Tyria's Next Top Model - The Finale -- Winner: Jaden Stone!

Quote:

Go Maria!!!!!!

Jaden, you definately get my vote.

I've been reading this on and off for a few weeks now, and today went back to the beginning and looked at each contestant's body of work. For me, you win hands down. Please don't think that I'm detracting from the hard work and effort that others have put, I think you've all done amazingly, but for me Jaden, you have the edge.

As for what has happened over the last few pages, well, I didn't read the unedited post, nor would I want to. I will not be voting in a popularity contest, I'll be voting on who I think should be TNTM. And as I've said above, based on the body of work to hand, for me that's you.

I want Jaden to win too, overall I think he had the better pictures and I like sins more than eles.
Bonus points for him taking a pic next to my afk ranger in lev pits

From tweleve to the final two, this has been an amazing journey for you guys. And throughout this whole competition, you guys have done some amazing work. We will now go through each of your portfolio once more side by side and compare Burnout Chic's pictures, to Jaden Stone's pictures. Starting with

Week 1: Origins:

Judge 1: The goal of this assignment was to produce an ad that represents your campaign of origin. To me, Burnout Chic, you made more of an impression than Jaden Stone. Burnout Chic's picture could easily be a movie or a soap opera poster ad. Jaden Stone, I don't get Factions from this shot at all.

Judge 2: I don't particularly like either of those shots, Burnout Chic yours actually don't live up to Prophecies as far as Lore goes, and Jaden Stone, yours just ddoesn't strike me as Factions right off the top. Between the two, I would say Burnout Chic has the better shot, I could at least see her campaign right off the bat whereas it would be more difficult to differentiate between Jaden Stone's picture.

Judge 3: I think assignment-wise, Burnout Chic does take it between the both of you, but as far as picture goes, I think Jaden Stone has the better picture.

Week 02 - Models Gone Wild

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/02.png

Judge 1: Burnout Chic's picture is more striking than Jaden Stone's picture. The whole theme of Burnout Chic's picture just works for me. Jaden Stone's picture is very suspenseful, but it doesn't present as much raw emotion that Burnout Chic's picture does.

Judge 2: Burnout Chic has the better picture, here you go showing attitude, so I could definitely see how that works as your motif. I love everything from armor choice, to scenery, to specimen chosen. Jaden Stone, this picture is quite boring in comparison to Burnout Chic's picture. I just feel that there was more thought put into Burnout Chic's picture and that Jaden Stone could've done so much more.

Judge 3: I like Jaden Stone's originality in this shot, however, Burnout Chic definitely has the better shot as a whole.

Week 03: Winter Catalog

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/03.png

Judge 1: Burnout Chic's picture is a little safe and very lackluster. Jaden Stone's picture totally blows me away, I love the elegance and the sleekness of the shot, and the color scheme, although a little dark, totally makes me think of satins and silks.

Judge 2: Jaden Stone has the better presentation on this one most definitely. Unfortunately, Burnout Chic's picture can't even compare to Jaden Stone's shot on this one. I'm going to side on Jaden Stone and say that Burnout Chic totally pick the wrong picture to submit, I still don't understand why the Victoria Secret Angel shot with the paragon wings was dismissed.

Judge 3: I think Jaden Stone's picture is by far the better picture for this week. Burnout Chic's picture was very bland compared to Jaden Stone's shot. Jaden Stone's shot was very elegant, very sexy, very chic. Burnout Chic was just boring.

Week 04: Rally The Gods!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/04.png

Judge 1: If I had to choose, I would say Jaden Stone had the better picture, but believe me when I say I didn't really care for either of you two's shots.

Judge 2: Jaden Stone's shot fails because the god statue was just not readily seen at first glance. That shouldn't happen, ever. As for Burnout Chic, the movement wasn't there for me, you we're just as linear as the Lyssa statue.

Judge 3: It was a disappointing week for everyone in general. I would say Burnout Chic has the better shot, I actually like the spell casting stance, it was dark, but I prefer that over the search for Grenth in Jaden Stone's picture.

Week 05: Ciao Bello!

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/05.png

Judge 1: Burnout Chic has the better shot in my opinion, there was somewhat of an effort to be creative and interact with the male model, whereas Jaden Stone's shot was a bit safe.

Judge 2: I think this is the first time that Jaden Stone really capitalize on her androgynous features, this is the first shot where I can actually say this is a model and not a cirque de sol acrobat. Burnout Chic, your shot wasn't there for me

Judge 3: Burnout Chic's picture is much more prettier and livelier, but I think Jaden Stone's shot was better executed and more suited for modeling.

Week 06: Go-Sees Challange

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/06.png

Judge 1: Jaden Stone's picture we're all over posey movements, if you can really tell me that overposing isn't your signature, than I would just drastically disagree, you've did it all nine of your go sees picture, and majority of your regular portfolio, whether you intended it or not, its what you've made yourself to be known for. You over posed to the point where the fashion and the idea of showing the armor pieces completely disappeared. Burnout Chic's picture showed much more variety as far as posing goes. I think both of you gave somewhat stale deliveries as far as talking about the fashion side of the armor.

