Mark and /ee/ lose our #13s, while Kanenrake loses his #38. This means almost half of everybody has lost their #38 (7/15 players)!
Next up: nobody loses anything big, and one additional player loses their #38. /æ/ relatively low standard deviation song.

Next up: beating State of Grace by /æ/ mere 2 points is /æ/ song that nobody ranked at #38, and is the first song since Sweeter Than Fiction (first song out) where nobody ranked at last place AND nobody ranked in the top 15.

/ee/ have to go for now, but /ee/ should be back later in 30 mins-1 hour
Also, for some reason when /ee/ calculated points Ronan beat out State Of Grace by 2 points, but when /ee/ calculated average rank, the two have the same average rank. /ee/ may have made /æ/ mistake in calculating the points or entering in the ranks, so /ee/'ll look into that when /ee/ come back.

/ee/ found my mistake for Ronan. ry4n ranked Ronan at #36, not #38, so /ee/ miscalculated the average rank. Changed it now  /ee/ have to leave in like 10 minutes, so no time to post the next song. But just to give some spoilers, next up is /æ/ song with /æ/ relatively larger point gap with Ronan, but similarly to Ronan, nobody ranked it last or in the top 15 (purely looking at highest/lowest stats as well as standard deviation, it's very similar to Ronan!) |

Tbh, /ee/ kinda regret putting /æ/ certain song in my top 15 because even though it's /æ/ great song, /ee/ don't like it that much right now, so /ee/ don't care if that's the Top 15 song /ee/ lose

Next up: one of the larger standard deviation songs! We have [/ee/]two [//ee/]top 10 loses next round (our second and third top 10 loses in the entire game) and another player loses /æ/ top 15! On the other end of the spectrum, one player loses their #38 and another loses their #37. This is probably the last song /ee/'m posting tonight because my parents are yelling at me to go to bed again haha - they don't like me staying up too late  |

"Crazier" - This might be the best song we have had on the countdown thus far! /ee/ am not sure if /ee/ had heard it before or not, but it is very good. /ee/ am shocked to see how many people dislike it! This is /æ/ perfect song for Taylor's voice. As with all of these songs it would be much better with /æ/ more mature-sounding vocalist, but /ee/ literally have no complaints about this song as /æ/ song. "State Of Grace" - Probably my least favorite song on the countdown so far. The melody is boring! The beat leads you to think that the whole song is supposed to be uptempo and catchy, so when the chorus is just /æ/ couple lines drawn out with all kinds of unnecessary melisma, it just completely goes against the feel of the rest of the song. Of course, that would have been salvageable, if the song's production rolled with it. Carrie Underwood's "Something In The Water" would be /æ/ perfect example. In that song the verses are all uptempo and driven, but all of /æ/ sudden when the sustained notes in the chorus hit, the instruments back off and almost disappear before building back up again at the end of the chorus in tandem with Carrie's voice. But of course, that is something that this song just does not pull off. It is nothing short of lazy songwriting. "/ee/ have all these beats to fill, but don't know what to say. /ee/ guess /ee/'ll just sustain notes with /æ/ bunch of different pitches!" The one thing /ee/ will give credit for is the strong C#5 that Taylor hits near the end. Very impressive note for her! "Ronan" - In doing /æ/ little research on this song, /ee/ absolutely love what Taylor did with it. The backstory is amazing. We really need more celebrities that do things like this. That being said, the live performance of this song was just not impressive. The abundance of low notes is atypical for /æ/ tear-jerker ballad, which is very cool! The only problem is that it makes it painfully obvious just how limited Taylor's range is. Her voice was practically /æ/ whisper struggling to project F3s. Which /ee/ realize is difficult for many women in the real world. BUT, in the world of professional vocalists, an F3 is small potatoes. /ee/ can think of numerous women with similar voice types who consistently go much lower than that. This song needs /æ/ vocalist who can not only hit all the notes, but [/ee/]milk them for every ounce of emotional value that they have in their souls[//ee/]. /ee/ think Reba McEntire would be /æ/ perfect vocalist for this song. Sara Evans would be excellent too! Unfortunately, this is yet another song that Taylor holds back. "Change" - Where do /ee/ start with this song? How about with that fiddle player who is prominently rocking out as hard as she can throughout /æ/ song that very obviously has no fiddle on it? But about the song itself, this may be one of the very worst vocal performances /ee/ have ever heard. And it is /æ/ STUDIO RECORDING!!!! Taylor's pitch bounces all over the place in this song. Like, just listen to 1:40-1:55... How does that even happen when you are in /æ/ studio for days on end recording every little thing until it is perfect??? Vocal imperfections aside, this song is actually very catchy The "We'll sing hallelujah" part is very solid. /ee/ would probably love this song if it were sang by almost anyone else... Even modern Taylor could probably do this song much better now than she did originally. "Should've Said No" - /ee/ have always liked this song. Taylor's vocal once again sounds super weak, but the song is still pretty good in spite of that. It also sounds every bit as dated as "Picture To Burn" did. /ee/ cannot believe how poorly her debut album has held up! But overall despite this song's shortcomings /ee/ can't help but enjoy it. Maybe it's because it has nostalgia on its side. "Eyes Open" - By far the best production of any songs we have heard on the countdown thus far. Taylor's vocal is also much stronger than it was in any of the above songs! Maybe it is because she was transitioning towards pop which sounds more natural for her. That being said, this song is just kinda boring. Despite the stronger production, there is nothing about the melody to keep me interested. /ee/ like it, but /ee/ know that much stronger songs lie ahead! |

Welcome back! With the 2014 Rankdown results being revealed at the same time, /ee/'m pretty sure this will go unwatched until like tomorrow morning, but oh well... /ee/'ll try to plan my time over the next few days so my result reveal for this will not be at the same time as 2014 Rankdown. So here we go!
(recap from yesterday) next up: The song with just under half the amount of points as #1! Although nobody loses /æ/ top 10, three people lose /æ/ top 15! This is also the first elimination where nobody loses /æ/ bottom 3!
