Sorry for the lack of Music Core posts in the past few weeks. MBC stopped uploading performances onto Youtube, so I'll have to make do with the lower quality videos (which are often cropped into weird dimensions to prevent takedown). I hope you won't mind!

ONEW YOU ARE KILLING ME WITH YOUR SILLINESS AND CUTENESS DURING THE WINNER ANNOUNCEMENT! butpleasedon'tstopIloveit

shinee's always flawless ♥ i love onew's rendition of the scream.

although come on, guys, you were doing so well with your outfits :(


argh i wanted to embed a MR-removed performance of wss from yesterday but it's been removed :(

[itsprincess.livejournal.com]

omg im so tired of jihyun's uselessness. like she cant even handle her 2 second part like r u ferrealz.

[fantaesticbaby.livejournal.com]

ikr, 4minute would be exactly the same without her, perhaps even better.

MFTE
Like if you're are going to be completely useless at singing/dancing then at least be a decent performer..............but she can't even handle that.

[obeytheempress.livejournal.com]

i think jihyun's cute but IA she's kind of useless within the group. same with sohyun :(

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

Sohyun is working it in WYN though, she's so cute in the beginning

[sballet06.livejournal.com]

Sohyun and Hyuna are my faves this promo So much energy and look like they're having fun esp Sohyun <3

Completely and utterly obsessed with Bom Bom Bom right now!!!
Such a perfect spring song

[achan123.livejournal.com]

shinee's semi-improv dance looks soo fun!! :D
and they sound AMAZING!

[achan123.livejournal.com]

and T-ara's vocals are so weak :/

[archenemy02.livejournal.com]

I actually think this is one of their better performances lol. They're all pretty audible and don't run out of breath in between (but areum needs improvement that's for sure). Hello Venus was good too. Secret and 4 minute on the other hand were very weak

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

secret sounded better than t-ara in both songs they performed tho so idk what youre on.

[archenemy02.livejournal.com]

I find that secret tends to do better when they're songs are louder. They can belt their notes pretty well. When they do soft cutesy songs like this they tend to sound very restrained and drift into the talk-sing category. Hana also sounds especially squeaky here. The lead vocal does her job well (as usual) because she handles the chorus/pre-chorus stage and that part fits into what she does best anw. I just think they can do better with their material

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

oh I definitely get what you mean (Poison lives were amazing) but having heard their MR removed, I think it's mainly cause the pitch for YooHoo is much higher than their normal pitch, which they're not used to except Jieun. Overall I think their technical skills & general live/performance skills are much stronger than both T-ara and 4min, it's showcased better in their ballad stage (Only U).

shinee bbs so colorful *3* onkey were on a roll~ :D
lol minho you covered key's face with that album when he wanted to be in the picture, u gunna get spanked tonite! 8D

[dorawa.livejournal.com]

aw yay! good i like bounce :D

[steelsigns.livejournal.com]

All I hear in WSS's group parts are Onew, UGH HE'S SUCH A PERFECT NAMJA WITH A WONDERFUL VOICE AND AWESOME STAMINA I CAN'T STAND IT. Why are they 18th though ): My sis jokingly said coz' there's no Jonghyun.

I was happy when Psy didn't win.

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

I wish I could find it in me to care about shinee without jonghyun
