Julia Lux' CritiquesAlêss Brasil Aless Your entry of this week really fits to the theme. It has a thematic relation to candy and also sounds really sweet, plus it's an original and risky choice in my opinion. Nevertheless I don't like the sound of the song, it sounds rather annoying to me and overall I'm not a big fan. I do appreciate your effort though and you served a better entry than last week. Dinah Lone Dimitris This is one of my favorites of the week. I can't tell if this choice is that original as I believe to have seen the song in some contests before, but sound wise it's one of the best and I love that you found a fitting entry without going too obvious. This doesn't scream candy to me and yet it sounds really sweet and that was what I personally was looking for this week. If your entry was food, it would probably be a strawberry cheesecake. Sadly my fellow judges didn't necessarily agree with me but you will get their critiques soon I assume. Junia Hallow Apostolis Oh sweetie, what were you thinking? This is entry must be the most unoriginal song choice I have generally seen since the disco week and after you got mixed critiques last week I fail to understand how you expected this to save you. By now you should've realized that entries like this are a guaranteed ticket to the bottom so to me this was one of the worst choices you could've made. You sent some original songs in the past so this fall from grace really disappoints me. It's the top 4 now so extremely lazy choices like this just can't happen anymore and don't tell me you didn't expect that. You should start praying because I really don't know if we will see you again next week. Jenea Orangé Jens This entry was good. I don't have a lot of critiques to be fair, it fit to the theme, it sounded nice, it wasn't unoriginal, overall a decent entry I guess. I hope you can still step your game up a little since the competition has almost come to an end and so far you usually slid by. You have gotten far but next week you have to give everything you got in order to stand a chance because despite your good efforts, you still haven't won a challenge and that makes me concerned. But however, this week you sent something good and you can be happy with yourself in my opinion.

Kathleen Slater's critiques
Good evening slags.Aless BrasilThis really worked with the theme. I didn't necessarily enjoy the song all that much, but the song was cute and sweet, while also being sweet-themed, and was original. You've really stepped up from last round and shown exactly why you deserve to be here, and while I wasn't completely blown away, this was a really solid effort.Dinah LoveThis was... fine? But I think it says a lot that in a round of four I completely forgot what you sent. The song itself, as I said, is fine. Maybe not the greatest fit to sweetness this round, but I don't think it was glaringly bad either. I don't really have a lot to say about it, it was just... there.Jenea OrangéAnother really solid effort from you, you've consistently offered solid entries but I wasn't wowed by it. I did, however, like that it stood out in comparison to the rest of the entries this round, and it was a bit of a risk, which I really appreciate. Junia HallowOh honey. I literally gave y'all one piece of advice: please don't send a song called Sugar Rush. It's cheap, it's predictable, and it's boring. And you sent the most predictable song called Sugar Rush, that other than the title (and maybe some of the lyrics in the chorus), isn't all that sweet. A huge disappointment when you've actually done really well in the rounds leading up to this. We've been asking for originality the entire time and it feels as though you're falling behind now in terms of pretty much everything we're looking for in an entry.

Matter Teresa's Critiques!Final 4! Congrats on making it this far, but I'm afraid that some of you don't deserve to be here after this week.
Jenea Orange Jens A song that was clever in its selection. You took me back to the 90s whilst going via sweet land. It was well thought out and an original choice. A bop also if I may add. Good job Jenea!
Dinah Lone Dimitris Oh my oh my oh my Dinah. Do I personally like this song? Yes I do. Do I think it is sweet? no. Cute yes, but cute =/= sweet in my opinion. I feel like you could've done for something else here because this just doesn't fit the theme for me that well. Your track record seems to me to be like a roller coaster, but honestly I do question many of the choices you have made, this one included.
Junia Hallow Apostolis O wow, we love a song that literally has the title 'Sugar Rush' and thus relating to the theme but simultaneously nit sounding sweet at all. This seems like a car that flipped over a sweets store, grabbed some lollipops and then crushed a small child as it landed. It was THAT BAD JUNIA. I was expecting so more from you but you served up this instead. And don't complain that you didn't like the category, you need to be adaptable and you clearly aren't.
Aless Brasil Aless Finally you Miss Aless Brasil. I personally don't like how this sounds but I think that it seems the best fitting I suppose? idk something was off for me imo about this entry so I couldn't like it as much as others have, but you fit the theme so no complaints, but something was off.

Your take on the sugar rush challenge didn't taste so sweet.
Junia Hallow
Girl your sugar rush was more like a toilet flush.
