Loo 5,708 Posted February 8, 2015 Share Posted February 8, 2015 I was moved by Grace's sincerity in her singing this time although vocally she wasn't that good in this stage (in fact, quite bad at certain parts). and then I feel bad for Jimin as well. To be honest I think if she could memorise her lyrics, her stage could be equally as good as Son Ye Ahn's. Ye Ahn's stage was just average in my opinion. Singing is average, dancing is average, performance is average. But anyway, personally I would've picked Grace, but I understand why they chose Ye Ahn instead. On the other hand, the 2nd battle was... errrm.. I don't know, disappointing? Sparkling Girls were predictable.. not the kind of stage that I'd really like to see over and over again.. and then I felt like Seunghwan was in a mental block situation again (like when he had to perform with the ajusshi in the grouping stage) which is a pity. On the other hand, I thought Sohyun did relatively well? *sighs* but overall I didn't find the 2nd battle interesting at all. I neither like nor hate the first two contestants who managed to get into the top 10, which makes this episode quite boring for me. Can't wait for the next one! I felt the first battle was average too, Yoomin had a breakdown, but the other 2 were more or less similar. I feel they chose Yean as number 1 because they trust Grace will make it in the second round (don't really know how to call it). Yean seems kinda weak under pressure, but that might just me. And Yean fits the Kpop Star mould better, she'll definitely be picked up by a company (if not YG/JYP themselves if she stays long enough in the live rounds) and debut in a girl group. I definitely didn't agree with the second round. Sohyun was the best performance for me. They kept Sparkling Girls because they couldn't put Seunghwan in number one after that performance, and Sparkling Girls are more entertaining/exciting/bringing fans than a shy solo singer who seem almost sorry whenever she gets some spotlight. I feel sorry for Sohyun, she is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted February 9, 2015 Share Posted February 9, 2015 I think one of the judges once said if people are looking to win by talent than this isn't the show. They are really looking just for idols (with the exemption of the couple of contestants who just shine they can't be eliminated (like Jimin, AkMu, Seungh Hwan as none of them fit the idol mold)). In the end - this show' main purpose is to serve as a platform for the contestants to get recruited by both big and small companies - a visual portfolio in some ways. You might be a little too annoyed by the show right now, I don't think any judge ever said that... They might have said something about not looking for "technicality" or "finished product" or something. I don't have the right words but I really doubt it was "talent". The contestants they select are talented, just not technically (for many but not even all of them). They choose contestants that are promising, that show something they would like to help grow and see bloom later on. Don't forget many Kpop Star contestants are VERY young, it's obvious their skills can't be all mature just yet. That's what the show has been doing from season 1, look for promising young people with a little something "different" rather than ready-to-debut people, and yes, it is to give spotlight to them to get recruited, but that's the purpose of all talent shows. There are people who participate to win and people who participate hoping to be seen, what's wrong with that? Basically, I understand your point of view, I think everyone understands it by now, but there is no need to constantly bash the show. If you don't like it and prefer SSK, then don't force yourself to watch both. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted February 10, 2015 Share Posted February 10, 2015 (edited) Grace Shin was so bad singing Gayo. Sparkling girls were so boring, should've tied for 2nd. Rapper girl would've been good tv rating for the live shows, the producers putting her 3rd meant they wanted her to move on too. Looks like Three Siblings is not breaking up... Hong Chanmi and Sin Jimin should be soloists, the other girl is useless. TOP 10: 1 boy, 7 girls, 1 girl group, 1 band (so obvious at this point) Jung Seung Hwan, Park Yoonha, Lee Jinah, KT Kim, Esther Kim, Lily Morrow, Seo Ye-an, Kang Puer, Three Siblings, Sparkling Girls *Seo Ye-an cannot dance, not enough time to stick her in the girl group, YG will not be signing her. I think so too, if anyone, I think JYP has a higher chance of casting her, he has lots of trainee teams where she could fit. Or YHY if he wants to give Antenna their first GG with Kwon Jinah? xD I can't touch this topic as my opinion is well known. It will be interesting to see post-Kpop Star 4 who gets recruited because it isn't always obvious and the success they will find. We can't even judge all the season I contestants as 5Live hasn't debuted yet. It's sometime so weird who gets recruited and who doesn't... A lot of contestants are recruited because of timing (meaning a company is preparing for a group in the right age range) or because they're