yesssssss stan talent!! im so glad to see this covered

[supersunshiner.livejournal.com]

i watched it and honestly it could have been a little cleaner and more hard-hitting/precise but they did extremely well

+ i live for their snsd stanning

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

kyla shouldn't have been center for the 2nd chorus :x but the rest did good imo! kyungwon surprised me, cause she looked a little stiff in the adore u cover but she did great here (& she's going to become such a girl crush when the group debuts lmao).

[cosmicjam.livejournal.com]

Yeah I agree, and they could have fixed the audio a bit better too since some of the vocals, especially near the end, wasn't auto tuned very well that it kinda bugged my ears lol. Overall though, they did a good job :)

[scribblyness-x.livejournal.com]

d'awww siyeon reporter, she looks great blonde. pinky center for the chorus was A++++. nayoung's linesssssss (body and the actual song lol). i always appreciate it when the main vocals hit the dance hard like shannon, eunwoo and yewon. kyla did really well in adore u but maybe this concept just isn't her.

man i'm really looking forward to their debut! i've never followed a group predebut as much as them.

what does pledis have against after school?

anyway, the energy was a bit off here tbh. i prefer their adore u cover

[missshallelujah.livejournal.com]

what does pledis have against after school?

I hope nothing cause it's in poor taste to disdain a recently deceased person

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

after school have 0 fans (ifans that only complain but won't actually buy albums don't count), they'd flop harder than nu'est if they were to make a comeback. i'd rather pledis eventually pay seventeen for all their hard work instead of wasting all the money they're earning on their deadweight lablemates like they've been doing with nu'est all year.

do after school even want to comeback? what members are left anyway? just accept that they've all but officially disbanded. the members are doing just fine on their own.

but it wouldn't be a pledis girlz post without people bringing up after school lol.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

um, calm down. i'm referring to them covering an snsd song instead of a female group who's their sunbae in their company. they covered seventeen first, wouldn't it be logical for them to cover after school instead of snsd? your comment is extra for absolutely no reason. i did not mention after school's comeback or anything like that.

[adenar.livejournal.com]

tbh i was confused by your original comment but didn't think you were insulting after school, i just didn't understand what you meant

pledis girlz have covered after school before - their audition for produce 101 was 'bang' (with lyrics edited by siyeon), and nayoung had a chance to cover 'ah!' in the first group evaluation. but i agree, it would be nice to see an official pledis activity that involved an after school song.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

yeah, i guess i wasn't clear enough for OP (but i also i don't think there's anyone who doesn't know after school is dead) but i also didn't think it warranted that kind of response jeez. as if i said pledis girlz should never debut (and this is my first time in a pg post anyway).

i know pg covered after school before, i watched produce 101. but i thought it would be a logical continuation to have after school after seventeen. plus it would have been nice to have all of them cover an after school song with vocals and dance, considering there were only five (?) members on p101.

[adenar.livejournal.com]

they've also covered nu'est before who aren't exactly publically big atm so yeah, it does feel weird to leave after school out. Then again they haven't covered any Son Dambi and she was pledis' major soloist up until about the last time After School promoted in SK. It makes sense to cover bands that are relevant but it is a shame to see the company history - some very big female artists - just kind of being wiped.

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

pledis girlz have covered after school numerous times though (they performed shampoo at one of their concerts before as well) and so have seventeen. the latter also used to give son dambi a lot of shout-outs but since she's no longer signed under pledis, i don't know if it's realistic to expect any of the younger groups to pay homage to her anymore? i'm not sure if "female artists being wiped from the company's history" is really the case here, at least not as far as after school is concerned.

[adenar.livejournal.com]

i didn't know that! you should recommend the concert covers to the other poster in this thread. i retract my statement.

i'm not expecting anything i just think it'd be nice tbh

[juhli.livejournal.com]

They did an amazing (reinvented) cover of Bang in one of their concerts with vocals and full-line-up :D

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

you can't blame me for overreacting when after school stans always leave rude and whiny comments under pledis girlz-related articles and videos (but you said this is your first time in a pledis girlz post so i guess you wouldn't know). that's how i interpreted your comment? someone complaining about pledis debuting another group when they could be giving after school a comeback instead. but since you're saying that wasn't your intention, i apologize for sounding as aggressive as i did.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

it's ok, i understand. it sucks for after school fans as there hasn't been an official disbandment but surely they know they are practically disbanded. ofc attacking pledis girlz makes no sense. sorry, i should have been clearer. what i meant was that it would have been nice for them to cover after school as they covered seventeen before and they're both from pledis, that's what i expected

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

don't worry, it's fine, i'm just a defensive stan lmao. and there's still a chance they might cover after school since there will be four cover videos in total.

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

the second i read your comment i got what you meant (i thought the same)

[bmo.livejournal.com]

shannon needs to be center more often shes so queen. i luv pinky but everytime shannon is near/in the middle my eyes dance with her. i luv her. shes so good at everything. i cant believe shes somehow both their best vocalist and dancer.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

Shannon is so talented, i love her voice and she has so much stage presence. And she makes the cutest faces. I think she became my bias after i watched a fancam of hers when they didnt have a full choreo for We yet.

