02) Rina Sawayama - Down the subway, you looked my way. With your girl gaze, with your girl gaze. QUEER LEGEND. Didn't put this on my list, as I felt pretty certain that it wouldn't do too well here, but -I- like it. Hope it does well here and proves me wrong.

02) Idk... this was also kinda whatever. There was definitely something there but also couldn't help but feel that there could've been more. It was okaaay.

03) Hey, Felix? :) Anyway she's another imo overhyped by this group, ESCT reject. It is very standardish. Pre-chorus is fine and quite catchy but the chorus is very cheap and just a big no. Verses kind of drag.
04) Erika Jayne - So proud of her having SEVERAL GAY FRIENDS. The first time around, I was going to say that I wish this had a stronger chorus, but the second time around I realized I wasn't really into it as a whole. Has the aesthetic of something I could be into, but didn't really deliver for me.
04) This is one of the kind of atroucious songs I wish I didn't have to ever listen. Only TSC forces me to do so. The title of this track is also sooooo ironic, considering the song is super CHEAP. I chocked when I realized this has over 21M views.

05) LMAO I stanned this track when it first came out. BOP. Aged kind of bad, if we're being honest. It sounds like a track from 2013-15, even though it came out in 2016, but it's still a fun and catchy bop - aged or not. MOVE YO BODY !!! There's a video that exists btw to whoever submitted this.
