NOTE: the top 15 will qualify to the final.

01) Chloe x Halle - Good song, it made my best of list and it's one of the better entries for this week though many seem to love this track way more than I do....lol

02) push baby - Well it's my entry so ..duh of course I like it.

03) Victoria Justice - I'm not girly enough to see the appeal to this

04) Manal - I remember this entry...thought it would grow on me but it only became a chore to listen to

05) Olivia Dean - It made my best of list so.......

06) ORI - First time hearing this I think...either I didn't qualify in the opposite semi and thus didn't do finals or it was forgettable...his voice is fine but the music is all over the place and didn't real me in.

07) DOLLA - If I was more into the genre I'd probably like it a lot more but I only add like 1 out of 100 I here of this particular genre to my player, with that said there's plenty of songs I straight up don't like this week and I have nothing negative to say about this one so it'll likely get points but it's not like I'll be rooting for it to do well.

08) Jumpa, VVAVES - It's fine but not nearly as good as VVAVES other song from this year

09) Bree Runway, Yung Baby Tate - I like Bree but never got into this one ....she has much better

10) Karmen x BRUJA - It's good but I'm not always in the mood for it

11) Why Don't We - It's not bad but I'm only 755 sold on it

In my comments I’ve mentioned how many points I gave the song in its original contest.

1. Chloe x Halle (12 points in 405) - A silky smooth expensive R&B track that would’ve been a very worthy winner to TSC 405.
2. Push baby (0 points in 410) - This is a good, quirky song with interesting lyrical themes about young adulthood. It’s perhaps too similar to PANIC! and twenty one pilots, but I enjoyed it nevertheless.
3. Victoria Justice (0 points in 422) - This probably should have been a  hit back in 2013. It’s a catchy bubblegum pop song by a good vocalist, even though it’s juvenile.
4. Manal (0 points in 415) - This is fine, but besides the repetition of 'blach' and cool production, there is little to hold on to.
5. Olivia Dean (12 points in 410) - An excellently crafted retro pop track with soul and mature lyricism. This is simply gorgeous.
6. ORI (6 points in 422) - Good debut indie-pop song with a catchy chorus. The vocals and production are both good, but they don't blend together perfectly at times.
7. DOLLA (0 points in 420) - There is definitely self-confidence here, but the loud production can become overbearing.
8. Jumpa, VVAVES (6 points in 402) - This track has a very similar structure to 'Wasabi’. This is catchy, but can get a bit repetitive and I’m not sold on the lyrics.
9. Bree Runway (0 points in 405) - Not sure why I’ve been sleeping on Bree all year, but this is even stronger than her SF1 track. A very fun 90s influenced hip-hop song, with a smooth pop outro also.
10. Karmen x BRUJA (0 points in 422) - My opinion on this one changes quite a lot. With a unique bounce drop, this song is an acquired taste, but it has similar cool aspects to those in ‘Raising Hell’ and I’m really feeling this today.
11. Why Don’t We (Unofficial, 0 points in 417) - I’m a huge Kanye West fan and Black Skinhead is one of my favourites by him so its difficult for me to hear this sample in a pop-rock track that lacks the same impact as the original.
12. Aly & AJ (0 points in 403) - Sounding like it legitimately could have been a classic in the 80s, this song has grown on me since its original contest.
13. Aluna (3 points in 410) - This is a catchy dance-pop song, even though it’s quite simple.
14. Mondo Grosso (0 points in 421) - I’m glad this was resubmitted because I wanted to give this track another chance anyway. After a few re-listens, this is a good ambient dance track with a transcendent quality.
15. Victoria Monet - Despite not being my highest placing song, this was one of my favourite tracks of 2020 and I believe it deserves its place in the finale. This is stunningly crafted disco that I do believe could become a sleeper hit at some point.
16. beabadoobee (5 points in 418) - I like the dream-pop meets grunge feel this has, it feels like a 90s throwback.
17. The Chainsmokers (12 points in 415) - A great funk-influenced dance track with a killer bassline that never loses energy. One of my most played tracks of 2020, and easily the slickest production The Chainsmokers have offered to date.
18. Millie B (0 points in 410) - This really is hilarious and lowkey has surprisingly good bars despite the cheap execution.
19. Tayla Parx (0 points in 415) - This song has lush retro production and Tayla is clearly a good vocalist but there is a disconnect for me which I probably put down to lacking originality.
20. LEON (7 points in 405) - In my opinion, one of the best winners of TSC 2020. This song sounds like the depressing sister of Symphony. This gorgeous track is rooted in so much real and intense emotion.
21. KAYTRANADA (Unofficial, 12 points in 417) - It’s unfortunate that the only reason this lost TSC 417 was because I accidentally took a nap that day before submitting my official scores. This is a good track, with strong funk and disco influences in the production and Tinashe sounding as slick as ever.
22. Neoni (0 points in 402) - Sounding like it was designed for a Netflix original, this is too melodramatic and forced for me.
23. CupcakKe (2 points in 422) - This deserved better in TSC 422. It has good bars and its packed with attitude.
24. Thelma Plum (6 points in 418) - I’m still so glad Lachie won with this track because its very authentic to his retro indie music taste, but it was also accessible enough to appeal to the wider TSC group. I really do think this is excellent and it has grown on me even more since it won. Great lyrics and clear Fleetwood Mac style of influence which I love. Definitely rooting for this one.
25. Evangelia (0 points in 419) - This song has seductive vocals and ethnic instrumentation and I should’ve given it more credit in TSC 419. Perhaps its perhaps too minimalistic overall, but its good.
26. Vanessa Quai (0 points in 402) - This coming back basically every TSC is hilarious. As for the track itself, it’s still a nice sentiment but the track feels never ending.
27. Rina Sawayama (12 points in 402) - Such an excellent fusion of genres and styles. XS is a wild journey while also remaining accessible and catchy.
28. Dagny (1 point in 402) - The biggest crime this song commits is that it lacks originality when comparing with her past songs, but its still a pleasant synth-pop song nevertheless.
29. HUGEL (0 points in 409) - The female voice in this track is as excruciating as the one in ‘#SELFIE’.
30. Alanis Morisette (0 points in 406) - Powerful pop track about alcoholism which is delivered greatly by Alanis vocally. It’s instrumentation is good and punchy, although not hugely distinctive.
31. Red Hearse (12 points in 421) - This was such a great winner and was very deserving. Yet another excellently produced track by Antonoff. Silky smooth indie-pop track.
32. BANKS (8 points in 405) - One of BANKS’ stronger tracks to date for me. This is both experimental and emotional, with dark lyrics and greatly crafted sound effects.
33. Chescar (4 points in 414) - Despite being quite trashy, this is an enjoyable pop track with attitude. Good closer.

