01) Alexandra Stan & INNA - it's still boring after one listen
02) Moranbong Band - I usually stan one ironic entry per contest but I mean this was an iconic selection
03) King No-One - how did this get 2nd? I'm so underwhelmed
04) ROSALIA - what?
05) Weki Meki - wait how did this get 21st lmao it's hilarious! Tsc missed out
06) Kelli-Leigh - great voice but it's a B song. Nothing it does goes hard enough to get an A :( except for maybe the "then he says" part. That kinda slays
07) Indiana Massara - maybe a little too basic for me. Not getting anything I didn't hear round 1
08) Oh Wonder - remembers when I heard this at first and thought it wasn't worth submitting to TSC. I still agree, but I've grown to like it. Like you can't deny it's its own entry.
09) Ailee - oh the bops are on their way
10) Alesha Dixon - this song gives me nothing and feels like a 1x listen song, so good on it for getting 2nd place
11) Jessie Ware - I'll always stan this mellow bop
12) Stray Kids - NO!
13) Echosmith - it's pretty good but I don't think it fits in the best of category? Maybe it'll get points from me tho bc some people did NOT bring it this semi
14) Afrojack x Jewelz & Sparks - sorry just a lil boring
15) The Unlikely Candidates - honestly one of the best songs of the year. Shocked I said that!
16) gugudan - it's fun but meh
17) Normani - obviously robbed
18) At The Sun - I forgot that this existed… I'm better off before
19) 5 Seconds of Summer - still great but not as great as before
20) Indila - nah
21) Conan Gray - still cute and good-ish. Why are the songs he's releasing after this not nearly as good lol. Wait that theater in the music video is right near my old apartment lol who knew
22) Lindsey Stirling - this is just so unflattering I'm not into it
23) Duncan Laurence - sure if I have to give points to a man to not make me seem senile I might pick this. But it's just so average
24) EVERGLOW - def my pick to win this and tbh it deserves it
25) Welshly Arms - it's interesting but nah
26) Alice Chater - wasn't shocked this won but I remember not loving this.
27) Kesha - QUEEN! One of her best singles yet
28) Naika - Wish I gave this more of a chance initially. It's actually really good.
29) Charlotte Lawrence - TBT to when I tried submitting this but I was too late because r*ck I believe was a bad host idk. It's good, duh
30) SYML - congrats on this somehow getting top 10 originally but not for me sorry
31) Mitski - wow can this contest end already :\ this low energy was not something I needed on song #31
32) PVRIS - aaaaaalright and we're done! Boring song sorry

01) Alexandra Stan & INNA - Still feel like I should like this more considering the quality of both artists. Doesn't completely come together for me -- think the chorus lacks.
02) Moranbong Band - "Kim Jong-Un, I have no idea who he is. To be so powerful, he MUST have done seomething right." - Khadija Kalifa, The Apprentice UK Season 14.
03) King No-One - Not exactly in my taste range, but still think it's good for what it is.
04) ROSALIA - Hit or miss Queen of Flamenco with a miss here.
05) Weki Meki - There's some heavy hitter k-pop songs in this semi that I don't think this has any chance against (and for good reason). It's fine, but I was correct with my original comment for it -- I haven't come back to it and likely won't again. :/
06) Kelli-Leigh - Oh bitch, THIS bop. If I had sat on my rankings for a few weeks, this would have been higher than it was. So good.
07) Indiana Massara - I'll be honest, despite listening to the songs I ranked quite a bit, I did not remember this song at all until the chorus (while having it ranked). I like it, but a bit less memorable to me than the heavy hitters here.
08) Oh Wonder - Super cute that grew on me more since its original contest. I like the structure of it.
09) Ailee - 1/3rd of  the TSC 2019 k-pop Holy Trinity. Go merry go round.
10) Alesha Dixon - Mom really didn't need to go off like that, but she did.
11) Jessie Ware - "This neo-noir masterpiece is definitely racking up some adoration from me! Phe-nomenal. Her voice is beautiful." - PoohSnap, 2019.
12) Stray Kids - This song is krakt in (almost) all of the right ways. Bipolar anthem.
13) Echosmith - Still think it could use a little more punch, but it's a solid track. Catchier than I remembered it being.
14) Afrojack x Jewelz & Sparks - What it lacks in punch, it more than makes up for that with how smooth and easy of a listen it is. It all flows so well, is incredibly chill, and feels almost effortless.
15) The Unlikely Candidates - Best male rock entry I can think of from my time in TSC off the top of my head. Seriously.
16) gugudan - Now the second member of the TSC 2019 k-pop Holy Trinity to appear. I am that type.
17) Normani - You already know I love this. Do your thing, girl.
18) At The Sun - Love you bibbs, but totally not my thing whatsoever.
19) 5 Seconds of Summer - Who gave this chorus permission to be so good?
20) Indila - "This is so fucking French!" - Me, an intellectual. So quirky and good.
21) Conan Gray - Well rounded song with a nice vibe. Always an easy listen.
22) Lindsey Stirling - Was a little higher on it during ranking than I am on it now, but it's still good.
