As we begun the #PreliminaryChallenge with 26 songs, we are now down to you, the Final 16. In the First Challenge of the season, I had decided to branch out into, what seems like a classic choice...a song from a musical movie, as the title is hinting out.
Edit: To clarify, only from a musical movie--not from a studio or live musical, as just with Musical Movies, there are so many options for you all to work with and I know those more than studio and live, personally.
***Now, in addition to posting a song, I will also need you to clarify in your submission, which musical you had chosen, so it makes my job with reference checking, so much easier.
In this challenge, the 3 judges will be me, BenjaminS and EEstrada17
We shall be grading the songs submitted again, going from 1 to 10.
At the end of this round, at least one of you will become the winner of this challenge and as the challenge before had, the winner will have themselves some addition power. Plus, they will also get themselves a draft spot in the secondary prize.
The bottom 3 of this challenge, will be landing themselves into the elimination, where 1 of you, will be getting the boot from the game and because I love me some Dragula, I will be scripting your eliminations, in their style; if you do not know this franchise, it means I will be scripting your elimination in a death sequence.

With the #PreliminaryChallenge getting 26 submissions and only 16 spots (unless 16th has a tie), I will be posting the rankings below. But first, I will have to disclose a few competitors that will be knocked out before the key ceremony begins.
First off, PrincessKandi2014 has chosen to opt out of the competition for personal reasons and I hope everything for her will be better. With her submission meeting the 2 criteria listed and being a good bop, I can't wait for her to compete again, in another season.
And to conclude, there are a few of you that did not follow the criteria listed and unfortunately, will be getting Disqualified.
Buttercup13 and Fromawindow
Both of your submissions were not a music video as listed and knowing how several were messaging me on these specific criteria, I do have to boot you both.
I do have to say #Buttercup13 Ben did seem to like your submission and #Fromawindow urgh Braden, your song had me hooked, till I looked midway into it and realized there wasn't a music video :(
And tbrown_47 Tim, you did have a music video, but the other criteria that had to be met was being under 20 million views--which yours surpassed 31 million views. :(
I do hope you three come back next season because you guys did have good submissions.
With that being said--the 22 of you that are left will be seeing the scores and placements below:
1st: The winner of this Preliminary Challenge:
brunodrads
Ben-10
Jojo-10
Another song that was released recently and this specific one, had me hooked, within 45 seconds. One of my top favorite songs, of the bunch and officially on my playlist(s).

2nd:
DrG2
Ben-10
Jojo-7
At first hearing, I was “meh” about it; it got better and better; his voice, as the song progressed, got me more interested into it, by the end.
Erik-8
Total=25
3rd:
Jaxon
Ben-9
Jojo-8.5
This song is just one of several that were submitted and are exactly why I decided this kind of format. Not something I would have chosen to listen too on my own, but it was a pleasant surprise.
Erik-7
Total=24.5
ItsAlexia
Ben-5.5
Jojo-10
Oh yes, an artist that I knew prior, but a song I had never heard of though…till now and I am officially hooked to this song. Absolutely loved it!
Erik-9
Total=24.5
5th:
NewNightmare7
Ben-6
Jojo-8
Now, this is the song I knew well from Kim Petras and have had it in multiple playlists. I clearly love it, but it also is overplayed though, in my perspective. (Maybe without hearing Icy first, you would have been slightly higher).

Okay Michael, literally a song just released; one of the few to take this approach. This video was cute, but the song is what kept me engaged; the voices also were very complementary, which was another positive to..
