Not much of a rap fan (though I went through a rap phase in high school) but Ha Min Ho’s team sounded great. Though, it was weird seeing blurred Min Ho across his team mates fancam. Like a ghost was passing by. O_O
Get Ugly was amazing, no surprises there. 😀 😀 😀 Im so excited for the full performance!
Spring Day, just ok. Not wow.
Downpour… I can’t find Jaehwan’s fancam but I like it! Felt a bit like the rest were backup singers to Jaehwan and Sungwoon (?) though.
I finally gave in and watched the performances for Downpour and Spring Day.
Yeah, watching Downpour left me a underwhelmed, and I agree that it definitely seemed more like Jaehwan and Sungwoon ft. the others. Minhyuk left me a little wanting, especially because I know his range and expected more out of him (but that probably has more to do with part distribution than his skills). Jisung was okay, but Hyunbin’s acting was awkward and extra (but the fangirls ate it up).
For Spring Day, I was very pleasantly surprised by Takada Kenta’s vocals (but he’s always been a favourite of mine along with Samuel for his skills). I’ve always loved Woojin’s pure and clear voice – it’s too bad about his voice crack. Jinyoung also surprised me with his vocals – it seems like he’s gained a lot of confidence since the first performance. Seonho did a good job with his sweet vocals and his keyboard. I’m disappointed with Yongjin though. Hopefully someone will compile the fancams for BoA’s Amazing Kiss before the next episode airs so I can comment on that performance as well.
Ahahaha, welcome to the dark side! (Well, in a good way…)
I really try to ignore Hyunbin & the rabid fangirls. I dont hate him, I loved SorrySorryTeam2 & I acknowledge his efforts there but he’s just not ready for this. Someone called a youtube commenter a b*tch & a rat just because of an honest observation. I could also hear Hyunbin better at Minhyun’s fancam, where he sounded i dunno, ok? at the first part but was really choking up afterwards. I just feel it’s unfair if he makes it to Top11 because he “improved” in 10seconds of song when other trainees who are equally not trained to be idols like him, and yet have significantly more talent than he does. But hey, what do i know? I can’t vote, so poor me. 😀
I love Takada Kenta! 😀 LoL.
Theres some weird rumor floating around Youtube that Woojin’s voice didnt crack in the actual performance? (since the fancams are a mash up of rehearsals & actual performance) I cant believe mnet would actually do that tho. I mean, they can be evil, but are they THAT evil? I guess we’ll see on Friday. O_O
Most probably just a rumour. I love your practical approach to Hyukbin. I try to keep a positive yet objective mind about all the trainees (at least I’d like to think so).
I think ur more objective than i am! haha, i think loyalty to faves coupled with personal preference is unavoidable coz thats the fun part of being a fan, but breaking it down to real objective matters & standards is … illuminating? refreshing? something like that. 😀
