The first critiques will be given to Miz Bulge Area ( alex(a)bg). Désirée Nick:You were definitely the highlight of your group. The song by itself is amazing. You managed to unveil a different aspect to the concept of friendship. Having a more difficult theme, yet still managing to elevate it has paid off very well for you. Marina Satti:What an amazing week for you.. the song was spectacular and you delivered it so well, it was such a great moment for you. JuPaul:This was a really lovely submission. I think the lyrics could be about a romantic relationship as well but the song title obviously connects it to the required theme. Good week for you! Jojo Siwa:This was absolutely gorgeous and and the bittersweet vibe really sold me on this. Really gorgeous work overall next to a team that failed to really deliver.

Secondly, we have Eva Máziková ( Percy Yates). Jojo Siwa:My complete indifference towards this song needs to be scientifically studied. Try as I might, this song doesn't manage to invoke any reaction at all from me. Fits the category very well though. JuPaul:This was a good performance. It fits the theme and sounds pretty good as well. I do think parts of it dragged a bit but overall it was a lovely entry. Marina Satti:This was such a great choice you made as well. Team Romance really outdid themselves this week, all three of you were cohesive and it worked perfectly.. congrats!! Désirée Nick:Solid effort. Simply a great song. Is it the most impactful choice for a relatively easy theme? Perhaps not but I respect it either way. Not much else to say, nice job!

Next up, it's Kuchi-San ( david). JuPaul:Personally I'm not so convinced that this song really fits the theme. I had to rely on google translate unfortunately but either way, to me the lyrics seem to be more of a romantic nature. Even if they're not romantic, they're rather vague? Like it's not giving huge friendship vibes. Besides that, while the song is cute, I think it's kind of a boring submission. I think it would be good if for future entries, you try to step away from the fan contest sphere a little bit and try to think more outside the box, like you did in the weeks in which we gave you positive critiques. I know you have great potential but entries like this one don't really showcase that. Désirée Nick:The lyrics of the song leave a lot of room for interpretation. I can see why you chose it, however I can also see points as to how it isn't in theme. Though for me the more pressing issue is the song itself. It's simply not doing much for me. Marina Satti:it was a bold choice of you to send that certain song.. and I don’t think it paid off.. even if the meaning was close to what your task was the song was uninspiring compared to the other songs of the week, still not as bad as some others, but it’s been tough Jojo Siwa: can't lie I'm confused... this song is kinda just whatever? Sending a song in Italian is cool if not a bit challenging in this context, but the song itself is just whatever. It's not good enough for to really care all that much about what it's saying lyrically. A gamble gone wrong I fear.

Coming up now is Mel A Tonin ( Matt). Marina Satti:just one word… MAGNIFICENT!! I have no comment you can never go wrong with SAL, and you showed once again how it’s done.. this was incredible. Jojo Siwa:I can't lie this one didn't quite do it for me: It's really beautiful of course, and the vocal performance and lyrics are nice, but it just felt a little bit too lifeless for me. Still the highlight of the team in my opinion though. Désirée Nick:Simply a good choice. Beautiful song. You've stepped beyond just sending a stereotypical love song and it's a great way to elevate your theme and take us through your own thought process. Great work! JuPaul:Well this song fits the theme really well, good job on that. I also like the song itself, although I do think Sleeping At Last has better ones. Like it's good but it's not fully scratching my itch.

Time for Tess Tpusi ( Chante™). JuPaul:Now girl... let's be serious. Yes, partners are family too but since there was a romantic team and you were in the family team, I kinda expected you to connect the dots and realize that partners weren't the direction you should go into. Maybe if the song was about both partners working the 9 to 5 and building a strong team to provide for your children or something like that, it would've fit. But... it's literally just a song about love and sex? Additionally, even if the song had fit the theme, I'm afraid I didn't like it. I thought it was a snooze, sawry. Désirée Nick:Your song is really good. What hurts your performance this week is how it relates to the theme - or rather how much it relates to the theme of a different group. I understand your thought process, unfortunately it's just a few steps too deep into romantic love for me to give it a pass, sorry. Jojo Siwa:For me this was too romantic for me to overlook in the familial love category. I understand that category is a bit difficult, but this was just too much for me. I don't dislike the song though, it's just a bit of a non-event. Marina Satti:You failed to impress me.. the connection was there but not strong enough to help you more, and the song as a song was just bland and it didn’t make any fuss.. you had a strong start but somehow you’re flying under the radar.. consider this your wake up call, and bring it harder from now on.

And finally, we will speak to Maxima XCX ( agni). Jojo Siwa:I can't lie I really enjoyed this! I thought the song was a bop and I think it's a fun way to sum up the experience of having a bestie. Désirée Nick:I appreciate you taking on a different point of view of the song. It certainly wasn't the easiest challenge so that was a clever choice. As for the song I just can't say I love it. Marina Satti:well… the song choice was atrocious.. it’s one of the worst songs I’ve heard in my life and I can’t overcome that feeling while judging.. I was hoping for you to not pick that song while going through your options and I was begging you’d make the right choice.. this was not the right one… JuPaul:Not too much now Miss Marina... This song was a bit of a bop para mi. Do I think it was the strongest possible execution of the theme? Not necessarily, I think all 3 friendship songs had ambiguous lyrics that might just as well refer to romantic love. But I can see where the friendship angle may come in, so this still passes the vibe check. To me this is a decent, inoffensive entry for the theme.

Eva Máziková, this week you asked us not to delete our kisses and we complied with that request. Mel A Tonin, bottoming twice seems to have done you a favor, as you've bloomed ever since. Miz Bulge Area, you might've ended a friendship but managed to walk away with something better instead. Miz Bulge Area, condragulations, you are the winner of this week's challenge!
Eva Máziková and Mel A Tonin, good job this week, you are both safe.

Kuchi-San, the lyrics of your song were tumultuous, but not what we were looking for. Maxima XCX, life could indeed be sweet if only Marina didn't hate you. Tess TPusi, you sent whatever you wanted and now landed exactly where you didn't want to land. Maxima XCX, you are safe.
Kuchi-San and Tess TPusi, unfortunately you are our bottom 2 of the week. We'll see you soon for the sing-off.

EPISODE 6 RESULTS • SING-OFF
Kuchi-San... Tess TPusi... two queens stand before me. This is the last chance for you to impress me and save yourself from elimination. Let's listen to your songs. Kuchi-San | Tess TPusi | Telenova • "Stained Glass Love" | ATARASHII GAKKO! • "Toryanse" |
|
|
Ladies, I've made my decision. This was a very very close call and even as I'm writing this, I'm weighing my options... But I have made my decision. Kuchi-San, shantay you stay. Your song was beautiful x
Tess TPusi, when your song started, I thought you were gonna eat Kuchi-San up. In the end, I didn't think the chorus was impactful enough though, but it was a very respectable effort. I like that you always reached for the stars with your entries, even if you sometimes fell short. But now... sashay away.
