Friday 22nd January?

I was confused aswell. Friday is the 25th!

Collected comments:
1. Big Fox - I like the piano. Sweet voice. A bit catchy too.
2. Birgitte Aphrodite - Not the best voice, but I guess it works with the punk feeling. I like the accent too. I think I quite like it actually.
3. Go Periscope - The start was promising, but it never really got interesting or powerful enough. I don't really like the singing in the chorus either, it does not really get along with my ears. Just ok.
4. He is We - I find the song itself rather uninteresting, but the way it's performed makes it a bit better. I like the simplicity.
5. Joel Alme - At first I thought it would have been better with a better singer, but the imperfection kind of adds to the feeling (I like the feeling). I love the instruments too.
6. King & Country - Another song with promising beginning, but when the singing came in I found it rather generic. A bit catchy though. I prefer the instrumental parts.
7. Latice Royale & Manila Luzon - What the...? I don't even know what it's supposed to be. They look like they're having fun, but it sounds rather terrible.
8. Matt Pond - Just another indie song. It's not bad, but I'm a pretty bored by it. You probably have to hear it a few times to appreciate it.
9. Sahara Davenport - Maybe she should join Latice Royale & Manila Luzon from song #7? The singing is almost as bad as theirs. The background music is really annoying.
10. Selah Sue - I quite like her voice. Especially in the chorus. I'm glad they added some wind instruments too, I was just waiting for them.
11. The Killers - Sounds like... them. They're good. This song was nice too, even though they have made better ones. It's a bit too obvious to be interesting in TSC though.
12. The White Buffalo - Good start, and maybe even better when he started singing. I just wish something more happened.
13. Tomcraft & Sam Obernik - I didn't expect to like something like this, but her voice goes really well with the music. It's quite interesting.

Tuesday 22nd January! :$ 8PM is deadline, and results will be at 8.30PM

so sorry zurks, for some unknown reason, i thought this was on saturday!!! i was watching room 101 and then big brother only just checked back on here. had i known i would have been here!!! will listen tomorrow.

I should have mailed everyone a reminder before I started, I knew it was quiet but it didn't register why. That is my fault, sorry!

dont worry zurks, theres a lot to remember

1) Big Fox - This song was a bit too nice for me hoenstly LOL. It didn't go anywhere for me. In order for me to like a song it has to be something I would actually buy. This is not one of those songs.
2) Brigitte Aphrodite - Oh god I didn't like her voice at all. It made me cringe the entire time. :|
3) Go Periscope - Hey Zurks, can you believe I like this? LOL a song catered to me almost. I obviously enjoyed it, I generally do like the electronica songs.
4) He is We - The title confused me too LOL. It wasn't amazing, just decent I guess. Again, I wouldn't buy it or anything.
5) Joel Alme - The song just didnt mean anything to me, and it didn't hook me in. I didn't really like his voice.
6) For King & Country - I actually think I heard this on some Christian radio station once now that I think of it LOL. Good song!
7) Latrice Royale & Manilla Luzon - What in gods name is even going on...I was still entertained LOL.
8) Matt Pond - I didn't connect to the song at all, but I still really enjoyed it. I'd like to hear his other songs.
9) Saharah Davenoport - He's actually dead? That sucks. Also read he was dating Manila from the other song. This song was also wildly entertaining.
10) Selah Sue - Well when I started listening I was hoping the song would pick up. It never did. It just made me feel uncomfortable somehow.
11) The Killers - I really enjoyed it, even the video was sort of nice lol. Who cares how mainstream they are!
12) The White Buffalo - I liked how the instrumental in the beginning started and then he opened his mouth and I was like "why does he have to sound like that?"
13) Tomcraft & Sam Obernik - I was NOT expecting that voice, but it definitely was interesting. I didnt like how short it was or that the lyrics were somewhat repetitive. I enjoyed it though.

