The new age songs are screwed, I'm hoping I make it through by some luck

ROUND FOUR - RESULTSWelcome to the fourth result ceremony. Only 10 of you will survive this elimination. For this round, besides charmander78 , I have invited surfy to be a guest judge! Without further ado, the person who did the best is...
{Spoiler} NICK PERKINS!Marvin Gaye & Tammi Terrell - "Ain't No Mountain High Enough"You've been slowly creeping up and this week you get your turn at the top! Keep it up!Sambalada: "Yeah it's hard to top a duet like this one. They complement each other perfectly and the music is really beautiful." (9.6)MoD: "This is a really good song. Their chemistry is really notorious in this track, plus both sing awesome. The production is cool too." (8.7)Lukas: "The vocals and music here work great in this song. Simply a really nice song." (8.6)Charmander: "One of the most iconic duets, it’s lyrics and the overall vibe of the song make this near perfect and the timeless classic that it is." (10)Surf: "There's a reason this song has stood the test of time, the energy builds and builds and it creates a beautiful crescendo. Marvin & Tammi are a beautiful duo, vocally. what else can i say about it that hasn't already been said?" (9.5)TOTAL: 46.4 | AVERAGE: 9.28The second best is...
{Spoiler} INDULGE!Aretha Franklin - "Respect"Twice the bridesmaid, never the bride. Keep it up and you may come out on top next time!Sambalada: "This song is fucking legendary. Rightfully. I can't find a single flaw." (9.9)MoD: "Now this is a classic. Aretha's vocals are sooo good here and its production is great, just a really good song in every aspect." (9.2)Lukas: "The production is really great here, but the vocals here are questionable in my opinion." (7.7)Charmander: "A classic from the queen of soul. Not an absolute favorite but I like it enough." (7.5)Surf: "I mean, c'mon. a timeless classic. It has a classic soul - Aretha's beautiful voice is eating every other girl UP! This song is catchy as fuck and I'm glad to see it on this list; a great way to open this round up! Sock it to me!" (10)TOTAL: 44.3 | AVERAGE: 8.86The third best is...
{Spoiler} IO!The Smiths - "Please, Please, Please, Let Me Get What I Want"What else can I say? Congratulations on your third consecutive top 3!Sambalada: "One of the most beautiful songs by a band ever. Seriously, it's impossible not to feel an emotion, even in less than 2 minutes." (9.5)MoD: "Now this song is beautiful, Morrisey's vocals are truly amazing, and the guitars are reaaaally nice here, beautiful track." (9.5)Lukas: "I don’t think I’ve ever heard this song before this, but if I haven’t, I just need to say that I had a wonderful first impression with this one." (9.3)Charmander: "This is ok, just kind of boring, so not for me. I get the appeal though." (6.2)Surf: "A pleasant discovery! I didn't want it to end. The melodramatic lyrics really spark the inner emo songwriter in me. The instrumental on this track is everything I could want and I wish there were more. I want more, more, more!" (9.0)TOTAL: 43.5 | AVERAGE: 8.7Next...
{Spoiler} MAYMAN!Lil Nas X - "Panini"Sambalada: "One of the best hits of this year. Great performance, great music, funny lyrics. However since everyone else is taking risk and going for some left-field choice, I can't help but feel like it's a lazy submission in comparison and I might dock a few points for that." (8.0)MoD: "This song is one of the catchiest hit songs of last year. Its beat is really good as well but Lil Nas X is at a performance peak at here, this song is just so much fun to listen to." (9.2)Lukas: "This song is a complete jam, but the vocals bring it down for me." (7.6)Charmander: "I'm not surprised to see a Lil Nas X song this round. But Panini is one of my favorite hits of 2019. I love the production, his voice, and a unique meaning are all factors of why this is a great song." (9.0)Surf: "Whoever chose this song has balls, and I pray to God they don't go home! They're in luck since I'm a sucker for a catchy pop tune. The Nirvana interpolation was handled really well. While Nas X's voice isn't the best: the energy and the hook of this song is undeniable. It's short time is perfect to help the song feel fresh and prevent it from dragging out too much. And i just genuinely love Lil Nas X so <3" (8.3)TOTAL: 42.1 | AVERAGE: 8.42Next...
