DANIEL IS BEAUTIFUL!

I agree that he's lovely. He's just not Hollywood-pretty.

That's true. But Hollywood is generic. Yousef is uniquely gorgeous. I see it as a good thing.

Well, my original point was that if Kellylen thinks Taylor isn't pretty enough for LG15, she should take a good look at Yousef.

But believe me, I'm a Yousef fan. He's turning me straight, remember?

Si, I remember. But Yousef is more than pretty enough for LG15.

Personally, and it's only me, I cannot connect with Taylor at all. I started watching lg15 soon after the very first video was posted, so I actually believed that Bree was a real girl. She was 16, and so was I. She was going through problems that I could relate to, she seemed like a sensitive, caring, wonderful girl, and my heart went out to her. I was intrigued by her story; the story of a girl who was reaching out to people the only way she knew how: through her computer.

When Daniel was introduced, I knew I could relate to him. The "Boy Problems" video came out at a time when something similar was happening between me and a friend of mine, so in that way, I could connect with Daniel.

When Gemma was introduced, I loved her. I've had a thing for british accents, and I thought her eyes were really pretty. There always seemed to be something a little off about her, but I liked her, because, well, she reminded me of myself. In that way, I could relate to her.

When Jonas was introduced, I fell in love, not only because of his astounding good looks, but because of his charm and his constant pop culture references. He's the kind of guy that I'd want as a best friend, because I felt like I had so much in common with him.

When Alex was introduced, I had my misgivings about her. But I thought she was pretty, and I loved seeing Daniel going after someone other than Bree. Plus, it was apparent from the get go that she was going to play a major role in some future story arc. I was excited to see what would develop from her character.

Then this Taylor gets semi-introduced (the Creators haven't established her as canon yet), and...there's no connection. I'm not sympathetic to her needs or problems like I was with Bree. I don't understand where she's coming from, like I did with Daniel. She certainly doesn't remind me of myself, like Gemma did. And NEVER would I make friends with someone who seems so annoying and full of herself. And even though her connection to the plot has yet to be revealed, really, what kind of trouble could this random 13 year old girl cause? Her parents are still around, she mentions "God" so I'm really not sure if she's the same religion that Bree is. She has no problems at all, besides this issue with her friend, which really can't be that serious. Overall, I am not impressed with this character at all, and I cannot connect with her on any level whatsoever.

Sorry if that came off a little bitter sounding. I was just trying to explain my feelings better.

I second everything PolkadotConfederation said whole-heartedly.

hollywood pretty is shameful on the womens side most of the time... older men or 1 year celebs own the guys side...


REGRESSING TO 1/2 REAL POINTs .. if there is a real decision between the 2, maddison has me... i doubt shes cannon very highly, so if this soccer girl is tied to it... i hope you have a sickly FANTASTIC spin doctor.... but i wont assume this is cannon until it is...

Thank you. It's nice to know that some people agree.

I have noticed that a lot of young girls are into soccer these days. A few of my friends have daughters that are entering high school and soccer is a big deal to these girls (I think it started with Mia Hamm - I think that's her name). Although I don't dislike this girl as much as others, I don't think she is going to be a great hit. She reminds me of the girl that hangs out with a large group of girls, but is always overlooked. There is just nothing extraodinary about her. She just does not stand out. Like the one girl who was not offered a drink at the party, because nobody noticed she was there.

i love yousef i think hes pretty!

yessssss thirding everything kassia said.

and Aithne I got that vibe from her too

"I start but she doesn't but that's ok because she's one of the best back-ups ever."

Then she says she didn't expect her best friend to make her shot. So on one hand she clains this girl is her best friend then on the other hand she takes digs at her.

I think maybe this character might be set up so we don't like her at first blush. For you Buffy fans think Cordelia.

Am I the only one who noticed that Taylor says, "My arm hurts."?
And, now her playing is suddenly "off" and she's not focusing. Maybe she's getting shots for the ceremony?


*I don't know if she is/is not canon, but that was a nicely played, subtle connection.
ETA: Nevermind...I'm a dufus...her arm probably hurts from holding the stupid camera.

I commented in the Plot discussion topic on a reason why I haven't merged that discussion with this one.

I really think this is canon. Until that is determined one way or another, I'd like to remind everyone to please not make mean-spirited comments about the person in this video. Criticism is one thing, but just saying mean things isn't welcome here at the forum.
