Woohoo! They finally won! Hope they win in the next battle~

No Stats?

Yay for Team A. I like B too but I want albums I can listen to.

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

I'm so happy for them;; I hope this will bring up their confidence.

For me, the reason why I support Team A more is that I actually like both teams equally. But if Team A doesn't win, there are members who might not be able to debut at all (Jinwoo because his family is so far away and I'm sure it's difficult for them financially or emotionally for him to be away and Mino because he's already been a Block B trainee and debuted (and failed?) in BOM once, if he fails as a trainee again, no matter how good he is at rapping, I'm not sure if another company will want to take him in or if he will really want to be a trainee again. Plus all of the Team A members are getting kind of old to be debuting as idols) whereas all of the Team B members really probably would do fine even if YG decided not to debut them.

Another reason why I support Team A a little more is because I'm really curious what they would sound like performing their own music but I'm not really interested in what Team B's music would sound like. I really wish they could just both debut though :\

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Whichever team debuts will end up getting some hate from the other team's fans. Yg better have a good solution to that problem.

Omg yeah!! I'm really happy for them. I know some might think it was rigged due to the way the show seemed A biased, but seeing how the voting was close idt that had much to do with it.

Either way I still feel like in the end it won't matter much because I think YG will do as he pleases and probably take a few members from each group to create one big one

It will be great.

Oh, and also, the more I see him the more I like Seunghoon. He is such a sweetheart (◡‿◡✿) And Seungyoon is a strange one.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

lmao yes seungyoon is suck a dork

[iglossmyeyes.livejournal.com]

i pretty much said everything in the last post but is anybody else disappointed by kang seung yoon? i really like his voice but he never shines in group performances.

if not for his ksuperstar solos i'd never think of him going solo.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

idk i think he's the one that always stands out the most in all of team a's performances

[aleexnews.livejournal.com]

Ugh B team is so much better as a while though, im sick of hearing the pity card being used for team A like yeah they're older and have waited a long time but they've had plenty of chances to get their shit together and they still dont seem cohesive to me as a group at all. They're also boring and fall flat to me in terms of personality.

I'm one to pick vocals over looks or over anything and ik b team lacks in that but honestly other than Seungyoon idc for the vocals in a team all that much either, I like taehyun's tone but his range is mediocre. Its not like YG would get rid of seungyoon since he already is a solo artist so I have a bigger loss with team a winning than team b because of B.I and Bobby. If anything im just praying yg debuts both groups as one, though it seems unlikely :/

[iglossmyeyes.livejournal.com]

ia with everything you wrote.

vocals are important fro me too (i stan dbsk after all) but imo a's vocals are overrated. seungyoon's good buut junhwe's better than both taehyun and jinwoo and he has way better stage presence.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

yes! i'm so happy that they finally won something

[reasontowander.livejournal.com]

LOL its actually kinda sad that its their only current win, but yeah I agree

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Is anyone surprised considering the screen time A Team gets? Anyhow, what I think is that if team A debuts they will be forever mediocre popular (sort of like SHINee in SM, popular but never truly on top) while with Team B it can go many ways if they debut as they are now, however, if Team B replaces couple of their singers with better ones they can be a top group rivalling Big Bang.

[towel-oppa.livejournal.com]

I agree with all that you said, but if they replace B's member, their unity might not exist anymore and they'll seem as lost as team A :/

[sayuai.livejournal.com]

Sad face...

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

ok, good for team A.
atm I don't think I can fully stan either groups.

I really want team B to find a another member with powerful vocals.
I don't like that there's 6 freakin' members and I can only rely on junhwe for decent vocals. junhwe is like a taeyang vocally, I need a daesung too! and I certainly don't rly want 3 dara vocals in one group! /shrug

[nimco.livejournal.com]

No no no ugh. I don't love BB for their amazing vocals. I love them for their performances and their energy. I wouldn't spend a dime to watch team A perform. Tbh I don't think YG would let them debut like this just like that guy Seungri lost to in the documentary. He was talented but his performance wasn't up to par. Plus the rappers are more important here not the singers. Team B are young and have more then enough time to develop. While Team A are like any other kpop out there. BB are not the greatest singers and were kinda bad when they debuted in that area but their debut performance was and still is one of the best. So yea I go with Team B. Haven't been this excited or intuned with another group since BB came out.

[ah-mui.livejournal.com]

Yep. Both BB and 2ne1 had great debuts not because of their amazing vocals but their not rookie-like stage.

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

Not surprising but I'm happy for Team A. I personally like A 'cos at the end of the day, i'd rather spend my money listening to their album instead of Team B - which lets admit, is only memorable 'cos of BI and Bobby. At this point its wiser for YG to just debut those 2 ala GDYB. Or YMGA (gahhh i love their album!).

