"The beat of this song flows so well with sounds of rain hitting the window." threw me off. I felt kind of taken out of your entry with an explanation as to why you chose the song. Otherwise, the moody atmosphere of your song and the simplicity, as simple as the idea of rain hitting a window, went well together.
Girlicious - You explained your first choice very well, and I suppose I could see the similarities in what you proposed in your second one, but I think the last one might be reaching a bit. Props for trying, but I don't think I really agree. Side note, though: i'm kinda sad you didn't have as adventurous of choices as last time.
Xedretinz Lododnz - I liked how you presented your trinity as a narrative of someone exploring a dark alley, but I don't know what to feel about the titles of the songs being tagged on to the end. Given I did the same thing in Season 1, but regardless it seemed a bit forced to me. If that's your aesthetic then by all means keep it, but sometimes it's a bit too clunky.
Clueless - Even though I think the little banner you made is cute af, it didn't seem fitting for "A peaceful garden". The formatting isn't important to how you end up doing, but it's something I figured I'd mention. Besides the formatting, though, I don't think you did much to make yourself stand out. (I did, however, notice the iTunes link and I bought it twice. You're welcome!)
Pecinta Mariah - You really stuck with the snow theme. ![eek](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/eek.gif) You had consistent choices and that's what I appreciated most about your entry.
Kxvk - Again, you had really interesting, bold choices to go with your entry. The way you presented it wasn't the most clever, but I think choosing instrumentals was an effective way to build imagery, as you don't have to deal with lyrics conflicting with the imagery set out by the sound of the song. I kinda wish you stuck with the instrumental idea, but oh well!
Chill Bill - You have such a knack for choosing songs that were almost built just for you to use them in your trinity entries. You also got more creative with it this time, which is great! No complaints here, just keep it up and you'll be dandy.
theycallmemaraj - I loved your description of the last song. ![smitten](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ebf69f50.gif) Anyway, even though you do have a way of effectively communicating your reasoning, I just wish that it was more...cohesive. Your entry seemed very sporadic and tied very loosely by the idea of comparing them to rain. I'm not sure if I'm 100% sold, but I'm more sold than I would've been had you said nothing at all.
Mirrorwriting - I debated to myself for a while as to how I should take this entry. It was aesthetically pleasing at first glance, but I wasn't sure what to take of the writing. Then I actually took a closer look and realized you wrote it. :eyes: :nose: :lips: Along with your entry being stunning aesthetically, it's beautifully simplistic and creative. I also figured those were lyrics to the songs you linked before actually taking a look at them, but I should've known better from the winner of PH7. I know who to watch for in PH9!
DripDrip - Wow this dark and gritty retelling of something innocent. Someone paid close attention to Welcome to Fanfiction.net ![eek](http://www.atrl.net/forums/images/smilies/images/smilies/eek.gif) But I actually kind of liked how you took the basis of walking down a dark alley and turning into something more, rather than making the alley the biggest point in your trinity. It was a creative way to tackle the challenge!
A Bomb - I really can't say much about this except slay the **** out of me (and whoever "Emily" is, the poor bitch.) Brilliant effort.
Fidel - Aw you kept the letter thing. ![heart2](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/a3fdf692.gif) I also think you represented the ide of a busy city fairly well with your choices, so nothing is really bad about your entry. Solid.
Bloomers - Wait YAS @ you using Dandelion. that was my favorite from Kacey's first album. Beautiful song. ![weeps](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/52b0f867.gif) I also loved your way with words in this entry. you painted a detail picture for us with great song choices perfect for the idea you had for the challenge. Great job!
Dessy Fenix - I liked the idea, but not so much the execution. A story-book theme would've been SO cute! This makes me hopeful that you'll come out of nowhere and blow me away soon, though.
Speezy - I can't really say I disagree with your song choices, or that your entry was bad, but it was a bit underwhelming to me and I wish that you would've done something more with the idea of being at the beach. Personally, I think that the beach prompt was the hardest one, so there's not much I can fault you on.
Kyle. - YAS. I love the approach you took with this. It has a nice dose of humor and I liked how you took the idea of the beach as the basis of a story and not the center focus. Definitely more creative than last week, too. ![clap3](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/67d90ee8.gif) Great entry!
jpow - Well the songs were definitely fitting, but I think the approach was a bit too direct. I agree that the songs are very "rainy", if you want to call it that, but I guess I was looking to actually feel set inside of a rainy day, if you get what I mean?

DevonDreams - you didn't have a lot of text, but that really isn't problem. When you can tell your story as short as possible, it's good, and I think it has a certain charm the way you did it. I like this trinity, but it isn't really memorable and idk if these were the best song choices (not bad, but not amazing either)
Girlicious - I really liked the theme of achievement and interaction in your first two songs, and even tho TNISY isn't a bad song, I just wished you went on with it. You made a good trinity and Song 1 and 2 fit well together, TNISY seemed a bit simple. You could also made a morning-day-evening trinity because TNISY would be a perfect fit and Time To Pretend would be good for morning or day. You didn't do bad this round, imo you improved from last round, but there are still some flaws here and there.
