Dookie  First up, Dookie. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Angelyne: Hey bitch. This song…. girl.  You took a very creative route with picking such a melancholic song for the dog… but it was so right. This caused me severe emotional damage which is what i WANT from this competition. Keep it up. Krampu$$y: This was a really beautiful song. It flows really nicely, it's emotional and despite having rather depressing lyrics, I think you're representing the Dog really well. Fantastic job, keep it up! Claudia: Oh this was excellent doll, you completely nailed this week. Choosing the route that you went down could've gone wrong but you executed this REALLY well, to the extent that literally my only gripe with this song/entry is that I wasn't particularly keen on the vocal. Everything else was fantastic, a beautiful song, that completely fit the zodiac animal you were given. Great job! Junglepu$$y: This week you picked an absolutely gorgeous song that fit the category you were assigned quite well. There's almost nothing I could criticise about your choice. Well done! |

Ordgie  Next up, Ordgie. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: After your strong debut last week, I was curious to see if you could deliver again and well... you did! You snapped again with a great song that fits the theme, I can really see the Horse in the lyrics. The only minor criticism I have, is that I was waiting for a bigger post-chorus and was a bit let down by what I got, but it's still a good song. Junglepu$$y: This. Now this was good. While I wasn't in love with your song last week, this time I honestly am. Everything's lined up really well here, the song is good, and it fits to the assigned category perfectly. It is not my favourite of the week, but it is still a great entry. Angelyne: another day, another slay. this is yet another serve. the song is really strong, the connection to the challenge is there. two weeks in and you’re already THE one to watch, great job. Claudia: I loved this song, so mysterious yet gorgeous, perfect for HMH. I wasn't particularly sold on the connection though? I could see what you were going for in places but personally I wasn't really getting the connection to the Horse as closely as you were trying to sell it. I appreciated the touch of the artist also being a Horse, and sonically I got the energetic, active aspect you were trying to sell, but I was left a little confused in places. |

Gonorrhea Diarrhoea  Next up, Gonorrhea Diarrhoea. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Junglepu$$y: Did you not take any notes from Mr. Master's untimely extermination last week? A very odd choice to go with. I get it, we all love Lady Gaga, and while Lady Gaga is batshit crazy, we're expecting a lot more batshit crazy than Gaga, especially when it comes to this song. I think you missed the mark here big time by focusing on Gaga over your assigned challenge. Claudia: Personally I don't mind that you went with a popular artist, in fact I appreciate that you worked Gaga's identity and presence into your selling of the theme. However, it does feel like most of your justification for picking this song was Gaga's presence, and there were a lot of Gaga songs that could've interchangeably done the same job that this (subpar for Gaga) song did. It was all okay, but I feel like a lot more could've been done with the Ox and this was just a little disappointing. Krampu$$y: After Mr. Master's flop last week I hoped that the other monsters would learn from it but I see that I hoped for too much. I love Lady Gaga but I don't really want to see her (or any other mainstream pop artist) in this competition. It's great that you love her too and have a connection to this song but it just seems like you took the easy way out instead of putting in an effort to find something more original. I agree with Claudia that you seemed a bit too focused on Gaga rather than the song itself, which by the way isn't among my favorite Gaga songs either. I can see elements of the Ox in the lyrics, such as being independent and stubborn, so this entry wasn't a complete disaster, but yeah. Angelyne: This does not warrant a comment from me thank you. |

Queen of Mean  Next up, Queen of Mean. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Claudia: You've definitely improved on last week and offered us a very nice piece here. A 9 minute instrumental is hard to pull off in a week that heavily relies on the meaning behind the song, but it's a really lovely song and I think the message came through quite nicely. Unfortunately it happens to be in a week where another queen did the exact same concept, but in a more difficult way, and executed it a lot better, and so you were just kinda overshadowed. I don't think you did a BAD job by any stretch, but your competition kinda ate you up sadly. Junglepu$$y: Where do I begin with this? When the challenge was Chinese zodiac signs, we were not expecting you to send an actual Chinese song (or in this case, Chinese-inspired song). It seems like a very cheap attempt at trying to fit to the challenge at the most superficial level. We expect you to make deeper connections between the musical and/or lyrical aspects of a song and the challenge, and I'm just not seeing it here. It honestly reads to me as if you Google-searched for "Chinese instrumental" and sent the first song you found. It's not a bad song, I just don't think you've quite got how this works yet, and that's okay, there still may be more weeks for you to perfect that, but right now, I'm not impressed. Angelyne: girl……. what is this?? like yes, this fits the sign you got. but this absolutely flopped. this seems totally uninspired, unoriginal and does not fit HMH at all, this definitely does not belong here at all. Krampu$$y: You have me torn this week. I don't dislike your entry as much as some of the other judges do, in my opinion it's a nice instrumental and it fits the theme. But in this week, it faded into the background. You had the same concept as Sis Anne, I don't know whether that was a coincidence or whether you got inspired by her, but either way, she just did a better job with it. Maybe if your entry was the only instrumental of the week it would've stood out more, as it's not a very remarkable instrumental on its own, but the presence of an instrumental that was excellent did you no favors. Your entry was cute but cute isn't enough. |

