rl231 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 First off, it's @luckystrike! COMMENTS Britney Spears Music - 4.5/5 - The setlist is pretty accurate for me, it’s a Halftime show so I personally don’t see the inclusion of album cuts necessary, so you pretty much nailed it for me, Work ***** was snubbed though! Costume - .5/2 - It was kinda messy, the Britney looks are okay but I wish you had more of a concept in general because they just felt random to me due to the fact that the dancers had different outfits for every single song, it just felt extremely incohesive and all over the place. Staging - 1/3 - Same critique as the costumes, there was not a established concept and it felt all over the place to me, it had some nice details regarding the choreographies but very weak overall. Final Score: 6/10 Kylie Minogue Music - 4.5/5 - I think the way you ordered this + the interludes works extremely well, it has a very nice flow to it. I do feel like you could’ve maybe squeezed a few more songs in that are considered Kylie classics to me (Chocolate and Come Into My World) but overall it’s great! Costume - 2/2 - Obsessed with the looks, they feel so ***** and adequate for a Super Bowl. Staging - 2.5/3 - Obsessed with those AI pictures, they were so fun to look at and the concept was extremely present to me, I do wish you went into more depth with the performances of each song but it’s overall very nice and cohesive. Final Score: 9/10 Nicki Minaj Music - 4.5/5 - Not sure how I felt about Monster being the opener but honestly the setlist as a whole is great, hit after hit. Costume - 1/2 - I love the concept but some of the looks were not very great, they all make sense with the performance but you could’ve done way better for Nicki. Staging - 3/3 - I was gagged tbh, I loved the concept since the beginning and the amount of detail you gave for everything was great. Final Score: 8.5/10 Avril Lavigne Music - 4/5 - Keep Holding On into Sk8r Boi into I’m With You felt kinda weird to me but the selection of songs is good overall, and the Joan/Olivia features felt random at first but I guess it works to a certain extent, thanks for that audio edit btw, nice little touch that helped. Costume - .5/2 - These looks… boot. You could’ve done way more, Olivia had the best look of the bunch and it was nothing special. Staging - 2.5/3 - I wish you had used some sort of visual for this but the descriptions you gave are detailed enough and pretty fun. Final Score: 7/10
rl231 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 (edited) Secondly, it's @Rotunda! COMMENTS Britney Spears Music - 4.5/5 - It’s a halftime show. It’s supposed to have hits. Good job. Costume - 0.5/2 - It really just feels like a walkthrough of past eras. Nothing super inventive here Staging - 1.5/3 - There’s some level of thought here, but this all seems very paint-by-numbers for an alleged pop princess Final Score: 6.5/10 Kylie Minogue Music - 4/5 - I’m not well read on what is/isn’t seen as adequate for Kylie but this works for me. I do think the distribution of representation across her discography is weird Costume - 2/2 - No complaints Staging - 2.5/3 - Cute fan fictions Final Score: 8.5/10 Nicki Minaj Music - 3.5/5 - I’m personally not a fan of the Cardi feature fan fiction, nor am I super enthused with Only’s appearance. Costume - 1.5/2 - They’re ugly, but intentionally so I guess. Staging - 3/3 - I appreciate how thought through everything here is. Final Score: 8/10 Avril Lavigne Music - 4/5 - Keep Holding On into Sk8r Boi into I’m With You felt kinda weird to me but the selection of songs is good overall, and the Joan/Olivia features felt random at first but I guess it works to a certain extent, thanks for that audio edit btw, nice little touch that helped. Costume - .5/2 - These looks… boot. You could’ve done way more, Olivia had the best look of the bunch and it was nothing special. Staging - 2.5/3 - I wish you had used some sort of visual for this but the descriptions you gave are detailed enough and pretty fun. Final Score: 7/10 Edited March 13, 2023 by rl231
rl231 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Next, it's @Staryu! COMMENTS Britney Spears Music - 3.5/5 - The song list is the best thing here, you can't really go wrong with Britney's hits, they're all fun and iconic and most are halftime show ready. I will say you could have included a couple non singles like Showdown/Kill the Lights/Gasoline would have been cute for the Super Bowl, also more Blackout is always appreciated in my house! Costume - .5/2 - I feel like you could have done more with the costumes, included more pics, found better pics, done more changes, Britney has so many amazing tour looks you could have used and iconic performance looks like multiple VMAs looks. Staging - 1.5/3 - "She says it's britney." Already botched the opening, it's BRITNEY *****! not "it's britney." I think the sets are fun but basic/predictable for the most part but I do like some of the detail you give for