I haven't watched anything since last week the comments said that this episode was emotional. However, I scanned the comments on Kshow and people seem really interested in the latest project the cast is doing, so I recommend watching it.

There's no Chit Chat (¡Qué horror!) because I haven't seen the performances either. I went straight to making the post.

woohoo, thank you for the post OP, now I can watch them all over again lol XD

I thought that there would be some songs I wouldn't like and then others I would like a lot BUT I honestly enjoyed all the performances. I really can't pick an absolute fave. Everyone went for it with everything they've got.

The rehearsal part was hilarious, they were either getting amazed or instantly worried =D

I just finished watching the performances, they all did a great job

as for ep 441, OMG I was a crying mess, so emotional, watch it if you haven't, it's so heartwarming

just watched ep 441 and I'm a mess.

Okay just got through watching it, and I LOVED EVERY SINGLE SONG.The crowd was top and full of energy, and the performances were on point. I'll be shocked if each song doesn't hit some kind of chart roof, because after each performance was over, I was singing the song. I felt this the most after IU and PMS's performance.

HWANGTAEJI!!!!!! I am so proud. I don't even know what else to say. Despite how he feels about himself as an idol, he's still an idol and he's gonna put in work and show out on stage, as he did.

I was the most surprised by Junha's performance. I had my doubts about everything he was doing because of obvious reasons, but his performance was definitely one of the coolest.

Zion.T and HaHa.....YES. As an MJ connoisseur, they rocked that stage. I didn't even know they could do that. My forbidden burning desire for HaHa increased tenfold after that performance. Y'all saw my appa-in-law on the screen? Lol.

I thought I'd get secondhand embarrassment from JYP and YJS's performance, but it was quite the opposite. I'm so conflicted rn, lol. That breakdown......I wasn't prepared, but once it happened, I let go of controlling my body.

Hyukoh and Hyungdon, in my opinion, was the best way to close the show. The song was more fitting for the festival than I thought it would be. Though it wasn't like the others genre wise, the song was still very high in energy, I couldn't stop moving along to it. Judging by the crowd reaction, they loved it too. Bluegrass country music is pretty good anyway, so I can see why I ended up loving the song.

Long comment short, I'm a stan for this festival.

I was crying with ep 441 and after that I saw the festival


HWANGTAEJI!!! I COULDN'T TAKE MY EYES OFF KWANGHEE WUTTTTTTTTTTT I loved it and it made an ALL KILL but now IU & Myungsoo are nº1 but wow the song was good and Kwanghee did so well I'm so proud T_____T

It literally killed me when Myungsoo's guy, Seunghwan if I'm not wrong he appeared at the end LOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Hyukoh and Hyungdon, omg he really gave his all in this song haha

Junha was so unexpected like it was good and I was worried for nothing and Hyorin's voice helped a lot

I WANT JUSTICE FOR I'M SO SEXY!!! That song and Hwantaeji are my jams for the rest of summer haha JaeSuk was really good and the rap was good with JYP, I even learned the dance I mean *sexy wave*

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

i was planning to watch ep.441 .... myungsoo came to my country and nobody noticed lol forever
he was closer to polar circle than to my city tho lmao

[maghishaw.livejournal.com]

I liked the Ziont T and haha song

[black-blasphemy.livejournal.com]

loved iu and zion t's songs and surprisingly jyp's. totally not feeling hyukoh's one and jungha's one just makes me laugh.

ugh at zion t's hair, that urine shade of blonde...oppa why... but him and Haha's performance was cool though I want that money gun!!

and am I the only one that thinks that Park myungsoo's voice meshes well with iu?

also, looking at jyp and yoo jae suk dance makes me feel tired, it's such a work out...

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

I loved Hwangtaeji's song, it's so amazing and fun, and as always GD and Taeyang owned the stage and yet here I am, unable to feel anything towards Kwanghee, he simply didn't sell the performance for me or seemed to keep it up with his partners (but i blame the fact that i got in the bitch eating crackers level with him).

IU why so gorgeous? LMAO at Park Myung Soo's fan boys and fan girls! And I really enjoyed the final version of the song, it's really good. In fact it reminds me of something gain would release. And I wasn't expecting the full on edm ending!

