FromAWindow - I mean, the lady has 18 or 19 number ones for a reason. I think there was a stronger choice you could’ve done for 90s Mariah, and even though its a stormy song with a lot of dynamics, its less immediate than a lot of the field this week.
moup94 - This was a choice I didn’t have in mind, but it makes so much sense! Punchy, direct, and full of attitude. And I enjoyed you taking on the 70s after seeing people weren’t biting on it as much (70s music is probably my least favorite of the 3 decades so not saying it wasn’t smart!) and then pulling this.
CoolblueP123 - Speaking of attitude. I really forgot how layered the harmonies were in this song, and hearing the “oohs” float in and out my ears was a cool thing to recall. Job well done picking your category and delivering.
camell22 - it’s a legendary song, but in this lineup I felt like I responded to this maybe the least of any of them? When I play it against the other songs on the list, this one feels the most like a chore to get through (and its not like its a major chore, just more of one than the others). Part of that may be overexposure to it to be fair though.
Currents - I loveeed the eccentricity. Bring fun back to music I beg. The bassline is slinky and drives the song forward. And as the song progressed, I found myself grooving more and more. This one is definitely a sleeper, I could see me liking it more and more as time passes.
Insanity - LOVE the chorus on this song, but otherwise it feels a little less timeless than most of everything else submitted. This is sadly just not a song I’d come back to like I would and have for a lot of the other songs listed. But that chorus is so good.
Alright, so let’s get down to the decisions. The winner of this challenge is…

Camell22, you are safe. With two top placements there’s no denying you’re doing something right here, so I think you need to continue on in the competition.
Insanity, thank you for applying. You were not technically my least favorite song tonight, but unfortunately the cookie crumbled this way. VUH GUH :[
Moup doesn’t have to make a decision so I’ll have the next blog up quickly.
I told his ass to join me in the 80's and post something by Billy Idol and he told me to use some squid lube to go fuck myself with... but he's still my blood. This feels awful.
But if we are being real, I thought Currents Talking Heads song was kinda bland compared to Insanity's choice - but I think what hurt Steven was that he said he randomly inputted the theme into google which let the cast know... "she was really putting her back into it" with the EFFORT. So maybe that's what broke the camell22's back so to speak?
