Two 10s in a row. Is this how @Maki and @Music Is Life feel like every day?
I just witnessed people tanking 90% of ballads in the Marina rate. This is not the moment when I'm gonna be feeling guilty for hating bops.What was @əʊæ thinking giving a bop like that a 2?
I love "Split Personality"!Well this is just the beginning.
It's surprising to see it out at this point, considering it received nine 10's!
Meanwhile, I haven't lost a 10 in the last 5 eliminations. I'm going to be grateful for this, as I'm not extremely upset about any of them, even if their not on my list to want to go, considering we're in the top 50 and the averages are pretty great.Two 10s in a row. Is this how @Maki and @Music Is Life feel like every day?
Now you know my pain.
Edit: oh for fuck's sake@Verandi's pain isn't over yet.

Someday I'm gonna die but it
Won't be from boredom
If you've got the skills then I suggest
That you throw down
Meet us at the spot 'cause it's
Gonna be a showdown
Naw, you can't ride the bus
Man you better cool down
Released as the first promotional single of the album, 'Humble Neighborhoods' tackles P!nk's burgeoning career with perfect humility, owning all the crazy shit that she's now able to do because of it. I can't be too mad at it leaving because it's one of my lowest remaining scores, but it really is a statement piece on the album that pops all the way off. Someday I'm gonna die but it won't be from boredom she commands, and rightfully so considering she's still touring the world and breaking records 15 years after the songs release.
Could have definitely been a single but it's also, at this point, definitely P!nk at her noisiest so far. For me it kind of precedes 'So What' with its sheer level of attitude, and the production just hits the ground running.
Commentary corner:
@Verandi: (10) What a banger. What a song. Imagine this as the lead single. Imagine.
@rick: (10) One of the few truly high points of Try This
@Sail On: (10) Girls Aloud would have aced a song like this.
@Maki: (10) WE DON'T WANNA GO HOME!' Tell 'em, P!nk! Such an anthem! This could've been an amazing single pick. The guitar solo is so necessary and sounds so good. I couldn't help myself, just bumped its score from 9,75 to a 10!
@Music Is Life: (9.5) What a – I’m not sure what the right word is. I feel like it’s kicking, but that seems dorky. You know what? I don’t care. This is a kicking song. I love the production, especially the guitar work, and the “Weeeee don’t wanna go home” chants honestly elevate the song. The near-rapid fire verses are great, and the chorus just ties everything together. Another potential single on this album.
@Sprockrooster: (9) A bit of Arcade Fire isn't it?
@R27: (8) P!nk strikes me as the kind of person who always hypes up how “bad” she is without actually being all that bad or dangerous. Thus, she never fully sells me on these kind of songs, but they can still be pretty fun when she doesn't come off like she's taking herself too seriously. Thankfully, this is one of these times; plus the production on the chorus is pretty cool and the sentiment of not wanting to go home on a night out is pretty relatable.
@abael: (6) I enjoy this on a surface level, but is hollow and forgettable in retrospect.
@savilizabeths: (6) “I feel like I should like this more than I do but it’s just not a favourite of mine. Some of the lyrics feel clunky and like a draft. It’s fun though.”
I love to see it, if only for tanking some gems in her discography earlier in the rate.@Verandi's pain isn't over yet.
Karma!@Verandi's pain isn't over yet.
