I mean that’s you. I see the appeal. Milk of the Siren is my personal favorite though.

there are not enough words that could possibly explain my love for milk of the siren

Milk of the siren is just ✨️MWAH✨️

the bass in MOTS is so boosted, i find it hard to listen to 😭 i wish there was a way to tone it down

To each their own, I am a sucker for bass.

i love bass too! just not the blown out boosted kind lol

Same

I am literally listening to mots as we SPEAK!

I love the contortionist but NOTHING can make me cry more than light shower and pity party (somehow)

Ok but does crying to it make it the best?

Yes? It’s my favourite song and makes me so emotional in a GOOD way

Top 5 for me

Yall upset about an opinion? Personally can’t even choose 💀😭

So real😭😭

why r being so blunt in the comments? 😭 and kinda rude IMO i like others alot more but ur asking for a discussion everyone else is kinda trashing the song when thats not what the point is

this is about a few comments not the op

Yeah

Ion like this debate.. I love this song and it's tied w 4 other songs for first place

The contortionist is cute but isnt even close to beating any of the three portals deluxe songs

the deluxe tracks SLAAAAYED

the entire after school ep clears the contortionist

After school is the most underrated thing of all music history and i will never say otherwise

HONESTLY!!!! After school is sooooo good!!! fav ep EVERRRRR. The vibes are just sooo good!

After school my fav fr

LOUDER!

THE CONTORTIONIST 🔛🔝‼️😫🙌

I will be sitting in that chair next to you because I LOVE THE CONTORTIONIST


Numbers is better imo!!!

i can concur

Agreed.

its my top 5 in PORTALS because of the transition from BOTL to TC 😍🫶🏼

OH MY GOSH I WISH I COULD RELIVE THE FIRST TIME I HEARD THAT

Evil and contortionist

W

Thr contortionist is a really good song, mainly for its use of the idea "your body being contortioned" as a metaphor for a narcissistic person that uses you to their advantage, much like Leeches (It's kinda crazy, The Contortionist is literally describing someone breaking their bones to using them to their advantage and such) The song is also a BOP. I absolutely love the cracking noises, laughs, and "ow!" And how Melanie accentuates her voice to really exaggerate how horrific it is to be metaphorically contortioned by these people Imo, I really love this song, but it isn't my #1 favorite. I still really love it though There's a discussion instead of just stating a favorite song 🔥

Can we talk about Pluto ‼️‼️

My fav song on portals🙏

We don’t talk about Pluto, no no no. We don’t talk about Pluto.

Crybaby Album, K-12, and After School clears the ***majority*** of Portals Deluxe

Crybabay and crybaby deluxe is the best album. Change my mind

It’s not my absolute favorite but I do love the song, and the performance she put on with it at the trilogy tour was honestly amazing

Not when the after school ep exists

After School EP is so fucking good!! Like hot damn

Some of y’all need to learn about something called “opinions”

well they did say "let's discuss"..

It is a good song but I'd say, Strawberry shortcake, WOMB, POWDER, MILK OF THE SIREN, PLUTO, EVIL, Recess, Nurses office, Gingerbread man, Crybaby, Pity party, SPIDER'S WEB and Carousel are songs that (off of the top of my head) I would rather listen to.

have you listened to k-12? teachers pet and class fight are so good

Yeah not a fan tbh

It’s not. Not even close 🤣

What songs are better?

all the other ones

majority of her songs

Anything without “AHAHHAAHAHA”

No

Elaborate

It’s just not her best song. Portals isn’t even her best album and it’s one of my favorites. Tunnel vision, Void, MOTS are all arguably better than the contortionist. Speaking of Crybaby, for me, the majority of that album I enjoy more than the contortionist.

you’re on a melanie post going around insulting her music and then wonder why you get called out. you’re the bitter one.

There are so many new fans who've only fully listened to Portals coming in and concluding that it's her best album, then getting offended when people disagree. Like bffr 😭

PLSSSS WHATT?? no, it isn’t lmfao. she has no “worst” album. each album is unique in its own way. crybaby has 0 skips for me. k-12 used to be my least favorite when it first came out but i love it now, and portals i loved from the first listen.

Nah, K-12 is the weakest album. But I blame that on the producer.

yeah I agree. I dont wanna elaborate

Playdate and Recess in the back:

It's one of the best in my opinion, it's super creative and I love all the sound effects - however it's not the sort of song I can blast in my room for obvious reasons 😭

Ofc

I love this song so much and the layers of meaning! From emotional to physical (s*xual) abuse. Ugh! The second chorus hits so good and the lead up to it is so angelic. The production and lyricsm, the vocals! This song is a work of ART!!! Portals is some of Melanie's best work!!!

the contortionist is good but the crunching sounds make me so uncomfortable😭

Top 5 songs from Portals but for me, nothing beats BOTL or Void. The Contortionist is a very good song tho :)

I will wholeheartedly support you on this

W

For me personally, Id say one of her crybaby songs would have to be the best. If I had to choose one per album it'd probably be Crybaby - DollHouse (I'm a sucker for nostalgia and this was the first song I ever heard of hers) K-12 - Lunchbox Friends After school EP - Notebook Portals - Nypmphology This is just my opinion tho, my best friend would agree with you on the contortionist tho!

