Interesting. I like how you brought things around to ATRL and asked them to choose a song that described their year. While it's simple and effective, I feel like given the option to explain why would have been nice. Some wouldn't need explanation, i.e. Someone posted Rocket. It'd be nice to get the ball rolling on why if it's not already self explanatory. Maybe that's just me though.

I quite like the idea of the thread, it allows a little room for creativity. However I'm just not sure it has hit thread potential, you had the NYE hype to capitalize off though. Whilst browsing the forum I commented in one or two threads, and yours was one of them. This means you caught my attention and sparked my interest enough for me to comment in, so congrats on that! The banner in the OP was cute, you could have maybe spruced up the text a bit. But overall it's a nice entry.

You did struggle hard to find a good thread tho, spamming the Lounge section with many threads that would have gotten you to the bottom of my rankings. Too bad that the PYP 2.0 got closed, that was my favorite one of the challenge.

It's not the sort of thread which has longevity, it's the sort of thing you'll see in the lounge if you're bored and post in, then never see again. I commend you for the effort/thought behind the thread however.

It could easily get flamebait with the answers and questions, but that could easily be fixed by not giving flamebait-ish questions that would lead to flamebait answers.

Throughout my 3 years on ATRL I notice these kinds of threads pop up a lot. They usually get posted in for the first few questions then the OP loses interest or everyone else gets bored of the questions. I also found the questions you used "superpower, winning the lottery" etc to be a bit stale and generic. It didn't interest me enough to want to post in. But props for the effort and attempting a nice OP.

The pming of people, posting in the thread, deadlines, **** I'm already just thinking about not updating after a certain while. If you're able to keep this going and updated it'd be interesting to keep going, but knowing history it might not last too long.

I don't recall having ever seen similar threads. You put a lot of effort into it, because now you'll have to keep it going and updated for a long time.
All of that made it the biggest thread of the challenge. Slé.

This is the second thread I posted in this round. As I said in the thread, I thought the idea was really cute. The thread idea is very original and unique. A lot of ATRL'ers seemed to agree with me and enjoy the thread, hence the large number of replies. The only thing that worries me is whether you'll be able to keep up with the thread, something like this takes a lot of commitment and most users will be reluctant to join in if the OP seems flaky. Having said that, you seem to be doing a good job so far. I thought this was a great entry.

As always, your OP is flawless. Those design skills are on point hunny. However your thread is very restrictive (hence the low number of replies). You're only appealing to Barbz / listeners of Nicki, whereas everyone else's threads appealed to everyone on the forum. The whole "make your own tracklist" thing isn't a unique idea, but it's one I enjoy to participate in. However at this stage in the game, I don't think it's up to scratch.

I don’t think this thread is very creative because it’s been done for every album and I even saw one for the Pinkprint before. It’s okay to create threads for a specific fanbase, and that is not the issue here. Maybe it’s just me but I would be too lazy to create a new tracklist.  |

Wow, just the other day I was having a discussion about the many similarities and differences between a career in the film and music industry. Great topic, though, really. There’s a lot of film fans here that don’t get to express or discuss their interest in it outside of SYG so this was a good segue to do so. Great responses you did get but lacked many. Probably because it required thought.  |

Hmm. I'm going to start off by stating that you're sticking with your niche/brand of having the element of cinema. I applaud you for doing that. About the thread, I find it interesting, but I also find it a short fuse. It'll spark some little discussion like it did, but then just fizzle out as quickly. It is already kind of known that film influences music videos, so the thread is just about posting cinematic like videos. I found the discussion that was happening about does music influence film quite interesting. Maybe a thread comparing the two subjects would have been better.

I applaud your effort of trying to spark up a conversation here on ATRL, sadly it seems not many people were here for it. I think this is more of a specialized area, and you may be restricting your audience here. Having said that, it is something that does interest me, however I just didn't have the time to type up an educated reply. This thread is more for the die-hard ATRL'er who spends time on their comments, not the casual posters.

Les ATRLers - Season 02 ∙ Episode 9: Elimination
Episode 9: Elimination
darkhorse - You have been at the bottom last week, too. What happened? You were getting so much better but now it's like you can't reach for more. Is this all you have in you?
Melvin - Although you're usually in the top three in your rankings this week you disappointed. BIG TIME. It just wasn't creative enough and you can clearly see that ATRL wasn't having it.
One of you has a higher overall score and one of you has a higher ranking average.
But how did the judges rank you this week?
....
One more name...
The last name...
I'm going to call is..
5. DARKHORSE
It was close but not too close. Your thread was by far more creative than Melvin's and you deserve to stay.
You have weeks were you really exceed your potential and then the next week you let us down.
Just work on consistency and you'll go far. 
Congratulations, you advance to the next round.
+39,5 points were added to your stats.
_________
Unfortunately, that means we have to say goodbye to Melvin.
Not you as well. NOT YOU AS WELL.
I can't take this. Seriously. 
Now in the last few rounds every little mistake can send you home, Melvin.
And unfortunately your thread was not up to par. You should have known better.
This breaks my heart. But I cannot add points to your stats.
You are, however, a part of the jury now.
The jury consists of eliminated contestants which will help deciding the winner.

What about the EP? Do I have to make up songs, or use 5 songs from e.g. Katy Perry, or songs from different artists?

No you have to use actual songs of course.
They do not all have to belong to a certain artist. Can be different ones.
