This is the kind of challenge that makes me want to apply again next season (with a much more impressive app nnn). I have exactly 5 main faves so this challenge is perfect for me, one song per fave
I'm definitely applying next season. I miss playing already
Hello everyone. I am have completed my judgings for this round (It should be in Matty's Inbox as we speak).
In doing this judging I felt it was necessary to do some back research to understand how far along all of the contestants had done to come this far into the competition to gain a better perspective of what each of the contestants have presented to the Top Member panel.
With that said, I can understand we have lost a very significant member to ATRL within the last day, a Top Member at that. In working with DOMINO, I have felt DOMINO had a buzz. DOMINO had a vibe (with me at least) of being chill and fun (for a games section member anyway). Just like you all, I would have wanted to know the back story as to what motivated DOMINO to leave in a drastic manner.
With this said, I can understand their is a questioning of becoming a member of this panel with reasons along the lines of:
1. My placement in the Top Member competition way back in Cycle 8
2. Having a minimal amount of presence in the Cycle 11 thread
3. Replacing DOMINO, the top member of last cycle.
I can assure you all I cannot truly represent DOMINO for the member DOMINO was. We have come to respect DOMINO to be what DOMINO was, a top member. I can offer in his place my perspective as a member since season 8 of Top Member and with the time I have been with this forum site. I am really excited to be a part of this panel and I am glad to fulfill DOMINO's wishes to be a part of this panel. I also would like to thank Matty that despite your concerns for me to be a part of this panel, I am humbled that you followed DOMINO's wishes and I thank you for allowing me the opportunity to join this panel.

Mary just don't give a damn no more.
I live in southern United States. This song not only represents my love for country music when I was younger, but how my town is like. People here are filth. I'm surrounded by trashy, ignorant rednecks whose cultural awareness doesn't extend past their mud stained trucks and deer kills. I don't belong here. ANYWAY back when I was a youngin' my dad would play a lot of country music and being the impressionable chile I was, I came to like country music. It's what got me into music and one of my first faves, Taylor Swift, is (or was) an artist of that genre. I can't stand her now tho, what kinda GROWTH?
Tell me somethin', Where yo boss at?
Where my ladies up in here that like to talk back?
I wanna see her, I'd like to meet ya
What you say, she ain't no diva
Everything about this song is fierce. It's also the only upbeat song in this story so savor it. R&B is one of my fave genres and Bey is one of my fave artist. I just LOVE a good bop I can get crunk to. A fierce song from a fierce artist. I remember in 7th and 8th grade where I used to be really open about my Bey love, I felt so free. However I grew insecure about my music taste and started to hide it, and a lot of other things about myself, from people. *sigh* This song also reflects on the OUTRAGEOUS aspect of my personality. I can be a demanding, temperamental bitch sometimes. But I can't help it! People are always TRYING and TESTING it. For the most part I'm a sweetheart, but I can proudly say that I'm a diva.

I also like to listen to plain music. The absence of words can be very soothing and what I need sometimes. This song covers the love aspect of my life. I love many things, music, traveling, Victoria's Secret, video games, boys... mm. This song is titled Unrequited Love, and well, my story is self explanatory. When I crush on a boy, I crush hard. My current crush has been going on for years, and isn't looking to stop anytime soon, r.i.p. OK so, on a lighter note, and a different type of love, Pokémon. A multimedia franchise that's a big part of my childhood. It made me so happy. It's so cute and the games were fun and it's super successful so it's easy to stan for, weeps. Then there's the Pokémonsters of ATRL (which I'm the leader of hehe). I feel so comfortable and at home with them, something even the Mariah Base couldn't provide.
I will be alright
If I can find that rainbow's end
Mariah, my fave. She's been my queen for the longest. She's what brought me to ATRL, introduced me to this world of stanning and helped me come to terms with my sexuality and who I really am. I don't love her as much as I used to but I still get hurt when people drag her. She's FINALLY coming out with a new album (available on iTunes May 27th) after 5 years. Both of us late divas, we are so connected. I chose this song from her because it's about hope, which is what gets me through a lot of things. The thought of my life being different, finding love, my dreams coming true, etc. Someday.
Stuck in the same place I've always been.
And I'll keep wonderin' and wonderin'
And wonderin' and wonderin'
When will my life begin?
Here it is, the Disney song, and one of the songs I relate to most. The music is composed by Alan Menken, who composed the music for a lot of Disney movies, including The Little Mermaid. Future EGOT recipient (he just needs an Emmy!) and has made a huge impact in the film and music world. However he's 64 and might die soon, is this how Madonna stans feel? I've always loved Disney as a child but I never realized how much I can identify with their characters until sometime last year. People tend to dismiss Disney songs as children's music when it's really not. You don't have to like it but if you're gonna drag, do it right. This song addresses Rapunzel's wondering about her life and future, which is exactly what I think about everyday. Like I said in the Mariah chapter, it will happen one day.
But there was some slight, uh... hesitation to accept you as Domino's replacement from some.
