Good thing I didn't know you until this thread

[Tymps.]

Okay I'm almost done typing up the comments. Literally the second I finish I'll post the comments in the thread, then I'll get to work on typing up the placements which is a pain in the ass with all the [table]s.

Slightly nervous but excited nonetheless!

luv luv luvvvvvvv the song choices. I like your explanation for each song too. Girl I didn't know you were religious tho

Originally posted by conatus

I think what I like most about your entry is that you are proud of your religion, but that you don't let it define you. My problem with "I'm Not A Girl, Not Yet A Woman" (aside from the fact I hate that song despite loving Britney) is that it is an obvious choice. Your reasoning for "Family Affair" (Mary >) was pretty great, though, as you were able to expand on a pretty simple song.

Originally posted by collin

Oooh, cute I guess the #1 problem is that the Mary J/Mary Mary songs are a little too similar so it gets a bit one-note. I like what I see, however!

I don't really get the connection between JND and humor, but that's just me. The songs are great, but idk, I feel like it's lacking something.

Originally posted by conatus

I feel like we're only scratching the surface here. "I'll Be There For You" works here, and "I Hold On" could work if you gave a biT more explanation as to why it represents you. (I know you did already, but you kind of backtrack on it toward the end.) I like how you used "Jewels N' Drugs" to talk about your sense of humour, but I feel like too much time was spent talking about someone else here. I want to hear about YOU!

Originally posted by collin

I really enjoyed this one. So left-field and then the J&D toss-in strangely worked very well...? Circumstances where that song belongs are rare so I'm even more impressed. Welcome!

aww I like your entry. Cute sis

Originally posted by conatus

I like how your choices don't all deal with the same thing. "Here" is about your youth, "Solea de Libertad" is about wanting to be free, and "Fast Car" is about being able to accept when things aren't working and being able to figure out how to move past it.

Originally posted by collin

This is quite cute. Kind of effortless. I guess one thing I could say is that all these songs are kinda down-tempo'd which can get a bit repetitive.

Don't really care for the song choices but your descriptions for each song were cute af.

Originally posted by conatus

Never change! Even setting aside the fact that "This Is What Makes Us Girls" is my favourite ever Lana song, its lyrical content is definitely something that works here, as does "Part Of You World (Reprise)". Plus, "California Gurls" is a pretty out-of-the-box song for this challenge. You didn't go for something deep and poetic, and instead opted to represent yourself with something fun, vapid, and saccharine!

Girl, nice. This is so you Glad you're never afraid to stay true; I think that might get you far in this game.

Originally posted by conatus

My favourite part of your entry is your willingness to admit you care what others think. I think these are solid choices, but I just wish there was something... More? I still feel like I barely know what kind of person you are.

Originally posted by collin

OoOoh, I haven't ever heard any of these songs. Obscurity (well, 21P isn't that obscure I guess...) is always a plus because it involves a high level of uniqueness. You managed to effectively separate yourself from the others with this one and now was the time to do that. Nice.

Ok slay the **** outta me with those graphics, woo. Too bad I don't care about graphics.

Originally posted by conatus

See, I relate to "Crying For No Reason" too, but for different reasons, which is why your interpretation was really interesting. "Borderline" also works to represent you in how it portrays you as someone who's not always in control, which people forget is something that is OK. But then there's "Music To Make Boys Cry". While I love Diana, I never would have thought to include this as a song that represented me, but your reasoning was pretty on-point.

Originally posted by collin

This is very nice and I am a huge fan of the graphics. Keep in mind that the most important part is the music... although you don't particularly need that advice

OMG yas, I love how you decided to give your entry a theme of sorts. The song choices are great. Everything just feels so organized.

Originally posted by conatus

The narrative approach you have taken to your entry is great, as is your reasoning for why you picked each song. You haven't taken a clichéd approach to portraying how you overcame obstacles, and you haven't used an empowerment song to make it seem as though who you are now is where you wanted to be.

Originally posted by collin

Cute! Honestly, not getting a wildly heightened sense of diversity throughout this, but I also like the theme and style you went with.

