https://open.spotify.com/playlist/3xB87OG0IZJ1lEmHLwkiSt?si=P3NcTEnCR1yxUOOvNJzEeQ&pi=u-acbQuIdkRamL

01) Chlöe – Well this is something but I am not really feeling the electronic beat and the backing vocals that gets on my nerves
02) KISS OF LIFE – She got the attitude and the star power to succeed as I am loving the music getting me all hyped up
03) Naomi Sharon – I can say that this is so dull as I am trying to stay awake with the slumber beat and leaves nothing behind
04) Kylie Minogue – It’s the hit of the year and this is a banger I still listen to as I can’t get enough of the music
05) safesp8ce – She has such beautiful vocals and the song goes into another gear when it hits the beat keeping me entertained throughout
06) Kai Weinkauf – This is a very calming song that comes like the wind and then blows by just like that leaving no impact
07) Scheana Marie – We’ve got a dated bop on our hands and I know this one is a guilty pleasure but by the end it starts to fade away being too much for my standards
08) Hannah Jadagu – Eh this has got a steady beat that I can dig to but it doesn’t really expand on itself staying at the same pace
09) Cherrie B – Her vocals are not doing it sounding too autotune and is mumbling there and the music gets too repetitive
10) Cafuné – Um I can see potential in this as her vocals have good moments to shine but the music could be not so dull
11) DEBBY FRIDAY – What am I even listening to because this is a hot mess when I see one with the music making no sense and the singer just saying gibberish
12) Donna Missal – The music is going way too fast and this isn’t for me as I just can’t get into the song at all
13) Vanessa Hudgens – I can’t lie because this is a sugary bop that gets me high with love for it as she delivers the sass and is so memorable
14) Kelela – This beat is already very annoying staying the same and her singing doesn’t go the range and don’t excite me
15) Snoh Aalegra – I find this to be rather dull as the music sounds like something I hear on my phone waiting for the caller to call me back
16) Gryffin, Tinashe – I can’t deny my love for this banger as it gets me dancing instantly and is very catchy and it is so fun
17) rei brown – His vocals are already putting me off and those effects are not helping and this is lazy and I just don’t like it in general
18) San Mei – Yes, I am already pumped up for this as the music is just so good that I must have more and it is very refreshing to hear
19) Misha Miller, Sasha Lopez – I do love this ethnic banger as I got it on repeat and that drop is delicious and please can I have more of this
20) McKinley Dixon – Yeah, I am moving along to this track as his rapping is keeping me engaged with these beats that ooze class with hip hop
21) Wasia Project – The vocals here are magical and I get sucked right into the song as it is an experience that I will never forget
22) beabadoobee – The music is the highlight for me keeping me on the edge but I find her vocals here too monotone
23) BIMBOS – Is this it as it is bringing zero energy with the lacklustre vocals and the generic beat that stays the same and becomes boring
24) Amaarae – Those effects are putting me off from the song as I do enjoy her soft vocals but those gun sounds get annoying very quickly
25) Ayumi Hamasaki – Slay queen as she is eating this right up with the high energy and power and I am sucked right into this
26) aespa – I expected more from them as this doesn’t go out there and is very mid from them with this song being nothing special

01) Chlöe: It was okay during the semifinals, but I’m not WOWED tbh. Love the Bailey sisters tho!!!
02) KISS OF LIFE: Okay after a million listens, this is givinggggg for this time around. Yummy.

Vanessa Hudgens: So happy to see this in the finals! It was robbed last time. Justice for Vanessa!

San Mei: I def feel like this song is underrated and I’m glad to see it in the finals. I really like it!

Misha Miller, Sasha Lopez: Finals are pretty stacked! This is such a good bop and I love it more and more after each listen!

McKinley Dixon: Another song that I like more and more after each listen. This is so unique and a bit of a different style than usual. Solid song!

Wasia Project: Gosh this song is so pretty! Not sure how its going to do in the stacked finals but I am here for it.

Beabadoobee: I love the sound of this but I still think its missing something.

BIMBOS: Disgusted this made finals.

10) Cafuné - Ok time to get that crown
11) DEBBY FRIDAY - Reminds me of Alexeh's track when listening to his NF. Kidding aside, I enjoyed this!

