u/Cilliantove Apr 13 '25

I don't agree, Kori was giving more emotion!

u/slippery_hippo Apr 14 '25

Kori gives the same emotion as Joella does

I usually don't enjoy the smackdowns but I enjoyed this one. Everyone looked so "new" lol. You could tell they weren't frozen in time in 2024 and this was filmed recently. Loved that.

Amazing how they managed to find three songs I absolute despise to put there. But thankfully Kori's tits made it unmarketable for the kids who play that shit on repeat.

Is kori being set up for suzie to win cause he wasnt at all good with lip syncing in both of his performances....how the season 16 now to this season sighhh lana should have won all that like morphine did to give a good lipsync!

Yes Suzie ATE DOWN! But my favorite lipsync was Lucky Vs Acacia, they did the damn thing!

u/Cilliantove Apr 13 '25

Did she tho? I didn't like Suzie's performances that much tbh

u/slippery_hippo Apr 14 '25

Her pacing with emotion and timing of reveals was the most consistent of all the performances, and her movements were the most varied of all of the performances, and if there’s anything I’m tired of, it’s a queen does all their reveals at the beginning, or that does the same moves over and over for every song, or that starts at an 8 and stays at 8-10 the whole song.

Did anyone else notice only the queens standing on the right winning? Except for the three way with Lydia, Kori and Lana

u/brystc01 Apr 12 '25

Suzie ate and I loved her little dedication to the haters. 😏💯

  • Arietty did NOT win that lip sync

  • None of the girls really served much but I was just glad to see Hormona and Joella again

u/Cilliantove Apr 13 '25

I agree, there wasn't a lot of serve

3

u/North_Bag7895 Apr 13 '25

Arietty certainly should have

u/hissy- Apr 12 '25
