do find myself coming back to pretty often!
#Yswimmer96: Marvin Gaye - Heard It Through The Grapevine
Oh. Hell. Yes. Motown is a genre I'll always have a ton of love and respect for, especially when it's as slick as this. Marvin Gaye is awesome! He had a fantastic voice and was always able to project some of the rawest of emotions in his music, whether it was love, lust, or despair like we see here. This man was taken from us far too early, he was a legend in his time and this song is the finest work he ever put out. This silky smooth jam covers up how dark the subject matter is pretty well, his girl is fucking around behind his back and he found out from a third party. I think a lot of people can relate to something like this tbh, myself included.
The time has come to say goodbye to another one of you. Who will it be? The person making it to the Final 4 is...

That Marvin Gaye song is one of the best on that entire list. That said, the fact you came in 2nd in the round but wound up in last in the rankings should let you know the kind of performances you need to bring next round.
You have introduced me to the most new music out of anyone this season, I think, and the most new music to my playlists for sure. I've enjoyed having you here, thank you so much for playing this!!