1. I like them but this song doesn't do it for me
2. Very Panic at the disco. I dig it
3. Never thought I would stan a Victoria Justice song. Yet here we are
4. Kind of passed me by and left no impact
5. Very chill sound
6. Bop! I was vibing along to this
7. The beat drop is kind of lit
8. "5 of your exes" outsold
9. This is better than her semi 1 song. Bop!
10. I remember liking this because she name drops Yoko Ono
11. Very catchy. I was vibing along to this
12. Such a bop! This gives me so much life!
13. Really digging her solo material. Bop!
14. Feel like I need a few listens to fully appreciate this
15. Sounds like background music while you are in H&M
16. Has a 90s feel to it. I dig it
17. Didn't we suffer enough in semi 1?
18. Do people who call this "M to the B" deserve rights? Ew at all the basic people doing basic ass dance moves and thinking they are hot shit. This version loses all meme appeal. If the "Soph Aspin Send" original had been sent in I probably would have given it high points but fuck this version!
19. Grew on me as it went along
20. It's alright. Doesn't really stand out all
21. Better than I remember it being
22. It's very dramatic! I dig it
23. Grown on me since its contest. Cupcakke does pop off in this!
24. It was fine
25. Very catchy
26. SeaViper introduced a LEGEND to TSC. The fact this qualified over TSC favourites will always send me! She is a queen and the song is a bop and I want to see a lot more of her in 2021! Also her wikipedia page is ICONIC! We stan the Vanessa Quai song contest
27. Out of her 600 entries in 2020 this is clearly her best!
28. It's cute and kind of catchy
29. Such a trashy bop! I love it!
30. Queen! Obviously I am rooting for this (and it is my only chance of qualifying since I entered HVC for the lolz)
31. Never liked this. No idea how it won
32. She is very hit or miss. Not really feeling this one at the moment
33. This is really not my cup of tea

15) Victoria Monet, Khalid, SG Lewis - She just doesn't have a voice that appeals to me, I want to like this but I still don't

16) beabadoobee - I'm a fan of the genre but fail to get hooked on this song

17) The Chainsmokers - It's the Chainsmokers....do I need to say more?

18) Millie B - It's OK but not among my favorites

19) Tayla Parx - This made my best of so.................

20) LÉON - I've only pointed 1 LEON to date I believe and this wasn't it

21) KAYTRANADA - Tinashe falls in the dame category as Ariana and Mariah thus I can't for the life of me hear the talent.....obviously it's there thus their fanbases but I just don't hear it.

22) Unsecret x Neoni - Feels like TV soundtrack music where when heard in parts it's like omg what song is this I must find  it but when heard in full your left disappointed

23) CupcakKe - It made my best of so...............

