Basically if you get a bunch of drunk girls or guys in a karaoke bar and you happened to be walking past it's a song you think they would be doing. Think along the lines of Sweet Caroline or the mainstream 80s and 90s pop songs

But can they be recent songs as well or only 80s and 90s songs?

Maru wanted an AI of her as a judge. Hope she likes.

"As a judge I'd imagine my background as a musician first, but with a focus on performance, especially for choreography with ballads, synth and emotive elements. For what I would look for in a performer, it would be being creativity-driven first. Strong confidence and not afraid to show off their own unique signature style."

[AnnieK]

[Maru]

[Maru]