{Spoiler} TRILOGY!The Smiths - "This Charming Man"Sambalada: "Ignoring his problematic side, Morrissey is definitely one of the best vocalists of all time. This song is not one of their best but it still moves my heart." (8.3)MoD: "As big as a fan of The Smiths I am, I had never heard this song. Now I just wonder, why hadn't I heard it? This is a beautiful song, that bass line is simply gorgeous and as always, Morrissey delivers an amazing performance." (9.7)Lukas: "The vocals and music fit perfectly with a song like this. Don’t think I’ve heard this song before, so this is quite a great discovery." (9.2)Charmander: "I thought it’d be better than the other smiths song cuz the beginning seemed promising and more upbeat, but then was let down throughout the rest of the song. It’s not bad, but not for me." (6.0)Surf: "Ah, I ask and I receive! A second helping of The Smiths! I like Morrissey's voice more in the down-tempo kind of songs, but this song certainly has a groove to it. I like it, but I'm not in love with it. You certainly don't want to choose a weaker song by the same artist as someone else in the roster." (7.5)TOTAL: 40.7 | AVERAGE: 8.14Next...
{Spoiler} WALT91!Soft Cell - "Tainted Love"Sambalada: "Hands down one of the best songs of all time. Every aspects of the song blend together to create this perfect pop song. It's a cover done right, it takes the song to a whole another level." (9.8)MoD: "This production is flawless, the vocals are great and it's just so catchy. Really an amazing song where everything is on point." (9.2)Lukas: "There’s not much that I like about this song. The lyrics are good, but the vocals and production are quite mediocre. I find this song to be incredibly overrated as well." (3.5)Charmander: "Heard this so much when I was a kid on my AC radio, that I got kind of sick of it lol. But I love the production, just a catchy song, though it seems longer than three minutes lol." (7.0)Surf: "One of the best songs of the '80s decade! The fuzzy vocals, the eerie and dark synths, the "BUM-BUM!... runaway" hook never gets old! Sublime retro pop." (9.3)TOTAL: 38.8 | AVERAGE: 7.76Next...
{Spoiler} JUG!Queen - "Stone Cold Crazy"Sambalada: "It's a good song but I can't really enjoy it. For a hard rock song, it needs to have a catchier hook for me to get into it and this song doesn't." (3.8)MoD: "This goes hard. I'm usually hit or miss with Queen but this was definitely a hit. The song is so fun and it makes you feel good even if you're down, it's like the opposite of boring." (9.0)Lukas: "Nowhere near their best songs but this song is a jam." (7.0)Charmander: "Not my favorite from queen, really like the energy though." (6.5)Surf: "Now, I'm a sucker for Queen, but this is not their finest hour in my opinion. The song is jarring and quick-paced, it's dizzying and gives me anxiety. Okay... maybe that's a little extreme, but this is not my personal cup of tea. I will say, I always appreciate Freddy Mercury's voice." (6.3)TOTAL: 32.6 | AVERAGE: 6.52Next...
{Spoiler} BIGFAN!Kelsea Ballerini - "homecoming queen?"Sambalada: "Not a big fan of Kelsea in general but this is one of the better songs I've heard from her. The lyrics are great." (6.8)MoD: "I think you people should have realized you're not gonna get me with these kind of country. I found this to be pretty uninteresting and basic, nothing really stood out on this song although the vocals were nice." (3.5)Lukas: "This is a nice song but how this song is put together makes it quite uninteresting. It’s really not for me." (6.0)Charmander: "I don't know too many songs from Kelsea but she’s a good vocalist. But this song is more lyrically focused, and the lyrics were kind of hit or miss for me. I get where she’s coming from, but certain parts the tone felt kind of off. That’s just how I felt, but overall it’s decent." (6.8)Surf: "One of my favorite country songs of the past year! The lyrics, the stripped-down/acoustic production, and her voice all come together to sell the vulnerability and reliability this song needs - and so often I feel country songs in the same lane lack." (8.5)TOTAL: 31.6 | AVERAGE: 6.32The last person to escape the bottom two is...
