@Solarie - Avril Lavigne
Sex Education Skit from MADTV (TV Sketch) 

Spoiler

Yvess: Solarie - 9: First off, I am such a hardcore MADtv stan as a kid so this checks the entertainment value for sure. Avril blended very well with the superb cast, I love the campy aura and slay at the DONT TELL ME reference as swift promo

Solarie - Avril Lavigne – 7.5:Honestly I am familiar with MADTV and the dullness of SEX-Ed videos and she nailed both honestly. Some of the comedy moments fell flat compared to what normal MAD TV produced

Sabbath: Solarie - Avril Lavigne - 8: first of all, I wasn’t expecting that at all  I mean, she’s not a comedian but I laughed. Could it have been better? Yea. Was it better than i expected? Also yea! She lacks that comedy or acting overall experience but as far as I know it’s not something she has delved into a lot so I can’t blame her much for lacking a bit of spark. Dynamite Solarie, love MADTV.

Pressure - Solarie 7.5/10  **** she's adorable tho that guy is giving me Eric Forman tease. Anyways she's not the greatest actress but I friggen find anything she does adorable. She can do comedy that's for sure.

gotintoririfever1: Solarie - Avril Lavigne - 7 Its a cute and campy entry from Avril Lavigne. The song reference was a also slick. Anyway, i always thought the girl in that black friend parody was Avril the entire time before lmao.

 

 

@Touch It - Beyonce

Get Out Of My House Scene from Obsessed  (MOVIE)

Spoiler

Yvess: Touch It - 10: Meryl Streep of acting in this movie (also Dreamgirls), she's not. But great job for picking this effective scene! She looks hotter btw when she's mad and in control

Sabbath: Touch It - Beyoncé - 7: omg Lemonade looks different from what I remembered  She constantly crosses the line between being good and overacting, and having Idris acting along her makes it more obvious. Yvess sabotaged u by doing this round before Beyoncé’s The Lion King came out smh, for now I suggest he goes to the Four Seasons.

Element: Touch It - 10.0 - Whew, Beyoncé is BACK!! How can one woman be so talented? I really need to know. This scene was entertaining and powerful. She mastered the subtle nuances of this dialogue, morphing her tone from calm to explosive as needed. A memorable mixture of anger, confusion, and sadness permeated her entire being. This scene is a standout this round.

Pressure -Touch It  10/10  I Love this part and this movie, I remember I watched it just for beyonce. she's just a great actress. She shows such emotion, anger in this I love it

gotintoririfever1: Touch It - Beyonce - 10 Now THAT IS AN ENTRY. Basically embodied this whole round was about. Living for this scene, it showcased her ability to convey emotions as an actress and foreshadow the events that will be happening in her future. We stan.

@Queen Conchita- Conchiita Wurst

Hit Me (Live Performance) 

Spoiler

 

Yvess: Queen Conchita - 7: This is a refreshing choice. But im just a bit confused, this works well in a dance round or even in a showstopper round imo. This kind of entry actually needs an explanation. Sadly, there's none.

Speezy: Queen Conchita - Conchiita Wurst – 5:This was lowkey hot but the acting was awful , the performance on the other hand was a bit entertaining. I wish there was like a physical fight or fake fight scene to manifest the missing pieces.

Element: Queen Conchita - 6.0 - I imagine this round was a challenge for you, and I think the performance that you found patches you through a bit. The angst and expressiveness were powerful, albeit short segments of the overall performance. I bet Conchita could be a good actor in the larger scale moving forward tbh.

Pressure - Queen  Conchita 6/10  he isnt an actor but he sure is a performer.  The sass attuide he has here is hot.  Just doesn't show as much as the other entries is all

gotintoririfever1: Queen Conchita -Conchita Wurst - 8 An interesting choice indeed. I actually like this performance. It was very angsty and emotional and kudos to the fact that its live. Great choice.