Originally posted by Buddy!

omg cute descriptions! Teen idle is one of my fave Marina songs. I love it so much

Originally posted by conatus

While "Need Ur Luv" doesn't feel as personal as the other two, I think this is a good selection of songs. (And I'm not just being biased with the presence of a Marina song!) "Teen Idle" is great at portraying the feeling of having wasted your youth, and "Don't Need Y'all" is great in how it declares independence and self-reliance.

Originally posted by collin

Hmm. I guess I get a good gauge of your taste but it's not very widespread. I do appreciate the different subject matters - but they're all also a bit down-tempo'd and what not.

yas gaga, I like all three of your song choices and I like your explanations. Love how your were able to overcome all of your obstacles! Trust me, I've been through a lot in life and I know how it feels. It's hard but everything gets better<3

Originally posted by conatus

"Creep" is great at portraying your identity crisis, but with "Somewhere Over The Rainbow", I don't feel it fits the "coming of age" idea you want to put across. To me, "coming of age" also means discovering who you are and a purpose in life (but that may just be me), so to have a song like "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" (which is about dreaming and wondering)... It's mixed messages to me. But I like how you interpreted "So Happy I Could Die" in your own way, because isn't that song about relying on alcohol to be happy?

Originally posted by collin

DAMN! I did not expect the SLAYAGE. The variety here is incredible and you stitched it all together with ease! An impressive feat. Welcome to Holy Trinity, stay awhile!

Originally posted by Buddy!

yass I love it. The songs match your descriptions well! And I love how you threw in your very own song. I really like how you talked about your life. Cute

Originally posted by conatus

What I like most about your entries is the narrative, and your progression as a musician yourself. The fact you used your own song as part of your entry also shows your dedication to your craft, which is admirable!

Originally posted by collin

A pleasure as usual, good to see you back in the game I really love this trinity, you've got a lock on how to do this. One complaint: one country song and two campy-ish electronica songs... not the best look. But hey, hardly interrupts anything at all; I'm just fishing

Originally posted by Tymps.

wtf at you using that FLOP and NOT Hugamari's Theme for the ME Trinity, wish I could eliminate you just for that

JustLuke

Originally posted by Buddy!

You seem very unsure of what you want to do in life, and I feel like you portrayed that well with your song choices.

Originally posted by conatus

It's great that your trinity is so cohesive, but at the same time, I would have liked to see something other than a song about uncertainty of the future, as I fear "Unwritten" and "Road Between" are a biT too similar in their topic.

Originally posted by collin

This is cute! Not the most across-the-board material per se, but it definitely has an element of uniqueness that is needed in this game.

Originally posted by Buddy!

Great song choices and explanations Solid entry x

Originally posted by conatus

That Bat For Lashes song and your reasoning is really sincere and unique, and represents something that few really touched upon (not just being a mother, as we are surrounded by twinks here, but being a parent in general and crafting a life for yourself). While I hate "Ironic", your anecdotal reasoning is really endearing. You had me a little worried when I started to read your "Save Me" reasoning as it seemed to be about someone else, but you recovered. You're really frank and open with your entry.

Originally posted by collin

The way I went through all these entries and not expecting this killer trinity But should I be shocked? Great work and completely on point.

Originally posted by Buddy!

would have loved some descriptions explaining your song choices and why they were your trinity. Cute songs tho, I thought they were good choices

Originally posted by conatus

I feel like these are great choices. "The Suburbs" with its detailing of youth and its portrayal of small-town syndrome, "Dull Life" with its detailing of monotony of the every day life and fear of wasting your potential, and how "Boyfriend" discusses infatuation but fear of inferiority in comparison to a love rival. Great job!

Originally posted by collin

I like this but I can't help but feel that it's a bit one-note alternative. I know you have a diverse taste that spans numerous genres, why not show it off? Regardless, a cute variety and an interesting theme.

Originally posted by Buddy!

cutee sis, love the songs and your explanation for them all

Originally posted by conatus

First of all, great picks! But my problem here is that they all seem to cover the same sort of ground. You talk about how you worry you don't have an identity and find it difficult to form relationships and are yet to truly carve out who you are and what you will achieve, but it feels a biT one-dimensional. It feels like the surface is only just being scratched here.

Originally posted by collin

WoooH! This is wonderful, simple as that. I get such an idea of "you" from this. Glad to see you and your expansive taste in this game, keep it up!

