New poll! "Beautiful Things" vs. "Lose Control"
🕑 Added 2025-12-11 19:37:45 +0000 UTCAs always, we do our final episode of the year with two of the year's biggest songs, and unfortunately, most of 2025's biggest songs were from 2024 so that's what we're doing this year. Come and argue which (over)singer-songwriter had the better overplayed song of '23 and/or '24, Benson Boone's "Beautiful Things" or Teddy Swims's "Lose Control"!

This episode's stances on Benson Boone slotted neatly into • Hate-Fuck: Nina • Hate-Marry: Todd • Hate-Kill: Kevin

Went with Teddy Swims cause I prefer Lose Control, but I honestly don't hate Beautiful Things like a lot of people, I think the only real issue with the song is the chorus being a little much. However, I think the best single I've heard from Benson is "Mr. Electric Blue", a kinda weird more dancey rock song that I think is pretty fun and odd in a good way. Anyway, my real reason for commenting is my utter confusion and disbelief that you didn't cover the main reason I voted for Blue Christmas instead of Christmas (Baby Please Come Home); the cover in "The Year Without A Santa Claus" played over a montage of sad pictures drawn by the sad children singing it. Huge childhood Christmas special for me, and an absolute stand out moment compared to the fun original songs featured in the special. Very well done imo, and the main thing I think of when I think of that song, even over Elvis. Merry Christmas Todd and Happy Hanukkah Alina! 🩷🎄🕎

I should like Boone. He has the rocking guitar. But their is only so much lame a man can take and teddy sings better. So I'm voting for the new garbage album cause I have good taste

Beautiful Things is the better song because its worse but not as boring
Nico
I had never heard either of these songs, but Loose Control seems fine whereas I couldn't get past 30 seconds of Beautiful things

Since this poll is still stuck in 2024, I’m voting for espresso again.

Coughing baby vs. Coughing baby. It's like a sad maternity ward.

I still have no idea what Lose Control sounds like
