Here's my review of Funnybone's Boat vs. Plane (http://www.erboh.com/forum/showthrea...l=1#post338210). Next is Joan of Arc vs. Miley Cyrus.

Spoiler: 

Boat-Round 1: Most of the lines in this verse are decent, but most of them don't stand out too much. The ones that do would be the altitude line, the flat line and the last line, which are definitely enough to earn this verse a good grade. 8/10

Plane-Round 1: This verse has too many filler lines if you ask me, the main example of this being the ''unfortunate sore loser'' line. I like the first line, but all of the other lines in this verse range from filler to only mildly amusing, at least to me. 7/10

Boat-Round 2: I feel like there's lots of potential for a good global warming joke, but the one made in this verse is too straightforward and doesn't attempt any real jokes, which is sort of like how this whole verse is. A bunch of references without any real jokes, except maybe at the end. 7/10

Plane-Round 2: The complaints I have here are pretty much the same complaints I've had with the other verses, but with a few more good lines. The service, surface and last lines are all good enough to just barely give Plane the win. 8.5/10

Overall: This battle is certainly a step up from some of your previous ones, but it's still not perfect. Honestly though, I think these characters are a bit too vague, and if you were to keep it up with more specific characters, you'd be more likely to write a good battle. 7.5/10

Boat's Best Line: They call yourself a plane because your rhymes come out flat. (although the wording on this is a bit awkward)
Boat's Worst Line: My top side of me is fun for girl's and boys.
Plane's Best Line: I will B4 your ass right out of the water!
Plane's Worst Line: Watch me beat this unlucky and unfortunate sore loser.

Final Results:
Boat: 15/20
Plane: 15.5/20

Total Score: 38/50

Here's my review of Joan of Arc vs. Miley Cyrus (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UQx1sqPHTrk). Next is PolarBore vs. Umbreon.

Spoiler: 

Beat: Well, Season 3 had a very strong start in terms of beats, as Vader vs. Hitler 3 and Blackbeard vs. Capone both had some of the best beats ERB has ever had. This beat is not as strong as those beats, but it's not bad. It IS very catchy, I will say that, but my main complaint is that it's not intense enough. It fits Miley very well, but it seems out of place for a really badass character like Joan. 8/10

Impressions and Costumes: Costume-wise, both are very accurate and have very strong facial resemblances to their characters. The thing on Miley's head and the thing on Joan's head are both unnecessary and ugly though. Miley's voice is fine, not completely spot on, but it's definitely passable. I wish that they had Michelle show off her impression of Miley's singing voice at some point in the battle, because she's especially good at that. 9/10

Miley Cyrus-Round 1: Like most people have said, Miley does have a stronger flow in this battle. It just works well with the beat. The autograph line is a decent line, but nothing spectacular. The following few lines are all pretty weak, all the way up until the party line. The stake line in this verse is very good, since that joke hasn't been worn out yet. Plus, the flow for that line is nice. The alter ego line is a pretty good line, but all in all, this verse isn't that strong lyrically. It gets extra points for the flow though. 8/10

Joan of Arc-Round 1: The beginning of the verse is really just filler to me and nothing more. It's really not that clever, and serves no purpose other than to add personality, which is important, but I like it more when the personalities are revealed naturally through the wording of the lines, like what they did with Al Capone. However, the verse picks up quickly with the tongue line and then from the Katniss line onward is just really good for the most part. The patron saint and praying line is probably the best line pair in the battle. The flow also really picks up around the Orleans line. The Wiz Khalifa line is awesome, and the last line is also pretty good, although maybe a bit fact-statey. 9/10

Miley Cyrus-Round 2: I have mixed feelings about this verse. The stake lines are actually really funny in this verse, but at the same time it feels very repetitive. The only good original line in this verse is the management line, and even that line isn't too strong. I guess I have to call it the worst verse in the battle, despite being pretty funny. 7.5/10

Joan of Arc-Round 2: The first line in this verse is very similar to the first lines in Joan's last verse in that they're just put in there to add to personality, which should be done naturally, but he rest of the lines in this verse are all range from alright to pretty good, although none of them are great. The flow in the last line is pretty nice, and is a good conclusion to the battle. 8.5/10

Overall: I don't consider this battle ''great'', and it doesn't top BB vs. Capone at all, but it absolutely doesn't deserve all the hate it gets. I think most of the hate comes from Miley haters that can't stand anything with her name in it. It has some great lines and some great flow in certain parts. It's absolutely the best woman vs. woman battle, and I really wish the haters would shut up about it, because it's by no means a bad battle. 8/10

Miley Cyrus' Best Line: You gettin' lifted on a stake, get that body burned up!
Miley Cyrus' Worst Line: You died a virgin girl, who you think you messin' with?
Joan of Arc's Best Line: Your highest calling was a text from Wiz Khalifa.
Joan of Arc's Worst Line: I came to Frenchmen's aid in the time of need!

