Song Contest 109 (Results posted!)

[Max]

Ehhh... I guess 9 hours makes this doable.

[SnowStorm]

Here are my very informative in-depth reviews for this contest:

Fiji - Eh, not feeling it.
The Federated States of Micronesia - Eh, just another guy with an acoustic guitar.
Japan - Ok. Similar to the previous one, but more interesting.
Libya - It's cool.
Central African Republic - Ok.
Hong Kong - Next.
Sweden - Nehh.
Taiwan - Ok, it's nice enough.
Syria - Sounds just like the other 5000 or so songs from this genre that have been entered in previous SC's. Pass.
Spain - omg, it's those "move your feet" guys. Nice enough. Catchy.
Azerbaijan - Ehhhh, no..
Western Sahara - Meh.
USA - Surprisingly, I'm enjoying this.
Uruguay - Nice, even if it isn't my kind of song.
Hungary - No.
Slovenia - Dat album cover... Who listens to this stuff?
Serbia - Another country story song.
Australia - Ohkay...
Canada - Was expecting this to be way loger. Ok.
Seychelles - Hmmmmkay, not my thing.
Nicaragua - Meh.
Chad - I don't mind this.
Comoros - These people are sick. Didn't they watch Toy Story? Song is ok, I guess.
Lithuania - I like it.
Italy - What's with all the 2009 entries? Meh.
Bhutan - K. Flay is one of my favorite SC discoveries. Cool song.

I'm gunning for a 0!

[Zachstralkita]

Fiji - This shit actually ride lmao
Micronesia - I liked the second half way better. It's probably what I'd listen to the song for.
Japan - Comforting
Libya - I did like the start
CAR - yes
Hong Kong - LMAO Kuroi WYD
Sweden - Yeah I fuck with it once it gets going. Only the middle holds my interest strongly
Taiwan - I like this. Vocals are interesting, I think they make the song cozy.
Syria - Was alright, don't know that I'd play it in it's entirety again
Spain - I think I'm okay with all the parts except the parts where it goes get get get. Which is still a decent amount of the song
Azerbaijan - not sure if i can get into this
Western Sahara - This left me desiring something but I don't actually know what it is that I desire
USA - no complaints. would I listen to this tho no
Uruguay - Lmao I can't think of anything but American Gangster with the title and chorus. Song is actually pretty groovy tho. Yeah, I like this.
Hungary - Nothing really wrong with this. Just feels like I'd be fine listening to this but wouldn't choose to at all otherwise..
Slovenia - I like this except for the softer parts actually.
Serbia - um. ok
Australia - I'll admit that it's catchy
Canada - yes
Seychelles - I didn't want to submit this song because it only partially shows how these guys are some of the best lyricists I've ever heard(up with Nas, Immortal Technique, Eminem etc) and it doesn't have a verse from Possessed which is probably a cardinal sin. Then I guess I didn't care too much cause most people wouldn't get into it and it's still a really solid track. This is probably Skirmish's best verse(1st) and I've always loved the instrumental.
Nicaragua - Wow, I think I liked this. I don't know. Did I? Probably yes? Wasn't bad
Chad - not the option i'm going to but it's not unlistenable. Better than Hungary I think? I got into this more as the song went along I think
Comoros - I don't think I can do this
Lithuania - eh
Italy - I lowkey fuck with this
Bhutan - Wasn't bad at all actually.

I couldn't remember voting when I made my post, so I submitted a votes form just now.
If that's the second one, then I'm sorry for continuing to cause you trouble Mr. Contest

[Sesq]

Fiji - good, for anime music.
Micronesia - good at playing the thing, other than that eh
Japan - ugh
Libya - good, some jazz music instead of another white dude with a guitar. it's very good jazz music, too.
CAR - well made old stuff, i can count on CAR for this
Hong Kong - why are these meme songs so often almost actually kind of good what the fuck
sweden - FUCK edm
taiwan - this is mine and i like it.
Syria - holy shit this guy cant do anything vocal hahhahahaha. the part leading up to 5min was good, doesnt save the song tho
Spain - fucking white people
Azerbaijan - this feels like a meme
Western Sahara - FUCK trip hop
USA - overproduced anime garbage
Uruguay - didnt remember it was kinda nice tho
Hungary - aggressively terrible
slovenia - wtf i forgot it because its 4am and i realized im missing this """"review"""" but i remember it being generally unpleasant
Serbia - HAHA LMAO XD
Australia - FUCK indie pop
Canada - good composition
Seychelles - o fuck
Nicaragua - FUCK indie pop (again, but less so)
Chad - nah
Comoros - FUCK indie pop BUT THE MOST
Lithuania - this is not a real guitar and i am very bothered
Italy - this is such a sloppy mess but for some reason i find myself lowkey attracted to it on that merit??? idk. i think this is one of those songs thats enjoyable because its 4am and i crave weird things at this hour HAHAAHA WHAT THE FUCK AM I WATCHING IS THIS SOME BRILLIANT SATIRE OF GOVERNMENT SURVEILLANCE i need to sleep
bhutan - this is like the current worst trends in pop music except its not popular for some reason im unable to discern. im not like some fuckin elitist rockist like i bang the shit outta rick astley and bilal (if you consider him pop, i do kinda) is like legit the best songwriter of this decade (even tho he been around since the 90s but whatever) but this feels like the recent wave of boring gutless instrumentals and stuff to that degree that has gotten really old on me. not the worst tho (if you cant tell, night me and day me are pretty different people, this is even a shock to me)

theres my ratings, stylishly late

seriously i need to fuckin get my life in order

overall thoughts on the contest is that it sucked in comparison to others, and i say that due to actually having less in the higher categories. still a bunch of indie pop and anime shit. surprised by the lack of late 90s-early 00s edge tho

im glad we got the signature good hip hop song, along with some good jazz

overall moral of the contest is that white people dont know how to make music goodnight

[Zachstralkita]

Seychelles - o fuck

Was finna enter one of these tbh, second was my first entry

I'd recommend you listen to State of Lunacy album start to finish if you feel you'd enjoy it

[Mina]

Bah, sorry, the past couple of weeks have been hectic so I left it until yesterday, but then I wound up having computer problems at work and then falling asleep in the middle of listening to songs last night.

I feel really awful for not voting, because so many people were cut from this one and I took up a slot. (I could try listening to the other thirteen songs before results if they're going to be late, but then my votes would be basically random, so maybe it's more fair to everyone if I just take the penalty.)

I started my internship and had a weird sex vacation, I couldn't do it, sry friends

*drum roll*

[Song Contest]

omg I just noticed that there are two australias and no comoros in the results.

ugh.

let me figure this out.

[Song Contest]

ok this should be a pretty simple fix. I just copied the original final entry list without remembering to change the syntax. Fortunately, some changes I've made on the back end will make it easier to go back and fix the other results posts.

So lemme do all those real quick and then I'll get back to the final results.

[Song Contest]

Done. Final results soon!

Congratulations to Errantparabola!

Bomberman (Libya), Panzerjager (Bhutan), Mina (Nicaragua), IaShoggoth (Japan) and Mac (Lithuania) failed to vote. They take a 20-point penalty, will be banned from entering the next contest and must wash the dishes.

[toolenduso]

Congrats EP! Lol the top three were all in my top 5.

Also, I made the top 10! That was better than I was expecting, especially seeing the written reviews coming in. Good stuff. Thanks to Jurgen for the 12.

[BigYoshiFan]

Congrats EP!

[Plotinus]

congrats EP!

[Parama]

I might listen to the top three songs whenever, whatever
