Tegan and Sara not being elligible truly is a sad reminder that they only have two songs to ever chart here and the most successful one is Everything Is Awesome.

Yep, if they were elligible I would so have sent Walking With A Ghost but unfortunately they aren't and it's just tragic.

Late but as one of Pulse's other noted Kimbra fans, even I don't like 90s Music tbh. The Golden Echo is general is her weakest project by far, I don't use any of it. Her other two albums are so much better.

A 5.4 for "Rhiannon" really isn't making country posters look good! Now a 1.0 for "212"... it's almost like someone wants to tarnish the reputation of country posters

== ROUND 3 - RESULTS ==Welcome to the first elimination ceremony. First of all welcome back SHOOTER to the judging room but instead of as a contestant, you're here as the guest judge. By the end of today, only 13 of you will remain in the competition.
This is a *very* very close round, the player in the 1st place and 6th place are only separated by less than 1 point. You can imagine how tight the competition towards the top is already. The one lucky player who trumps against everyone this week is…
LYHOM!Metric - "Gold Guns Girls"
And you were right to trust your guts. This is honestly an unexpected but welcomed win! Congratulations on your first FCO!
MoD: "Metric are quite consistent from what I've heard by them, and this is no exception." (8.7) Rom: "please stop holding me at gunpoint claire" (7.9) Leaf: "My favourite on Fantasies and one of my favourites of theirs period. Amazing energy throughout the whole song." (10) Tay: (9.6) Max: "This is about in line for me with most Metric I think. Not bad." (6.1) Shooter: "Sounds great in the car." (9.0) TOTAL: 51.3 | AVERAGE: 8.55
The second best is…
SAMO!Metric - "Risk"
I'll be honest, Metric is the last artist I expected to monopolize the top 2 so this is a surprise. And a surprise to you too considering you took a long time to decide on a song but in the end you made the right decision! You only missed .1 point from the FCO. Congratulations!
MoD: "Metric are quite consistent from what I've heard by them, and this is no exception. [2]" (8.5) Rom: "yes" (7.9) Leaf: "This wasn't initially one of my top songs on Art of Doubt (maybe because it reminded me a lot of "Sick Muse" which I like but don't *love*), but I became totally obsessed when I revisited it after a few months. The second half of the song is especially outstanding." (10) Tay: (10) Max: "This is one of the better Metric songs I've heard (my favs are The Shade and Hustle Rose)." (7.8) Shooter: "Also sounds good in the car but I prefer the driving rhythm of GGG more." (7.0) TOTAL: 51.2 | AVERAGE: 8.53
The third best is…
GATES!Broken Social Scene - "Cause = Time"
Well. Your first two choices might have been taken from you but in the end your final pick does better than both of them! So close to getting the FCO too! Congratulations!
MoD: "I love everything about this song, but the guitars, man, THE GUITARS." (10) Rom: "oh yeah dude i love unwound" (9.2) Leaf: "This is enjoyable enough, although their other song here was more to my liking." (7.2) Tay: (8.7) Max: "The lighter of the two BSS songs in round, but there's grit laying barely beneath the surface in the layers of instruments that I really enjoy. I'm only familiar with BSS' 2010 album, but this song itself is more up my alley." (8.4) Shooter: "I liked this one, too." (7.5) TOTAL: 51.0 | AVERAGE: 8.5
Next…
GPKaytranada feat. Kali Uchis - "10%"
MoD: "Such a vibe. 'NUFF SAID 😎🔥💯." (9.0) Rom: "ewwww eww ew ew ew ewwwwwwwwwww i dont like that he has two pupils eeeeeeee aaaaaa" (7.6) Leaf: "This was a jam! Giving "24 Hours" a run for its money in terms of my favourite discovery so far." (8.4) Tay: (9.5) Max: "This song has a nice vibe as nice background music. Certainly wouldn't turn it off but it doesn't do much to keep my attention." (7.3) Shooter: "A proper bop!" (9.0) TOTAL: 50.8 | AVERAGE: 8.47
Next…
CRAPAlvvays - "In Undertow"
MoD: "Beautiful song. I went through a break up really recently, so this song hits a little too close to home at the moment, since the atmosphere and the lyrics are really effective in how they portray it." (9.7) Rom: "idk how to play solitaire molly can you teach me" (9.5) Leaf: "idk why I've never felt that strongly about this, cause it really is up my alley." (7.4) Tay: (9.0) Max: "Two Alvvays songs. All the Canadian acts to choose from. What are the odds?! I'm not sure if this would grab me on its own but I wouldn't turn it off either." (7.9) Shooter: "Livelier than the other one." (7.0) TOTAL: 50.5 | AVERAGE: 8.42
Next…
WHEATStars - "Your Ex-Lover Is Dead"
