MADAME SHEILA'S CRITIQUES
Some of you served bops... but some of you served flops.
Weedy Williams
Weedy, as much as I really like this song personally, I think it fell a bit flat looking at your other competitors. What we are looking for is an entry that meant a lot in the first season, and I think you could’ve chosen a way better song.
Shemalena Gomez
YES! I love this-what a way to start the week Shemalena! The song bring so many emotions to me each time I listen to it, you surely shined with this pick! Good luck!
Ana Dur Bragh Quinn
I… honestly don’t know what to say to say Ana. I mean yes, it is a bop but I echo the things I said to Weedy, you could’ve served us with a better song. I am a little disappointed I must say.
Anna Mae Rosé
This song is very catchy, but it still haunts me thank you Daniel
If I am right you are a fun queen, so you couldn’t have made a better choice. Can’t wait to see more of your songs Anna!
Andrélle
Hello Andrélle! This DEFINITELY shines a lot in this bunch. The song is just so mesmerizing (at least to me). Looking at your fellow team mates, you and Shemalena have the best songs I must say. I can see you going all the way up in the competition, good luck!
Terra Dactyl
Not a good way to start Terra. I expected much from you, when the expectations are high from the first week already. In a huge variety of songs to pick from, I think you’d do a better job at choosing another song. This song has it’s own ways to be great, but to impress the judges you needed a lot more I must say.
Whew, it was so great to help Daniel and my fellow judges this week, thank you so much for this opportunity! Bitches, this is not the last of me yet. See you in AS1 xoxo (if this flop gets casted lol! X)

 Valérie's critiques.
Well, it was a nice week to start with, congratulations girls.
Firstly going to start my critiques with a small part adressed to the Season 2 team:
Season 2 team
So yeah, you're all safe, but let's not lie, I feel kinda disappointed by
some of your entry choices this week.
You've had more songs to choose from compared to the S1 team,
yet you decided to go with 3 songs from Juliapeño and 2 from Jessica.
And on this set of songs, there were 2 of them that participated on the final round.
•••••
Concerning the team Andrélle, well, here's what I have to say about your songs:
Weedy Williams
I must say that you have started your run quite great, you (and your team overall) showed me what was the
first season of DSR with your song choices. That one thing I would say, is that I'm not a fan of your song,
and you have lost some points over there. Hope you'll continue like that.
Shemalena Gomez
Girl, congratulations for your song choice, however, in terms of originality, it's not really that,
you choosed a song sent by Lefteriana, the same as Ana Quinn, I also feel like that Saturn was a pretty safe choice,
even if it represent well this season. Along with that you picked a challenge winner, in terms of originality, you plopped.
Ana Quinn
The other queen that picked a song sent by Lefteriana... and sadly you didn't picked the best one,
you even managed to pick one of her worst entries during her participation.
Ok that song was respecting
the theme of Week 1 in Season 1 (being cheap) but here, being cheap is not good, quite disappointed by you.
Anna Mae Rosé
I have a question, do you have some affinities with Jenea ? Because I don't get why would you send that song again.
It contains everything I dislike. Overall, it contains everything that I just said to Ana Quinn, however, unlike you,
you do not have any excuses since your song was supposed to reflect a summer bop, I feel like listening to a cheap summer song.
Andrélle
Firstly, congratulations on winning the mini-challenge and on leading well your team.
Secondly, great choice, Myrkur has it's own style and this instrumental piece refletcs all of it.
However, I have a small thing against it since it was sent by Dinah in the final week, and it kinda costed you points for that.
Terra Dactyl
When I listened to your song, I felt like a dinosaur, again that song was good for the week it was sent in,
but again, for this week, it does not show the best of that week in question.
Also seeing that someone in your group already choosed a song sent by Jenea costed you points.
•••••
Keep up the good songs, girls! |

