For me Ten > Chungha > Hyunseung
So those points make no sense to me lol

I was expecting something different from Chungha, not because she wasn't good, but I felt like she had more impact when it comes to her charisma in her peformances that I saw on Produce 101.

Ten is one of the few idols (if not the only one) that when I see him dance he really seems a dancer and not an idol who can dance good. Am I making sense? lol

Yooa is amazing. I need her to come back to the show but as the main dancer.

"Ten is one of the few idols (if not the only one) that when I see him dance he really seems a dancer and not an idol who can dance good. Am I making sense? lol"

100% agree with you, and that's is why it bothers me so much that he isn't killing everybody in this show. The boy is amazing and a real dancer. It's like when I see him dancing I feel I'm watching So you think you can dance (not the same level, of course, but), while when I see the others it's like Dancing with the stars, lol.

I don't care about NCT at all, but Ten has all my attention now, lol.

My ranking - Ukwon > Ten/Chungha > Hyunseung

I think overall everyone did really well, just was not impressed by Hyunseung's stage though (lmao @ Ten turning away). Ukwon and Yooa's concept was TOO CUTE.

[sakuragirl24.livejournal.com]

Ten got robbed again he was so good wtf

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

hyunseung kind of disappointed me tbh. the choreo wasn't anything interesting, and he seemed kind of sluggish? idk if he's holding back bcus of recent things but his dancing usually has way more personality to it. also stephanie has wayy more stage presence than him lmfao it felt like another troublemaker stage. anywho i'm happy to see him dancing again <3

ten was cool and i liked chungha's concept but neither of them were very memorable overall.

ukwon was my favorite, again lol. it was spectacular performance-wise and there was more dancing this time around! also yooa acting as a cat is hot as hell

alsoo ten looked so disinterested in hyunseung's perf lol...

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

i love love love love watching ten so much, he dances with so much joy i'm just !!!!!!!!!! my boy whom i love !!!!! it hurt me to see him disappointed lol :'( but it's the curse of going first again
ten's performance wasn't very flashy and maybe didn't have a solid easy to tell story to it, although it was good! they were very in sync and had great chemistry together. then ukwon is at the total other end of the spectrum. his performance is super theatrical but the dancing??? where was it? yooa danced more than him, so like this is the second time his guests do most of the work lmao yooa needs to be an actual contestant. but i did love them, it was a good perf
hyunseung was tacky and i didn't like it. chungha was great
my ranking would be chungha > ten > ukwon (just bc it was yooa ft ukwon) > hyunseung

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Why did Ten go first again, was there another silly prank involved? (Though I did laugh at his screaming last time)

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

yeah they made them cry on the spot and it was in the order they managed to get a tear out. it took him 16 minutes lmfao (hoya was first with 13 seconds)

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

He's so adorable <333
I can't believe it took him 16 minutes just to shed one tear lmao.

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

ikr i love him he's so sweet T_T i was shouting at the screen to cry faster it was for his own good lol

[keki7.livejournal.com]

They should have gotten his teachers to send him a video message. That would've teared him right up.

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

lmaoo he should have quickly pulled out that episode on his phone

[yuwkon.livejournal.com]

i dont understand the "winner" system... i thought ukwon won the last time?

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

taemin won for the devils theme, but winning doesn't affect the order in which they perform the next episode. that's what the silly missions do

[iznanassi.livejournal.com]

I must say I'm super impressed with YooA, she has the expressiveness and fluidity a lot of idol dancers lack.

[infadel-x.livejournal.com]

I watched YooA's first (I mean no offense to U-Kwon but boy was outshone by my baby there) then moved to other performances and the only other performance which impressed me was Ten. Both performances made great use of backbeat and I loved a good backbeat main beat switch. Ten, you got my vote for using Pentatonix.

Chungha loves wacking and she's great at it but I think she could use a little variety. I've seen Hyunseung do better.

YooA though gosh she was awesome I'm in love.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Mte @ Pentatonix, I was like ok Ten extra points for you

[dirrtypony.livejournal.com]

yooa pretty much completely stole the show and should be replacing ukwon.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

I see you Mnet, trying to create ~suspense~ by keeping the last performer's score until next week.

I think Ten and his partner matched pretty well although there was a moment where I thought they could've been more in sync. They also tried to get the audience involved which was great. I need the rest of NCT trolls to make a reaction video to comment on the flirty moments, lol.

I liked Chungha's choice of not doing a couple dance but she wasn't very memorable. Hyunseung was overshadowed by Stephanie. Also I lol'd at Ten's reaction, he looked like he was thinking "I'm a young rookie and I should not look too excited at this sexy dance, must protect my innocent eyes!"

Ukwon's story was fun and he did dance more than last time but Yooa stole the show, she was more memorable.

[kaypukis.livejournal.com]

wow, stephanie and yooa completely stole the show from those boys..
dance and choreo wise? ten own this episode.
i just love how ten just blend into different moves and choreos easily without seems awkward. he's definitely a talented dancer.

