First to receive their critiques is Mel A Tonin ( Matt). Andrélle:Honestly, you, Phaedra, and Penny pretty much sent the same song this week (note to Phaedra: Birdy has like 10 songs that are so much better). I ranked all of them the same because none of them really did anything for me, but oh well, seems like the rest of the judges enjoyed yours less. It's not necessarily a bad song, I just found it a bit.. boring. I absolutely loved your choice last week, and it was actually my favourite, so I know you can do better than this. Nicki:Oh Melanie you can do so much better. Actually this song is the sonic definition of mid. If you get out alive I hope you'll serve something less generic, I know what you're capable of. Marina Satti:To be very honest, your song wasn’t half as bad as some others, but indeed it was kind of forgetful. Your country being UK, also made me worried about the choice. I know it can be tough, but still it could’ve been better. This week was a top tier quality, and I get how lost you could get into it, I just hope you will be able to show more of yourself and give us something more memorable. Jojo Siwa:I can relate to being a girlie from a part of a much larger country that is often overlooked. there's not much poppin over in Nebraska. However, with that said, this song gave me literally nothing. This was a single scoop of low sugar vanilla ice cream in song form. She's pretty, I guess. JuPaul:I know that England isn't the capital of flavor but this just seemed a little too bland for me. It's a fine song, it's just rather forgettable and in a strong week like this, I would have loved something more intriguing.

Secondly, we have Kuchi-San ( david). Nicki:NOW we're really talking. I loved the instrumental parts, the vocals, the harmonies... Everything. This could belong to a Disney movie soundtrack. I need my flight ticket to Hanoi, it's an emergency. Huge congratulations! JuPaul:This was SO good. I'm a sucker for songs who combine traditional folk elements and electronic sounds and this is such a whopper. Absolutely love the ending, that drop hits so hard. Very proud of you this week! Marina Satti: I have just one word for you this week.. MAGNIFICENT. This is probably the best thing I’ve heard in a while it is just so so amazing, I have zero bad critiques to give and you managed to tell a story, with what you had to work with and it paid off.. this has been your best week, and you’ve raised the bar so high for me.. you better keep it up!! Jojo Siwa:There are two parts of this track: the traditional Vietnamese and the modern EDM beats. I personally found the EDM beats a bit tacky and stale, but bitch, the rest of that track was incredible. I, personally, ate it the fuck up. She was serving CULTURE. Andrélle:I'm gonna be honest, I didn't enjoy this as much as the others did. It's not a bad song at all, in fact the verses and the folk instrumental are amazing, but the drop just didn't do it for me.

Now it's time for Dee Ablah ( Argüello). Jojo Siwa:Oh bitch the rent was DUEEEE. Not only did you manage to send an absolutely incredible song, but you did so from one of the smallest industries out of everyone this week. Keep this up, Ms. Dee Ablah, and the rest of these bitches will soon find themselves exorcized to hell. Andrélle:This was absolutely gorgeous, and I love how you connected to the message. I don't really have anything more to say - fantastic choice overall. Great job! JuPaul:Your entry this week was so beautiful! I thought you might struggle after your reaction to this challenge but this was a serve! The instrumentation and the vocals were just gorgeous, so don't sell yourself short x Nicki:Wow. Fantástico. You gave us exactly what I wanted to hear from Costa Rica. Great gowns, beautiful gowns. Atmospheric, dreamy, flabbergasting. Thank you for this wonderful piece of music. Amen. Marina Satti:A very good choice and given the fact you had the least potential due to the country to choose from.. oh honey, you managed to take us out of this world with this song. It’s so magical, you should be proud of yourself.

Next we have Lady Westminster ( Queen of Mean (Inactive)). JuPaul:I mean... I love the message and Bahar is an icon but overall this was kinda giving Megami's "protect queer art" talent show performance. Like, if I take away the message, it's a pretty flat song that just doesn't really give any energy. I fear I need the beats to pop as well and not just the meaning. Marina Satti:I like how you tried to incorporate more than one languages but no matter what the song was dull and empty. It did nothing unfortunately. You need to step it up, and this shows of how strong the week is, cause the others are just gonna eat you alive Andrélle:Speaking of boring, this went nowhere, I'm sorry. I appreciate the multicultural aspect and how it connects to the city of Freiburg, but as a song, it was just really... ,meh. Nicki:Chile that song was so flat. Absolutely nothing grabbed my attention. German music sometimes sounds good but this was very unpleasant to listen to. Sorry Miss Lady, that's a huge miss for me. Jojo Siwa: I personally didn't mind this, but I do agree with my fellow judges that this song simply failed to go anywhere. It was exceptionally one note and failed to keep my tiktokified brain engaged for more than 10 seconds. I wanted to like it, really, but I found staring at the ceiling much more interesting than this.

And lastly, Daremyth ( Aglan). Nicki:Oh. I wasn't a huge fan of this honestly. BUT, you definitely served originality and this is a remarkable effort. Good job! Jojo Siwa:Another example of a queen waking up this week and choosing CULTURE. I thought this was a really fun entry, and it looked like they were having the best time doing... whatever it was they were doing in that forest. I think i'd like to join them. Andrélle:Yasss rudemption! What a great choice, I absolutely ate this up—such an upgrade from whatever last week was! Loved the folk elements and I just thought it was really cool overall! Keep it up! JuPaul:This was very nice! Folk music is usually interesting and this was one of those times, it didn't necessarily re-invent the wheel in terms of songs I heard in my life but it was really good and definitely much better than last week, so keep up the momentum! Marina Satti:This week was amazing for you.. the song choice was just amazing, and it describes you to the fullest. I’m obsessed with the song and I love this vibe. You went from one of the worst last week, to absolutely obliterating this week. You need to keep up this good work congratulations.

EPISODE 2 RESULTS • SING-OFF
Mel A Tonin... Lady Westminster... Two queens stand before me. This is the last chance for you to impress me and save yourself from elimination. Let's take a listen to your songs. Mel A ToninM83 • "Midnight City"Lady WestministerGülsen • "BAL"Ladies, I've made my decision. You both sent catchy bops but I was able to make a decision... Mel A Tonin, shantay you stay. You better make next week count!
Lady Westminster, it seems you were truly living your Liz Truss fantasy: entering, flopping, not being chosen to stay by the voters. I quite liked your sing-off entry but I fear it wasn't enough. Now, I'm sorry to say but... sashay away.
