Matchup #1: Hyuna vs LooseyLaduca.
"Bad Country" - Avenge Sevenfold #Hyuna
This had all the elements I expect in a rock song. Grungy voice, crazy drums set, and ups and downs in tempo, and an epic guitar solo. This song takes you on a ride that I can only describe as a rollercoaster. I was entertained all 5 minutes. I shook my head yes i did.
"Instigators" -Grace Potter #Looseyladuca
This was a nice surprise. I feel like the music itself is really similar to #Hyuna's submission. The song was fun and it kinda gives me 80 vibes. If this song came on I'd bopped my head to it. The transition from the keyboard to the guitar was sick. The song was fine I enjoyed her voice a little more, but Hyuna just edged you out.
Matchup #1 Winner: #Hyuna

Matchup #2: Zest vs Fetish
"Cherry Picking" - poutyface #Zest
I try not to talk bad about submission because these are personal choices. I don't think this song is for me. It reminds me of those "did I just write the song of the summer?" songs on tiktok. I think she was going for an early 2000's rocker chick, Avril Lavigne vibe, but she falls a little short. Her voice a little annoying, but I get the vibe she's still finding her sound. You've been doing great this whole competition but for this theme I fear you're going to have to redeemed yourself.
"Bang The Doldrums" - fall out boys #fetish
This is a good example of a good, not so-well known submission from a well-known group. This to me falls under the same rock umbrella as Zest's submission: pop/alt rock, but from the two this is a stronger song lyric and music wise. I don't think the term catchy is usually used to describe a rock song, but this one was.
Matchup #2 Winner: #fetish
Redemption:..

Morant - “Creep” - Radiohead
This sad is terribly sad and it’s worrying that this is how you think people will remember you? The overall song is amazing though from lyrics to his voice to the instruments.
fetish - “Mariners Apartment Complex” - Lana del Rey
Lana is a poet and this song tells me exactly who you are. You killed the theme.Her voice is amazing in this.
Hyuna - “Seven Wonders” - Fleetwood Mac
You were one of the few ones who understood the theme. From this I can tell that you’re a carefree spirit. I love her voice and how upbeat the song was.
Looseyladuca -”Bass Down Low” DEV, The Cataracts
The description sent me. This song playing at a funeral would be iconic. You were one of the few who understood the assignment. Is the song the best? No, but you understood the assignment!

Funny - “Set Me Free” - Eden Alene
This song doesn’t tell me who you are. The song is fine. I think her voice saves it. I’m not a big fan of the music used.
chad123 - “If I die Young” - The Band Perry
This song is a little on the nose and it doesn't really let me know who you are. The main task was to submit a legacy song. Something that tells me who you were.The overall song is beautiful and I’m usually not a fan of country music. Sadly , this song has placed you in the bottom 2.
reallyreally - “Go Rest High on the Mountain” - Vince Gill
This song makes me weirdly nostalgic? I feel like this is more of a funeral song than a song that tells me about you?..
