Shiva Kindett  First up, Shiva Kindett. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Claudia: While I didn't really like this song, I could definitely see why it worked for the clown theme, I think it was a pretty well considered connection. It didn't necessarily COMPLETELY match up, but generally I think this connected to the creepy clown theme pretty well - the childish elements of the music itself mixed with the more humourful, clown-like aspects of the lyrics. Like I said, I didn't really like the song itself, but overall I don't think you did a bad job at all. Junglepu$$y: This... was a choice. I like Ashnikko's music in general, but this song doesn't hit at all, and the relation to clowns is surface-level, I'd say. Krampu$$y: I think you could've tried a bit harder than this doll. The song is decent and it fits the clown theme. But is it a great song? No. Could it have been creepier? Yes. Overall this is okay but after last week I hoped you'd continue pushing harder and harder, this is just a safe, boring choice. Angelyne: love ashnikko but this? meh. clowns were existent in the video, i'll give you that, but i wanted nightmares from this week's songs and your entry was only a nightmare because of the messy vocal mixing. i wanted more. |

EJQL8  Next up, EJQL8. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Angelyne: this was creepy. it was chaotic. it made want to vomit. it's exactly what i wanted to see this week. in a weird way, this is a bop. i love it. Krampu$$y: After last week's slayage, I'm happy to see that you delivered another good entry. This is definitely not something I'd listen to in my free time but it does kind of bop. While the video isn't explicitly clown themed, I definitely see clown elements in it. There could have been more clowns if it were up to me, but this song is probably the weirdest of the week, so that balances it out. Claudia: Well you definitely nailed the assignment this week, there's no questioning that in my eyes. This particular song sounded like it was made specifically with this task and HMH in mind - a creepy clown song with banger beats. I don't really enjoy the song at all until the 2:40 mark when it picks up a bit, and so it's far from a perfect entry for me, but it does just fit the theme so well I have to commend you for that. Junglepu$$y: This was probably one of the best fits for the challenge assigned this week, and the song itself is really quite good too. You're on a roll it seems, keep it up! |

Tess-Ticular Torshun  Next up, Tess-Ticular Torshun. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: I'm sorry, I have to laugh. This was the definition of overselling. The lyrics were NOT as deep as you made them sound like. Yes some sort of connection to the theme was there, with the clown makeup and that one line in the lyrics, but that's where it ends, you didn't have to make it sound like this song was a psychological evaluation of clowns and/or murderers. The song itself was not great either, generally I'm not a big fan of this genre of music, so even if the clown connection was deeper, I wouldn't have rated it very high. Angelyne: i'm all for a good pc bop but this just lacked the clown vibe i was looking for. i wouldn't want to mess with her, that is clear, but it's just not clowny enough. nice try but no. Claudia: I kinda like this song but I just didn't get clown from it at all, other than the word clown literally being in the title. There was definitely a creepy vibe to it but the connection to creepy clowns specifically feels vague and forced, I didn't really get the clown as much as other queens gave me sadly. You kinda were on some clown shit picking this song and trying to sell it as a passable entry. Junglepu$$y: Well what can I say except I like this song a lot. Probably my favourite of the week musically, however the connection...is not there. The only thing that relates to the challenge assigned is the title, and that's about it. |

Gonorrhea Diarrhoea  Next up, Gonorrhea Diarrhoea. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Claudia: This was an interesting approach to the task, and I think it worked in your favour. The song is definitely unsettling, but I quite liked it at the same time, and I appreciated the considered connection - I may not have necessarily been entirely sold by it (it gave me more sad clown than creepy clown in places), but I definitely think it worked quite well as a whole. You stepped up after last week with this one and proved that you deserve to still be here. Junglepu$$y: This was lovely, which is something I didn't really expect this week, but it just works really well. Good job! Krampu$$y: This was a great execution of the theme, it was creative while still fitting. The song itself wasn't necessarily my cup of tea, as I wasn't loving the singer's voices, but overall this is definitely one of the best entries of the week and I appreciate you for sending this. Angelyne:  loved the connection to the challenge, it was really deep and emotional. and the song was so unique, i was living while she was internally dying. so poetic. |

