⚪️ Safe. Safety is good for different reasons, but in this instance you can consider it a good or a bad thing, do you want to be fading into the background? Or joining me upfront for some good feedback. The choice is yours. But for now you may all head to the computer lounge and enjoy a Redbull on me x
———————————————————————
🛡️ The rest of you now represent EITHER the Top or Bottoms of your respected group and shall find out where you’ve placed soon enough. But for now eyes open and read what’ve I’ve got to say!
⚪️ #bomberv
▪️Kim Petras “There Will Be Blood”
While I love many of Kim’s song this one to me is more Monster High School thing that they make dolls of. I just couldn’t get into the beat, but it was on the wavelength of what the theme was about. It just wasn’t amazing or something gag worthy and comparing to last Rounds song this is just a bit boring! Just very on the nose and with how amazing loads of people have done this round, you just needed to do a bit more. Don’t start fading away as soon as the competition starts!
⚪️ #Marilise
▪️ Isabel LaRosa “HEARTBEAT”
Oh I’m so glad to have you back Marilise, I’m still very bitter about how your journey last time you was here ended and Im glad to have you pulling me on my heartstrings… well heartbeat and you can take a bite!! This was giving me underground vampire hunting in the sewers or something for something to eat, just very dark but with a lighthearted vibes. Also for a lyric video it was very detailed, could’ve just passed this as a normal video for the song. Loving this song. Keep the beats coming.
⚪️ #BrookeMaddox
▪️ Zella Day “Hypnotic”
Ok. While I do enjoy this song, it has just been VERY overused now on my music taste and of course you would have no idea about that, but it’s like UGH how can I critique something I’ve already done so many times before. I get it was used for Vampire diaries, but it just leaves me to quest your music taste level if you can only reach this far for a theme. Maybe this just a little slip up for a harder kind of theme. But it’s just now something I would consider a basic music taste lover would listen to now. You can do better!
⚪️ #nateclove
▪️ Rezz “Taste of You”
Wait is this not Dove Cameron??? I am so confused, if it is then I love that. But if not this is still a killer song and just shows you don’t have to do some deep crazy vampire song to get the point across, just a little nibble is all it takes to get me excited and that’s exactly how the song makes me feel, she can taste my neck. The beat was there, this literally was a perfect vampire song, showing the newbies how it is done. Also love the Saints Row inspired helmet. Bite me like one of your French girls x Killer song!!
⚪️ #MmabatlokoaMolefe
▪️Taylor Swift “Bad Blood”
As many of my Music Lovers know… I cannot STAND Taylor Swifts music. It’s just so like omg let’s go Claire’s and get our ears pierced and I am someone who wouldn’t get their ears pierced. The song is okay. It was giving me battle ground boom boom guns blazing, rather then let me bite you vampire vibes. Blood is the only thing I could compare to vampires, but again it the blood wasn’t even about vampires in the song. Unfortunately for me love this song wasn’t it and your last rounds song slaps compared to this tripe hun.
⚪️ #sosyomomma
▪️Tove Lo “Love Bites”
UGHHHHH YES. Finally you’ve have given me a bop that has slapped all the other rubbish you’ve been giving me in recent seasons. This is the Season 4 sos that I was here for. The catchy chorus the fun head bopping beat. And exactly on theme, I could picture this blasting at a vampire underground party while everyone just eats each others necks off. Yes yes yes. I loved the slick verse it just had that smooth and sneakiness that vampires have and I just loved ALL OF IT! Welcome to the competition. Keep this vibe up I am telling you.
🔳 Now as you all take in what I’ve informed you of, take yourselves to the Computer Lab and mop up that Redbull quick, the true drama is about to start.
———————————————————————
🔲 Welcome BACK everyone! The Safe Music Lovers remain at the back of the stage and the Tops/Bottoms of the Round await their results….

🔴 I am sorry, but you’re my Bottom Pick of the Round and will be facing off in the first Video-Sync of the Season. But first the Winner of the Round shall be deciding who you’ll be facing… remember sometimes a winners journey begins in the bottom!