the dancers/choreo. The dancers slithering like a snake in S4U, the flight attendants choreo sounds fun. Um the Madonna guest spot could have definitely been expanded, it sounds really short and basic for such a legend, you could have remixed Vogue or one of her hits into a Britney classic and had them do something besides repeat the vmas kiss. Final Score: 5.5/10 Kylie Minogue Music - 5/5 - Love the songs yall chose, Spinning Around/Slow/Love at First Sight, you’ve got all my faves here tbh. I like the order you chose and how you use some as intros/interludes, very nice. Costume - 2/2 - The costumes you chose are gorgeous and I like how you included the art pics of Kylie as well for each stage of the show, it helped me visualize the show more in my mind. Staging - 2.5/3 - I will say your presentation itself is my favorite of the 4 groups, it’s visually very interesting and fun to go through and that’s appreciated. The AI art pics are a great choice because they let you create these fun cosmic disco visuals. I feel like you explained what Kylie was doing very well for the performances, the only critique really is maybe more details about the dancers and any stage props/backgrounds, a few of the songs you just describe Kylie singing/dancing solo and don’t really visualize anything else that’s going on, like the Cowboy Style thru Get Outta My Way section. Final Score: 9.5/10 Nicki Minaj Music - 4/5 - You included 3 of my top favorite Nicki songs, I appreciate that, Moment 4 Life is the perfect closer, Chun-Li/Monster very strong opener. I will say #Justice4VaVaVoom though and a Bottoms Up or Plain Jane verse would have slayed. The Cardi guest spot though? It’s a stunt I guess, I don’t believe it but good for you trying to bring peace to female rap. I do feel like you could have included more of her features/better guests than Cardi. Imagine a David Guetta section hyping the crowd, Turn Me On/Hey Mama, or Ariana and Side to Side live, dick bicycle live at the Super Bowl. Costume - 2/2 - I love the costumes, they all fit Nicki and Cardi, I love the colors and different styles representing iconic Nicki moments, very nice choices. Staging - 3/3 - I feel like you did a great job with your Super Bowl stages, I love the Barbie theme, very on brand for Nicki, pink is the best color, I love the details you go into with the sets, I feel like a Barb had to of wrote this up because you know a lot of perfect details. The mama bear part and pregnant Barbie is corny af but so is Nicki now and I could definitely see her doing some mess like that. Final Score: 9/10 Avril Lavigne Music - 4/5 - You included my top 3 favorite Avril songs so I’m happy with that, the guest performers are uh interesting, I could see Joan Jett for sure, Olivia is cute I guess, she would be needed to bring in some younger viewers maybe but idk she’s waited so long since her debut to release anything, is she even relevant anymore? Also I don’t love the flow of the last 3 songs, Keep Holding On into Sk8r Boi then I’m With You, is kinda jarring, you probably could have just removed the short KHO section tbh. The concept audio is much appreciated though! Costume - 1.5/2 - I appreciate the many costume changes, some look like slays, a few are giving like.. boring day at the mall though. Staging - 3/3 - I think you chose great props and set pieces for Avril. I love the motorcycle entrance, the Bring It On inspired section, and the black balloons at the end, these all feel very on brand for Avril to me and would work great for the halftime show. Final Score: 8.5/10
rl231 Posted March 13, 2023 Author Posted March 13, 2023 Next, it's @supaspaz! COMMENTS Britney Spears Music - 2.5/5 - This seems longer than an actual Super Bowl Halftime Show. You stuffed it to the brim with hits, and yet it doesn’t really excite me. I could have used an off-kilter choice or two to shake up expectations and show how deep Britney’s discography runs. The biggest surprise is that you spend that much time with “If U Seek Amy,” of all things. The Madonna guest appearance is perfunctory and wasted. If you’re going to get someone of her stature to the show, do something really creative with her! Your most inspired choice was using the breakdown from “Hold It Against Me.” I love that part. Costume - 1/2 - It’s giving ugly, especially that cursed image you found for the “...Baby One More Time” section. What do you mean Madonna is wearing the look that Santana wore on Glee? That’s just her costume from the music video. Staging - 1.5/3 - It’s awfully light on dancing for a pop star with so much iconic choreography. She’s really using none of it on her biggest stage? Make it make sense. A couple moments I like: the lights turning up during “Gimme More,” the “Circus” dance-off. Final Score: 5/10 Kylie Minogue Music - 3.5/5 - Seriously? Her entire pre-2000s career gets less representation here than the Disco era. As a Kylie fan, I’m legitimately offended. It’s definitely giving off a shallow knowledge of her discography. I