Life: Life Goes On by BTS
Deme- ...I wanted to hate this. I really did. But here we are. 😔 It's a bop? Super fitting? Go off? *3/6*
Josh- *5/6*
Jaxon- I did turn subtitles on just for you <3. I am a slightly changed man since you last saw me judging in season 3. I don’t hate all kpop anymore, and have seen a few songs that worked pretty well for me. However, I feel like BTS just isn’t for me. The lyrics to me, I am assuming YouTube has the translations mostly accurate, they worked pretty well for me and I think they fit the theme pretty well. I just feel like the execution of them didn’t work that well for me because it’s not my general style of music I like to listen to. *6/6*
Krystal- I’m not normally much of a BTS fan, but let’s see how this goes. Subtitles on! There is a nice instrumental so far. The lyrics are nice and soft and light in a way I really like for once, like especially with the higher vocals followed by the deeper vocals. All in all, I’m surprised I liked this as much as I did honestly! *5/6*
The four scores combined + an additional penalty point gave you an average of 5. This ranked you fifth in this category.

Death: If I Die Young by The Band Perry
Jaxon- I don’t even need to listen to this one… she is a regular on my playlist. Is she a bit of a basic and predictable choice… maybe. But, this song holds SO much value to me. I still remember being young and this song being on the radio… she worked for me then and she worked for me now. I think everything about this song kind of just works and fits perfectly together, and the vocals given in this song are just amazing. I’m not sure how she will do overall, but for me… this is one of the easiest #1s I’ve given out in all of JUSCC. *1/6*
Krystal- I feel like I know someone on the judges panel who would like this song, though I could be wrong. I’ve heard this song so much, though, that the appeal of it has sort of become lost to me. Like yes, it’s very much sad, but her vocals are lacking the sheer intensity of some of these other songs this week. This is a less sad take on death, though, which I do appreciate, but at the same time it’s just one of those songs that’s been overplayed too much. *6/6*
Deme- Okay, well... bop? Obviously it's a bop. Literally my only problem with it is that it feels really overplayed at this point... but maybe that's just me! I don't know. It's super fitting, the vocals are great, and the lyrics are super fitting for this theme. Great pick. *3/6*
Josh- *1/6*
