      @@D3bs1109 That's a pretty good one. Breathe Me would probably be the track I would point to in terms of beginning exposure as Sia states "it resuscitated my dying career" because Colour The Small One (an album of hers) had pretty subpar success in grabbing the attention of a mainstream audience so to have Breathe Me being used in the ending song for a popular TV series (Six Feet Under) really paved the way for Sia to continue performing and making music. Which was a... tumultuous road to even get to then and the pop hit Chandelier but it's a pretty cool career arc, at least. 😅

    What a lot of people point out when Avril came into the music industry was that she really stood out compared to all the polished and glam teen idols at the time like Britney and Christina. She showed a more raw and vulnerable side in her music as she experienced life as a teenager. A lot of young people connected to that and propelled her into stardom. Regarding the her first single, it was good song that people liked. What really did it for Avril was her image and lyrics I’d say.

      Sia did that with Chandelier as her solo career was mostly indie before that release. Actually, scratch that, I don't think any Sia fan who chimed in even during her 'We Are Born' era would've recognized that it was Sia because her vocals in all her studio albums back then were so much more withdrawn. If you want to see the difference; listen to Chandelier then either to Breathe Me, Soon We'll Be Found or Clap Your Hands right after. The vocal leap can be jarring. 😅

    2. ranking songs named on diseases or injuries or accidents or disasters etc( I'm not sure if we have got it in a number sufficient for making a video upon it)(like heart attack, Stockholm syndrome etc kinda).
    3. or, you can guess a song along side a competitor by playing it on reverse and then gradually make it harder by increasing the speed on reverse by a certain percentage and every time you guess it wrong, idk put some punishment there.(I am not quite sure if it's gonna be a bit complicated to play).
    4.The name place Animal thing game.( U can add categories like emotions, Time/numbers etc)
    You can divide your white board in these four categories and then rank and decided which category has the best songs:-).
    Like in name category-: songs named after names.( Olivia, bloody Mary,etc)
    In place category-: Carolina ,cornelia street,etc.
    Animal category-: animals, who let the dogs out roar etc.
    Thing category-: umbrella, chandelier, maps, cardigan, etc.
    Emotions category-: emotions, lonely, alone, happy etc.
    Time/number category-: a thousand years, a thousand miles, 18, 22, 7 rings, A.M. etc.
    5.Guess the song by describing the music video to the other person.
    7. Famous artists who are good songwriters but bad/average vocalists vs famous artists who are good vocalists but bad/average songwriters.
    6. Singers when they write a song for themselves vs when they write thr song for other artists.
    And as you used to be a drummer; these topics might just interest you;
    1. Most viewed drumming videos on UA-cam.
    2. Singers who can drum vs drummers who can sing.
    Hope you like these ideas Rami.

    I'm a bit late today, I was listening to Eurovision songs... Speaking of which, Joel isn't it time you react to them?

    Dua Lipa blew up with “Blow you mind (Mwah)” in 2016, “New Rules” came out later, when she had all ready made it in the U.K., it didn’t make her famous, it got her trending on UA-cam so people in America saw it, making her a big name in the states, she had already performed at the Summer Time Ball by Capital FM a few times and the Jingle Bell Ball (same radio station) by the time “New Rules” came out.

    okay but hozier was robbed of the "interesting lyrics" tag,,,, like in my opinion that song has the most interesting lyrics out of ALL of these

    I feel like Hozier should've gotten a point for interesting lyrics as well. I mean c'mon man, "Take me to Church" and basically every single one of his songs (most of them anyway) have such great lyrics! Maybe it's just me tho

    I love Coldplay and Keane. Everything they made had a painful sincerity that gave them an edge I just love.

    Now everytime Joel says "a little bit" my brain will complete the sentence with "pitchy", no matter what he's saying. Even if he says "a little bit sad", my brain's gonna put "pitchy" right over that "sad".
