THE ARTIST — S1E6

Hello everyone! We are approaching the final stretch of our competition, and tonight, after the results are revealed, we will find out who the six semifinalist artists of the season are. So, without further ado, let's get to what matters most. This round's theme was: ALTER EGO Every artist has a side that most people never get to see. While they are often known for a particular sound, style, or image, the best artists are capable of much more. In this round, their mission was to reveal their artist's alter ego by choosing a song that showcased a completely different side of them. 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 1 credit https://l1nq.com/e8gwmkl yemaja - Florence Welch — Spent 3 credits https://sl1nk.com/qpuph5c MusicLover - JoJo — Spent 3 credits https://sl1nk.com/vkf8wwd AlakazamKing - Linkin Park — Spent 3 credits https://l1nq.com/rxi06yd Maris - Ellise — Spent 1 credit https://sl1nk.com/93ns9js kitty - Madonna — Spent 5 credits https://sl1nk.com/id33nrj Fancy - Ava Max — Spent 5 credits https://l1nq.com/blehqwc To read the judges' full critiques, visit: https://kovaze.com/group_thread/361 Now, here are the scores awarded by each judge.

Congratulations to the six semifinalist artists! 🚨🚨 One final twist is about to be added... welcome to the semifinal twist 🚨🚨 THE ARTIST — CALL-OUT CHALLENGE Semifinal Twist For this round only, videos must be submitted privately to my email, and I will explain why. When submitting their video, each artist must challenge another artist. If the challenger receives a higher score in the episode, they earn 10 bonus points. If the challenged artist receives a higher score, they earn 5 bonus points, while the challenger earns 0 points. All challenges will be submitted in secret and revealed simultaneously in the next episode. This twist is designed to create one final shake-up before the Grand Final. Choose wisely. Important notes: The result of each duel will be based only on the scores from this episode (round 6), not on each artist's accumulated total score. The same artist may be challenged more than once; the choice of whom to challenge is completely open. Is it worth challenging someone at the top and trying to close the gap before the final, or is it better to challenge someone lower in the rankings and increase your chances of reaching the final? The only thing we know is this: to perform well in these duels, artists will need to choose their next song wisely and aim to earn the highest possible scores from the judges. At the end of the next round, we will add together the episode scores, the Call-Out Challenge bonus points, and each artist's accumulated score. The top 5 artists will then advance to the Grand Final. Stay tuned — the next theme will be posted in the group very soon.