1. Chloe - After some reflection this is kind of her worst release.

2. KISS OF LIFE - Natty came to slay everyone and she kinda succeeded

3. Naomi Sharon - MOM the production on this is still so good

4. Kylie Minogue - Still don’t get the hype for this honestly. Very generic dance pop

5. safesp8ce - Mom

6. Kai Weinkauf - Aaaand I’m asleep

7. Scheana Marie - Truly cannot believe this qualified. Horrid.

8. Hannah Jagadu - Still cute! Not much else to say about it but it’s cute

9. Cherrie B - The wrong Imogen song qualified is all I’m gonna say on the matter (why is Kai Weinkauf here and not chuala)

10. Cafune - I’m moving, this is my genre

11. DEBBY FRIDAY - I just don’t think Debby Friday is for me if I’m being honest. I’ve yet to hear a hit from her

12. Donna Missal - Banger. This is beating its original placement and it will be well-deserved.

13. Vanessa Hudgens - Bffr…

14. Kelela - Honestly the biggest robbery of the year if you stop and think about it, still absolutely incredible

15. Snoh Aalegra - Still just an absolutely lovely listen

16. Gryffin, Tinashe - I’m not a Gryffin girlie, he ruins everything he touches

17. rei brown - Waaaaaaaait this is hitting on a relisten… maybe I was wrong last week maybe this is a hit

18. San Mei - This is just so good

19. Misha Miller, Sasha Lopez - Meh

20. McKinley Dixon - A really nice listen until I get bored like two thirds of the way in

21. Wasia Project - Very pretty but ur so pretty outsells this so hard

22. beabadoobee - Mom pt. 2

23. BIMBOS - This song is literally my 13th reason because why is it here instead of LIGHTSUM…

24. Amaarae - This is kinda my new favorite Amaarae song tbh. Angels in Tibet found dead

25. Ayumi Hamasaki - Still not vibing with this one I’m afraid. Not my brand of j-pop

26. aespa - If there’s one thing I’ve learned in the last couple of years it’s that Aespa makes music for gay people that aren’t me.

01) Chlöe - yeah its just one of the best songs ever idk that second verse is everything POPPOPPOPPOPYO-

02) KISS OF LIFE - oh im bopping a bit… this production is very breezy and her voice complements it well. a good r&b throwback vibe

03) Naomi Sharon - i think i might be more ready to receive this song on this listen. she has a gorg voice and i envision this reading very well on a late night drive. wine tbh!

04) Kylie Minogue - honestly even though i prefer disco’s sound this song really did rebirth her in the american eye and it’s what she deserves. its so simple but so effective and the “when your HEART goes” scratches an important itch

05) safesp8ce - still sounds pretty disjointed and even though her voice is pretty i dont feel like this does anything better than any of artists w similar sound

06) Kai Weinkauf - this is really pretty and nice on a sunny day like today where im streaming these outside. reminds me of music that would play in the OC (my favorite niche subgenre).

07) Scheana Marie - literally no one is opening pandora’s box for ya like Scheana Marie. i unironically listen in full every time — it’s pop perfection #AllChargedUp

08) Hannah Jadagu - shes got a great voice and this one had my legs rockin back and forth. went back for seconds before movie onto miss cherrie B i cant lie.

09) Cherrie B - ok miss cherrie b. why werent you on spotify? i just checked and you are it just wasnt on the playlist, sabotage! the chorus bangs but the verses are pretty flat. kinda completely forgot about it from last semi tbh but again the second half is great. wish it had that energy a bit earlier!

10) Cafuné - follow up it skipped cherrie b so i will go back for her at the end. this is miss cafuné and i loved this pre-“drop” and then when it happened around the minute mark it lost me a bit. interesting parts but doesnt land for me

11) DEBBY FRIDAY - thanks for reminding me to add this to gym playlist! this isnt particularly unique though but production’s a bit nasty innit

12) Donna Missal - very surprised this came in 13th initially! feels like something this group would eat up (non-derogatory, i have my fork, as well). apart from some jarring transitions i really enjoy this and find the production/voice/melody all gorg + there are some cool risks taken that i think pay off well. queenmichelle i stand WITH you!

13) Vanessa Hudgens - likeeeee it’s literally time to putcha sneakas on.

14) Kelela - here she is! not my favorite on the record but i just love her and its obviously gorgeous still

15) Snoh Aalegra - still very pretty!!!! didnt leave much of an impact on me from last listen and it still doesnt really stand out too much. but its gorg and relaxing

16) Gryffin, Tinashe - i love my mom tinashe but this is an interesting selection of hers to be in the best of! its a fun bop but again kinda mid in the context of this group

17) rei brown - ariana grande school of enunciating, valedictorian! i was very excited to see this qualified & to relisten but honestly when you get past the uniqueness and hot guy singing, this is kind of a complete mess haha. giving an erotic version of a verizon wireless commercial song. cool parts ≠ good whole (or hole haha get it cuz this song is gay)

18) San Mei - this is pretty and has nice guitar riffs but doesnt leave much of an impression on me / not something i’d go out of my way to stream again

19) Misha Miller, Sasha Lopez - was just thinking about how (even w me not LOVING past few songs) theres not a single song this contest ive disliked thus far. i forgot about this one. i dislike this. apologies

20) McKinley Dixon - ooo this is smooth, i really like his tone of his voice and for the most part the flow. kinda reminds me of KYLE before he became too corny for me to handle and theres traces of goofiness here that make me not love it, but its solid

21) Wasia Project - still soooo beautiful across the board and think it progresses really nicely.

