Who will STAY ALIVE and who will BURN in tonight’s Sing For Your Life?
mbarnish1 and JoeFromUnderArmour you had both received the lowest scores in the last theme and had one final shot to ‘blow us all away.’ You were both asked to submit a song of your personal choice for one more chance to continue. This was another incredibly close elimination round with merely 0.5 of a score separating the two of you. Both of you had chosen iconic throwbacks so it was rather difficult for us to pick which we liked more! With that being said, here it what we thought of each submission…

. mbarnish1 - Free Fallin’ (Tom Petty)
M: Yes Barny! Tom Petty is so good and this song is definitely one of his best, even if it is his most known. It’s such good vibes and is a great song to listen to when you just wanna relax and think. It’s so simple but everything about it just works. I also get nostalgia from my dad playing this in his truck while we drove home from my school, and it always gave me good feelings that I was done for the day and could relax now. This song honestly used to be one of my all-time favourites and while I don’t think I’d say that anymore, it’s still an awesome song that I never dislike hearing. Great pick.
K: These oldies are so funny coming from you because you’re a wee baby. Definitely an iconic song from it’s time and I loved the aesthetic of the music video LOL. Honestly another song that I’ve heard one too many times but I don’t mind it. My favorite part is probably the chorus, it’s a really laid back song but it’s not something I’d chill to. It was definitely a good pick though nothing bad to say about it.
JoeFromUnderArmour - Run-Around (Blues Traveller)
M: I really didn’t know this song was called this or the band that sung it and expected this to be a song I didn’t know, but alas! This is another throwback, and just like Free Fallin’ it gives really good vibes. This one is more of a fun and carefree song IMO, and definitely something I could see popping up at a 90s themed party. I’m ngl I really don’t really understand half of what they’re saying and had to look up the lyrics but it has a cute meaning behind it and the lyrics definitely fit the song. Y’all are making these elims really hard man, great work!
K: Holy cannoli, unlike Matt I’ve listened to this song 5 days a week at work for the past 3 years. I think any song from my job just violates my ears whenever I hear it outside of work so this was just such a bad coincidence for you. It’s a good song for it’s time but it’s personally not my cup of tea :-(. Even if it was my first time listening to it or 700th this is not something I’d bop to sadly.
mbarnish1! Congratulations, you have secured your safety and will be moving on to the next round. This was another incredibly close elimination round and shows that when it comes down to the wire you guys are really picking your best. This means unfortunately for you JoeFromUnderArmour, this ends your time with us (for now)! You started off really strong and we loved what you brought to the table but tonight just wasn’t your night.
