When YG told Team B that they would have to do JB's Baby*, you could practically see Team B's insides dying. Oh well, they tried to do best out of bad situation, but you could tell that wasn't the song they wanted to be performing there (especially B.I and Bobby). Anyhow, YG really wants Team A to get them audience votes considering how much nicer song Team A got. Plus Koreans love ballads. And he doesn't either have to worry about international kpop fans voting for Team B much considering JB's Baby is one of the most hated songs outside Korea.

*I wanted to smack YG real hard at that very moment.

idg how A lost this time....

seriously?! i'm waiting for the subs to watch the full episodes but ... seriously?!

Did Team A's attractiveness multiply by tenfold or something. And this is the happiest/most laid back I've seen Seung Yoon in a while (when performing that is). I would LOVE if they debuted with a sound similar to Geeks. It seems to fit them really well.

Baby is a guilty pleasure and the performance was cute (Junhwe's vocals are sooo nice) but Jinhwan's voice made my skin crawl and the raps felt out of place.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

SEUNG YOON'S THE LEADER NOW?! Idek I love him but I wanted Mino to get a chance to prove himself as one. Heck, I'd nominate Seunghoon as a leader too.

[lilmissniza.livejournal.com]

I love how Yoon Jong Shin smiled when Seungyoon started singing. Actually I was smiling like a goof, too, throughout Team A's performance. Seungyoon FINALLY sounded good in his usual range and he really shone in this performance for me. I guess they finally found a range that works for Jinwoon and he's really improving. I am such a fan of the song and while I slightly cringe during Taehyun's parts (I still love you, kid) it was a really good rendition.

YG really did an amazing job giving JB's Baby to Team B - he really knows ways to tick off people from voting for these kids, LOL! But other than Jinhwan being amazing as usual, along with BI-BOBBY, there's nothing really exciting for me in Team B's performance. Maybe it's 'cos I hate that song (see YG, it's working) or the fact that they have 3 Daras in there who keeps getting overshadowed every episode.

Yoon Jong Shin LOVES Seung Yoon lol. Idk, he still haven't impressed me much throughout this whole thing. Seunghoon has been killing the live performances, and Jinwoo really improved. Akdong Musician's version of Officially Missing You is still better though imo.

Team B was... cute? B.I and Bobby were probably dying inside but it actually played to team B's strengths. Also it's shows a different side than their always all "gangsta"/ hip hop schtick.

HOW DARE THEY MAKE MAH BB HANBIN PERFORM FREAKING "BABY?!" SMH.

B looked so cookie-cutter. They did great, I guess, but come ooooooonnnnnn!

[robalunch.livejournal.com]

Team A's performance was beautiful T.T.

Team B did good too.

[bluesandhues.livejournal.com]

god YG WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME!!!

I've been refusing to watch any of the episodes cause I just cant become attached to either groups but looking at these performances I JUST WANNA CRY

LOVE LOVE TEAM A's performance! they remind me of big bang when they do those slow songs like cafe and all. their vocals are amazing and i dunno their names but those two rappers 0:44 and 1:58 i can tell are about to join my bias list... WHO ARE THESE BOYS AND HOW OLD ARE THEY!

Team B I thought they were cute! I don't really like some of the vocals but that second rapper was adorable with his smile :))) they def looked like they were more comfortable on stage but maybe cause it was like a more upbeat song..

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

0:44 is Mino (1993), 1:58 is Seunghoon (1992)

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

both performances were good and fun to watch, but team a did much better this time, that's probably their best performance until now.
i srsly loved it, everyone sounded good and they were looking so hot. idk, it helped me to be sure that they can work as a group as long as they have the right song that fits their style.

team b's remix was pretty fun tho, even with the vocals not being that impressive. i really liked how they arranged the song.

MY FACE WHILE WHILE WATCHING TEAM A'S PERF


FELT LIKE A PROUD GIRLFRIEND OR SOMETHING.

THE BLENDING.. THE ADLIBS.. THE PARTS... EVERYTHING WAS ON POINT AND CAN I JUST POINT OUT HOW JINWOO AND SEUNG HOON IMPROVED SOOOO MUCH! SEUNG HOON TOO IS BECOMING MORE HANDSOME. JINWOO BB ILU!!!!!!!

Team b's perf..
Bobby and Junhwe stood out again (for me) okaaay..

[footballfina.livejournal.com]

team A was far far far superior - I think the Korean public knows it too...

Hanbin's still great, but Bobby really floundered in this performance :/

[icedevil0289.livejournal.com]

rme at the pity comments and people thinking team B got this song just to make A look better.

[hagar-tammaa.livejournal.com]

they sounded worse than bieber back then i didn't know that was possible
like even bobby and bi couldn't save this shit

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

Mino looked so good ♥
Junhwe did me proud.

I can see why B got Baby cuz it's very suitable for Jinhwan and Donghyuk's thinass baby voices. Still not a fan of them.

[naturalhonee.livejournal.com]

YHS picking Baby vs. Officially Missing You ... lol is it not clear which team YHS wants to receive more public votes? Koreans are insanely in love with the latter song.

Team B harmonized really well, but not all of Team B were feeling Baby. Bobby was most off his game - and I'm pretty sure it's because he was wondering why the fuck this song was anywhere near WIN, or YG at all.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Watch from 09:50 onwards when YG assigns JB's Baby for them. The faces of Team B tell it all:

[iglossmyeyes.livejournal.com]

fuck you yg for baby. it's impossible to show off vocals or dancing or even b's style in this song. the worst song choice ever.

i was also v. disappointed by a's song. i was so pumped up to see them perform wmyb since it's such a great jam and instead we got this zzz song.

