Agree with you about everything but Taylor was showing the outfit with the arms open.

 

I get you - but she did it in such a boring way.. Looks great on the pics, but looks bad in motion, with no energy or presence (my opinion only tho - her face compensates but still was expecting more energy from her)

Am I the only one tired of #BodyByIza ?

The fact that you're using that name for her, used constantly here, should really tell you you're not.

 

Can we please relax about the segments like the 'Hadid segment' that were sixty seconds max? 

It's fluff. You're going to forget about it in four days max.

I don't know why the notion that Gisele was the biggest model ever still exist. It's always backed up by Forbes financial numbers that she constantly says are false. She's iconic and definitely top 10 of all time but nowhere near the best. If we were ranking on skill she wouldn't be in the top 20. There have been many interviews where Adri has been asked about Gisele and here's a recent one in 2015 on Bloomberg. I just don't like that Adriana is being used to put Ale down. They aren't the same people and Adriana has been an angel far longer. VS loves them both and they both outdid all the other girls because they have 16 years of show experience. 

 

She answered the Gisele question as evenly as she did the questions before that. And she paused  before answering, as she did with all the other questions, because it was a video/internet interview which means it will take a second or two before the questions will be a fully transmitted to the person being interviewed. And nobody is arguing she gets asked about Gisele in interviews. 

 

And none of this even relates to the initial discussion. Ale third wheels to Adriana's career especially in VS. Simply pointing that out doesn't  make one a hater or what not.

 

And sis, forget Forbes, have you seen Gisele's portfolio?

Does anyone have the solo commercials of Sara and Stella? 

And it was only me who find the voice over the Stella perfume commercial the most awkward and weird thing?

Oke, it looks good on the pictures but reading your description is was poorly executed. I believe she copied that pose from 2010 the devil/angel segment, but don't remember that models name. Give me a minute.

Firstly I think that VS put a lot of trust in Josephine and she wasn't able to match. She use the swarovski and opened a segment, but she was better in the past years when she wasn't an angel yet, her walk was very slow and it seems she didn't know what to do with her arms, she was intimidated by Lady Gaga in MR and then played too much with Bruno Mars that she lost her timing and made the swarovski lose the highlight. That's mah opinion.

I agree with you that she was much better last year.

 Arms wide was Anja Rubink's style

While I'm here and bitchy, what a missed opportunity.

She was way sexier last year, this year she was just cute and cried a lot

So people really believe all these girls are really bffs and hang out all the time in real life? The only people I can think of who seem to actually get along in real life are Elsa and Martha, Elsa and Josephine, Romee, Taylor and Jasmine. I think Adriana and Alessandra are friends but both live in two different cities and that obviously makes it harder to hang out all the time.

I never thought Adriana and Alessandra are friends. They don't seem friendly to me at all.
Adriana and Lais perhaps.

Ale and Lily (their children have playdates sometimes together). Then again, Lily is 'friends' with everyone.

Romee & Taylor for sure are friends (they hang out privately all the time).

Jo used to hang out with Sara (and Stella), before VS days, but now she doesn't seem to.

I think that only Taylor and Romee are friends.

Overall comments besides the Angels I already posted: No credits for the Angels? Why?

The Road Ahead: liked the outfits actually - felt very couture and expensive

• ELSA for the winnnn! And loved everyone cheering for her before she opened! 
• Taylor and the crazy hands
• Maria was awesome! Loved the african outfit and the Afro her with it!
• Adriana super funny and slayed everything as well
• WTF that asian model screaming Kendall? She had a good walk + pose here btw
• Joan and the cape YAS
• I don’t need to see Yolanda 10 seconds, I’d rather see Doutzen…
• I think Daniela Braga is trying to copy Gisele’s walk but girl, stop trying…. 

---

Video about Paris - was cool liked it a lot! PS: Stella’s throwback is the perfect example of what a good agent can do to a career! What a difference!!! 

