First lets get into the results from last round. The theme was Artist Not Born in the USA and here are the rankings of the songs you submitted 1. Manon - pl4yg1rl by Lolo Zouaï 2. DK - Black Widow by FELICIA 3. PureEssence - Blur by Lolo Zouaï 4. MissChloeKay - I'll Be Fine by Molly Peterson 5. itsamodernlife - Supermarket by Say Now 6. MaxOra - Joyride by Astrid S 7. Akshar - Water by Tyla 8. frostbite - Euphoria by Loreen 9. Venusvafa - Cut to the Feeling by Carly Rae Jepsen 10. JessieKowalski - On and On and On by Klara Hammarström 11. lover - Sky Love by foxes 12. daze - Camera by Ed Sheeran 13. dino - Flesh Without Blood by Grimes 14. Luna - Diamonds by Rihanna With that, I’m sorry Luna and Dino, you have both been eliminated. This isn’t because either of you submitted bad songs. For me, Diamonds is not close to being her strongest song. With Flesh Without Blood, I found myself getting bored and wanting to skip it. It took me three listens to get through, and even then it still just felt okay to me. Based on that, I’ve decided to eliminate you both this round. Theme : Duets or Features Due : 9PM EST Friday (Single Elimination) The next category is choosing a song with two artist on, whether it's a feature or a duet. Pick the best song for the category, and include a sentence explaining why you chose it. If your song is a duplicate, I’ll ask you to submit a different one. Here’s the Google spreadsheet of previously submitted songs. I’ll continue updating it as we go. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O6maKuOopcgl_jxCTPxrcuJB_GHTVikfwKtx91oWlU8/edit?gid=0#gid=0

VenusVafa - Part Of Your World by Jodi Benson 13. JessieKowalski - Anthems for a 17 year old Girl by Yeule 14. Luna- A Thousand Mile by Christina Perri 15. Marilise - Milkshake by Kelis So with that, I’m sorry, Marilise, but you have submitted the worst song this round. The theme was movies (songs from films), and while Milkshake has appeared in several films and is undeniably iconic, this was a very strong round overall, and I felt other submissions fit the theme better. As a result, you have been eliminated. Theme : Artist Not Born in the USA Due : 8AM EST Thursday (DOUBLE Elimination) The next category is choosing a song by an artist who was not born in the USA. Pick the best song for the category, and include a sentence explaining why you chose it. If your song is a duplicate, I’ll ask you to submit a different one. Here’s the Google spreadsheet of previously submitted songs. I’ll continue updating it as we go. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O6maKuOopcgl_jxCTPxrcuJB_GHTVikfwKtx91oWlU8/edit?gid=0#gid=0

The theme was Express Yourself (Showcase an Artist). While Humble and Kind is a well-written song, Tim McGraw himself gets a bit lost in it compared to other submissions that felt more distinctive and artist-forward. Everyone else moves on to the next round. Theme : Movies (songs from films) Due : 7PM EST Tuesday (Regular Elimination) The next category is a simple one: songs from films (please include the film it’s from). There are a lot of movies out there, so if you submit a duplicate, I’ll ask you to resend. Here’s the Google spreadsheet of previously submitted songs. I’ll continue updating it as we go. https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1O6maKuOopcgl_jxCTPxrcuJB_GHTVikfwKtx91oWlU8/edit?gid=0#gid=0

Theme : Express Yourself (Showcase an Artist) Due : 3PM EST Monday (Regular Elimination) For this round, pick an artist you enjoy. This can be a favorite of yours or an artist you think I’ll enjoy. Choose one song that you feel best represents or showcases that artist. Think of it as their “this is who I am” song. Along with your song, include a short blurb explaining why you chose it and how you feel it showcases the artist. This doesn’t need to be a novel, but I do expect at least a sentence or two. Mail me on here or message me on Discord @ deenadarlingxo. Submissions are first come, first served. I will only accept one artist per submission for this round so we have variety. If I ask you to pick again, it means the artist or song has already been chosen. I’ll be keeping a spreadsheet of songs that have been picked and can’t be used again in future rounds. 1.MaxOra 2.DK 3.MissChloeKay 4.JessieKowalski 5.Lover 6.Akshar 7.itsamodernlife 8.PureEssence 9.Marilise 10.VenusVafa 11.Luna 12.Manon 13.dino 14.frostbite 15.@MessyJ 16.daze

I’m hosting a music game on the blog page and I’m looking for about 12–16 people to sign up. Each week will have a set theme, and you’ll have 24 hours to send me a song that fits the theme via mail or Discord. I’ll keep a spreadsheet of songs that have already been used, so if your song has already been picked for that round, I’ll ask you to choose another one. Each week, the lowest-rated song will be eliminated, with the occasional double elimination, until we have a winner. The winner will receive a gift of their choosing as a thank-you for the time and effort you put into participating. 1.MaxOra 2.DK 3.MissChloeKay 4.JessieKowalski 5.Lover 6.Akshar 7.itsamodernlife 8.PureEssence 9.Marilise 10.VenusVafa 11.Luna 12.Manon 13.dino 14.frostbite 15.@MessyJ 16.daze