can see that you were largely sticking to a club and dance-pop vibe with these choices and there’s a certain flow I appreciate, especially with the nice use of interludes. But would it have killed you to throw in, say, “Where Is the Feeling?” or at least something more unexpected like “Your Disco Needs You”? Costume - 2/2 - You did that. The reinvention of the “Can’t Get You Out of My Head” look is everything. Staging - 2.5/3 - Gorgeous presentation. The renderings totally captured for me the flashy, stadium-filling sensory overload that you were going for. I agree that I could have used a touch more detail about the performance itself, though there were some nice star moments in there. Kylie dancing with a cowboy hat for “Cowboy Style” is cute, but I am not seeing the connection to “Slow,” especially when she had a whole cowboy era two albums ago. Final Score: 8/10 Nicki Minaj Music - 5/5 - A bit iconic, I fear. This setlist would honestly smash. I was skeptical about starting the performance so musically heavy, but listening through, these conceptual groupings do largely work for me. I don’t care if the Card guest spot is a stunt that would never happen in real life. I would like to see it! And hear what Nicki would do on “WAP.” Costume - 1.5/2 - I have no idea how these costume changes would happen on time, but I admire your commitment to the themes! Even if two of the looks sound terribly ugly. The original Barbie swimsuit is brilliant, though. Staging - 2.5/3 - It sounds great overall. I was laughing at the idea of her getting sucked up into a floating party spaceship during “Starships.” Sure, why not?! My one concern is the opening segment. Spending nearly the first five minutes in that studio space, before the performance opens out into bigger settings, runs the risk of feeling constrained. Final Score: 9/10 Avril Lavigne Music - 4.5/5 - Opening with “Rock N Roll” is exactly the kind of unhinged I wanted from this challenge. Does anybody know that song? No! Is it secretly one of Avril’s best, a total banger that kicks off the setlist with just the blast of energy we need? Absolutely! That was inspired. I also have to give you major props for the concept audio. Even if it wasn’t perfect, it really helped me visualize the section with Joan Jett and Olivia Rodrigo, and I’m here for it. After that is where things deflate slightly for me. It’s not that it doesn’t work, but there’s something slightly jarring about having two extended ballad sections with “Sk8er Boi” in between after the high-octane first half. “I’m With You” is a beautiful closer, but maybe it would have helped to swap it with “Keep Holding On,” which would offer a more anthemic ending. Costume - 1.5/2 - For an artist like Avril, I’m not really expecting costume changes. One well-chosen look probably would have made more of an impact, since half of these outfits are ugly or don’t feel up to the Super Bowl Halftime Show. But I guess she needs to get in her Abbey Dawn promo. Staging - 3/3 - I could not stop laughing at this entire thing. Thank you all for thoroughly entertaining me with this nonsense. I almost wanted to deduct something for that unnecessary final slide making excuses. But no, I enjoyed it too much. Final Score: 9/10

Delirious Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 You know I was gonna put a lot of Kylie songs prior to 1999 but the problem was she has too many good songs to not use. We were really considering to adding the locomotion because it's her debut hit but it didn't fit sonically into the setlist and I personally didn't really like the song. Also I feel like putting more new songs makes Kylie look less of a throwback act and more of a now act if you get what I mean

ATRL Moderator Element Posted March 13, 2023 ATRL Moderator Posted March 13, 2023 Welcome to Tribal Council! You MUST answer your question(s) publicly in this thread to have your vote count. Your answer and vote are due by 10 PM EST on Monday, March 13th. Please cast your vote in the DM with the hosts using the parchment below. Remember you must include the name of the contestant you are voting for on the parchment! Let us also bring in the members of our jury... @touya kinomoto @Guero @Delirious - How was your experience at the Super Bowl Halftime challenge? It seemed like you were having a lot of fun with concepts! Do you think this challenge should remain in future seasons? @Stevie - You have now won individual immunity for three rounds in a row, and individual/tribal immunity for seven rounds! Do you feel like your fellow competitors are excited for you or could they be growing jealous of your perpetual safety? @TruGemini - Congratulations on your immunity tonight! How does having three people immune change the dynamics/strategy of this tribal council? @bowdown - Are there any factions forming in this merged tribe that concern you? Do you think you have a good sense of who is aligned with who? @Kylie Verzosa - You were very close to winning immunity! Do you have