Haha and Zion t's entrance was pretty cool and they looked so effing hot, in special my boy Zion t. In fact I’m so enamored by him and his smile it's ridiculous. Also their song is really good, i love how smooth it sounds, and it’s really a jam.

GRASSHOPPER IS! SO! SEXY! The song is so exciting and fun, you get excited as you start listening to it, ad good lord Jae Suk worked the fuck out of that stage omg, he was so freaking amazing. My boo JYP as always was great and they were an awesome duo.

I forgot his name, I liked the song, but it wasn't anything special. I could do it without the creepy masked producer/dj it really freaks me out, like I am honestly frightened by him. And I really disliked how Hyorin is a part of it, it feels like cheating as she isn't really his actual collaboration partner and she shouldn't have been invited to sing imo, and she didn't add much to the song either (not her fault as the song wasn't very exciting or had anything for her to do), it should have been just the composer and the dude whose name i don't remember.

HYUKOH WAS TOO FUCKING AMAZING OMG I CAN'T! The boys looked so handsome in their pink suits, so charming! and i loved the song and when Hyungdon did the high pitched noise i lost it in glee. Overall the stage was amazing.

And lol I liked IU’s voice on I’m having an affair better than Bom’s.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

re: hyorin, they do that all the time though, like in 2011 bom joined park myungsoo and gd, in 2013 beenzino and lee sora joined kim c and jung junha. just saying, it's nothing new.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

oh, I didn't know that, I never followed it closely before, just watched the performances.

[nefertitii.livejournal.com]

my dear god.. HaHa must be stopped

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

zion.t and haha were AMAZING on stage. I still side-eye this $ponsor thing, but the melody is a jam... and that MJ tribute... always here for this. my favourite stage.

iu and PMS surprised me. I think they mixed well their preferences and I bet that their song will be the most popular. the previous episodes totally draw the audience's attention to them... IU should cut her hair again. she keeps being that pretty princess. <3

it's clear that GD and taeyang gave all the spotlight to kwanghee, but they will always overshadow him. they'll always be good on stage, even when they have a pretty generic song like this one. you can see that KWH is trying really hard while gd and taeyang are just enjoying the performance...

hyukoh's song was a good way to end the concert. they're so good. wish I could see them live (HGHGRND, please release a dvd! lol)

jyp and jaesuk was boring and JH's song was a mess that not even hyorin could save.

PS: I MISS PARK BOM SO MUCH! <3

[vermicelli-rice.livejournal.com]

I loved $ponsor (so smooth and sexy) and Leon (well conceptualized) performances completely. From the song to the choreo... really the full presentations.

And while I thought Hwang Tae Ji's song made a really high and fun opening to the festival... I found that the melody/tune didn't stick with me even after listening to the performance a couple of times.

I liked Hyukoh and Hyungdon's song a fair bit, and Hyungdon really sold the it in dancing etc... yeah as someone mentioned above, the contrast between their voices was really stark.

I think JYP & Jae Suk's team was pretty fun and they executed it well. It wasn't a standout song to me unfortunately.

Junha's song with Yoon Sang was... alright I suppose. But both of their singing/rapping parts were a bit too mellow (save from Hyorin belting it).

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

Capsule review, by preference:

#1 IU's song is indeed a triumph of songwriter vision with just enough concession to Myungsoo's frail ego LMAO.

#2 GD/Taeyang/Kwanghee shafted by their spot in the lineup, although despite having a MUCH BETTER "let the bass drum go" bit than Bangx3 I think it shifts gears too many times to really build momentum, even in a better spot

#3 Donnie/Hyuk-Oh - Confirmation, two years later (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AXEOb70cI1Q), that Hyung Don really is bluegrass fan haha. Not genre-bending like #1 or #2 but really well executed, shows off the band's technical skills and hyung don's musicianship

#4 Jung-ha's "your uncool dad trying to rap" bits in the variety show were so cringy I skipped all of them, but he and Yoon-sang are getting the last laugh because by ICMF standards this song is pretty good, minus the UTTERLY TERRIBLE and unnecessary "dance break"

#5 Zion.T/Haha, JYP/YooJaeSuk - zzzzzz

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

Though rating performance only... Hyuk-Oh and Donnie blew everyone else out of the water, honestly.