1 - Big Fox: A bit too twee and sickly sweet for me, but nothing really stood out in terms of me hating on it. I thought it was a tad repetitive, and not entirely sure why there was a slowed down bit in the middle, but again it was neither something I liked or something I hated. It's not  something I would listen to again in a hurry, but considering there are only 13 songs I can vote for I guess this one could get some points from me. :/
2 - Brigitte Aphrodite: Ok I'm gonna try and be nice. I liked the melody and the lyrics. I like that it has elements of old British rock bands like the Rolling Stones, The Kinks and The Beatles. But I don't like her voice. I think that any other voice would make this song even better, and poor vocals have really ruined this song. :(
3 - Go Periscope: Loving this one. I like electronic/indie songs and this one is definitely getting repeated over and over again. I think the verses are better than the chorus, which is strange because usually I prefer a catchy chorus over solid verses, but I can visualise myself listening to this on the way to and from work. Tune! :)
4 - He is We: I like her voice a lot, and it surprised me because I thought it was going to be a male singer for some reason LOL. I think it dragged on a little bit, and needed something to give it an extra dimension for the listener. Nevertheless, I liked it. :)
5 - Joel Alme: I'm pleasantly surprised at this one, too. You can hear the emotion in your voice, and that can sometimes triumph over a catchy song or better vocals. I like the choice of instruments on this one, but I think the latter part of the song lets the beginning down, which is a huge shame.
6 - King & Country: JESUS PROPAGANDA! LisaSak has this one spot on; the instrumental bits are amazing and the vocals let this down. In fact, if it wasn't clearly Jesus Propaganda and changed for a girl/boy then I would have enjoyed it more. I don't want Jesus shoved down my throat tyvm. >:(
7 - Latrice Royale & Manila Luzon: Anyone who watches Rupaul's Drag Race knows exactly what this song is. Two divas belting out a feel good track. Really catchy, too. I'm gonna listen to this and then get back on that Zurka. Zurka. Zurka. Get back on that Zurka. :)
8 - Matt Pond: Sounds a bit like The Kooks, minus the dodgy accents. Liking this song a lot; it has a lot of the elements I enjoy in a song I listen to: fast pace, catchy melody, great vocals and brilliant lyrics. Damn this is good. :)
9 - Sahara Davenoport (with Gomi): Another Rupaul's drag race contestant singing? I'm shocked Shangela or Willam aren't in this TSC either! As much as I like Sahara, and may he rest in peace, he cannot sing. At all. :(
10 - Selah Sue: Wow, big hair! I like her singing voice, but I do not get the whispering thing at all, and in fact it makes me feel really uneasy. It's like something from a creepy trippy nightmare. :S
11 - The Killers: I love The Killers and this song, although not as catchy as some of their stuff, is still a fantastic song. The lyrics are amazing! :)
12 - The White Buffalo: This was a good song, but a bit 'backgroundy' for me. It's something I would have playing in the background whilst I was busy doing something else, and it wouldn't make me stop and listen. I like his voice, though. :)
13 - Tomcraft & Sam Obernik: She sounds like one of the girls in Cocorosie. A very different song to end this TSCb, and although it is different I don't think it will score highly. It's not for me, sadly.

1. Big Fox - Awwwwwh.  This was rather cute!  Her voice is really soothing, and the piano combined with her melodic voice is combined rather beautifully.  A wonderful start to the contest! :’]

2. Brigitte Aphrodite - I’m not sure what to think of her.  Haha!  I dunno.  Something about her is just off.  I mean, I liked it, but I didn’t LOVE it.

3. Go Periscope - Did they say “That’s what we’re fucking for” at one point? LOL.  Wonder how that’s going to go over with bibbles! ;) Anyways, I really liked this song.  I just wanna dance right now! :D I’m noticing slowly but surely that I REALLY like electronica.

4. He Is We - They’re music is very bibbles™ TWEE!  Sometimes I like them, sometimes I don’t.  This was simply “ok.”

5. Joel Alme - Meh.  I feel like I was supposed to feel something from this, but I really didn’t.  It just plodded along.

6. King & Country - The intro made me think I was gonna like this song.  Then I listened to it further and discovered that this song is far too boring and dull for me.