any words for the judges in response to just missing out on the first prize? What could you have done differently? @wish - With 12 people and potential idols/prizes remaining, there are a lot of moving parts tonight. What do you think the best players are doing to ensure they have the right information and are in the true plans? @Aurora - Which aspects of the game are you taking into consideration at this stage when you cast your vote? @fais_2311 - There are now 5 favorites left and 7 fans. Are you concerned that the numbers may be against you now? Or has the game evolved past that division? @kittenish - How does everyone's strategy change tonight with each person casting one vote, yet the top TWO vote-getters are going home? Is this the opportunity for a big move? @brycehooha - Last round, we saw Guero leave with quite a few votes. Do you think the people who voted for Guero will stick together tonight and pick off two outsiders, or could something more complex occur? @Luckitty - It seems like your team had some communication difficulties in the challenge, resulting in a pretty distant last place. @Taeyeon - You've found yourself at the bottom of the last two challenge rankings. Do you think you can rebound from these scores? Or do you think there are other aspects of the game that are more important than the challenges?
Delirious Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 ok ill start this round. i actually made an entire ellie setlist b4 hand and even the mp3 file before i realised that it wasnt individual submissions but team. https://www.canva.com/design/DAFc25kz0lo/z5n7fRxLVef0mr3ddkCiyw/view?utm_content=DAFc25kz0lo&utm_campaign=designshare&utm_medium=link2&utm_source=sharebutton I thought it wasn't right to do something I liked and the other 2 team memebers didnt like so we all came to choosing Kylie, and artist we all loved we admired. We had great teamwork together and it was quite fun asking for opinions on their must-add Kylie faves to the setlist etc. I definitely think it should continue because it really tests how much teamwork & positivity can really effect the outcome of your work + it tests your trust/reliance on your team members. I'm proud of what my team accomplished and am very thankful to have these 2 talented members create the Kylie superbowl.
Luckitty Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Quote @Luckitty - It seems like your team had some communication difficulties in the challenge, resulting in a pretty distant last place. I think we slayed, I don't really understand why the judges didn't like it maybe if we picked a flop artist we would've been #1

Or has the game evolved past that division? Oh come on, El. Don’t be too shallow. You need to look deeper than this. There are now 5 Khoranas left and 4 Matthaeis and 3 Nirenbergs. And there are 11 people left from planet Earth and 1 from planet Chromatica. There are so many ways to consider how the votes will go this round instead of that. Yeah at this point, people need to look beyond that. But if it is like what you said above, there are only 3 favorites can be voted out this round. I’m prettier than the other 2 and I always flopped at the challenges. Even people who wanted to throw challenge still can win against me. So keep me, 7 fans
bowdown Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 12 hours ago, Element said: @bowdown - Are there any factions forming in this merged tribe that concern you? Do you think you have a good sense of who is aligned with who? There definitely appear to be factions forming, though the borders and lines might be a bit more malleable than they appear...it's hard to determine if people are still loyal to their old tribal lines, or if new relationships formed from swaps, merges, or challenges will become the driving force for the rest of the merge....i think this vote should really draw some lines in the sand.
Kylie Verzosa Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Quote You were very close to winning immunity! Do you have any words for the judges in response to just missing out on the first prize? What could you have done differently? In my heart, we won. So I don't mind the judges being the haters they usually are.
brycehooha Posted March 13, 2023 Posted March 13, 2023 Amazing question and my answer will have to be that I don't know how many people voted guero last time like a lot so I imagine that maybe they could all stay together still yeah but complex things happen all the time in this ever changing game of survivor one day you're in and the next you're out or whatever Heidi Klum says but yeah hopefully no one votes me and may the odds be ever in our favor

Taeyeon DMd me their response due to ATRL issues: i'm only at the bottom because i'm taking a break from slaying and being the best like... it's sooo nice to give other people a chance for once. personally i think i've shined enough and it's everyone elses turn to enjoy good scores for once but i will be coming back soon! don't worry!
