Although playlist one is full of wall-to-wall Tartbait (Seek Bromance ) and naturally gets higher points from me, playlist two gets bonus points for creativity for some real leftfield choices. That version of Crush is mint.

 

[Tisch]

Clubland Empowerment - a lot of GOOD choices. Slightly moopy-baiting maybe, but I don't think that's such a crime when I am live-ing.

Acoustic Empowerment - I can see this theme was more difficult but this person has done a good job of seeking out Acoustic versions that don't sap the life out of a song

15 BONUS POINTS FOR CREATIVITY - acoustic versions are always risky - sometimes they make the song better sometimes the opposite. Mostly the former here. I don't care for some of the originals and actually the acoustic versions bring out the theme more I think. FYI That's probably the only Gabrielle song I don't like though

 

[Indie]

I thought i'd like the second one more, but i remembered how much acoustic music makes me want to sleep. It was a harder one to pull together though, so more points for creativity.

WELL this was interesting. The mere word "acoustic" usually makes me roll my eyes and groan at the prospect of songs being TEDIOUSLY RUINED, but I enjoyed them far more than I expected. The liberal dosing of strings helped.

omg

 

[AGinAg (37)]

omg

I think I just found the term "acoustic empowerment" to racist, homophobic, sexist and transphobic.