 

 

 

@PinkBox- Celine Dion

Scene from Psalm 151, Touched by an Angel (SERIES)    

Spoiler

 

Yvess: Pinkbox - 9: This episode made me cry as a kid and I feel like Celine did a good job in this acting gig. This is a major stepup from last round's bottom performance

Sabbath: Fatbox - Celine Dion - 7.5: Her singing is definitely a lot better than her acting, but it’s still okay. About her acting, I think it was a little flat but I can classify it as ‘believable’

Element: PinkBox - 6.5 - Okay. Let’s unpack this. I think that Celine did a decent job in this scene. She managed the dialogue well and she was invested in the other characters. I just don’t feel very wow’d by her “acting” because she was playing herself and spent a decent portion singing on stage. She didn’t really have to create/embrace a unique character as many of the other girls did this round. That component really holds her back.

Pressure - PinkBox  6.5/10  this is cute and touching to see her young fans. Sorta can tell watching the boy was sick. Tho she's playing probably playing her young self here so it's not much of acting but it's cute.

gotintoririfever1: PinkBox - Cel*ne D*on - 8.50 This is the first time to watch the clip and i am pretty moved. Celine's performance in this scene is amazing.

WHY...so it is easy to just leave right?

@PoKiTaurus - Mariah Carey
   Obsessed (MV) 

Spoiler

Yvess: PokiTaurus - 6: I expected a different MV if you will not send in a clip from Precious or even Glitter. Color me a bit underwhelmed.  But I still enjoyed this tbh but not 10-worthy.

PoKiTaurus - Mariah Carey – 8.5:This video was iconic for reasons. Her playing herself and the obsesser. I do love the humor in it too. It did feel like some expressions were unauthentic in the video.

Sabbath: Pokitaurus - Mariah Carey - 5: It’s a fun video and since she’s “playing 2 characters” I see why it would make sense for you to want to send this, but there’s not much acting going on in here if we’re being real. The real her is just singing the song like on any other video and the male her isn’t doing much but touching his merch of her or staring at her and that’s……not acting. I think you should’ve sent a different video or used her role in Precious, that would’ve been more impressive since it’s so different to her real persona. My first time being disappointed with one of your entries :(

Pressure -  PoKiTaurus 6/10  I know for sure Mariah hasn't got much when it comes to ideas for her videos because she always does the same thing. But i agree she played the male pretty well. it's only video out there that shows a fun personitly from her.

gotintoririfever1: PokiTaurus - Mariah Carey - 5 Okay. The song is an ABSOLUTE BOP YES! But Mariah has more stronger entries than this. It showcased how she was able to portray a campy kidz bop version of Eminem. I just cannot take it seriously in any aspect. A No No  

 

 

@thecptz - Kacey Musgraves

Space Cowboy (MV)

Spoiler

 

 

Yvess: thecptz - 8.5: You used this sad video and I can actually believe that she has the acting talent. I thought you will flop this round but you surprised me.

Speezy: thecptz - Kacey Musgraves – 5:The song was indeed sad. I wish there was more than that little altercation scene and her serving “Alone Looking Lost” syndrome we all know in ballad MVs. Unlike most of the music videos this round , this one just lacked a decent juicy story

Element: thecptz - 5.0 - There were very few scenes in this where she was really “acting”... the rest of it was pretty shots from the distance of her looking sad or pensive. And there was a lot of time dedicated to the man too. I think if you were going with the MV route, you had to really sell us on the character and acting scenes… this just doesn’t have them.

Pressure - Thecptz 5.5/10  sadly this just looked like a normal music video to me. Not much acting shown here :( I understand she's still a new star so she's she still showing herself.  So not gonna stay she hasn't got any skill to act. Guess we still haven't seen in shine as the others have.

gotintoririfever1: thecptz - Kacey Musgraves - 5 Okay. I love the song and the music video as a whole. It  atmospheric and melancholic but i do not see acting on this one. Its basically like any other sad dramatic video of a basic sad girl singing alone in some abandoned house or wheatfield. Idk.

