I'm usually excited to see Hyo dance but this wasn't a good rendition of the cell block tango
Another song would have been better

Where's the rest of Taemin's performance? his seems the most different, like more romantic. I still liked Hoya's stage the best but I'm tired of the joker, and Hyoyeon kinda missed the concept of this stages... didn't find anything horoor raleted to her performance

[jillyjellly.livejournal.com]

here's the full performance

[kary1591.livejournal.com]

I liked Taemin's dancing best but was more entertained by Hoya's. I just really love Hoya's energy and I like how smooth & powerful his moves are.

I don't think Taemin was 30 points above him tho. Then again I also don't think Hoya should have been only one point ahead of U-kwon.. but then I also don't think U-kwon should have been the highest score last week to begin with lol.

Idek what I'm rambling about. Guess I approve of the top 2 but not so much of the scores.

wait.... Did Taemin perform a new choreography for sayonara hitori? Or is the same he performs around (and if so its fair?)? almost forgot to talk about hyunseung awful hair, what is that mullet omg (and the person covering paperboard hoya's eyes LOL)

[cinnabun11.livejournal.com]

i was wondering the same about taemin because he's had way more time to practice this choreo then....

[peppermintty.livejournal.com]

i don't understand how taemin won? lol maybe because the performance video was cut off but yeah

hyo's didn't look like a devil concept, but damn i love watching her dance! watching her do ballroom dancing makes me want to retake all the lessons i've had in high school which i never finished. tbh i'd watch her dance all day and i won't have a problem, this coming from someone who's never been into girls' generation ever.

shownu's performance... was a bore. i'm sorry,he's my bias and i know he's an awesome dancer, but he seems awkward and gawky to me whenever he dances?

hoya's was the most entertaining stage this week. i love the music and the choreography.

looking forward to next week with ukwon and yooa!

Tell them!

h y u n s e u n g!!!!!!!!!! feels like i havent seen him dance in forever omg 😭 😭 😭 almost makes me forget about the atrocity that is his hair

[jillyjellly.livejournal.com]

this show has been underwhelming thus far. i must've expected too much bc none of the choreographies have been all that memorable and some of the idols looked really stiff. i love sayonara hitori choreo but i wish taemin had done something different. dancing to his own song (albeit w/ some variations) is such a cop-out. i can't take the scores seriously either. taemin was basically a shoo-in bc it would've been embarrassing for sm if none of their idols won.

[the-erotomanic.livejournal.com]

i wish hoya's and u-kwon's performances were combined into one. cause what the other lacked the other has. hoya's dancing was good, but i don't really see the joker aspect to it as clearly as u-kwon's. u-kwon didn't really showcase much of his dancing unlike hoya's.

i like hyoyeon's take on the "devil" theme. but the execution is just so boring. i feel like she's performed this before in dancing with the stars. she was unsure with her moves here. and the choreo didn't really go with the flow of the music. wished the ending was more dark. the highlight was when she was on the floor since it showed off the story best, but that too could've been executed better.

ugh! shownu's performance was by the far the weakest of the bunch. the most interesting thing in that performance is his white sweater (and fripples). everything just look tired and blah. i wasn't even interested in finishing the performance.

can't really judge taemin's performance since it was cut short in the vid. but i really could't see the "devil" theme in his. and his dancing wasn't that great. it was good, but it seems like he was unsure of some of his moves. like bora, his partner was upstaging him cause she was hitting those moves better and more precisely.

Wait, Chungha entered this show? yaaaaaaaaaas Is Momo performing with Mina? I'm dead

[myra9.livejournal.com]

Love seeing my girl doing the thing she loves so much. She looks beautiful, but I feel like she could've done better.
Can't wait for next week!

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

hyo was just ok. hoya was the best and should have won. taemin was good but i'm not surprised he won considering the audience was supposedly made up of mostly his fans.
looking forward to ukwon/yooa and chungha next week. ofc i'm rooting for momo but i'm not confident bc she's dancing with mina, idk why she chose her

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

JYP probably made the decision for her to promote Mina tbh.

People's obsession with the joker needs to die. The joker needs to die in all multiverse and in the DCu and never come back to life. Aside from that, I liked Hoya's perf the most simply cause this more energetic and aggressive style is one I find more entertaining. And he had energy/passion and some good moves too. I don't understand how he only beat u-kwon only by one measly point TBH.

