Hide & Seek by Imogen Heap would've been my go to pick had I been a contestant. I thought about sending this one! But I thought it could possibly interpreted to not be about family issues/divorce so I ultimately decided against it.

I have 4 siblings which makes for a loud family. A couple of them don’t live with me right now, I do enjoy the peacefulness that having fewer people around brings but I also miss them at times.

I do have siblings but, considering I have already maximized my roleplay points, I don't feel obliged to answer

== ROUND 10 - RESULTS ==Welcome to the tenth elimination ceremony. Only 4 of you will still remain in the competition by the end of the day.
Without further ado, the FCO for this round is…
MOD!CHVRCHES - "The Mother We Share"
With this, you are now leading the FCO leaderboard with three FCOs this season. Very impressive! Now watch out for the consecutive FCOs curse...
Gates: (7.0) APM: (8.0) Wrip: "This has got to be my favorite Chvrches song. There’s a feeling of reminiscing and nostalgia that I associate with this." (9.9) Samo: (9.9) Will: "Surprised this hasn’t won a round in Last Stand before, really excels on all levels for me and is one of my all-time favourites. Production is so amazing, Lauren’s vocals are killer and the chorus is huge." (9.7) Hamed: "Just the pinnacle song that represents all the best traits of CHVRCHES, a bop with lots of heart and earnest." (9.6) Adrian: "I remember this song so well as it was my first ever introduction to CHVRCHES. Still holds up quite well over the years!" (9.0) Recordyear: "The better one of the two songs I have heard before this set. Got great uses of "o-o"s going along with the synths, and the anthemic chorus. However, I expect the actual but not figurative family relationships content, so some marks are deducted." (8.0) JUDGES: 71.1 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 73.1
The second best is…
REPUTAINBOW!Suzanne Vega - "Luka"
Bouncing back but still not yet FCO. Keep your head up you're part of the top 4 – only two rounds left until the finale!
Gates: (8.8) APM: (8.3) Wrip: "Not huge on this but it’s not bad either." (7.6) Samo: (9.4) Will: "I haven’t heard this song many times but it hit super hard on this listen. These lyrics are heartbreaking. Overall sound of the song doesn’t wow me but it does its job." (8.7) Hamed: "One of my favorite hits from the 80s,I just love the story of the song about child abuse told through the perspective of a child and the dichotomy of the ambiguous yet sad songwriting to the vibrant 80s style pop production is interesting since it ties the story of a boy living in a facade together really well. I have no clue if that was intentional but it really makes the song tbh." (9.8) Adrian: "This is a nice discovery! She has a really pretty voice and I love this instrumental! Gonna have to add this to my rotation!" (9.3) Recordyear: "I am aware of the artist but neither listened to her song, so color me surprised when this is my favorite discovery and imo the best song of this set. Sure it is another song that has dark lyrics (in this case child abuse) with warm melody, but I found them haunting. The melody can fit in some 90s country songs (in particular Mary Chapin Carpenter's) despite being from the 80s I swear. I like her vocals too." (8.5) JUDGES: 70.0 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 72.0
Next…
FILTHYKanye West - "Family Business"
Gates: (8.4) APM: (9.5) Wrip: (8.2) Samo: (8.3) Will: "When people say “I miss the old Kanye” this is (musically) why. Perfect blend of humour and sincerity that you’ll only find on these early Ye albums. Combine that with the gentle piano beat and backing vocals and you’ve got yourself a musical masterclass." (9.6) Hamed: "I've never been so huge on this one as much as others are but from a songwriting and theme standpoint it is great stuff. It's still good but I simply don't love it anywhere as much as I do the other songs here." (8.4) Adrian: "Bold move to be sending K*nye at this point in time. This is admittedly one of his better songs, but not very memorable." (7.6) Recordyear: "Risks were taken to send any Kanye songs after the news, but great songs are still great. This is a more down-to-earth song from him with non-offensive humor and showing what happens in the family stays in the family, which is relatable especially in Chinese society. It reminds what he is capable of as a lyricist." (8.2) JUDGES: 68.2 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 70.2
Which means the bottom two is…
LEO & WALT

Last person to advance to the next round is... WALT!Rina Sawayama - "Paradisin'"
Gates: (6.3) APM: (7.6) Wrip: "Probably the first song of hers I feel like I really got into. I’m obsessed with the instrumental!" (9.0) Samo: (7.6) Will: "A really solid choice. I like a lot of the production choices here and the song is super catchy. I also like the lyrics here, the personal stories in the verses are a nice touch and enhance the chorus." (8.5) Hamed: "I just wanna listen to this and envision myself riding on Rainbow Road N64, it has grown on me so much with each listen." (9.7) Adrian: "The vibe of this song is not exactly what I was expecting for this theme. I like a handful of the songs from this album, but this one is kind of mid to be honest. I don't vibe with the overproduction here." (7.0) Recordyear: "Whoever sent this probably hope me to be the last extra judge, but I just don't get the hype of Rina Sawayama at all, at least from her two albums. It inherits the overproduction of some J-pop songs, and the bit-pop as arcade game sound gimmick isn't that creative in 2020 anymore. Lyrically it's just a story of rebellious teenager versus her mother, which is fine but not as interesting as others either." (5.8) JUDGES: 61.5 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 63.5 OVERALL SCORE: 684.2
You have your track record to thank for you staying here. You're in the top 4 now but you better pull all stops for the last two themes because you'll be competing with 3 powerhouses there. Good luck!
Which means...
LEO, I'm sorry but you've been eliminated.
Lucy Dacus - "My Mother & I"
Gates: (6.7) APM: (8.6) Wrip: (8.1) Samo: (8.4) Will: "Strong lyrics and a nice instrumental but ultimately not the most engaging song to me." (7.7) Hamed: "Another artist I've been meaning to do a deep dive for, this is a really pretty and poignant discovery that is very beautifully written." (9.0) Adrian: "That is one pretty instrumental, and I've always been a fan of her voice as well." (8.4) Recordyear: "Lucy Dacus is my least favorite member of boygenius as I just don't particularly like her vocals, at least from the songs I have heard, but I like the songwriting angle the most out of all songs in this set. She blends the physical attributes of her biological mother and mentality of the adoptive mother. There are also interesting chord changes to keep me engage in the song. If only it was sung by a better vocalist instead..." (7.2) JUDGES: 64.1 | ROLEPLAY: 2.0 PENALTY: -2.0
WEEKLY SCORE: 64.1 OVERALL SCORE: 655.9
You saw this coming and I'm just happy that you're content with this elimination. You always bring something fresh to every playlist and I really appreciate that you're not afraid to take risk more than everyone including the top 4, and that you survive this long is the sign that your risk game paid off. You come here after four trials on the casting round, and you didn't waste a second once you're given the chance to compete. Top 5! Very impressive. Thank you for participating!
