Lola Blanc - Real Boy
I got nothing about this one. All I could think the entire time was "sounds like she wants to be perceived as a bad girl but fails doing so". I don't know, I looked her up and she looked exactly like I thought she would look. I know this all seems unrelated about the song, but it actually is. It's a bland song, that's it.
Score: 4 out of 10
Bartees Strange - Heavy Heart
Better than the previous one, but just because it's a style I dig more. Actually no, that would be unfair: I really liked how the song started and the beat of the drums following the rythm of the voice of the singer was a really nice touch, but overall it didn't have that 'wow' factor that makes me wanna listen the song again or know more about the author/band.
Score: 6 out of 10
Odette - Mandible
Not bad. Not great either.
Score: 5 out of 10
Lil Uzi Vert ft. Bring Me the Horizon - Werewolf
I appreciate the effort of doing a collab that mixes a bunch of music styles that would usually clash with each other. The result is what it is: an emo song remenicing the early 2000s. Is that good or bad? It's not for me, but it's well executed.
Score: 3 out of 10
Beverly Glenn-Copeland - Colour of Anyhow
Well yeah, of course I would love this one. But the flute, oh my. Adding lady Beverly into my list right now. Thank you OP (schadd, if I had to guess?)
Score: 10 out of 10
Måns Zelmerlöw - Fire in the Rain/Heroes
This was a fun experience but for the wrong reasons, like in an ironic way; I didn't like neither of the songs, but mixed together I liked them even less. The staging was fantastic though!
Score: 3.5 out of 10
Lauv - Drugs & The Internet
Not bad! Not great either! (I believe the exclamation points actually make a difference here)
Score: 5.5 out of 10
Yesterday's World - Circulatory System
Solid, beatlesque song. Only problem is that they should've gone for the Beatles route and let the song end before the 3 minute mark instead of over extending it with an instrumental ending. If it wasn't for that, they would've left me wanting more instead of just waiting for it to end.
Score: 8 out of 10
Chloe Adams - Dead to Me
This one made me angry, for real. Stupid ass lyrics, rhyming "to me" with "to me", 3 out of 4 verses in the chorus ending with the same wording, and at the end of the song she actually cut the words out to make it even more evident, was she trying to piss me off on purpose? I don't know, I didn't expect anything and I got even less than that.
Score: 2 out of 10
Asian Kung-Fu Generation - Rock'n Roll, Morning Light Falls on You
Fun instruments, but didn't love his voice. The chorus was plain bad with him trying to hit the high notes.
Score: 4.5 out of 10
Sorry - Perfect
Indie meh

Sam Cooke - Bring It On Home to Me
I'm on a soul phase right now. I picked this one for no particular reason, just felt like y'all need some soul too.
Score: Soul out of 10
Sky Eats Airplane - Numbers
You know the saying, "it's not a song contest if there's no shouting".
Score: 2.5 out of 10
Nina Strauss ft. Alisa White-Gluz - The Wolf You Need
Lol. No but actually, loved the guitar solo, for real! And kudos, I didn't know women could sound like that!
Score: 6 out of 10
Asja Kadric - Fear Not This Night
Don't know anything about the game, but her voice is astonishing.
Score: 7 out of 10
