Wednesday at 22:033 days This category is a bit trickier as there’s so much I’m not familiar with, it’s going to take another listen I feel.
Thursday at 07:473 days Well…. This is a very interesting bunch of songs, can’t really say I like any of them (maybe other than 2/3)🙈Gonna have to force myself to a second listen before I rate. Sorry to this man 🤣
Thursday at 07:533 days 1. Damien Rice *Best* This may be the best of the 36 songs sent over all categories - Worried it's been played a little early but a fantastic start nonetheless. 2. Calvin Harris3. Darin4. Tom Grennan5. Sam Fender6. Lewis Capaldi7. Sam Smith8. Roosevelt9. Gary Newman10. Mackenzy Mackay11. Bladee12. HRVY
Thursday at 10:413 days 01 Sam Smith - Diamonds (as I said, probably his best so an easy number one for me)02 Darin - Lovekiller (Scandi gold, very obviously right up my street - MURDERER!)03 Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Radio Edit) (again, one of his best that’s aged very well and definitely one of the best with his vocals on it!)04 HRVY & Malú Trevejo - Hasta Luego (think I already knew this and definitely think it’s good enough to warrant him seeing another round!)05 Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait (his voice does grate sometimes but this is one of his better moments, I think I generally just got over him after era 1 where everything continued to stay the same but he was cranking out some good’uns at this point)06 Roosevelt - Luna (great discovery, excited to see what more this artist has to come)07 Tom Grennan - Found What I've Been Looking For (another voice that irritates me with a song that I associate with every restaurant or retail job I’ve ever had, but it is quite catchy - hope we’ll see Gillette (The Best A Man Can Get) later down the line xo)08 Sam Fender - Chin Up (I don’t actually know much Sam so looking forward to learning more as I doubt he’s going anywhere soon - don’t love this but it’s dece!)09 Mackenzy Mackay - Want You For Life (actually never even heard of this artist, was pleasantly surprised by it cos the same gave me the impression it was gonna be country)10 Damien Rice - 9 Crimes (didn’t do a great deal for me at all sadly)11 Gary Numan - We Are Glass (I only know Cars by him which I actually love but found his voice a bit annoying on this)12 Bladee - Cartier’god Icedancer (Intermission) (I actually know and like some Bladee but this is not it, and feels almost intentionally picked to wind people up 😂 I know there’s plenty of good stuff if he stays though!)Not the beeeest list - cant help but ponder how Eric would’ve fared this time round
Thursday at 10:563 days 01 HRVY & Malú Trevejo - Hasta Luego · I'm not usually massively into twinkpop but I've always had a soft spot for HRVY's music, he's delivered some seriously under-rated bops, of which this certainly is one - although it's by no means the best!02 Tom Grennan - Found What I've Been Looking For · I still love this as much as I did when I first heard it, such a strong song! And tbh I don't think he's ever made anything quite as good as this since!03 Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Radio Edit) · This is up there with the best of Calvin's bangerz. And perhaps contrary to popular opinion, I quite like his voice!04 Darin - Lovekiller · Never heard of him but wow this is a nice discovery, really enjoyed this!05 Sam Smith - Diamonds · They can be a bit hit and miss for me but this is a genuinely good song.06 Sam Fender - Chin Up · This Sam is also a bit hit and miss for me (maybe it's something about Sams) but I do like this song, always thought it was one of the album highlights.07 Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait · I must admit, I don't mind a bit of LewCap. He has stronger songs than this one though, which I look forward to.08 Roosevelt - Luna · Another new name to me and I quite liked it, nice production in particular.09 Damien Rice - 9 Crimes · I'm never been a big fan of his (the obvious single aside) but this wasn't too bad.10 Mackenzy Mackay - Want You For Life · This sounded a bit Tom Grennan-y but not quite as good. I'm intrigued to hear more from him in future rounds though.11 Gary Numan - We Are Glass · Sadly this didn't do too much for me.12 Bladee - Cartier’god Icedancer (Intermission) · This feels like a joke pick? A thousand apologies if it's not!

Damien and Sam’s ok but a bit boring.Gary, HRVY and Bladees entries not for me at all!

This is Tom Grennan's best song I've heard. Haven't rated much from HRVY in the past, but a Poundland 'Despacito' - sure, why not. Didn't get much from the bottom 3 - I've pointed at least one of the Bladee entries in BJSC, but this was just too much of an odd one for me.
Thursday at 19:172 days Time to do the boys...01 Damien Rice - 9 Crimes - there's so much clear water between this and the others for me. I still listen to loads of songs from his 3 albums and if the mentor plays it right then I could very easily vote him top every time <302 Tom Grennan - Found What I've Been Looking For - surprising myself here as I wouldn't say I liked Tom at all, but I really liked the vibe of this.03 Calvin Harris - Feel So Close (Radio Edit) - One of his best imo04 Roosevelt - Luna - I'd forgotten that Roosevelt existed before he popped up here but I did quite enjoy his material and this is a fun and summer breezy kinda track05 Gary Numan - We Are Glass - Decent opener for Gary, one of his strongest songs that I already know06 Sam Smith - Diamonds - I've never been the biggest fan of Sam's music but this was a decent one from them07 Sam Fender - Chin Up - I don't know that many songs of his, in fact probably only the bigger singles. This sounded kinda like I would have expected but it was decent enough08 Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait - I've never really liked his music tbh but this one is okay. 09 HRVY & Malú Trevejo - Hasta Luego - Not really something I'd ever choose to listen to but again it was okay for what it was10 Darin - Lovekiller - This started off quite well as the video began, but then he started singing and it got worse. Lyrically I just found it really tacky. I did quite like the production value though so there's potential for me to like some of his other stuff.11 Mackenzy Mackay - Want You For Life - Sadly this was one of those songs that I forget as soon as it's over - sorry!12 Bladee - Cartier’god Icedancer (Intermission) - I was so disappointed by this as I don't usually mind Bladee! But this was just a very unusual choice, I'm sad that I'm having to put him last!

Thursday at 20:262 days 1st - Gary Numan - We Are Glass A song I know well and one of his best singles2nd - Damien Rice - 9 Crimes Agree with what others have said about this song and I'll overlook it having a female vocalist, hopefully his remaining songs for each round will be solo efforts3rd - Calvin Harris - Feel So Close I like that recurring two note groove4th - Sam Fender - Chin Up The best of the rest, there isn't anything else now that I liked5th - Roosevelt - Luna6th - Lewis Capaldi - Hold Me While You Wait7th - Sam Smith - Diamonds8th - Harvey & Malú Trevejo - Hasta Luego9th - Darin - Lovekiller A shame this isn't Bobby Darin10th - Tom Grennan - Found What I've Been Looking For11th - Mackenzy Mackay - Want You For Life 12th - Bladee - Cartier’god Icedancer (Intermission)
Thursday at 22:432 days @King Rollo I suspect you’ll find Lisa Hannigan cropping up on a few more Damien Rice entries as she plays quite a fundamental part on a lot of his early material.They worked so wonderfully together that, musically at least, it’s a shame they went their separate ways.
Thursday at 23:352 days Interesting, if it's not breaking any of Calum's rules, I suppose it will be OK then.
