if it's true it will explain alot, but maybe she was just kidding

[Savanna]

^Is she promoting Herbal Essences? Because her hair looks like shit.

I liked this show very much, didn't change my mind and ON the runway everyone were amazing. I didn't like the opening at all, it was actually really bad, not even showed her walk good and she didn't even open it good, I don't even remember it, I didn't like British Invasion segment at all, only the music was good it fit so well.

Parisian Night is ,hands down the best segment! It had some "story" that show opening needed, so dramatic, Adriana opened it like a boss, simple and beautiful, all outfits were so amazing and music fit so well again, actually music fit so good everywhere even in Pink. Mess is still Pink, but music wasn't bad.

I wish they gave more attention to Alessandra, she really got nothing in this show

I wish they edited the walks better, I have feel there were few awkward poses and things they showed on the runway. Like Cara, should get serious sometimes, at least on the runway, she is too goofy, I like her, but it's really annoying, she acts like she is 7.

Show was great for me in General, I really loved the end how they all took a pic And as fan of Adriana, I couldn't be happier, they really gave her everything she deserved, for all her hard work, also in the Pre-Show, really showed that she is important to their brand, they presented her like role model to all other girls there, I don't know but she proved she is the true "queen" not Gisele, how some people still say she is.

8/10

Just watched it, here is my running diary diatribe:

 

• Candice’s waist looks really, really thin…
• I hate those gloves
• That umbrella isn’t really helping her walk
•  A footie outfit? With heels?
• Taylor Swift has really nice legs, who knew… I wish they could have made the contextual meaning of her outfit a bit clearer though!
• Suddenly I feel like playing chess
• Riding crop… I’ll be in my bunk…
• Whoa, LSD trip butterfly!
• Plaid? I’ve got nothing
• The quirky editing on this thing is a thing to behold each and every year.
• How can Adri’s accent still suck so much? She’s been working and living stateside for at least as long as Ale!
• Karlie = un petit peu stepford wife-esque there?
• Doutzen is a fucking queen
• Candice is either really tired or can’t be arsed with this interview BS. I'm going for the latter.
• Oh look, it’s Ed!
• Candice never looked better than in 2007, even with that weird-ass outfit
• Adri tries to sell excitement, fails
• Stepford wife returns
• Doutzen’s eyes *faints*
• Doutzy-woutzy, this is more like it!
• Piano dude looks like even his imaginary friends stole his lunch money
• Whoa slow-mo boob bounce… time for a drink
• Candice touched Napoleon Dynamite’s instrument!
• Karlie’s legs are spectacular, but that outfit looks like they wrapped her in a couple of rags…
• Director terrified of bringing butts into focus, which sorta makes the choice of panties rather unfortunate
• Go Napoleon, soar!
• Ale thinking that she is too old for this shit, but still sells the turn like a pro
• Aaaaw, dude thinks people are there to see him
• “Release Lily”? These people need to be protected from themselves
• “A really strong man”. So someone other than her boyfriend? Naughty Candice! Naughty!
• “I can’t believe you guys still have ideas left.” They don’t. Not good ones, anyway…
• Sophia sighting! *spits*
• Doubt I’ll have a bigger contrast in reactions after the Adri-Doutzen follow-up.
• Lais… Like a tall, cool drink of water in the middle of a desert.
• Ale again with the “fuck the walk, I’ll just nail the turn” routine
• When exactly did VS start getting terrified of showing butts on their fashion show broadcast?
• Cute smile Erin
• That Fitting Model Has The Fucking Eiffel Tower On Her Head!!!!
• Seriously!
• “This outfit could use a little something extra… how about we put a miniature landmark on her head!”
• Eiffel tower is stuck… that one will be tough to beat.
• Stepford Karlie “It felt like a dream”. Sure it did miss fembot…
• Admittedly, the way Stepford Karlie pronounced Champs-Élysées was super-duper cute.
• “Lais is simply amazing.” In other news, the sun tends to rise in the East
• They could have at least let her open with a slightly less ridiculous outfit… Thanks for nothing, Ed!
• Ale decides to half-try on this walk and of course nails it
• Erin with a coy little smile, saying “fuck this, I’m too good for this crap”
• “I know, let’s use peacock feathers in one outfit, just because!”
• BLUE HANDS!!!! I repeat BLUE HANDS!
• “Literally the rockstars of social media?” Wouldn’t actual rock stars be the rock stars of social media?
• Oh, I know about that, Candice… *looks around awkwardly*
• “I got this amazing outfit…” Wow, that actually came out semi-convincing…
• WTF is this???
• Whose coffee did Jessica Hart pee in to get that atrocity of an outfit?
• Fucking Pink, man.
• The ultimate short straw: an emoticon backpack…
• Director caught sleeping, butt semi-caught on camera. Damn son! You almost made it...
• “Taylor is this all-American girl, still somehow wearing the Brit-outfit from the opening section…”
• Am I the only one strangely aroused by Adri’s boxing montage?
• Too much Adam Levine *stinkface*
• Stepford Karlie… no one can stop her
• Candice… I’ve got nothing
• Some of these over-sized wings are really messing up the walks
• Doutzen looking like the White Queen
• Wouldn’t be a VSFS without the Adri’s heart sign… The Eurovision Song contest of VSFS traditions
• Adri with Candice to open the finale… So hows about something new for a change, eh VS?
• Stepford Karlie mom-dancing!
• The net gain for me after this VSFS is that I think I kinda, sorta find Taylor Swift attractive. Need to lay down and re-evaluate my life…
• Napoleon Dynamite and Taylor in the same frame! :brows:

