I found out that some of the models have portrayed the same celebrity that was portrayed by other contestants in the past cycles.
Grace Jones by Cody (23) and Xiomara (2)
Xiomara wins
Madonna by Courtney (23) and Laura (18)
Laura wins
Beyonce by Coryanne (23) and Eugene (7)
Coryanne wins
Britney Spears by Paige (23) and Brooke (7)
Brooke wins (She got the best photo in her cycle!?)
And imagine Xiomara was mad about portraying Grace Jones and she had one of the best pictures!
shareCourtney wins, sorry. I always hated Laura's interpretation of Madonna
The rest I agree with..however, Cody 's Grace Jones is still amazing.
Why do they keep using these same old icons. Why not switch it up?
Britney Spears? Really? Madonna? BORING.
They could change it up a bit and go for newer icons. I don't like Taylor Swift, but if they are doing a boss theme, then she's the one I think of who is in complete control of her career. What about Rihanna? Jennifer Lopez? Cara Delavigne? Or even Kim Kardashian?
Of course everyone loves Tina Turner and Grace Jones, but they could keep it more relevant. Or at least not use celebrities they've already done from over 10 years ago.
True with your picks. They are more up to date. I think that they picked Grace Jones because they thought that Cody could pull her off. Maybe the only ones that should have stayed were Beyonce, Katy Perry and Tyra.
shareThey could have picked Janelle Monae...so many alternative up to date icons or potential icons.
Honestly, the Britney and Madonna choices were so annoying. Britney is not a boss in charge of herself or her career. It's a sad situation, but she does not represent any of that. She is a performer who would be living a normal life if the people around her didn't feel like they couldn't milk her for cash any longer. Madonna's image has been oversaturated on our screens for decades. It's no longer edgy and quite safe as a choice.
I like Beyonce as a choice...even though they did her years ago, because she's a completely different icon than before. I would have even liked to see Solange over Beyonce if they really wanted to take it there.
