Nene's critiques
Merry belated Christmas hunnies! Let's see if I thought you brought the Christmas spirit to our stage, or whether you became a right slag grinch.
Andrélle | αndreas
A nice improvement over last week! While it doesn't scream Christmas, that's not necessarily a bad thing. I feel like Sufjan captured the meaning of Christmas to him in this song, and I can tell that this song was made for this time of the year. It just exudes a Christmas vibe and the song is quite special in it's own right. You delivered this week hunni, and as you go forward I hope you continue this, given now you need to give it all you got.
Ketaminnie Mouse | Matt
Hi hunni! Welcome back to the contest, I was very impressed with you and Shemalena Gomez last week on your absolute wig snatchers. Now that you're back, I wanted to see if you have what it takes to stay. And surely enough, you proved me right. Although it's the most popular song of the bunch, that sometimes works to your advantage, and in your case, it did! It doesn't bring the typical Christmas jingle or instruments, but that doesn't mean it isn't a Christmas song - because it is. It gives me a Christmas vibe and when you listen to it, it's clear that this song was made for Christmas. I'm glad you chose it, it's a classic and I wasn't expecting this coming from you. Keep it up hun!
Jessica Ellen Cornish | alexeh
A marvelous choice from you this week my dear! Kate Bush is an absolute icon, let me just tell you that to start with. It doesn't give me a Christmas vibe at the start, but as the song progressed, I really got this happy and joyful vibe from it, and honestly I would definitely play this song at a Christmas party. I love the fact that you came at it from a different angle; the song doesn't explicitly mention "Christmas" but "December" and thus it gets you exited and hyped for Christmas, in my opinion. Great work from you this week sweetie!
Scarlett von Kock | Julian
I have to applaud you on yet another great submission. Like Callum mentioned, it isn't focused on Christmas, but that doesn't matter as much, because where it lacks a focus on Christmas, it just gives us a Winter vibe and you can tell Christmas is coming. Not every Christmas comes with snow, but if you think about it, Christmas is always associated with snow, and I felt that the song really touched on that. The lyrics are fabulous as well, they give a true Christmas vibe. I like how you tackled it this week dear, well done.
Shemalena Gomez | Eke
Ms Gomez the wig snatchers keep coming! So what if you sent the singer before in the contest? The song fits perfectly to the theme, so why not? As for your song, it isn't overly pretentious as you said, it approaches this theme in a different way; I find it not very camp either which is good for this challenge. The lyrics just scream Christmas to me, added to the beautiful vocals, it really contributes to how well this song fits into the theme of Christmas. While it focuses on it clearly, it works, and doesn't go over the top (I'm looking at you Mariah xo). Overall, a stunning performance from you hunny.
Tracy Martel | Dimitris
Oh hi sweetie, welcome back as well! I must say I'm happy to have you back, but I do need to ask something very important regarding this song - what happened? Firstly, I'll applaud you on the fact that it is clearly a Christmas oriented song, there's no doubting that. However, it is just a typical Christmas song otherwise, and there comes a point where it becomes too pretentious. You stuck to the theme, but that wasn't enough. It doesn't help that the song is low quality too, because at this stage of the race you need to give it your all, sweetie... and I don't know whether to think you can bring that to the very end. A shame, considering you're a stunning queen. |

You girls, are in the Bottom Two.
Which means
Ketaminnie Mouse
You are safe.
Scarlett von Kock and Shemalena Gomez, each one of you has to decide which of the bottom queens you will eliminate,
if you win the sing-off. While you will deliberate in the Workroom, the judges and I will spill the tea about our forum crushes. |

) amid its dark undertones. It also helps that you were the only one to go down this path of going for a song we all know (and hopefully all love (!)). Very well done, welcome back to the race once again!
