Julian's Music Taste - Finale RESULTS/WINNER

Dec 6, 2021 by Thnksfrthmmrs
GRUNGE:

#Yswimmer96: Nirvana - All Apologies
I’m glad you didn’t go with the easy answer of Smells Like Teen Spirit because that song doesn’t connect with me all that well, I respect it more than I like it. Nirvana is probably the single most important band in rock but they are my least favorite of the Big 4 (or 5 depending on who you ask) of Grunge just by default. THIS, though, is a song I do enjoy a lot. Kurt has a wonderful voice which matches the incredibly dark themes of this song very well. Lyrically, this song could be seen as a suicide note for Kurt Cobain. This is a song you really have to commit to, but it’s worth your while.

#Weetmaster: The Cranberries - Zombie
Lemme start by saying I’d already had to reject one song from someone else for not counting as grunge (even though I love that song) so I did a bit of digging on this one too because I wasn’t sure, and though the general opinion is split, Wikipedia says this is a Grunge song so I will count it! And thank god for that because YES YES ALL OF THE YES THIS SONG IS SO GOOD. I don’t know if I’d even call this my favorite Cranberries song but that is a VERY high bar to clear because the quality of everything they’ve put out is just so high. Dolores O'Riordan had such a raw, powerful voice which she used for great impact on this song, which is still as important and effective today as it was way back when. This is where I would very briefly mention the Bad Wolves cover from a few years ago because it’s actually pretty good but their frontman blocked me on Instagram over politics so fuck them (:

#NewNightmare7: Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun
Oh hot DAMN, this is one hell of a way for you to kick off your finale setlist! This is the morbid, haunting, melancholic shit I live for! Chris Cornell was an absolute DEITY of music, everything that man touched was gold and it’s beyond tragic that he’s no longer with us. I’d say Black Hole Sun is probably my favorite Soundgarden song although MY GOD there is a lot of competition for that title! After these last few years I too am longing for a bit of a reset, and in those darkest moments this is the song I turn to and let sweep me away into envisioning a better place, if only for a few minutes. I love this goddamn song, I always have since I was very young, and I always will.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

LIVE NIGHT:

#Yswimmer96: LeAnn Rimes (as The Sun) - When The Party’s Over
I love Masked Singer! I love LeAnn Rimes! And WTPO is my favorite Billie song and my favorite hit song of 2019!!! This performance is a slam dunk for me. This is a performance that leaves you totally speechless, it DEMANDS your full attention. The entire first verse and chorus being sung entirely acapella was such a bold choice but it paid off in spades and it’s absolutely no wonder she won the season! As far as the song itself, When The Party’s Over is a song that grips me hard from the opening notes and does not let go. It is raw, it is powerful, though I will say I don’t listen to it often because it is emotionally DRAINING and leaves me feeling so empty during and after. This is a contender for my favorite Masked Singer performance out of all of them!

#Weetmaster: Andrea Bocelli & Elisa - Dancing
I thought this was very pretty! I’m not all that familiar with either artist and went into this with no real idea of what to expect. I wouldn’t say this was my favorite performance but I liked what I heard for sure! The instrumentals are just lush and gorgeous and Elisa’s voice is beautiful. I do like this!

#NewNightmare7: Leona Lewis - Bleeding Love
I’m not as familiar with X Factor, surprisingly I don’t watch a lot of these music shows besides Masked Singer. That said, I AM familiar with Leona Lewis and this song especially. Leona Lewis has a great voice, I’ve always felt she doesn’t get as much credit as she deserves. This performance in particular was a great showcase of her talents, which by that I mean just her pure raw vocals. This song evokes a lot of pain and heartache and she expresses that in excellent fashion, I loved watching it and listening to this! Good submission!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

MAKE YOUR MARK:
#Yswimmer96: The Weeknd - Earned It
This is your big final submission? Are you sure about that? Okay… When I first heard this song, I loved the hell out of it. I hadn’t heard anything quite like what Abel was doing, so I thought this was just the best fuckin thing ever. But have you HEARD the stuff he’s been putting out lately? This has been blown out of the water by pretty much every other single he’s ever put out and it’s not even close. This is his weakest single by far. That Offspring song you wanted to submit for Grunge probably would have fared better, ngl. Sorry!

#Weetmaster: My Chemical Romance - Welcome To The Black Parade
WHERE DO I EVEN BEGIN WITH THIS ONE??? I can’t be surprised in the slightest that multiple people sent this in, but you got it first so it’s yours for this round. And with that said, I must now admit to everyone that I was, in fact, an emo kid growing up. I looked the part, I acted the part, I hung out with the other emo kids, and that’s what I listened to as well. This was my ANTHEM from the day it came out, and even to this day it’s a song I come back to pretty often. Lately I’ve been returning to my emo roots and that’s the style of music I’ve been into the most the last few months. Of course, with this song front and center of my playlists.

#NewNightmare7: Radiohead - No Surprises
And we’re finishing off this season with critical darlings Radiohead, with what is probably my favorite song by them! Hell yeah! You hit the nail on the head in your submission when you talked about the existential nature of this, and of dreaming of a better life, both of which are absolutely things I can relate to as of late. The feeling of just completely losing yourself as well as the uncertainty of whatever’s coming next, are so terrifying. Yet there’s peace to be found here as well. This song walks a nice tightrope between uncertainty and peace, between the pretty scary implications and its hope for the future.

BEST PERFORMANCE:


From the very first week up until today, you absolutely CRUSHED this game! Between having the least LOWs/BTM2s out of everyone, and the most 1STs out of everyone, you came in and you did the damn thing this season! I've been putting together a chart for this game and I have to say, just looking at yours it's no wonder you ended up with the win considering your insane amount of wins and other high placements. You did THAT!

Meanwhile, in a very close 2nd is Weetmaster!
BEST PERFORMANCE:


I think back to the first round, where I was not impressed and you wound up 12th/12. Since that round, you dug your heels in DEEP and you avoided every single elimination until the FINAL FOUR because your slay was just so consistent and so strong. Even on the few shaky rounds you had along the way your insane amount of HIGHS and 1STs kept you safe! You did awesome this season!!!

This has been SO MUCH FUN, thank you everyone for taking part <3 Sorry I have been so inconsistent with getting posts up but I really did enjoy the hell out of this!
