Malinda – Surrender

With a brooding sound, this song is mysterious and cool to listen to. 89/100

Ava Max – Salt

Catchy and empowering for females, I'm not one to be *salty* about this song. 91/100

How Far I’ll Go – Auli’i Cravalho

Powerful and well done, both the original and Chase's minor cover are in my favorites. Who knows how far they'll go? 88/100

Bag Raiders – Golden Wings

Original Rating and review: A powerful and strong electronic song, Golden Wings soars and is definitely worth checking out.  98 8/13/2021 re-rating: Unfortunately, Golden Wings spreads itself too thin and there is only the bridge that makes things very unusual. With the high competition of the rising "No Time to Die" in the 95~97's, there's …

Michael Jackson – Give In To Me

cool, sleek and well done, even I'm giving in to him. 95/100

Eric Clapton – Layla

I Dreamed a Dream · Chase Holfelder

though I'm a bit iffy on the original version, this one perfectly fulfills the already sad lyrics even more and provides a darker and arguably better version. 80/100

Splash Free – Watanabe Yasushi

Catchy and well done, this ending song has got me feeling sei, sei, sei, (energy) oh oh, dancing kick, kick kick, oh oh, giving illusion of deep, deep, deep, oh, oh, and indeed, it splashes free! 89/100

LÉON – You And I

I've quit RSC, but it still seems alright to follow the winners. This one is mildly interesting, lacking the punch of some of the other winners. I don't think it's going into my faves, but I do think it deserved to win, with the other entries not being that impressive. 73/100

Michael Jackson – Black or White

Not a bad message, MJ delivers another catchy and neat song. 96/100