Sympathyssilhouette Honestly, Why are you such a negative person ? were you looking at VSFS or only trying to find flaws in everything...?

I have to agree here, I'm not even the people you were talking about and I took offence...

I think she was kidding about the girls being kicked off the show (we would've heard about that) but not about a fight occurring. I bet Erin was one of the girls involved in it. When she started mentioning it, it reminded me of how after you get into an argument, you vent to other people about it, and then she realized that it would not be a good thing to share to the media.

If I had been completely bored by it, I wouldn't have gone through the trouble of listing my random PBP thoughts.

[SympathysSilhouette]

In a more serious critique, I do think the show needs to be revamped. The last three editions are pretty interchangeable, and that is putting it mildly.

[sarnic]

Overall...

British Invasion- I loved Candice's opening. I thought she had energy and was a lot better than the first time she opened the show. Barbara F. has an amazing body, loved Jourdan Dunn again this year. Hated Karlie's outfit and Kasia really surprised me. She has a killer walk.

Shipwrecked- Doutzen's opening was beautiful. I felt many of the pieces blended together. This was the most boring section for me but Constance did amazing with those big wings at the end.

Parisian Nights- The girls seemed to really get into this one so it was fun to watch. Adriana and Doutzen at the beginning were flawless. Kelly looked beautiful for the few seconds I saw her.

Birds of Paradise- They were super dramatic leading into Lais opening. She's so beautiful though. I would love to see her as an angel one day. Erin was awful in this. It was so obvious she didn't want to be there. Even if she isn't an angel anymore she is still living the dream of so many models to even be in the show I love Hilary but they really did seem to make sure and show off those blue hands. Magda was amazing in this. I really liked this segment.

Pink Network- made so much more sense in motion. The outfits were still ugly but the girls were having so much fun and they had, for the most part, younger girls who really fit the theme. I loved Josephine. She looked so good for her first time there. And ELSA Make that girl an angel. She is stunning and her body, just wow.

Snow Angels- Adam can you stop? Again didn't like Karlie's outfit (or dance ) Lindsay looked like a pageant queen. Constance, Candice, and Behati got beautiful outfits. My favorite in this was definitely Maryna. She was missed last year and she kills it whenever she is there

My favorite newcomers: Josephine, Kelly and Kasia surprisingly.

Favorite to return: Maryna, Hilary, Elsa, Lais

Favorite angels: Candice and Doutzen

Lol I thought SympathySilhouette's commentary was funny 

 

Martha's ducklips at 0:45 of the holiday commercial...girl...  She wasn't particularly a standout for me in the show either. They did horrible things with her hair and makeup in that preshow, too. Why was she so orange? But VS seems to be obsessed with her I guess this is just the beginning 

[GeorgiaGirl]

British Invasion:

Although I liked the song and how Taylor and some of the girls interacted, It was honestly my least favorite segment of the show. It had a little of too much going with the performers and the random shots of the audience and backstage (I mean do we really have to see Adam over excited ass and Adriana praying backstage like she is about to perform heart surgery or something, like girl you just walking), I didn't care for hardly any of the outfits, and Candice opening was pretty underwhelming, I actually preferred her 2011 opening more. 

