01) AURORA - this is an edgy choice but I can't deny a good song when I hear it. unlike queers & queers this is a good song from an obvious tsc artist. it is very me! though it's kinda a similar situation to leon last week, i would be VERY bored to see her win. like i would fall asleep probably. however I wouldn't be shocked to see her win. we'll see i guess.
02) Tauren Wells - gods not done with tsc this week because we let this qualify.. rlly? this song was literally in between the two best songs of semi 2 (cheer chen & animal crossing) and it beat BOTH of them out? make it make sense! it was very unremarkable.
03) RoseeLu - there were some enjoyable elements. the verses were better imo, her voice slayed at parts. yet this is very middle of the road when you look at the bigger picture. we've heard this kind of tsc in a lot.. like a LOT. so i'm not particularly moved by this at all, as i said, MOTR.
04) Zach Matari - one of the most 'style over substance' entries i've heard recently in tsc. this was so irritating honestly, his voice was actually off putting esp. in the chorus. it was just really bad lol
05) Shura - MOTHER. i love her. i did have another song of hers on my spotify, i never wouldve sent it but i wouldve sent this if i knew about it most likely! I really liked this it was very m1chelle bait actually. In a way it reminded me of when i sent michi. and well that's an automatic slay for me. I loved this so much!
06) Concrete Castles - i mean, it was decent. i have heard this song done in a million different ways before so like i'm not really gagging but it's an alright song.
07) Ashe - save myself was SO good but it's kinda sad that her music aged like milk. well this is the only other song that i've heard from her so that's what i'm basing it off of. that kind of chorus has always irritated me in songs tbh. it was low tier MOTR i was not a fan.
08) good job nicky - who told nicky he did a good job w this? i'd like to know. this is like the worst song in the ESCT final in my opinion, and the fact that it's being overrated here makes me dislike it more cuz i'm not seeing the amazing stunning beautiful song that y'all are seeing. if this wins this would be the worst tsc ever easily.
09) MARINA - purge the poison is SO MUCH BETTER! why was she sent this week of all weeks when her new song was just released. i mean this is still good, I love her and I think people are being edgy when they drag her. yeah i mean i can't act like I dont like it for the lolz I do really like it, i just love her new song way more and that wouldve been a 12.
10) BewhY - congrats on winning! anyway this is good, I feel like it would be hard not to enjoy it like i do see this appealing to most people in tsc. I'm not gonna act like it's my favourite song of the final either like I'm not crazy about rap even if this is a great execution of it.
11) Naomi Lareine - serve! this has many elements that i love in a song so i'm here for this fully. something about it is stopping me from like STANNING to the extreme but i did rlly appreciate this. a fun funky song
12) Jennifer Lopez - this semi it was in defo needed this trashy energy. so i'll give miss lopez that! the song is quite horrid though i must admit.. like it was funny the first time around but this is also QUITE irritating as a song.
13) Millie Turner - i feel like this was begging for me to enjoy this because it has elements i usually enjoy in songs but this was just far too erratic in a way that i don't like. far too much going on production wise in the chorus plus her voice on top of that just makes it sound messy. not 4 me!
14) Waterparks - imagine attempting rock when san mei ended rock music once and for all last week w the best rock-ish song ever.. she ate them up so hard. this was very irritating and well thats what straight men do best so at least they succeeded w SOMETHING.
15) ABIR - controversial opinion: this is the best abir entry sent to tsc so far. like everyone will disagree but IDGAF it's better than both young& rude and yallah. I've been replaying this throughout the week simply because its a bop. I like the arrangement a lot and her voice served so yeah she did what she needed to do.
16) Olya Polyakova - this song is genuinely so much worse than her esct entry. why would u even send this it's not clicking with me personally. the fact i know her other songs slays so much puts me off this MOTR attempt. i respect that she tried but it just wasn't enough.
17) Naïka - this song is very strange to me, infact it's not much of a SONG..? it feels like a demo or something. the sauce part actually did grow on me though i just don't like the rest of it that much. it is a very generic arrangement and i was not left gagging unfortunately.
18) Munn - yt man trying it yet again.. this wasn't good at all. i hate this folky man shite i don't even know how else to describe it. i can hear u but i'd love it if i couldn't. *MUTE*
19) Cherry Bullet - THIS IS THE MAIN EVENT.. can you say legendaric? this queens are so so good they literally ate this song up so hard. the production is bubbly yet it goes so hard in the best way. it like goes hard in a lowkey way especially in the chorus. also when it broke into that final chorus? GOLD. i don't know a better song I truly don't. slayed every single song in this horrific final.
20) LØLØ - white woman name in caps but make it edgy. this song is very angsty edgy teen girl rock shite that I have PROGRESSED passed the need for. I did not get one ounce of enjoyment from this. it was awful.
21) Kito, VanJess, Channel Tres - VANJESS MOMMIES! i'm so glad they're back. I would probably have preferred their song "caught up" but i'm not really complaining this is still a bop n a half! this would have done so well in late 2020 i feel. the slice's n kinggeek's of tsc would've eaten this up and i would've liked to see it. anyways those icons r gone so i guess this will be robbed but i'm personally here for it.
22) Reiley - onto the f word of the hour. i went from hating this song to stanning it ironically to liking it unironically to finding it irritating to slightly enjoying it again and then BACK to finding it irritating all in one week. i just can't forgive that chorus drop it's genuinely SO irritating. but there are remnants of a good song here somewhere.