23) Duncan Laurence - Continues to grow on me despite being something I've been high on for a hot minute. NEED MORE DUNCAN IN 2020.
24) EVERGLOW - The final leg of the TSC 2019 k-pop Holy Trinity and the most important to me (obviously I'm not including Sunmi because she's not getting RESPECT).
25) Welshly Arms - How long has it been since TSC ended? That's the last time I heard a song like this. I miss that. It's fine, but I'm so over the sound.
26) Alice Chater - I almost completely blanked this in its original contest, and it feels pretty right. Think it's the only Alice song from TSC this year that I didn't shortlist? It's not bad, just doesn't fully get there for me.
27) Kesha - Kesha having fun is the best Kesha and Big Freedia does the damn thing.
28) Naika - Spreads like buttah. One of the most chill, smoothest, effortless yet effective bops of this TSC season.
29) Charlotte Lawrence - Coo' shit. This semi is more stacked than I anticipated in terms of quality all around.
30) SYML - Maintain that it's better than most indie rock that is sent here, but such a stacked contest that it really doesn't stand much of a chance with me.
31) Mitski - I get the appeal (I think), it's just not my cup of tea.
32) PVRIS - Sometimes you just have to save the best for last, right?

01) Alexandra Stan & INNA – The beat is jamming and why do I enjoy this one as even I don’t get it but damn it does make me wanna dance.
02) Moranbong Band – Yeah I’m not laughing, and it is a song you find from the 1970’s and not one of the good ones as their voices make me shiver.
03) King No-One – They are alright at best, but my biggest problem was how dull it was to get through it as they don’t bring any spark.
04) ROSALIA – I may sound crazy, but I think I like this one as she got a nice voice and the beat is not bad and this is a hidden gem.
05) Weki Meki – I sure am picky with this song as I don’t like that beat and their voices don’t work well with too many changes in this beat.
06) Kelli-Leigh – She got a good voice and I do like it, but I think the music could use some updating sounding to much like a computer.
07) Indiana Massara – Oh god now this was a real chore to get through as her voice just is so bland and there was no value from this.
08) Oh Wonder – I find the lack of music to be disturbing and this didn’t get me as much and I think using better music here in the chorus could have helped it
09) Ailee – She is turning everything up and I am here for it as she took control and boy, I like someone who brings something different.
10) Alesha Dixon – Yes, I am digging this funky tune as she still got it and I was bopping along to her voice and it was all so slick and good.
11) Jessie Ware – I don’t know what to feel about this as I have no opinion towards it being as bland as a rice cake and that is saying something.
12) Stray Kids – Oh god here comes my worst fear as their music is too dang loud and will they ever stop shouting and how is this music.
13) Echosmith – This is over my head as that chorus is going to drive me insane while watching it and I do wish it could back down sometimes.
14) Afrojack x Jewelz & Sparks – The music is not good, and the singing could use some improvement being not enough in some moments.
15) The Unlikely Candidates – I am bopping my head up and down to this awesome sounding song and I like it when someone gets me grooving.
16) gugudan – Now this is my jam as I am rolling in this strange beat and their voices together sound so good and I’m glad I listened to this.
17) Normani – Well I do feel like she is underrated as that voice is something to die for and I am a grower of this song which really helps her to shine.
18) At The Sun – Is it over yet because I am frankly bored to death as that rock sound just isn’t exciting and it just fizzled out.
19) 5 Seconds of Summer – I can see the charm of this as the chorus goes out there and is so energetic and so modern and I love it.
20) Indila – The French Queen is here to slay with this masterpiece of a song that got me humming all the time and it is an outstanding bop.
21) Conan Gray – The music can be tiresome to listen to, but his voice does make this song redeemable in my eyes as he has a great voice.
22) Lindsey Stirling – I am loving this singer as she is bringing so much value in this one song, but the music is a major downfall as the chorus is so generic.
23) Duncan Laurence – Yeah, I’m not feeling it as he didn’t bring the best out of this with that bored voice and I don’t like it.
24) EVERGLOW – Their singing is good, but the music is a massive train wreck as it was a mess and I wish these girls got a better song than this.
25) Welshly Arms – You sir are bringing an anthem to my doorstep as this kill with his voice and that banging beat being legendary.
26) Alice Chater – She is of something else as I like that vocal and this song was alright with the music, but she brings that energy.
27) Kesha – I feel so bad for her to have sung this horrid song that is a sure embarrassment to hear with that chorus being a nightmare to get through.
28) Naika – The beat is what keeps me bringing back to this song and I do wish she put more energy into her vocals to make it that song.
29) Charlotte Lawrence – I don’t get this song as the lack of music and that weird voice doesn’t really dig me and it is more of an annoyance than music to me.
30) SYML – He got a voice that got my heart racing as a smile is back on my face as it brings the bang and got me fired up for more.
31) Mitski – I find the mixture of her vocals and the music to be weird as they don’t fit at all like I’m watching 2 different songs trying to fuse together.
32) PVRIS – This was an interesting choice and I have to think if I do like it and guess what I don’t haha and that loud music was awful, and this was rubbish.
