Gonorrhea Diarrhoea  First up, Gonorrhea Diarrhoea. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Angelyne: i’m…. i’m….. i love this. everything about it was just IT for me. the vintage vibes were truly it for me, the interpretation of the challenge was absolutely it and just overall AMAZING. this gave me a lil siouxie sioux vibe, who is a queen, my absolute idol, so i just had to stan. this truly showed me that it wasn’t a mistake to bring you back. very good job. Junglepu$$y: A bit of a different take musically, but a very good one at that. I thoroughly enjoyed everything about this. Good job, nice to see you back in the game. Claudia: This was a really lovely pick, a really pleasant song that captured the whole idea of Día de los muertos really well. It wasn't one of the most stand-out songs of the week, but it was just really cute and really nice to listen to, I enjoyed it, and I think the more optimistic sound to it really worked in your favour. Good job! Krampu$$y: This was a pretty good entry. The verses were stronger than the chorus I would say, as the latter felt a bit boring, while I bopped to the verses. Overall a solid song though! |

Fuhlei Sheeo  Next up, Fuhlei Sheeo. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: You decided to send the only English song of the week and personally I'm not amazed by the decision. I try to be a tolerant human being that accepts songs that differ from the norm and I could have forgiven the language if the song still managed to nail the theme but it didn't possess the Día de los muertos vibe that I was looking for. It was just a song about death. To me, there's a difference between a song for the day of the dead and a song that's just relating to death. I wanted you to mentally transport me to Mexico and that simply didn't happen. Besides the lack of latin flavor, the song was nice but kind of forgettable. Claudia: I don't mind that this is in English actually, I think, in theory, you could've fulfilled the task quite well with an English-language song (or any other language really) and in that way you could've stood out. However, this really did lack any real Día de los muertos connection for me sadly. I could see what you were going for, but the connection just felt lacking in comparison to the other entries, and I don't think it helped that the song wasn't all that either. It wasn't terrible, but not great. Angelyne: Mmmm… i don’t know what to say. I didn’t hate this, but to be fair, I didn’t really remember this at all. I’ve listened to this a few times, and it had absolutely no impact on me whatsoever. It’s alright, but in a strong week like this, it just wont do. Junglepu$$y: Well... What can I say except, you tried? This was a risky choice and I don't think that risk paid off for you here. I didn't dislike this song but I think there's really just close to no connection to Día de los muertos here. |

Dookie  Next up, Dookie. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Claudia: I really enjoyed the song, it's the kind of thing I really like a lot of the time and this one was no different. Sadly though I just don't think this really worked for this challenge in terms of the real meaning. It's pretty vague and there are places where I think maybe it could work, but other queens this week made a much clearer connection while still maintaining a solid quality of song, whereas this one just fell short on the connection side for me. Angelyne: Ehhhh… mmmm…..  ?? ….. no. the song is good, don’t get me wrong, but you’re trying to put a square in a circle shaped hole here, if you get what i mean. everyone has their own interpretation of things, but yours was just really out of the blue for me. you’re trying to sell me a toyota yaris for the price of a pink corvette, and i’m not buying it. Krampu$$y: This song was enjoyable, although it didn't exactly blow me away. For me the downfall was the fact that I disagree about the meaning of the lyrics. I understand your point of view but to me the lyrics are very open for interpretation and I didn't get a clear-cut death meaning from them. Compared to the others, I'd say you had the weakest execution of the death theme. Junglepu$$y: I don't know what these judges are on honestly. I get that it could be a bit of an ill fit for the category, but I can still get where you were going with it and the song itself is great. But let me backtrack and say I still think there's at least some merit to the other judges' critiques as well here. |

Tess-Ticular Torshun  Next up, Tess-Ticular Torshun. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: Normally this is not my preferred style of music but your entry was an absolute whopper. This is something I would definitely like to hear during a Día de los muertos celebration and I'm sure I would pull out one or two dance moves for it. You've started the season slow and flew a bit under the radar for a while but now you're finally coming out of the gate, keep it up! Junglepu$$y: This one's a banger, honestly. It really captures what I think of when I think of Día de los muertos. Not my absolute favourite of the week musically speaking, but taking everything into account, you did a wonderful job this week. Claudia: I think you really nailed the task this week and gave us your strongest performance to date. You really captured the essence of Día de los muertos perfectly and gave me everything I was looking for from the week. I can't say I was really in love with the song, but it was nice enough and definitely got the job done - maybe better than anyone else this week in terms of meeting the challenge requirements. I hope this is your breakthrough and that you can keep it up, I'm excited to see where you go from here! Angelyne: girl this was stunning. head to toe. this is so quintessential what i thought this challenge would be like, but it had a nice twist to it. at first, i thought this was just going to be middle of the pack, but the change midway through the song…. i was gagged, i was gooped, i was all of the above. very nice girl. |

Shiva Kindett  Next up, Shiva Kindett. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Junglepu$$y: Unfortunately, this was not one of my favourites of the week. It fits the theme well enough, but musically speaking I just found this one... boring. I really need you to up your game, I know you can do better. Krampu$$y: Girl idk what's been happening to you these past 3 weeks but this is not it. It's a cute song, sure, but overall rather unmemorable. You got absolutely overshadowed by your competition this week. I know you can do better than you've done recently babe so I need you to step it up and return to sending strong songs like you did in Week 1. Claudia: I thought this was a very cute entry and I think it worked for this challenge. As an entry it didn't necessarily stand out amongst the strong competition this week, and it may have been a little uninspiring, but I did still enjoy this for what it was - a pretty solid effort for me personally. Angelyne: this wasn’t really that bad… however, this week is super strong in my opinion, and this unfortunately just didn’t rise to the occasion. there are a lot of similar songs to your song this week, but they were just better then what you presented, sorry queen. |

Sangría  And finally, Sangría. Let's hear what the judges had to say about your floorshow. Junglepu$$y: This was really really good. I knew you'd ace this challenge, so I'm not at all surprised to see you up here this week. Well done! Angelyne: this is it. this was so cute, but so haunting at the same time. you nailed this challenge and i really liked this. this truly was a good week for you. Claudia: Oh girl absolutely this. This was absolute perfection from start to finish, I absolutely adore this song and I love the connection you made with it - it was just so powerful. I don't have much else to say but you really SNAPPED I absolutely adored it, well done doll. Krampu$$y: You've had a rocky journey so far and sending the by far most known song of the week could've easily landed you in the bottom... but it just worked! Personally I wasn't familiar with this song before you sent it but it sounds lovely to me and I definitely get the impression that this is basically an anthem in Latin culture. I knew this challenge would be up your alley and I'm glad you delivered! |
