I wasn't making fun of him. I was just curious because I thought he was on -5 for the world clock but now I'm thinking I'm wrong.

I used to have almost every active member memorized. This is what happens when I check out for months.

[YSL]

I'm on -5 as well, but he said in a few hours, which makes me think he'll be posting the judges' comments around 5-6am.

I don't know why I thought it was funny though because I'm on at that time sometimes.

No You were correct about guessing my time zone, it's nearly 2AM here. I'll sleep when I'm DEAD, Katie.

[KitKat]

It's two minutes to midnight here and I'm rubbing my eyes like a toddler missing nap time. I'm only awake because I had to work late, so had dinner late, and so on.

I'm gonna be cranky as hell tomorrow.

Katie, go buy some Britney albums and get in your happy zone. The Queen will sooth you.

The first thing I do when I get up tomorrow is head to Target and buy Ciara and Skylar Grey's new albums update

OMG, you too!? Target has my bonus tracks...

[Ozzy8923]

Target?

I usually frequent Wal Mart or Best Buy cuz they have a discount bin with tons of albums in them.

This entry is just lacking. They don't cover a broad landscape of 'sad', I don't think. I do like the songs, though.

Originally posted by Katie

Never choose a white font unless it's outlined. Just, never do it. Aside from that, I wish you changed the layout a little. It was amazing last time, but I don't know how I feel about copy and paste.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I liked it, but overall it felt kind of splatters across the board, and I didn't get any direct rhythm with any of it, it kind of just jumped from place to place. It wasn't bad, I enjoyed the songs, but I felt like you needed to explain them more to connect them better instead of just writing something down.

A masterpiece trinity. Not only are they very different songs, they cover very different aspects of sadness. Great as always, Jad! PS: the write-ups are a bit too long - keep it short(er) and sweet(er)

Originally posted by Katie

I like the introductions to each song. It makes it feel like more of a story. Aside from that, like a few others, you just kind of were there. Nothing really WOW about it. Good choices, good explanations, good entry.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I LOVE 4AM In The Morning (and all of The MF Life, great album tbh, everyone should get into it)
Another good entry with tying the whole central theme together with a narrative type explanation, very well done. Each song being vastly different at the core, but being tied together very well. Nicely done Jad!

Prayer

Originally posted by Collin

I love the diversity, yet all three of these songs connect an flow on a good level. It's a good representation of sadness, even though all 3 are love-related. Nice trinity!

Originally posted by Katie

Now this is what I'm talking about! Great choices and great reasoning. Great!

Originally posted by DripDrip

I like the songs you chose, but I feel like you could do something else besides explain the song to me, I know what Scared Of Lonely is already, but why does it make YOU sad? Why did you choose this song? You had really good choices, but your execution was a little bit off.

Hugamari

Originally posted by Collin

Just wow. Your creativity is stunning, I'm loving this. You're definitely the acclaimed entry of the bunch. The songs themselves cover a broad spectrum of categories, but I'm not too sure if they're the strongest set.

Originally posted by Katie

I never know what to say about you. This is the most creative thing I've seen in all the games section.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I like how you work your entries into a narrative and different piece of writing, instead of explaining you give another outlook, its very artistic of you actually. Again you know very well how to work a package even when the other songs a very different. Farewell was a GREAT way to end it as well. I really don't know what else to say, you blew me away again.

Addicted

Originally posted by Collin

I'm loving the diversity you provided. All 3 are known for their sad vibes as well, which only enhances the beauty of it. Solid trinity, and the visuals are ace! Good to see an improvement from you, keep it up!

Originally posted by Katie

You've got an eye for formatting and visual layouts. Yours was creative and cohesive. Great job.

Originally posted by DripDrip

You have tear ducts, Dick? I never knew

I'm not gonna dock you on Hurt though, its a very good choice for the entry, and if not one of the best choices. I enjoyed the consistency of your entry overall, even if you touched upon different subjects the tones of all the songs fit very well with one another. Good job.

