Ugh, thank god I'm not judging again because I dragged heartlessly

It was wise of you to put emphasis on the number and repeat it rather than have it just randomly appear in the song; it makes you look lie you know what you're doing. My main problem with this is the same problem I was having with Midnight before he was eliminated; this just feels like another song from you. All you write about is relationships (and not very complex ones), you use similar language every time and it's just become repetitive. You haven't really had a standout entry but rather a lot of safe, okay entries. I don't really have anything different to tell you this week than I've said to you every other week.
What kind of cruelty and verbal abuse?
Maybe the winner of this season should host. I feel like we're running out of willing people, lol/
It's a bittersweet feeling as I leave the competition this round. I knew my songs were not up to par this round. I had trouble finding the inspiration but I wanted to go out like a champion and not a sore loser, so that I am proud of. We started this game with a lot of awesome people so I am proud to know I was in a game with so many talented, passionate songwriters like myself. I made it to the top 4. That's an achievement in it's own right. I am proud that I made it even this far with the tangled web of mess that is my life at the moment. This was my first time ever being judged on my writing and my eyes have been open to my strengths and my weaknesses. A special thanks goes to GotSkill for being a friend and listening to my constant whining and complaining you're the best!
Nait: Thanks for being a great host and judge! I felt your comments we're most unbiased and genuine. I love how you broke down what was good and what was bad about each of my songs. You really influenced me to be better and challenge my inner warrior. And our meltdowns are so hilarious to look at now :laughs: So thanks to you
Jack!: You are so ****ing tough to please! But you kept me on my toes and I took every piece of advice you gave to better me. So thanks
Hug(amari):You have not been a big fan of mine from the very beginning and your comments make me laugh a lot. So thanks for your feedback. TBH, I needed that!
To my fellow contestants: from pot stickers to bulldogs, magic carpet rides to last goodbyes I've enjoyed all of you. You guys have kept me on my toes and my eyes open this whole competition. You guys are so talented and awesome and I'm proud to share this experience with you. These past (god knows how many) weeks have been extremely tough but I made it through thanks to all of you.
I know I wasn't the easiest likeable but know I appreciate you.
Now before my baby ass starts tearing up I should end this essay.
Thanks so much for everything. Good luck in this last round. I hope you guys go on to write hit songs and become Grammy award winners. Keep in touch!
And remember, MAKE YOUR SONG SING...
Sincerly,
Scorpio King
I'm gonna marry the night. I won't give up on my life
I'm a SCORPIO KING. Live passionately tonight
I'm gonna marry the dark. Gonna make love to the stark
I'm a soldier to my own emptiness, I AM A WINNER!
I'm gonna marry the night.
Wow… this is really it… I knew it was coming, but it's just so hard to see it actually here… the finale.
Well, before we get to the challenge, I'd like to thank each and every one of the contestants, here and gone, for making this one of the best Platinum Hits we've ever had… I don't wanna say it was any of my doing, because it was you guys who kept pushing me and kept me on my toes every damn day! So, I'd really like to personally thank each and every one of you from the bottom of my heart.
Ever since this game was created, I've sorted dreamed of being a part of the contestant cast, judging, and hosting this game and look: I got to do all three. So, it's going to be hard letting it go. This game is too good to pass up, and it's the sort of therapy many of us writers on ATRL need. So, I hope the next host sees that opportunity… Anyways, enough sappy, let's get to the happy!
*In my best Britney impersonation voice* This is the last challenge, y'all!? *end voice 'cause it sounds stupid when I do it*
So, what's the last challenge you wonder? Write a self-reflecting ballad? Write a complicated verse on the stasis of our government and world? Write three songs for each of the judges specifically tagged to their needs and wants!?
Or D. none of the above… actually, somewhat of A. You'll be writing about your outlook on yourself in this competition, but not in song form. I want you to tell us in 2-5 paragraphs how you felt coming into this competition, how you felt you've grown, and why you deserve to win. This is THE staple of Platinum Hit: this is the best way to see if you've grown or not…
But, that's not all. I hope you've been saving the songs you've sent, because I also want you to send in the song YOU personally believe is your best and tell us why.If you don't have it, just make sure you remember which one it was because I definitely still have it saved… This showcases your ability to understand your best and what you've given to the competition as a whole.
Nothing left to say, but… make your song sing and I'll see you all on the other side…

This has been real, y'all. A great season. I'll miss everyone. I decided to not request my ban today since I won't have internet for three weeks anyhow and then I can comment in the thread when I'm back.
Good luck to Jack and Enrico! You two really deserve this. Also don't make your things crazy long because I didn't.
