But then, Pose drops into a soul-killing breakdown. The slinky instrumental goes along with the fashionable theme and the girls are game for the concept. Pose gets a few bonus points because its verses try to present something memorable. And just when you think it’s over, the instrumental shreds itself into pieces. It’s just bad “girl crush” attitude, reheated for the thousandth time. It doesn’t even flow with the rest of the track, nor does the group attempt to throw any real hook over the top of the obnoxious beat. Maybe the song would be more successful if it stopped at the verses, but The Girls stumbles into a god-awful drop chorus that feels like the epitome of lazy songwriting.

You deserved better than the producers gave you. I don’t have much desire to hear any of these songs again, so my ranking goes from “serviceable” to “borderline unlistenable.” Sorry, Queens. Both Queendom Season 1 and Road To Kingdom had a few stunning tracks, but last year’s Kingdom was largely forgettable. Over the years, the finale songs have been a mixed bag. These were pre-released ahead of next week’s performances, which means we can judge them on their own merits rather than the effects-heavy stages that will no doubt bring a healthy dose of visual bombast to the music.
As a supplement to my individual episode recaps, I like to take a look at the original songs that make up Queendom‘s finale.