7. Latrice Royale and Manila Luzon - Alright Tolis or Pok3r… I see how it is.  Anyways, I’ve heard this song before.  It’s not THAT bad, but it’s nothing I’d return to.

8. Matt Pond - Awwwwwwh.  This is a super cute video.  I feel like I’m supposed to be happy, but then I see the title of the song and I just go “LOL.”  But really, I still like this song! :’]

9. Sahara Davenport (with Gomi) - Another RuPaul entry.  Oh my Jesus Lord!  Her voice during the chorus is super annoying. @_@ Now I’m begging for Latice and Manila back! ;~; OH GOD!  AND THAT ENDING!  WHAT THE FUCK WAS THAT!?  NO!  NO!  NO!  I’M SO DONE WITH THIS!

10. Selah Sue - Her voice reminds me of Tristan Prettyman, only more… I dunno the word… Rough?  In a good way though! :P I’m not particularly crazy about the song.

11. The Killers - Always have liked them.  Even their slow songs I adore.  This was no different! <3 Umf!

12. The White Buffalo - When he started singing, I didn’t think I was going to like this.  However, I ended up enjoying it.  He has a unique quality to his voice.  I like it! :D By the end I was really satisfied!

13. Tomcraft & Sam Obernik - I’m not sure what he’s trying to do here.   Is this another drag queen? @_@ No.

1 - Big Fox - very catchy! yes, i think i enjoyed this :)!
2 - Brigitte Aphrodite - don't really particularly like this, i can understand why someone would though! just not really my thing i listen to.
3 - Go Periscope - this was very good! but it got a bit annoying towards the end! .... good though!
4 - He is We - yes. that is all i have to say.
5 - Joel Alme - this was very good! i liked the vocal and the music and yeah .... very good!
6 - King & Country - this is one of those songs you feel you've heard about 2390483290 times before, good but a little generic if i may say!
7 - Latrice Royale & Manila Luzon - ummm .... what was that?
8 - Matt Pond - i did like this, but i didn't really like the vocals that much to be honest :/
9 - Sahara Davenoport (with Gomi) - oh dear.
10 - Selah Sue - omg i love her voice, oh dear, fangirls!
11 - The Killers - GET THE KILLERS OUT OF MY FACE.
12 - The White Buffalo - omg i loved this, and i have no idea why.
13 - Tomcraft & Sam Obernik - i didn't mind this, it got a bit annoying though maybe?

so sorry i wasnt here yesterday!!

1 - Big Fox – bordering twee, (apparently this is trademarked now!!)  but I liked the melody and it had nice background bits. Quite a nice little hook going. Shame about the slow bit.
2 - Brigitte Aphrodite – not liking that first bit!! Oh the guitars have started. Oh no mockney!!!
3 - Go Periscope – a bit bland, a bit old school, but not as good!! And he swore!!! How original!
4 - He is We – don’t like her voice, a bit twee and that plodding piano, its getting annoying!! A dragging a bit.
5 - Joel Alme – very nice profile picture!! Very 60s!! reminded me of the tremeloes!!
6 - King & Country – nice melody, has shades of coldplay. Like the vocals, it’s a mellow little ditty!! Oh a christian rock back!!
7 - Latrice Royale & Manila Luzon – what on earth did it just subject my ears to!!!!! This song is about 4minutes and 28 seconds too long!!
8 - Matt Pond – a bit speedy!! Quite like this one, catch, like to vocals, feels good!
9 - Sahara Davenoport (with Gomi) – bangs head on wall, cos its better than listening to this!!!
10 - Selah Sue – don’t normally like this sort of thing but after listening to the last song, I quite like this one!! Good composition and bridging!!
11 - The Killers – I normally like the killers but this dragged a bit! Plus, its from a number 1 album, which I didn’t think was allowed!
12 - The White Buffalo – catchy!! Ooh I like his voice. Reminds me of someone, but cant remember who!!
13 - Tomcraft & Sam Obernik – old school, her voice is annoying and its repetitive!!
