Which contestant's song did not go SICKO MODE in this past Sing for Your Life?
J2999, Christian_, and useamint you had all received the lowest collective scores last round and had one final chance at the Sing For Your Life to ‘Bounce Back.’ You were all asked to submit a song of your personal choice for one more chance to continue. This elimination round is a little different because there are 3 of you... but do not fret because only ONE will be leaving us tonight. This was the CLOSEST elimination round by far with only .25 of a point separating the bottom two. You all really stepped up to the plate tonight because nobody’s song had scored below an 8. These were all great submissions, we really did enjoy all of them so it was difficult judging. With that being said onto the results…
useamint - Don’t Take The Money (Bleachers)
M: Aw this was really cute. This is the type of well written love song that I can actually get behind, it’s a little cheesy but just the right amount. It definitely makes ya feel good which is always nice. I will say that if I was in a bad mood I’d probably hate this but luckily for you I’m not! It’s just a really pretty song, lyrically and musically. I love the way it builds up to the chorus and really gets you into it as well. Nice pick!
K: Honestly on the second listen you had me a little bit with this. It’s a really cute song this is definitely something I’d put on my summer playlist and blast with my friends while driving to the beach. I for sure thought it was gonna be some weird quirky indie song I would dislike at first LOL. They’re talented and this song also gives me old school pop vibes which I loved. The video was weird I kind of hated it but the song is good and that’s all that matters!!
J2999 - In Your Eyes (The Weeknd)
M: Oh you’ve finally struck gold with your mainstream selections! This album was awesome and The Weeknd really stepped his game up with it. I was never a fan before outside of a few songs, but now I very much am. On top of that, this song is an absolute BOP. Probably my favourite song of 2020, I’ve sung this song in the shower, in the car, at work, making food, playing video games, with friends, etc. It’s just such an easy song to go off to. Also, everything is complimented so well. The vocals, production, instrumentation, and lyrics all fit together so nicely. Speaking of the lyrics, they are a big part of why I really like this song as well. It paints such a vivid story of a broken relationship. The music video is also awesome. Fantastic pick!
K: Oh I mean...duh. The Weeknd all day every day baby. This entire album reminds me of Willie_ because I don’t think he stopped speaking about it. This album was definitely unique I loved what he did with it, branching out with a different style that was much more 80’s/90’s pop nostalgic. I will say that it’s not my favorite song off the album!! Heartless and Blinding Lights kind of outsold. This song is really chill and just good vibes (even though the lyrics do not agree) so it was definitely a great pick duh.
Christian_ - Because Of You (Reba McEntire ft. Kelly Clarkson)
M: LMAO I’m kinda weak at this being your pick. It really fits you Mr. Underscore! Anyways, this is a good one! Both of their voices are really nice in this, although I absolutely cannot take Reba super seriously, probably because my mom used to watch her show and it just gives me flashbacks to that. So hearing her sing about a shit relationship is kinda jarring, BUT it was a good song and something I could definitely shed a theoretical tear over in the right situation. It’s fairly basic, but still is solid overall. PS I would’ve preferred Kelly’s solo version, but that’s probably because of the aforementioned PTSD.
K: Reba kind of terrifies me I’m not going to lie and she also looks like the woman from BB10 who yells at Jerry. She’s talented though!! I did prefer Kelly’s part way more I think she has an amazing voice. The message behind the lyrics are definitely powerful and they harmonize very well together. I could imagine screaming these lyrics after a heartbreak it would DEFINITELY go on sad girl hours playlist. That being said I honestly do like it as much as I like Don’t Take The Money so this is really tough. The song is really pretty and is such a throwback but a GOOD one to the point where it wasn’t overplayed imo. A good choice Sister Christi.

. useamint! Congratulations you really impressed us with your song choice and will be moving on to the next round! This means for you Christian_, this is a very unfortunate farewell (for now!). This ‘Sing For Your Life’ had some of the songs we enjoyed most and was incredibly difficult to judge. You had a great submission tonight and we are sad to see you leave, but we love what you had to offer! <3
