yeah, by that time I'll have forgotten all my jokes, and the comments will be on a different topic...

I just read books on my phone, and instead of watching movies, I watch videos on YouTube.

But before that, there were paper books and movies. According to the contest criteria, you could have submitted an alphabet book if it was the last paper book you read. That's what I did, except I specifically watched a movie before submitting, because I don't remember which one I watched before that, besides TV series...

Well, there's a requirement to list films watched in the past year. And I don't remember when I last watched something. I also don't remember the last paper book I read; it was a long time ago.

So, it turns out I watched that movie for a reason the other day. But it’s good that this requirement only applies to movies, otherwise it would seem like I cheated with the book.

Well, there's a requirement about movies watched in the last year. And I don't remember when I last watched something. And I don't remember the last paper book I read, it was a long time ago.

I just realized that I haven't watched a single movie in the last year (or maybe even longer)... I did read a paper book. It's called "Physics Textbook"...😂

【ORIGINAL SONG】 "Siren" | AmaLee — 6 kind of like Amy Lee, only it's Ama. Amy would be cooler, though... overall, it sounds okay, there are no irritants, but I didn't find anything particularly catchy.
DORO - Time For Justice (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) — 2 some kind of American... thing. I don't like such female voices, maybe with very rare exceptions and where the raspiness isn't very noticeable, like Bonnie Tyler (although maybe I just listened to those kinds of songs and it's more noticeable in others). Well, and the repeating guitar riff quickly tired me (you really had to try to make that happen).
Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Birds of Prey Musical | Super Scenes | DC — 4 this genre has never appealed to me, and it probably won't. In my opinion, only people listen to this in movies/cartoons, and even then, while eating, that is, even in works, no one listens to this kind of music intentionally...
Laura Thorn - La Poupée Monte Le Son (Lyrics) — 7 it's nice that it's in French, but it's also sad, because I have a lot of French songs that seem better than this one, and the sound isn't bad either.
Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans — 7 not the right Lana song again...
Татьяна Кабанова. С одесского кичмана — 2 when I watched a show about chanson. I don't like these kinds of songs and old recordings in general, which are unpleasant to listen to.
The Cranberries - Wake Me When It's Over (Official Video) — 5 why aren't there zombies? I would send this to a live performance contest. I've listened to the band and I only remember the songs that I liked. There are about 10 of them, maybe a little more, plus solo songs. I don't remember this one, so it probably didn't appeal to me at the time, and it doesn't appeal to me now either.

The Pure Maid's Killer Kiss — 6 when players try to defeat an unkillable NPC. It's hard to call it a full-fledged song, but the melody is pleasant.
Mezame — 5 it's a pity it's not Mezzamo, I could have given them a higher rating. But it sounds interesting, at least. You won't get anything like that from a male artist.
Fever Ray 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me' — 3 is this an imitation of Björk? In every sense... I've never liked her, and I don't really like this one either. It's tedious even for me.
Финская Полька! на русском языке / ХОР из одного голоса 👍/ loituma leva's polka - russian version ! — 4 why not "Cat Mario" or "Kristinochka"? Sorry, I don't know any others. And I don't really like Kvasha, I don't know why. The video is well made, but it's more for a single listen, to appreciate the talent, rather than listening to it constantly, like other a cappellas, because it will just get tiresome.
Russian Red - My Love Is Gone (Videoclip) — when I sent a song that I really like and that works in any mood... but there are many options, from different years and genres. The other day, YouTube reminded me of my childhood and showed me this.

Overall, it sounds good, there are no irritants, but...

"We need to lower the score" :D

"Siren" | AmaLee - The voice and song style don't quite match the anime visuals. The song itself is fine on its own - 6
DORO - Time For Justice - Something very post-apocalyptic, I'll bump it up for the metal - 7
Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Birds of Prey Musical | Super Scenes | DC - a fun little song - 8 
Laura Thorn - La Poupée Monte Le Son - Ma'am, it's 2025, you're about 50 years late with this song - 5
Татьяна Кабанова. С одесского кичмана 



They really decided to hit a nerve, cruel - 7

The Cranberries - Wake Me When It's Over - yeah, I wish I could wake up... - 8



The Pure Maid's Killer Kiss - too complicated for a non-anime fan - 5
梶浦由記 / Yuki Kajiura Official - a strange mix of all genres - 6
Fever Ray 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me' - I thought about sending it, but then I realized I actually heard it during one of the hurms. I remember well the time when I listened to it, even back then it was better than the present - 10
Финская Полька! на русском языке / ХОР из одного голоса 👍/ loituma leva's polka - russian version !

I MOVED TO LIVE IN BALI? 🌴 I regret nothing!

*My lyrics about Zuriha from the exp* too bad I deleted the exp -______-
FUN JOYOUS HOORAY HOORAY! LIFE IS WONDERFUL! AHAHAHAHAHAHA! - 4


Russian Red - My Love Is Gone - Sad - 6

Yes, it seems that Fragment managed to preserve that piece.

Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans — 7 not the right Lana song again...

Which one is the right one?

