Kathleen's Critiques
Good afternoon slags! Another very good week - very difficult for me to rank, but I've made my decision and here are my thoughts.ANDRÉLLE This was really nice: a take on cinematic music that I haven't heard much of. An overall very solid entry, but perhaps one that failed to stand out slightly amongst the others. Still a great effort! | GEMMA COLLINS I wasn't really expecting to like this but I was very pleasantly surprised! Really enjoyed this, didn't necessarily wow me but once again a very good entry from you. |
| SCARLETT VON KOCK I appreciate that you went for something different musically but it didn't really work for me. This felt more like a song that happened to be in a movie rather than the other way around which would be okay if the song was worthwhile but this wasn't it unfortunately. | SHEMALENA GOMEZ I've been a bit worried about your entries for the last few weeks but this truly proved you're here to stay! A gorgeous song and a great entry that you can definitely be proud of.
| WEEDY WILLIAMS I feel like at this point, going for an artist like Florence is a bit of a cheap move, but I can't deny that this song is absolutely superb, and really represented the theme well. You haven't made this job easy for any of us judges!

Valérie's critiques
I want to start with congratulations to have reached that far girls, Again, it was a hard week to rank, but I do believe I managed doing a ranking, and so here's my critiques for this week.
•••••
Scarlett von Kock I appreciate the risk and your move for trying to be different, especially at this point of the competiton, compared to what was sent this week. For me, it worked, especially since I'm a fan of such songs.
Andrélle A gem, everything on this song seems perfect, and the voice of Susanne Sundfør is only elevating to an higher ground.
Gemma Collins ...when I started listening to your song, I expected something good from you... but I felt disappointed at it after the first listen, and the second listen didn't helped more.
Shemalena Gomez A charming and lovely song, it got me at the first listen. You perfectly did what we asked for.
Weedy Williams Florence is obviously a great singer, but at this point, everything, even the artist's choice, count in the ranking. However, the song is amazing, and it works fine for this week

WEB DIVA TULLA LUANA®'S CRITIQUES
Ain't nobody got time for gifs Andrélle A very powerful song with a solid cinematic vibe. Even though the choice itself wasn't really surprising, the quality of the song definitely outstood for me. Whatever happens tonight, you should be really proud of your entry!
Gemma Collins I'm sorry my dear, but this was the only song I didn't feel tonight. It's not that it doesn't fit the theme (literally every choice this week did), but it's just that I didn't really like it. Nothing else.
Shemalena Gomez Even though I personally think the quality of this movie is really bad (don't hate me for this x), that's something I can't say about its soundtrack. "Mystery of Love" is definitely the most pleasing song I've heard this week. I can see you're keeping your track Shemalena!
Scarlett von Kock As the other judges say, I really appreciate the fact that you went for something completely different than the rest of the queens but, even though your entry is special and definitely worth it, I must admit that out of the only five entries we've had tonight, this wasn't the one which I liked the most.
Weedy Williams Unlike the other judges, I don't really mind the choice of Florence as the artist, especially when you came with a song that perfectly represents the theme of the week. But, it's true that you should think about the artists you choose since originality can get to be mortal at this point of the competition.

Thank you judges!
My queens, at this point in the competition I have to ask this question: Who should be going home tonight, and why?

Starting with Weedy Williams
I have to say that Scarlett should go home. Her song this week I find to be pandering and she also has the worst track record of those left here tonight. Nothing against her personally, I'm just stating facts.

Who do you think should go home Shemalena?
I believe Scarlett should be leaving this week, not that I have anything against her but looking at the competition she clearly has the worst track record, and her entry this week has been... lackluster at best, in my opinion at least.

Scarlett, who should leave?
Even if I think that everyone did a great job, I think Gemma or Weedy should go home tonight. Gemma because her entry this week left me cold, I didn't really like it and in general I wasn't a big fan of her entries throughout the season and felt like she was overrated at times, like the dance challenge. Additionally, I disapprove of her being late every week as it shows a lack of interest. And quite honestly I perceive Weedy to be overrated by the judges almost every week and this week I think both her artist and movie choice are very uninspired and not worth a top 4 spot, especially after bottoming just last week.

What about you, Gemma?
Can't even talk right now, I can't bear it. I'm not petrified, I've just never dealt with snakes, and for that reason, Weedy needs to pack her stuff and get out tonight. It is absolutely outrageous in today's society that Florence and the Machine, which, by the way, I'm a massive fan of the Florence and the Machine, to be sent to a week with a song that has nothing valuable about it at all. As well as that, back in Week 6, you told me I needed a gastric band, and you know you did. Between that and Florence, nasty.
