TSC 2017 Top 100 Song Ranking

8 Patrick319, Dec 10, 2017

It's time for my first complete end-of-year ranking! I went through all songs that were submitted to TSC this year (between TSC 265 - 300), and shortlisted a total of 147 entries. This number was then narrowed down to 100 songs. A number of contests were excluded from being eligible for the ranking, including all songs from TSC 272 (only Eurovision 2017 entries were excluded), TSC 280 (80's theme), TSC 288 (Covers theme), and TSC 300 (Second chance contest).
I went back and forth between a lot of songs but am at last content with how the ranking turned out. Some songs were shoo-in's to make it in while other songs grew on me over time and thus eventually landed in my Top 100 (ie. Ponteme). Actually, this applies to many #TolisKalkas entries.
32 players have songs on my ranking, with nearly every eligible contest being represented. Everyone is tagged on their first entry to appear in the ranking, but many of you obviously have multiple entries included. My top four songs are also linked. Without further ado, here's my TSC 2017 Ranking:
100. Bat for Lashes - What's a Girl To Do // Sent by Tepr // TSC 268 - 13th place, 46 points (12 points given)
99. SAVEUS - Levitate Me // Sent by dragotistic // TSC 291 - 3rd place, 77 points (10 points given)
98. Nina - Colors of my love // Sent by ryan5676 // TSC 274 - 19th place, 35 points (7 points given)
97. Aura Dione - Can't Steal the Music // Sent by rodrigueseve // TSC 283 - 9th place, 75 points (12 points given)
96. Hedley - All Night // Sent by Insanity17 // TSC 297 - 7th place, 70 points (8 points given)
95. Zak Abel - Still Want UUU // Sent by Fritzyyyyy // TSC 298 - 9th place, 60 points (7 points given)
94. Sunset Neon - Never Dance Again // Sent by Yoshitomi // TSC 281 - 24th place, 7 points (10 points given)
93. Lizzo - Scuse Me // Sent by TolisKalkas // TSC 266 - 18th place, 29 points (8 points given)
92. Julia Michaels - Icarus // Sent by QueenMichelle // TSC 295 - 10th place, 63 points (10 points given)
91. Lauv - I Like Me Better // Sent by smi9127 // TSC 275 - 15th place, 44 points (0 points given)
90. XYLØ - I Still Wait For You // Sent by LoveMeLoveMe // TSC 273 - 12th place, 65 points (10 points given)
89. Kazaky - Milk-Choc // Sent by onemanarmy // TSC 289 - 14th place, 35 points (5 points given)
88. Sofia Carson - Back To Beautiful // Sent by LiukBB // TSC 273 - 15th place, 52 points (6 points given)
87. Kygo - Stargazing // Sent by #ryan5676 // TSC 294 - 7th place, 68 points (7 points given)
86. Ina Wroldsen - Strongest // Sent by #ryan5676 // TSC 298 - 13th place, 54 points (8 points given)
85. ROZES - Famous // Sent by #Insanity17 // TSC 294 - 5th place, 74 points (8 points given)

Rick's Top 40 Favourite TSC Songs of 2016..

4 ricktworick1, Jan 14, 2017

TSC group link: http://www.tengaged.com/group/3616
Notes:
- All songs sent in between TSC 226 to 264 are eligible
- This is based on my personal opinion - I mean there's a reason it's MY LIST. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts
- Contrary to some weird belief, I don't believe that my music taste is better than anyone else's, although I have no idea if it's useful to post that because every year there are some idiots crying about their songs not being appreciated enough. This list is for you all to have some fun and laugh at possible comments I make.
- I also include some of my own entries, but don't worry, I'm not that arrogant to have more than 10 entries about myself
28. Dara - K'vo Ne Chu - #TolisKalkas, TSC248, 6th, 89 pts

