I love that the majority of songs I've submitted so far have a content warning. I'm the bad boy of FAN Idol.

Not to be a snitch, Because I Got High was used in Season 11 wasn't that a remix of the song though? The positive remix and the original version are two different songs.

Frankly, I expected to be at last place this time. This round just didn't work out for me. Couldn't find a place where I could search for billboard rankings, so I just went with wikipedia and looked through singers and/or bands I knew.

Would a song about recent-ish real life events count?

2 pts "Loser" by Kenshi Yonezu
1 pt "Because I Got High" by Afroman (LANGUAGE/CONTENT WARNING)
A ton of variety to be found in both rounds. Very much a challenge to rank each round in a proper order. Tame Impala won Round 9 for me due to the song's complexity and progression. It somehow had a wonderful throwback sound while sounding modern at the same time. It would have been a fantastic song for my long song elmination category from the first Sing-Off. Kate Bush's Wuthering Heights was the song that I said immediately came to mind when I learned the theme for the round. Like with the X-Ray Spex, I marked out to see u used. Just nothing else has that vocal sound and the keyboards and other embellishments helped make the song live up to its source material. Goodbye Yellow Brickroad was a perfect choice for the round and I respect that it was such an emotional choice. That it was live added a great deal to the performance. Round 10 was quite the challenge and I think going to more mainstream songs was a good strategy to use. Zeppelin was perfectly used for the Round and it just was such a massive song. The bass was the standout for me but, honestly, you have the blueprint here for the next, like, 30 years of this genre. The death of subtlety! Just amazing. The Hip were second for me; second to none combination of vocals and rhythm section but it didn't have Zeppelin's scale. Anitta was a real surprise and I loved its musicianship. Anitta also really embraced the theme wonderfully.
