Ahhhhh I got sniped

Anyways Bora slayed I cant even deal. I think Momo was good too once she let go in the second half of the routine.

Although like kudos to U-Kwon for the performance but the majority of that wasnt dancing and even the dancing was rlly mediocre.

Edit: ok lmao with the scores we're being fed this typical mnet bs. Please score people based on their DANCING ty.

your comment are my thoughts.
Bora was the one that I liked the most (I'm already anticipating her next stage) and watching U-Kwon I was like "ok, I guess this is fun but is he going to dance?".

I'm mad at the votes, and for the people screaming in the public I feel like there was too much fangirl. I'm already expecting the boys getting much votes than the girls whatever they do.

can this ugly joker/harley trend DIE

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

i love them as characters but people are really killing it lately and not in a good way.

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

I'm upset about having to wait another week lol.

And I'm scared Hoya having the same concept as Ukwon will affect him given how much they loved Ukwon.

Anyway let me go watch these.

Thanks for the post OP!


ETA: Ok so my fave part from Ukwon's was that shot they gave of Taemin looking really cute.

Ten's was def my fave.

Also just watched some clips of the prank and died at Shownu not reacting in the slightest.

Ten and Momo omfg

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

ten killed it and me ughhh every single detail was perfect. his flexibility is no joke and when he started bending every way i got chills. to quote that lady, if he's the devil then he can take my soul
i liked bora's, it was very sexy but there seemed to be something missing? it wasn't very fluid? idk
was momo very nervous? she seemed to be holding back but the second half of her dance was better
ukwon.... i loathe the joker and in my biased (or not) opinion he was not better than ten so i'm sad for my bby :(
looking forward to the rest. i can't believe they only fit 4 dances in an hour and a half rme

[maffinoyobiai.livejournal.com]

Bora was AMAZING I loved that performance!

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

Can someone explain me why Mnet posted before airing the show Momo's full performance? O_O and it was the only one that they posted.

Bora killed me <3 I was so pleasantly surprised :D

Edit: Also can we talk about JYP's dancer, Blazer Pyo. He was trending on Naver and everything lol
And also is the guy on heels on the Brave Girls MV at 1:03

I have a love/hate relationship with his dancing. IMO he doesn't contribute for the artists to shine bc he's always too OTT in every movement he does and wants to be the center of attention and obvs he always is. Remember that performance in which Min was slapped in the face during her high note in a year end show? It was him being OTT. And in both Momo's performances the intro and the vampire one, he was hitting it harder than the other dancers and Momo herself. He should help her shine since it's her first time in a competition, but after her performance HE was interviewed for obvious reasons. Anyways, sorry to sound salty, but I've been following his stunts since Miss A glory times lol

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

Ten deserved to win this round imo but I get the appeal of Ukwon's, he really lost himself in the character so the performance aspect was super impressive even if the dancing was more focused on formation than steps.

I hope the ladies don't get pigeonholed into sexy choreographies. Bora's rly did her no favors because she's lacking a lot of the sharpness needed for that kind of dance. She would've been better off doing some contemporary or something, I believe that's more her thing right?

ETA: looking like I have the unpopular opinion on Bora LOL I thought she was very messy.

[disfigureddream.livejournal.com]

I used to trawl all SISTAR-related videos, and I think Bora's dancing seemed better in earlier years. It's probably not a genre issue? I felt like her body lacked flexibility and her dance partner was so much cleaner in her movements that the contrast made it worse.

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

I think the scores were all on point for this week. I don't even know or like Block B, but Ukwon's was the most immersive and captivating.

Ten did REALLY well, and his felt the most like a solo performance imo. That ending!!

Bora's was sexy and reminded me a bit of Ga In/Paradise Lost. Momo!! Thought she did great, but the song wasn't and choreo could've been more powerful.

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

Also, what are the stakes for this show? Are there eliminations? Does the winner get something?

[kaypukis.livejournal.com]

wow, i'm impressed with all performances..
If we based on whole performance, u kwon is deserved the 1st spot even though he's basically just dance for half of the performance..
For solo though, Ten deserve the praise.. His move is slick, sharp, on point, and his solo exorcist move at the end just sealed it. Good job bb

[u-niverse.livejournal.com]

i'm so going to follow this show every week! Ten really stood out and i'm pleasantly surprised by Bora. I find Ukwon's too gimmicky for my liking and Momo was alright. I'm rooting for Hoya in this so i can't wait for next week!

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

after reading all the comments i expected ten's performance to blow me away but it was just ok lmao when will people stop hyping up mediocre sm idols

bora >>> the rest. hell, even momo was more enjoyable to watch than the dudes and i usually find her w/e

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I guess if we look at it from a professional point (that I don't have lmao) Ten is probably be the best. More than because of him being perfect because the rest weren't as good, but it's true that it wasn't something new (boy groups doing dark concepts happens all the time). The only thing that got out of the ordinary was the final part.
Now, I really don't get what people see on U-Kwon's performance. It was so unoriginal to me, his dancers did all the job and what he did has been done before and better by other idols. I feel like you can tell I'm mad he is winning for now lol
Bora was far from perfect but in general it was the most interesting stage for me.
I watched this show for Momo but I have nothing to comment about her lol It wasn't bad but nothing special either.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

all the songs were kind of boring. and I'm still expecting more from all of them. they can do better, I'll hope that it's just a first stage thing.

[queenhinata.livejournal.com]

i liked all the performances. in my unbiased opinion, ten had the best dancing.

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

bora was horrible lol and momo was absolutely boring. ukwon's perf was amazing for the theatrics but it would have been nothing w/o his backup dancers.
ten was the best overall 😶

[achan123.livejournal.com]

thanks for writing this down.

my exact reaction...

[dio-elaclaire.livejournal.com]

imo it's
1) ten
2) momo
3) bora
4) ukwon

looking forward to next week!

[chasing-thewind.livejournal.com]

Is there a theme that people are supposed to follow? Cause all of these performances seem pretty dark.

Ten though!!

[pippopippo.livejournal.com]

It seems like the theme was "Devils" which you can see in the upper left corner of each vid. ^^

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

i haven't watched this yet but before i do i just wanna cr y bc taemin and koharu will do krn version of sayonara hitori i"M SO HAPPY

[thranduiles.livejournal.com]

omg rly?? i'm really looking forward to that!! sayonara hitori has been my jam since it's released and that choreo just slays

[soulsreverie.livejournal.com]

I loved momo and tens performances!!! I had to pause and take a breather several times lol. Everything about tens dance was amazing and momo's expressions were so on point.
Ngl I'm disappointed we hv to wait a week for the rest

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

tennnnnnn <3

[springsky.livejournal.com]

Ten and Momo were great! Bora's was a bit boring but she was good and I love Ukwon but I've been super over seeing the Joker in my kpop so I couldn't get into it that much.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

Ten NAILED this routine.
i liked bora's restrained facial expression
momo was basic

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

momo deserved more points
Bora was boring

[filmgoesround.livejournal.com]

is bora usually so terrible that this is considered good??

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

go look at sistars cover of tell me, she was 1000x better back then

i think them focusing more on her rapping(lol) rather than her dance skills in sistar was a bad choice