Xedretinz Lododnz - I kind of feel a dark alley is just a detail in your story, because this trinity doesn't make me feel like I'm in a dark alley or that the trinity is about it. Musically your songs fit well together and I did like that you thought out of the box and created a story for this. I just wished I would've got more of a dark alley feeling
Clueless - idk if it's just me, but song 2 and 3 (the links) didn't work. Maybe it's because I'm not from the US but I didn't get a message saying it was blocked in my country so... on to your trinity.
I searched them and Janelle Monae is so damn good. I wish you would've connected your first song with the other two, but overall your song choices were really good and I can envision everything. I also liked how this was simple but yet so good. Sometimes less is more.
Pecinta Mariah - When hearing your first song it really felt like a snowy winter to me. I really liked the description of your first song, it made me happy because I really envisioned all of it ![skull](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/faces/skull_zpsksni5fmm.gif)
I felt like song 2 and 3 were choices that fit well with what you wanted to execute, but it's a damn simple choice. Snow Queen and a Christmas song is a bit simple, a bit too simple. I did like that you chose to do the trinity this round with ''who, where and when''.
Kvxk - really not a fan of the first choice. I get your description, and I like how you described everything but I can't really connect it with a dark alley tbh.
The second song is amazing, it's really hollow and raw, and also a bit dark and mysterious. I really get the chills when listening to this and this brings me back to the dark alley.
The last song is also amazing and it fits really well with your 2nd song (musically). I really liked the description and I think it's one of the strongest songs sent out so far. It kind of sucks that I'm not in love with your first song, because the other songs really bring me into the mood.
Chill Bill - I loved reading your descriptions. They were fun and elaborate. The only problem I had that I had that it wasn't really a busy city for me. Especially the last song made me feel like I was in a chill and sunny town, but not a busy city. Asides from that, I thought your description more than made up for it and your songs did fit well together. I also love that you introduced its characters and I thought that was really strong. Honestly, the one flaw I found, was a minor one for me.
Theycallmemaraj - I would've liked to see a title for your trinity, something like ''Rainy Day'' would've been more than enough, or a picture of rain was fine. That's mainly because when seeing your songs I didn't instantly think of a rainy day.
I really liked your reasoning behind Cry Me Out, maybe it was a bit far fetched, but I kinda liked it and I thought it fit well the theme. As for See Me Now, this was too far-fetched. I really didn't think it well with the theme. Your third song was a pretty good choice. I don't that you captured the grey and dull,like you said in your reasoning, with this song. I thought it fit well with a rainy day for the more positive sides of rain.
Mirrorwriting - this is simple, yet so effective. Your song choices were really good and I liked how they weren't really busy/crowded, but really sounded peaceful and quiet. I also loved reading your poems, a very strong and simple way to do this. Also love how this is nothing like your previous entry, showing other sides already is great so early on.
DripDrip - I was lowkey scared we would be getting new issues like your previous entry, for the rest of this competition (not that that was a bad entry tho). But I liked how this was different, but still fitted with your style. You did a great job of connecting drugs with a dark alley, something that really fits with the theme. Really good that you thought out of the box, and you pulled it off. I'm not going to rank you higher for this but yes at you including ICON ![weeps](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/52b0f867.gif)
A Bomb - I am really fascinated by your choice for Mr. Sandman. It fits so well and really gives me the chills. Great choice. Your entry was an amazing read overall. I liked how you chose to go down the 'scary' path with this entry and you really pulled it off. I liked how you really got the farm theme back in your first song and each song got more and more mysterious and dark.
Fidel - You described the most important things of a busy city, especially isolation is a smart thing to include. This again is simple, and not one of the best, but it certainly fit right with the challenge. I do hope you can give us a bit more next round, I know you have the creativity to pull something more off. See this as a challenge, not as a warning tho.
Bloomers - I loved reading your entry, it had good song choices and I loved how you had a story in it. This felt very cohesive. I do hope next time you maybe search for a bit more uniqueness or thinking out of the box. But just like Fidel, this is a challenge, not a warning. Good job overall.
Dessy Fenix - I really don't like a song called Winter beginning your entry. I mean it fits well with the theme, but it's a bit TOO easy if you ask me. I thought your 2nd and 3rd song were good and should've gotten a different introduction. Loved the story too.
Speezy - Your reasoning for this is so much better than your previous entry. You redeemed me with an entry that is definitely not bad. I liked how you used searching for love as another theme for this trinity and it made it look cohesive.
Kyle. - Fetch ha impact lives on . I really liked this entry, even tho it was a bit cheesy . But this was really a fun and cute entry. I didn't like your choice for Do It Again. It fit somehow with the story you had, but it doesn't really fit with feeling sad. So I thought that song was rather weak, the other songs were good.
jpow - just like I said before, I don't like how you have a trinity about a rainy day and then choosing a song with Rain in its title . HOWEVER, I thought this was somehow a clever choice, you chose not to do the sad and dull part of rain which we all know, but you decided to highlight a different side from it. I really get a fresh start feelings of Shake It Off, so that was a great choice.

