Sounds like Demi wants to get on the stage, OK let's let her. Here she is performing Get Back.
And we'll double bill that, also performing is Katy Perry doing her song everybody knows by now, I Kissed A Girl.
You might call me crazy, but I still love ATRL from the bottom of my heart. With that said, my top 10 favorite posters of the year. Again, if you don't make this list don't feel ashamed. It takes a LOT to get on here.
10. Ace Reject (Bart) - Well, you did drop a few ranks this year.
9. Miss Marnie - She is very sweet and a great avatar maker.
8. Cloud/Ashley's Fool - Still don't know either well, but friendly.
7. Chad - Bonnie McKee fan! Gotta respect the guy for that.
6. Anthony Kerty/JGibson - Well, JGibson has had his moments and enjoyed his time on ATRL. He doesn't like Lenka for some reason, which I'm starting to enjoy. Anthony Kerty is also #6 because he's very friendly and nice. One false move and you'll get bashed by him.
5. Red - Very knowledgeable, he knows his way around ATRL! Mess with him and you'll get burned.
4. TC - The ayatola of rock n rolla TC himself. He knows how to rock it! Very friendly too and very caring.
3. Brandon/Johnald/JT - Johnny, Brandon and JT all get #3 for the same reason, their countdowns are HOT Plus they're very nice and determined to get the job done.
2. MC Steven - Yes he may have the Best Countdown according to my Year-End chart, but he ain't the best poster though it is VERY close. Has followed my charts extensively over the years. Steven, you can still see my charts on M4B Charts Central
1. Ron (Yankee04) - Ron wins again as Poster Of The Year. He's not only a fan of Paramore, but he likes a lot of things including being around good friends and has a rockin countdown you all need to check out!
NOTABLES:Kworb, Champ, Matty
We can't do a list without the worst ATRL posters:
5. BeyoncesGirl - Kinda annoying
4. Shane - VERY Annoying and said I'm an idiot.
3. Delicious - No offense girl, but I just can't seem to like you.
2. Mazen - What!? The Mazen isn't #1 on this? Are you nuts?
1. Eli's Rhythm - Again, no offense but you disrespected me.
IMO, BEST POSTER OF THE 2000s:MC Steven
In all the years I've done my charts, MC Steven has been around the longest and has probably voted on my chart and commented the most. Ron only started bolstering his total just recently but it's not enough to dethrone the people's champion, MC Steven.
NOTABLES
2. Johnald
3. Ace Reject
4. Matt (who made my first avatar)
5. TC
6. Yankee04 (Ron)
7. Tina
8. Mikal
9. Chad
10. Ben
Stay tuned, coming up tomorrow we'll reveal who missed the top 200 of my endchart and we'll also reveal the Top 40 Reality Stars Of The Year! Don't miss this. That not enough? How about Kevin Rudolf and Kellie Pickler performing live too?
