01) Everglow - TOOT - Usually not a fan kpop and definitely not when they rap, but this actually flowed well. Not out of this world, but a solid, good start to best-of.
02) sød ven - TOOT - This is so smooth and relaxing, while still kinda being hypnotic. I'm definitely drawn to it. It's so soothing!
03) Pace - BOOT - Meh...I just wasn't a fan of the voice. It's not one I'd listen to. Kind of annoying. Also it sounds like 483832 other different voices I've heard. Unoriginal and whiny-sounding honestly. I was bored.
04) Halo Kitsch - BOOT - Not bad, but extremely basic. I was hoping that it'd pop, but it stayed boring. It's best-of, so I'm gonna judge harsher obviously.
05) YOUHA - BOOT - Couldn't get behind the voice. Sounds too digitally edited and kinda sounds kidz bop-like. It had a fun beat and flow, so if the voice felt a bit more natural, it probably would've been a toot. Sad. It got better near the end, but not enough to escape the boot.
06) Ayla D'Lyla, Miss Madeline - TOOT - Still a bop, I was jamming, bopping, locking, etcetera. This is such a jam and instantly makes me feel like a bad bitch listening to it!
07) Alina Pash - TOOT - Lol!?!?!? This is so bizarre, but it somehow works? This is such a weird song, but I'm entranced by it! Shook!
08) Brave Girls - BOOT - There's a good reason why this song got 29th in it's original contest. Talk about basic and uninspired.
09) Fulminacci - TOOT - This was catchy, I really enjoyed it. It didn't, like, rock my world, but it had my head bopping the entire time. Good song.
10) Trisha Paytas - BOOT - Anyway...next.
11) AWA - TOOT - It was a tad basic, but, like....I'm a sucker for this type of music. It's so vibey and catchy, I was living! A bop!!!
12) Dr. Peacock - BOOT - There's a reason why this song didn't crack top 10. Honestly shouldn't have even cracked qualifying for the week. I'd take Trisha over this, holy fuck...
13) Majid Jordan - TOOT - This flowed so well omg. Like I actually really REALLY liked this. This sounds like it could definitely be on the radio and it's right up my alley so I really enjoyed this...............is what I would say if I just listened to the verses. The chorus is kinda bad, but it squeaks out a light toot.
14) RAYE - BOOT - I'm sick of this overrated hag. TSC keeps trying to make her a thing and she never will be a thing. The scary thing is I've heard her a little bit on the radio and I swear if the mainstream tries to make her a thing........ew.
15) Lil Mariko - SHOOT - This is camp! This is.....IMMACULATE! I'm on the ground convulsing from the power this song has, holy shit! This is a cultural reset, and no one's truly ready for this. I'm soooooooooooo into this!
16) Odette - BOOT - Example
#78349 of missIMOGEN (queen btw) having an entry that sounds like they're trying to be edgy, but being edgy and trying to be edgy are two different things. I yawned.
17) STAYC - TOOT - Honestly...I bopped. I had another comment for this, but I just finished and was about to post my comments before I saw that Steven isn't submitting comments this week so...I'm devastated that this is gonna probably get disqualified cause this is, like, one of the better kpop songs I've ever heard in TSC. Devastating.
18) Sandy Lam - TOOT - Honestly, I'm here for some cantopop! This was ethereal and I was loving every second of it! A vibey bop!
19) Kali Mutsa - BOOT - Sorry Alexeh, but I felt nothing when listening to this. On a normal week, it'd be a noot, but since it's best of....boot. Too much happened, but nothing that impacted me.
20) Omer Adam - BOOT - This sounds like a parody of this genre. Not only does that mean this sounded bad, but it also sounded extremely basic.
21) ENHYPEN - BOOT - Kpop already rarely works for me, but if it does work, 9/10 times it's a female kpop star or female kpop group. I don't know...the men just almost always fail me. I was not liking this at all. I love you, though, bibbles! You're an icon!
22) Spice, Sean Paul, Shaggy - SHOOT - How did this perform so bad? This was so good! I felt like I was in the club! A smash! A bop! A great song honestly!
23) Amber Lucid - TOOT - This was a good song. I really have nothing else to say. It wasn't basic or anything bad, but I can't think of anything to say other than that this was good.
24) Griff - BOOT - I wasn't a fan of the lyrics at all. They felt so cheesy, especially in the chorus, and it took me out of the song.
25) BewhY - BOOT - I go inactive from TSC for almost the entire year and now I see so many kpop winners....
I guess I'll make sure to be super active this upcoming year. I'm gonna save TSC. Kpop artists shouldn't be banned from winning, like...some are good as you can see through my toots/boots, but this was so bad...I'm concerned for your guys' taste since y'all let this win.
26) Liz Gillies (cause fuck anyone calling this "Victorious Cast" when it's clearly only Liz Gillies.......the sexism) - SHOOT - Bye, this is the second best Victorious song ever, but also it's 387492874 times better than anything on the radio nowadays. This screams mid-late 2000s nostalgia and, if you know me, that's my sweet spot for music. I love this so much unironically, let alone also loving this ironically. Bop!
27) Kevin Abstract - BOOT - Wish this and Liz Gillies switched so this semi could've ended on a good note. Sad.
