Song:- 18/20

EDIT - 9/10
Very well-done throughout.  There is a hint of something extra at the very start, but this isn't a major deal.  Song quality appears slightly harsh in some places, but again this didn't really affect my enjoyment of the song.  Clean ending and good length.

SUITABILITY - 9/10
What would a simfile contest be without Jenny Rom?  Really glad you chose one of her lesser known songs.  For me, the melody isn't as instantly catchy as Senorita or www.Blonde Girl but no-one can deny that this is prime DDR material - the hyper bouncy tempo is perfect and offers great potential for really fun steps.


Steps:- 39/60

LIGHT - 14/20
Once the GAP has been fixed, these steps aren't too bad.  They are very stream-heavy and lack a lot of variety, but there is a good use of jumps throughout.

STANDARD - 12/20
A bit of a mixed bag here.  Some parts worked very well (like the jumpy lead-up to the first verse) while others just seemed awkward (the breakdown before the last chorus comes to mind)  The steps feel varied and yet seem a bit erratic with no feeling of consistent flow running through the whole stepset.

HEAVY - 13/20
At the very most, these steps are an easy 8 footer.  They do have much better flow, and the offbeat 8th notes are well positioned.  One odd part was the measure before the chorus where the arrows were actually mirroring the silences instead of the steps!  Not bad all in all, but they seem to lack something to make them memorable.


Graphics:- 8/15

These graphics would actually be really good if it wasn't for the horrible aliasing on the border of the text and the fill gradient and colours used on the song title in the BG.  The images used were very vibrant and colourful, like the song, but the poor text really lets these graphics down!  CD-Title is appropriate and works fine.


Tilt:- 1/5
I desperately wanted to love this DWI cos I love Jenny Rom, but the bad GAP teamed with shabby graphics and half-baked steps left me feeling very disappointed.  Still think the song rules though!


Extras/Penalties:- -2.5

GAP off - -5
CD-Title - 2
Lyrics - First time I've seen four lines of text appear at once....then disappear before the second line is still being sung!  You missed out some lyrics too, noticeably anything the guy says!  Half-mark for trying! - 0.5


TOTAL - 18 + 39 + 8 + 1 + (-2.5) = 63.5
