My system of grading makes it the round closer than it is. If I was grading round by round, RM would have gotten completely swept and would have been destroyed. It was not even close.
----
RM #1 Just Got Paid: 2.7/10. Ewww, wtf is this. The annoying repetitive pop like tone that sounds like Dua Lipa is not what I like. This is very icky and it's repetitive, not hard beat drop is an annoyance to my ear. It is too vocal heavy and no base drop and nothing to wait for
PyschoBrain #1, My Heart: 5/10: This is OK. This isn't great, but it's not bad either. I think it is overall a pretty good beat but I wish there was more out of the song. Nothing standed out, and songs that usually label themselve as "style," tend to have a less quality
-----
RM #2 Vanic x Zella: 7.1/10. This song had a beautiful verse/pre chorus and would had received a 10/10, but the wait is dragged on and the beat drop is not satisfying at all for the drop. It was a good balance of musical harmony, but it just did not sit well with my ears.
PyschoBrain #2 Stranger Things Remix: 8/10. I overall think this song is good. I like the mellow beat and the beat drops are overall very satisfying and sounded good. Alan Walker doesn't usually give hard beat drops, so I am not a fan of him in that sense, but the song is mellow and does a quality job to my ears. The synth is smoothing
-----
RM #3: Trap Kuoga: 10/10: I LOVE THIS SONG SO MUCH HOLY SHIT! This is such a killer beat drop and a killer base. This is a beautiful tone of sound and vocals with great beat and flow. This is literally a great song and is one of the best trap songs. RM makes a huge comeback and jumping into to the spot.
PyschoBrain #3 NEEFEX-Chance: 2.5/10 Ugh what the fuck is that synth. It sounds like the track litteraly fucking broke while DJing and such so annoying and repetitive. And the vocals are so good here too, but it is outperformed by the dog shit synth, that sounds ass
---
RM #4: Vincent: I No Magician: 6.3/10: I think the beat is underwhelming and like, what? This is really just like a what song. It doesn't really flow great and the beat is decent until the beat drop, which is very good. It isn't bad, and definitely could see people liking it, but it really underwhelms and is confusing
PyschoBrain #4 Bad and Boujee Edit: 9.3/10. This song has a great buildup and one of the best beat drops I have ever seen in a remake. I infidelity did like it, but my problem is that usually, these trap to hard edm is usually garbo, but this song pulls it off, but their is still issues
-------
RM #5: Halogeon: 7.2/10 Bah, that was a weak ending. I thought it would be a great middle song, but it ends up being a really weak finish and in general ends up being weak
PyschoBrain #5: This is How We Ride: 8.6/10. This is a great anthem song. i really do like it's anthem feel and it's overall vibe to it

Feedback for me in the comments
So I am much more a Trance Addict than the the more electro pop side of things. I prefer up tempo instrumental with a good hook. My baseline for vocal excellence in songs, take a look at Above And Beyond.
1.) Just Got paid.
Okay - reminds of a ministry of sound pop filler track. 5/10
2.) Hypnotic
Again, just okay. Nothing there that I’m going to remember tommorow, just middle of the road stuff. 5/10
3.) Trap
I like the vocals, but I didn’t like either the disjoint beat, or the discordant instrumental - it felt like something was missing in the breaks: 4/10
4.) Vincent
This was a let down. I loved the build up,
love the vocals, but the break down was terrible and felt out of place with the rest of the song. 4/10
5.) Halogen another poppy song. It’s okay, but it’s middle of the road again. 5/10
Pro 23/50
1.) Dont Go.
Good build up, I felt the breakdown left something to be desired. The main riff not as bad as Vincent as bad. So will score this a bit better. 5/10
2.) Kygo
Marginally better, a little bit more melodic and less poppy, but it didn’t do anything tingly. 6/10
3.) neffex
I really didn’t like this one - too hip hoppy, not enough tune. The main break is not catchy enough to redeem it imo.
1/10
4.) Migos - again not my cup of tea, I slightly preferred the main break to neffex. But only just. 2/10
5.) Enjoy the ride.
Fuck yeah. This is my Jam Baby. So, I really liked this one. Excellent use of variation and layers, cracking build up, and nice drop with a great theme. The only reason this doesn’t get 10, is that I felt that the main theme was too on beat, the gap between felt like it needed to be filled with a background Melody to fill in the hole. 9/10
I also just downloaded it - it’s a great running track!
23/50.
You guys got great taste in music
Cheers for the fun debate
Cheers for the vote my man, I appreciate the feedback.
I took a bit of a risk with my third and fourth song and it didn't really pay off, I've learnt a few lessons for my next music battle though. Glad you enjoyed Bad and Boujee
RM
No you still would have lost with a score of 3.7. The 8th best was a 10/10. To tie, the lowest you needed was a 5.1/10.
It's a bit improved version of No Rules by Duo Lipa. a better beat with tempo. it was that bad. I give No Rules a 1.3/10 because it is repetitive pop garbage
Well if you had given it 3.7 I'd be tied, clearly it was THAT bad.
its just my taste. it was too poppy and was ooh ahh, dua lipa "no rules," type beat(which i hate)
I am glad supa gave my #3 a 10/10 it was a rare find I had thanks to channels I'm subcribed to and came across it.
24-25 because you decided that a song is 2.7/10 alright then. Not ashamed of this loss, first time I went too non-pop so it's hard to tell with voters as I don't know who WILL NOT vote so I can't adapt to the taste of the majority of voters. At least I have confirmed how arbitrary this is and won't engage in this type of battle again.
FEEDBACK
RM: I would focus more on the actually beat and instrumentals versus the voice itself. It really caused me to deter my votes and rate yours lower
Pyscho: I would try to avoid remixes. You got very lucky that your Migos was good, but it is usually garbage and rates lower. also try to diversify your playlist. it is a lot of alan walker type music, and i personally am not a fan
Please state which songs scored which and perhaps even 'why' and then leave the physical vote.
I will be dropping a vote based off a rating system I created
I will give a song a rating out of 10, and I will position these 10 songs from most appealing to least appealing
Then I will assign points for the song based on my rankings.
1st-10 pts
2nd-9pts
3rd-8pts
4th-7pts
5th-6pts
6th-4pts
7th-3pts
8th-1pt
9th-1pt
10th-0pt
So let's say the order is
1st-RM- (9.4)-Song Rating
2nd- RM- 9
3rd- PB- 8.4
4th-PB- 8.3
5th-RM -8.2
6th-PB- 7.9
7th-PB- 7
8th-PB- 5
9th-RM- 4.3
10th-RM- 4
RM=26 and PB=23
Therefore RM wins
He didn’t moderate if. Your vote is still there.
"This is a troll/non standard debate so votes aren't moderated.." Then why did you moderate mine?

It's a phrase that is used to indicate that something is amusing. It's pretty popular on the internet and stands for "laughing my ass off", although it's usually more of a quiet chuckle
What does Lmao mean?
Lmao, cheers for the vote regardless
I wanted the badge for 15 votes in 24 hours.
Thanks for the vote Alec, hope you enjoyed the music
Cheers to everyone who is going to vote, we appreciate it
You, vote pls ;)
Good luck. Hope you guys vote (Ramshutu I know you'll vote, so no point pinging you xD)
Well, it gets very vague on what's just singing-pop and what's electronic. I admit there's some leeway there but make sure the beat is very obviously electronically edited etc and you're fine. On the other end of the spectrum, it becomes a matter of 'is this really music or just electronic sounds?' but that's not gonna please voters' ears anyway.
I think this debate should include all music.
what genres would you include under "elctronic music"?
bump
come battle me boys