---

Mountain Romance: 

• Took a nap while Josephine was opening and blowing kisses
• Loved Sui pose! So cute!!
• Good bless Kelly’s boobs
• HAIR FLIP FROM #BodyByIza was the best thing! haha love it!
• Sara was just perfect here!

---

PINK Nation: the most edited segment, made me dizzy and didn’t even follow the order of the models because there was so much happening (I think there’s more backstage footage than runway). Apart from that really loved this segment! My favourite PINK I think. Most of the girls did well! 

• Favourites: Flavia O; Luma and the closing girl that I forgot the name.

---

Josephine Segment: Not gonna comment again - waste of screen time, ugh. Would rather have Jasmine here with her FB. Besides, will we have the "This wings are made to fly" song every year? Cmon VS, there are other soundtracks.

---

Hadid’s Video: VS can you please not? I still didn’t decide what is more fake: Gigi’s crying or Bella’s nose. Anyways this should have been something with the Angels and not them…

---

Secret Angel: my favourite segment this year! Music was awesome and overall all the girls were great!

• Adriana opening was the best thing of this show! WOW!
• Bella’s walk couldn’t be more boring. UGH
• Cindy was perfect - really liked her in both segments, and the wings are amazing
• Irina was good! Not amazing but was a bombshell like she is
• Georgia one of my fav rookies
• Sara was amazing! Great wings, great energy closing; amazing walk and super sexy! Initially I didn’t like the turn but I remembered Sophia saying it’s smoke and she would disappear in the smoke, and that is the effect  Sara did, I think it was awesome!

---

Adriana video: my favourite video segment!

---

Train like an Angel Video: seen that 10000x times; we get that they want to promote the VSX but it’s too repetitive IMO

---

Dark Angel: best outfits; super sexy! Gaga outshines all the models but she gave an attitude lesson to all the (boring) models on how to work the runway at the end haha. BTW the Hat was valued in $1M (Jas FB has competition haha)

• Taylor looked amazing but the crazy hands again were a bit disappointing 
• Gigi over did it in the pose
• Kendall was bad but a very hot outfit
• Lais was so hot here! the outfit was amazing too
• the others were good!
• Joan worked really well the heavy wings, and you could tell they were heavy AF but still she nailed it!

---

Angels video: finally a video that “promoted” the Angels! Loved it Good promotion for all the angels overall, with the HF and Commercial Crossover! (Stella’s Maxim was a bit of a joke tho)

---

Bright Night Angel: one of my favourite segments! Music was just perfect and the energy was awesome! 

• Stella was really great! Really like the attitude and the walk (except for the end-pose)
• Georgia YES
• Jasmine my absolute fav of this section! SO SO GOOD!
• Not commenting on Bella again, girl needs to stop overdosing on Xanax
• Dilone (is that her name?) was incredible! Great presence, walk and energy! 
• Lily was awful. Girl was concentrated on sucking the cheeks and forgot everything else. She should’t have closed the show, even a rookie would have done it better!

---

The Finale was so rushed we could barely see the angels in the end of the runway! 

 

Spoiler

SORRY for the long post!

The ratings came in, the show sunk to a new series-low of a 2.1, still the strongest show of the night, beating out 8pm show the Voice (2.0)

 

For a ratings perspective, here are this season's top 10 Shows on the demo: 

 

3.39 - The Big Bang Theory
3.36 - Empire
2.59 - This Is Us
2.32 - Modern Family
2.20 - Grey's Anatomy

the VSFS would be here
2.03 - The Simpsons
1.90 - Kevin Can Wait
1.89 - NCIS
1.88 - The Goldbergs
1.83 - Lethal Weapon

 

So it's not that bad considering how much broadcast ratings are falling overall.

 

 

I am still waiting on results that split the half-hours to see if viewers were drawn away or drawn to the TV screen. + The demos from 18-34 women, men and 18-49 women, men.
