Lebanon (Studio Killers) - Not bad. I don't hate it by any means. It's catchy. I think it lacks a real punch, but it's not bad at all. (B)
Iceland (Huntsmen) - This kind of dissonant sparse metal never really clicks with me. I'm sure it's great but I just can't get into it. (C-)
Hungary (Peter Murphy) - It's a little boring and muddled. Maybe something I'd put on shuffle but it'd be 50/50 whether I'd skip it. (B-)
São Tomé and Príncipe (Jim van der Zee) - This guy has a voice like Johnny Cash, which is great. It's unfortunate the musicality of it is really bland. But points for a good interesting voice and style. (B)
Japan (Amy Winehouse) - I can't believe this was never submitted before? It feels like cheating. Rest in Peace, Amy. What a fucking goddess. (A-)
Greece (Polina Gagarina) - Don't hate this at all. I feel like it takes a weird tonal shift midway through? Not understanding the language is a barrier for me to get the whole song. (B-)
Slovenia (Avatar) - As soon as I saw this band preview I knew I'd hate it. (F)
United Kingdom (Emily Haines & The Soft Skeleton) - Has potential. Could be generic, could be good. And... it didn't go anywhere. Missed opportunity. (C+)
Burkina Faso (Paus) - This is pretty great. Like, actually good? I wish I could understand it though, it would heavily increase my enjoyment. (B+)
Yemen (Art Blakey & the Jazz Messengers) - I'm sure this type of stuff is like jizzworthy to the people who can appreciate it. I'm an idiot though. (C+)
Djibouti (Tessa Violet) - I don't even know. This feels like something I should be in love with but it's just SO generic and has no bite to it, even when it's trying to be sassy. I'm sure that means 2 months from now it'll be on one of my Spotify playlists. (B)
USA (Greyhaven) - This certainly has an audience. I assume. (F)
Singapore (CIKI) - Anime? In my Christian song contest? Voice is super generic, so is the music. (C+)
Democratic People's Republic of Korea (Mike B) - Mike B isn't half bad. Probably not the best pick? But with a contest this meh so far, this is probably getting points. (B)
Egypt (Semisonic) - I mean sure. It's fine. Everyone has heard this already. It's nothing special. Maybe if I hadn't been desensitized to it by every single bar in America playing this at 2AM to get people out, I would welcome it as some nostalgiac blast from the past. (C)
Luxembourg (Blind Guardian) - This certainly has an audience. I assume. (F)
Central African Republic (Talking Heads) - Great pick. Getting points. (B+)
Anguila (J.I.D.) - Digging this. Not revolutionary, but good enough. (B)
Chad (Lights) - This is exactly the type of thing I should love but it just hits too many cliches for me. Plenty of other pop artists released similar songs in the past year and did it better. (C+)
Latvia (Pendulum) - This feels like a track that was cut from the original Matrix movie. It's a lot of noise? And then more noise comes in on top of that noise. (C)green shirt thursdays-

1. Reck is being chill about this and you keep responding like he's not, so maybe stop.In post 86, KidAmn wrote:

2. I'm not an Amy Winehouse fan and even I know she was a hell of a singer. "Middling" is a pretty silly way to describe her talent.
3. If you're really gonna start dragging musicians for {abusing drugs, abusing alcohol, dying from it, making bad relationship decisions} you're gonna head down a road that leads to hating a ton of talented musicians."Half of the game is figuring out who the scum is. The other half is convincing everyone else that you're right." -- PlaysWithSquirrels, in Newbie 437-

1. Nah, Reck is doing this "quote myself again" schtick for the amusement of whatever little clique they're part of here, so they're about 6 fuckwads from chill and know it, and are presumably a big enough boy/girl/attack helicopter to not need you to leap to their defenceIn post 88, toolenduso wrote:

2. I grew up in London and had the opportunity to hear her live at various points on her slide of a career and wouldn't personally describe her as a "hell of a singer" or even a particularly unique talent, but w/e,opinions
3. i was saying that calling her a "goddess" is ridiculous, for fuck sake
Man, if this is how whiny you people get when someone has the gall to merelyhold an opinion contrary to the groupthink, no wonder this place is dying off now-

Clique? You and Panzer are here dragging Amy Winehouse and Reck has, up to this point, been the only one responding. Are you dragging experiences from other parts of the site here?In post 89, KidAmn wrote:1.

I wouldn't call it leaping to the defense of Reck so much as leaping to the defense of reasonable discourse. Here's what I saw: Reck said he liked somebody (fine) -> You said you didn't (fine) -> he disagreed (fine) -> you insulted her three times in one sentence (aggressive) -> Reck made a joke, indicating he didn't want to make a big deal out of it (fine) -> you insult his intelligence and say you don't care about his musical tastes in contest based around exploring each other's musical tastes (aggressive and unnecessary)
You went after an artist he liked way more than you had to, in an insulting manner and then called him an idiot with bad tastes. If he were responding proportionally he would've done a hell of a lot more than make a jokey non-response, yet here we are.
Opinions, sure. Let's leave it at that.In post 89, KidAmn wrote:2. I grew up in London and had the opportunity to hear her live at various points on her slide of a career and wouldn't personally describe her as a "hell of a singer" or even a particularly unique talent, but w/e,opinions
Fair enough, but I still find it weird to judge a musician's musicianship/music based on non-musical things. Especially when a lot of people who are definitely all-time talents have done a lot of the same shit.In post 89, KidAmn wrote:3. i was saying that calling her a "goddess" is ridiculous, for fuck sake
There's a difference between expressing an unpopular opinion and calling somebody an idiot with bad tastes while insulting somebody they like.In post 89, KidAmn wrote:Man, if this is how whiny you people get when someone has the gall to merelyhold an opinion contrary to the groupthink, no wonder this place is dying off now
I have no problem with you being here, and that's why I responded on this account instead of the song contest account. I welcome your participation and opinions.
