@lorcand1990 best for me today coming from the losers lounge, love that version! 😁
I really struggle to like a Whitney cover, JHud is a fantastic singer (as is Christina Aguilera) but I just can't get into it, I like either the simplicity of a closer to Dolly version or I get jarred by the changes (not that I really like that particular song anyway).
@jp liz v1 made me wish I'd got in earlier, and thought about picking Adele's Letterman live version of same 🤣
I'm not always big into what traditionally comes to mind for love songs and this round was about too many options for me 😅

Well I failed as a contestant so now I'm going to audition for a judge! Feedback time & we're down to the last few so gotta get tough, I'm going RSOAPS on your asses
@ari101 I liked the Remnant Strings on this one but wasn't keen on the vocalist
@aaronjennings Sorry but I Will Always Love You is like All I Want for Christmas of love songs for me, unless it's being done in an unusual way I just don't like it.. I'd say you'll be fine though if past rounds are anything to go by, the big hitters seem to be doing well
@Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick by far and away my favourite of the round from what is left in the competition. Again you've gone a slightly different way in terms of style & it sticks out in a great way, brilliant version of the song
@Sephiroth_Dude just a carbon copy of Adele's version & I don't think it's any better than the original, unfortunately for me I think it's actually worse
@Spears a few rounds ago I wanted you to do well when you gave your song a big build up, today I wanted to hate your song because you tore poor Amy to shreds yesterday.... But again I'm dissappointed.... because it was a lovely song Probably my 2nd fav of the round, strong vocals & gets a hotness point (for the girl, not the guy obvs!)
@DejaBoo well after yesterday's song was up there with my favs of the competition, this was going to be a hard act to follow. But it was a good song I thought, my 3rd fav of the round, so take a vote off me please
From the losers lounge I liked EN, Liz & (begrudgingly) Leggy

Top two for me today in no particular order...
Spears, Deja.
Dejas surprised me cos normally Beatles covers have me rolling my eyes up to heaven. Really good though.
I absolutely adore Lovesong anyways and the cover is really good so gets my seal of approval.

You need to critique harder, don't hold back, you have nothing to lose now, and don't be afraid to have a go at the judges either because they're the ones who really f*cked you over... To truly embody the RSOAPS way of the feedback rant you can't be afraid to make people wish they'd never been born in the first place (at the end of the day its their own fault for choosing such shit songs)... As a current contestant, I feel I need to remain somewhat diplomatic, so you've yet to see a true display of my powers, at the moment all I can do is inspire you and the rest of the LL to rise up and let loose...

The fact that its clearly the best song today* and not everyone is voting for it, just strenghtens my stance from earlier in the tournament about how neither certain members of this general public nor the judges should be allowed anywhere near a Thank button...
*I haven't actually listened to any of today's yet so I'm just gonna presume its the best until I possibly have to eat my words later on, but its a risk I'm willing to take.

I love Ari's, Soapy's, E.N.'s, Liz's and Lorcan's. I love my own too, but self praise doesn't count. I had originally picked a different version of Liz's song, but that one is great.
Aaron's was ok too, but not my favourite, although like Ari I'm not a fan of warbling power ballads.
Ari and Lorcan are my top 2, beautiful covers that are different to the originals.

Right everyone is getting a piece of my mind again today, be it good, bad, or ugly...
I wasn't expecting to like this (not even sure why), so it surprised me a bit, genuinely good choice, well played
Always hated the Whitney cover of this song, and Hudson has just done a carbon copy of that, so I was (as I expected to be) bored to tears listening to this. Gimme Dolly's version or something completely different any day of the week though.
I stand by my song, and genuinely think this is the best in the mix today.
I like Kelly Clarkson and I like that Adele song, but this cover just doesn't do anything for me. lorcan got it spot on in his critique earlier.
It was fine. That's the best I can do really. Fine, but instantly forgettable.
There's an episode of Community (one of my favourite episodes) where they use this song as a running gag, and it (or any cover of it) will always hold a special place in my heart.
Love Yungblud (for those unaware, was at his gig the other night and it was phenomenal), fan of Halsey, and have always loved Death Cab For Cutie, so this combo really works for me. Nice choice.
I really like what she's done with this song - it's very subtle, but there's some nice changes in here that elevate an already brilliant and much covered song. Another really strong choice.
Teddy Swims has a really great voice, and while I wouldn't be too gone on the original, this one got me right in the feels. Solid selection.
Meh. It's not bad at all, but compared to the high quality of some of the rest of the round, it just gets a bit lost in the mix.
Enjoyed this one a lot, the song actually sounds so much better stripped back and slowed down like this. Nice one.
I really like her voice. All I Want Is You is one of those U2 songs that I'm ultimately indifferent too, and this cover made me appreciate it a lot more, so superior to the original as far as I'm concerned.
This song really suits Hucknell's voice, and I was surprised at how much I actually liked it as a cover. Really good choice.
Depeche Mode = Good. Love Will Tear Us Apart = Good. No complaints, it's a combo that works really well here actually.
Some General Thoughts...
This was a very strong round in the end, thought I'd absolutely hate this round, was expecting a lot more sickeningly sweet songs, but think there was a balanced mix.
Joke rants and all that banter aside, I've enjoyed a huge amount of the songs in the game and there has been some really great discoveries and nice covers, but personally I would really have loved to have seen some of the more outside the box thinking and creative covers being celebrated in the tournament than they were. Some have done well of course, but there's been a few over the course of the game that I feel didn't got their deserved props, often overshadowed by a carbon copy cover of an OG song - those songs have their place in the tournament too of course, and I'm probably wording this badly, but there's a point I'm trying to make that will hopefully make sense in a minute. This isn't a dig at anybody, more a sad lament of how uniqueness and things or people that are different are being shunned by society (obviously I'm not just talking about music here, but I'm gonna use it as a grander metaphor), so to those who went for a selection they loved because it had something a bit unique or quirky about it or a complete and vastly different spin on the original, whether you're still in the running for the win or now watching from the peanut gallery, cheers to those who absolutely went for it with some of their unique choices, even if they didn't win over the general public, I appreciated seeing and hearing the songs that were a bit "different"
The "Love" round of the game seemed like an apt a place as any for me to climb atop my soapbox and go off on a tangent about acceptance and diversity...

Aaron's was ok too, but not my favourite, although like Ari I'm not a fan of warbling power ballads.
Ari and Lorcan are my top 2, beautiful covers that are different to the originals.
Aheemmm......

@DejaBoo amazing song! (again) More emotions god damn it!
(was suprised seeing that it was a beatles song because I don't llike their stuff. But it seems to have been cleared up that now its not theres after all)
@Spears amazing song! (again)
@E.N. I know @Rachel Stevens on a Pogo Stick is playing tactics by not admitting that my second amazing song is great . So it's killing me saying the same comment, but I'm a massive Halsey fan since she first came out, and I love Yungblud too, so I loved that cover. Great choice.
@lorcand1990 I know, she is stunning isn't she! If I was in the same room as her, I wouldn't be able to take my eyes off her.
(Image of me she is )
I'm very very tired today so everyone is off thehook with m e not saying anythin g mean tonight

Both in my lowest tier today so going to have to look at overall scores.
Seph has only had 2 songs in my lowest tier, but spears has had 5.
Sorry Spears, for me it's you who has to go tonight
