Reason:

vinnie Paz: not quite my cup of tea. It was okay, but didn’t really resonate for me: 5

Bird set free: I quite like sia, but this is not really my favourite sia song by my means, nor is it as emotional as others. While it’s good, it’s still missing something on that chorus; 7

Therapy session: not a fan of rap, and again: not a genre that really resonates. I didn’t think this was as good as the VP one pro out in R1: 3.

When we were young: much better, but like the sia example, you could have picked so many better examples. This was good from Adele, but it wasn’t exactly rolling in the deep, or set fire to the rain. It was about the same for me as the sia example: 7

Run: better, loved the chorus, felt that it resonated a bit better than the other rap examples: 7

Total: 29

Just a dream: seemed pretty commercial emotional music. Nothing raised it up above average: 5

She wolf: you’d have gotten a 10 for titanium. This one is not nearly as good. I love the song, and think the lower pitch is key for sia to unlock more of an emotional range, so I still think this one was pretty good: 8

Airplanes: rap again. The chorus helped a little bit - but it’s on par with cons r1: 5

Hope - LDR: just a generally sad song, but nothing really lifted it out of the general sad feeling into a true great: 7

You can be king again: I quite liked this one, though I always like quirky soprano. Very much like the LDR example though, nothing lifted it above good into great: 7

Total: 32

29 vs 32 - goes to con.

Reason:

Winner songs in this came down to lana del rey and NF. NF shot it out of the building bc of one line in the song. Paraphrasing "I can see the tears in my crowds eyes" ... As in he understands the feels other people get from music. That was a deep line and sick beat. I only disliked the choruses/bridges, but they were short so that was cool. Lana was good too, but since this is subjective.. she didn't win this time around. She's a different type of feel that i'm not feeling right now... but a very good pick.

Pro

R1 I like the music but I don’t like that guy’s voice, the rap isn’t bad though, 6
R2 I like the music, she has a nice voice too, not the best I’ve heard but they match well, 8
R3 Good beat, nice rapping, the chorus part is kind of weird though, 9
R4 Of course she has a nice voice, it’s a bit slow for my taste though, the music is very calm though, 7
R5 I love the rapping and the voice, the music is super catchy, 9

Con

R1 The music wasn’t bad at first, it got kind of annoying with the vocals though, I don’t like the woman’s voice at all, they have terrible harmony and I can hardly understand what they’re saying, 3
R2 I like the piano and she has a really nice voice, and I looooooove the beat drop, 10, nice comeback!
R3 Her voice and the chorus are meh, the rap is ok but it isn’t that good, 6
R4 Her voice got kind of annoying and it was very repetitive, yhr music wasn’t bad though, 4
R5: She has a nice voice, the music is nice, 7

Pro: 39
Con: 30

Pro wins! Good job to both contestants, props to Con because he had the only song that I added to my playlist
