HERE
Now it's time to see who is eliminated!!
5 members stand before me, but only 4 will continue on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
The first person I call has been deemed best of the week and will have their names displayed in my signature until the next judging...
The best entry is...
1) EDGEOFADDICTION
Beautiful entry, very heartfelt, and the music spoke most of all. This was a different side from you, it was nice seeing it. You received a combined judge average of 2 and a combined contestant average of 1.25!
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
2) COLLIN
Staying consistent and your entry was also well done! You received a combined judge average of 2 and a combined contestant average of 3!
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
3) ENERGY
I agree with what you said in your biggest and weakest post. You are your own biggest competition because you are essentially competing with yourself to be the best. You received a combined judge average of 3 and a combined contestant average of 1.75!
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
Will Boyonce and VJoker please step forward.
I only have one name typed out in the Teal font below and that person will be moving on to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member.
Boyonce --- I honestly thought I would never see the day in this competition that you would land in the bottom 2. You proved me wrong. Since the beginning of the competition, you came out strong, being called first 3 times and the other times still being at the top of the pack. As of late, you stayed strong, but not as strong as you once were. This week's challenge, you well kind of flat which is ironic because your entry was about your songbirds and women vocalists. Something about it just didn't stand out from the rest.
VJoker --- You are the opposite of Boyonce. In the beginning, you were here then you were there, just everywhere in the rankings. Then you found your niche and found yourself in the top of the pack. You used your creativeness to stand out from the rest and it worked. Lately though, you have been slipping as well. This week's challenge, you went for the image approach like you did in the music video challenge. While creative and it stood out from the rest, the music didn't do the talking. I had to read to get the impact, then at the end listen to the songs.
So who stays in the competition?
4) BOYONCE
Congratulations, you are still in the running to becoming ATRL's Next Top Member!
Ultimately, you have been stronger than VJoker overall. I think the rest of the judges may be upset with me though. I asked them to rank you all on who deserves to stay, and those who gave rankings, ranked you at the bottom. However, I feel like you still have something to prove. You received a combined judge average of 4.5, the lowest, and a combined contestant average of 3.25, also the lowest!
VJoker --- You received a combined judge average of 3.5 and a combined contestant average of 3! Along the lines of the overall rankings of who deserves to stay, like I mentioned with Boyonce, from those I recieved from, you were either should definitely stay or should definitely be eliminated. Never that happy medium. However, I see A LOT of potential in you. I have been seeing your name else where on ATRL and people having fun with you. I can see you being a stand out who didn't win from this competition!
Keep an eye out for Matty Mail later this evening!
Fierce and Love

Boyonce and Energy ain't even here!
