• Sam Ary +1
• fionmul +1 — see, this is it
• Edward James +1 — Perfection. Bravo. A testament to the genre
• Regina Scime +1

Claire: This song dances from irony, to honest confession, to feigned innocence, until it’s impossible to tell which is which. If that’s not a femme fatale I don’t know what is

• Sam Ary +1
• fionmul +1 — Britney is a bad girl summer icon forever and always. Stay Toxic, girls!
• Edward James +1 — Came in expecting to dismiss this, but it’s too on theme. The casual indifference is the key. Also, never caught the titanic reference in the spoken word part. Very 2000
• SamRobertsND +1 — Britney has probably caused many a fan suicide. Indeed fatal.
• judd.baker +1 — Can’t resist upvoting
• [DELETED] +1

fionmul: "They say looks can kill and I might try... Lately I've been dressing for revenge"

• Edward James +1 — Is Taylor Swift doing femme fatale cringe? Yes. Would work on me….yes 😔 Therefore I must upvote.
• Claire +1 — Yep this unquestionably fits the theme
• Joseph Harvey +1 — 🎯
• Regina Scime +1
• fionmul 0 — If you downvoted you hate women (if you're a woman it's within your rights)
• SamRobertsND 0 — Again, I don’t think “I’m a bad bitch, baby” is the vibe
• [DELETED] -1

• SamRobertsND +1 — Meatloaf’s distant descendant
• Regina Scime +1
• fionmul 0 — I didn't like it.
• Edward James 0 — IMO there’s an important difference between the badass woman stereotype and the femme fatale
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Let’s let this sound stay in the 80s shall we

judd.baker: Dos baddies, dos idiomas, un temazo

• Sam Ary +1
• SamRobertsND +1 — Somewhere Peter’s students are booping to this while not doing his homework.
• Claire +1 — Not clear that this is femme fatale energy but the caption merits an upvote
• Edward James 0 — I love Ana Tijoux, but sorry Judd, lightning isn’t striking twice
• fionmul -1 — There are far better Spanish songs you could have chosen for this round, Judson. And for this reason I downvote to call you higher.

• fionmul +1 — Irish femme fatale, a fresh take and I liked it. You got my last vote.
• Claire +1 — She was the blueprint
• Edward James 0 — Very good and on theme but just got beat out by others
• SamRobertsND 0 — Wholesome but I want to hear the woman, not the dumb simps
• Sam Ary -1

• [DELETED] +2
• fionmul 0 — Liked it more than I'll admit in-person but the yelling is just not bonita fo me boo
• Edward James 0 — Nope
• SamRobertsND 0 — When the girl who glanced at you during young adult event doesn’t ask you out afterwards.
• Claire 0 — I don’t have any more votes left but excellent song
• ared56 -1
• judd.baker -1 — I liked zero percent of this

Edward James: An essential trait of the femme fatale is the ability to turn a man into a pathetic, simpering mess who she can then hold just a hair’s breadth away. This song examines the man’s perspective.

• ared56 +1
• fionmul 0 — the femme fatale don't give a shit about your simp-ass perspective; stay on-theme
• SamRobertsND 0 — If you have to explain this much, the song doesn’t speak to the theme on its own well enough. I like the song, though.
• judd.baker 0 — Lyrically I think I get it but this doesn’t *sound* like a femme fatale song
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Less F150 commercial than most AM but it’s not enough
• Claire -1 — 10/10 song but the lyrics are also perfectly compatible with the girl being utterly wholesome and the guy just being a hopeless romantic (or a simp)

• judd.baker +2 — This was so good
• fionmul 0 — The vibe was close but lyrics weren't it for me (googling led to more confusion)
• Edward James 0 — Not fatale
• ared56 0 —
• Joseph Harvey 0 — Too goofy to be fatale
• SamRobertsND -1 — Reminds me of the shit that gets blasted into my ears by the gym speakers.
• Regina Scime -1

• fionmul 0 — not badass enough; too kosher.
• SamRobertsND 0 — Hillary Clinton Rally-core, unfortunately played at Bengals games. Sung by women who protest too much methinks.
• judd.baker 0 — It’s missing the fatale imo
• Claire 0 — This song is girlboss but not sufficiently gaslight or gatekeep
• Edward James -1 — Absolutely not
• Joseph Harvey -1 — This song is a violation of the Geneva conventions
