Category 1: 🔆Celestial Bodies 🔆 Bodies
"Island of the Sun" by Winona Oak #Zest
I love Winona. Her voice is especially beautiful in this song. The essence of this song was just exquisite.
"Barco a Venus" by Mecano #Yoko_Homo
I love Mecano. I feel like the music embodied the theme the most. I felt like I was traveling through space.
"Your Best American Girl" by Mitski #fetish
I mean Mitski's voice is amazing and she quite often references celestial bodies in her music. This song is so stunning.
Verdict: You guys came in swinging ! All three songs were exceptional. It came down to Yoko and Zest. Although I loved "Barco a Venus", I really enjoyed Zest's take on the theme with "Island of the Sun". Zest you have mopped this category.
Zest- 1🥇
Yoko-1🥈
Fetish-0🥉
Category 2: 🏳️ Nationalism 🏳️
"CPA3y BblCOKO" - Erika Lundmoen
I love her voice! Her sound is very unique and interesting . This is a great representation of your amazing music taste.
"No Me Arrepiento De Este Amor" - Gilda
I love cumbias. This is a great representation. The lyrics are heartbreaking. I thought some of my Spanish music taste was niche but you seem to keep tapping into it. This song gave me classy Hispanic party.
"Let's Play" Kristina Maria
Even though this song was a little too pop for my personal liking, I did enjoy it. It was very for lack of a better term catchy. I think this song would have blown up in the 2010s.
Verdict: This category was probably the most personal one. The two songs that gave me a better sense of their home country were "CPA3y BblCOKO" and "No Me Arrepiento De Este Amor." Ultimately, the winner for this category is #Yoko_Homo
Zest- 1🥈
Yoko-2🥇
Fetish-0🥉
Category #3: 🧿 Losing My Religion 🧿
"Holy Water" - Noah Davis #zest
I love his voice and especially the message behind the song. His vocals were amazing and i found the entire song to be ethereal.
"Going To A Town" - Rufus Wainwright #Yoko_Homo
I LOVE his voice one of the few songs this competition that almost made me shed a tear. I found this sound to be simply impactful and beautiful.
"Hell Above" - Pierce the Veil #fetish
Wow this song was a banger. This song was amazing. A song like this could have mopped either of the categories above.
Verdict: Each song was so different so picking the best one was a difficult. That being said, Yoko_Homo your song made was spectacular and it made me feel something. You have mopped this category.

Announcement:
I wanted to say that there will be a S2. The theme and format will change and I want to submit the game to be approved for ts by the mods. I wanted to gift ts to 2nd/3rd place but mods can't transfer ts apparently :( That beings said, everyone from S1 is allowed to audition for S2. It's up to you if you want to audition or save your songs for an All-Star season (hopefully)
I am going to miss this game a lot because you did excellent and because it was a great company and I am very happy to have won it more than you imagine well played guys 💜💜💜💜💜 in difficult times this is a nice moment