24) Thelma Plum - it's fine , just not a favorite of mine

25) Evangelia - I like the production more than her singing which is tolerable but not superb

26) Vanessa Quai - this qualified over my entry that week...it still sucks

27) Rina Sawayama - not a fan of the production...I've yet to find a song of hers that hooks me

28) Dagny - I love her voice but her productions of this Dagny era aren't for me, I much prefer her earlier work when she gave me Avril gone full pop vibes

29) HUGEL - This type of song never ages good

30) Alanis Morissette - made my best of list so..........

31) Red Hearse - Great production and I get the appeal but he sounds like Prince whom I could never tolerate.....

32) BANKS - This would be on my worst of list if I don't put any of the troll songs on it, really don't understand the appeal

33) Chesca, Jon Z - It's not perfect but I remember it and still like it, not a favorite but no complaints.

01) Chloe x Halle: iconic, should have won its contest. robbed queens
02) push baby: this is fine, is it best of the TSC? nope. but like its okay
03) Victoria Justice: this was trash the first time i listened to it and it is trash now.
04) Manal: i don’t like it, her voice is grating
05) Olivia Dean: she has a very pretty voice, the song is pretty good but it is a lil boring . very sultry
06) ORI: i don’t like it , so boring
07) DOLLA: nope
08) Jumpa, VVAVES: this song was better than some of these other choices, but i do not think it is a best of a tSC song, however we shall see if it gets points. it has a nice beat
09) Bree Runway, Yung Baby Tate: Bree is so hot . This is a good choice, i like the song
10) Karmen x BRUJA: i love the dance breaks in this song. overall it fine, but better than some of the other choices
11) Why Don't We: i hate these homosexuals
12) Aly & AJ; the SYNTH dance breaks, i live
13) Aluna: i used to stan this song, but my enemy always posts about how she likes this song, so i now hate it. sorry
14) Mondo Grosso: MONDO, i still like this song, its groovy and the music video is gorgeous 
15) Victoria Monet, Khalid, SG Lewis: i used to be addicted to this song, victoria monet only produces HITS and sg lewis is a legend
16) beabadoobee: I am bored of her ass
17) The Chainsmokers: i cannot support the chainsmokers I’m sorry
18) Millie B; legend.
19) Tayla Parx: this is coooool. the vibe is there. wow
20) LÉON: this is a good song, i can see why it won
21) KAYTRANADA: this song is slick. tinashe is slick. I’m surprised it didnt win
22) Unsecret x Neoni: im bored
23) CupcakKe: not into it
24) Thelma Plum: i did not think this should have won, I’m sorry.but the song is good. i just don’t think its the best
25) Evangelia:legendary song, one of my favorites definitely
26) Vanessa Quai: lmao
27) Rina Sawayama: think this is the coolest song from her new album, idk why but it reminds me of kim possible
28) Dagny: i think i like this song. no yes i do, its cool. its a vibe, i like the synths.
29) HUGEL: this is boring
30) Alanis Morissette: okay alines is still making bops?
31) Red Hearse: okay I was a legend for this, and its not even their best song . st vincent is sexy tho
32) BANKS: this song is sick i really like it
33) Chesca, Jon Z: not into it I’m sorry