[kingpsyborg.livejournal.com]

hwangtaeji were adorable and the song was fun. nothing groundbreaking but kwanghee sounded and looked great, and i enjoyed watching their process. it was nice to see them just having fun and being friends, a totally different dynamic than the last two times gd's been on.

jyp and jaesuk were a lot of fun too and the song keeps getting stuck in my head, though i feel like it was about as inventive as htj's, lol.

haha and zion.t had probably my favorite performance. definitely one of my favorite songs.

hyukoh was awesome, i love them. though i think they did the worst in terms of integrating themselves as a fully team, dony was really tacked on and imo took away from the song.

iu and pms were good but the leon gimmick honestly bored me :( iu did a great job of making me put aside how badly pms annoys me though. them doing i cheated with iu was a lot of fun but just made me sad about bom, sigh.

junha and sang, idk. i watched this a couple hours ago and i already can't remember much about it. i find junha grating to begin with though.

the other project they're working on, delivering family-made food to koreans living abroad, is great. i watched the "filler" episode and was nearly in tears, uuughh. i'll be keeping up with that for sure.

[bugchan.livejournal.com]

i love iu's song lol and i died at the edm bit at the end lmao jaehwan jumping around with his shirt untucked omg. i swear he always looks like he didn't shower for days but at least he's funny lmao.

junha coming out with the segway(?) was so hilarious haha and his greet rapping in different languages intro is stuck in my head...asalamalakum! sawadikap! blah blah! white head producer is still creepy af and i also think hyorin's chorus saved the song tbh. i like it even tho it does sound a little soulless lol. popping bit was unnecessary.

hwangtaeji's ending sounded exactly like bang bang bang like did GD even try? i liked the intro bit tho.

haha and ziont's song was alright but i didn't really think of it as a huge hit. money gun was cool lol

jyp and jaesuk's song was quite underwhelming compared to the rest of the songs performed that night but its alright i guess...maybe i should watch it one more time lol

i think i had too much expectations for hyukoh and hyungdon's song so it sort of fell flat for me hmm. they came out looking like the rose motel guys with the pink suits lol. hyukoh's voice sounded kinda weird, like he was straining his throat at some point? maybe he's been smoking too much lol. but perhaps the recorded version would sound much better.

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

I'm so into the IU and park myungsoo song..its totally not what i expected..i expected it to be a bit try hard since thats what PMS wants..and iu isn't used to it..but its so good..they rly surprised me.i'm glad their song is doing the best in the charts rn.

i liked sponsor the most after them...its such good song..but zion.t should have given haha more parts.his voice rly fit with the song too.

GDYB and kwanghee did rly well..im sorta proud of kwanghee..he did well and i enjoyed the stage..but its so the usual big bang song so there wasn't much excitement.


JYP and jaesuk was catchy but the dance was more funny then sexy for me.hyukoh and hyundon stage was rly enjoyable but the song isn't rly my cup of tea..while junha and sang song was rly messy..i didnt feel it but they worked hard for it u could tell.

[lettace.livejournal.com]

jung junha is a shitheard but it's a great performance
gd and taeyang were typical. but kwanghee can dance

and i wonder... if you set a sheet of paper in front of haha and you told him to draw the jamaican flag, could he do it? or even get close? lmao he and that skull guy are so annoying

[sheisagentleman.livejournal.com]

i dont like iu/pms song tbqh, it bored me lmao and that leon concept kinda made me uncomfortable considering mathilda is a 12 year old girl.

and i know no one likes mapsosa but i really liked it lmao even with the messy changes in beat, and kwanghee was nervous as fuck but he got over it and did great!! m'son!!

hyukoh and donnie did good too and i wish it had been longer because it looked like fun!

shout out to jyp/yjs because i cant stop singing the "im. so. sexyyyy~" part lmao

haha and zion t was nice! i liked the dance break but the song was not a hit

i refuse to talk about the other team that i dont remember the name of because i didnt liked it at all. /yawn/

[iviih.livejournal.com]

I'm so sexy stuck in my head LOL and the wave dance... I can't.

IU song was good, I enjoyed it!

hyukoh song must be better recorded than live, IDK didn't feel it so much