DevonDreams - I really enjoyed the vibe of your entry. I felt like I was in some tiny poetry cafe, it helps I'm sipping some herbal tea while reading these. Sometimes you don't need three paragraphs to get your point across, so overall you did fine.
Girlicious - Your songs last round were so odd and I didn't really enjoy them tbh ![skull](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/faces/skull_zpsksni5fmm.gif) but I love your songs this time ![flower](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/b49700a3.gif) Time to Pretend goes perfect with your theme and it is one of my faves. I agree about the serious/depressing undertones of TNISY too
Xedretinz Lododnz - Your entry is very somber but hopeful, I felt your song choices were great and really went well with your theme and story you created, your entry didn't really stand out to me, but I do think you did a good job.
Clueless - I really like your song choices, especially Fiona and Janelle songs, but I didn't get a really peaceful garden vibe from Electric Love ![JonnyϟLightning](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/jonny_zpsc73391c5.png) Look Into My Eyes was my favorite part, it made me envision a garden in like Alice in Wonderland ![rip](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/rip_zpsec10ede9.gif) Mess @ the link to ARTPOP gurl
Pecinta Mariah - I feel you did a much better job this round, all three of your songs fit your theme perfectly. I love that you used a Bjork instrumental, and the use of a Mariah holiday song was cute too
Kxvk - I feel like Death was the weaker of the two instrumentals you chose, but I did like it, I didn't really get 'dark alley' from it. I felt Castalia was much more representative of your theme and vibe you were going for and it went really well with the Tori Amos song, which was kind of haunting and depressing, so I guess it was a perfect choice for a dark alley.
Chill Bill - I really enjoyed your entry again, it was creative and cute and your songs choices fit the characters you created. Also, I had no idea Ziggy Marley sang the Arthur theme song ![JonnyϟLightning](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/jonny_zpsc73391c5.png) what a cute song choice though.
theycallmemaraj - Your entry didn't really scream 'rainy day' to me but your explanations helped me see where you're coming from. The Pixie song felt the most appropriate and the Disclosure song was an inspired choice. The Kanye song I didn't really get at all though ![JonnyϟLightning](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/jonny_zpsc73391c5.png) I read your thought process about it, but I just don't think it fits a rainy day theme very much, for me anyway
Mirrorwriting - Your entry was simple but effective, the song choices were amazing and I love the garden you created in my mind as I read and listened to your entry.
DripDrip - I love a good story, especially if it fits the theme and you came through again with a perfect combo of cute graphics, interesting story, and song/theme correlation. Also, I liked how the story has a dark ending.
A Bomb - I felt your entry was almost perfect ![rip](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRLSmilies/rip_zpsec10ede9.gif) Great song choices, perfect representation of your theme, and such a detailed & creative storyline. I wouldn't change a thing tbh.
Fidel - Another solid effort from you, what your entry lacks in creative pizzazz, you make up for it with solid song choices and very reasonable explanations. I like how straight forward you are, you get your point across well.
Bloomers - Your entry flows well, the songs really go with the story you created. It's not the most exciting entry but it is still a good effort and well thought out, maybe next round throw some glitter on it or something
Dessy Fenix - I've enjoyed the instrumentals so far this round and yours is no different, it really fit your theme well. The inclusion of The Wiz was the best part about your entry for me, your story was kind of simple and it seems like you could have come up with a more wintery song than Scared of Lonely, it just didn't feel like it fit in with your other two choices
Speezy - Overall you did a much better job this round than last round, thankfully ![skull](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/faces/skull_zpsksni5fmm.gif) I do feel you could have picked much more Summery songs though, the Jordin song was cute though, I got the most summer vibe from it.
Kyle. - Like omg I like really loved your entry. I love fun and I love pink and you really delivered for me. I feel you really embodied Brittany so well, have you been her before gurl? ![eli's_rhythm](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/eli_zps0932edf9.gif) I felt like if I played Barbie Girl while reading your entry it would have been even more perfect.
jpow - Yas gurl I loved your cleansing take on rain, I love rain myself so I felt like I could really relate. I loved your song choices, they went so well with your entry, and were some of my faves this round
-
Overall I feel like everyone stepped up their game and that made it so difficult to rank these entries, I feel like a few of y'all are ranked too low but I can't have ties so ![JonnyϟLightning](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/jonny_zpsc73391c5.png) I'm sorry

I figured out the top 3 of hints.
#1 A Bomb (lyrics after the red rockets glare refer to "bombs")
#2 Kyle. (lyrics are from "Ew!" by Jimmy Fallon which fits the concept)
#3 Drip Drip (the pic is a girl Kaija and she has a song "Drip Drip")
let me try the bottom 3 for fun

I kind of feel redundant sometimes while judging, having to repeat words like 'entry' 'explanation' 'reasonings' 'theme' 'song choices' ![JonnyϟLightning](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v232/korn0818/ATRL_Smilies_All/atrlers/jonny_zpsc73391c5.png)