young and companies know they can just integrate them in the trainee system and find something for them later on. Then again, I didn't understand why Bae Minah didn't find something, or I missed what company recruited her. She was quite young and promising for me... Who YG can take that KPOP STAR 4??assumptions? Obviously Lilly M. I think Na Soohyun could make it too if she can stay long enough and make one memorable performance. I think Sparkling Girls have a high chance of disbanding after the show just like YouU, so maybe Erin Miranda too? YG also has his eyes on Jung Seung Hwan, I don't see Seung Hwan choosing YG, but we never know... I didn't expect AKMU in YG either^^' Edited February 10, 2015 by ÛµLalilooÛµ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 no one is signing Na Soohyun, she doesn't have the looks. it's the same everywhere in the entertainment biz. If Jung Seunghwan want the $300k cash for winning then he'll win and pick YG. If he expresses to the producers he doesn't want to sign with any of the 3 companies, the show will let him come in second, and he'll probably sign with mystic89. Lily Morrow will sign with YG or go back to Australia. Her parents are very involved in her career, her mom and aunt in Korea know YG is the wiser choice, Lily likes JYP as a person because YHS is creepy as fuck but company wise she'll listen to her parents. Oh please Soohyun is what 15? If she gets recruited, looses weight and has make up she'll look as pretty as any idol out there. She'll never be a visual and so what? And YG is known for not recruiting based on appearance... There are so many examples of contestants who looked average during their show and became super pretty right before their debut/during their trainee days I don't think Jung Seunghwan will sign with YG, but YG wants him so we never know what he'll put in his contracts to lure him in. And I already gave my opinion on Lilly. I personally don't think she understands what signing to a Korean company and being in the dungeon as a trainee for years means, but again, YG wants her. We'll see what happens once the show ends anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted February 11, 2015 Share Posted February 11, 2015 (edited) uh, Park Boram although chubby, had very pretty features even on SSK2, kind of like Kang Puer. Eunbi was also cute-pretty on SSK2. Na Soohyun, she's 14 btw, has got nothing, eyes, nose, skin, body, yes I know it's unfair but it's reality. YG will debut Lily as a solo, she won't see the dungeon. Hayi is kept there because she's gaining back weight and now has braces. Lily's looks are already perfect, Lorde 2.0 imo, she wrote the lyrics: I think Jung Seunghwan went into the show thinking the best scenario would be to get into TOP 10 and sign with Antenna Music. Then he blew up and his dream is now uncertain, in EP 11 he clearly says this, which means now he's deciding between going indie or signing with YG. ?!? I'm kinda shocked right now, I don't even know what to say. Hayi is in the dungeon as a solo, but she promoted not so long ago with AKMU Suhyun, and both said when they're not promoting, they eat what they want and do strict dieting right before a comeback (and Hayi was better at it than Suhyun). And what if she has braces? I think you look too much at the idol world and not the music industry as a whole. There are many talented singers out there who are not visuals, and sure who don't make headlines like idols do, but who live off their music just fine. And I don't know how you say with such certainty that YG will debut her solo and not put her in the dungeon. Do you work at YG? As a fan, I can see how all YG acts are in the dungeon for extended periods, and trainees especially. AKMU won Kpop Star, they had to debut within a year. Hayi was only second but with a popularity similar to the winner, waiting to debut her was risking to lose that. Just look at Yedam, Seunghoon, the SuPearls disaster (and soon Chaeyoung and Hanna)... Realistically speaking, if she is any less than top 2 or even if she is, since she is so young, the chances of going to the dungeon in YG compared to debuting within a year are much higher. And it's the same with JYP... Edited February 11, 2015 by ÛµLalilooÛµ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Just watched and: 1st battle: Feeling bad for Pureum, but then again, it made it easier for the judges. I don't think they planned on having her in the top 10. She has a very nice voice though, I love that OST, and she did a very nice cover. But she was obviously not at ease. Weirdly enough, I hope she gets picked up for a girl group with retro feel, like Wondergirls or Ladies' Code. I don't think she can make it solo but I want to hear her voice again. I was thankful to JYPE for Lilly's styling. So often it goes quite off in the 3-battle stages, especially younger contestants have had ugly stuff but it was ok. And she improved a lot in Korean. BUT really bad song choice, she herself felt uncomfortable with it. I think she fits a somehwhat indie-pop sound more. Since u been gone is rock-pop and felt so weak with her... I'm biased, I love that song. So so happy for 3Siblings. I was so sure they'd be eliminated. They were good! My Hong Chanmi is going strong :D And the younger girl was good too, but I still think the other two are better as solo or maybe as a duo? The piano-guitar was nice and well synchronized. It wasn't fair not to select them as 1st. This is YG's doing :( I get how Lilly is his favorite, but to me, 3siblings were clearly better this round. I suppose they were starting to get scared if all the spots were given to the dark horses and not their favorites. 