SCF's Song Race • S9 E4 • Results

I liked Eva's song quite a lot, but unfortunately Tess' song was just not very good for me. I do appreciate the connection you made between the songs and you have for sure hit the "call & response" factor. But because I don't like Tess' song at all, I gotta rate you guys lower than I would like to.

Honestly, I liked your two songs the most this week musically, particularly We Got That. On the other hand, I think your approach to the challenge didn't really meet the challenge we laid out for you, but like, it's not bad and definitely very important. I think you both did well this week.

I don’t know what to think exactly. I don’t think this stand out enough and I’m not really fond of it. Personally I think Eva could’ve done a bit better if the challenge wasn’t judged in pairs, but unfortunately you drag each other. Maybe you should’ve used your potion.

First of all, I do appreciate the message you chose to convey this week, especially considering how personal it is for Tess. Ironically, while I really enjoyed Eva's choice, Tess's song is the one that did nothing for me. Overall, I think choosing such a specific theme ended up limiting your song choices for this week. I don't want to discourage you from choosing personal and deep messages, but at the end of the day, it's not necessarily needed for an internet contest.

Personally I really liked your submissions. I think you had the most ambitious theme out of all pairs, which is commendable. I do think Eva sent the better song but I did like both songs and I don't understand the problem some of the other judges have with Tess' song. Both of you did a good job this week and the lashings are undeserved, in my opinion.

I feel like I'm wasting my breath but oh well. Miss Chibu, either you have no interest in doing well in this competition or you just can't be bothered to hear our critiques and learn from them. Kompra might've made me cackle a little bit if I hadn't already told you to step your pussy up twice before. Idk which one of you suggested this theme, how Kompra came into it and why Phaedra went along with this plan because surely you both knew this would not be received well? Phaedra's song wasn't anything to write home about either, to be fair. It was okay but nothing that really made any mark. I don't even hate the theme but this specific execution of it with these two songs couldn't have been more lackluster.

This was... unserious. The connection is kind of funny and so are the songs, in different ways. I don't really think Venom is Ravyn Lenae's strongest, in fact it's pretty mid and the production is just a bit annoying to me. Kompra is, well, a classic, however unserious it is as an entry. I had a hard time rating this pair I can't lie, but overall I think you're not the worst this week, but there's only so much I can rate unseriousness.

Ijbol? Kompra got old 6 years ago, and the other song is kinda bad too. Just ijbol.

It’s crazy to say that Chibu was the one who was better in this pairing for me lol.. both songs were very bad for me, and I couldn’t get behind them, Phaedra you need to step it up, we need to see you more. Chibu, I really don’t know what else to say to you KEIPACIAO..

Honestly? I didn't mind this. I thought the connection was camp and fits the challenge just as well/poorly as half the teams this week. Venom? Fantastic Fucking song. KOMPRA kinda banged too. But of course the rest of the panel once again disagrees with me.

Let's start with the pros: "Stop Loving Me" is amazing. The other one is cute too I guess.
Cons: I got a stroke trying to read your post. What an absolute REACH mama, just say it's two songs about relationships and end it there. Half of those words need to be looked up in the dictionary. Please just ask ChatGPT to write something next time. Kuchi-San, I'm afraid this is a recurring theme for you, but at least your songs are always great.

I was very divided by your pairing. One I liked a lot, and the other was really a downgrade especially coming from a win last week. Kuchi, I love your song you can’t go wrong with Saboune, and it paid off, but unfortunately I didn’t feel like Estrogennifer’s choice was on par.. it kind of dragged you as a team for me. Kuchi won this for me.

I think the two of you overthought this theme a bit too much. I do like that you found like an overarching story between the two songs, but I'm not sure I completely get it I'm afraid, it feels like a lot of writing had to be put into it to make the connection you wanted clear, whereas other teams didn't need to do this much work to make the connection clear to us. That being said, the Nicole Sabouné song is really gorgeous and potentially the best song this week. The Marías' song is pretty good too.

I thought this was a good pair of songs, I liked both of them in different ways. Wouldn't say that either of them would go on my playlist but they were lovely. I do think that the theme was probably the least interesting out of everyone's and I also think you tried a little too hard with the explanation. At times I felt somewhat illiterate reading the explanation because I genuinely didn't know all of the words that you used. It was serving "I'm writing a college essay and need to hit the word count" a little bit and imo, the theme wasn't actually that complex. But hey, I appreciate that you two put effort into this, it shows that you try to deliver to the best of your abilities. Not everyone can relate!

Honestly I thought this felt more like pairing up two songs you both felt would get you a good result and explaining it in a way that kinda sorta meets the challenge. Talk about a lot of words for like no reason at all, girl, that essay was a nightmare to read. The songs are fine, one of them even great! But I'm whelmed.

You both are safe.