[porcupinegloves.livejournal.com]

i can't get over team a's performance i'm so happy lmao
they look comfortable on stage for once (especially seungyoon) and it's so good to see

[honeebs.livejournal.com]

I haven't watched this show or any vids til now.
Oh Team A, I really like. OHH Team B did a good job.

I hate contests.
TeamA

[hearttaek.livejournal.com]

YG giving B Baby ugh smh
But props to my bbs for handling it so well even though they were probably all dying inside.

And awwww at the three bbs throwing a party of the holy trinity hyungs because they were grateful.
Meat! Cake! And handwritten letters ffs! So many feeeeeeeeels!

I love my team B, but A should have won this time.

No one should have to be forced to sing Baby ever.

[ashiva.livejournal.com]

Seriously anyone over 13 singing that song will look completely ridiculous.

[polaroidsho-ts.livejournal.com]

Ok I cant be the only one who thought BOTH performances this episode werent that good right? like YG why are you picking these songs (Baby???????? Srsly??????????) for them if you actually want the public to see how talented they are cos nope not seeing anything this ep sorry

A Team did great in terms of how much more comfortable/charismatic/confident they were this time round. the two rappers always stand out for me just in terms of their stage presence & performance, mino killed it today w/ his overflowing charisma ugh and seunghoon has never looked as good as he did today unf plz be keeping dat hair forever~~~ honestly seungyoon's always been a hit or miss for me, he was great today but i think thats partly due to the fact that his voice colour was right for this song in particular. with his gravelly deep voice, there are certain performances i just feel like he sounds out of place? and it's nothing to do w/ his skills or anything cos boy has that fosure. the trio's harmonization and all sounded pretty good today but i just cant seem to shake off the feeling that there's still something off abt them as a group? like i dont feel like their voices complement each other/bring out each other's strengths idk. jinwoo needs to stop second guessing himself, cos here atleast he's the only member that looks nervous-ish/less comfortable.

IN SUMMARY, yes A did good, but I kinda agree w/ JYP that it was a tad lackluster. probably has to do w/ the arrangement of the song? it wasnt a particularly memorable/fantastic rendition or anything. So I thought they were kind of meh right

Then I watched B Team.
And omg.

Ok to be fair it started off okay, I was like hmm maybe this could work............ but I was visibly cringing by the time it got to the chorus cos SO TEENYBOPPER YG WHY. WHY ARE YOU TORTURING THEM. honestly junhwe was THE ONLY ONE in B today that still remained all cool and like ~swag~ (eventho i hate that word) throughout the performance which gives me hope cos this means that he'd probably be able to deliver any song and still make it sound atleast a tad bit badass in a YG way. also his vocals have rlly come a long way and his voice is gorgeous, YG pls don't be anymore of a dick than you alrdy are, and promote him to lead singer position or sthn kthx. donghyuk was okay today too, he didnt look excessively teenybopper (eventho he sounded the part) probably cos he was actually comfortable w the song lol, like it suits his range and all. jinhwan was exuding rainbows and unicorns and glitter in a BAD WAY, just so flamboyantly tweeny ugh no YG this is not your image why. and yoonhyung was kinda forgettable today which sucks cos i rlly want the new 3 to stop living in the shadow of the old 3 ): even B.I looked tortured today, like he didnt look like he was enjoying himself as much???? and bobby #youtried, props to you for smiling and swaggering and trying to look like you were having fun but i know you were probably like fml on the inside sigh sigh. huge miss for team B this week srsly....... it just wasnt them at all and the fact that YG forced them to take on a song that has zero benefits for their image at all just completely puzzles me.

So idk this week just wasnt impressive at all for me, be it A or B, meh.

[polaroidsho-ts.livejournal.com]

did i just write an essay

[strawberry-efeu.livejournal.com]

I think Baby was a good choice for B in that they were allowed to show off their vocals, which they've been getting criticism for. And you should remember that Koreans think Justin Bieber is great. I don't really know why people would assume that YHS knows that Justin Bieber is kind of hated. It was the first time I was disappointed in one of the rappers though! Bobby's flow sounded totally off to me :(

I'm kind of wondering about A not really having any choreo... I haven't watched the show yet so idrk who made the decision, but I think it definitely helped them out. And maybe that's why B ended up winning, even if they did just do the original choreo. A sounded so good though. Their harmonization was killer, I just love all three of the vocalists' voices together♥ And the rappers were great as usual~ I just love A's sound.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

Somehow I have learnt all of Team A's names. I still can't tell Bobby or Bi apart. This definitely has to mean something.

Until the chorus I thought Team B actually sounded good for once. Though the song makes everyone sound average.

Team A were perfect. They looked like they were comfortable and enjoying themselves, they sounded great especially Taehyun who must have got over his cold because he sounds 110% better than last week. Still waving a rappers flag though. I am so here for Seunghoon on top of my love Minho.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Baby?? Well we know which demo Team B is being aimed at.

Team A make me proud. Team A still look alittle scared though.

Also Minho looked really hot, i honestly didn't see it till now.

[jactay14.livejournal.com]

Wow Minho was so much less irritating when his rap was not so aggressive. All of team A looked really good today. I want Bobby to be adopted into A, so the people I like are all together

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Taehyun could be a good model, bbs got the face and the look.

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

lol @ B stans complaining about Baby for B. this is the first perf where I didn't want to strangle Jinhwan. he sounds right at home with Beiber songs... as if they could pull off a song like Officially Missing You.

[asteri5k.livejournal.com]

this is the first perf where I didn't want to strangle Jinhwan

lmao mte! i was just gonna say. yg probably chose it for them cause ya know, it is in their limited vocal range.