22) beabadoobee - at the point in the contest where i cant write as many words. this is very good!

23) BIMBOS - lmao these queens qualifying, i actually really dont like this on this listen so im sorry my dear

24) Amaarae - one of the coolest projects this year for sureeeee and i love this song. but why was the clean version added to the spotify playlist i smell a sabotage

25) Ayumi Hamasaki - not this queen again. i cant escape her! also my first time listening without the video component and yeah it just doesnt hold up for me

26) aespa - not the tetris soundtrack! they put their all into the tetris original soundtrack and i love that. good melody and some cool production moments, does a good job holding my attention. feel like its solid across the board but doesnt excel in anything majorly for me

01) Chlöe: Still a bop
02) KISS OF LIFE: Still very tbrown and one of the best songs I’ve ever heard
03) Naomi Sharon: Still a bit boring and underwhelming
04) Kylie Minogue: Still totally average and not worthy of all its praise
05) safesp8ce: Still cute and enjoyable
06) Kai Weinkauf: Still a cute little acoustic moment
07) Scheana Marie: Still a gag, this will never not be funny
08) Hannah Jadagu: Still a bop!
09) Cherrie B: Gonna break the trend here, because is kind of wine
10) Cafuné: Still a cute little indie moment
11) DEBBY FRIDAY: Still not really my brand
12) Donna Missal: Still fine
13) Vanessa Hudgens: Still nostalgia filled
14) Kelela: Still mother
15) Snoh Aalegra: Still gorgeous
16) Gryffin, Tinashe: Still mother pt 2 (and Gryffin I guess…)
17) rei brown: Still well produced
18) San Mei: The way I forgot everything about this between the semis and now. Cute though
19) Misha Miller, Sasha Lopez: I’m so excited that this has invaded HSC!
20) McKinley Dixon: Back to our regularly scheduled programming - still incredible
21) Wasia Project: Still beautifully composed
22) beabadoobee: Still cute
23) BIMBOS: Still an experience
24) Amaarae: Still a vibe
25) Ayumi Hamasaki: Still camp
26) aespa: Still kind of cute I suppose

01) Chlöe - BAWPPP no like this is so insane because she just casually made the best song of all time and then stuck it on a very mid album djdhfkhdfj AND her new song is just okay like she needs to stick to making songs with her sister because im over it
02) KISS OF LIFE - bawp duh still obsessed with the fact that i havent heard any other song by them 🫶

26-iconic

01) Chlöe - oh I don't remember her making another bop but I guess this is one???
02) KISS OF LIFE - I mean if I'm being honest this aint it like it kinda seems like we are just trudging along in the snow
03) Naomi Sharon - I sorta remember this one, and it's beautiful, my critique is that it runs long
04) Kylie Minogue - stop
05) safesp8ce - has some edgy twee petite meller energy I am leaning so far back
06) Kai Weinkauf - a beautiful lil campfire or beach tune
07) Scheana Marie - culture
08) Hannah Jadagu - feel like I'm back in my college radio days, this sound is very reminiscent of that
09) Cherrie B - kinda found this irritating I'm sorry :\ just a lil too distant for me
10) Cafuné - maybe I turned my volume up but this song feels full-bodied to me… on second go around I'm gonna be honest here the vocals are the weak link here, I don't want to hear her
11) DEBBY FRIDAY - this song is wine it just keeps getting better and better
12) Donna Missal - I think this caters to my tastes well like it's got some life in it
13) Vanessa Hudgens - even if this song never like peaks it tells a story and is just very funny in its existence… who decided to write this LOL I want a documentary about its production
14) Kelela - once again I am snoozing, I'm sorry
15) Snoh Aalegra - so happy for the coffee shops across the world that get to hear this
16) Gryffin, Tinashe - b a s i c but m o m
17) rei brown - love a slut bop to be honest even if it's a former winner
18) San Mei - well it won TSC already so this doesn't really need my attention but I do genuinely enjoy this and it's less annoying this is here than Kylie
19) Misha Miller, Sasha Lopez - I won’t lie it's a bop… great beat drop and I want to hear mainstream pop adopt this sound again <3
20) McKinley Dixon - thank you mckinley for the energy!!! I needed it this morning
21) Wasia Project - boppppp how did this not win?
22) beabadoobee - not gonna lie these songs are already starting to blend for me… feel like a bunch of us went for the same sound here. As for what I have to say about beabadoobee it's kind of like muse with an soft alt girl gap commercial tweak
23) BIMBOS - a deserving contender in its tsc  I love these sluts, party
24) Amaarae - this definitely is a serve… it's soft but has got some cunt in its veins and that fuels this
25) Ayumi Hamasaki - not her getting the alvin and the chipmunks christmas don't be late kinda entrance in this MV… the song I like in theory better than in execution like her voice is just so non existent
26) aespa - babe wake up the aespa tetris song is in tsc

01) Chlöe – such a good opener like yas… her best song idgaf. the lack of budget in the mv <3 shes so mother. I envision her in the top 5

02) KISS OF LIFE – MOMM. I did stan this song more when I first heard it but its still groovy and I am moving to it rn so that’s saying something girls!