Sis Anne Desit  Next up, Sis Anne Desit. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: Every week you present us with outside-the-box concepts that really showcase how original you are and so far, you've done very well in this competition. But this week, I'm afraid that I'm not buying it. I wanted actual clowns, not some classical piece whose backstory vaguely resembles the story of 2016's clown sightings. I appreciate you trying to find paths to the challenge that are less traveled but this time you got lost in the woods. It would've served you better to just stick to a more conventional approach and serve us an actual clown or two, because you really bit off more than you could chew with this. Junglepu$$y: I have been your biggest fan through this competition, so I am shocked and appalled, quite frankly. What were you thinking? ...No further comments. Angelyne: well, i love classical music. this piece is very avant garde very art very dada. but honestly, you made me feel illiterate when i read your explanation. i ended up understanding what you were selling us and it's certainly interesting, but i just feel confused. this does not fit the challenge, as great as the song is. would've liked to see more clowns xx Claudia: I know you love a good essay doll and week after week I love reading them to see what kind of unique and interesting take you give us next. This certainly was another bold, out of the box take, and I was actively trying to make all of these pieces fit for you. In the end, I actually think they kinda did. It's DEFINITELY a marmite pick, and maybe you reached slightly too far this time, but I can definitely see that you put a lot of thought into what you were sending - I don't think that this was just a song that you picked because you thought we'd love it and then you twisted things to make it fit. The parallels between the history of this piece and the story of the 2016 clown craze was really interesting and I think it actually worked well within the context of this week. It's definitely not as solid and well-grounded as some of your previous entries, but it was exciting, engaging, and I appreciated it. |

Ordgie  Next up, Ordgie. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Junglepu$$y: This was a great fit for the challenge, the song is also not bad, really. Well done! Claudia: You've probably been one of the most consistent queens this season so far, and this week was no different. I got the creepy and I got the clown from this, and as a song it was probably one of my favourites of the week. I wasn't crazy for it, and while there were creepy elements and there were clown-like elements, I'm not sure it was necessarily giving me those two components together combined, in a similar way to Miss Gonorrhea. That being said, another very solid effort from you doll, good job. Angelyne: this was very depressing but in a good way? makes me rethink my life... eek, let's not. once again, you've proven that you're a force to be reckoned with and you keep impressing me. we love to see it! Krampu$$y: Once again, you've sent a good entry. It's maybe a bit similar to Gonorrhea's entry, but it's still a great execution of the challenge and the song is lovely too. Slightly boring, but still lovely. I hope you'll keep your streak up, instead of stumbling like other frontrunners. |

Fuhlei Sheeo  And finally, Fuhlei Sheeo. Let's hear what the judges have to say about your floorshow. Krampu$$y: After spending three weeks in the bottom, you've sent a good entry this week, I could not believe it. While it's not my favourite sonically, as I wouldn't put it on my playlist, it's still a decent song and its meaning was an original interpretation of the challenge. A big improvement to the last weeks, although it's still not entirely there, if you know what I mean. Angelyne: i really enjoyed this. the lyrics are dark and talk about an important issue in today's society. and they connected to the theme. AND the song was a bop. no complaints from me, i stan. Claudia: I feel like I've been waiting for you to really break through in this competition, and this week you did JUST THAT. This song SLAPPED, easily my favourite song of the week, and I think it captured the essence of creepy clown really well, if not the best of the week as well. There was a deeper meaning behind it which was powerful and effective, but also really nailed the task. Excellent job this week my dear, PLEASE keep it up and you will become a force to be reckoned with I'm sure of it. Junglepu$$y: This song was good, it's nothing spectacular, but it's good, and it fits the challenge as well. Well done! |
