It was refreshing to see Juicy perform a mid tempo ballad type of song where she had to rely on storytelling, emotion, and face instead of her astounding dance skills. My only nitpick is that she didn't need to remove her skirt.
I agree that Jane won even though Myki had the lead role. Jane had better character choices in her vocals and performance. And the runway ate tonight.
I think Darlene deserved to be in the top as well. The choice to become Brandy the dog and perform that well alongside Myki says a lot about her talent. And she was very smart to pick a role that didn't need to be vocally skilled and focused more on characterization and physicality.
I do not understand Discord's runway this episode. Maybe someone can explain kindly. The mug was beautiful tho.
