Jaxon- So… I adore How To Be A Heartbreaker, and honestly this year I tried giving this entire album a chance being her source material of the single. I was quite disappointed I didn’t quite stan the album, but for me in a sea of songs that didn’t live up to what I was hoping for, Bubblegum Bitch stood out and did what I wanted with the album. I really enjoyed this song and I’m glad to see it here in the finale. It was definitely charting in dangerous territory, but you came out of it successful which make me happy to see. *1/2*
Krystal- This was one of Marina’s best eras of all time! A song about young love this bittersweet and aggressive? I love the sweetness paired with this almost undercurrent of aggressiveness to it. Like this is ultra femme in a weaponized song form, and I adore it so much because of just how much she uses her voice and the instrumental to make it dark as much as it is sugary. Here’s my #1 because you deserve it!
*1/2*
Deme- I... love this. I love Marina, I love this song specifically - it's so fun? It's so catchy? It's such a bop? Great pick! *1/2*
Josh- *1/2*

Jaxon- Beyond Sia being a risky choice in this competition, I think it is even riskier to post the same artist twice in the same round. This is definitely the first Sia song I ever heard on the radio, and I honestly used to think it was David singing being young and not understanding he was just the producer. This song definitely still lives up to this day for me, though I will say it is a wee bit repetitive… but Sias vocals are outstanding on this one. *2/2*
Krystal- I feel like everyone knows this song. I mean, it was really popular for a time because the vocals are just so beautiful. But I don’t find the vocals particularly powerful, and I think the instrumental overpowers them to be entirely honest. Sia’s voice shines further in the song, though, and I do love the way she delivers the chorus. I mean. The way she screams Titanium is just art. And this beat is bouncy and fun! *2/2*
Deme- Okay, wow. I thought I'd be sick to death of hearing this song, but like... no, it's a bop? Her voice is so incredible impressive, and the lyrics are great, and just... wow. Great pick. *2/2*
Josh- *2/2*
