Hey everyone! Sorry for being vague about the challenge, if there's another challenge like it or with different parameters, then I shall make sure to include that.
Anyways, here are your critiques
rhayden82 and tbrown_47
Red Velvet!!!! Love them so much! This song was such a tone shift from some of their other comebacks, so I really loved seeing that. With this song, the vocals took priority and it allowed the song to just be free with its interpretation. I loved the vibe of it, and how the tones of the voices were different throughout the different sections. My only gripe for the song was that the end got a bit annoying with the repeating phrase, but other than that I was vibing.

Dreamcatcher is sooooo underrated! I had listened to them a bit, but this song is now getting me absolutely hooked!!!!! The acting in the MV was superb, but this is about the music lol. I loved the soft voices and how the upbeat and driving beats of the song pushed the narrative of it. The beginning with all of the different instruments was just soo beautiful, then adding the immediate change, like amazing!!! The powerful and soft coming together to make this song absolutely amazing to listen to! GREAT JOB!
(Ps. I am more of a rapper than a vocalist, and Dami's rap had me wanting to learn it so bad!!!!!!)

GFriend disbanded too early!!!!!!!! This song is definitely classic GFriend, and I really liked it! The vocals, the instrumentals, the vibe was all there. I do think that the song's composition left a little to be desired due to the lack of variety in the sound. However, the song was a bop!

STAN LOONA! I love this song! The vocals, the rapping, THE DANCING! I love every aspect of this song (besides the gross line distribution lol). I enjoyed how the mixing of the song allowed the bridge to come out as something totally different. The bridge in itself is one of the best bridges of all time. So that in itself was just awesome. But yea, the rest of the song was soo good! Well done!!!!!!
Becksta20 and SomebodyAwesome
GFriend changing their concept here really allowed them to showcase a different sound, and it was very much an awesome comeback. However, this is their weakest comeback in my opinion. I like the song, but the chorus and how the song was set up was so similar to other songs that had been released during that time. There was nothing bad about the song, but its just boring to listen to due to those factors.
Onto the results....
When I call your name please step forward

Hey guys! Time to see if you made me sad or not lol. Next round there will be a twist, so lets see whos lucky enough to make it to next round!

I liked the premise of the song, but it was a little cheesy. I loved the strings and the piano in the background and how they amplified the bridge of the song. The different dynamics of the song and the different tones of voice were really nice to hear! I did like the lyrics about the family loving him no matter what, because I am from a broken household. So that definitely lead to the song hitting a bit differently. Your best submission by far!

The song itself was good, but I found the synth harmonies a bit awkward and it didn't make the serious tone seem all that forward. My attitude totally changed going into the final bridge and chorus. It was so interesting how the strings were being plucked and played in dissonant chords and then the final high belting chorus which really shows her emotion of the song. It was absolutely gorgeous. Adding in the low piano and the string runs at the end really just amplified the whole thing. Well done!
CarolinaSteele
This is gonna be a little weird to say, but the guitar and the way the chords were structured I first thought this would be a Christian worship song, but I was wrong lol. I wasn't digging it until the chorus hit. I loved the guitars just driving and building in the chorus, it showcased the emotion that I thought the first verse was lacking. I understand why the song is set up the way it is, and the vocals being added on top of the guitars just added another layer of emotion to it. The fact that the end really died down from the continuous chaos really helped capture what the song truly was about. Nice comeback!

The introduction really felt emotional, I loved that! THE VIOLINS ADDING DISSONANCE OMG (sorry, I always type these as I'm listening lol)! The soft and yearning vocal color really helps me establish what the tone of this song is about. The percussive elements help add the element of suspense and wanting. After hearing all of these elements, the song didn't really hit anywhere else. I was expecting the instrumentals to shift a bit throughout to convey more of a theme, but I was left a little disappointed. It felt a bit one note, and so all the emotion kinda left me throughout the song. The only real change happened near the end where the violins ramped up, and I liked that section. Overall, a good submission, it just lacked diversity in the sound.
txashaun
The piano starting off really helped set the mood for the song. Her deep and soft vocals really spoke to me in the beginning. The dynamic contrast in her voice was so impeccable. The chorus is absolutely iconic and the lead into it is so smooth and powerful. The bridge is so condemning and solemn, its speaking straight to my soul. Her voice is just so full of emotion. The..
What a close vote. This was probably by far the most interesting tribal council yet. With that said, it’s time for the results.
First vote...Sarah
Second vote...Sarah
Third vote...Russell
Fourth vote...Russell
Fifth vote...Russell
Sixth vote...Sarah
*Candace stands up...I have decided to go out on my own.* I’m leaving the game for strategy reasons.
Since Candace has decided to leave the game her vote will not count. Her vote in jury will only count if there’s a tie. There will still be a true tribal council.
Since there is a tie both Russell Swan & Sarah Jones will both be eliminated becoming our fourth & fifth jury members!

GroundBreaker getting a look at the TurnTable tribe. Mitchell Olson was voted out at tribal council last episode.
We have reached the point where both tribes become one...both tribes merge into one larger tribe. There will be no more tribe immunity, from here on Random.org will select one player to receive individual immunity.
Since you’re one tribe united, your new tribe name will be DoubleDecker. Merging as one larger tribe could be a good thing, new alliances could form. Or it could be difficult if you were comfortable on your previous tribe. Tribal council should be interesting.
Random.org has selected Sarah Jones to receive individual immunity. The only person who cannot be voted for. Voting will be the same, just pm your vote for the person who you want to be eliminated. If you fail to vote before the blog expires you will receive an automatic vote for yourself.
