Notes:
- This is obviously my own opinion, why in the world would I make this list if it wasn't subjective?
- I've started my TSC journey in 2011, from TSC60, so obviously many other good songs might be missing.
- I might be a bit harsh on some stuff, so do not take it personally.
- I will include some of my songs, but this isn't going to be all about me list at all.
18. Chloe Howl - Paper Heart
Sent by Ricktworick1 in TSC147, finished 2nd with 101 points.
A self-proclaimed "Fresh Lily Allen", this female pop singer has got a lot of masterpieces to offer. Paper heart is arguably her best release, filled with shade towards her ex-lover. I love her accent and phrasing, for some reason it adds even more substance to this piece of art that this synthpop song is. That kind of cockney stuff annoys Bibbs the most, though, so I knew I'd get a 0 from her!
17. Sia - Chandelier
Sent by #Monrooster in TSC156, finished 1st with 143 points.
To be quite honest, I wasn't really fond of this song when it was initially sent into TSC due to the use of autotune during the pre-chorus. However, when the MV was released, I had to re-assess my opinion, as I found the song to be magnificent together with the music video. The emotional song with the metaphors, written by some kind of song-writing master. Sia's voice is a killer, her highest notes are pure beauty, and now I find the use of auto-tune in this single very smart indeed.
16. The Neighbourhood - Sweater Weather
Sent by #Bibbles in TSC100, finished 7th with 77 points.
We always bicker at Bibb's performances in the contest, as she usually ends up in the bottom 10. She was even able to finish behind a joke act that Lady Goo Goo was (never forget), so her hopes for good placings in TSCs usually do not last long. However, that was not the case in one of the biggest TSCs that ever happened. It might sound like another indie-esque song that was usually sent during those times, but the fast pace and the sound, which didn't remind me of anything else, but great oldies was enough for the song to be on this list that high.