2nd battle: Na Soohyun: Underwhelming? I don't know, I wanted her to do something unexpected and good, but I guess she was shaken up a lot by what JYP said to her before about not going for technicality but for emotion and thus tried pure old gayo... Yoonha: I think she should sing something like IU's Mia or Cruel fairytale, something a little more eerie. It would suit her I think, basically something orchestra+voice would sound awesome with her. BUT still don't understand why the judges praise her so so much. Anyway, obvious winner this round. The girl-boy duo: Underwhelming as well, but I haven't been into them much so... Not the most interesting battle so far... 3rd battle: I liked Esther, as always^^ I could see her try hard sometimes to keep her notes "straight" and not do rnb ad libs but, she did well. Sorry I don't know the original song, but I think she did well in grabbing an emotion and controlling it. Might not be the "Korean" feelings that have been emphasized by the judges in previous seasons, but I liked it.Lee Jinah... Sorry... Can't judge. It's not her voice that is annoying to me (I mean I love the Japanese singer Chara), it's her piano. It really feels like a pianist singing rather than a singer using piano to accompany her singing. I think that's what bothers me so much. The melodies in her songs are too strong compared to the singing (+weak lyrics? I don't know for this song but I checked before, I can't really relate, it's a bit too... cutesy?) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted February 19, 2015 Share Posted February 19, 2015 I love this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KKUMfQzil3Y I'd certainly root for Sam Nam Mae if they do more covers like this one Yay! xD I'm rooting for Hong Chanmi since episode 1, I'll be rooting for SamNamMae to go as far as possible in the competition so that hey get recruited quickly later on. I don't think they're winner material though, and I don't think the group will survive after the show because I feel the group is kinda unbalanced...

Loo 5,708 Posted March 11, 2015 Share Posted March 11, 2015 Najin did go solo actually. She didn't release anything yet as far as I know. I thought maybe Najin didn't like the direction the group was going or what the company was making them do so she decided to leave? I think the other two could have done pretty well without the new addition. That girl is dull & awkward as hell. She was in the top18 of season2 but why don't I remember a single performance from her? She's that forgettable She was in groups throughout the show, that's probably why you don't remember her. You remember Soojin? The one who was in season 1 and came back in season 2 with a shaved jaw? That girl was in her group when they sang Wings. That's her most memorable performance to me. In the top 18, she was put in a group with Kim Dongok and Lee Jinwoo, two of the amazing voices of that season so she was kinda overshadowed, still she kept moving on and failed the top 10 in a duo with Kim Dongok. She is pretty good for joining the Shorties, because her forte is harmonies and group singing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Loo 5,708 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 I think it would be interesting if YG takes Katie and releases her in a duo with Lee Hi. The killer soul duo from YG... Usually producers try to select different voices for a group, so I don't really see it happening, but because their voices are so similar but the way they sing is different, it would be interesting, I feel...I still hope YG will recruit Esther and put her in his gg, that's the only one real possibility I see and wouldn't mind. But she's already back in the US, I don't if it's a sign that she won't be recruited or if she went back because of school and will wait for offers there.I don't mind if he takes Lilly either, but I'm pretty sure we won't see her for at 2-3 years if she gets recruited, she'll be in training. Or it will be like Shin Jihoon, she'll get to debut soon but won't be promoted much and will end up disappearing from the main scene.I see Yean in Starship (they're looking for people too) and Seunghwan in Loen or Antenna. Lee Jin Ah in Antenna or Mystic89. I think Grace will be a little like Andrew Choi, release something in a small company and be mildly successful before doing something behind the scenes. And Yoonha is such a JYP-type of artist to me, probably the next BAY :(I hope JYP takes Hyesoo (and actually promote her or give her lots of OST, she has a suitable voice for Korean ballads <3) and YHY Ada Wong to train her in the basics for a couple years before