I'm guessing yours hasn't been posted then.

 

[Kate]

I just don't want to comment until they're all posted

 

[Iguana]

The power of Mariah's voice at the end of Fly Like A Bird literally made my Bluetooth speakers fall off the shelf and split into two.

NOTE: My bonus points include some points for how well I think they teamed with the theme. Sorry for going slightly rogue but I want to take that into account too.

Electro At The Movies - This playlist was my absolute JAM. Especially the cheesy 80's movies soundtrack ones. I forget how much I love some of these

10 BONUS POINTS FOR CREATIVITY - difficult to please this Soul obsessive. Some inspired choices (Gallant, HER) but some questionable ones and also as far as song choices go I would have gone with Soul Survivor for Bev and Butterfly for Mimi, but THAT's JUST ME. Extra tick for Janelle and Erykah

The second playlist is REALLY not my type of music so I couldn't objectively judge whether on not it was creative, so I gave it the same mark as the first playlist.

 

[Indie]

SORRY SECOND PLAYLIST PERSON. Although you probably voted me out of the last ASFM, so i'm not that sorry.

hi funky how are you? listen I've tried to get past this but I just can't so I need to get it out of my system. You mentioned you looked this song up and saw it was from Eurovision. did you just immediately give it a 00 for that reason? to be honest it seems like it! Or do you really think this song is a zero out of ten, ie with no merit whatsoever? For me it is such a poignant reflection on growing older, dealing with what life throws at you and always being a work in progress, persevering through it all, because that's just what life is. Plus I think his voice is beautiful. Funky do you really think it's a 00 song, really do you

 

[funky]

Erm

I’ll relisten and get back to you

Just don’t track me down and shoot me in the meantime okay
