It just looks worse because there's less eliminations. That judge was fired for a reason

Jackson Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Just now, Corsola said: Well if you don't consider or care about the opinions of the contestants who will actually be performing the challenges, then it's no wonder so many contestants are left either dissatisfied or quitting entirely. Personally, I think it says a lot that even 10.5 had more contestants and was more competitive with more satisfaction. I've only really been in one full season as you know but I genuinely don't remember diamond hit having half as many complaints. You alone made up about 80%, and even then, it didn't amount to what I've seen from this season. And considering you just said that you truly believe that the opinion of the contestants isn't important and shouldn't matter compared to you as the host, it doesn't surprise me. You think it says something about my challenges that people didn't sign up? Girl, the logic here I've seen hardly any complains this season, and if they've all been happening behind my back then maybe that's the problem! How am I supposed to change what I don't know? And once again, you didn't sign up. Why do you have more problems than the actual contestants?

Jackson Posted October 16, 2017 Author Posted October 16, 2017 Just now, Corsola said: Not what I meant @ the first sentence. I can guarantee I have less problems than contestants considering the only ''problem'' of mine that I've outlined is that I think the contestants should be kept in mind. If that alone is enough for you to get defensive over my nonexistent amount of problems, then maybe that says something about you as a host? Your 15 paragraphs say otherwise sis We been KNEW I shouldn't have been the host, I knew since before this started I'd be too busy, but I'd still love to see you do a better job

Now the purpose of this challenge is to, as you say in the challenge post, "rethink what it means to be a songwriter"? Don't you see how contradictory that is and how little sense it makes, saying one week that you need to stick inside the box and follow what is 'appropriate' and then next week you need to change and go outside the box? How do you even deem what is 'appropriate' in the first place when, like I said, writing is entirely subjective. What am I supposed to think or do with inconsistent ****ty feedback like that?

Hug Posted October 16, 2017 Posted October 16, 2017 Okay, so since I sent a different entry, here is the entry I originally sent. It was a troll entry that I wrote in 10 minutes because I had just read reviews/results and was pressed so that along with my frustration with the challenge made me snap. I have had some time to calm down and get things out of my system and we are better now! So here is what I wrote out of frustration. The restrictions were no polysyllabic words and 200 words exact (the same two restrictions I chose for my real entry ) Small bird, small bird Hatched from her egg Small bird, small bird Her down is red Small bird, small bird New to the world Small bird, small bird Wow! It’s a girl! Small bird, small bird Lives in the nest Small bird, small bird Mom gets her fed Small bird, small bird She loves her life Small bird, small bird She wants to fly Small bird, small bird Grew up a bit Small bird, can she fly? ...no, not yet Small bird, small bird Still has to learn Small bird, small bird Soon it’s her turn Mom bird, mom bird Clears out the nest One bird, two bird Soon she’ll be next Small bird, small bird Lifts up her wings Small bird, small bird She starts to sing Small bird, small bird Falls on her head Small bird, small bird Now she is dead Small bird, small bird She loved her life Small bird, small bird Now she will fly Small bird, small bird Nest in the sky Small bird, small bird Now she won't cry Small bird, small bird Now you are gone Small bird, small bird This is your song Small bird, small bird You have been loved