releasing her solo, and Hong Chanmi (or if Chanmi goes to Mystic89 I'm happy too). Tbh I've really lost interest since all my favorites are out and most of the top 10 were not really entertaining to me, even if they have good voices. I haven't watched for a few weeks now ^^' This is based on my previous impression of them 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted March 29, 2015 Share Posted March 29, 2015 You're very optimistic. A good portion of the people mentioned getting recruited? And by the Antenna/YG/JYPE? Doubtful. Some may end up like that girl on MINT or like the gloom girl whose sister was on Kpop 4 (a bleep on the Kpop radar). But this season wasn't very impressive as I still see it as they eliminated good singers (too early) in the casting round. Season 1 was phenomenal. Season 2 a bore. Season 3 was good as there were handfuls of good talent. Season 4 might have started with some hope and decent contestants but has declined and is turning into Season 2 (but worse since AkMu at least charted well). And unlike other shows Kpop Star doesn't show much gender bias when it comes to a winner. Both female and male solo and co-ed duo won so it is really up in the air. Will they follow the trend and pick the Korean American (or Korean who hasn't lived their whole life in Korea) Katie or break the mold and go with the more traditional Korean who sings emotional ballads Seunghwan or very artsy, off the road (great composing/horrible singer) Jinah. Maybe I am xD Usually the top 10 of Kpop Star get recruited, but probably not by big agencies like the ones I named. Even if their songs are not charting quite as well in the previous seasons, I'm sure they'll get recruited anyway... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted April 1, 2015 Share Posted April 1, 2015 Not sure if you guys watched this, it's Na Sohyun on The Voice Kids Australia. She was pretty good but why wasn't she as noticeable in Kpop Star? is it because she decided to change her 'style' ? She didn't change her style because she wanted to though, JYP especially really pressured her into doing this, saying that showing those vocal abilities was not what he wanted to see, he wanted to see the emotion. If she had kept going with the technique, she wouldn't have gone quite as far as she did. Still think she had a lot more potential, I mean she changed a lot listening to what the judges told her, she could have grown even more, and out of the awkwardness and pressure, but the judges opinion of her was never a favorable one after her first audition, probably because she didn't completely agree with the judges and said so... I used to think Kpop Star was looking for the contestants showing great potential or quick improvement more than the ready-to-debut ones, in this season I was left quite dumbfounded tbh...

Loo 5,708 Posted April 5, 2015 Share Posted April 5, 2015 I THINK that it's a new thing that the winner has to choose their company during the finale? don't quote me on that, though. Maybe it's to prevent the contestants from pulling an AKMU and releasing music on their own, without a company. unpopular opinion - I love Lee Jinah's voice and think that she would be just fine singing her own songs, if that's what she wants to do. I suspect though that if she finds success after the show, it will be in a YHY-as-Toy capacity; she'll sing one or two songs on her own album but have other songs done by guest artists. I also find her compositions very versatile, and I think that a lot of them get lumped in as samey indie pop because of her vocal tone. I hope she does well; she's got a fan in me. (Ooh, What potential 6Mix members are from KPOP Star? Are the Chae sisters old enough at this point? Or is it people from the first seasons?) Chaeyeon has been named as one of the participants in the 6mix survival show, so her, maybe her sister too. I think that's all? I don't know of any other Kpop Star girl contestant going to JYP who hasn't debuted yet... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted April 8, 2015 Share Posted April 8, 2015 Suzy could sing the worse song in the world with a cold and she would still get a heap of endless praise. Once you reach a certain stage and emassed a strong fan foundation they will pretty much support that idol regardless of what they do or release. Their past success for the most part contributes to their current/future success. It is actually one of the few issues with Kpop I find frustrating as talent takes a backseat in some cases. And I am not saying Suzy isn't talented but her place in Korea pretty much ensures anything she does it look upon favorably. And I would have liked to see Baek A Yeon as Seunghwan' partner. JYPE was the only stage that didn't use a Kpop Star artist/contestants for collaboration. JYP used his trump card... The last time he used Suzy (post-popularity surge, she wasn't that huge during Kpop Star 1) was when he really wanted AKMU to sign with JYP (remember Chanhyuk fanboying over Suzy?). Giving the duo with Seunghwan to Suzy pretty much means he wants Seunghwan.... I'm most curious about who Seung Hwan will pick in the end, whether he wins or not.

