MAIN CHALLENGE
Good morning my All Stars! Isn't it refreshing to return to the Workroom? 4 seasons have passed and you were my Top queens to rejoin the competition. This competition is not only about being the All Star queen, it's also about learning from your mistakes and building your legacy.
For our first challenge, let's take some of these mistakes and let them be undone!

Scarlett von Kock Redemption for: “Tug My Heartstrings” (S03 W2) aka Guitar Week
Fishbach • "Mortel" (engl.: “Deadly”)
2:15+ note: this looks like a live performance but it’s the studio audio
I chose to redeem my guitar week entry for various reasons: First of all, it’s the challenge I bombed the most in Season 3. Out of the three challenges that landed me in the bottom 2, this was the only week I actually finished last in the ranking, as I was pre-last in Week 4 and Week 8. Additionally, it’s well known that instrument challenges are more or less my biggest weakness so I really want to show that I’m able to nail this challenge against all expectations!

PHOEBE STRUTS S04W07 // OOKY, SPOOKY
Rotting Christ - "X Ξ Σ" 3:13+
Some of you might think "Why is he choosing the week he ended low, when he also bottomed?". What this challenge is about is to redeem ourselves from previous choices. My biggest redemption would be one though.. trust. During the whole Season 4 I would not trust my choices and would try to get some opinions or suggestions, some positive, but some negative. This week was by far my worst. This song was my first choice but because I had no trust in myself, I decided to not go for it, and listen to someone who said to me 'it is not good'. This time I'm here to trust my guts and go for it no matter what. That's my kind of redemption..

JESSICA ELLEN CORNISH TOM ADAMS • "FADE" (2:45+) (S2E10, Break My Heart)
Whisper goodbye And finally walk away It's the last time But the road back home Feels longer now
Remember that night We promised with young hearts With your hand in mine But forever did not last a long time
You know I'm holding on memories still And I'm holding on memories still And I'm holding on memories still
Six months have passed That we can't ignore The light slowly fades But what do you see when you close your eyes?
You know I'm holding on memories still And I'm holding on memories still And I'm holding on memories still
And you fade away And you fade away And you fade away And you fade away And you fade away |
I decided to try to redeem myself for the heartbreak week because, although the rankings were extremely close for this week, this was the only time I was ever in the bottom two. I also think, retrospectively, this was the category I struggled with most, and so I wanted to prove to myself that I could send something better for the second time around, hopefully in turn proving that I can go further than my result last time.

REDEMPTION REALNESS SON LUX – YESTERDAY'S WAKE REDEMPTION FOR "SHOW OFF YOURSELF" (S02W01) Sending Sofi Tukker in my first week was probably the worst decision I have ever made in the competition.So I have decided to send this masterpiece which showcases me, myself, Madame Sheila, both lyric-wise and video production-wise. In case you can't interpret totally, here is a small description for some of the hidden messages in the music video.
She’s disgusted with something she has done before or is currently doing, and ultimately punishes herself to recompense but doesn’t feel like anything will be enough to erase her guilt.
gilded shrimp: they took something live and plagued it with vanity, also biblical reference to shrimp which are considered sinful to eat as old testament says; basically she sees the shrimp and recognizes her own (or her species’ own wrongdoings) stabbing: after she’s had enough with living with the sin or wrongdoing (represented by shrimp) she stabs the shrimp/rock, which cuts to a scene of her being like choked in the air and thrown around and bleeding; her causing the bleeding makes me think of self-flagellation for sin, going back to biblical references. fighting to get the fish back in the water in beginning: Basically, she doesn’t agree with this practice of fishing and making the fish a vanitized version with gold and stuff (sin?)
she can’t get up in end: she just lays theres and bleeds, she looks defeated, makes no effort to stop blood or anything, and ryan sings “i’m stuck in yesterday’s wake” which makes me believe that she thinks nothing she can do can really make things better
- black blood: her blood is contaminated, she’s done evil, just like the rest of the people. I have bonded with this song a lot since it was out, and I have been a huge fan of Son Lux's musical work for a long time. I am so happy to have the chance to send this, hopefully it will be able to erase the memory of me sending Fuck They! Timeslot: TBA (it's really hard to pick one and i want to sleep x)Layout kindly borrowed from Dimitris
