Hella Wahnsinn First up, Hella Wahnsinn. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Poot: While I appreciate the fact that you chose to stick to what you like and send something that's melodic metalic, instead of the typical metal sound, I think it wasn't a very wise choice for this challenge. I feel like it lacks in comparison to other songs. Nevertheless, I still liked your song but maybe it wasn't enough. Elvira: While calling this “metal” is a bit of a stretch, I’ll allow it because I understand your intentions. However, I will not excuse the song. Quite frankly I found this boring and if you were going to go for something Celtic or Symphonic, there are lots of better choices. Donatella Versace: An OK choice, but I'm not really impressed... This actually sounds like a decent metal song, it struggles to stand out especially that far in the competition. I really liked the Celtic vibes though. Junglepu$$y: This song is beautiful, but it's not metal. I hear the distorted guitars and drums that especially turn up towards the end of the song, but there's just not enough distortion and not enough loudness for this to qualify as a metal song. And while it is beautiful and symphonic, I'm not sure that's enough for me, cause the song overall is just kind of there and also isn't the best fit for the challenge. Krampu$$y: This was beautiful in my opinion. Probably the lightest metal song of the week but I don't think that's a big issue, I personally liked it.

Fondall Kats Next up, Fondall Kats. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: This was fantastic. I didn't even know metal like this exists and I'm very glad you showed it to me. It had the best of both worlds, metal beats that slapped and beautiful traditional elements as well. This might be your best entry of the whole season. Donatella Versace: YES MA'AM. What a stunning contribution. You succeeded in submitting a GREAT metal song with interesting ethnic elements. This is a banger. Congratulations! Junglepu$$y: Whether this one counts as metal or not can also be debated, and whilst that can't be entirely ignored in my eyes, I definitely get what you were going for and I also think it just worked out really well. Overall, I think this still fits the challenge quite well overall and it definitely stands out in a very good way. Well done. Poot: I really like your song, but unlike the rest, I really struggle to see the metal elements in it. It's not a bad song nevertheless - I just don't see it that much as a metal song. Elvira: Just like Hella, calling this “metal” is a wee bit of a stretch. However, just like Hella, it certainly holds metal elements. However, beyond that, this song is the only one this week that truly left me wanting more. Congratz bitch, you’ve got your groove back.

Mathew Horrod Next up, Mathew Horrod. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Donatella Versace: This music video deserves a Grammy sweetie. It's hilarious. The song is decent, a bit safe maybe but it's 100% metal and it's what we wanted this week. Cute. Krampu$$y: I really liked this! I knew you wouldn't disappoint in this challenge. Metal songs with female vocalists can be risky but in my opinion her voice was ethereal. Very strong performance from you once again! Elvira: This was... okay. Honestly didn’t live for this but it was a decent metal song. Regardless, I still bopped my head the whole way through even if i expected a bit more from you. Junglepu$$y: This one was pretty decent. It was pretty generic as it goes for the genre its in, but I can't fault it for that necessarily. Didn't blow me away, but enjoyable enough, so not badly done at all. Poot: This was my favorite song this week! This was exactly what I was expecting to hear for this challenge, very well done my dear.

Slasher Sasha Next up, Slasher Sasha. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Poot: I know you've had a bumpy ride in this competition but I didn't see it this week. I really liked your song, and similarly to Mathew, this is what I was expecting to hear for this challenge. Great job! Donatella Versace: Pretty good. A well-produced metal song with some cute lyrics, I'm satisfied. I wouldn't say this is as risky as your previous entries though. But good job! Elvira: Plot twist, but you did well this week. I genuinely enjoyed your song a bit this week. Was it the first thing I’d think of for the genre of metal? Yes. However, the competition is a bit weak and a basic but pretty good song this week worked out for you. Congratulations. Junglepu$$y: I will give you pretty much the same critiques as I gave Mathew, whilst I enjoy the song, it didn't blow me away. However, definitely a step up from your other entries and with the competition being so close to the finish line, you've definitely saved yourself some more time with this week. Krampu$$y: This was pretty good, not necessarily my favorite metal song ever but I enjoyed it. The vocals were something special and the song sounded good, even though it was a bit messy during some parts. You surprised us this week!

Chlamydia And last but not least, Chlamydia. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Junglepu$$y: I don't know what to say. This is metal but... it's not great. I get what you were going for and it was certainly entertaining and it stood out, but unfortunately it really didn't stand out for the right reasons. I'm sorry to see you in this position after weeks of amazing entries. Krampu$$y: Well... Not gonna lie, I do think the song bops a bit. And at first I chuckled at the lyrics. But after around 30 seconds, it got boring. I appreciate you sending the "most metal" song of the week, as this is what a typical metal song sounds like to me (apart from the lyrics) but I don't think you really nailed it. After your great songs in the recent weeks, I was expecting something better from you. Donatella Versace: This was a total mess and we have no choice but to stan. Once again you bring something new to the table. The fact that you hate metal but still managed to send a unique track like this.. You always get my hopes up, and I'm never disappointed. Great job. Poot: I honestly I'm so torn with this song. On one hand, it creeps me out so much but at the same time I also weirdly enjoy this. You definitely managed to bring something different and I think that overall you did a good job for the challenge, well done. Elvira: Well... this was an experience. This certainly is not something intended to be taken seriously, and I did crack a smile while listening to this. It’s a fun single listen, but I won’t be revisiting it anytime soon.

Hella WahnsinnFor this challenge, you should've probably drawn inspiration from your drag name. I'm sorry, but you're up for extermination.
