dedicated is a minor disappointment, carly never fails to deliver well-written pop tracks but nothing here comes close to the level of emotional impact run away with me had on me when I first heard it (no drug like me comes the closest), would I skip on any of these songs? probably no, but would I actively wanna listen to any of them? only a select few

I don’t think she could’ve knocked out any one of the nominees, this is probably one of the strongest lineups in any grammy category ever, my least favourite here is the janet song and I loved that album

this ru-mix was surprisingly good, even brooke was fine, the whole thing might not be up to par with the legendary rwuw but definitely better than american, not to mention the atrocious super queen, going by verses vanjie and yvie were the clear top two, but I can see the judges’ point in saying vanjie had trouble connecting with the choreography,…[Read more]

can’t wait for miss brooke to serve us roxxxy andrews 2.0

finale taping just wrapped, looks like everything turned out as expected

Vampire Weekend – Father of the Bride

The Coathangers – The Devil You Know

Priests – The Seduction of Kansas

you would think after eleven years of making the show production would know a thing or two about avoiding leaks yet they just spoiled the final four with a poster they shared on social media

finale taping is tomorrow, safe to bet that there won’t be any fan vote whatsoever

next week is the final rap challenge, and if they’re doing a bottom 2 lip sync (which they probably would) it’s gonna be brooke and vanjie for sure, brooke has been extremely prepared for every aspect of the show, but a rapper she simply is not

oh and I loved the moment with scarlet floating in the werk room looking like a denim blob, but I already love everything scarlet does anyway

this was one of the better makeover challenges we’ve had, mostly thanks to all the queens bringing their own outfits, nothing next level, I loved yvie and scarlet’s concept but the proportions were off, scarlet would’ve benefited from a corset, top 3 were all typical pageant drag and the prettiest one won, whatever, vanjie could’ve used a win here…[Read more]

yvie is most likely gonna repeat sharon’s fumble in the makeover but that won’t be enough to land her in the bottom 2 thanks to nina and silky’s lack of sewing skills, brooke and vanjie are both easily safe this week, maybe they’ll do a top 5 acting challenge like all stars to make sure these two lip sync

I don’t really have much to say about this week’s episode other than I really wish nina had better runways so she can just win the whole goddamn thing and shuga got a real raw deal from the producers

next week’s the makeover, silky and nina are gonna trip on this one the most since neither of them are great seamstresses, they also happen to be…[Read more]

this is gonna be an important week for nina and shuga, especially the latter, if they don’t win this week then the chances of them being remembered are pretty slim since they are guaranteed to not do well in the makeover and the ball (or whatever they’re gonna use to substitute the ball, I hope it’s not the evil twin bullshit again)

it’s actually a very common practice among asian immigrants, myself included, to use a certain affectation in our daily speech, and while I can’t speak for her, I’ve definitely had experiences where my actual accent comes out when I have to think on my feet, so there’s that

well it’s a disney movie, of course a mouse saves the world

pink will probably still make it in but it’ll be such a boring choice, I’d rather see madonna pulling off a comeback or carly rae jepsen getting the nomination she should’ve had with emotion

do you have trouble understanding the word “predictor”? I didn’t say pitchfork was the determining factor in their failure to get nominated, but they are a good indicator when it comes to whether the increasingly high-brow committee would favour an album

shake it off collected the 4th most top 10 votes in the annual critics’ poll, critics loved her and were placing her in all kinds of lists even though their indie-oriented readers weren’t here for it (I remember when pitchfork put 2 songs from 1989 on their year-end list and bunch of their readers went nuts, fun times), then 2016 happened and it…[Read more]
