14. Sheppard - "Geronimo", submitted by #AlphaBravo in TSC 180, placed 1st with 148 points (8 points given)
Great rhythm, upbeat folk music. This always brings me to happy mood. The changes throughout the song make this a very rich-sounding song.
13. Oonagh - "Orome", submitted by Montenegro in TSC 180, placed 3rd with 117 points (10 points given)
Never did an ethnic-y germany song work for me except this one. I believe if this is in a foreign language themed contest this would easily win, this is just full of amazing and magical sounds.
12. James Bay - "Hold Back The River", submitted by #LisaSak in TSC 185, placed 4th with 93 points (12 points given)
I'm honestly out of words. Doing a long list isn't an easy task :P but great song, his higher voice is amazing, this is a full of feel song from the start.
11. Walk Off the Earth - "Red Hands", submitted by ricktworick1 in TSC 117, placed 1st with 138 points (4 points given)
They're definitely geniuses at this stuffs. Their original songs are actually a lot better then their covers in my opinion. This is at the top of their best songs for sure.

Notes:
- This is obviously my own opinion, why in the world would I make this list if it wasn't subjective?
- I've started my TSC journey in 2011, from TSC60, so obviously many other good songs might be missing.
- I might be a bit harsh on some stuff, so do not take it personally.
- I will include some of my songs, but this isn't going to be all about me list at all.
9. Zedd - Clarity (feat. Foxes)

EDM has always been right up my alley, but this one captures a placing in the top 10. I absolutely love Zedd's production here, he knows how to make a proper dance song that can sound anthemic, without overdoing it with unnecessary drops. Foxes' vocal performance is just a cherry on top of it, so please enjoy her amazing voice as well!
8. Zella Day - East Of Eden

We live during the times, when the majority of music artists have no idea how to use some mechanics from other genres to make their songs sound acceptable, not like impersonating your own fart noises. There are so many songs which I think could have been better, if the producers had any sense on how to properly build a song. Thankfully, we've got this day by the soon-to-be-semi-relevant Zella Day, who is able to give us a song that is constructed the way tunes SHOULD sound like. Dubstep-alike chorus that actually fits the song is a rarity, so another big plus for that.
7. The Storm - Raver

What a BANGER. The song starts off strongly, and it doesn't lose the momentum after the beginning. An emotional dance song, just like Zedd's Clarity, is built in almost exactly the same way as the song at number 9, except the vocal performance here is even better, and there are no annoying breaks for the song, therefore making it rank higher than "Clarity". Another smart use of dubstep can be heard here, that single sounds EXACTLY like something that would top the charts, so it's a shame they've never reached that kind of success.