Best: Candice, Adriana, Barbara, Cara and Lily  

Were nice, but could have been better: Candice, Behati, Karlie, and Cindy

 

Birds Of Paradise:

One of the more better segements of show imo. I like that they touched on the whole Lais not walking last year thing due to hurting her ankle but the whole thing was a little too dramatic for me.But I'm glad Lais got the chance to open although I feel Ale would have been a much better opener for this segment. All the girls did pretty good( although Erin gave off weird vibes), some of the outfits were nice, and the performers weren't in the way that much.

Best:Lais, Ale, Maria, and Joan 

Were nice, but could have been better: Jac, Magda, and Izabel

 

Shipwrecked:

This could have been a nice segment but they ruined it with all that unecessary and radom slow motion and shots of the audience. All the girls seemed underwhelming besides Doutzen, Ale, and maybe Karlie and all the outfits and poses started looking the same.

Best:Doutzen and Ale  

Were nice, but could have been better: the rest of them

 

 

PINK Network:

Although the outfits were just straight bad and tacky and they should have def let Elsa finally open, I actually really enjoyed this segement suprisingly. It was fun, upbeat, and the song was nice too. And I'm glad the performers weren't in the way that much.  All the girls did pretty good and made the best out of their tacky outfits especially Jac, Ming, Elsa, and Jessica.

Best:Jac, Elsa, Ming, and Jessica  

Were nice, but could have been better: Sara and Malaika

 

Parisian Nights:

I actually like the song and pretty much all the outfits were nice and sexy for the most part. Adriana did good opening, Lais Doutzen, Barbara, and Joan looked mad sexy, and all the other girls did good as well although WTF at Cara's pose, Erin still giving off weird vibes, and they messed up Kelly's walk and pose with the messy editing.

Best:Adriana, Doutzen, Lais, Barbara, and Joan    

Were nice, but could have been better: Kelly, Jourdan, and Ale

 

Snow Angels:

Behati did a pretty good job opening but I'm getting too tired of her and Adam's over the top ass already and VS feeling the need to show every damn time she walks.Taylor did good although she was doing the most with all those neck turns/snaps and hair whipping and troubl just didn't fit the segment. The girls were nall nice and the outfis looked beautiful except maybe Karlie's.

Best: Behati, Karlie, Adriana, Magda, and Lily A       

Werenice, but could have been better: Candice,Toni, Sui He, Maryna, and Lily D

 

The outfits and music were def better than last year's and 'm glad the models were more of the focus this year, but they were doing the most at times with the editing. A lot of girls walks and poses got messed up due to all the messy editing and unecessay and radom shots of the aundience and  backstage. And the show really seemed lack luster this year to me, even some of the girls looked tired and out of it this year (Doutzen, Izabel, Erin, Hilary, est). And I'm suprised they didn't focus more on Candice  this year especially since she got the FB bra, Adriana and Behati seemed to be the main focus out of all the angels and once again Ale gets no love , but homegirl still looked beautiful and rocked almost all her looks imo. And although her walk is still a little iffy Lily A really stepped up her game this year and Lais was really nice as well.

 

I'll give the show a 6/10.

In a more serious critique, I do think the show needs to be revamped. The last three editions are pretty interchangeable, and that is putting it mildly.

Oh god they have no idea how nasty some of the comments from Baron, Limer, PC, Claudia, AnaBBFan, Myself, Whitney and a few others could be.... actually they're only nasty in their opinions, I like to call them being brutally honest.

 

SS SHAME ON YOU for not sugar coating everything.

 

Members you shouldn't piss in the cornflakes of your overlords.

I am so waiting for your thoughts Pretty please hurrrrry

[Prettyphile]

I've only watched two and a half segments of the show so far because every time I go to hit the play button someone seems to call, or my husband needs me to baby him (he's got a nasty stomach flu on top of an ear infection, cold and bronchitis ), I'm recovering from what my man has, or real life is like "FOCUS ON ME"...  I can give you opinions on what I saw so far if you'd like.

You poor thing. I hope you feel better. And you know us guys when it's happening to us, the world is ending. So your full attention must be given to him.

Take your time. I like to let the anticipation build lol.