[mspopstar.livejournal.com]

Idc what anyone says, CMIYC is a bop and always has been.

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

Yes, that song is catchy as hell! Definitely on my workout playlist! Plus the choreo is one of the best if not THE BEST choreo that SoShi has ever had XD

[adenar.livejournal.com]

finally a cover for the only decent post-sica release
this is really good too they sound great and they're so in sync, they're getting at that famous pledis synchronicity

i can't believe kahi ever called kyulkyung a bad center just because she whipped hair in her face that one time. she's mesmerising and kahi is bitter

i feel like i saw next to no yebin in this? did she have lines or did i just completely blank her out? i don't normally do that she's so charismatic

[haroobommi.livejournal.com]

that Shannon girl always manages to catch my attention in whatever cover they do.
what is her position in the group?

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

i don't think they have official positions yet but judging by how many lines she usually gets, she's definitely one of the main vocals (along with yewon and/or eunwoo)

[bmo.livejournal.com]

same. she's rly good at everything!!! and she has so much energy when she dances. shes the main vocal along w/ yewon.

[haroobommi.livejournal.com]

she isn't lead dancer or something then? so it's just her charisma that gets me...

[bmo.livejournal.com]

i dun think they've picked positions yet but shes their best dancer by far!

[aeries-amethyst.livejournal.com]

I can't believe I'm actually saying this especially with how half assed SoShi has been these days with their performances these days but I think they actually went harder in the choreo than these girls O_O

Anyways, not a big deal. These girls still have potential nonetheless. They still haven't debuted yes so I'm sure that they'll improve over time. They've piqued my interest a little bit so I'll check them out when they do debut. I just hope Pledis actually manages them well OTL

[smyers92.livejournal.com]

I kinda agree. This is a great cover, but I feel like it lacked something (probably hyoyeon, but I think I'm a little biased)

[juhli.livejournal.com]

yeah, some moves could have been hit harder. It seems like they were more concentrated on getting the moves right (esp. kyla), so they were missing that 10%.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

i'm still dying from that mariah carey auntie is shaking comment from their vlive lmao

while i'm glad they covered this, as a whole it didn't seem super strong, kind of looked like they were holding back? but it's still early for them so i'm looking forward to how they can improve for their debut!

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

already in love with eunwoo but their energy in this and the adore u cover is off and they lack sharpness (maybe they're tired from the concerts idk)

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

lol honestly? dancing isn't one of their fortes. they don't really have a stand-out dancer like many other groups do but they're all decent and can dance in sync. their vocals >>>

i thought the adore u cover was great but they did lack energy in this one.

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

lmao i can't believe my comment in that nct post got you interested.

there are 10 members (https://twitter.com/tiffanyeunwoo/status/716256606548332544) in total, 7 of which participated in produce 101, which is why a lot of people are already somewhat familiar with the girls. on top of that, 2 of them (nayoung and jieqiong) ended up making it into ioi and have been promoting with the group non-stop last year.

for a few months the members that didn't make it (with occasional guest appearances from the 2 that did) held little concerts to showcase their talents and prepare for debut! they have quite the dedicated fanbase already.
anyway, the girls are having their last pre-debut concert tomorrow (january 6th) where they will finally announce their official group name and hopefully give us an idea of when they're gonna debut. there's no exact date yet but it's not gonna happen before february since pledis are waiting for ioi to disband first before debuting their own group (ioi's contract ends this month).

'we' was composed by two members of the group, eunwoo and sungyeon! if you liked it, then i suggest you to check out 'rollercoaster' as well (composed by woozi of seventeen and kye bumzu)!

'don't do it/stop it (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xcPE8X0Oo0I)' is another song composed by the girls! they also wrote the lyrics to all 3 of those songs btw, they're really talented!

and if you haven't yet, you should check out their (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnxLY9cf1l4) solo (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j2QaFvckmzo) practice (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5ATgvqsSO6c) videos (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tF7dojBu6lU)!

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

not really, i'm sorry :c but you could try looking through the 'pledis entertainment' tag on omona? you'd have to wade through some seventeen/nuest/afterschool posts but i think all the important activities and events were posted about on here.

[juhli.livejournal.com]

I love We too! It's such a comforting pick-you-up song and knowing that the girls made the song themselves gives it a deeper meaning.

[cxxl.livejournal.com]

I was trying to figure out who was Pinky (is she in the tracksuit combo). I think that's her, she definitely was one of the best.
The girl with the bangs and ponytail though 👌🏾👌🏾👌🏾
I feel like one other girl was worth watching but I can't remember her.
I definitely appreciate them doing CMIYC, especially since that song was hated!

[antrea.livejournal.com]

(yep, that's Pinky~)

[antrea.livejournal.com]

For some reason I didn't remember this choreo being so hard-hitting? They slayed it!!

[cuyler-morgan.livejournal.com]

Who's Ponytail? I like her.

[kyulkyung.livejournal.com]

that's yewon! she's one of the main vocals and also a really good dancer c:
