 Malala's Critiques Once again ladies, you've done a great job! But some of you, unfortunately did not manage to give us the full picture. Team D'Piggy I have to admit that I thought your photo was going to be the most challenging; but you managed to pull through and deliver a very fitting song for the picture! A really great song, and you also managed to bring us the photo's essence into the song, congratulations to both of you ladies. | Team Phoeda Everyone take a look at these two; this is how you win the race. I am speechless. What a masterpiece you've given us ladies! I could not be more amazed than I am right now. You've totally managed to capture the photo perfectly and deliver it in such a great song. I love everything about this song, literally. Congratulations to both of you, you've proven yourselves worthy of being here! | Team Green Apple I have to say, I'm not overly satisfied with this choice. Yeah, it is indeed a really good song, and congratulations on that. But there's nothing more than the title that connects it to photo you were provided. Lyrically, the song did not make me picture what it should. I'm disappointed in you girls, especially Colleen who won last challenge. | Team Pu$$yfart$ Another challenge, another slay. Junglepu$$y, you've managed to bring it once again and I'm glad to see you Cakefart$ come forward to the competition as well! I think this song completely matched your photo and it gave me exactly what I was expecting; a song about a heartbreak was the perfect way to go. And the song itself is a brilliant choice as well, well done! | Team Delileah A very nice song that was good enough for the picture. You've managed to give us the message of the photo as you intepreted it perfectly. However, I feel like it needed something more to push it further ahead. But I can't say that you failed on this challenge at all, but it was probably just a safe choice. | Team Lyra Electra This song is really good, but I have to say that it might not have been the best choice for this challenge. I can see the message you provided with this song matching with the picture; however, I'm not really convinced about the song itself being the "perfect match" for the photo. I think that the song only matched the photo lyrically and failed to match it elsewhere. A good effort, nevertheless. |

Ornacia's CritiquesTeam D'Piggy | Bas & Wysteria  I really liked your choice this week! The song was good, it fit well with the picture you have chosen and I feel like you combined both the visuals and the deeper meaning of the picture. I don't really have anything else to say, good job this week!  Team Phoeda | Callum & George J. Have either of you seen my wig? No but seriously, this was a wonderful choice. The song is absolutely stunning and stands out a lot this week. You might've gone a little obvious theme-wise but you also had a picture where I can't judge you for that and either way nobody can pretend like your song doesn't absolutely hit the mark this week. It's a perfect match with your picture and therefore a perfect choice. Team Green Apple | Jens & Luiri This was... cute? Your song is decent, I neither love it nor hate it but it's rather good than bad. However, I don't feel like you've put a lot of effort into your choice because, as Malala explained, the only connection to your picture is the song title, and maaaaybeeeeee the overall vibe of the song. I think you could've gone a lot further to be honest. Team Pu$$yfart$ | agni & Eke I think you did a great job with the picture you chose, the song's atmosphere fits really well and describes exactly what I'm seeing. I'm slightly confused by the lyrics though, maybe I'm stupid but I barely understand them? I'm getting it's about a failed love but the way the singer sings about that is... interesting to say the least and almost borders on being pretentious in my opinion. I like poetic lyrics but these are a little over the top. The song itself is pretty good but nothing to gag over, yet obviously a decent choice. All in all you did a good job this week however, since you fit the picture really well! Team Delileah | Alper & Aless Similar to Team Pu$$yfart$ I think you did a nice job on representing your picture with a song that's good but not great. It took me some time to appreciate the song, I personally feel like it's a bit monotone in the first half and judging from the lyrics you wrote I also feel like she sings a bit lifeless considering the topic is emotional. Nevertheless, the song is good and I think you did a great job at expressing the meaning of the picture. For that you also went deeper than most others and didn't go for anything obvious and I like that! Team Lyra Electra | CHAE WITH A C & Aglan Eek. I mean, the song is an absolute bop. And the lyrics kinda fit your picture. But this is where the good news end, unfortunately. Paper House is one of the most overused songs in recent times and I think you could've gone a lot more original, just like you did last week Lyra. Additionally, I think the lyrics only have a weak connection to the interpretation you wrote. I can see where you're coming from but personally I don't see the picture as strongly represented in the lyrics as you claim it to be. Again, I'm glad you took the time to analyse the meaning of the picture but I don't think you've made an intelligent choice. Great effort but sadly you missed the mark. |

Nene's critiques
Another fabulous week my queens, however not all of you managed to snatch one of my many many wigs this week, so here's what I have to say about your choices!
Team D'Piggy | Bas Wysteria
If I'll be honest, you had one of the "harder" pictures but you still managed to send a song that's related to the picture through it's lyrics and it's theme! "Surrender" is such an amazing bop that fits perfectly to the image and allows us to visualize it's meaning through the song. I've nothing much else to say other than I can't stop listening to this song now! Well done sweeties, I think the next week is looking good for you.
Team Phoeda | George J. Callum
What was that? Firstly, you send a song that's in Hungarian, something that we don't often see here on Daniel's Song Race, secondly you send a song with such a mystical vibe that fits perfectly to your assigned image. I feel that the overall essence of the song relates perfectly, as we can see a wig sitting in the forest in such a pure and harmonic setup. I have to say I'm very surprised with you both, you did an amazing job and I hope you keep it up next week!
Team Green Apple | Jens Luiri
Ladies, I have to say I'm not too captivated by your choice this week. Of course, the title of your song fits very well to the overall message of the image, and the lyrics can also associate to the picture as well, but overall it was just not amazing. The song was a nice one, and I can relate the vibe to the picture, although I'm not captivated by it either. However given your win last week Colleen, I do expect more from you in the coming weeks and I know you can snap!
Team Pu$$yfart$ | Eke agni
First of all, loving your iconic team name, I wish I could do that to my nemesis from the Real Housewives of Atlanta, Kim and or Claudia.. stupid wigs thinking they are it girls! Oh wait.. I'm so sorry! I got carried away. Anyway, in all the submissions this week yours was perhaps one of the best, in my opinion. I felt a deep connection between the song you submitted and the overall gloomy theme of the image assigned. It wasn't easy at all, but you managed to capture the overall vibe associated with the song. I'm not surprised with you Junglepu$$y since you snapped last week, but I'm definitely looking forward to more from you Cake Fart$ after this submission!
Team Delileah | Alper Aless
I don't know what to say, other than that was an interesting choice of song for this week (in a very good way)! At first, the song wasn't my cup of tea, but when I got further into it I get how you associated this song with your image. The fact that it wasn't in English also makes it unique, alongside that of your fellow queens on Team Phoeda. A very nice attempt, and I'm very happy you dug deep into the song to find the correlation between that and your image.
Team Lyra Electra | Aglan CHAE WITH A C
Unfortunately gals, I can't say I'm very impressed with your submission this week. Your choice of song was a okay, although I do wish you could have dug deeper. The lyrics of the song match up with the picture at some points, but overall the connection isn't strong. I don't think it was a perfect match and that was your downfall, in my opinion. I applaud and must give you credit however into how you interpreted this song, because personally I never would have thought in the same way, and I know you two can push it even further.
