Hey, hi, hello, my musiqué queens. Are you ready for your critiques? Tonight I'm not going to apologize. It is what it is and all I have to say before get it started is that you all ROCKED the house down and it is getting harder and harder to judge/eliminate you guys. Lots of luv.
Now, when I call your name, please step forward: Brandonator... You're safe! You may go back to the Gerusa's Illusions Lounge. Here is your critique:
Brandonator ━━ Alanis Morissette ‘’You Oughta Know’’ ━━ Brandon, ouch! You really hurt me with this song choice… You Oughta Know used to be my anthem after my last break-up once I was in a toxic relationship and my ex betrayed me in the most painful ways and situations. It’s undeniable that the A.H.S. experience is expressed between the lines in this song and Alanis vocals are simply… marvelous… I’m really proud to watch your consistency through this competition and I hope to see you keeping the measures.
*6 queens remaining on the stage...* You all represent the tops and the bottoms of the episode. Here are your critiques, in no particular order:
Lukesaur ━━ Björk ‘’5 Years’’ ━━ Hey Luke! Homogenic is such a masterpiece and so is this song. I already complimented your sense of bringing subjective lyrics to the runways and I see that tonight you’re keeping yourself on that track, which is not a bad thing cause you’re very clever when it comes to your taste in music and I almost always find myself identifying to your interpretations as if your kick is just as sophisticated as mine, lol. Despite this fact, I can see that ‘’5 years’’ progressiveness is magic and it touches the angry energy inside, but, next to the other contestants, your song choice comes as… edgy and mysterious while theirs come as... the clear and pure A.H.S.
@tswiftlover13 ━━ Kelis ‘’Caught Out There’’ ━━ YAY. First of all, I need to say that I’m a huge Kelis stan and I’m so happy this song appeared in this episode’s challenge, thank you for that tswift! This is one of your best runways since the season began and I see that you are growing each time more. The kind of hate Kelis is describing is so painful and she expresses that in such a powerful and strong way… there’s no way anyone who experienced a situation like that wouldn’t be touched. Nice choice!
boyfriend ━━ Wolf Alice ‘’Yuk Foo’’ ━━ Maya… I need to relax my throat... ‘cause I’m gagging! You really went for the kill and opened the runway with the pure essence of the A.H.S. experience (all mixed up together in one song). I still can’t believe that what I heard came from the same girl whose main single is ‘’Don’t Delete The Kisses’’, which is such a romantic and cute song. The lyrics are so powerful and explicits the rage the assignment was asking for in so many layers... great job!
ponga ━━ System Of A Down ‘’B.Y.O.B.’’ ━━ Ok. You went for a SOAD-rock vibe and it definitely has it’s credit when it comes down to the assignment based on the fact that Rock’N’Roll is mainly known for their rebellion towards the world expressed through its melody and compositions. However, lyrically, I see that this song is more about social criticism than the feeling of hate/stress itself even though Serj Tankian vocals are clearly expressing powerful/strong feelings related to the fact that the situation he is exposing is revolting.
spinfur ━━ Mothica ‘’BUZZKILL’’ ━━ Hello spinfur! First of all, I need to confess something to you: I guess I’m a Mothica stanner and I didn’t know that until listening to your song choice on tonight's runway and remember that not only BUZZKILL but also VICES are such amazing songs. Although the song is not giving me rage/powerful high notes, lyrically speaking, it’s amazing and made me feel that she is REALLY pissed off with someone (and this person needs to take care of itself otherwise Mothica is going in for the (buzz)kill). The femme fatale vibe is serving the A.H.S. fantasy of a threat and for that, you’re finally back on top...
mathboy9 ━━ Whitney Houston ‘’It's Not Right But It's Okay (Thunderpuss Mix)’’ ━━ Hey Sasha Velou-, ops, Hey mathboy9! This song is such a classic gay anthem and there’s no way Gerusa wouldn’t love it. BUT, based on tonight’s runway, I don’t see this choice working even though I understand that she is clearly unhappy about being cheated on and she is expressing this awful feeling through her music… The powerful feeling of hate, anger and even revenge is not being brought to light as much as the feeling of resilience and overcoming a hard time...
Based on that, I've made some decisions: #spinfur... You're safe and you may join the other girls...