@Loyalty - Christina Aguilera

Hurt (MV) 

Spoiler

 

 

Yvess: Loyalty - 7: Just like Mimi's problem, you ignored her acting excellence in a motion picture which is Burlesque, Ugh. This hits the feels tbh, I wished there were some dialog coz we all know XtinE is good with doing emotional faces when she sings.  I just feel like this is a wasted opportunity for you and Mimi coz clearly, you were one of the few who had decent acting projects compared to the others.

Sabbath: Loyalty - Christina Aguilera - 0: If I can’t have Loyalty no one will ?

Sabbath: Loyalty - Christina Aguilera - 7: This song always makes me cry   anyways, while I think she does show off emotions while singing the song and as story passes, she’s not acting that much, she gets out-acted a LOT by the young christina and the dad. I wish you stuck to your original idea or that considered Burlesque (which again I haven’t watched in a while so maybe it’s not a good idea? but i believe it was).

Element: Loyalty - 9.0 - Very good choice. I was worried that she was going to be overshadowed by flashbacks at first, but it worked out okay. Even without dialogue, Christina was able to sell a very convincing story through her characterization, facial expressions, and body language. I could feel the emotional tension building at times and would have loved a bit more. But overall, this was one of the strongest entries of the round.

Pressure - Lolity 7/10  another emotional music video. Good entry tbh similar what i said with katy.  Makes you feel what they feel watching them.

 

gotintoririfever1: Loyalty - XtinE - 9 I actually love it. The theatrical and cinematic approach for the music video plus her acting and expressions is always good. I love how she was able to portray the song through her acting and movements throughout the song. Pretty strong entry but she has better ones out there like her speech to Lady Gaga on The Voice. Now that could have been a great oscar worthy entry.

 

 

 

 

@Not Like The Movies- Janelle Monae

Scene from Hidden Figures (MOVIE) 

Spoiler

 

Yvess: Not Like The Movies - 9: This girl can actually act! This scene is cute. It leaves me wanting for more tbh.

Not Like The Movies - Janelle Monae – 7.5:Well this is odd judging my former mentees, I hope your new tribes are treating you well and giving you the proper air quality…anyways. This scene definitely reflected that point in time. The excitement at the end was key point too. But I do wish there was a tad bit more emotion in the judge scene

Sabbath: Not Like the Movies - Janelle Monae - 8: The script is good for this scene and I liked her little reaction at the end when she got what she wanted lol. She’s obviously very talented from what I’ve seen of her acting projects, but I’m not sure if this was the best choice. I like how composed and secure she is during the courtroom bit but that doesn’t really allow us to see her range.It’s still a good entry.

Pressure - Not Like The Movies 6/10  Maybe it was just the scene but I just found her acting boring tbh. I'm sorry sis. Sorta just turned off right through it.

gotintoririfever1: Not Like The Movies - Janelle Monae - 10 Wow. I am astounded by this powerful scene from this movie. I was really taken away and convinced by Janelle's acting on this one. Homegirl was ready and kept pulling all them receipts from left to right. Pretty much my favorite scene in that movie. What a great choice of an entry. Slay mama! Tens across the board! #BlackExcellence

@Psycho - Lady Gaga

Bathtub Scene from ASIB (MOVIE)

Spoiler

Yvess: Psycho - 9.5: No question about her acting talent. periodT. But is this the best scene to showcase her acting talent?

Speezy: Psycho - Lady Gaga - 10:I AM SCREAMING. The escalation of the argument was pretty well. I do love how the scripts had them argue over each other. It seemed very real

Element: Psycho - 8.5 - I haven’t watched anything from ASIB yet so this was an INTERESTING first look at the movie for me. I think that Gaga did a good job overall with the dialogue and banter here. She embraced it and added her unique cadence to everything. I was hoping for something a bit more dynamic, but it’s a solid ****ing scene that makes me ****ing want to see more of her ****ing acting abilities.