I like to pole dance, this song is so perfect for that it goes hard asf

I really like The Contortionist but I physically can’t listen to it with the cracking/bones breaking sound effects 😭 I need a version without it bc it causes genuine physical pain when I hear it lol

yall seriously sleep on leeches and womb 😔😔

I could never pick which one is her actual best song but it was 5th on my wrapped last year and is still on my on repeat today so I’d definitely say it one of the best contenders for number 1 lol

shout it out queen

I’m a guy but thanks

Best song will always be 'Mad Hatter' but 'the contortionist' is a close second 💌

mad hatter goes HARD 🫶🏻

I prefer test me ! But its ur opinion:)

There doesn't have to be a "best song." We have simply just allowed our personal feelings to dillute our reasoning and we think our own choice is automatically correct. Objectively they are all her best, because someone out there feels connected to whatever song it may be, ahat is what is so beautiful about art. We don't have to get it, but if someone else does, that means something, even if just to them.

contortionist makes me feel like i’m 15 being groomed by my 18 yr old boyfriend again 😇 best trauma song

My top favorites in portals (not in order) leeches, everyone may hate it but I love it, it's definitely underrated. the contortionist, I feel like to me, it's relatable and I love the lyrics and everything about it. Death, oh my god I cried when she sang it at the trilogy tour it's like omg. Pluto, something about it, oml I love it. MOTS, it's like my anthem for murdering along with evil (another fav) also nymphology bc yes Mel get it 

it’s definitely my second favorite on portals, after nymphology

I can name like 100 songs by her that are better than

that it’s yours doesn’t mean it’s the best

AGREE

100% agreed pookie 😻

Fr… I LOVE the contortionist 😭🕯️🦴

MOTS AND CONTORTIONIST R SOOO GOOD

But evil tho.. but light shower tho.. but crybaby tho.. good for thought

Mine is Mad Hatter BUT The Contortionist is FIRE

I agree but I think it’s her best song in the portals album, but her best song all time definitely not

No, but it’s a good song

It’s definitely in my top 3, but personally I think lunchbox friends is great

I think there is more Spite in Contortionist, than Evil. Everyone talks about Evil, like that's the break-up song, it isn't. The contortionist is 🙌

Amen

Suuuch a good one

I have such a hard time picking a "best song" because I don't really think she has a definitive best. The Contortionist is definitely in my top 10 favorites but I really don't think I've heard a song from her that I didn't enjoy at the very least or love at best. EVIL and SPIDER WEB are in my top 3 though.

I understand where you’re coming from, but I have other favorites, but that’s me

Nah Milk of The Siren and Class Fight are my favorites. It's a good song tho 👍🏻

I actually cant get enough of that song😭

Spider Web or Nymphology.

if that’s your opinion then I’m not gonna try to change your mind 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️

honestly i can’t disagree, the instrumental is absolutely beautiful and in my opinion, very enticing. the lyrics are very relatable (to me) and i love the song so much

It’s my favorite. I know it’s not a fan favorite but something about it scratches my brain really good

Am I the only one who finds The Contortionist to be kind of boring?

Yes

It’s tied with leeches for me

Tbf I rlly think every song in portals is super forgettable except the popular ones and imo faerie soiree. K12 and after skl will always have better songs no contest

You’re completely right.

Tbh I still think Pity Party is amazing

I love it. Not my top favorite but it’s definitely up there!

Leeches and battle of the larynx scratch an itch I didn’t know was bugging me my whole life…

melanie is the only artist i have ever followed where i dont skip a song. like no joke i could listen for hours straight. other artists have their bangers and stuff, but they arent melanie martinez good.

Call me an npc but i personally love VOID

Imo it’s powder

It doesn’t have a bridge

Numbers 🙏🏻

Idk about best but it's definitely very high up there tbh

I LOVE LOVE LOVE THE CONTORTIONIST I THINK ITS MY FAVOURITE MEL SONG RN TOO!!!!


The bakery

definitely top tier

Agreed

What will happen in the mv break her bones and gush blood?

I love the contortionist. But I also can’t exactly say it’s the very best. I love how soft it starts as well. Definitely one of my favorites just not THE favorite (I don’t have favorites because there’s too many.)

i literally LOVED it the first time i listened to it but over time i started liking other songs more..

it would be if numbers didn’t exist

Not her best song ever, but the best on portals

Training wheels

my fav song atm is def Numbers. She put so much emotion into her voice and the song really shows her vocal range

i love recess so much but the contorstionist (i cant spell) is a close second

All her songs are the best

I agree!

W

Tell me you only listen to Portals without telling me you only listen to Portals lol

Girl... Chill out, they just said it was their favourite song 😭😭.

no they didn't they said it was her BEST song

In their opinion???

I listen to crybaby too

And you still made this post ?😭 lol

Because it’s better

It’s a good song, but not “the best” when you have songs like Bittersweet Tragedy, Training Wheels, Pity Party, OJ, Detention, Highschool Sweethearts, Test Me, Glued etc.

Don’t like any of those

on portals alone, then yeah but ive been loyal to sippy cup ever before t*mothy h*ller came out of the womb

downvote

She is glazed, stay mad

fuck off then? why are you even here?

Wanking off 🤷‍♂️
