@tbansi1020 (they seem to have translated the lineup found on this tweet as their source)

Jihyo? Must be a misprint.

Jihyo isn't on Yuju's level but she sounds lovely on lower registers and she needs these opportunities to show it and get experience. Hate is not necessary, let's rather discuss how she did when it's done!
Anyway I really like how many special stages we got from music shows lately, I hope they'll keep on with this!

YAAAAS i'm ready to be slain by Yuju's godly vocals

[unelixir.livejournal.com]

omg yuju and suhyun pls lord save me from this bless

[bloodtaki2.livejournal.com]

Wished Kei was included. I was surprised by her lower register in the Girls Spirit ep with the soldiers.

[broadcities.livejournal.com]

yuju and suhyun singing together has suddenly become my dream! i love that showcasing girl group's vocals have become a thing lately. rise!!

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i really do wish jiwon was in the group (instead of dahyun tbh) but even during sixteen she wasn't on yuju's level or yeonjung's. neither was minyoung.

it really doesn't seem like jyp cares about vocal technique (plus that half air half sound thing is bullshit). jimin got most of her training outside of jyp. sunye was pretty good though.

[forsureyoudo.livejournal.com]

jype doesnt use that tehnique with Twice tho or got7

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

I get Twice, but I always thought that Got7 has those nasal/airy vocals on lock lol

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

it seems like no proper technique is used with twice anyway (plus twice has the same vocal teacher as bts and that says a lot lmao)

Would have loved to see lee hi included just because I love her and suhyun together

[kashiyaek.livejournal.com]

mte, where is mamamoo?

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

why are people acting as if baek ayeon and suhyun are better than jihyo? bc they're not. they're all average (akmu's songs are actually pretty simple in terms of technique, meaning there are little to no high notes so who knows about her). jihyo is an average singer. not amazing but not bad either. people act as if she's sehun.

anyway, yuju will kill it.

let me change my icon before people accuse me of being biased lmao

[aidolls.livejournal.com]

it's just dismaying that out of NINE girls in Twice, the best vocals they can offer up is Jihyo - who is extremely average

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

and there's also the fact that when you put her up against the other main vocalists from other groups she doesn't quite measure up. She is better than the sub-vocalists of any group, but as a lead vocalist...Also, I think the two big new-gen girl groups are Twice and Gfriend, which inevitably puts Jihyo up against Yuju, which is like comparing the 100m bronze medalist to Usain Bolt, you know? It's not that the bronze medalist doesn't have talent, it's just that Usain Bolt is Usain Bolt.

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

"people act as if she's sehun" LMAOOOOOOO god no! Shes average and a goddess of singing when compared to the other girls in twice

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

well yeah but people won't even admit she's average and act as if she's the worst singer ever lmao

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

They clearly haven't heard Momo then....

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i will not accept slander against momo! watch her rise as a vocalist soon!

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

lmaoooo rise? i dont think so! her vocals sound unfixable

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i was clearly joking.......................

oh i just realized you're the op. nevermind then!

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

omg sorry im always so bad at picking up sarcasm esp on the internet lmao

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

i absolutely hate it when producers give singers notes outside their range. like taeyeon is one of the best girl group singers yet she's painful to watch in the twinkle live performances (same with seohyun). what is even the point of doing this?

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

This is a great chance for Jihyo to show what she has, but also will haunt her forever in case of failure, I think better for her would be to build her vocal rep in conditions where she wasn't put next to people like Yuju vide automatic comparisions.
Either way - I'm super exicted for this stage, is it known what song they gonna sing?

[lettace.livejournal.com]

jihyo is fine lol. she's no better or worse than baek ayeon or suhyun

i have no worries. they'll sound good because i'm sure that if jihyo was out of range at any point she has baek ayeon to keep her in check

[donutism.livejournal.com]

lol cannot at people saying jihyo is on the same level as suhyun and baek ayeon.

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

even as a ONCE I cannot @ this outright lie. Jihyo's not even close to Suhyun.

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

yeah I love Jihyo, too, but Suhyun is hands down a better vocalist.

[niyarav.livejournal.com]

I'm not sure about this combination but if they don't do another bland ballad I'm sure it will be fun. I am enjoying all these special stages tho I hope we keep getting more.

The next gen ggs have such good vocals, I would love to see a stage with Yuju, Yeonjung, Wheein, Kei and OMG Seunghee

[molly-hime.livejournal.com]

No OMG Seunghee? She's easily my favorite vocalist of the new generation.

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

It's really unfair to Jihyo that she got put in the position to carry a group of nine as the only standout vocalist, I agree with everyone who said that TWICE could have used another lead singer (or more). It's kind of annoying that almost every girl group depends on one singer (that's why Mamamoo and SPICA are so refreshing imo). That's how much kpop values talented singers I guess––only enough to support the less talented, prettier girls. I'm still bitter about Sejong and Yeonjung being discarded from IOI, too.

[smyers92.livejournal.com]

But were they really discarded? They kinda "left" the group to promote with their own groups

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

don't really know what the negotiations were, but Yeonjung at least got that nice public statement about "not being ready" to be an idol, which certainly made it seem like she was being dropped for the negative attention she got. Sejong they should have fought harder for imo, she had a lot to offer, and it would have been better for her career to be in IOI than gugudan right now. But who knows what went on...

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

Sejeong was never discarded from the group, if anything her and Chaeyeon were the two that YMC wanted to hold onto the most but couldn't. Jellyfish was too greedy and wanted to debut Gugudan ASAP, and media-played about Sejeong and Mina's loyalty to IOI until Chaeyeon left for DIA and got heat for it first.

Yeonjung on the other hand was definitely let go.

[redgreendress.livejournal.com]

yeah that seems about right. If they couldn't get Sejong on board yet another reason why they should have held onto Yeonjung, the idiots. Chungha and Yoojung are very decent sub-vocalists, but Somi can be grating and Pinky's high notes are so strained it almost hurts. They needed one of those two, just imagine Whatta Man with either or both, it'd be so much better, they could even sing it live for once -_-

[cuteartichoke.livejournal.com]

Does anyone ever find it weird that Jihyo gets dragged for being the best singer in Twice, but not good enough to be compared to Wendy and Yuju, but none of the other members get drag for not being good enough to give her proper vocal line support? Like,its not like Jihyo knew she was going to be put in a group where nobody else can sing, yet she gets most of the slack for it.

[chastainy.livejournal.com]

Girl, where have you been? Twice is always being dragged because like none of them can sing lmao

[cuteartichoke.livejournal.com]

I guess what I mean is that I've seen people fight tooth and nail to prove Jungyeon and Nayeon are at the very least decent singers and aren't as bad as people say, but then trun around and act like Jihyo's vocals are shit because she's not as good as Wendy/Yuju etc. That's just what I've notice, not necessarily on Omona but just in general
