Welcome to the Fifth Elimination. The theme for this elimination was: Rock Party Songz.
This has been the most disappointing elimination round yet. This theme has a lot of potential and you guys flopped. With the exception of one contestant, each submission was more than predictable. It's like you guys googled the theme and submitted the first song that came up. I hate predictability.
It's time to introduce the judge assassin. This week's judge is probably the most experienced judge when it comes to music contests with a 12 season successful series. He is a rock enthusiast and party animal. Today's judge assassin is

Matchup #1: Zest vs chad123
We're Not Gonna Take It by Twisted Sister
Hmm, honestly, I'm a bit uninspired by the lack of originality in this song. Like rock is such a vast genre, and I get a song you can find in any given comedy movie getting ready for battle scene. The song is fine, it's nothing I would listen to just for funsies, but like it's an inoffensive song. Nothing special, nothing bad.
Love U Already by Fluerie
The echoey vocals here sound very pretty, and was a nice twist on a rock song. I will say... I'm not quite sure how much rock I think is in this song? Maybe the chorus gets a bit alternative rocky, but I'll follow up with bestie UmbrellaBird. Between the two songs? I much prefer this one, but on a topic of rock music I'm a bit hesitant here.
Decision: Matchup 1: If by your metrics you accept Love U Already as a rock song, then that is my winner. If you feel they missed the theme then on principal We're Not Gonna Take It is the winner. I'll leave that up to your call because its your game.
My take: The judge assassin's word is final, therefore #Zest congratulations you're the winner of this matchup. If it was up to me, I'd make the same decision. I hope this sends a message to everyone! Stop submitting obvious songs!!

My Sharona by The Knack:
I really enjoyed the beat in this song. I feel like my commentary is a bit linear to We're Not Gonna Take It, but to a but of a lesser scale. I feel the originality could have been focused on a bit more. But the band did a phenomenal job in this song, they really carried the meh vocals here for me. I'd also say the song went on a bit to long for my liking, but thats neither here nor there.
Highway To Hell by AC/DC:
I've said it before, I'll say it now, and I'll probably say it again in the future... I'm just bored with a song I've heard a million times. See We're Not Gonna Take Its commentary. I do think this is the hardest rock I've gotten with the four submissions, and it's appreciated on my end. I guess what it will come down to for me is which song I prefer because there is no considerable edge either way on this one for me.

Death Match: #Chad123 vs #Hyuna
Hard Rock Hallelujah by Lordi
So The Hills Have Eyes? Iconic. I think thats where the iconicness ends for me. This I would say is too Metal for my little ol musical palate. Rock is a very vast genre, and unfortunately I think this just falls into one of the subgenres I'm not particularly into. If you're American or not European and were one of the three who took my first critique about being more original- I appreciate that. If you're European... I saw these charts 😂.
Misery Business by Paramore:
I mean Bawp. The song itself is a classic, and do I have complaints about her? No. HOWEVER, once again on the whole originality thing. Arguably one of Paramores, if not the biggest song they have had bestie boo. While I love the song, I'm left bored listening to it and giving a critique. I don't think my decision is as clear as it should be in theory here.
Winner: A reluctant Misery Business because that other song was....... really bad IMO

Which means, #Hyuna you took a gamble and unfortunately it did not pay off. Although you were a stronger competitor than #chad123, you lost the battle and therefore the war. You are an all-star!
New theme will be up tonight
