Why the hell would you put a dubstep breakdown on Shock? I thought were past this. Also, the rapper's singing voice isn't nearly strong enough for the part he was given, why did he sing that?

What the hell was that random Growl remix half-way through Call Me Maybe? Also, what the hell was the sound system during the rap break?

Dope is honestly the best so far, it looks like it was rehearsed better, if nothing else. Even if the dance break at the end still makes no sense.

Oh shit, Very Good is actually... Very good. Thank god no random dance breaks either.

Oh my god, Sherlock... It started out ok, then they gave Jonghyun's parts to someone that clearly can't cover them. Why, why?

Oh Jesus, that cover of Be Mine... Just put those poor boys out of their misery. Rappers kinda saved it by being competent, at least...

[premonitioner.livejournal.com]

what I learned from this post is that there is only one Kim Jonghyun and he cannot be imitated

And that original raps do not make a cover sound better

[principessa-sen.livejournal.com]

Exactly! Jonghyun is totally unique

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

I only saw Call Me Baby and Dope. They both sucked.

[gollyfucks.livejournal.com]

i thought you were exaggerating op... oh my god. im never trusting an infinite cover again....

do they come up with the extra choreo themselves because there were some moments that... mmm. nuh-uh. they seemed really nervous too. :(

do i waste data for any of the other ones... im afraid

edit: i went and got wifi and listened to them all + be mine again

be mine: not as bad as the first time around although now i definitely appreciate that choruses usually go unsung during music show. whoever was covering woohyun at the beginning was definitely out of his league though.

sherlock: the rapper was to par. the rest was a little... i just appreciate shinee WAY more.

very good: kind of hard to mess up very good, they were fun. whoever was covering p.o and u-kwon's parts were working it

dope: they seemed like they were really into it and that made a difference. rappers were all right, kind of hard to mess up the vocals. i REALLY appreciate jin now; whoever was covering him just... did not have quite the same sparkle? i don't know, i'm not much of a jin fan, but that was definitely not a strong moment.

cmb: also pretty hard to mess up. they were fine.

shock: i have never heard shock but the dubstep was VERY jarring. guys, you can do that to a vixx song, but for beast.... um. it was slightly more tragic than cmb.

i hope the performers for red and sky go a little farther! i think the rapper for call me baby wasn't bad either.

Shock was the best imo, some of the guys in that group were cute too

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

holy shit, do they even have a strong vocalis? they all sound weak af

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

Wow OP, you weren't kidding when you said that both Be Mine and Sherlock sucked. Which one is Doha?

I thought everything were average to subpar. :/ And I remember I was pretty impressed by some of them. Shock was probably the best though, and yeap, the boys in Shock are quite attractive :'D

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

Doha is the leader that did Shock! he sings the first line of the chorus

[kobrakiddo.livejournal.com]

I see, thank you ! He's indeed a cutie. :D

[vagueclarity.livejournal.com]

all of the vocalists are ... lacking

i'm guessing the dance breaks were all part of a unit challenge or something? because they seemed really forced

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

about the vocalists, they sound better in their solo assessments tbh.

[mylovebelt.livejournal.com]

A lot of these were painful to watch. I wasn't expecting like amazing covers but a lot of the vocals felt really weak and the dancing felt kind of .. unrehearsed? b2st cover was probs the best.

[maboroshi-i.livejournal.com]

the dope perf wasn't as bad as some of the yt comments were saying it was. their voices are so deep though...they dont really suit the song (but thats obviously bc i'm used to hearing the original). and the guy covering rapmon at the beginning cracked me up lmao.

[amandaplan.livejournal.com]

sherlock was really a mess vocally and energy wise. . isn't shinee's vocal teacher a judge ? lol
cmb was a mess vocally too.
dope was okay when they sang together but otherwise it was not that great.

[elisaorange.livejournal.com]

I just watched Dope and Very Good since those are the ones that I'm actually familiar with seeing performed by the original groups.

Dope was fine.

Very Good... it's really interesting seeing Block B covers these days, Yezi covered this song a while back too. Their vocals (for Taeil's parts), rapping and the choreography all couldn't measure up to the original. But it was cute to watch.

[milafanway.livejournal.com]

I really thought that dope was good and shock was okay and the rest was just tragic omg....

[caipirinhas.livejournal.com]

Did they choose their songs, or were they assigned? Because Dope is... terrible. Like it's bizarre to see the choreo performed so limply after watching BTS do it so many times. It's depressing to see from other comments that Dope was... one of the better performances.

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

these songs were the only song choices they have

[caipirinhas.livejournal.com]

No, I meant like - did the group say "of these song choices, we want to do Very Good". Or was it like "Hey, Unit Sky - you get Dope. Hope you like BTS, bye."

[woohyun.livejournal.com]

oh, the leaders get to pick the song they wanna do

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

Oh man, Sherlock and Be Mine.....I found that with sherlock it didn't sound like they were insync with each other at all. They just all sounded like a group do dudes singing a random song while out for Karaoke. Be Mine just didn't sound great.

That dubstep break down in Shock was so not needed. I didn't hate Very Good, but I was meh to it. Dope was lackluster for me. Call me baby was forgettable.

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

seeing these performances makes me appreciate my favs more lol. idk, dope was fine. sherlock was fine minus that fail falsetto whatever at 1:17.

BUT THE INFINITE BE MINE COVER WAS SO LIFELESS D:

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

i think shock, dope and very good are good. but those are the songs i'm less familiar with so probably i don't have comparisson. doha is cute. i need to watch his indiv assessment. also these boys are better looking now with proper make up and costume. (or maybe just bc we don't get a lot of long solo shots lol)

edit: ok just watched doha's solo performance. i don't find him as cute as he is here. so definitely the costume and make up that do wonders. the only one i find cute even during solo performance was the leaser from last week... jinseok??

Be mine is a no voc and choreo wise. they don't have any power ugh. why.
cmb, idk man. i always think exo is a mess when doing cmb choreo. and these boys also look like a mess. maybe i just don't like cmb choreo. it's just not tight. i don't like it.

[hyeena.livejournal.com]

Jesus I couldn't finish watching any of these

[principessa-sen.livejournal.com]

What happened to those wonderful voices that were listening to in the first episode?

[dragondie.livejournal.com]

Yellow was definitely the best out of the teams tbh.

[undeniablysarah.livejournal.com]

Sherlock was just..... wow.... even people in SM who try and cover SHINee can't do it right so no surprise these rooies can't

Be Mine shouldn't have even happened... it was that bad.


These boys are not ready to debut
