Notes:
- All songs sent in between TSC 189 to 225 are eligible
- This is based on my personal opinion. Please do not take any offense from what I think of. Strictly my own thoughts
- Contrary to some weird belief, I don't believe that my music taste is better than anyone else's. This list is for you all to have some fun and laugh at possible comments I make.
- I also include some of my own entries, but don't worry, I'm not that arrogant to have more than 10 entries about myself
24. Ailee - I Will Show You
Sent by #CharlieBibi in TSC210, placed 7th with 80 points.
This is the only K-pop entry that made it onto my TSC list in 2015, but damn it's a great one. Charlie usually sends so many joke entries, but as soon as this was sent, my wig was snatched. Clearly inspired by PCD's "Hush Hush" and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive," this song may not be as great as the latter classic, but it definitely keeps up with the quality of the melodic line. Great buildup from a slow start to orgasmic chorus, faster pace and Beyonce-alike moments - it's not hard to see why this song was so successful among the k-pop fans.
23. Josef Salvat - Open Season
Sent by #Fritzyyyyy in TSC218, placed 1st with 100 points.
This artist has been entered into TSC so many times already, but no song has so far been better than the brilliant "Open Season." I usually don't really enjoy male artists - my lists are most likely to be composed of singers of opposite gender, but Josef is that kind of a guy that consistently got it so right with his music. The reason why this single is superior to everything else he has released lays on the production and the fact that he doesn't let his voice overpower the production, therefore finding a perfect balance between those factors. It's sometimes worth sending the same artist to finally win with it, Steve.
22. Verite - Wasteland
Sent by #Mack3199 in TSC206, placed 9th with 69 points.
I feel like people really underrated this one, I understand that TSC is not as it used to be, but that doesn't prevent me from liking something that would have won in the past, especially in 2012 or 2013. This is a very typical TSC-esque entry, with the buildup style revolved around the progression from slower verses to the faster, more production-based chorus. Same with Josef, she doesn't let her vocal overpower the background - something that many artists (like Ariana Grande) tend to forget about.
21. Softengine - The Sirens
Sent by #Monrooster in TSC203, placed 1st with 112 points.
This would have fared much better if it was not for the weird dancy beat which happens near the end of the song. The progression, the unique, raspy vocal with some rock - all of the elements that makes this tune sound like something I have never heard before until hearing this. I also like how this song is able to keep the momentum throughout the whole tune - not only up until the chorus - it never dies out until the very end, and that's all I really want.
