Yerushalayim - Live	Yerachmiel Begun & The Miami Boys Choir	Claire	6 Joseph Harvey +2 — Not expecting this to go this hard ared56 +1 SamRobertsND +1 fionmul +1 — no me gusta the intro/instrumentation but the kid's vocals went off (reminds me of the A Million Dreams kid in The Greatest Showman) and this won me over by the end bigtime Sam Ary +1 Peter Seeley 0 — Weird but enjoyable. Feels very Brad coded for some reason Edward James 0 — They got those 12 year olds singing for their lives
Dragostea din tei	O-Zone	Sam Ary	5 SamRobertsND +1 Peter Seeley +1 — This was quite enjoyable. Turns out, pop can be quite fun fionmul +1 — Ugh a bop ofc. I can’t explain but this is also millennial core to me. Edward James +1 — Wow I forgot this is a whole song. This is probably the one I enjoyed the most. Very evocative of that specific early online era. Claire +1 — Thought about submitting this one. It really feels like a relic of a bygone era Regina Scime 0 — Enjoyed experiencing the source of the meme Joseph Harvey 0 — Europeans will start two world wars and then produce this
Turandot, Act III: Nessun dorma!	Giacomo Puccini, Luciano Pavarotti, John Alldis Choir, Wandsworth School Boys Choir, London Philharmonic Orchestra, Zubin Mehta	Regina Scime	5 Peter Seeley +2 — I don't really like opera, and I loved this SamRobertsND +1 fionmul +1 — ofc Sam Ary +1 Edward James 0 — I can't pretend I enjoy this. Incredibly talented of course but I'm not drawn to it. Joseph Harvey 0 — Hard to argue with but feels a little basic. This round is an opportunity to introduce others to the weird and wonderful unknown
Weyu Lárigi Weyu	Andy Palacio, the Garifuna Collective	judd.baker	4 Regina Scime +2 Claire +1 — This was cool. Enjoyed the guitar solo shea nowicki +1 Peter Seeley 0 — Love me some African music. With that said, a slightly lethargic pick from that exuberant continent. Still, would have been my fifth vote. fionmul 0 — Again not enough votes and this didn’t stick out quite enough Edward James 0 — I liked this a lot but it just didn't seem to be something I'd call out as exceptional. Great easy listening.
SUPERESTRELLA	Aitana	ared56	3 Edward James +2 — This was my favorite of the bunch by far. What an amazing pop song. judd.baker +1 — Probably my favorite on this list shea nowicki +1 fionmul 0 — Didn’t stand out a ton against the others Claire 0 — I am definitely an enjoyer of girly pop but this was just okay as girly pop goes Joseph Harvey 0 — It’s surreal hearing the occasional f word bubble up from this murky soup of unknown words Peter Seeley -1 — It sounds like an American pop song that happens to be in Spanish.
Chollima on the Wing	North Korean Archives	SamRobertsND	3 Joseph Harvey +2 — Chilling, surreal, whimsical. Something I could picture playing in an abandoned mall in a quirky dystopian sci fi movie I would love ared56 +1 Peter Seeley +1 — Very strange and original Claire +1 — Feels wrong to vote for this but it’s a bop Edward James 0 — Heck yeah fionmul -1 — not for me at all Regina Scime -1 — I can’t think about North Korea without getting weirded out
La flaca	Jarabe De Palo	fionmul	2 ared56 +2 judd.baker +1 shea nowicki +1 Peter Seeley 0 — Judd, this was fun, but not outstanding. Still I enjoyed it. fionmul 0 — I danced to this before I could walk and sang it before Spanish was more than syllables to me. The percussion is one of my fave parts. And the meaning is funny. Claire 0 — This song has a chill vibe but started to feel kind of meh and repetitive after a bit Edward James -1 — Found this generally uninspired Joseph Harvey -1
Le Festin	Camille, Michael Giacchino	shea nowicki	2 SamRobertsND +1 fionmul +1 — Perhaps obvious but a classic for a reason. As I sit in the villa classroom working on some stuff with the windows open letting in the warm Tuscan air and natural light, it fit my vibe well Regina Scime +1 Peter Seeley 0 — This song would be great if it weren't sung in a weirdly american way(despite the artist being French). Great tune, in French, but sung in a weirdly constricted way. Edward James 0 — Just don't really like the trad style French songs that much judd.baker 0 — I Joseph Harvey 0 — Cute but forgettable Claire -1 — Last time we did this round I did in fact mention this song as the superior Camille movie soundtrack song. Whether or not this player remembered said comment when they made this submission, it feels slightly unoriginal in light of the previous round, though it is a great song in itself
Woza Meli Wami - Live at the Nelson Mandela Theatre	Soweto Gospel Choir	Peter Seeley	1 Edward James +1 — There's a level of vocal power that black choirs seem to be able to achieve that isn't replicated anywhere else. Beautiful. judd.baker +1 Regina Scime +1 fionmul 0 — Not enough votes bro. Was sort of waiting for some instruments to come in and tempo to change but it didn’t really. Joseph Harvey 0 — I expect this will do numbers ared56 -1 Sam Ary -1
Тает лёд	Грибы, Sимптом	Edward James	1 shea nowicki +1 Sam Ary +1 fionmul 0 — Kinda goes off -- something about Russian rap. In the end was won over Edward James 0 — I hope these boys have made it through the Russian invasion alright Claire 0 — Umm…interesting. Beat had me bobbing my head a little but I feel without knowing the lyrics I’m not really “getting” this song Joseph Harvey 0 — Can the Russians not sing in tune judd.baker -1 — I just did not enjoy this at all, with apologies to the submitter
Når Solen Går Ned	Mirar	Joseph Harvey	1 judd.baker +1 — Yeah I’d say this rocked Claire +1 — Joseph this is cool Sam Ary +1 Peter Seeley 0 — Beautiful singing ruined by the industrial machinery in the background. Sorry Joseph fionmul 0 — some of the background music was sorta unpleasant to my ears but I acknowledge this is very cool and skillful Edward James 0 — le juxtaposition! SamRobertsND -1 shea nowicki -1
