The critiques are in and I am ready to kick another one of you OUT of this game! Jk it’s my least favorite part but it’s how it goes so let’s get to it. The top 3 for the week are… Pheromosa, Litwick and Gyarados…
Pheromosa, congratulations you are the WINNER of this week’s challenge.
Here are your critiques:
1st Place: Pheromosa
Song Choice: Marina’s Trench, “Desperate Measures”
This songgggggggggg is so fucking good. Mariana's Trench can MAKE a pop punk song. There's something about the way the lead singer annunciates the lyrics, the syncopation, the poppy upbeat mixed with a little bit of punk it's just so so good! This song is in my repertoire of pop punk songs and have loved it for years, so I am happy to see it make the list. Thank you!
2nd Place: Litwick
Song Choice: Every Avenue, “Tell Me I’m A Wreck”
Oh I really really like this song ALOT! I've never heard it before but it's the style of punk music I really enjoy (gives ATL vibes major) I also really like the lyrics, overall a very very solid song. Thank you for sharing!!
3rd Place: Gyarados
Song Choice: Green Day, “Still Breathing”
Okay so I know Green Day obviously but I don't know this song and I am pleasantly surprised! I've always liked Green Day's vocals and overall sound, but this one I really like the message of perseverance and it's overall a very solid song. Makes me want to listen to more Green Day! Thanks for sharing.
Now, when I call your name, you are SAFE for the week…
4th Place: Solrock
Song Choice: Avril Lavigne, “Girlfriend”
Oh baby this song eats mhmmm. Epitome of pop punk this song was a HIT back in 2008 and I actually was getting down to old Avril at the gym literally a couple weeks ago. The lyrics are so fun / funny and the song is CATCHY as hell. Great song choice thank you!
5th Place: Piplup
Song Choice: Nova Twins, “Taxi”
Oh this song is eating???? The like techno punk is super unique compared to the other songs submitted and I really dig it. The beat does it for the song, the vocals and lyrics are not anything amazing but I really can get behind this. I'm gonna take your crown, I'm gonna bleed you out mhm mhm purrrrrring
6th Place: Timburr
Song Choice: Paramore, “Misery Business
I feel like I should like this song more than I do. Like its an incredibly popular song, but it doesn't REALLY do it for me. I haven't listened in a while to it though and I enjoyed it this listen, specifically the second verse was REALLY good. The chorus is good, but I do find this to be a little expected song choice. Not bad, but probably not the best compared to the others.
The last Pokemon SAFE this week is…
7th Place: Vulpix
Song Choice: BRE-L, “Oblivion”
Oooh this one is good. Love a good female punk vocalist so I appreciate this song choice. I like the verses more than the chorus and the bridge but it's not a bad song at all.. just not sure if it's up there with the others. It's written by Grimes though, which is also a cool little fact I saw!
Mawile….Mimikyu… I’m sorry my dears but you are the bottom 2 of this week. Here are your critiques…
Bottom 2: Mimikyu
Song Choice: Tom the Mailman, “Last Night”
Honestly I liked the song sonically and the vocals, but the lyrics were really obnoxious. I was enjoying it at first then they got a little cringey for me not gonna lie which was unfortunate cause I was liking it till the chorus.
Bottom 2: Mawile
Song Choice: The Material, “Moving to Seattle”
This one was def more on the heavier punk side of the genre, but it was pretty good. Again, I do love a female vocalist on punk songs so I enjoyed that it was a female vocalist on a heavier song. It's not my favorite amongst the others, I don't find it to stand out as much but I do think the vocals are the best part of the song.
The Pokemon eliminated and being unmasked this evening is…
I am actually really sad to see you go because you had ALOT of highs this season with a team win AND an individual win just last week.
