March 21, 20214 yr Well at least she made top 10!!! Go stream State of Independence for clear skin!!!!!
March 21, 20214 yr Donna :wub: Regardless of where she placed, SUCH a good choice and one that I'm glad people are getting to know.
March 21, 20214 yr Author 9 0.47 The Beatles [Jade] The fab four, the legends themselves, and of course one of Jade's favourite artists of all-time, The Beatles had high expectations to meet in this round despite a potential uphill battle considering Buzzjack's typical tastes! I was pleasantly surprised by the entries I heard, Jade did a superb job of showcasing variety and I particularly enjoyed hearing Here Comes the Sun, thank you for surprising me!
March 21, 20214 yr I think Demi is the biggest under-performer for me. I thought for sure she had a lot of fans on here :o Donna was a great choice from r George and she did decently~ The Beatles <33333 gotten really into their albums just before this and so these rounds kept me going with them! So much goodness in their back-catalogue.
March 21, 20214 yr 9th is better than I would’ve expected for The Beatles when I first entered them! Happy with that :cheer:
March 21, 20214 yr Jade did very well with this I think, picking someone well-known but not particularly well-KNOWN by the casual listener - it was a good shout!
March 21, 20214 yr Author 8 0.50 Ciara [Jack] One of the artists I was most excited about appearing! Dubbed the first lady of Crunk&B, Ciara burst onto the scene in 2004 with her smash hit single Goodies and has continued making great music since, though its success has been very varied. Jack showcased some of those lesser known gems among the bigger hits and I know many discoveries were made with tracks like Overdose and Livin' It Up!
March 21, 20214 yr WE DID IT BOYS It's been great fun playing as the 'odd one out' here (and even getting a 5th place out of it!), I implore you to check out their entire discography if you liked what you heard, it was tough cutting it down to just 8 entries!
March 21, 20214 yr Author 7 0.52 Jessie Ware [Leww] Into the top half now with a Buzzfave. Jessie Ware's been a critic darling since her debut album Devotion came out in 2012, and particularly again last year with fourth release What's Your Pleasure? as she embarked on a new electronic sound. Lew made some fantastic choices to showcase the different sides of Jessie's career and I really enjoyed her choices as someone who's previously been a casual fan!
March 21, 20214 yr Ciara’s not really my type of thing but I’m sad I couldn’t get round to voting for her in one round as she was definitely close in a couple! Some strong album track rounds and 1 2 Step is a big highlight.
March 21, 20214 yr Ciara's not usually my type of thing either but to be honest it was a BOLD choice from Jack as R&B is not the general fan-fave so honestly? An 8th place is smashing it!
March 21, 20214 yr Jessie! :heart: Only missed out at the end with 'Wildest Moments' but that is a fantastic song just in a very strong round! 7th is good for someone not known as a Buzz favourite!
March 21, 20214 yr Jessie :wub: :wub: Glad she could manage the top half, I feel I adore his discography more and more. SO many strong songs entered but so many more that could have also been entered. Was particularly great to see Midnight Caller get lots of love!
March 21, 20214 yr Made some great discoveries from both Ciara & Jessie, great entries from both of them! :wub:
March 21, 20214 yr Thank you guys for top half :wub: Exceeded my expectations going into this as she definitely seemed like one of the least famous / fanbase artists so thank you for some surprise results!
March 21, 20214 yr I was SO please to see The Kill snatch a win and glad she’s managed top half!!! Midnight Caller was a FAB discovery for me!
March 21, 20214 yr Author 6 0.53 Ava Max [MrAndrewMan] Having only one studio album to her name didn't stop Ava Max from putting in a really strong performance throughout. In fact, she achieved a 2nd place position with Born to the Night - not even one of her well known hits! MrAndrewMan picked wisely to give Ava her best shot among a selection of more established artists, and this is what I'd call a very strong outcome!
