Spoiler:
BFF up first, and yeah this is pretty hateful. they don't usually sound like this, right? i have a different image in my head of what BFF is all about. nice muscianship going on too, the piano stuff as you'd expect, but also the guitarwork, drums and whatnot. well chosen!
(there's a Dylan song or something that the beginning part reminds me of, but i can't quite place it ... "Most Likely You'll Go Your Way (& I'll Go Mine)" maybe? yeah prob)


Spoiler:
time for Dover and ... well she's saying the right things, that she's hafeful, but ... she's kinda more depressed. hate turned inward. i'm judging your hate and i don't know if i like what i see here! actually the song is pretty solid, i like it. a nice, upbeat, fun hate song. the funky guitar stuff in the bridge is neat too.


Spoiler:
close, but eyebooger wins it, up 3-1 now!
the game is his now, unless he scores negative points next round
but nobody has scored negative points ... yet

Spoiler:
ok let's burn through this one quick. the Mika song is alright, but this dude seems like a smug douchebag, and i bet i'd hate him if i knew more than the 3 seconds of the video i looked at. and something something Freddie Mercury, huh? lol Queen! so is this bad enough to lose eyebooger the game?


Spoiler:
and Willi sent in some Japanese pop-punk / power-pop tune, not bad. i can dig it. is it really a "pop" song tho? 44k views. hmm... *skepticowl*


Spoiler:
i guess Willi's song is the better of the two, and wins out despite my concerns about fit/genre. and i was probably being harsh about eyebooger's song above, given the cat (which i kinda ignored a moment ago), so no it's definitely not bad enough to lose the game.
Spoiler:
3-2 eyebooger, game over man.

as for the song, it's not super hipster-y weird or anything, but that's ok. pretty neato stuff.


and on the other side, we have a Tom Waits tune. i love me some Waits ... did gambit know or research that?

PANDA SNAP!?
nah, i'll holster that here, especially since this is a song i don't know afaik. and it's pretty solid. and it's weirder than soma's, typical Waits, so a better fit for this cat. and WE DON'T WANNA HAVE ANOTHER TIEBREAK SITUATION, NOW DO WE!?! so gambit wins!
bad beat jackpot to soma

, who showed the kind of quality that would have easily shipped the 2 previous matchups. well done! *clap*
I'd be extremely rustled if any my entries lost to a Tom Waits song.
I don't get his appeal.
