I really woke up at 7 am today and watched the show “live” when it was broadcast in the US. I have seen a better version by now, so after watching it two times I am ready to share my opinion with the rest of the world. I have a lot to say so I think I should make a lil pro/con thingy….lets start with the negative things:

Unfortunately my hoping and praying that they fired the editor of last year didnt work. The editing sucked AGAIN. During the walks, there were so many cuts that I got a headache from watching it, which also gave the appearance of a very hectic atmosphere. Moreover the editor took backstage parts from the first section and edited them into the last section (do you think we dont notice???) , which makes the show look very unprofessional. Another thing that didnt change is the “models on drugs” posing, waving and blowing kisses. Adriana and Alessandra couldnt keep their arms down, which is soooo distracting and looks tacky! Doutzen, Heidi, Selita…stop blowing kisses dammit! Even some of the non angel models overdid it again, one funny thing is that Angela Lindvall who is known for her exaggerated walk admitted that she did too much when she came backstage xD I thought “Thank God you admit it!!!”. Most outfits looked great but oh my god….poor Julia. Julia Stegner closed the Ballet Des Fleurs segment wearing huge spiderweb/rose wings and they must have been extremely heavy coz Julia looked as if she will collapse any second. Shouldnt they be able to make the wings of light fabrics nowadays?! For the first time ever, Lara Stone was part of the cast this year. Just two words: NEVER again. She scared the hell outta me!!! She looked horrible, as if she will beat up anyone backstage. Something that made me very sad, KK had some wardrobe malfunction again. Why does it always have to be her? Something with her last outfit was wrong, the zipper didnt close and you can see how upset she is about it. It was especially sad because there are rumours that this was her last VSFS…and if so…then this wasnt a nice last moment for her. The last thing I’m gonna complain about is the useless “Who is Victoria and what is her secret” blah. When you have to edit a 80 minute long show to 40 minutes, NO ONE wants to see 3 minutes of celebrities talking shit about something they have no idea of. But yeah….thats part of the baaaad editing.

Alright…lets come to the things I liked: Two sections really impressed me. The PINK section and Ballet des Fleurs. The PINK section with all those young aspiring models like Sarah Stephens and Candice Swanepoel seemed so fresh and fun. Behati was hilarious in that lil model skit before the segment started, she has so much energy and self esteem and its just fun watching her. The Ting Ting’s “Thats not my name” was a perfect choice for PINK too and everybody seemed to sing along and have a great time.Flavia closing the section…perfect…she’s awesome. Now, Ballet Des Fleurs was somehow the exact opposite of PINK. It was so romantic and elegant, the outfits looked gorgeous and the models finally calmed down a lil (except for Doutzen) while roses were falling from the ceiling. Again, the music choice was very good. Chris Brown’s “With you” kinda stopped the show from being too crazy and fast. Other songs used in the show were The Killers “Human”, Kanye West’s “Love Lockdown” and two songs by Usher. Heidi, Marisa and Selita got a lot of attention this year, which is ok, I just wished they had shown more of Miranda. She was such a cutie as always, perfect walk, stunning smile….I love her. I am sure there is tons of stuff that I forgot to mention, but you must be tired of my rambling anyways…just check out the show yourself and give me a comment below about how you liked it!