Final Results:
Miley Cyrus: 15.5/20
Joan of Arc: 17.5/20

Total Score: 58/70

Here's my review of PolarBore vs. Umbreon (http://www.erboh.com/forum/showthrea...l=1#post338619). Next is my re-review of John Lennon vs. Bill O'Reilly.

Spoiler: 

Umbreon-Round 1: Most of this verse isn't that great, but there's a really nice stretch of 3 good lines from the Pool line to the Scatman and BBGUN line. The rest of the lines aren't that clever, but it still gets a good score from those 3 lines alone. 8.5/10

PolarBore-Round 1: This verse is really funny to me, and made me laugh out loud a few times. The add line, the 2 years line, the spouse line and the last line are all really funny lines, some of them good references and others just funny due to their randomness. 9/10

Umbreon-Round 2: The first half of this verse is pretty average, but there's not much to work with for that part, admittedly. The end of the verse is pretty funny, mainly the poo line and the last line, but it's probably the weaker of Umbreon's 2 verses. 8/10

PolarBore-Round 2: The bear line and the tortilla line both gave me good laughs and they're probably the funniest lines in the battle. The obnoxious line is also very funny, and while this isn't as strong as PolarBore's last verse, I still very much enjoyed it. 8.5/10

Overall: I was very impressed by both sides in this rap, the lines in here are some of the funniest stuff either of you have ever written. I'm glad I started this series, because the battles that have come of it have been really good, and this is one of the best ones in the topic. 8.5/10

Umbreon's Best Line: You're immature, Polio, into pears and jews named Pool!
Umbreon's Worst Line: Im loved and no one hates me, I get ladies, So get on your knees.
PolarBore's Best Line: You're an emo Dave Grohl and you will never have a spouse!
PolarBore's Worst Line: I am the world's greatest forumer, nobody knows what you are!

Final Results:
Umbreon: 16.5/20
PolarBore: 17.5/20

Total Score: 42.5/50

Here's my re-review of John Lennon vs. Bill O'Reilly (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YHRxv-40WMU). Next is Scout vs. Heavy Weapons Guy.

Spoiler: 

Beat: This beat is a bit boring to me. For some reason, the first few ERB beats were all kind of boring, especially compared to the newer ones. It's catchy, sure, but it's not intense at all. It just sounds like an ''argument'' theme and not a ''battle'' theme. 6.5/10

Impressions and Costumes: They've flat out said that they weren't trying with the impressions here, it sounds like just Peter and Lloyd. As for the costumes, Lennon's is really good for what it's going for, but I think they should've used something more iconic and well known maybe. Bill O'Reilly's tie should be blue and his hair is just way off. Overall, the costumes are just really low budget. 3/10

John Lennon-Round 1: I think this verse has too many lines about O'Reilly's temper, which I suppose is hard to avoid, but is still a problem with the verse. The Help line is a pretty good start to the battle, but the muzzle part seems thrown in there just to create a rhyme. The shower line, weed line and LSD line are all moderately funny, but nothing too special. Despite this, the last line is very strong, albeit maybe a bit predictable. 8/10

Bill O'Reilly-Round 1: This is one of those verses where my opinion has improved since my last review. The sunk line is pretty nice, but after that, there's a lack of good lines until the George Harrison line. The Ringo line is decent, and the last line is the best line of the battle in my opinion. I think this verse is stronger than Lennon's first verse just because it has more variety. 8.5/10

John Lennon-Round 2: The first 2 lines are great lines, and are arguably Lennon's best lines in the entire battle. If there's one thing this battle nails, it's the song references. The second half has nice delivery I suppose, but to me, good delivery usually can't save a lame line. Still, this verse is a nice step up. 8.5/10

Bill O'Reilly-Round 2: The Don Cheadle line is funny, yes, but I don't really get why he's taking pride in being evil. It seems like that's Lennon's argument in the battle, not his. The $10,000 shoes line is really nice, but I just really don't like the last 2 lines. One of my pet peeves in ERB is when someone says the line their most famous for without making any sort of joke about it whatsoever, and that's exactly what this verse does. 7.5/10

Overall: This battle feels pretty low budget, but for what they had to work with, it's not that bad at all. There are too many filler lines, but there are also some nice song references and some nice political jokes. Lyrically, it's certainly not the worst at all. But aside from the fact that it's the first one, it's not that memorable, and you can sort of tell in parts that they aren't that experienced yet. 7/10

John Lennon's Best Line: I'll take Maxwell's Silver Hammer and give you a lobotomy!
John Lennon's Worst Line: Every time I watch your show, all you do is scream at me.
Bill O'Reilly's Best Line: I'd rather suck George Bush's d*ck than Yoko Ono's.
Bill O'Reilly's Worst Line: You're weak, between you and me there's no comparison!

Final Results:
John Lennon: 16.5/20
Bill O'Reilly: 16/20

Total Score: 49/70