Pressure - Psycho  10/10  she was so amazing in this movie. She is a great actress and this scene i loved. She looks so good here too

gotintoririfever1: Psycho - Lady Gaga - 9 LOVE this scene. It shows Gaga's authenticity and raw talent as an actress. A very heartbreaking scene that portrays an emotionally abusive relationship. Amazing entry.

 

@kiiwii - Katy Perry
The One That Got Away (MV)

Spoiler

Yvess: kiiwii - 9: Well, I am glad you sent this entry, the drama is here and I love the storyline too, Just like what I sent in for the Sample Entry (Over by Lindsay Lohan), this entry banked on the story which entertained me. The explanation won me over too!  Now, I feel sad for an artistic ex I never had!

Speezy: kiiwii - Katy Perry – 9:The storyline was good, That tattoo scene was cringeworthy especially with the fake yelling. The scene where she sees his ghost or spirit was very well played

Sabbath: kiiwii - Katy Perry - 8: Ahhhhh not this video   Literal perfection besides the old Katy scenes which I’ve never liked that much, and some scenes feel overacted to me but BESIDES THAT, I loved this video so much since the it came out. What her best song deserved, brb crying.

Pressure - kiiwii  7/10  the video still gets to me. It breaks my heart.. I do love the story and twist.  She shows real emotion in this and can understand why you sent this.

gotintoririfever1: kiiwii - Katy Perry - 10. I am rewatching this music video again after 8 years and felt like a trainwreck AGAIN. The storyline and setting really fits the song. Easily one of Katy's best videos. Ended up crying when the song ended and the outro buried me. :(((. Wish this Katy will comeback.

Boys - Britney Spears

Abby the Receptionist Scene from How I Met Your Mother (SERIES)    

Spoiler

 

Yvess: Boys - 10: This is great, Abby is my spirit animal

Sabbath: Boys - Britney Spears - 8.5: Ahhhhh, I wish this was the episode of when she’s working at the clinic, I think it would’ve been stronger cause this video was too choppy and didn’t showcase her role as well, so I hope the other judges watched HIMYM cause she was really funny and knew how to play the role. But i have to base it on the actual entry.

Element: Boys - 7.5 - This entry was cute and fun! She definitely was energetic and entertaining, if not lacking a bit of depth. It was not the most groundbreaking and incredible acting of all time, but it was good for a cameo appearance.

Pressure - Boys 7.5/10  Britney is like avril. She can do good comedy sorta acting too.  Cute entry.

gotintoririfever1: Boys - Britney Spears - 7 Her acting on HIMYM did its part. Nice. Homegirl can do campy, comedy and fun acting for sure.

 

 

 

KatyCatPH - Taylor Swift

Blank Space (MV)

Spoiler

 

Yvess: KatyCatPH - 9: She's so good in this video coz she is portraying herself. Wise choice! Love the man in this video too btw

Speezy: KatyCatPH - Taylor Swift – 9:This is a prime example of a music video with a good storyline. I love the obsession Taylor had in the beginning, the fight she had with him near the middle, and the climax at the end. Also the story matches the song as a whole. Element is seething right now at your success
Element: KatyCatPH - 9.0 - Taylor’s portrayal of this love-crazed villain is extremely charismatic and entertaining. It’s a very fun choice on your part, and I think everyone was impressed by how in-character she got. The only thing that is a mark against her is that there is no dialogue to really enforce the character and test her nuances as an actress… however, the flamboyant facial expressions and body language help to balance this out.

Pressure - KatyCatPH  6/10  this is cute video but I feel any artist could pull this off. I love Taylor but never seen her true acting yet. Tho she was cute in the movie Valentine's day.
gotintoririfever1: KatyCatPH - Taylor Swift - 6 It was an okay entry from Taylor. Nothing really noteworthy on this one tbh. The aesthetics on this music video is nice tho.
