Hello All Stars!!!
Welcome to your First Elimination this cycle. I don't want to waste any times so let's start our judging session now!!!
Team Mode
Amber ~ The Prima Donna
Camilla ~ The Sweetheart
Lea ~ Calm Girl
Natalie ~ The Natural Beauty
Olivia ~ America's Bitch
Taylor ~ Daring Dreamer
Emilie: Marilyn Monroe reborn. And I thought that was supposed to be Michelle. I think this photo is a good choice for Prima Donna, personally. It screams class and wealth. Much like the classical prima donnas that you mentioned before. But for your explanation, I don't see egotistical, but I do see vain. This woman is obviously a woman that cares about her appearance, and her odour. I love the fact that the eyes are closed, and yet it still gives a lot of power to the shot. I think with the eyes open, it would be a weak shot.
Yoona: I really like this, Amber... I think you executed your Persona really well. I love the concept. Very good. I think the style reflects a "Prima Donna" and the pose is great too.. Good job..
Amanda:
Norma Jean was a hell of a girl
This screams her, feels like her, works for you
Antiquity adds more than it takes
The closed eyes raise up the stakes
A "Prima Donna" you are, it's true
My only gripe: Perfume makes me hurl
Emma: I like the vintage feel of this shoot, and the hair and makeup are absolutely brilliant. The outfit is also very snazzy, and I think you nailed the theme. Great work!
Emilie: I see sweetheart. I see loveable best friend. However, I do not see model! Unfortunately, this looks more like a random photo taken by your best friend at a picnic. That aside, your head looks like it's been photoshopped onto the body. I'm sorry Camille, this just isn't working for me.
Amanda:
This is way too safe and I don't like it
It seems candid which is not what we want
Your eyes are awkward and too very slit
The smile is like a laugh at a taunt
Hats and all, I cheer for you, that you know
But this isn't what we want on this show
Yoona: I get the Sweetheart vibe but I don't Cammy.. This photo just screams "Amateur-ish" for me. I think you are a gorgeous model but it just didn't reflect in your photo. The angle wasn't great either
Emma: I agree with Emilie, this sort of feels a bit more forced and canon than model-esque. But I think you definitely have a very fresh look and the whole photo is still gorgeous. Nice work.
Emilie: What is "calm girl" supposed to mean anyway? I wish you would have told me.
Not only do I see "calm", I see "boring". You're flatlining with your calmness. Unfortunately, though I love a beauty shot, I do not love this. I think you've missed the mark. Boring theme, boring photo.
Amanda:
Calm or not, it's about the pic
What you have here, I just don't know
I see your snout before all else
It's still good but the hand... no
This doesn't deliver so hot
Yes, you're gorgeous but that's it
A real persona would be better
This is okay - it is not shit
Yoona: People used to call me a Calm Girl. So I do get it why you choose "Calm Girl" as your Persona and I think you did good this week. But yes, it's quite boring. I think, your persona kinda restrain you. I mean, it's hard to bring all the energy into your photo since you're the Calm one here.
Emma: I'm ambivalent on this for a few reasons. The first one is that calm isn't really a great characteristic. I understand why you went with it, but it's pretty bland. I also don't really see calm in the picture. The hair is pretty frenetic, and not really all that calming. Other than that, it's a nice pose and I like the facial expression.
Emilie: When I hear "Natural beauty" for the name a photoshoot, I expect I simple, clean beauty shot to showcase all your amazing features (Like Kiera's covergirl shot, you know?). I'm disappointed I couldn't see that, but I can see why you'd choose this photo of Natalie acting natural. It's really one of two ways this theme could have gone. Like some other submissions this week, I feel it's a bit candid, but I think you've done a good job of looking candid and natural, and not look like a hot mess.
Amanda:
This looks natural, though candid
You are relaxed and just being you
But it's generic and just good
It should be a bit more lively too
You know I do like risk-takers
And, yes, one you definitely are
You're safe for now, but step it up
Stay like this, you won't make it too far
Yoona: I think you can do better than this, Natalie. It feels too simple and I don't like your styling very much but I can see the potential in you. I really like you smile though, Very natural..
Emma: I like the simple and naturalness of this shot, and ordinarily I'd say it's a little too safe, but that's really the persona more than anything else. I think it's definitely natural, and the outfit is cute, so well done.
Amanda:
"Bitch" for a model? Bad idea
It really isn't what we want here
Is this you and who you want to be?
The persona alone, and that leer...
I hate to say, but I don't like it
It's almost trashy, in a bad way
I want legs! Hair! And Fun! Show us you!
Okay, I have nothing else to say
Yoona: I really like your face here. I think your expression alone is very strong. You really look like a bitch here. Hmm, I'm a little bit torn about your styling here. I love the Upper body but not really with the lower one. I agree with Amanda, Little bit trashy. A bitch doesn't necessarily have to go with trashy style. There's a Classy Bitch, you know.
Emilie: Bitch skank whore. That's what first came to my head when I saw this. It's not a good thing. If you noticed the ANTM personas, all of them were positive. This is negative. You want people to remember as a stank bitch? This is not a good look.
Emma: There's definitely a bitchy element to this photo, and I like how you chose a risky concept here. The hair is very good for this, and I like the strong pose, plus the facial expression is absolutely perfect. Nice work.
Emilie: I think you are one of the few girls to hit your persona and the only girl to really get the meaning of "persona".
As for your photo, I love it. It looks like you're day dreaming, but at the same time, you're keeping your intensity, and even though it's a profile, you're keeping the model. It's soft, it's beautiful, it's enchanted and dream-like. I can see hope in your eyes, and I think that hope might just be founded.
Amanda:
This is it, the best for last
My, time sure flew by fast
You know what you are doing
For you, there's no booing
A persona this is
And it works quite well
You're still a model
And you'll give them hell
I don't like headbands
But that's just me
Everything here works
And you're home free
Yoona: Taylor, This is wow for me. I didn't expect this at all and here you come with this photo. I love your Persona. Really love actually. You are one of the Winners and you really set the bar for the First Photoshoot.
Emma: This is excellent. The whole photo matches the persona perfectly, and the outfit complements it very well. Great work!
