Suq's song
Spoiler:
Initial response, kind of like the intro. But it seems to be extending too long. Takes over a minute to kick into the main song. So a club song, strong beat, passable melody, same 20 words repeated throughout the song. Video is kind of cool. Uh oh, different lyrics. I mean I wouldn't turn this off; I could even see putting it into some play lists. It's pretty damn catchy actually.


eb's song
Spoiler:
EB going with some symphonic metal. Really strong opening, vocals are a bit of a weak spot, but the music is pretty interesting. This is pretty cool actually. Good energy and the vocals get better for the most part.


Results:
Spoiler:
Pretty close, both of these are catchy and engrossing in their own way. But
Spoiler:
eb's feels much richer musically and it is also a genre that I have little to no exposure to. Could this be our first sweep? It's 2-0 EB going into the last category.

Suq's
Spoiler:
So I see why they are called televisor. Is all their stuff television theme inspired? I dig the cadences in this song, and the underlying cheers theme woven gives it a vague familiarity that is kind of comforting.


EBs
Spoiler:
starts kind of slow, picks up, backs back down. Decent song I suppose, much better when it has a fuller sound IMO. I like the part starting at 3ish better than the part before. I guess the song starts emo and gets optimistic?


Results:
Spoiler:
Did a little reskimming, and no sweep Too many areas of the chrvchs song that dragged it down. If it started at the 3 min mark it might have won. 2-1 eb

Only way I can finish this is if you post categories for quarters, semis and finals asap, so I can submit winning entries to all those rounds before I leave.

A song featuring intercontinental collaboration or featuring two (or more) Languages; eg:

When do you get back from vacation nick? Maybe I'll just finish group stages in the next few days and hold off on the bracket until after the holidays. Reveals coming when I am done with poker.