Judge 2: I agree, this is exactly where all of us on panel really said Jaden Stone over poses way too much. Over posing isn't necessarily a bad thing, but if that's all youre basing your work on, than its not going to do you any good, flip through a magazine and tell me how many model shots you can actually see is posing like that. You can base any modeling career on over posing. Burnout Chic, your pictures we're ranging from bad to good, but at least there was a range in there at all.

Judge 3: I have to agree, very over the top, very unnecessary posing on Jaden Stone's part, but comparing to Burnout Chic's pictures, I think Jaden Stone has the better delivery. The poses are far more interesting to look at, however, that does take away from looking at the armor pieces, which is what we really wanted to see, so Burnout Chic's showing was more for the assignment.

Week 07: Who's The Boss?

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/07.png

Judge 01: Burnout Chic takes it for me, this is Beauty and the Beast, its so cute, the positioning for both you and the mob was perfection. It's very inspiring and fun. Jaden Stone's picture wasn't my favorite, but it wasn't bad, again lost points for the background. Burnout Chic definitely had the better showing in this shot.

Judge 02: Burnout Chic has the better picture, I think Jaden Stone's picture looked like a granny shot. The hips look massive, it looks like your back went out, it's so contorted to the point of no return. Burnout Chic's picture looked more young and fresh by comparison.

Judge 03: I loved Burnout Chic's shot, its so ballet inspired, its very pretty. I don't like the hex mark that is floating around the mob, but other than that, it's definitely better than Jaden Stone's shot.

Week 08: Double Or Nothing

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/08.png

Judge 01: Burnout Chic's picture is my favorite between the two, it's much more hip, much more sexy. Jaden Stone's picture was a little rocky for me, I also didn't like the background you guys came up with, its not spectacular, but its not bad, its just a poor choice if your goal was to show great luxon sights.

Judge 02: Jaden Stone our one note, movement again, not great, not original, not my favorite. Burnout Chic definitely gets my pick for this week, you also won MOTW, and I think it was well deserved.

Judge 03: I loved Burnout Chic's picture, its really sexy, and it seems that all three of you we're in unison, in harmony, absolute my favorite shot that week. Jaden Stone's picture, not so much, you're flooding us with movement, I'm hoping you see why we harp at you about that, if you really take the time and look at every shot you submitted, it really does get over bearing with the poses. Generally speaking, its all you do.

Week 09: Signature Pose

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v4...rincess/09.png

Judge 01: Jaden Stone, that's not your signature, if there was another person that has your exact look and I had to choose between the two of you which one was which, I would be looking for something over posey to differentiate between the two, signature is what pulls out out of the pack, this is not your signature. Burnout Chic, that's more you, we've seen this in the past, and that is you. Both of your critiques we're up to par, but I have to favor Burnout Chic's comments simply because they pair up more versus Jaden Stone's comments.

Judge 02: I think Burnout Chic has the better picture, but Jaden Stone has the better critique excluding the scoring which was just out right not fair.

Judge 03: Boths hots weren't signature at all, but I think Jaden Stone has the better shot, it's still movement, but more refined and matured. Burnout Chic, it's one thing to have attitude and be fierce, its another to look like a thugged out hood rat, which is what I think this picture is, not modelesque at all.

Week 10: The Finale

Judge 01: Burnout Chic's is the cover shot, Jaden Stone is the landscape shot. Jaden Stone's film had the potential, but the result was not there for me. Both of your interviews weren't exactly the best, but as far as picture goes, Burnout Chic has my pick.

Judge 02: Burnout Chic does have the stronger shot, I think both you and Nilene look great and strong. Jaden Stone, Nilene, waterfalls, mountains...Looking at Nilene's pictures, I was not impressed with what I saw was submitted by Jaden Stone.

Judge 03: Burnout Chic has the better picture, but Jaden Stone's picture absolutely takes my breath away, its so beautifully done, I loved it.


Overall:

Judge 01: I actually felt that Jaden Stone has been the better performer, but after doing this comparison, I think Burnout Chic has the better portfolio. As far as personality goes, both of you had your ups and downs. Burnout Chic, I think you can get a little too aggressive, and the blowout with the plus size model thing was not something that worked for your favor. Jaden Stone, same comment, my jaw dropped when I saw what was said, throughout this competition, you had been the most calm, and collected person, you embraced every challenge and never questioned anything, and when you said what you said, I was a shocked. I'm not sure if you just cracked under pressure, or what, but it was not impressive at all.

Judge 02: I think both of you guys have a fair portfolio. I think Burnout Chic has the better potential, but as Jaden Stone pointed out, your selection is not where it needs to be, my guess is that you are concentrating too much on the art and photography, and not the fashion and model side. Jaden Stone, what a surprise to see that outburst, but in your defense, Burnout Chic had that outburst with the plus size modeling as well. Either way, both will not be tolerated and will hurt you in the final vote.

Judge 03: I could go either way, I think both of you have your perfections and flaws. I really don't know where this will go, I could see either of you two being our winner, and I would be happy either way. Just have to wait and see the results!


Alright guys, at this time, the poll is up for Tyria's Next Top Model, so please cast your votes where you see fit! Our winner will be announced on February 25, 2007...good luck to both Burnout Chic and Jaden Stone!