[kuroxkitsunex3.livejournal.com]

Finally Team A won something!! my bbs ;;

As I watch the show I feel torn between the stage presence of team b vs musical potential of team a. I feel that if team A could gain more confidence and perform songs to their color, they could win on their own terms rather than on the tails of team B. I feel like Team A could challenge YG in their song production process and present the evolution of the company to the general public rather than team B.

My main problem with Team B is that other than Bobby & BI I feel like the rest of the members are dead weight. I feel like kpop already has groups very similar to the energy and image team B conveys (most similar to me is BTS) but team A has potential to bring something different and heartfelt to the stage, and I think thats why the general audience feels more for team A than for team B.

My last comment is that it feels like team A is a team with a lot of scars. Most of the members have struggled incredibly during their journey to debuting, and I feel like they seem so desperate because they have gone through so much to get to this point. None of the members of Team B have gone through the varied experiences Team A's members have gone through, so I feel like they can perform without burden, something clearly noticeable in Team A.

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

Your second point exactly, Team B is very generic compared to Team A.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

I'm glad for them!
I think my main issue with this competition is that If A wins and debuts B can train for another year with a good vocal coach and then debut and snatch weaves but If B debuts I doubt A will ever debut. The only way I see all the members debuting is for A to win. I'm sure YG would never not debut B. He clearly favours them hard.

[asteri5k.livejournal.com]

MTE I do wish team A would debut for that reason. IMHO, Team B would be /perfect/ in a few years time. More vocal training, more presence, more personality.

[asteri5k.livejournal.com]

BI and Bobby are so phresh. If the other 3 get more idk (vocal training?), Team B would be on point. Also they're in their awkward teen phase, they'll grow into their looks and find their style soon enough. Too early to debut for me.

Team A on the other hand, that's as good as it gets. They just need to get more comfortable on stage imo. That's it. Vocals are good. YG producers can help with their rap and composition. Personalities fit for variety. They're all cutie unique bbs.

[ocean-pig.livejournal.com]

Not a YG fan, but ...wow that really sucks that the more hip hop oriented group that all those competitions will not win popularity votes. Poor kids!

[vanhangels.livejournal.com]

congrats to Team A. :)

[hyeena.livejournal.com]

i'm having the hots for this minho guy (and i've heard i'm not the only one)

so yay for team a

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

I'm pretty sure Team A is gonna win the whole competition due to the public. With every win Team B gets, Team A was feeling more pathetic and they were losing morale. So I'm really glad they won.I'm hoping this win will give them the ability to relax and let loose a little because that is why they lack stage presence, they want it too much. They are too focused on looking perfect and the audience just can't connect with that. Taeyang gave them great advice but since they were too despondent over the competition, it just didn't translate well.


Oh & Mino sucks as a leader right now, he has been through this already 2x. He has experience when it comes to group dynamics, so I'm gon need for him to get his stuff together.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I honestly feel like YG has chipped away at Team A for like 3 years and killed their confidence. He doesn't seem so critical of the individual members of team B in comparison. And now they're expected to get it back asap but at this point they really need a good pep talk and Minho needs to bring them together. Hopefully he can do it soon and just zone out crocodile teeth bastard.

[soramai.livejournal.com]

I like team A but I also like team B. I wish they could both debut.

[dysphoriia.livejournal.com]

team b perform better, but only 2 of 6 members are interesting. team a, they feel like soloists put into a group but at least each member has an identity. i'm neither team a or b yet :/ too conflicting!!

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

YAY FOR TEAM A. I feel as though Team A is more suited for a debut instead of Team B but B is talented nonetheless

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

I don't think either Team is good enough or cohesive enough to say one is better than other tbh.

Both teams have some really amazing talented members, but the groups are pretty mediocre, oop.

And I don't think they stand a chance to rival some of the groups already debut, and I don't think Team A or Team B are the next Big Bang either to say that the YGE tag will take them a long way.

Things are not what they used to be anymore, having the SME/YG/JYP(lol) label doesn't make you automatically successful like it did a few years back.

[of-angeldust.livejournal.com]

yea i see people comparing team b with bts all the time and ?? idk if it's me being biased but bts is miles ahead of team b ???

[xfragments.livejournal.com]

ughhhhhhh nooo whatever, team b are always winners in my heart. the score was like neck to neck...i still think some of team a's votes came from people who felt bad for them. i mean, yes of course there's tons of people who genuinely like them better than team b, but some definitely sent in pity votes.

still think team a is not cohesive as a team...ksy looks the most out of place, he's just more solo material.

[pyocatz.livejournal.com]

totes magotes agree about ksy. someting bout him makes him seem really oddly placed in an idol group.
