Hello Final 11.
Or 10. As mentioned earlier, Kat quit the competition. So instead of Double Elimination, only one of you will be eliminated tonight.
I'm really impressed with you girls again this week. Great job. Here are the photos
Emma: Holy crap, BoA, save some photos for later. This is an example of why we have the size limit - This is too big and proboards has resized it to fit my screen so it looks squashed to me. I can connect the dots between the picture and the song. You're high above the clouds, so is the sun. Your dress is floral and alive, you're sitting on a dead tree. Introspection of life and death can be seen running through your mind in your face. Great job.
Shraddha: I love the dress. It's beautiful. The pattern is gorgeous. And you look really good in it. I can see the connection with the songs. I'm not really sure with your expression. I find it a little bit weak but at the same time, I get that's what you want to portray in this photo.
Jared: As someone who grew up with the Lion King and this uber-famous song from the movie, I can totally see the connection to the lyrics. I am in complete love with that dress, cloud background and sitting on a tree above it all... it is all wonderful. Good work!
Naya: I definitely see the connection to your song, and it looks very pretty as well. The setting and the gown are beautiful, the only real issue I have is that the face is a bit stiff and wooden, it's a bit lifeless, which is kinda the opposite of the song that you chose. Still, great work!
Jensen: Bare with me here as I am on a cell phone and pictures that are too big or too small are reaized to fit my screen. so this is small to me
It's beautiful from what I can see but comments about your face worry me. I have commented on your face before so be careful.
Emma: You may be a strong, independent woman, Ellie, but I'm not entirely sure I see it here. Legs, dress, shoes look great. Your face, however, looks less strong and confident, and more constipated.
Shraddha: I actually like this. I think you look so fierce. And I get that independent woman's vibes from this photo. The pose especially around the legs looks uncomfortable but I do like your expression this week.
Jared: This photo is certainly going in the right direction in a lot of ways. First of all, I love B&W and I've mentioned that before, your pose has an artistic aspect I felt was missing from the ones I've seen prior to this round and I love that. I can see the connection to the lyrics you bolded, I only wish the shoes were totally in the shot too. Good work, Ellie.
Naya: I think you took an interesting tack with the theme here, and I think it mostly paid off. Mostly. The facial expression isn't the greatest, and it does kind of detract from the powerful female vibe that you're trying to give us. Still, it's a pretty decent submission.
Jensen: gorgeous but be careful of your expression please
Emma: You look gorgeous, and this is a gorgeous picture, Emily. However, I'm not sure I see the type of diva this song wanted to portray. You definitely look like a temperamental, haughty woman, I'll give you that, but not in the way the lyrics suggest.
Shraddha: I think the styling is good but I'm just not feeling this. I don't see a diva here. Especially when I'm reading the lyrics cause I expected a sassy and fierce side of you. So I felt like the connection was weak. That's my biggest concern for you this week, Em.
Jared: While I see the connection, I have to agree with Emma. I am expecting one bad ass bitch to be coaxing me toward her from the lyrics, and I'm instead seeing a borderline Stepford Wife. I do love your expression and outfit though. Nice job.
Naya: I certainly see the connection here, but it's a bit tenuous. There are certain types of diva, and this one's a bit more of the rich-bitch who, if you cross her, will get her husband to buy your house and kick you out of it, then burn it to the ground while you watch. It's definitely a great vibe and you pull it off well, but it's not as close to the theme as it could be. Still, strong pose, great facial expression, and a wonderful outfit, so there's definitely a few serious positives.
Jensen: I honestly dont get it. you look great but I don't get it
Emma: It fits the song extremely well, yes. The picture, it's a little bit meh, but it's effective. Coming from me, you shouldn't have too much to worry about this round.
Shraddha: I really like the connection with the song and I can felt it from this photo. I think the angle is good. My concern for you is the expression. I can see the sadness but there's a thin line between looking pretty-sad and ugly-sad. You almost fell into the second one. So be careful.
Jared: Jennifer, there is a solid connection to the photo and the lyrics. As far as I'm concerned this is artistic and moving and exactly what I was hoping to see from this shoot. I love the emotion from your eyes, your hair is full and beautiful and the scenery is dark and sets the mood. Well done!
Naya: I think you're doing a great job of conveying emotion and telling a story with the photo all by itself, and the lyrical connection only makes it stronger. Definitely a fantastic connection to the theme. Only thing I'd say is that it might be nicer to see a full-body shot on this one, just to get some stronger body language and really sell it, but nonetheless it's a great choice.
Jensen: definitely be careful of your face but overall good job
Emma: I feel like you included a bit too much lyric here, Laura. We could have done without the first two verses, the chorus would have sufficed. You look sexy and snake like. That face is sexy and a killer. I think you did a great job.
Shraddha: Great interpretation of the song and lyrics. I think you nailed it this week Laura. This is my favorite shot from you. You're improving from week to week. Great job!!!
