MY SCORE: 10/10
A song that always flirted shamelessly with the top 5, but never managed to find a way in. What a shame, because it more than deserved it, you idiots! Ariana took that Police guitar, strangled it, made it work, and buried it for no one to ever use again. Hopefully. Give me 'Somebody That I Used to Know' but not shit, yas!
While some of her peers are still chucking out songs bereft of artistic identity that have been focus grouped and A&Red to death, Ariana has taken the same hitmakers and made them her collaborators. Why not take this song laden with hooks and smush an orchestral trap breakdown onto the end of it? Toss some strings into the song at random, wail all over the place, have people shouting your name in the background, and yet...it works. This could've been a first single, and it wasn't a single at all. That's talent, folks!
What a goddamn moment this was live. Straight out of 'God is a woman', a quick hello, and then a sensual thrum that made the entire arena vibrate. Mmm I get the shivers. Fab choreography too. Those Cocktoe Twins killed it, credit where credit is due. Maybe that's why @strangekin gave it his 11, or maybe it's just because he is full of bad ideas, God knows. @Petit nain des Îles seems to have a better head on ha shoulders but maybe she's secretly a daughter of chaos, too. Who can say because they didn't submit commentary so...!

God Is A Woman & Bad Idea's sister song-dom, mainly because of Ilya's immaculate production on both, leading to both songs being my favourites from both of their respective albums, and then witnessing their back to back opening performances and having it be The Wig Snatch of 2019 for me? A reset of culture.
Of course the subject matter is appealing to me as my pronouns are thot/thoem, and anything to do with fucking to numb pain appeals to my reptilian brain. You know songs like that are stories that people can tell!
The "Ari-chan' call and response finishing touches are just such a scream too. Japanese-Hispanic legend.

Glad Bad Idea made it this far AND beat the tired-ass title track. Bury A Friend lasted way too long but I guess it's alright.
she/her
Ddd I forgot I gave this such a low score, I haven't been the lowest score for anything until now.
Billie just...isn't really for me, although I appreciate her talent and that she's doing something different. That said, Everything I Wanted and Ocean Eyes are incredible and I'm glad the former is doing so well here.
It feels a little odd in retrospect that I ended up giving "bury a friend" my 11 but more than a year on it still feels like such a moment and I could see it going underappreciated. Definitely Billie's strongest banger type song.
I love how long "bad idea" lasted but this is a good placement for it I think. Rooting for "ghostin" now.

Understandable, but you deserve a like just for this alone.
I... didn't expect Bad Guy to make it so far.
Mariah has now coasted WAY too far for her own good.
This is the song that totally sparked my interest for Billie as well! I only knew her by name before and just signed her off as a teen pop singer. bury a friend was so fresh and magnetic from the first listen.
One year later, now I'm a Little Eyelash too dd
Great pick, @Music Is Life!
everything I wanted is the little song that could.
It's a huge bop, though?
He / Him / His
No idea why I gave 'bad idea' a 9.5 instead of full marks but I doubt it would have made much of a difference.
Even if two of the album's bigger singles veer into being a little silly and/or one dimensional, it's the sort of track that's so fantastic in its own right, you can immediately parade it in the face of any non-stan that might try and come for the album or Ari as a whole.
