As much as I love "Tim McGraw" I'm fearing that it won't perform that well...
If I were competing I might've tried this with the fear of flopping but it's such a feel-good song!

Fun fact, the first four songs I tried to send for the roadblock all got taken so let's hope the fifth time's the charm 😌

DAMN if I did the roadblock I would've sent this, with the fear of flopping Stream the azeri-egytpian queen. Tim McGraw and Cleopatra were...choices to say the least Now that's a missed opportunity. Eurovision crew coming through with THAT bop  *Hears MoD's sigh of relief in the distance* |

scoring their second straight win we have... 1. The Mild Dislikers of Justin Bieber (@matthewlam & tanooki )Overall Score: 72 | Detour Rank: #2 | Roadblock Rank: #3 | Bonus From Last Leg: +2.3Detour Results:(One Hit)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: a pop classic. I love the piano based melody, and the lyrics are really cute! the vocals are also quite good. overall this is just a super strong and fun track! (9.3)Samo: I’m always surprised by just how liked this is, but it’s not like I disagree. The song is wonderful throughout, with an amazing main piano melody and a good vocal performance. The one issue I have with this song is very minor - the synth that comes in the last couple seconds of the song feels so out of place, and this would have an even better score from me without it. (9.1)Enya: “White Houses” was a hit in my heart, ok?! Anywho, “A Thousand Miles” is beautiful with its butterfly wing piano and staccato strings but I think something is missing with her vocals. The song never truly picks up to get me to wanna fully jam out. (8.0)Jaden: Yup, I love this song. Easily the best pick out of these. If I could rate it 11/10 I would. (10)Overall Score: 36.4Roadblock Results:(Sent by Matt)Judge's Thoughts:Nick: god I love this song. the guitars are very strong, and I have a huge soft spot for Rivers Cuomo’s voice. the lyrics are pretty solid too. overall, this is just a fantastic song haha (10)
Samo: I have a hard time enjoying a lot of Weezer’s music, especially their cheesier songs, but this isn’t bad at all. Rivers’ vocals aren’t amazing, but the production is really good, and the lyrical sentiment is cute. (7.9)
BobPatience: Buddy Holly the artist was fantastic, 'Buddy Holly' the song is good, but uninteresting, I would have preferred a famous person named 'Hash Pipe'. Though at least the song helps awareness for one of the tragic deaths in Pop history. (7.0)
James: “Buddy Holly” is a really catchy song. Weezer’s new music tends to leave a lot to be desired, but their old music always still kicks. “Buddy Holly” is one of Weezer’s bests. It showcases some of the goofiness that is Rivers Cuomo, to go along with a super solid riff, and just downright infectious. (8.4)
Overall Score: 33.3
congrats on taking home yet another win! you two will be getting a +2.1 bonus next leg |