Jared: Other than the fact I can tell the setting is completely fake, I am loving that pose and the snake scale outfit and your blown back hair. I can see the connection with the lyrics, including the first verse with the morning sun, but the chorus is definitely bringing it all together. Nice job.
Naya: I think this is a nice shot, and a really good way of interpreting the theme. Great work this week!
Jensen: wow I can't wait to see this on my computer.
Emma: There sure is a lot of red here, darling. Luckily for you, you fit the song perfectly, and you look gorgeous doing it.
Shradhha: Maybe if the background was not in red, I would love this even more. But overall, this is very solid. You're portraying everything in the lyrics. I can how irresistible you are here so great job.
Jared: Things I love: The connection, obviously strong; skin, absolutely flawless; dress, yes! Things I don't love: how the shot doesn't wow me at all. The red background is too much and it feels so simple for such a creative shoot. I'm a little disappointed, but your modelling is making up for it.
Naya: I agree with Jared. The modelling factor is phenomenal here, and you've got a very solid connection to the song, but it seems... safe, I guess? There's absolutely nothing wrong with it on any level, but it doesn't give the extra "Wow!" factor, if that makes any sense. Great work!
Jensen: modelling is good so I am pleased even if it's a bit on the nose
Emma: Nicki, I don't like this. Luckily, your empty, vacuous look goes with the song a little bit. At the same time, it's just boring. Everyone is bringing their A-Game this week. You need to be able to keep up.
Shraddha: I get the connection here and I think your expression perfectly portraying the lyrics. I love how simple this photo is but at the same time I'm worried for it cause everyone is bringing their A game this week.
Jared: Nicki, other than your talk show photo, your expression hasn't changed. Like I've said, I love B&W photos, but only if they give off an artistic vibe. This one doesn't, and I also don't see conventionally pretty when there are fishnet leggings very prominent in the photo. I like your modelling but I'm struggling with the connection even with your explanation.
Naya: I think this was an interesting attempt, but I think it was a bit of a stretch. The problem is that Nicki Minaj does have a certain facial expression that she tends to use in a lot of her photos, and while it's distinctive it's not awesome for all types of shoots. I like the pose and the styling that you've got going here, and the explanation makes sense, but I think it could've been stronger.
Jensen: love your modelling here and the quality and your expression finally works
Emma: I love everything about this, darling - Except your boa, it looks like fungus. You look like you're dreaming of fame, so you went to New York. It looks like you haven't made it yet, because you're stuck in a dilapidated apartment, but you're going to try. I love the story Paloma. Love it.
Shraddha: Gorgeous and glamorous. I love this Paloma. You picked a perfect song and lyrics for this photo. Great job!!!
Jared: OMG YES! Paloma! This is absolutely flawless and EXACTLY what I was hoping to see from this shoot. It is so artistic and the connection is so spot on and your modelling is outrageous. I need to stop before I inflate your head even more with praise. Great work though! LADIES, take note of this. It's stunning. Get on her level.
Naya: Am I the only one who wonders if this isn't actually a photo? It looks like a painting to me, and that makes me wonder if it's a fanshop (which iirc is against the rules?). That's the only issue I really have with it, but I like the connection and the story you're giving us here. It's pretty solid, regardless.
Emma: It's the official cover for her single, New York.
Emma: Thank-you for being so prompt, Selena. One thing to note is that in the instructions, we asked you to post the picture first, then lyrics after. On to your picture and the lyrics itself. I think you look fabulous, and the picture really tells the story the lyrics tell us. The face, fashion, modelling is all on point, and you look tall for being such a shortass.
Shraddha: Gorgeous. You look really good in that dress. It compliments you so well. The color looks perfect. Great job. I can see the connection. Well done.
Jared: This photo never ceases to amaze me. The connection you made with the lyrics is pretty great. Would have been perfect if it were raining, it would have been a totally solid connection then. But still a great job!
Naya: The only real issue I'd have with this is that the facial expression's a bit vacant, makes you seem more like a doll than a human. Other than that, though, I think you nailed it. There's definitely a solid connection to your song, and the modelling factor is off the charts. Great work this week!
Emma: Holy textwall, Shailene. I love lyric analysis as much as the next person, but we don't really need an essay, just compact it down to what you need in a few sentences. I see your expression is much better than it has been in the past three shoots. I think it fits, and I like what you did to it. Don't worry about a thing.
Shraddha: Finally you worked on your expression. Great interpretation of the song. Wow.. I love the explanation because it showed your dedication and efforts to stay in this competition. Great job. I love how artistic this photo is.
Jared: Alright, yeah, I can see the connection. Your explanation was helpful, but I feel like the photo and lyrics should speak for themselves. I think for the most part they do. I think this would have been even better in black and white with a colored rainbow for the "your heart has a lack of color" portion. I love your skin and lips in this shot. Overall, this is decent, much better than last week.
Naya: Don't worry, Shailene, I know who you are and why you've got a tendency to over-explain things. Don't worry, it's just part of your personal charm. <3
I really love the way that you went with this one. I love the rainbow effect, and the rain on the glass, and... oof, I just love it to death. Amazing job this week!