Balkan pop music has really stepped up its game in 2016, and this song shows exactly how popular music should actually sound. Agressive verses, great buildup, and a drop that you will remember for the next 20 years. It's just a pity that her English version of this song called "Onto You" sounds like she mumbles some gibberish bullshit.
27. Flume - Never Be Like You (feat. Kai) - #PrincessTeePee, TSC231, 8th, 78 pts

To be quite honest, explaining why this song is so cool is a bit of a difficult task. There are so many parts that completely don't go together, at first listen this just sounds a bit boring and untidy. It is safe to say that this single has significantly grown on me - I don't know how this absolutely messy production and background still managed to maintain this kind of a dreamy feeling, because this genre (Future Bass) usually gets this sort of thing extremely wrong. This is probably one of the better executed releases from this type of music, and maybe Corinne Bailey Rae should have got some lessons from Flume on how to incorporate quirky elements in a better manner.
26. Greta Salome - Row - #Patrick319, TSC264, 1st, 93 pts

While Greta's Eurovision song saw the same fate as Silvia Night's entry, she still cannot match the level of ICON that the latter undoubtedly is when it comes to A-TTI-TUDE. Fortunately, her non-ESC releases are million times better than Silvia Night's, it's just a pity that she didn't call out a Swedish artist for having sex with the EBU head in the car or for being ugly, especially when she didn't qualify while Poland did - like where is the justice? "Row" should just show the brainless Eurovision fans on what they missed by not letting her through.
25. Sia - The Greatest - #Patrick319, TSC252, 2nd, 92 pts

I mean, it's Sia and her new signature sound, it's almost impossible to dislike any of her current releases. While marketing herself as a person without a face is a bit of a bullshit excuse (since Behind The Scenes..

Rick's Top 40 Favourite TSC Songs of 2015..

7 ricktworick1, Mar 20, 2016

Notes:
- All songs sent in between TSC 189 to 225 are eligible
- This is based on my personal opinion. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts
- Contrary to some weird belief, I don't believe that my music taste is better than anyone else's. This list is for you all to have some fun and laugh at possible comments I make.

16. The Pretty Reckless - Heaven Knows
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rHBxJCq99jA
Sent by Zeptis in TSC194, placed 4th with 84 points.
Rock songs usually don't do very well in TSC, but there are always some exceptions to the rule, and this is a great example of it. The song itself never loses its momentum - something that rock musicians these days forget about. There's so much Joan Jett influence in this tune, and I LOVE IT. Take notes, mates.
15. Alex Winston - Careless
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LjppksDmjUs
Sent by #TolisKalkas in TSC197, placed 10th with 66 points.
I feel like TSC slept on this entry as much as they did with I.AM.L. It is pretty obvious that this is MUCH MUCH better than her winning entry from 2011, but sometimes you win some, you lose some. This is a pretty TSC-esque entry with typical buildup to the chorus, but who cares that such structure is getting overused if it's almost always effective. She's going to be 30 soon, so it's time for her to be popular.
14. Ella Eyre - Together
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eK5mH9oF7T4
Sent by Samhuss in TSC196, placed 1st with 101 points.
She's become such a hated artist in TSC for two reasons: being overused as hell, and for consistently releasing music that shits all over the people who regularly send boring-ass music (looking at you, Ryan). Her tone always sounds unique to me - it's that low-to-high vocal progression that made me fall in love with her music. Together with the great production, "Together" (see what I did there) shows that having a great voice doesn't necessarily mean having to sing ballads all the time.
13. Jess Glynne - Don't Be So Hard On Yourself
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=THeLVhU53ow
Sent by #ricktworick1 in TSC209, placed 3rd with 87 points.
This. Fucking. Title. Her longest song name-wise is superior to the other song that has already made an appearance on this list due to better progression from verses to chorus - it's stronger, more like a proper build-up. Do I need to mention that I love her voice? Do I have to write another paragraph about the proper use of production and great melodic line? I think all of that is pretty obvious by..

Ricktworick1's Top 15 Worst TSC Songs of 2015..

