❄️ Welcome back to Josh's Ultimate Christmas Competition Spectacular! ❄️
Its the fifth night of Christmas, and we will soon be sending TWO contestants back home to finish wrapping their gifts before the big night.
I have randomized the results for this results list just to show you all my thought process. I'll post the actual rankings in the comments shortly afterwards.
❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️❄️
Tyleror - Blue Christmas by Elvis Presley - I tried my hardest to try to enjoy this song. The vibe isn't it for me to dig at all. I've never really been a big fan of any Elvis music. Like idk the weird like breathy twang he does isn't appealing to me. Just not something I'd ever want to hear again.
Snails - River by Joni Mitchell - Coming in slowly with little bit of jingle bells was cute at the start. I wasn't a big fan of the choir inclusion in this song. It makes it feel a bit to churchy and gospely which is ironic to say I don't like when this whole thing is about Christmas but like.. it's just kind of eh. Like if it was just her it would of been so much better imo.
Turkeylover - If We Make it Through December by Phoebe Bridgers - I don't know that I know of any Phoebe Bridgers songs but feel like I've seen her name a lot. This song is such a good crafted story with a nice melody and flow. If you can make it through the cold and dark times there may just be warmth, sun, and better things ahead.
Voila - Say All You Want For Christmas by Nick Jonas ft Shania Twain - Nick Jonas doing a Christmas song? Country is one of my least favorite Genres. This felt like it was a rejected Blake Shelton song that someone randomly gave to Nick. It wasn't the worst thing ever but definitely not my style.
Jaxon - Dear Santa by Emlyn - God I love this song so much. Just the yearning and wishing to spend one more Christmas with someone you loved who isn't in your life anymore. I think this is my favorite song you've posted this entire competition thus far.
Useamint - In Like A Lion (Always Winter) by Relient K - Oh yeah I feel like this song is like a manifestation of my like seasonal depression (which is just like regular depression but instead it's just really cold out). I really enjoyed the tone and music it's gives that sad tone but in a relaxing way.
Symmetry888 - Blue Christmas by Kelly Clarkson - I mean it's definitely better than the Elvis version to me. I think there is just something about Elvis's voice that makes me feel like I'm stuck at a nursing home listening to their music selection. Anyways I still don't love the sing itself, Kelly can do a lot of good things but making me love Blue Christmas is not one of them.
Tbrown_47 – Lonely Christmas by Now, Now – I thought this one was pretty good. I feel like there was nothing in it that really made me greatly dislike anything about it. Its definitely the one I feel the most neutral about. I don’t extremely love it, but I don’t hate it by any means.

Like I said at the start of the week, there will be no safe zone this week. You are either on the nice list, or up for elimination on the naughty list.
Voila used her Gift of Punishment on Jaxon moving him down two spots on the overall ranking this week. How will this play out?
The star on the top of the tree this week is.....

Your song had just this air and essence about it that I really vibed with. I really want to look into this artist more because if all their songs are on this wavelength I think I might really dig their music. I will say though, this was my second favorite song of the week.
Yes, thats correct! Jaxon had my #1 spot when ranking them, but once the gift of punishment was factored in his song ended up placing #3 this week!
Onto the naughty list! 📜
The four people at the bottom of the naughty list this episode are....
I feel like the late introduction into the competition was a real hindrance on your overall placement. There isn't as much to go on when looking at who I feel has the most overall potential in this game. I do appreciate your addition you wanting to play the game even though you know you had missed the first two rounds. I hope you find all the presents you wrote on your list underneath the tree this year!
The second person being eliminated I was super conflicted on...... The remaining three have all won at least one round so far in this competition so you all showed potential to be the star at the top of the tree...
Going back and looking over each of your song choices, the person I felt like who has showed their maximum potential already and I've decided to send home is....

This elimination was a heartbreaker no matter who I sent home. You've had some really good songs, and some songs I feel like I didn't care for at all. I'll always thank you for adding the presence of Cascada to this competition and hope that you get the chance to spread your own kind of joy to the world!
Everyone else, congratulations on making it to the 6th day of Christmas and I'll see you soon!
