The tune is so good, and the voice is just the right timbre. The lyrics feel genuine, it’s not just thrown together - There’s a story being told. “And you are the dullest…” letting that line hang, cutting off short, it's clever. I’m all about it. Sounds like Arcade Fire in the best way.

really love this, probably my favourite from this round. I love the way it kinda subverts the challenge by including plenty of disses but delivering them with such affection - it warms my heart! Such a great melody and general vibe. The weird time thing you're doing (dropping a bar the first time through the chorus, I think?) is the only thing I'm not totally sure about, it doesn't detract from the song as such but I'm very AWARE of it each time and I'm not sure that's a good thing.

You paint a very clear picture here, and I really enjoyed it. The music was driving & appropriate for the story. Because this wasn’t your typical “diss” track I was worried at first when you didn’t really name a target, but your storytelling gives you a great mental image of your nameless target. Something that others this round didn’t do as well. To me at least, this is a huge turn around for you in this contest.

I really like your voice, it's nice to know you're feeling better! Great catchy tune--it feels very iconic. I can see the Bowie comparison someone else mentioned. Parts of the chorus melody kind of reminded me of "The Promise" by When In Rome (in particular, that "We've come a long way baby..." part makes me think of "I'm sorry but I'm just thinking of the right words to say...")--aspects of the production probably had something to do with this too. I didn't love the actual sharpest/dullest lines for a couple of reasons (they felt mean/condescending in a way the other insult lines didn't, and instead of sounding like a double insult it just sounds to me like you're rephrasing the same insult), but I did really love the dullest/fullest/cruelest rhymes and the overall sweet arc of that verse, and the general biting but affectionate timbre of the lyrics. I like the every-other-line chorus thing at the end there too. Personally, I don't think I would really characterize this as a diss track, but it's good stuff.
