Hello ANTM Fanatics!
Sorry for the delay in this recap, we are coming down off the high from our soft launch party at This Is London and expect to see all of you at our Official Launch Party for America’s Next Top Model Live on January 13, 2012 also at This Is London! Stay tuned for all the details and get ready to audition in person for our Sutherland Supermodel Search! Enter to win a chance to be a featured model on our Main Stage Fashion Show and possibly win an exclusive modelling contract with Sutherland!
Now on to last week’s episode! The girls are talking about Bianca and Kayla’s exit and Angelea talks about how she is the ‘spice’ in the show. Lisa is excited that she won the last challenge and feels she is getting what she deserves in winning lately. Tyra mail comes in the form of Madison, a cute little You Tube sensation who gives the girls make-up tips. She ends the message by saying that she hopes the ladies can keep a beat. The girls all speculate as to what the next challenge will be. Mr. Jay later arrives and tells the contestants that it is so important to build their star power and one way to do that is to go viral. He said they each will get a chance to write their own song and star in their very own music video. Tom Polce, who is the music producer from CBS Records come in and works with the girls to help them put their songs together. Lisa is excited because she is already pursuing a music career and feels comfortable about what is ahead. Allison worries that she doesn’t have a good voice and talks about how anxious she is.

| Lisa The girls have twenty minutes to hear their instrumental music tracks and write lyrics to their songs. Mr. Jay explains that the winner gets to see a loved one as the prize. Angelea’s song is pretty good and she has a decent voice. Alexandria writes lyrics saying she wants to ‘Go, Go, Go’ and I am pretty sure that she will be receiving a ‘no, no, no’ from the judges. Allison writes some really emotional lyrics and talks about her father’s passing in her song. She is overwhelmed and feeling a lot of pressure with this challenge. Tom announces that he was really impressed with Lisa and Angelea and he says that his pick to win is Lisa. Lisa’s fiancé comes to visit and she is thrilled to be able to spend some time with him. Angelea is frustrated and wishes Lisa would stop winning. |

The next day in the studio each girl gets to record their songs. Tom tells the models that Tyra wants each of them to include ‘Pot Ledum’ - that’s Top Model backwards in their song. Each girl tries to work the saying into their song. Lisa says that music is her craft and wants to go last so that the other contestants can’t copy what she does. Shannon is pretty tone deaf, but tries to be enthusiastic and puts her best effort forward. Allison’s song is hauntingly beautiful and it is so interesting to see her pull herself together for the final recording of the song. Dominique is quite fabulous singing ‘Booty Tooch’ but Laura seems to have a tough time singing in key. Alexandria feels that with time and training, she could become a singer. Lisa is phenomenal and blows it out of the water.

The following day the girls get to record their music videos and Mr. Jay drives up in a fabulous convertible and talks about the girls selling the visual to go with each of their songs. Famed rapper, Game shows up to direct the girls in their videos. Angelea goes into convulsions when she sees Game and is very excited to have him be a part of the process. Dominique tapes her video and has a real J.Lo, Beyoncé feel. She looks stunning in her video and really makes an impression. Alexandria comes across as very awkward and has a hard time looking natural. Lisa rocks it out and was born to perform, while Allison surprises Game with her weird beauty. Tyra shows up dressed in a leotard and pig tails ready to make a cameo appearance in each girl’s video. She is joined by internet sensation Keenan Cahill who has had over 100 million hits on You Tube and the both of them add comic relief to everyone’s video.
At deliberation, the winner is announced as Allison, with Lisa coming in a close second. Dominique also does well in third. The bottom two are announced to be Angelea and Alexandria and Alexandria goes home. All in all it was a fun-filled musical episode. What did you think of the girls’ videos? Which girl would you listen to as a legitimate artist?
Until Next Time My Glamazons!
