Watching it right now - first thought: stupid behind the scenes cuts during the beginning.
Also, I noticed that I am now a lot more soft towards veterans who used to look too young to me or who I just didn't like. I guess I'm just happy about the faces they keep around. I did like the (bigger than normal) variation of hair styles and skin tones, too. Not all curls and spray - yay!
Ballett:
Candice's opening was fine, the music was powerful and the editing got rid of her nervosity, but it wasn't as energizing as previous ones.
Anja looked terribly bored. I actually looked at her outfit first because she and her expression were so dull... Great - two more looks to come and I already can't stand her (and the cutback to
Chanel singing to the music was great. I never liked her, but here I really get her appeal - she for one seemed to have fun)
Lily is a bad walker. She looks really stiff
Which is too bad since I actually like her looks.
Ale was great (cannot believe that, after years of disliking her she is really one of the best).
Chanel - I like her! She has energy!
Doutzen is lovely, though I still think she's too quiet for this. I just don't get "I have fun" from her.
Toni is a bombshell. No wonder she was shown for several seconds - love!!
And I love
Sui - she is so sweet and beautiful! And her looks is so... different than all the tanned blondes who I am already sick of.
Poor
Lais in that horrible outfit, but she managed to look gorgeous despite of it.
The one after that (?) was ok, I liked her outfit.
Miranda did well. we know she can do this, but again a lack of energy, somehow. Still, one of the best.
Karlie's exposure... Yes she's cute and all, but I don't see her in VS. I know she has the energy, but she does not have the body. She looks too much like these sketchings from a designer's first draft, and that's not a good thing for VS.
Power thing
Adriana seemed to have fun, which is great, a bid comic-ky but that's just her, I guess.
Lindsay is very cute. She worked that outfit.
Shannan will always be bland to me. Liked her more this time than in the previous shows.
Izabel was amazing. Nuff said.
Karlie is just a no for me. She is lovely, but... no.
Loving
Joan. Her and her smile and her face... Great!
The one after that... Looked too much like Iekeliene Stange for me, tbh, plus she could've used some volume in her hair.
I love
Behati. She is just great at this! And that even though she looks like the girl next door.
Anja looks like a mean stepmother.
Erin's wings looked superheavy. Still managed to smile, though. Hate her tan though!
Passion
Alessandra made the best out of it. Her wings were amazing and she does look great, but the music is too boring.
Candice didn't impress me here. Where did the spark go? Last year she was so much better?
Maryna was cute. Same with
Lily.
I love
Doutzen here. She looks like a warrior princess.
Not a fan
Julia. Never was, never will be, but hey, she has a belly button!
Next girl... Huh. Dislike. Not attractive, I'm sorry.
Lais is just SO sexy. Wow. But did you see how they censored her butt when she was walking back?
Flavia was nice to look at!
Adriana wasn't that impressive here (didn't like the outfit), but I loved her exit scene.
I love this little childhood thing, it's endearing and I guess that's what they made it for.
And I think Anne and Adam are cute together. Weird since she's not an angel, but whatever.
The creativity bit was funny - I mean honestly, they are ripping off designers from all over the world.
Rest later
