01) YUJU - it’s cute enough. but it’s nothing to write home about and nothing that will stay in my memory by the time we hit reba mcentire at this contest. really hate chorus btw
02) Slayyyter - i like and root for this lady and used to consider myself a stan but she doesn’t connect much w me from a lyrical/vibe standpoint. she is really talented vocally but this song doesn’t highlight that, but it does show she can ride a beat well, this is catchy
03) 9m88 - interesting! that hook draws me in and production is lovely but… im not totally sold? voice annoys me but also giving me BANKS by the end in a way that i am not particularly mad at. an enigma and very stand-alone but too many parts i have problems with for me to embrace the song fully
04) Genia - mhmmmmm this is beautiful like wow insane production, she sounds gorgeous, and this wouldn’t impact my points but i love her presence in this video. checking her out!
05) Nisa - this one’s nice, i don’t feel a whole lot in the verses but the chorus/guitar hits and she sounds a lot more natural. kinda find the outro (“on & on” part) REALLY grating and i leaned back a bit because of it.
06) Lana Lubany - immediate foot tap and head bop from me. the melody didnt hold my attention the way the other parts of this song did. into the chorus but when the verse works, it works well but when it doesn’t, it REALLY doesn’t.
07) Alicia Creti - ooooooh that voice is smooth!!!! this has a great classic vibe. super strong entry!!!
08) Absolutely - hmmm no thank you. very aggravating tbh
09) ExWHYZ - this is funky!!! i enjoy this and will add to a playlist. super strong week so far, i can see a lot of these being in my rotation, thanks for pandering! but seriously this is so fun and beautifully performed/produced
10) Reba McEntire - it’s cute and i’d have so much fun if this came on at a bar tbh! like its unserious to an extent, but its also undeniably…. very good
11) The Knocks & SOFI TUKKER - again this is such fun production! i dont like the lady in sofi tukker though and it took me out of the song a bit. still enjoyed overall!
12) We Ani - why does she kinda sound like candiace from RHOP in parts LMAO mom, this is bad though i fear, just doesn’t give me much of anything
13) David Archuleta - i automatically respect, as i was FAMOUSLY robbed (i got 13th i think) when i sent crush by david archuleta. i am so attracted to him but the chorus of this song is somewhat of an ick :(
14) Akini Jing - pretty, there are cool elements. but the production becomes pretty annoying and this most certainly overstays its welcome. but i like things here and there
15) Suki Waterhouse - awww i like this woman and some of her music. this would hit in a dressing room perhaps but i also dont particularly like any of this.
16) Da Vinci's Notebook -
https://x.com/ameliabiIity/status/1762290261541957736?s=20 17) The Marias - wait this is serving across the board omg? i want to marry the whole band i fear. just feels really silky/smooth, has an earworm-ish quality to it also, like i look forward to listening more
18) The Jack Knives - not this week, bibbles, so sorry
19) anni - track 12 on has just been such an unstable rollercoaster jskdfdkjs this is terrible
20) BITTERS - this isn’t doing anything for me, HATE hate hate the way she delivers “and all your body parts” like why is that a lyric!!!! none of this
21) Luz Gaggi - i started off on board but it lost me when the chorus hit. i will say, to its credit and in a non-derogatory way, this type of loud ahh song isnt really for me and i like it more than most of those.
22) Thy Slaughter - i still need to listen to this project in full. this is quite beautifully produced + sung, and this feels like an earworm melody for me. enjoyed!
23) Ikkimel - annoying but kinda boppy
24) DellaXOZ - pinkpantheress has sisters!!!! this is a side-to-side head motion kind of song, not reinventing any wheel but it’s an enjoyable listen
25) RESCENE - cute palatable end song, it’s light, catchy, and fun!