01) Chloe x Halle - I just don’t care about their music and I never have. Oh whale.
02) push baby - what kind of 21 pilots knock-off. I really have to be in the right mood for something like this, alas.
03) Victoria Justice - what the fuck lol how did this get 4th?
04) Manal - Oh this bitch again, I have the same comment I had for semi 1, the lyrics are annoying but the beat is not horrible. Not good enough for points probably though.
05) Olivia Dean - It’s a bit of a snooze ain’t it.
06) ORI - What the actual fuck happened in TSC 422? This is so fucking cheap and uninspired how in the WORLD did it get 2nd? Also this guy is way too ugly to have his shirt off in a video, get outta here.
07) DOLLA - Probably the only song so far that hasn’t been a complete nuisance. It’s alright, a bit on the cheap side but I’m about to sing praises for some other entries that are much cheaper so who really cares.
08) Jumpa, VVAVES - A right slapper. I think this was 30th or something on my year-end countdown? Hopefully it qualifies, I wanna give it the high points it deserves.
09) Bree Runway, Yung Baby Tate - I know every single word to this song, it’s so fucking good. It was my #2 song of the year and it’s easily going to get top marks here for me. I hate that I’m gonna have to choose between this and Yaseniya in the finals but that’s a decision for another day. Bree Runway fucking snapped.
10) Karmen x BRUJA - Alright so Victoria Justice got 4th, that other nonsense f***** got 2nd and THIS got 3rd? I just really have no words. This is definitely the best of the 3 entries but it’s a bit of a mess. I think I’m into it though.
11) Why Don't We - Oh Johnny made me listen to this and it’s really not bad, truly, I just wish it went harder. I can’t help but feel like 5SOS would have done this exact thing better lol...
12) Aly & AJ - This was 38th I think for 2020? Yeah it’s a great song.
13) Aluna - I was really into this, I wasn’t sure about the cowbell in the back. It was a bit distracting but I think overall I really like the package. Good entry.
14) Mondo Grosso - It didn’t really do it for me I’m afraid.
15) Victoria Monet, Khalid, SG Lewis - Oh I definitely remember this. I think I liked it? It’s good enough, not a standout but a serviceable effort.
16) beabadoobee - I really can’t be bothered with any of this.
17) The Chainsmokers - This was like #39 back in 2018 why was it submitted here exactly? What an outdated song that I just don’t care for anymore.
18) Millie B - Tolis, Sashay Away.
19) Tayla Parx - So obviously in a “Best Of” contest, I’m going to be biased towards songs I’Ve already heard and liked and those will score really high. That said, this fucking slapped and I’m sure if I heard it in it’s original contest, it’d have made my 2020 list honestly? This was a bop, idk what my points will look for this but I was into it.
20) LÉON - I just can’t be bothered with LÉON anymore, it all sounds the same and it’s always just kinda safe pop that ends up winning TSC, I don’t know why but it does. Anyways, moving ON.
21) KAYTRANADA - I was told Patrick submitted Touché by VKTM and Misha Miller and I’m disappointed that this isn’t that. This was kinda repetitive, wasn’t really into it tbh.
22) Unsecret x Neoni - OH I LOVE THIS SONG I TOTALLY FORGOT ABOUT THIS. This was in HTGAWM in the one episode of that season I watched, fantastic entry.
23) CupcakKe - Honestly, this was better than whatever the fuck got 2nd and 4th in 422 so y’know. Anyways I don’t know that Cupcakke can win Best Of two years in a row, I’d stan but it’s not good enough so lol.
24) Thelma Plum - I think I got the lyrics here and it sounds touching but also I was bored by the song itself so like it ends up being bad for me because I actually don’t give a fuck about lyrics, ever.
25) Evangelia - Didn’t hate this, it was kinda a vibe and while it could have been better, I was satisfied.
26) Vanessa Quai - Probably the only troll entry I can “Appreciate”, the song is still trash though.
27) Rina Sawayama - 14th on my 2020 countdown, I kinda hate that I used to be edgy and hated this for no reason, it’s a really good pop song.
28) Dagny - I know I listened to this, but I can’t remember a single thing about it because it’s just so unremarkable. Bleh.
29) HUGEL - I could have gone for “Not My Baby” by Inna but this song slaps so hard it deserved another showing. HUGEL was robbed early in the year but has achieved redemption now.
30) Alanis Morissette - It’s not bad but I think there’s 12 songs I like better in this line-up, soz.
31) Red Hearse - Oh this is fucking grating goodbye.
32) BANKS - I’m ready for this to be over now, BANKS is just not for me, at all.
33) Chesca, Jon Z - Probably the best spanish song of both semis? I don’t care for the man but it doesn’t ruin the whole thing, it makes it lose points sure, but it’s still decent.

Chloe x Halle: Not their best. Not by a long shot

Push baby: Cool sounding rock song

Victoria Justice: She should have won her original contest

Manal: I was bored

Olivia Dean: This is a serve

ORI: Didn't like it 422. Don't like it now

Dolla: Horrible in every sense of the word

Jumpa, VVAVES: Oooh now this has a very interesting sound to it

Bree Runway, Yung baby tate: I couldn't stop thinking of that unfunny meme from 2016. Ellen is so cringe

Karmen x bruja: Another song from 422 that I did not like

Why Don't We: Basic boyband cringe

Aly & AJ: Heard this before. It's a very good song

Aluna: Very different to her old stuff

Mondo Grosso: Qualified over me. Don't know why

Victoria Monet, Khalid, SG Lewis: It was fine

beabadoobee: How boring and plain

The Chainsmokers: They still make music?

Millie B:

Tayla Parx: oooh now this one is a really good song. I like it

Leon: This won apparently

Kaytranda: Tinashe is overrated

Unsecret x Neoni: Trying too hard

Cupcakke: The best song here

Thelma Plum: I agree. I look better in black. It is very slimming

Evangelia: meh

Vanessa Quai: I like the tropical sound

Rina Sawayama: I have warmed up to her. This is good

Dagny: Now this is a serve. I can shake my booty to this

Hugel: She just says ass and titties over and over again

Alanis Morisette: Miss Alanis is still making serves huh?

Red Hearse: Oh the song where he is trying to hit dog whistle notes. This won??

Banks: Trying soooo hard to be edgy

Chesca, Jon Z: Both of them compliment each other very well