{Spoiler} HAMED!Tinashe feat. Ms. Banks - "Die A Little Bit"Sambalada: "The production is great. The audio sample is kinda all over the place but overall the song is such a jam." (7.5)MoD: "Now this was just mediocre in my opinion. I sometimes like Tinashe but this was not it, the song felt kinda uninspired for me, it's like she didn't put any trying on it." (4.0)Lukas: "The vocals and beat here are great. I really like the production as well. Overall, this is a great song." (8.5)Charmander: "I usually like Tinashe as I think she has a pretty good voice. This song does not use that asset, and pretty much everything else annoys me like the two kids talking, or the chorus, I guess the verses are ok but this wasn’t very good as a whole, sorry." (3.5)Surf: "She's getting a whole point deduction for whatever that intro was... luckily, the rest of the song bops. Tinashe really deserves so much more. She has better, but this song is absolutely solid. The vocal samples are kind of cute, they work a lot more in a club atmosphere I'm sure." (8.0)TOTAL: 31.5 | AVERAGE: 6.3Which means the bottom two is...
{Spoiler} CARRIE & LEOCarrie, this is your second time here. You've been struggling to please the judges from the first round and you did manage to impress the judges last round, but this time it's not enough. Will your good luck save you this time?Leo, your performance has been all over the place. You barely dodged the bottom two when Carrie was there and but you just served your best performance so far last round. Will your inconsistency cost you the competition?The person who get to stay another week is...
{Spoiler} CARRIE!Shania Twain - "Up! (Red Version)"Sambalada: "Shania's vocals are on-point and the instrumental is great. However, together they don't really match each other. Still a good song though." (6.9)MoD: "God was this bad. I usually feel meh towards Shania Twain but this was definitely not good. The chorus is really obnoxious and the background vocals are really cliche, nothing that stands out except the annoying melodies." (2.2)Lukas: " This is one of Shania’s weaker hits. The vocals and production are really good, as always, but the instrumentation is kinda bad." (6.2)Charmander: "Shania Twain is pretty decent, this song has a nice melody. Her voice needed a little time to get used to, but overall a fine song." (6.8)Surf: "This Canadian, Trump-loving bitch... I really wish I loved this track more. Nothing about it really connects with me, the production doesn't completely work it's just all a little too polished? It's a very style-over-substance track." (6.8)TOTAL: 28.9 | AVERAGE: 5.78Just like the last time you landed in bottom two, you're lucky the person you landed here with is far and away the biggest flop. You may not be as lucky next time, remember when Au$tin got eliminated by a mere .1?Which means,
{Spoiler} LEO,I'm sorry but you've been eliminated.Carla - "Bim Bam Toi"Sambalada: "The positive side of using foreign songs is you won't be judged on lyrics lol. Sonically, it's quite catchy but overall it doesn't leave a lasting impression." (4.3) MoD: "This is a pretty fun song, I think it's really catchy and it only really falls flat in that it's kind of annoying and although the production was nice, it didn't click with me totally." (6.7) Lukas: "I can’t into this song at all. The vocals and production here are pretty bad, and overall the song is quite annoying. Sorry." (1.4) Charmander: "Sorry didn’t like this that much. The production was all over the place and not very consistent. Sure it’s upbeat but that doesn’t mean quality, sorry." (4.0) Surf: "Um, the French language is beautiful, but you wouldn't know it from this song. It's a little childish to me, very 2012 Alexandra Stan retread vibes. I feel like I've heard this song before and it's been done better." (4.5) TOTAL: 20.9 | AVERAGE: 4.18
There's nothing wrong with sending foreign-language songs but I'm sure the judges will set the bar higher when it comes to non-English songs. Obviously this one failed to reach said standard and unfortunately that means you have to go home. Thank you for participating!