I agree that the ToY performance was a risk, one worth taking. This trinity covers many forms of sadness - not very diverse, but still great choices. A great improvement, miss.

Originally posted by Katie

GREAT choices. A perfect trinity if you ask me. I wish there was a little more "you" in there, but maybe you're not comfortable with sharing that.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I wanna say, very safe. That's what I got from it, I enjoyed the songs you chose, and its a HUGE improvment from last week, but I want to be surprised from you and just SHOCKED. I think you're really getting a hang of how to put the pieces together, and you really did a good job of it, but I want to feel more from you.

YSL

Originally posted by Collin

This trinity is a good standard - it manages to cover such a wide variety of sadness, I like that. Falls a little bit short of your other work, but I have no doubt you'll bounce back.

Originally posted by Katie

You had some unconventional choices which was really refreshing. Your explanations were pretty good but I wish you had talked about yourself a little more.

Originally posted by DripDrip

Another impressive entry, each song again flowing into the other like smooth butter on a french toast kind of morning, I could almost taste the lyrics melting into one another. I really enjoy the consistency of your entries is what I'm trying to say

borntodie

Originally posted by Collin

I really loved the different moods you included, honestly. I think that they do work together well but something is missing from this - it might be a lack of diversity, not sure. Seemingly, a tiny, tiny slip-up for you this round in my perspective, Anna, but some people would still be happy to be at your spot, so keep it up!

Originally posted by Katie

You should just switch to judging these games, to be honest. There's nothing bad to say about your entry at all.

Originally posted by DripDrip

You know its ironic how I'm judging you on sad songs and you're judging me on sad songs in survivor . At first I had a hard time connecting to your first song, but as it got further into the song, I started to feel it more and more. Again, like last time you're doing a really good job of flowing each song into one another, and you again give great unique and interesting songs. Another great entry

Originally posted by Collin

I like this one. Quite diverse, well-rounded and simple. Though it's still slightly lacking of an extra boost. An improvement, nonetheless

Originally posted by Katie

Try to steer away from those bubble gum colored fonts. You don't want people to think you're a flop like MiMiLamb. I like how you told a nice story with your songs. It's like the songs just reinforced the story.

Originally posted by DripDrip

Apologies though omg, the tone in her voice, the lyrics, and melodies. Great wait the start the entry. I loved the way you intertwined it and its nice to see how you were taking notes on how you should form your trinity into the package. Every song flowed into each like water. Very good job!

Originally posted by Collin

These songs are beautiful. Monotonous, but beautiful. Something about this entry doesn't "pop" as much. It seems like your entries have some recurring ingredients which is both good and bad. Mix it up!

Originally posted by Katie

Sally's Pigeons is such an amazing song. I didn't know ATRLers knew it! Your trinity had a clear theme.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I liked your theme of danger and disastrous ,and I really enjoyed the back stories of all these songs put together, it made for a very great entry to go through. Very good job.

Ozzy8923

Originally posted by Collin

You had three categories, but strangely enough, the loneliness and heartbreak ones didn't really have a line drawn between them. Decent picks, sort of random, though... unique, still. Decent trinity.

Originally posted by Katie

Well. You chose some pretty popular songs and then superficially described their premises. That's kind of basic. I wish you had done more than copy and paste.

Originally posted by DripDrip

Lawd how I much I love Dido's voice. So haunting. Stan overall is an amazing song, my favorite Em song to be honest. That being said, I feel like Britney felt a little random, and Madonna kind of left me hanging, with a powerful song like Stan, you kind of let the other two hanging.

This entry blew me away... I guess I'm an oddball. I really love the different types of sadness and the various people it can touch. I do get that they don't flow together well, but I still thought your choices were solid and well-rounded. A+ from me!

Originally posted by Katie

Kind of all over the place. I'm not exactly sure how the trinity works other than all being roughly about sadness. Your last sentence ties them together but it would have been nicer to see that throughout.

