rocky was better than some of the other people

this show continues to be a mess

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I didn't even know who Rocky was before this show but I agree,

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I don't know anything about tap dacing so I have no idea if Bora did good or not but I don't care because she was so happy performing that I felt fulfilled <3

Can Hyunseung really dance? Is there something wrong with him? Because he is not showing much in this show and he doesn't look really motivated, but I had the idea that he was better than this. And I don't understand how is he the second one with more points!! It makes me feel bad for Rocky.

Shownu was better here than his previous time (but that's not saying much), but the clothes was so ugly that it was distracting.

And, in general, the artist need to look for less support in their backup dancers.

Bora did pretty well. Nothing terribly complicated, but her sounds seemed clear. Idk what her experience is with tap so if she's only dabbled I'd say she did well.


Aaaah this makes me wanna take up tap again.

+1 at your last comment. Ten is so flexible he doesn't need his crew to do it for him lol

how did shownu get 151? i thought 150 was the highest

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

I only watched the performances of this episode so I'm not sure, but for what I remember of the first episodes I think the the public is made of 200 voters (including judges), so the highest must be 200.

[unelixir.livejournal.com]

OH yeah i forgot about the audiences' vote, thank you!

[hilary-faye.livejournal.com]

Rocky was stunning and completely robbed what on earth? I mean I understand this show is mostly a popularity contest but good lord.

Bora really surprised me tbh I didn't even know she had it in her.

The other 3 were pretty boring. Shownu has 0 charisma and Feeldog/Hyunseung's felt like the same shit to me with different outfits.

I don't think Rocky was even born yet when the Mask came out. I wonder how much of the audience didn't understand the reference/setting?

I don't get why Hyunseung keeps choosing outfits that hide his body and face; I've seen him dance much better than this and losing access to the expressiveness of his movements is part of it. Pretty much any random Troublemaker performance has been better than these.

I liked how Feeldog's seemed like a cohesive crew instead of crew + star, even though I guess that's maybe not quite the spirit of the show.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Yeah maybe that was the problem with Rocky apart from being an unknown rookie. I mean his performance did rely a lot on acting but that was basically what Ukwon did in previous episodes and he scored pretty high, so...

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

rocky was sooooooo good tf!!!! i'm a stan!! i screamed when i saw the points like there's no way he deserved that little his entire performance was on point and he shined. bora also deserved much more, her number was really great and different

anyway, despite the unbalanced voting i love this show and seeing these idols dance i'm glad it exists

[littlefox12.livejournal.com]

The only one I found remotely interesting was the guy that danced with the mask concept. As an avid watcher of SYTYCD, I've seen more impressive tapping so Bora's wasn't that great for me. I commend her for doing something different though.

I think the reason this show is disappointing is because of the choreography. I have no doubt that all the contestants can dance, but I need to see better choreo to keep me interested.

[mlmello.livejournal.com]

all these performances were boring. I hope the second group does a better job.

I get that the show's idea is a crew, but the idols are relying a lot on their backup/partner dancers.

shownu.. I just don't get. lol sometimes I think he's a good dancer, but sometimes I;m like "wtf is he doing here? he's so... stiff?" lol

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

rocky's performance was the best by far, this show is a sham

[honey-baymax.livejournal.com]

The only performances I really liked were Rocky's and Feeldog's.

I see Rocky is the new Ten being underscored when he had the best performance...

I thought Feeldog was good but major side eye at those hairstyles...

Bora's tap dancing didn't impress me, but I give her points for trying something different.

Hyunseung and Shownu sucked so much that I almost didn't finish watching it. They were boring and their backup dancers did all the work. Especially Shownu...I still don't understand why he's on the show, his dancing is so unimpressive.

Rocky's acting stood out more than his dancing but he shouldn't have scored that low, especially compared to Shownu and Hyunseung whose crew were more interesting than themselves. I'm not familiar with tap dancing but Bora seemed to be able to keep up with her partner, and it was nice to see her provide some variety. Feeldog did well and was not overshadowed by his crew. So far the show has kept me checking out all of the performances, so props to them for that and for providing a space to the lesser knowns to shine.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

Also OP did you see the Rocky vs. Ten freestyle battle?



Ten during Say My Name -- get it boy! He even did well for that old Pomsaengpomsa song lmao.

[princesalunar.livejournal.com]

I found this episode a bit boring :/ I think some of them are using their backup dancers so much to gain attention. I expect a lot more for next episode, I liked Bora's performance, her smile was so bright :) I'm glad she got all the votes from the judges.
The mask concept was very good too, so sad about the points for both of them.

[milkfloo.livejournal.com]

rocky did so well <33 it's sad that his score was so low.

[achan123.livejournal.com]

wow

they need to step their game up. the choreos are getting so basic now

[kori-ya.livejournal.com]

Had to stop watching Shownu halfway, it was so bad.

Rocky was so fun to watch, I enjoyed it so much ♥

I was waiting for something special to happen with Hyun Seung, and when it came up, it was not him doing it. It's his time to shine, but he didn't use it. The dancing was ok, but boring. I feel he's really trying, but this was not it.

Ok, tap dance can be really impressive and I have no idea, what a good tap dance looks like, but...why do tapdance, Bora? I wish she would finally blow me away, still waiting. Couldn't finish her performance again. :/

OMG, Feeldog delivered, loooved his performance! ♥

[lilykt7.livejournal.com]

I was part of the b2st fandom back in the day and I think the problem with hyunseung is that you KNOW he works incredibly hard and is talented. But he's just not very charming on stage.

[msgrottesca.livejournal.com]

I don't even know him but Rocky was robbed and Bora was over rewarded for doing something different despite doing it mediocrely.

Also, simple bae Shownu is just... he just doesn't need to be on here LMAO honestly no one in Monsta X is a particularly good dancer but Shownu has zero charisma to mask his run of the mill skillset.

[keki7.livejournal.com]

that poor Rocky kid was robbed.

[cairistiona.livejournal.com]

how does hyunseung even have any points? his routines are so boring they put me to sleep, and he barely seems to dance in them at all. that skeleton contortion artist freaked me out so much though. dnw.

i know next to nothing about astro but rocky was FANTASTIC. it was a good plotline, the music was good, the dance was interesting and seemed somewhat tricky, and he emoted super well--his expressions were on point and really showed character. his low score is criminal. i think he was the best. this is how ukwon's first joker dance should have been; expressions, plot AND plenty of dancing difficulty.

bora was fine. shownu was also fine but boring. i enjoyed his first dance more. his dance crew were much better and made the show.

feeldog was okay? i don't think he deserves as high a score as he got. he was probably the next best after bora.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

Rocky was superb! Bora came next because she did tap. Everybody else was boring. I want to watch YOU, not your dancers. Those scores are a mess. Shownu was in no way entertaining. The dancers were.

I didn't watch Feeldog's performance because fuck it. Fuck all of that. That's not a side-eye performance, it's as blatant as it could possibly be.
