Not bad this year<3

I could not watch from start, did they do segments on the other Angels or just Candice has one?

Just Candice.so happy for her she deserve it

At the end it turned into the Candice Show. They are definitely prepping her to be the next 'Adriana Lima' per say.

Something was really lacking about the show this year...I can't put my finger on it. I feel like it wasn't as 'fun' as it usually is. And the performers in EVERY segment kinda killed it.

I agree... and I'm not sure what it is either. I didn't really find the segments in between as much fun and maybe that's it? I'm not sure.

I thought the show was really boring. Even I who love all the models and am genuinely interested, I found myself getting bored. It started very cool and high energy, but then went down.

As predicted, the performers were OVERKILL. Especially Rihanna at the end. The performers should be there to make the girls shine, not to overpower them. Rihanna, I'm sorry to break it to you but you aren't a runway model; do not try to close the show with that horrendous walk.

Bruno Mars was by far the best performer. He kept his distance, still interacted, and put a lot of energy into his performances. Bieber was just annoying and could not sing live.

Overall something was just...lacking. The editing was too quick too. They kept changing camera too much.

Ok, a couple of surprises:

1. Bruno Mars was perfect for/ in the show above all

2. Standouts tonight: Barbara P., Jourdan, Candice (body, not in presence), Magdalena.

I thought I knew what/ who I was going to enjoy.

Oh, and I really wish they would change the individual that edits the show. Sometimes I feel like I barely saw the models come down the runway.

I thought the in between segments were ok. At least it wasn't just "Describe the other Angels" again. I could have done without that long video on Candice though.

It could have been a good show if they showed less of the Performers (especially Rihanna) and more of the models.

 

[AustralianaBoy]

Some of the models were really lacking personality, especially in their walks.

A standout for me was Madgalena! She worked that runway!

And maybe show more lingerie next year?

 

[Zann]

I was entertained but I do think it was too much of Rihanna and Beiber. The people I watched it with literally said "ugh not them again".

I liked the segments a lot actually. Rihanna's song choice in the last segment was HORRID. Did not fit what so ever! And I love how they left out any mention of the bra when it was out on the runway. Is VS contracted not to say anything while the thing is out ON the runway? sheesh.

I can already see one direction next year during pink. if that is how VS is going to market everything now then I am sure its viewer's gold

 

[Gabriel29]

Does anyone think Bieber's solo performance was INCREDIBLY dull?! I literally could not even watch it. It makes me miss Usher's amazing performance in 2008 or even Kanye's last year.

 

[nrllaless]

And maybe show more lingerie next year?

Yeah, even my sister who isn't into models/fashion/this kind of stuff at all, and was studying while I was watching the show, commented that the actual lingerie got lost in all the costuming.

 

[nrllaless]

I can already see one direction next year during pink.

Yep, I called that upthread somewhere, LOL. I'll be shocked if it's not them.

 

[Gabriel29]

Circus segment was the best for me. Best music (loved the remixes, very 2003), it actually showed the models WALKING (not just posing at the end). Great line up too, had all the major girls in it. Plus it was very high energy which I liked.

 

[Zann]

I think Tom and the VS people thought that if they bring back thigh highs, it will count/look like its all lingerie

 

[pen6693]

CIRCUS, was the best!!!!
The opening was the most exciting.
The models looked over-tanned.
Bieber wasn't bad.................... Bruno Mars was great, I loved the whole Erin drama in the beginning.
They absolutely dissed Cara. Only showed her for like a second.
Magdalena in Silver Screen Angels was just the most flawless thing I've seen, the whole transition to the next model was perfect.

I wish we'd had more segments like Circus. Love the remixes and miss them. Too many performers this year. Three performers and a performance in every segment but one is overkill. Bruno Mars was perfect though but it should've been only him. He fit the show so well and let the ladies shine.

Not sure about the runway being so big but the backdrop was really great. It'd been boring in recent shows so that's an improvement. I just want to see more of the models and their walks! It felt more like a concert this year than a lingerie fashion show

I hope Doutzen gets to open the show next year or gets the fantasy bra. She really shined. Loved Behati too. She transitioned to mainline so well. Wish we'd seen more of her Calendar Girls walk/outfit.

 

[Zann]

who spotted Karlie during calendar girls? She was there for a good 2 seconds in the background and for a second there I thought VS was gonna pull a big one on us and show her but then they cut straight to Barbara and I was like aww missed opportunity.

The show is on YouTube... except Circus, SSS & the finale.