Added 34 minutes later
I'll say it again, I'm unhappy that there's no list of those who submitted! 😠

"The score needs to be lowered"

Actually, I increased it, because 5 is an average score... but I can lower it

And what is it?

I wrote it last time, when Lana was here... she has more than one album

When does the song poll end?

25

【ORIGINAL SONG】 "Siren" | AmaLee 9/10
It's very fresh, emotional, beautiful, and heartfelt.
You could say it's the complete opposite of generic songs.
A clear favorite in this contest.

DORO - Time For Justice (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) 8/10
Is this from some game, like Borderlands? I'm not really familiar with it.
Or is it just another video "inspired by Mad Max"?
Overall, it looks stylish, expensive, and ostentatious. It sounds powerful.
The only thing is, Doro seems like a complete outsider among these young people. She looks more natural with her dog.
I don't think I can give it less than a 7, so let's go with an 8, because this is a music contest, and the video shouldn't influence the score too much.

Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Birds of Prey Musical | Super Scenes | DC 8/10
I like this accent and singing style. The first woman sings absolutely divinely; you could listen to it on repeat. The blonde one – I don't like this style, like Nikolai Baskov, when they demonstrate the loudness of the sound instead of vocal control, which spoils the overall impression of the song. The third one is great: good, performs well.
So, on average, 8/10.
I don't like the animation, but that's not important.

Laura Thorn - La Poupée Monte Le Son (Lyrics) 7/10
Oh, someone's been watching Eurovision. I haven't watched it in a long time. It's a decent song.

Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans 2/10
This is just generic, an absolutely unremarkable song, no different from thousands of others.

Tatiana Kabanova. From the Odessa Kitschman 10/10
A gorgeous timbre, a gorgeous performance, a beautiful melody, a piano arrangement. This is a case where the performer has a very memorable voice and singing style that you can't confuse, a unique style. I really appreciate that.
The first woman from Birds of Prey is the same; she only sang a couple of lines, and immediately all attention is on her.
I even googled her now – Nika Futterman. It's clear that she focused on voice acting in her career, but her talent in singing hasn't disappeared.

The Cranberries - Wake Me When It's Over (Official Video) 6/10
So-so. I can't say I'm a fan of the Cranberries. Yes, it's unique, yes, it's high quality, but it doesn't really grab me.

The Pure Maid's Killer Kiss 5/10
Listened to it without the video, it's fun. But in this case, I can't approve of such craziness. I'm taking away two points for the video. 5/10

梶浦由記 / Yuki Kajiura Official 7/10
Click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click-click.
Okay, it gets better after that.

Fever Ray 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me' 5/10
It's stylish, but sad.
Wasn't this band submitted to some contest by Neural?

Finnish Polka! in Russian / CHORUS of one voice / loituma leva's polka - russian version 5/10
Well... it'll do... it'll do. Smooth McGroove was much more impressive.
"Adygea" rhymes with "Pelageya"!

Russian Red - My Love Is Gone (Videoclip) 2/10
Generic, some woman is singing something. Or I imagined it. I restarted it three times, and I couldn't focus on the song; each time, something was playing in the background.

specifically watched before sending

That's respect

Blonde-haired – I don't like this style, like Nikolai Baskov, when they demonstrate the loudness of the sound instead of vocal control, it spoils the overall impression of the song.

You said that, and I thought that it might not be a bug, but a feature. This heroine has an ability – an ultrasonic scream. In the series from which the clip is taken, there was an episode-musical where this scream was used in the climax (end of the video).

I remembered, by the way, that I saw this episode in a review by some guy on YouTube, and he noted that in the episode it is presented that the heroine has a wonderful voice, but the actress sings not well enough, and the narrative is a little broken. I don't know, it's hard for me to judge. She has some kind of strain, but it's still not blood from the ears.

【ORIGINAL SONG】 "Siren" | AmaLee — 4 A bit too poppy, didn't click for me
DORO - Time For Justice (OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO) — 5 The echo effect is clearly unnecessary
Batman: The Brave and the Bold - Birds of Prey Musical | Super Scenes | DC — 5 Some jazz on ultra-minimal beats
Laura Thorn - La Poupée Monte Le Son (Lyrics) — 4 Indifferento to the fullest
Lana Del Rey - Blue Jeans — 6 Not her best, but still pretty decent
Татьяна Кабанова. С одесского кичмана — 6 The voice is really good, but only when it doesn't slip into mumbling, the tune is a bit annoying. Could've sent it to the photo thread, by the way, I'd rank it above all the others
The Cranberries - Wake Me When It's Over (Official Video) — 7 Classic
The Pure Maid's Killer Kiss — 2 Not my thing
Mezame — 7 No idea what's going on, but it's fine
Fever Ray 'Keep The Streets Empty For Me' — I didn't think it had already been posted, it's over five minutes long... Spent two days picking and got it wrong, what a dumba-s
Финская Полька! на русском языке / ХОР из одного голоса 👍/ loituma leva's polka - russian version ! — 2 The lyrics are annoying. Minus 10 sanity points, where's my beer
Russian Red - My Love Is Gone (Videoclip) — 7 I remember Arets sent her (the singer) before, it was more unusual that time, but this one's solid too

The curse of the non-existent eight struck again...