[misspoirot.livejournal.com]

Ten's face during Hyunsung's perf got me LMAO. Someone share a Ten's fancam of the whole perf

[kaykaydelight.livejournal.com]

Ten was good but tbh I just don't care for him and expect him to do well anyway.

Hyunseung was basically Trouble Maker without Hyuna. It wasn't bad, although I don't understand why he wore that outfit.

Chungha just posed and did some arm-ography, with no foot work in sight. AKA your typical female idol stage.

Ukwon and YooA did that. It was like a watered down SYTYCD stage but I loved it. YooA really stole the show for me out everyone else.

[peppermintty.livejournal.com]

i actually.... enjoyed hyunseung's performance? and i thought chungha's performance was really kind of... meh? lol my comment went against almost every comment here haha

actually chungha's perf wasn't that bad, but the choreography started waning around the end? idk. i was just really underwhelmed.

yooa was amazing. i actually really thought mimi was the best dancer in oh my girl, but now i'm rethinking that.

ukwon really needs to step up his game here, because even as i understand how he keeps getting the high scores, he can't go by the technicality of the geniusness of his choreography forever. (genius because you don't get bored of watching as there is a story you are tuning into and not just the awesomeness of the dance moves)

ten's was the second most entertaining to me -- he looks really happy dancing, and who would have thought he was awkward with his partner during rehearsals lol

tl/dr: ukown > ten > hyunseung > chungha

[krunkri.livejournal.com]

yooa and stephanie need to join as contestants asap

chungha's concept was great and ten had the best choreo

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

Yooa and Stephanie were the only shining points there, rest was just... decent, but boring?
I was legit laughing during Hyunseung's stage bc it was like next ep of him literally do not wanting to be there/flashback to Beast' times and then Stephanie came and literally shitted on him presence wise, like what kind of performance art tragicomedy lol

[soyunatetera.livejournal.com]

I loved all the stages!!!!! the were so fun!!! I really missed Stephanie's powerful dancing I almost forgot HG was there, makes me miss her x man stages.
And why the hell they put Ten in those pants? they look so uncomfortable for dance, but he did great, but his crotch was probably suffering. I really liked the begining of the cat stage, it was so cute! and the Girls dance was different... it's like you want a lovey theme? NO here have some single ladies!!!

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

chungha did great but she needed some umph, if she really wanted to do some whacking maybe she should have pulled an fka twigs

yooa is probably the only reason i tolerate oh my girl now she's well on her way to becoming one of the best dancers of this era my god does she steal the show

[achan123.livejournal.com]

is everyone doing that hand vogueing thing because the topic is "this love", which is shinwhas song, which had vogue in it???????

[achan123.livejournal.com]

tbh all the performances were a bit mehh...

ten's was nice. but would have liked some jaw dropping specific moves.

and that beast guy's dance has crude af. didnt dance well either

yooa needs her own TV network 24/7

[miyozari.livejournal.com]

ukwon's performance w/ yooa is my favorite, he doesn't dance much, but i really enjoy the "story"

hyunseung was overshadowed by stephanie

chungah didn't feel powerful enough and didn't leave a lasting impression on me like beyoncé after live performances

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Hyunseung should be last cause it just felt like another version of trouble maker and he didn't even seem into it. Ten's reaction to it was basically me.

I love Chungha and I did like her performance but she could have gone a bit harder with the choreo </3

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

Part 2 of my thoughts because lj is being shitty and not showing my full comment....

U-kwon's performance was cute, but yet again he was outshined. Couldn't keep my eyes off Yooa and her dancing was so much stronger than his.

I might sound biased but Ten continues to impress me and he continues to be underscored. He really seems to be passionate about dancing and puts effort into the choreo, as opposed to other idols that does the bare minimum that is required and let their backup dancers do all the work.

My score would be: Ten > Chungha > U-kwon (If I was scoring Yooa she would be in first place) > Hyunseung

[smilla-sini.livejournal.com]

Partners outshined contestants again.
Idk, I didn't like Ten and Hyunseung's stages. Chungha was good, but I didn't like her facial expressions. I wish she looked fierce, but she just looked like she was performing in front of the judges?
U-Kwon's stage was the best and no thanks to him. YooAh should just take his place in this show lol.

[lxvecrimes.livejournal.com]

ugh i LOVE ten. he's so precious. he's definitely my fav in the show, i love how he moves and his stage was so cute!!!!! wish he'd gotten the highest points :(((

hyunseung dance was how i expected lmao esp at the part with him grabbing his partner's ass lol damn i was scared her goods would pop out when she bent over in front of the camera

chungha's idea was cute but idk her and i hated the styling so i didn't watch the whole thing, and same with ukwon, but thats mainly bc the cat girl made me uncomfortable lmao

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Looking at the teaser pictures, I had a hunch Chungha's concept would be single ladies. And well, I like the concept, and she was really energic, but I feel it was lacking a lot in the footwork department. I usually find her charismatic, with a lot of stage presence, but here, not so much. Idk.