Originally posted by Buddy!

I really like what you did here. I love the songs, and I love how you connected them.

Originally posted by conatus

I would have argued that "Born This Way" was also an obvious choice, but nobody else is picking these songs I consider "obvious choices", so... But, yeah. It seems like an obvious choice to me. I like how you took "Lost Ones" (my favourite Lauryn song, hihi) and translated it into a song that deals with maturity and the value of things. Your explanation for "Ride", however, feels somewhat scattered, as though you are unsure of why it represents you.

Originally posted by collin

In some ways I feel like Lauryn is weirdly placed in there but I also like the trinity you developed here. Very interesting and I definitely get a sense of "you".

Originally posted by Buddy!

These songs are not the tea, however your explanation made me like them a bit more.

Originally posted by conatus

I like how your songs are simple, but you are still able to describe in detail how you relate. My only problem here is that you had "energy" as one of your traits that represented you. It felt like you could have done more with that and took it even further.

Originally posted by collin

Nice, MLD. Try to keep it a bit more concise on the writing, though, girl.

Love your entry. You did a great job connecting the songs to you, which is what I wanted to see

Originally posted by conatus

I will admit, I thought you were a boy. This is a good trinity as it shows aspects of your life and how they shaped you into the person you are today.

Originally posted by collin

Very cute taste - I like that it's different than most of ATRL and that's something that's important to bring to a game like this! You found things that make you stick out and did so in an autobiographical manner. Nice!

Originally posted by Buddy!

Love how you say you know you're different, you say that you have nobody but you end it off with "Shake it off" by saying like F you all.

Originally posted by conatus

First of all, sorry to hear that. Secondly, while these songs do work, they feel like they are only just cracking the surface of who you are.

Originally posted by collin

I can tell these songs are very important to you and I like the different tastes you incorporate here. Welcome!

Originally posted by Buddy!

Once again I love Teen idle, but the other songs i'm not really feeling. And I like your theme for each song.

Originally posted by conatus

Can't help but feel this Marina-picking is an attempt to butter me up. Anyway. There's something endearing about the pessimism of your entry. You aren't trying to make it seem you have your **** together, because you don't. So it feels really representative.

Originally posted by collin

While obvious choices, these really are good at representing your personality. But that's the problem for me: they are obvious choices.

Originally posted by collin

As much as I love all of these songs, I can't help but feel like it's a bit too much of an empowerment fest. Kinda one-note, also all bubbly pop girls...

Superpower

Originally posted by Buddy!

Overall cute entry. Something seems lacking, however.

Originally posted by conatus

I think it's cute that you didn't just go for songs that you felt represented aspects of your personality! A good trinity, as it shows how you're someone who's open-minded, resourceful, strong, and... You like sex? It's an interesting selection.

Originally posted by collin

This is perfect! I love how you showcased your taste here. Throwing in the lesser-known acts is a plus, too - it brings an certain flair. Nice work.

nn The Shania promo. The graphics were kinda hard to read, but I like your explanations and the songs>>>

Originally posted by conatus

I like the anecdotal nature of "When" and "If I Could Turn Back Time". Your take on loss and regret is great as it shows a side to you I haven't really seen. Didn't know you were Japanese either! The problem here is that "Rewrite" also seems to focus on regret. You have regrets, you've experienced loss, you're Japanese... What else? I still feel somewhat unsure of who you are.

Originally posted by collin

Sis - I can NOT read this. But a good trinity can speak on its own and yours did just that, so nice work!

Originally posted by Buddy!

The songs are good, but I don't really care about the explanations. Do you, I guess.

Originally posted by conatus

"Work Bitch" would have been good if you tied it more into you being ambitious (if you are), but to me, your explanation just kind of reads as "I like shopping so I work to get money for shopping". If that's who you are, great, but it doesn't feel truly representative of you. "Everybody Hurts" suffers a problem, too, as you say "... like everyone else.", which doesn't really set you apart. "Human Nature" works, though, even ignoring the fact it's one of my favourite Madonna songs, if not the favourite Madonna song of mine. Lyrically, it's great for representing you as it shows you're someone who sticks by what you say/do and is not afraid to ruffle a feather or two.