———————————————————————
= = 🟢 Challenge Winner’s Choice 🟢 = = sosyomomma! Congratulations on Winning this Rounds Challenge! As you are aware you now have the power to SAVE one of the remaining Bottom 3 placement, from having to Video-Sync. I have already chosen to send into elimination with that being MmabatlokoaMolefe. Your choice is between bomberv & BrookeMaddox.
COMMENT YOUR DECISION ON THE BLOG with your reasoning. You have 12 hours to do this, or 2nd place will take your choice!
= = 🔘 Bottom 2 Video-Sync 🔘 = =
Heller my Bottom Music Lovers. This isn’t the end. You still have one LAST chance to save yourself from elimination. All you have to do is simply find a song that is somewhat related to the song I post. It can be the vibe, the video the beat. Just make it match up and the closest in my opinion will get to slay another day. Got it? Good.
🛡️HELLER! Melinder is BACK again hosting another epic Season of Music Taste, Season 15 to be correct, with the Theme being Newbies vs Veterans the true battle of music is happening NOW! Will an Old-timer gain revenge again and win it again for the Vets or will a Newbie with killer taste slay the game? Let’s just say our ears are going to be ringing with tunes… lover!
🪖 Welcome, all! To the true beginning of the Season with the whole cast up and about together I can’t wait to see who’s going to be left standing out of you all, just like when it was Newbies vs Veterans in Season 6, the format will stay the same and I shall go into detail on how this Season will play out. As it’s not only I who shall be making decisions..
⚔️ NEWBIES VS VETERAN FORMAT (will only post this the once)
- You work in teams each round. One team being the winning team, the other being the losing team. 3 from one team being the top and the other 3 being the bottom team of the round.
- I will select ONE winner and ONE instant Bottom Placement.
- The winner of the Round will then select ONE of the other remaining 2 bottom 3 placements and will decide who will join my bottom pick for the round and those two will battle it out to stay in the competition!
- This will happen until the teams merge. Got it? Good! (Season 6’s chart layouts the format!
———————————————————————
🛡️ Theme #2 - “Vampiric Lifestyle”
For this Rounds Theme, in your teams (but posting alone) I want you to give me a song based on a Vampires Lifestyle, this literally doesn’t have to be someone with pointy teeth singing a song about vampires, just use it as a metaphor or literally be a vampire.
It could be about someone strongly obsessed with someone, with a will to do anything to taste them. Maybe a song about you living in the shadows? Just think of a Vampire Lifestyle you would like to live and turn it into a bop! Remember stay out of the sun x
Who doesn’t want to win the first challenge with everyone together? I know I do.
🛡️ HELLER! Duh, I’m back, back, back again ready for a NEWBIE? Slaying Season. I’m after FRESH new music loving taste, with the chance to win TWO GIFTS! For the First Time ever. The upgrade is certain and the reward is ready to be claimed. With a Newbie Season ANYONE can truly win! Or is that what I want you to think…
🪖 HELLER! Welcome to Round 1 of Season 15! This Rounds Theme was all about showing off YOUR music taste and with the MAJOR TWIST coming at the end of this Round you’ll really and truly need to show me what your music taste is about quick and fast….
📍Like I just mentioned… there is a twist coming for you Newbies, they’ve been prepped and waiting and I think it’s about time I finally reveal what the TRUE SEASON TWIST IS…. while you lot were thinking this is about you Newbies…. This Season is actually
⚔️ SEASON 15: NEWBIES VS VETS! - that’s right tonight TWO of you will be automatically eliminated without having a chance to Video-Sync to stay in the competition, as the real contest doesn’t start until Round 2, when everyone joins together. 10 NEWBIES 8 SPACES available. Who will they be going to? Let’s find out.
———————————————————————
🛡️ Welcome to the main stage! This is where I shall critique and treat my Music Lovers, Like I said before, there is no critiques for this Round only, I will simply post best to worst, with there being a winner and two losers who will simply not make the cut. Let’s get into the Elimination, ready for the Veterans to arrive.
NOW! If I call your name, please step forward…

⚪️ You are safe. Thought to give you one more chance my love, don’t mess this up! You’re safe to slay another day and may join the others at the back.
