So if you haven’t heard as of recent times, there’s a plan to revive the old classic event on Fanpop called Fanpop’s Got Talent, or FGT. This entire event if being organized by a great man by the username of Kuro_Hyou666, and I highly recommend you support him. Because of this man, users from all around Fanpop can compete in an ultimate contest to be the best in a certain category.

Here are the categories as of right now: Haiku, Fanfiction, Singing, Dancing, and Drawing/Digital Art.

…...But what’s in for the critics out there? What about reviews? What about Top 10’s or Countdowns in general? It figures that one of the most unique categories isn’t even allowed to be a thing as of right now.

Countdowns and Reviews would be a GREAT addition to FGT not only for the sheer amount of freshness and competition, but to me, the whole event just feels shallow without it. And because of this rule, many people, INCLUDING myself, can’t participate in doing what they truly love the most.

And as a fellow critic of Fanpop for 4 years now, I think it’s time to start an uprising. I’ve decided to start a new hashtag, and it’s #FreeOurCritique.

If we can spread the word about not only FGT 2016, but this hashtag as well, then we can get FGT 2016 to be a real thing. And possibly the most unique and varied one yet.

Reviews have been a thing for years, and so have countdowns. Plus, we’ve never really determined the BEST one yet. And yeah, there’s probably that ONE lonely article out there covering this, but it still contradicts itself.

I find the limitation of one of the most popular subjects as of recent times absolutely redundant, and it only hinders the competition as a whole. And yeah, there’s more categories deserving of this argument, but this is the one that seems to stick out the most.

Like a sore thumb, seriously.

So let’s all support Kuro_Hyou666 and make this event happen guys. More information is available from the following clubs: Fanpop’s Got Talent (Old Club), and my friend LGYCE’s new club regarding FGT 2016, Fanpop’s Got Talent Revival. (Since it sadly didn’t happen last year, and it won’t this year either if we don’t get down to it FAST.)

We’ve already gotten plenty of support from you guys, but we’re still in the need of participants and judges. And of course, us Fanpop critics want reviews AND countdowns to be allowed.

Thank you so much for listening, and as always, have a good one! :)
