Hate to do this, but comments will hopefully be posted later this evening. Probably around the usual update time of 9 pm is central time.
A lot of the judges, me included, have been extremely busy this weekend.

These entries are pretty good! There were a few that I really liked. Looking forward to seeing what the judges thought hihi. 
By the way, I saw Zara all around the forum this past week. Slay that promo.

The lashings you gave have almost got me rethinking my scores a bit...

Two judges have yet to send in. And they're in different time zones, so I wouldn't stay up if I was y'all.

Is the last one Cupid? I thought he said he was on vacation until Tuesday and wouldn't be able to do this round?

Oh, maybe we're just missing one, then. Cupid's posts are hidden by my adblock.

I was legit freaking out because I didn't get back up comments from Supa and our guest judge, but I see them in our google spreadsheet #bless 
Sorry I'M late though ya'll. My coworker called me earlier this evening and when we get to talking we talk for hours. I recently now just got off the phone with her. I'm going to post their comments and then I'll add mine later this evening.

You know it use to be mad love.
So take a look at what you've done.
Cause baby now we got Bad Blood.

ATRL's Next Top Member Cycle 13 | EP6: Judges Comments!
EPISODE 6: NEW ARTIST PROMO
GUEST JUDGE COMMENTS
MARQ says...
Quote:
Superpower & Era
Superpower, your entry hit all of the marks for me. It was very thoroughly written and I appreciated that you properly introduced me to Zara with relevant information about her music and career. Your method of promotion was very effective; I've seen Zara on the forum a lot this week with all of the avatars and gifs. Overall, this was a fantastic effort.
Era, let me just say that I have been a huge fan of your visual presentations throughout the cycle. Your graphics are always gorgeous and very well done, and this week is no exception. Aside from that, the content itself is unique and of high quality. I have no complaints here.
Your entries brought me to finally check this girl's music out after seeing her around the forum so much. I can definitely see the appeal, and I will be keeping my eye on her endeavors from now on!
A Bomb & Sam
A Bomb, your presentation is adorable, and I saw it as very fitting to Liz's overall aesthetic and sound (then again, I've only heard one song of hers, but I'm pretty sure I'm correct here). Your content, however, is lacking. I think you could have easily spent a little more time and effort into convincing the reader that Liz is worth checking out. Not a bad entry, but not very impressive either.
Sam, I feel similarly about your entry as I did to A Bomb's. The visuals are very appealing and immediately caught my eye, but overall the content is just "satisfactory" and not much more. I like that you put effort into promoting Liz around the forum. It gave you the edge over A Bomb for me.
Lovesong & Buddy!
Lovesong, I appreciate that you took a unique approach to the challenge by focusing on promoting your artist in a natural and subtle way. You didn't want to shove your artist down users' throats, and your posts were tasteful and made in a way that fit your overall branding. I do have issues with this entry though; you didn't introduce your artist to the reader or convince them to take notice to their music in any way whatsoever. If your entry had this, it would have been one of my favorites as you already had the forum promotion side of the challenge nailed.
Buddy, it seems like you too opted for a more subtle promotion method, which is cool with me even though it didn't seem to make much of an impact in the way that the other contestants' methods did. I'm overall "satisfied" with this entry but not too impressed. I feel that you could have done more in all aspects of the challenge.
Subomie & JakeKills
First of all, what an interesting choice you two made for this challenge! Country is definitely one of the least popular genres on ATRL, so you gave yourself a bit of a challenge which I appreciate.
Subomie, I enjoyed your entry overall. It was well written, neatly presented, convincing, and it was written in a genuine way that stayed very close to your forum personality. You did a fine job in my opinion, although I wish that you had promoted around the forum more than in just two instances.
JakeKills, I was very impressed with your write-up! Your writing was articulate and it was extremely convincing; it genuinely had me interested in checking out Brandy Clark's music despite my general dislike for country music. However, you missed a critical - arguably the most important - part of this challenge: actually promoting your artist around the forum. I seriously wish you had incorporated a few posts and threads promoting Brandy. I would have easily seen you as one of the top three entries this week.

Stay tuned for what Citrus, Supa, and Umich have said...
Fierce and Love

We are nosy. Why is she calling you this late? Should we tell Katie?
Post your conversation with her instead.
Edit: Thank you Marq