Sangría  Next up, Sangría. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Angelyne: to be honest, this just did not do anything for me. i see where you were going with this, but it just did not have an effect on me. it was too safe and just didn’t bring it as much as some of the other queens, im sorry. Krampu$$y: Honestly, I think when it comes to the connection to the signs, your entry fits the least out of anyone's this week. I can see why you chose it and it's not completely unrelated to the Rat I guess but I don't 100% agree with your interpretation of the lyrics and therefore don't consider the connection to be very strong, it felt a bit like a stretch. Additionally, your song was rather forgettable. Not terrible, but just meh. Junglepu$$y: This song was good, but that's about it. I'm quite torn on how well it actually connects to the challenge and sign you were assigned, and don't know if I'm reading into it wrong when I feel like this doesn't fit that well at all. Based on the song alone I don't think you should be where you are, but for this challenge I'm just not seeing it. Claudia: I enjoyed this actually, it was a really nice song and I think the way you connected it to the theme was clever, you tied it with the Rat in multiple different ways which I really appreciated. The song itself may have got a little lost in the pack, but I see a lot of potential in you based on your last two entries and I'm excited to see what you do in future weeks. |

Sis Anne Desit  Next up, Sis Anne Desit. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: It's only Week 2 but you already kinda won me over. Just like last week, this is a really original, outside-the-box concept delivered by an amazing composition. As a Rabbit myself, I knew that you had a difficult task this week but you managed to nail it. I can't wait to see what you'll come up with next! Angelyne: this is amazing period. the execution was flawless, because this really did slay your competition. 10 minutes is a little excessive for my taste, but i didn’t mind because this was legitness. Claudia: Girl you really need to calm down and give the rest of these girls some room to breathe because once again this was exceptional. A nearly 10 minute instrumental song could've very easily gone wrong and yet the way it kept switching up always kept me engaged, and you really clearly considered the zodiac animal you were given and made this work perfectly without any words. If you can keep this level of serve up throughout the season you could be untouchable doll, simply brilliant. Junglepu$$y: The fact that you didn't win last week doesn't even matter because this is utter perfection. Listening to your entry this week I am simply blown away just by how good this song is. And both weeks thus far you've managed to take risks that have paid off 110% by connecting entries that probably feel like they shouldn't connect, to the challenges perfectly. I just want you to know how impressed I have been by your run so far and I desperately hope you keep this up. |

EJQL8  Last but not least, EJQL8. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Claudia: I really wanted to enjoy this because I appreciated the outside-of-the-box take here but sadly I think this just fell a little flat for me. Lyrically I guess it worked but I was just a little bored by the package. Pigs are supposed to be diligent and devoted and I think a song for the pig just needed more energy and power behind it to really reflect that. It's a shame because I could really see where you were going with it but it just didn't quite do it for me this week. Junglepu$$y: Not the worst song, not the worst connection, but it's all just a bit... bland. I kept waiting for the song to go more places and then it just didn't. You did well enough with connecting it to your assigned sign, but that's about it. Krampu$$y: Pigs really are amazing, at least based on their description, and I think you mostly captured the essence in your lyrics, they gave me Pig vibes. Unfortunately, your song was rather mediocre. I thought it was repetitive and didn't really go anywhere. It just didn't impress me. Angelyne: hola girl. so, the thing is…. i think you got the challenge right, with your sign and everything…. however, everything else is missing. The song itself is too basic for this competition in my opinion, and the fact that i’ve heard this song so many times in commercials, social medias and shows kind of distracted it from the challenge at hand, which is not good in this competition girl. |
