July 23, 20204 yr Author I originally had 'Just Say' as 1st option and 'Jealous' as 2nd option with them switched for a future Free Choice round (Jealous being a recogniseable hit would probably fare better amongst the other smashes that get sent that round I think).. well that was my thinking anyway?
July 26, 20204 yr Author Need help. I've kinda settled on the fact that we will be bottom half of the table for this round. But which song shall we go with? Anything is available and I had 'Jealous' & 'Flame' in my notes. But I'm willing to look at ANYTHING that's not 'All Hands On Deck', 'All My Friends' & '2 On' (I need these for later!)
July 26, 20204 yr Jealous Remix would be cute! I would love something off her recent album - Cash Race, Save Room For Us or Stormy Weather could be a great discovery for some!
July 26, 20204 yr Author Which one of those, as I was wanting to send something more risky, but potentially be a discovery for people (especially after seeing her smash and exceed my expectations the last 2 rounds!) Do I listen to Bre's option and send Stormy Weather? (If he had that reaction, maybe some other members who he shares similar tastes with that votes, will too? :thinking: But I prefer the other 2!
July 26, 20204 yr Cash Race is my personal fave and one I go back to most but I think Stormy Weather could be a great discovery for some!
July 26, 20204 yr Flame would be a lovely choice if you don't see yourself having the opportunity to use it at another point! Although I fear that some (wrong) people would consider it to be bland/boring? Jealous Remix seems like it could have wider potential? I always much preferred the solo version, but I did like the remix too. I heard Cash Race the other day when Spotify was serving up random songs after a playlist finished, and I thought it was great - but would it struggle in what could be a singles heavy round? Could it be used in a future round, or would this free choice round be its last opportunity? I think Jealous Remix is probably your safest choice for a song doing well, but I would also say that you should follow your heart and send what you feel you'd find to be most satisfying for you. :cool:
July 26, 20204 yr Author I think I'm gonna rule out Jealous tbh. It's not really representative of who Tinashe is as an artist, so I think I'm going to send one of her tracks from Songs For You as a risk, in the hopes that people discover it and will get something from this contest!
July 26, 20204 yr Going to drop my favourites given it's a free-for-all for this round; not thinking about how they'd perform, the songs I love from her/those that represent her: 2 On, Feels Like Vegas, Vulnerable, All Hands on Deck, Ghetto Boy, Bet, Feelings, Story Of Us, Touch and Go, Save Room For Us, Cash Race, Perfect Crime, Stormy Weather. Out of Flame and Jealous Remix, I prefer the Jealous remix but neither are quintessential Tinashe!
July 26, 20204 yr Author I did say I'm going to use Ghetto Boy at some stage after not using it for round 2 so it's an option here, but I think I'd prefer that in a specific future round! All stellar choices! :drama: Think I'm gonna go for some SFY recognition for this round! Adore Touch & Go :wub: but I think one of Cash Race or Stormy Weather have potential to be more instant discoveries for non-fans, I think!
July 27, 20204 yr Author I've chosen. It's gonna be a first listen for many people, but I'm willing to risk it. The other option is a strong contender for a future round, so don't fret if it isn't the one you wanted! :D
July 29, 20204 yr Author Stormy Weather didn't do great, but it's OK. We could afford/I expected that! Next round is Free Choice Album Track! Is this the round I use 'Ghetto Boy' in? :thinking: I also have the following pencilled in: - Cold Sweat - Bated Breath > I LOOOOOVE this, but I think it may be a bit too subtle! < - Know Better - Cash Race - Feels Like Vegas - Bet Honestly, open to suggestions! The field is WIDE open. Something from 'Aquarius' would be nice at this point, but I kinda want 'Ghetto Boy' to have a moment (it'll probably backfire, but at least I sent a personal fave) If none of these are chosen, there is another round in which one of these will get to shine!
July 29, 20204 yr Is this the round I use 'Ghetto Boy' in? :thinking:Please! :wub: I really like 'Touch Pass' too as an alternative (but I definitely wouldn't choose it when 'Ghetto Boy' is an option!).
July 29, 20204 yr Author Yeah. I kinda want an 'Aquarius' album track (or a specific Songs For You track) for the other round that I could send GB too.
July 30, 20204 yr Cash Race, Feels Like Vegas or Bated Breath for me :wub: I feel like Feels Like Vegas would probably do best!
July 30, 20204 yr Feels Like Vegas! :wub: Selfishly I’d also suggest Bet or Aquarius but I don’t think they’d do as well.
July 30, 20204 yr 'Feels Like Vegas' is perfection! That or 'Ghetto Boy' (one now, one in a future round?) ~
July 30, 20204 yr Author I think FLV would suit the later theme better than GB. In fact any of the Aquarius tracks do (along with Cash Race & Know Better). :thinking:
