Re: Nur Ein IV: Round Six

Hey, how about that! The last two weeks were really tough and I didn't have a song until the very last day. I know these two weren't home runs, but I'm glad they got me to the final round.

Todd, I've really enjoyed all of your songs, including this one. I'm not sure how you transport yourself back to 1967 every week but it sure it cool. And Tiny Robots, you bring all the best qualities of Merisan and Ken and smash it together into a tasty dish that's also good for you. I was jealous of your production every week.

So I guess the only thing left to do is remind everyone that there's only one way for a proper American to vote when faced with a USA vs. Canada showdown. Just kidding, Reist--here's to making this the hardest decision anyone's ever had to make! :D


P.S. Title?

Hey, I actually listened to this round.

And I would rank these like this.

Todd
Frank
Andrew
Robots

If this round is a decent indicator of the next round, I'm guessing that I'll probably be voting for Frank in the final showdown.

Frank, I agree with the Pedro guy about your thing. I don't want to write a real review, but I did want to point out that your bridge thing came across as really gimmicky and took the challenge in a direction I was simply not comfortable with. You pulled it off really well, but I disagree with the approach. The sections of it I liked just didn't last long enough, and the others I found to be profoundly annoying and I wished they had been absent. I can't actually recall what they all were at the moment. I think some were in between as well. HEY GUESS WHO'S TIRED. note: DO NOT LISTEN TO ME

Todd, I was going to complain about your vocals, but I just couldn't narrow down the problem to something I could explain coherently.

Yeah, I don't like my bridge either but you work what you got and that's all I had this week.

I would have voted Reist and Tiny Robots in, but hey 1 out of 2 ain't bad.

Congrats to the finalists. You better make it your best song EVER! ^_^

I'm hoping for a Monday night deadline since we don't have a title at this point. Anyone seen Reist? :P

I've been at the clinic for a mild head injury at work, so you were almost right. :) But yeah, I can't believe I've made it this far - good to know the judges have been enjoying my tunes. I'm pretty much still in disbelief though, haha.