Loo 5,708 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 (edited) Hm. Seunghwan will go with YG likely as JYPE has shown that with a very beautiful gem (Jimin) was given to them and she may get more song releases (than Lee Hi/YG Kpop contestants) but the promotions while decent wtih 15& has proven to be very low and barely visible for Jimin (and Bernard). It is telling when JYPE has 2 Kpop Stars winners yet really doesn't promote them well. I prefer JYPE artists over YG but you can't miss JYPE missing opportunities to promote its artists. Hopeless Love was/is beautiful yet no presence on music shows?! Disappointing. So while my heart would pick JYPE my business savvy side would scream YG. Antenna is too unstable/small for my brain to consider them yet as a contender. Actually I wouldn't say it like that. YG was good with Lee Hi at first but since then it's pretty much the drought. On the other hand JYPE might not have gotten as much attention to Jimin, but she has been consistently promoting since her debut, gaining in popularity and getting gigs. Small ones, but regular ones. As of now, if I had to choose a company looking at the long run, I'm not sure YG is the best bet for someone like Seunghwan. Since he doesn't compose for himself, I would go either to JYP or Antenna. With JYP he'll get more public interest, but he won't have as much freedom in song choices and musical orientation. With Antenna, since they're are so small, he will receive a lot of attention and focus from the staff, and he will have more opportunities for comeback when he pleases than at YG or JYP. Seunghwan is (so far) someone who does wonders when he feels right with the moment/song/situation. I think freedom of timing and schedule would be an important factor. If that Kpop Star popularity is used correctly, big or small agency won't matter. As long as he sells well and gets public interest, he'll be able to continue even with a small company like Antenna... EDIT: And look at BAY, with artists that don't sell too well (compared to the idol teams of course), JYP doesn't care much. If Seunghwan isn't an instant hit, considering he doesn't have much left to learn like Jimin who probably spent lots of time with JYP pre-debut and win his attention and love, I'm not sure JYP can work out for him either...

Loo 5,708 Posted April 9, 2015 Share Posted April 9, 2015 I think it'll be better for Seunghwan to lose and join Mystic or Leon, they suit him better imo But Antenna will be a good choice for him, small company but it's somewhere full of musicians and YHY has connections, He got Kwon Jinah to feature with Sung Shi Kyung!! I'm sure he can get Younha or IU to sing a duet with Seunghwan if he joins his company. It'll be his break-out Since you brought up BAY, I don't like how JYP seems to have abondoned her He should push her a little more, get her to feature with some big name. It's not like she lacks talent... She the new Joo... At least Joo now signed with Woollim, we might get to see more of her. I hope BAY will change companies as soon as her contract ends. The treatment she gets atm really isn't anything you would expect for her, looking at how good and popular she was in Kpop Star. + I really hate how she gets pushed into shows with 1-2 members of Miss A, dances with Miss A, is in teams called "Miss A". If JYP thinks she belong to that team that much, he should have just added her in their team >.< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted April 10, 2015 Share Posted April 10, 2015 She danced with Miss A?? How did I miss that? Lol BAY can sing better than half of JYPE's artists and she doesn't have stage fright so no she's not the new JOO, she's so much better I know she does OSTs occasionally so maybe she can land a good song in the near future? :( I meant the new JOO in terms of amount of promotion. And she participated in Dream Team with Miss A and dance to hush with Fei and Min and was in the team "Miss A", I was really dumbfounded...