🔴 LooseyLaduca & l0ve2a11, I’m sorry my loves but this does mean you’ve both been Eliminated today. This Season was just not your time and I hope to see you again ready to fight with a new Music Life and License to slay, but for now my loves. Sashay away…
🔸 CONGRATULATIONS! My Top 8, well Top 16 actually as I now have 8 Veterans ready to come and take your place in the competition and snatch the crown for themselves! Who will be the true Winner of the Season? A Newbie or a VET! Let’s meet the rest of the cast and find out….
🛡️ HELLER! Duh, I’m back, back, back again ready for a NEWBIE? Slaying Season. I’m after FRESH new music loving taste, with the chance to win TWO GIFTS! For the First Time ever. The upgrade is certain and the reward is ready to be claimed. With a Newbie Season ANYONE can truly win! Or is that what I want you to think…
🪖 HELLER! Newbies and Welcome to Melinder’s Music Taste Season 15! After finishing the long… long.. long Season 14, I’ve returned but this time I’m looking for NEW TALENT, NEW MUSIC and NEW TASTE! Each Round you will battle it out RPDR Style with One Winner each Round and Two Video-Syncing it out to stay in the competition. I’ve only ever Judged one/two of you once before, so as a first timers here, I’m SO ready to learn about your tastes and hopefully see how well you can meld them with MINE! Let’s BEGIN!
———————————————————————
⚔️ THEME #1 - “New Lovers, New Music”
For the First Theme of the Season we’re going to keep it simple as can be, seeing as I know hardly anything about most of you and what you’re into this is your chance to give me a song that best summaries YOUR music taste, this theme isn’t about meshing our tastes together seeing as we know nothing about each others. This is to show me who YOU are within the music world.
Remember winning the first Challenge is always iconic and remembered, do you wish to be remembered just for having good taste? I know I do.
🛡️ HELLER! Duh, I’m back, back, back again ready for a NEWBIE? Slaying Season. I’m after FRESH new music loving taste, with the chance to win TWO GIFTS! For the First Time ever. The upgrade is certain and the reward is ready to be claimed. With a Newbie Season ANYONE can truly win! Just PYN and get ready to Battle it out… with Music!
📍 YOU CAN ONLY APPLY IF YOU’VE NEVER PLAYED BEFORE OR ONLY COMPETED IN ONE SEASON!
🦩 HELLER! Melinder is back with another Season of Music Taste! Season 14, with 15 Music Lovers who will find out that winning really is the new winning as several weeks the Rounds Winner will have a secret reward! Will the Music Lovers become self obsessed TikToking lovers with the new twist? Or will their Music Taste rise above all… I can’t wait to see how this turns out.. *WINK!*
🔸 HELLER Finalist! After a LONG 2 Month Journey we have finally reached the climax of this Blossom as we have Two Final Music Lovers ready to Battle it out in the Finale Smackdown for the Crown, we have a Cutie Amy, versus a Hello Cat? Who will take the crown? The Cute one? Or the Cat one? Oh the suspense is tearing me to pieces! Let’s start the smacking!
———————————————————————
🍌 I will post ALL of your critiques in one go, then seeing as there is only two of you, we’ll go straight into the FinaleVideo-Sync!
⚪️ #CutieAmy
▪️Theme 11.A - “Battle Song”
▫️ Baby Jane “All the Saints of Notre Dame”
Ooooo, when the first note hit I thought this song was going to be something else, then straight after she came in with those high tones and they perfectly matched the heavy beat, so there was a mixture and I wasn’t just listening to loud noises, which as we all know I hate. But this song does both soft and harsh meshed so well together. It has the emotion the story and the perfect build up to that beat drop. I can just picture you and hello, flying around throwing fireballs and ice balls towards each other in a huge battle smack down with the beat just blasting in the background, with the build up chorus being ready for when one of you slay each other. Truly a great Battle Song, now I just need to start a fight with this song playing in the background. Amazing job Amy! Loved it.
