Talent Entries-Discussion

[Marvin D.]

Right here, our three judges--bookworm, AE, and IDJ--will discuss the wonderful entries that we received in our And You Think You've Got Talent?! contest. Each one can introduce themselves right before they comment on the entries, as long as they aren't too flowery about their entry, if applicable.

A quick summary about each one:

I’ll be the mean one.

I have an extremely positive personality and can be very reasonable when needed (and sometimes even when not needed ).

I'm the one who always says "yo dawg" and stuff.

All right, judges. Just a quick note. You have 11 entries to judge, and exactly 7 days to do it in. Hence, you won't be able to judge one item per day. Perhaps what you can do is to give your opinion on all eleven entries, and then go through each the entries in more detail. Just as long as you try to finish in this week

Get busy

[bookworm]

So you want us to each post our thoughts on all of them at once?

[Marvin D.]

So that at least you get through them that way, yes, and then you can go through them more detailed.

This could take longer than seven days...

...but I shall do my best

Entry 1: Graphic Design

Sup, entry #1. Wez all know youse a lady friend because no dawg would ever make, ya know... stuff like that.

Baby, I know you worked hard on that picture... yeah, yeah, yeah. When I saw "ptL photography", I was like sweeeeet. Smooth move making it a big L. I got nothing bad to say.

Note: My slang talk should improve over time.. I'm still working on it. *wink*

[bookworm]

Well, AE apparently didn’t follow your instructions.
But I think there’s long enough to comment on the entries one at a time.
As long as we’re online at the same time we can go through more than one a day.
I have to go soon today, but I’ll be on most of tomorrow afternoon. If the other judges are on we can breeze through them easily.

[American Eagle]

Heh, yeah, I didn't even bother to look at the instructions. Whatever we do, it's time to get going!

[Musical Shutterbug]

I was told to introduce myself before commenting on entries

Hello, I am IDANCE4JESUS! You can call me IDANCE, most girls on the forum do, or if you happen to be Marv or AE, you can call me IDJ. Or, my most common nickname is ID4J. Whatever woks

I have a lot of hobbies, and if you really want the full list, you can visit my profile. Mainly, I am here to judge because I like being critical, argumentative, sarcastic and annoying

Not really, only occasionally I am here to judge because I believe that everyone has hidden talents that have been bestowed upon them by God. I want to be able to encourage everyone in their gifts and abilities.

...and that's about it

Now comes the fun part

Entry 1: Graphic Design

Simply terrible. The text has nothing to do with the image, it’s talking about women not cats! And what kind of cat is that anyway? Clearly the proper cat for the image would be a Siamese.

Woooow, dawg. You sure know how to lay it on.

IDJ, after you critique #1, let's do two at a time to make sure we're done in a week. Sound good?

[bookworm]

I think one at a time is fine. I’ll be on for a few hours, so if you’re still on and she’s on we can go through them pretty quick. (I have my comments all ready, so I just need to post them at the proper times.)

[American Eagle]

I have to work tonight until 11pm, and don't have anything written.

[bookworm]

Why don’t you (both) write them over the weekend and we’ll find a time all three of us are on Monday and we’ll post them.
This goes until Wednesday, right?

[American Eagle]

That sounds decent... or perhaps we could work on it over the weekend, but post a few comments in the meantime.

[bookworm]

I was going to suggest that, except I won’t be on over the weekend.
But Monday afternoon I’ll be ready to go.

[American Eagle]

*goes to write some yo dawg criticisms for Monday*

[Musical Shutterbug]

Sounds good to me *writes comments for Monday*

Entry 1: Graphic Design

I personally love this entry

A bible verse graphic with a adorable kitty cat? What on earth could be cuter?! I think it would be more effective if the words were a tad bigger...but beyond that, it is marvelous! A truly epic idea.

[bookworm]

Alright, let’s do this.

Edit:

...and I’m the only one here.
You two better get on soon or I don’t know what we’ll do.

[American Eagle]

Entry 2: Video

Oh snap, you’re good. First I was like whoa, and then I was like whoahhh, and then I was like whoa... I must question the decision to wear a green board as a shirt, but dawg, you were like... all that.

[bookworm]

Entry 2: Video

A good trick, but a bad performance. When you made the cloth disappear your hand went off-screen! That completely ruined the effect. Your hand also dips off-screen before you make it reappear, which suggests that you simply threw the cloth away and then picked it up again. So either your trick is exposed, or you did it so poorly it was suspicious.
