Kim Woodburn's Critiques

Another decent week, but you're still a chicken livered bunch, as always.

Team RexLanna Adrià & Josh Luvvies, I thought this was quite good. But it definitely has its highs and lows, overall it's not as consistent as it could've been. Of course that is to be expected from rave.dj, and the part you highlighted was, of course, really quite good. However the lyrical content is something I do not approve of at all, FILTH!	Team RethStorm Lef & Rethnas What happened here? After listening to this I feel like I'm back on How Clean Is Your House? except for mashups. Oh, it's a mess, dears. What made you think this was good enough for this challenge? Chicken-livered shits, both of you.	Team AshleyScanner Alex & Alex Oh, yeesssss. This is music to my ears. I could, of course, bring out the fact that the two original songs weren't perhaps the most...original choices, compared to the choices some other teams made, but this sounds absolutely wonderful. Great job, luvvies.
Team StanMcCœur Dennis & William Listen here, you little buggers. This wasn't just good. This was truly amazing, I loved the fact that you picked such different songs and yet there really aren't any low points, like you said. This definitely feels professional, I am proud of you. Wonderful job!	Team YASpu$$y Julian & Jens Team YASpu$$y, luvvies. YAS is correct. This is a terrific mashup as well, and I really liked that you did something a bit different from the others. Just like Team StanMcCœur, there's really no low points in this, it's not messy. Good job!

Rebecca's Critiques

Congrats ladies! THIS is what I've been expecting throughout the whole season.

Team Rexlanna Adria & Josh You mixed two bops, and I can say, it worked out quite well! The chorus sounds amazing with For You's drop combined with Fetish's tempo. You got the idea of the challenge perfectly and SERVED it! Congrats!	Team YASpussy Julian & Jens I loved your approach towards this week. I adored both of the songs, and the mashup worked quite well. Nothing else to say.	Team RethStorm Rethnas & Lef Your mashup was definitely the weakest one this week. I don't really see a resemblance between Bambola and Vidlik, and the mashup proved it. Yous might be in danger, gurl.
Team AshleyScanner Alex BG & Alex UK What the? ON THE OTHER HAND, LET'S GET HERE. This is probably the best mashup I've ever heard in my entire life. The drop is so pleasing, I could fuck to it in the background without noticing it's even 2 songs combined together, it's THAT real! I actually downloaded this as a local file and added it to my favourites list; that usually never happens!	#STANMCCŒUR William & Dennis This snapped my ears too. The 2 songs go beautifully together and girl, i. am. living. I am not surprised though, as I was sure that this duo would bring us something different from the others, and well, you actually did! Keep up the great work ladies!

Mullac's Critiques

#TeamAshleyScanner Alex BG / Alex UK My girls you truly S N A P P E D this week! What an AMAZING entry, even better than the original songs. If I could I'd honestly give you a 100, as you're not deserving of a plain 10. GREAT job!	#TeamStanMcCœur Dennis / William Two amazing entries in ONE week? Probably the first time this happens this season. This song just ticked every box for me, and I expected nothing less from you two. Keep going!	#TeamYASpu$$y Julian / Jens First of all, I'd like to say that I loved your approach for this challenge, and the song, while a bit monotonous at times, was still great! Good job!
#TeamRethStorm Rethnas / Lefteris This was just... not it. The mash-up was quite messy and in a challenge where everyone else did a great job, it's not looking good for you. I expected much more...	#TeamRexLanna Josh / Adrià I really liked this! While not necessarily the best song this week, it's still a great choice and also a bop! Keep it up!

Callum's Critiques

Hello hunties! Let's see who's got the rave reviews this time...

Team AshleyScanner | alexeh  alex(a)bg

An absolutely fantastic effort from both of you, well done! THIS is the essence of this week's challenge. Two mashed up songs that fitted perfectly together, irrespective of what the songs were. You hit the nail perfectly. Kudos to you both, I hope your great teamwork transfers to yourselves as individuals!

Team RethStorm | Lᴇꜰ ~Rethnas~

This however... didn't really transfer well. I admire what you were trying to do with the choices but it just compositionally didn't work out. It fell quite flat on its face, to be honest. You need to do better than that, my dears!

Team RexLanna |𝐴𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑎̀ Josh's Tattoo (Inactive)

While I personally don't like the song choices you had this week, there is absolutely no denying that this mixed perfectly, and the two songs just complemented each other in this astonishingly surprising way. It doesn't matter if I liked the songs or not; this was just a fantastic mix. Well done to both of you!

Team StanMcCoeur | ClassifiedCat @garameaning

What an admirable approach to the challenge this week, so well done to both of you on that! Sometimes I felt as though one song dominated over the other at times, and that was interchangeable between the two, but overall the essentials were mixed very well.

Team YA$Pussy | Julian Jens

Definitely a commendable and very daring approach to this week as well! While I love both the songs that were mixed, there were some minor compositional discrepancies (some parts were a bit out of sync with each other) but overall this was a very good mix. Well done!

Nene's critiques


Ooh yas hunni. What an amazing week! Some of you mixed those tunes very well, but some of you failed to be true DJs.

Team Rexlanna | (𝐴𝑑𝑟𝑖𝑎̀/Josh's Tattoo (Inactive))

[/u]

Oh yas hunties werq! What an amazing mix you brought for us! I don't know why but it just works very well, and I am still pissed off that MARUV declined to go to Eurovision. Ukraine, get your shit together. Anyways, well done my babycakes, I'm proud of the two this week!

Team YASpussy | (Julian/Jens)[/u]

Hi sweeties! Not a bad attempt this week, I felt that your entries worked especially with combining the two genres. I've nothing really bad to say because I felt this was quite good. Well done!

Team RethStorm | (~Rethnas~/Lᴇꜰ)[/u]

Oh no honeys, what happened? I love Bambola but it just doesn't work with Onuka! They are just simply not on the same level and just don't go together. Unlike Give it, this song just doesn't go well with Onuka. I'm quite disappointed.

Team Ashley Scanner | (alexeh/alex(a)bg)[/u]

Oh my god YES. What an amazing combination of songs! The two songs are just absolute bops and my wig flew to Estonia to Italy and back! What an amazing week from you too, you clearly knew what you were doing! Keep up the good work slags (in a good way!)

Stan McCœur (@garameaning/ClassifiedCat)[/u]

Oof. Not a huge fan of Zola Jesus, but this combination actually worked! I don't know what it was but these actually worked quite well, although it's not my favourite. Well done!

Now if you'll excuse me I'm going back to drink my mimosas. Mwah mwah!