Originally posted by DripDrip

Chilling entry Monte, very bone chilling. I got nerves listening to this, although sometimes I still feel like it lacks a complete package, its a tremendous improvement from last time. Very unique, and very well put together. The very somber feeling ties it together, but I want to see a bigger package. Good job though, great improvement from last time.

Pretty Lady

Originally posted by Collin

Though these are 3 beautifully sad songs, I don't see it coming full circle. It seems like a string of relationship-struggle tracks. Also, I recommend keeping your write-ups short(er) and sweet(er) Not a bad trinity by any means! Just a bump in the road, I hope

Originally posted by Katie

It's too bad this was late because it was actually one of my favorites. No bad comments.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I'm sad to its okay. I'm going to just say....interesting choice of songs, It still feels like its a bit lacking, some times it feels scattered and rushed still. I liked all the choices you made, and strangely its very unique in my opinion compared to the vast amount of other songs I've heard in the entries. Try to just work on making it that package.

Originally posted by Collin

This trinity is amazing! These three songs cover three very important facets of sadness in different auras. Great job!

Originally posted by Katie

Fun fact: Because of You is my "favorite" sad song and I was hoping to see it! I wish there was a little more you in there, but maybe that's too personal.

Originally posted by DripDrip

Oh lord, you really just wanna make me curl into a ball. Although a little on the safe song, the way you described each song and meshed them together worked so fantastic, I was just ready to bust out my embroidered cloth towel.

Killer Queen

Originally posted by Collin

Everybody Hurts was a bit cliche, but the other two tracks were quite pleasant selections (though a bit random). Not the strongest trinity, but not half bad.

Originally posted by Katie

YAS for Hilary. Your entry was good. Good...but just kind of there. I can't say anything about it really pops out at me.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I'm sorry about your friend

I loved how you reflected on other sadness, instead of making it a personal one, and you started and ended with a same thing, it really brought your entire trinity together, and even your middle song connecting to the other two. Really great entry.

Luigi

Originally posted by Collin

You seemed to reach a little with the subjects - is bargaining, for example, an crucial facet of sadness? Either way, this trinity was quite nice. The personal connections are probably the highlights. The genre doesn't really change, though. Still, good work!

Originally posted by Katie

Great entry! I feel like yours was the most honest and sincere. Like these are songs to which you actually listen when you're feeling sad.

Originally posted by DripDrip

Yes at Hurt being used the right way, this song is sad! Its about regret, denial, and sadness. A great way to start your entry. Irvine felt a little lost and just thrown in there, and I felt like you could have tied it together better, but you ended it on a strong note. Great use of really powerful female vocalist though.

Nait Phoenix

Originally posted by Collin

I feel like this trinity improved per song. I liked the mood changes and the different subjects covered, you went all across the board. Good entry!

Originally posted by Katie

Wow, you really have a connection to music. Your sadness was the most diverse in my opinion. Anyone can relate to your entry which is always a good thing.

Originally posted by DripDrip

I love how your connect your entries to things beyond what we expect from you. You reach out and really think outside of the box, you entry is very unique and very well put together. I'm glad you look at the border picture of things and really focus of thinking outside of the box.

The Golden Trinity will be notified soon. Stay tuned.

[Hugamari]

Oh exciting!

EDIT: Was it apparent I struggled for my life on this challenge? I never listen to sad music since I listen to music to avoid said feeling...so they might not be the saddest songs. I tried my best with what I had, though.

[Garrix]

Well, a small improvement from my last trinity. That's good for me, for now anyways. Need to step up my game more.

[Legend E]

Thank you judges

My best comments so far

Thanks! And if you feel something is missing, that's because of the theme - the songs are supposed to leave you with a sad, empty feeling after listening to my trinity

That's like the biggest compliment ever. Thank you so much!

Drip, I'm glad you liked my entry as well and how the songs transitioned into each other. I'm especially glad you liked the first song!
