This honestly just feels really cheesy and after-school-special-y. "Beautiful" and "Breakaway" are obvious choices, and "Before He Cheats" feels so ridiculous in the context.

You did not just include my two faves in one trinity.  Aside from that, even though I love Carrie, her choice totally doesn't fit in here - she's basically angry over a break-up. Also, I wish it looked more like a story than this list of tips you have made, but it's a good entry.

The Zara song literally got me woo. Like, I feel the heavy emotion(s) through these songs and descriptions. This is honestly an amazing entry, and I can tell you really worked hard for this. But I will admit I was a bit confused as to what was going on. With the video (which I think was great!) and all those quotes. It was like to much going on.

It's good that you really fleshed out the story and created a whole narrative here, but at the same time, it felt a little too wordy. It could have been more concise but just as effective. The song choices are good but could be better.

Aw, the video was such an experience, thank you for doing it! As for the song choices, they aren't bad, but more cohesiveness could have worked I think. Overall, good job, thanks for watering my eyes, Huga

Hm, Heaven kinda feels off. Like I understand what you're trying to say, but I don't necessarily see how it fits. Otherwise, the songs are good. They clock each of your points.

The songs really work well and I like the personal connection you create between you and the reader/listener, but at the same time, it feels like there's so much more you could have done with it. The songs kind of all blend together? I don't know. Still a good entry, though.

A very good entry, I must say. Yes, maybe the choices were kind of safe, but they all work and make up a great entry. Nicki's song is really emotional, poor her and her teenage struggles

wow every single song is great! This is an amazing trinity! Each song greatly reflects your theme and what you're trying to get across. Omg those tweets tho  I love it.

Now, I really like this because of the layout and the obvious Gossip Girl inspiration to it. My problem? The songs are similar sonically. It was good at showcasing the progression of feelings surrounding a break-up, though.

Your songs go well together (their melodies), and I like the idea with the tweets, but I think your choices feel kinda...plain? It's an interesting approach definitely, but I think you could have done more, maybe with your explanations?

This is ok. Would have liked to have known what your theme was, like placing it in your entry but that's just for my own convenience (i'm lazy!!) But overall this is a good entry. However I feel like this dosen't stick out of the pack. Very bland in comparison to some of the others.

I like how you did this whole summer theme, all to include "Summertime Sadness", but I don't know, I think that in your story that relationship should have started, considering both "Secret" and the song mentioned above are including singers who are in relationships, judging by the lyrics, I think.

Eh, not really feeling it this time. Each song isn't great, and the way you went about this was...odd. I'm not even sure what the exact word for this is (insert shade here). The entire breakdown of this gsave me a Gaga tea though. ICU.

I mean, it works, I guess. The problem? I swear last week I said I wanted to see a more diverse entry from you. So what is this?

I like your entry, considering it was maybe a harder theme than the other ones, but I wish somehow you didn't include only hip-hop artists, we all know that's a subject they are writing about a lot of times.

asjhabs my poor emotions, ugh. This is so sad and so, so true; for my own personal experiences anyway. Everything really meshes well, and I honestly got a bit choked up. The songs were on point, and even though I hate reading, the prologue was amazing. Well done.

"A Moment Like This" feels far too cheesy and that version of "Somewhere Over The Rainbow" has become a tad cliché, but there's nothing outstandingly bad here. The progression is really good, and none of the sentences feel superfluous.

awww Theus has a little crush  This is cute! Screaming at the title though. Luke always loses. Anyway, I do think the way you went about this is iffy to me. The songs are ok, and overall everything else was just fine. But I can't hate on your personal experience!

I really liked your trinity this time. The whole thing that I think is a mess are the explanations. How come you jump straight from confessing your love to that sort of demanding part on the second song and then again it is that love or desire. But anyway, I kind of get what you meant so it is good overall.

This feels so immature to me. Katy seemingly fits in well for once. Like, I never thought a mid-life crisis was supposed to be light-hearted? Idk, maybe that's just my opinion. I do like the Marina touch though.

Some of these rhymes were awful but the whole entry has this sort of Dr. Seuss feel to it which is really endearing. In terms of the songs, I like "Who Am I Living For?" and "Forget", but they feel too sonically similar. That is probably the one thing holding the entry back.

Ok, I love your approach with the little poems, but your entry seems a bit basic with the choices. They work together however, which is good, but I still wish for riskier choices from you. Great entry, though.

 I would say I was hoping for better comments, but I do realize this was a much closer competition than earlier rounds.
Wonder how this will turn out

Feeling like the prey
But I want to be hunted
You can have your way
I just want to be wanted

I don't need your acceptance
Don't need you in my presence
I don't need you to judge me
I don't need you to love me
I don't need your approval
I don't need you at all
I act on my own accord
And I don't need you anymore