Reading the comments, I expected Hyunseung to be sloppy and terrible, but it wasn't that bad? He showed a lot of moves. But it looked like Stephanie was really into it, and Hyunseung not so much, especially with him covering himself up so much. Maybe he's got a lot in his mind since he left his group. But theme wise, it was a bad and boring concept.

Lol It feels like Yooa danced more than U-Kwon, but I wouldn't go as far as say he was outshined. He was fine during the dancing parts.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

smh mnet blocking these videos in Korea

[yejun.livejournal.com]

As they have a theme every week they should (like Ukwon and YooA) really come up with stories to tell in their dance. They're all good dancers but choreography is waaaay more interesting to watch when there's a story to be told.
I feel like Ten's a great dancer but he just doesn't have the same stage presence as some of the others so I got quite bored. As for Hyunseung WHY would you cover your face when that's such a tool in dancing? I just felt like Stephanie was dancing with some random dude trying to be a shadow? Chungha was underwhelming in dance sense but she's got the stage presence of a hundred Ten's so with stronger choreography she'd be great.
By next week I'll only remember Ukwon and YooA's performance so that one was obv the best in my opinion.

[strangerstheme.livejournal.com]

Ten was the best imo, i don't understand why he is last while Hyunseung got the most points, his performance was boring and Stephanie overshadowed him.
Yooa and Ukwon were so cute, they will probably come first in the ranking of this week

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

Chungah is so mesmerizing, but there's only so much whacking I can take. She should have incorporated other elements.

Ukwon was completely overshadowed by YooA. I would love for her to be a formal contestant.

Hyunseung is a great natural dancer, but he really thinks he's CB. This wannabe bad boy persona is off putting. There was no theme, it looked like he was freestyling, we've seen this from him before. I'm bored. Stephanie has great energy, but she's needs to tighten it up a bit.

Ten did the best for me, is there anything he can't do?

[sballet06.livejournal.com]

Quite liked Ten's, Hyunseung was so sluggish and while I love Stephanie she looked awkward in this style. Chungha did well but her choreo was all arms and very stuck in the same place not dynamic at all. My fave was U Kwon's mainly for YooA, I really hope she gets invited back as an actual contestant. While I do think UKwon should incorporate slightly more dancing into his performances I give him props because he realizes that a story behind the dancing engages the audience.

So Ten=Ukwon(moreso YooA)>ChungAh>Hyunseung

[boxcuttergirl.livejournal.com]

are there any of these that aren't painfully straight lmao

[diamondroad17.livejournal.com]

Momo is dancing with mina next week

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

I was entertained the most by Ten and U-Kwon's performances. YooA...that's my girl. She drew my eye in a way the other female contestants, I HOPE, will do in upcoming performances.

Chungha's perf started out great, but that last transition into Run The World dampened it, imo. Lots of hand vogue.

I wasn't impressed by Hyunseung's performance at all. I mean him nor his partner (is that Stephanie?) drew attention over the other, the choreo in general was very weak and it was executed weakly. It may as well have been a freestyle. I'm over whatever phase with his dancing that he's been in. Do something else.

[xkeirafanx.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that is Stephanie dancing with Hyunseung. I'm pretty disappointed with how weak and choreo lacking this was. The woman was part of a prestigious ballet dance group and now back to her pop career, even though she always liked sexy concepts, she does this.... thing. As for Hyungseung he just brought what I feel we have seen him do since pre-debut. It is lazy and bores everyone who knows his moves for a while.

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

yooa is so flexible and much better dancer than i expected.

[princesalunar.livejournal.com]

I liked Ten's performance so bad that he was first again xD Yooa stole the show for me, she was sooo good, I hope she can participate on her own.

[friedchickeneu.livejournal.com]

i loved loved loved watching ten's performance. like you can clearly see how he's a dancer and he's not just an idol who can dance well if ya get what i'm trying to say. i'm really excited to see more from him.

kinda disappointed with hyunseung's performance though since it was just... basic. nothing interesting and we know that boy can dance. (but can stephanie's shorts get any shorter though lol)

chungha's dance was pretty was cute at first but then the arm-ography was so redundant that it became boring. it kind of felt like i was watching a pep rally instead a routine for a dance competition. props for her for using the "this love" theme into how a person should be empowered by loving themselves though.

ukwon who? tbh, it was more of like yooa's routine instead of ukwon. i wish yooa's part of the competition instead tbh.

[welljustguess.livejournal.com]

i feel uncomfortable watching yooa's expressions so it's bothering me from the whole performance.
my fav is ten, maybe because of his expressions.
chungha has no big impact on me, surprisingly. i only vote for her for the whole p101 tho, so i'm anticipating very good performance