MoD: "This was really f**king good. I love the instrumentation and their voices, makes for such an interesting mix. For now, it's an 8.7, but I wouldn't be surprised to see it grow eventually." (8.7) Rom: "2. cover yourself in oil" (7.7) Leaf: "For some reason, I never really bothered to get into Stars. This was fine but didn't do much to make me want to, although the strings at the end are a nice touch. also I love how for the album art they basically just slapped a hand over top of The Earth Is Not a Cold Dead Place and called it a day" (6.8) Tay: (8.2) Max: "I saw Stars live once and band leader Torquil Campbell reminded me heavily of Antonio Salieri in the 1984 film Amadeus, where he seemed to play a very commanding and strict role within the band. It's been probably nearly 15 years since I've seen the movie (and the band) but it was a connection I made that stuck with me and has influenced their music to me. It feels very intricate and purposefully controlled, and always interesting." (9.0) Shooter: "Best of the lot." (10) TOTAL: 50.4 | AVERAGE: 8.4
Next…
JAMESBob Moses - "Tearing Me Up"
MoD: "Nostalgia hits hard with this one. Fifa 17 was a hell of a game." (9.7) Rom: "why does rym say this is dream pop? this like. isn't dream pop. this is closer to the white stripes than cocteau twins for gods sake. good song though" (7.2) Leaf: "For some reason I wasn't crazy about this in the past, but I'd say I've warmed up to it gradually. Really smooth." (7.6) Tay: (8.5) Max: "Yeah, this is something I'd probably listen to voluntarily." (8.5) Shooter: "Love the hypnotic groove." (8.0) TOTAL: 49.5 | AVERAGE: 8.25
Next…
WILLAPTEDMac DeMarco - "Chamber Of Reflections"
MoD: "Probably my favorite Mac DeMarco song. I am in love with the synths, and it has such a relaxing vibe, great song." (9.5) Rom: "the synths uuuuuuhhhhhhhhhhh" (9.0) Leaf: "Out of his albums, Salad Days is the one that stuck with me the most, and this is one of its most solid cuts for sure IMO." (8.4) Tay: (7.8) Max: "This song is kind of trippy. I like that!" (8.6) Shooter: "I like the vibe of it more than the actual song." (6.0) TOTAL: 49.3 | AVERAGE: 8.22
Next…
FILTHYMac DeMarco - "Freaking Out The Neighborhood"
MoD: "Great guitar line, and I've come to realize I actually love the way he sings, should check him out more." (9.0) Rom: "wait i didnt know mac demarco could have energy" (7.4) Leaf: "Can't believe he forgot the u in 'Neighbourhood' smh some Canadian he is" (7.8) Tay: (8.0) Max: "This song is kind of chill. I like that!" (8.0) Shooter: "One of my faves from Mac." (8.0) TOTAL: 48.2 | AVERAGE: 8.03
Next…
TRILOGYAlvvays - "Dreams Tonite"
MoD: "Really nice song, but I have yet to connect with it as much as the rest seem to." (8.7) Rom: "this song just feels like time stops. what a perfect little song. i want to give it a little kiss on the cheek" (10) Leaf: "My rating for this kept going up the more I relistened. This is just really pretty and dreamy (no pun intended) and easy to get lost in." (8.3) Tay: (8.4) Max: "I really didn't get the hype over "Archie, Marry Me" when Alvvays first came out. Despite being from a musical family royalty in my province, I didn't think Molly was a great singer . This song definitely leaves a better impression on me, but it doesn't win me over to the band." (7.2) Shooter: "Kinda sleepy" (5.0) TOTAL: 47.6 | AVERAGE: 7.93
Next…
HAMEDGrimes - "Oblivion"
MoD: "Synthpop perfection. It's so catchy but yet so honest, Grimes should be proud of having been able of writing something as good as this." (10) Rom: "oooOOOOOOoooooOOOOOooooooOOOOOOO aaaAAAaaaaAAAAAAA" (10) Leaf: "She will probably never top the Visions singles for me. I have always loved basically everything about this, from the dreamy, ethereal vibe to her airy vocals. Also a lot of nostalgia associated with it, which helps too (even if it honestly takes me back to some not-so-great times, funnily enough)." (10) Tay: (5.5) Max: "I'm not really feeling this but I can't really put my finger on why... It sounds like she's trying too hard to be original or different? Idk. It kind of sounds amateurish, especially in comparison to her other song in this round. :/" (5.1) Shooter: "Never been a fan of this." (4.0) TOTAL: 44.6 | AVERAGE: 7.43
The last name to escape the bottom two is…
BENOBroken Social Scene - "7/4 (Shoreline)"
I hope the the trend of barely escaping the bottom two after being in the bottom two the round before isn't gonna last long. I like the unexpected choice but it's hard to appeal to all judges. But still, you're safe for this week, babe. Congratulations.
MoD: "Well this song is what made me check out Cause = Time so it's obviously going to be really good." (8.7) Rom: "is this song in 7/4? if it isnt im going to be furious" ({7/4} 8.6 ) Leaf: "My favourite parts of this would have to be where it gets a bit chaotic instrumentally. Oh, and Feist, of course. :kii:" (7.7) Tay: (5.4) Max: "I'm going to guess the 7/4 is the song's time signature, because it's instantly unusual. The song is okay." (6.9) Shooter: "I liked the drums." (7.0) TOTAL: 44.3 | AVERAGE: 7.38
Which means the bottom two is…