Loo 5,708 Posted April 12, 2015 Share Posted April 12, 2015 Katie picked YG since - A. She was with him since the beginning (casting) B. She might not get a lot of music releases but if/when does she'll be promoted extremely well (similar to Lee Hi) C. She has a fan crush on Sean 5. YG has shown her favor since the beginning and while she will probably be promoted as a solo she'll likely also have some stages with Lee Hi. Ok, I don't mean to bring the debate here, so I'll just keep it at that, but you should really read what's been said in Lee Hi's thread. She has not exactly been promoted extremely well... Besides BB (and maybe 2ne1 at some point), most newer YG artists are not promoted well. They have very short promotional time, it's very exclusive and limited to a couple shows (like YHY sketchbook) and weekly music shows... Winner finally got something after all the fans complained, and they did a promotional tour for their fanclub, but before that their debut promotion was a real joke... The thing you get from going at YG is image+influence (and fair income distribution it seems), just my opinion... 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Maybe out of the topic but last year's top 8 contestant, Jang Hanna, has been featured in Sean's MV (Sean is the YG's artist that Katie wanted to see the most). Tbh, I could not recognize her at 1st and it's fun to see JJS and HaHa in this MV. Haha <3 (see the gif in my sig^^) Hanna was one of the ones I was rooting for in season 3. I knew she wouldn't win, but I'm happy she got recruited and is going to debut anyway. Just like Hong Chanmi, Hyesoo or Ada this season, I'm keeping an eye on them and hope they'll get recruited^^ Btw if anyone is interested, Abigail Kim from season 3 (the girl who replaced Hanna in 2minute), didn't get recruited, but she is graduating this year and got accepted into Berkley. And Chloe Cho (Yoon Kyung, the Korean-American in 2minutes) is uploading covers on her soundcloud, as far as I know she didn't get recruited either, sadly :( Couldn't find Kim Soohyun (3rd girl from 2minute), her name is too common and the fact that she is full Korean makes the search harder, I'm not fluent :( Edited April 15, 2015 by Laliloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 Oh so Yoo Kyung is doing covers? I'll check them out later, I was sure none of those girls would get recruited, not because they lack talent (they're at least on Jang Hanna's level. ) but none of them was hyped despite doing well in the audition. Hanna hits the jackpot because YG liked her at 1st glance lol Abigail was one of my favourite contestants, her timber is very nice and she works hard to fix her shortcomings. I wish them all well I loved Abigail too, she was just unlucky in the group making. She was basically put there to highlight Brody, never to shine for herself. Why Abigail and Yoon Kyung didn't get recruited by a at list a mid-sized company is a mystery to me, they were both perfect girl group material after a little training. They both have good voices and could dance if taught imo, are pretty... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted April 15, 2015 Share Posted April 15, 2015 (edited) Ada? Seriously? She was noticeable less talented than 98% of the other contestants. I can even argue she was worse than Dancing Girl. To be honest, I think you should be less extreme in your choice of words. More so when international contestants could read this, because One Hallyu is one of the biggest international kpop forum out there. What you say is hurtful. If you don't like her that's your problem. She is not responsible for the judge casting her further into the show while the contestants you liked, sorry the contestants you say are good, didn't go further. I liked her voice and how she interpreted the songs. I do agree she was nowhere near the level of winning, but if she gets training and debuts in a few year I'll definitely have a good listen. And I absolutely don't see what's wrong with that. I think we debated enough about that before with Seo Yean (who has a name, yes!) I don't see the point of bringing the debate back for Ada this time. Kpop Star is not Superstar K, it's not the same judges, the same skills that are looked for, the same type of contestants... Everything is different, you need to stop comparing both shows just to say one is crappy and the other is good. The goal of both shows is not the same, or there wouldn't be 2 shows. As simple as that. Your criteria for selecting a contestant you think is good and for whom you want to root, is only vocal power. Now Kpop is not only about vocals and we know it. I'm not into kpop only for good voices, like a good 75% (if not more) of people into Kpop. There is a whole package that is sold with a kpop artist, and it's not limited to his/her vocals. If that means she's a "filler" for you, I don't care. Not everyone can please the whole world, it would be boring if it was possible. You can not like her and I can like her, but I don't see the point of bringing her down here. There is a bashing thread for that, and btw rant thread too, they're here to get all that out. Not the show's thread. Sorry if that comes out harsh, but at some point, really, it's got to be enough. Edited April 15, 2015 by Laliloo 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted April 19, 2015 Share Posted April 19, 2015 Both made the best choice imo. But I think it'll be a lot of pressure for YHY. Lee Jinah could be their in-house composer Seriously, YHY can make very good ballads for JSH and maybe even get him a duo with IU!! They'll both hit the jackpot lol Agreed, in the 3 agencies, Antenna was the one that fit the most with imo too. I'm curious how Antenna will handle their first winner. Seunghwan will debut within a year, I hope he'll develop well ^^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Loo 5,708 Posted May 6, 2015 Share Posted May 6, 2015 Park Yoon Ha to feature in the last track of Kim Sunggyu's second solo album http://www.allkpop.com/article/2015/05/sunggyu-releases-last-track-info-for-his-upcoming-solo-album Did she get recruited by Woollim? Actually any recruitment news from anyone else than the top3?!? The only thing I heard is Lilly is in talks with YG and she started following his IG...

Loo 5,708 Posted May 29, 2015 Share Posted May 29, 2015 (edited) Park Hyesoo was recruited by Sim Entertainmentcr It's home to Uhm Jung Hwa, Uhm Tae Woong, Joo Won... Not bad, but more of an acting company than music company, interesting choice. I hope she won't give up singing for acting though ^^' Edited May 29, 2015 by Laliloo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