15 ricktworick1, Jan 1, 2016

It's the first day of 2016, and to brighten your mood, I'm providing you the list of the biggest TSC stinkers of 2015.
Notes:
- All songs sent in TSC between 189 to 225 are eligible
- This is based on my personal opinion. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts
- Contrary to some weird belief, I don't believe that my music taste is better than anyone else's. This list is for you all to have some fun and laugh at possible comments I make
- If you want more stinkers, there will be a dishonorable mentions list just for you to entertain yourself even more
Let's start!
15. Laing - Zeig Deine Muskeln
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6ccQuHp944
Sent in TSC201 by #TolisKalkas, finished 18th with 38 points.
Let's start off with a song that is supposed to have a fast pace, but ends up being a tedious mash of underproduced layers of background track. She sounds quite bored during the verses, but usually all is forgiven when the song hits the chorus, but instead of a power-up that the music should have, the song stays at the very same dimension making this already dull song even more bland than it should be. Keep in mind that this was sent in the Eurovision-themed contest, and sending a foreign song with such little quality is, at least to me, considered a waste of a spot.
14. Mz 007 - Important
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q8Wb5GO7_SE
Sent in TSC215 by #TolisKalkas, finished 7th with 65 points.
Tolis starts off very well on this list by having the first two entries right here. The irony points for this entry propelled this song into the top 10, and it's probably the highest-charting ironic entry of the 2015, but it doesn't change the fact that this song is a terrible excuse of a rap song. The typical background track for half-done hip-hop songs is actually the smallest issue, what really grants me is the fact how idiotic the lyrics are. As #Patrick319 said, "I can fix fat, but I can't fix this song."
13. Fjokra - Get Amongst It
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ALQwjG-Duv4
Sent in TSC209 by #Tepr, finished 14th with 37 points.
This song doesn't sound too bad during the verses. The whispery-alike singing is actually quite intriguing and the bridge to the chorus is actually pretty haunting. Everything sounds like it is going to go somewhere awesome, and then the chorus happens and I'm just like "nope." The complete nonsense that happened during the most important part of the song was enough for me to ruin a supposedly decent entry, to the point that it landed a spot on the worst-list. This should show you the importance of a chorus in TSC entries.
Ask to be..

Top 15 WORST TSC songs since my start - #14

15 ricktworick1, Nov 12, 2014

[AKF app]
Reposting since Tengaged is dumb enough not to include tags on people's profiles.
Note: This is based on my personal opinion. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts.
I've started my journey in TSC in 2011, with TSC 60 being the first contest I appeared in (as a jury member).
I am so dedicated to TSC that I've decided to torture myself into reminding back to the songs from Tengaged Song Contest, that NEVER EVER should have been submitted. I subjected myself to listening to 43 terrible songs that came to my mind, and whilst only 15 will make the cut for the title of the worst TSC song (in Rick's opinion), there will also be honorable mentions on that matter (which will include another 10 disasters).
14th place goes to...

Azis - Hop
Sent by #TolisKalkas in TSC 159, placed 16th with 26 points.
I suppose there is a need to be original when it comes to the image. While Israel has Dana International, and while Austria has Conchita Wurst, Bulgaria has got...this.
With the graphical content not being the main point (although I do admit it has KIND OF affected the ranking), let's HOP on to the song. Not only the first four words in it are DREADFUL, the whole thing (including the video) is a huge mess. While I do admit that the melodies in this are of decent standard, I must say that this kind of singing is what I truly LOATHE. This style is basically "trying to be different". Sure, I like different, but it must go into the right direction, and this one has certainly got the wrong end of the stick.
Now another thing, out of all men that appeared in the video, would ANY OF YOU pick Azis? I surely doubt that.
We cannot blame him for his image too much, though, Bulgaria still lives in 20th century, as they still tend to condemn LGBT people. Gay marriage there is still prohibited, and they will not really overturn it soon at all, so I guess this is a good alternative to show off.