Moving on to the next round is…
MAYMAN!Grimes - "Realiti"
MoD: "The demo outsold." (6.2) Rom: "the demo is better" (7.9) Leaf: "Not my fave from Art Angels but it's still pretty good." (7.6) Tay: (8.3) Max: "This is the better of the two Grimes songs for sure. The oddities aren't overwhelming and work in the song's favour." (8.0) Shooter: "This is a more listenable bop from her." (5.0) TOTAL: 43.0 | AVERAGE: 7.12
How quickly can a hero falls. You just win the first round two rounds ago and now you're already less than 2 points away from going home. Thank your lucky stars you are still in the running!
Which means…
RECORDYEAR, I'm sorry, you have been eliminated.
Colter Wall - "Kate McCannon"
MoD: "I really like this kind of americana-like country, and this is no exception. Great voice as well." (8.5) Rom: "hi recordyear" (8.7) Leaf: "I'm kind of shocked I haven't heard of Colter Wall, even if his genre isn't one I dabble in much. The slightly gravelly vocals aren't bad at all. I also liked how the instrumental started to pick up near the end, but I wish that there was something even more climactic going on?" (6.9) Tay: (5.0) Max: "Colter Wall is the only name in this round I've never heard before. Maybe it's because he's pretty much full-on old country. And to my surprise, he's only 26 (22 when this song was recorded?). Idk if I'd come back to this song much on its own, but I'm intrigued by the artist because old country > mainstream country and might check him out!" (8.3) Shooter: "Not a fan of the voice." (4.0) TOTAL: 41.4 | AVERAGE: 6.9
I love your song and I think it deserves better but unfortunately some of the judges don't share the same opinion as mine. I will continue side-eyeing them in the weeks to come. You came in here with will to represent the country tunes and you have sent some country bangers throughout your short time here but sadly your journey must end here. Thank you for participating!

In Undertow might be one of my favorite songs ever, the vibe of it is unreal.
I definitely understand the low scores for Oblivion. I used to not understand the hype for the song, but with more listens it grew on me massively.

Neko Case would've been a good choice for Canadian country I think
(on that note, kind of surprised no New Pornographers showed up)
