While the entry was for how they are different and themselves. This felt like the entry you should have used for the first round about rebellion, but still a good entry nonetheless.

Miley is another artist I'm not exactly keen on, but you managed to pinpoint the theme of this round well, despite my feelings that her attitude and edginess seems really put on. It was a pretty decent job MLD but I think you seem to have trouble expressing how she fits the theme of the round.

I'll have to agree her rebellion agains the Disney image has been full forced since Can't Be Tamed and a little before that. Her styling is very apparent she does what she wants under her own scope, which especially was noticable when she had cut her hair and did the Kreayshawn look. Good job though, this round you did a lot better presenting your case! Keep it up.
I think we already knew that Evanescence was different than everyone else, so I guess that made your entry relatively easy to send in with confidence

I have to say, this is a damn good entry! You managed to really emphasis the things that make Evanescence, them. Their style, lead and composition is all fantastic and you described it perfectly, good job

So I'll have to start out saying, you showed some fairly good points on how their music is very goth rock and a bit more emotional. BUT nothing really stands them out compared to other rock bands with female leads (Paramore, Flyleaf, Stevie Nicks etc), they all have similar types of style so I was hoping you'd come for a more diverse approach to them.
Much better entry than last round. I didn't know 2NE1 spoke English, so that's new. I still found it a weak entry because there are plenty of self-empowerment songs. I've also heard a fair share of songs about thinking you are ugly, such as "Beautiful" by Christina Aguilera.

Let me just start off by saying wow. I never realised 2NE1 were so diverse yet truthful in their lyrics - granted I've never listened to them but it's definitely a feature being lost in today's generation of generic pop singers. It reminds me of Lily Allen in a sense, but obviously a more Asian version. Anyway, a really, really good submission with some great examples that show how seperate they are from the typical K/J-Pop music of today.

They have set themselves apart from most Kpop acts for quite awhile even touching overseas and the diversity in their music and songs that most pop artists wouldn't even touch; and I Don't Care & Ugly are two of the biggest songs they have that show that. Great Job!
With the lack of enthusiasm for this game, my own tardiness and disorganization, and the amount of time it takes you competitors for submissions while I don't update means this game is CANCELLED . I won't be hosting another TTLG (in it's current form ) but I hope to see you dedicated contestants and judges around the Games section.
I'm sad to see this game go. the fact that it required some work on the contestants' part was what made it interesting and different from other games and I enjoyed that. I put a lot of effort into my entries, it kinda feels like it was all for nothing now, but oh well. it was fun while it lasted.