That shownu guy was terrible. I hope for him he'll improve, because it's a bad look. He's preparing for a group comeback right now if I'm correct and I wish his company would allow him more time to train. And he and taemin are not the only one busy. Hoya's injured and doing his summer concert tour, and supposedly preparing for a comeback, momo is probably filming ten thousand cfs and performing at all the festivals, bora was promoting I Like That with Sistar when they recorded, etc. if people are gonna be so lenient about taemin having 2 days to prepare, then the monsta x guy should get a bit more sympathy too.

I hope the performances will be better next week. Some contestants were a bit stiff (nerve and lack of time probably) or were outshined by their backup dancers.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

is Bigstar's Gwangseok actually going to dance?? because I will die if that's true

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

He is Feeldog, right? If he is, then yes, he is going to be part of the next battle ;)

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I have to say that I didn't know how to tag Hyunseung lol
He needs his own tag.

[tungatunga.livejournal.com]

Thus far it was disappointing, most of the idols were out shined by their crews/partners.

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

People complaining about Taemin having fans who voted for that performance like this isn't a shitshow and the dance isn't gorgeous. I thought there were more performances than this?

[citypolaroids.livejournal.com]

all i can say is that the judges are really impressionable and the points don't reflect the quality of their actual performances and skills

[citypolaroids.livejournal.com]

ALSO QUEEN CHUNGHA IN THE NEXT EP YAAAAAAAAAS



where's bora tho :\\\

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

All of these performances were underwhelming to me.

Taemin is a good dancer, and it showed in the choreo he did...however dancing to his own song feels like an easy way out. Idk, maybe he didn't have enough time to prepare anything new but it did not deserve such a high score. Although, it's not surprising with the amount of fans that attended.

I liked that Hyoyeon did something completely different, but it doesn't fit the devils concept and it fell flat for me.

I'm tired of seeing the Joker, so Hoya's performance annoyed me lol. He was better than U-kwon at least.

Shownu....why is he even there?? His dancing is weak, his backup dancers outshined him completely, he always has the same expression when he dances so it looks soulless, and his performance was overall boring. He should be in last place tbh.

Besides U-kwon's, I liked the performances from the first episode sooooo much better.

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

Idk, maybe he didn't have enough time to prepare anything new.

apparently he only had two days to prepare.

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

Hyoyeon's was really bad :/ wrong choreo for that song. That song should be interpreted like in the movie imo to look good, with a character, mouthing the song, be one with it and not just dance to it.

Maybe if she chose a diff song, it would fit more.

This might be my fave song from Taemin ever lol

[psharp10.livejournal.com]

lol i haven't seen it yet but reading the comments.... ok

i don't really care about the points and all, i'm just happy to be able to see koharu and taemin dance together ;;; i've waited for so long!!! and yeah, i don't think the song fits the concept of devils, but lol, i'm just. i really needed to see koharu and taem tgt

[byeolbyeol.livejournal.com]

well, overall, or in the grand scheme of it all: imo, momo should have been scored higher. (she did better than bora.) u-kwon shouldn't have been scored so high; ten was better. it might be an ~*~unpopular opinion but i think taemin would have ended up winning even if there hadn't been voting. he got the highest praise from the panel after finishing, but it is what it is. he's done with the show now again lmao

[adenar.livejournal.com]

oh @ momo's farce of a ranking. i hope she rises like chungha in produce 101

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

It makes me so sad, mostly because I think she wasn't bad it's just that the choreography was too bland. And I don't get how Shownu has more points than her. The guy seems like a sweetheart so I feel bad saying this but he wasn't good at all, for me his performance was the worst.

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

A 40 point diff between Bora and Taemin....for what? Taemin had the exact same problems in execution relative to his partner.

I think Hoya or Ten should've gotten 1st, Hoya's stage solidified why U-Kwon's was garbage imo.

I don't get this show or how they score things, I'll probably only keep watching for idols I care abt.

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I don't get this show or how they score things

I think there is 200 people in the public, including the "judges" that comment at the end of every performance, and the rest are whoever they let in. I guess they give their vote if they liked it or something like that and the idol who gets more votes wins.
I know there was Twice's fans who complained because they didn't let them get in and for the screams you can totally tell the majority are women. Someone said it was mostly Shawols the ones who could get in on the show, but I don't know where they get that info. The result is that a lot of people are complaining about the public being biased towards the male idols.

[love-xd.livejournal.com]

I was anticipating Taemin's slayage but I came back awestruck at his partner, Koharu. Damn, my eyes were on her the whole time, I didn't even pay attention to Taemin the 1st time.. I had to watch it a 2nd time for him but even then, my eyes kept on straying. Girl is on a different level, Taemin seem like her student here.