 Kathleen's CritiquesGood afternoon slags! It's amazing to be back, although I wish it was in better circumstances. While this was a great first week, I don't think the right team is here and in danger. I think the team dynamic and the way you chose your entries was brilliant and definitely something to keep working with in the future, you were really unfortunate to lose this week and I think it could've gone either way. That said, you were definitely not perfect, and there are definitely some things I think you can improve on.ANA DUR BRAGH QUINN
I understand that season 1 had limited choices, and that what your team tried to achieve somewhat restricted your choices. But is this really the best cheap song you could've chosen? It was ironically in danger in week 1 originally, and while I appreciate that maybe you were trying to go for a more out of the box entry, this didn't work for me. | ANDRÉLLE
This was a brilliant choice. As there are so many songs in the final round it's easy to have one be overlooked when looking back, and admittedly I think that's what I did with this. The song, though, is phenomenal, definitely one of my favourites from season one. You may have lost but your choice speaks volumes about your potential. | ANNA MAE ROSÉ
Again I understand that you were restricted in terms of what you could choose by what your team had planned, but I also think that this was far from the best choice you could've made. The choice came across as obvious and in a week with so many iconic and memorable songs, this song completely failed to stand out for me. | SHEMALENA GOMEZ
A very, very solid start for you Miss Gomez. A gem from the first season that I don't think the team could've avoided. I don't really have any huge gripe with this, it's a good choice and a good song, but not necessarily an inspired choice like I found some of the others to be. That said, it was a solid start that I think you'll have no problem building upon. | TERRA DACTYL
I really wanted to like this more than I eventually did unfortunately, I appreciate that you went for something that didn't win, it definitely wasn't an obvious choice, and the song is nice. However, when looking across the seasons, the nice songs fail to stand out. I loved what you tried to do with this, but the execution wasn't quite there. | WEEDY WILLIAMS
What a classic! A good choice that wasn't really an obvious pick. However, I think the restrictions that came with this theme stopped this from being great. Much like Shemalena, this was solid but didn't wow me, though definitely a good start and I'm sure it'll be a great foundation for you to go onto better things throughout the competition. |

 WEB DIVA TULLA LUANA®'S CRITIQUES
This is how a season starts.
Weedy Williams
As our guest judge Madame Sheila said, this is not a bad song, but considering all the songs that had appeared in the first season I think that selecting this song has been a lost chance. And not just that, this week has been incredibly strong and your entry didn't really stand out for me. Do I think it's a good song? Yes. Do I think it stands out or represent the first season? Not really.
Shemalena Gomez
What a start. Every millisecond of this song is a piece of art. This does represent the first season. Maybe it was too safe, but overall I'm pleased with "Saturn" being part of this challenge, as afterall it couldn't have been left out.
Ana Dur Bragh Quinn
I've never had any piece of garbage that tastes this good. This song makes me feel like Satan has stolen my hearing, and there can't be a better way to lose my senses. I'm impressed with your choice, and I can say that I'm glad about you taking this risk. I can't wait to see what else you can bring to the competition.
Anna Mae Rosé
 Wow. I'm also surprised by this choice, but I still feel extremely confused. It's definitely not an obvious choice but do you think it was a smart move to select an entry from Jenea Orangé? Other than this, it's undeniable that you sent a BOP worth of recognition. Even if I didn't really remember your entry, it has called my attention this time.
Andrélle
THIS is what I was looking for since the very first moment. Despite being part of the final challenge and winning it, "Kætteren" is and will always be part of Daniel's Song Race history. I'm expecting a lot coming from you in the future, and I hope you won't let me down soon.
Terra Dactyl
Honey... can you exbrain me what this is? I know your name is Terra Dactyl, but I wasn't really expecting such a fossil as your choice. With this I don't mean this is a bad entry for being old, but this is in the section of forgotten entries of the season for me. I appreciate you selected a song that didn't win but, as I said to Weedy, do you think that out of all the songs you could have chosen this was worth to be selected? My expectations from you were much higher. |

Callum's Critiques
(lots of love to dan for cutting and cropping)
I'm back once again, bitches! Unlike last season, this first week has to be one of the strongest I've experienced.
The vast majority of you should be really proud of yourselves despite being in the losing team.