▪️ Theme 11.B - “Always On Top”
▫️ Iniko “Jericho”
Oop, I wasn’t expecting to hear a song like this on the Finale, mainly people love to go over-the-top and shove the songs right in my face that just scream the words and music at you, it’s really nice to see a truly softer side at the Finale. This is a song where you truly have to listen to the lyrics and take it every word she is singing and that’s why the song is such a serve and gives you the energy that you can fall down get back up be better, but without limitations and a winner doesn’t let anything limit them from taking the Crown and again you’ve shown that you’re ready for the Crown, maybe you could lead Jericho if you can get the walls done. But with this song that shouldn’t be a problem. A nice surprise and a surprising way to end your Second Album of Melinder’s Music Taste. Incredible work hun.
⚪️ #hellocat
▪️Theme 11.A - “Battle Song”
▫️ Mother Mother “Hayloft II”
I do enjoy the fact you’re really taking a huge risk here, for some reason it was giving me The Rocky Horror Show kind of vibes. I liked the guys voice (if it was a guy was confused since there was a female in the video) which you have done a really good job of making me enjoy more male artists songs. There was just something off with me, I didn’t enjoy the beat with the singing, feel like I would’ve enjoyed the more had they both been in separate songs. BUT for the Theme it works really well, I can just picture you and Amy running around like a huge maze or something about to have a 1v1 fighting battle when you meet in the middle of the maze lol. I did really enjoy the ending verse, when it was just pure vocals and a little bit of the beat. Maybe if the beat was toned down it would’ve been perfect. But it’s still a good song. Well done hun.
▪️ Theme 11.B - “Always On Top”
▫️ Loreen “Forever”
Of course Loreen killed this song. When doesn’t she kill a song. Always wanting to be On Top Forever is exactly how a Winner should always present themselves and with how well you’ve done this Season (minus the hiccup in the middle) it’s really on brand for you. I just love her voice in this song and it’s simply just a beautiful song and a BEAUTIFUL way to end your Album Journey here with me. I’m going to miss critiquing your songs every week. You’ve delivered so many good bops this Season and this is no expectation. Forever proud to see you right at the end and for breaking the Win Ep1 curse! Hellocat? More like Winnercat! Lovely job my queen.
🦩 For the Last Time this Season. My Top 2 you may return to the Computer Lab and enjoy a bottle of rosé n lemo on me, don’t say I don’t give you anything, now let me decide on a winner x
———————————————————————
= = 🌟 Final 2 Finale Video-Sync 🌟 = =
Welcome, Final 2. Congratulations on being the Final Contenders for the Crown and slaying the Season. This is your last hurdle your last competitor, one last song. Shall we get into it and crown a WINNER. Let’s…
👑 Arlissa & Jonas Blue "Hearts Ain’t Gonna Lie" (Eden Prince Remix)
✨ This has been IT. This was such an amazing Finale, you two have such truly amazing taste and I hope I’ve helped you expand your Taste too and find many of new bops for your ears to enjoy, you’ve both given me many to live for, and have made this decision so hard like you’ve two have truly been fighting it against each other for the remaining time of the Season and I thank you for the entertainment and for lasting 2 months with me on this journey! But my mind is made up. The WINNER of Melinder’s Music Taste Season 14 is…

👑 CutieAmy!!! Congratulations! You’re the WINNER of Melinder’s Music Taste Season 14! Your Taste and my Taste mixed together has given you the power to be the best of the best and slay the Season. Impeccable taste for an Impeccable Winner. Your gift will be delivered instantly, as I do a quick service! Thank you for all your songs this Season and enjoy your Music Taste Crown! Now sing that high note! YAY!
🔴 hellocat. I am so sorry but tonight is not your night. BUT for a first timer you KILLED this competition! I must admit after your little slip up I truly didn’t expect to see you here but you turned it around and said NO Melinder im making it to the end and you should be so proud!! Loved getting to know you and your music taste and who knows maybe an All-Stars Crown is awaiting you… but for now lovely sashay away.
🔵 Melinder’s pick for Fan Favourite goes too… Amixoxi! Congratulations love, you truly left an impression even after leaving the competition. Your sly remarks are what I live for.
🌟 Just like that I’ve completed another Season. I LOVE hosting Music Taste and loving combining my taste with everyone else’s on Tengaged. To my Music Lovers I hope this was a fun Season and lived up to the HYPE that is Melinder’s Music Taste… see you for Season 15 SOON!