03) Naomi Sharon – yeh like I said in the semis this isn’t hitting for me like it did before. Like its very strange idk cause I want to like it. This listen is a bit better than I remember from the semi one though like maybe shes growing.. im watching the visuals this time maybe that’s it. she will struggle in my points simply bc im not sold fully

04) Kylie Minogue – this is truly a BAWP and a defining moment of 2023. To be HONEST though I wouldn’t listen to this in my spare time anymore, like if it came on in a club im moving so hard but she may not do as well w me rn cause some of the other songs have more replay value.

05) safesp8ce – this rly is such a SLAY. Like I would not be surprised if this won the entire contest. The chorus is truly laced with crack like im bald w every listen. Shes so insane for this

06) Kai Weinkauf – its cute or whateva.. im not sure what my previous comment on this was but im kind of feeling MEH this listen.

07) Scheana Marie – shes so funny to me idk like the album art is just sending. This wont contend for my top points but I did find it kinda funny on this listen

08) Hannah Jadagu – idk why this listen is GIVING way more than the last one I did.. like she has me so bald rn im kind of in shock. The music is music’ing like.. idk how im gonna do my points the girls are making it hard.

09) Cherrie B – I DAURNT KNAUR WHYYYYYYYYY YASSSSSSSSS. Its kind of insane how good this song is.. its just so pleasing 2 my ears girls. 14th place is actually insane

10) Cafuné – this is the one song that has me so gagged this edition. Like I rmr it being good but not this good. its just such a BAWP like woah.. I think im lewsing perspectiff yASSSSS.

11) DEBBY FRIDAY – this collapse yas <3 we love debby friday the best day of the week loike.. could u imagine if this came on in a club. I would lose my shit.

12) Donna Missal – it rly is just so INSANE how this flopped. i rmr being so confident about it doing well and then.. that happened. I still think this is such a strong song like hopefully mom does well tonight.

13) Vanessa Hudgens – SHE MADE IT LIKE HELLOOOOO! incase u guys missed it, basically what we’re gonna do is DANCE! This is so 3008 like wow. It feels so futuristic like bald..

14) Kelela – this is definitely giving a bit more than it was for me in the semi.. still tho definitely not as OBSESSED w it as some of the other girls are. but it did grow a bit.

15) Snoh Aalegra – snoh is so gorj mom <3 only thing ill say is this song may struggle w me in this whopper of a final like sm songs have grown and shes still gorj! but idk how she will stack up as I said.

16) Gryffin, Tinashe – a bawp of course! Its hitting rn with these headphones. Is it reinventing the wheel no but it’s a fun listen and I would be moving to this in the clurb.

17) rei brown – this bawp. gay ppl around the world moved at a CERTAIN lyric nyassss. It was definitely more of a slay during its contest but im still moving nyassss

18) San Mei – its nawt as good as the song I sent to tsc by her I fear. But shes still so gorj like mom.. it’s a cute song!

19) Misha Miller, Sasha Lopez – this fuck ass song.. I have more venom for this after it was revealed its representing Moldova in hsc this edition.. like its so bad gag.. I find it so annoying to listen to

20) McKinley Dixon – just a good ass song girls! Another one where im like idk how its gonna do because while its good the replay value for me personally isn’t rlly there. But it is good <3

21) Wasia Project – YASSSSSSSSS this gorgeous ass song omg I just love it girls. I just think its so classy and beautiful one of the best songs of the past tsc year methinks.. music won when this was released

22) beabadoobee – it’s a good song <3 I do like a bit of beabadoobee. The chorus of this is stun like it gets more stuck in my head every time I listen

23) BIMBOS – YEW KNOW THAT IM A SLUT 4 YEW…. Like I really ate sending this im sawry. Them making the final is so good <3 talent won in the end. now its time 2 win the CROWN <3

24) Amaarae – 2023 was truly her year <3 this song isn’t even my fav by hers but it slays the fuck out of me every time I listen like shes just tew good..

25) Ayumi Hamasaki – oh she qualified..! good 4 her. I don’t like the song unfortunately it just gets blown out the water by like everything else. She is kinda mother tho

26) aespa – this collapse <3 I do love a bit of video game inspired music. Its just such a bop that has a lot of replay value!
