THE ARTIST — S1E5

Good evening, everyone! We've officially reached our fifth episode! We're now just two rounds away from finding out who our five finalists will be. This round's theme was: **HIDDEN GEM** The best song in an artist's catalog isn't always their biggest hit. This round challenged our contestants to showcase a true hidden gem—a track they believe deserved far more recognition than it received. Additionally, as announced in advance, the credit cost for this round was doubled. This meant contestants had to be even more strategic when selecting their videos to avoid spending too many credits. Now, let's take a look at each contestant's song choice and see how many credits they spent this round. dailyicon - Magdalena Bay — Spent 6 credits https://l1nq.com/fj5esqn yemaja - Florence Welch — Spent 6 credits https://l1nq.com/kpvbm4z MusicLover - JoJo — Spent 6 credits https://l1nq.com/tzkx1ua AlakazamKing - Linkin Park — Spent 2 credits https://l1nq.com/ygbfyj6 Maris - Ellise — Spent 2 credits https://sl1nk.com/ciulb4x Seong - NMIXX — Spent 6 credits https://sl1nk.com/0bawfbq kitty - Madonna — Spent 20 credits https://l1nq.com/nwr1i0y Fancy - Ava Max — Spent 2 credits https://sl1nk.com/ozftf28 To read the judges' full critiques, visit: https://kovaze.com/group_thread/318 Now, here are the scores awarded by each judge.
