Would you've given the center position to Sakura as well? Which group will deliver the best performance? Best/worst teamwork?

-Peek-A-Boo team 1 is doing a great job so far. Whether or not Gyuri's voice cracks shouldn't determine the performance as a whole.

-Erii reminds me of a younger, pouty version of Sohye.

-I appreciate the fact that Sakura is determined, but not once has her voice sounded good phew.

-Yujin, Hitomi, and Jurina are the ones I'm rooting for atm.

Omg my girl Yujin (that I just discovered yesterday lmao) is now in A class, good for her! I hope she somehow gets in the top 12

wait didn't they not choose sakura as center? i'm confused. probably mnet's evil editing anyways

i've been rooting for nako since ep 2 and she finally got to shine!! she's soooo cute and her voice was pleasantly effortless during love whisper. she definitely hard carried her team to victory. also rooting for juri - can't wait to see the aoa stages.

i now simultaneously dislike and feel bad for gyuri lol idk

it seems that they didn't choose sakura, changed their minds during preparation, and then the editing is hiding what the outcome of Soyu's criticism of Sakura's performance during the rehearsal was

Being cynical here, did the group really change their minds, or did mnet change it for them?

I feel sorry for Sakura, I think everyone would have liked her more if she had been billed more honestly and they had not tried to shoe horn her into the centre role that she does not fit

I've said it here before, but I feel like being shoehorned into a central role that she doesn't fit has been Sakura's entire career.

I'd be a lot more sympathetic to Sakura if I hadn't watched her be pushed by AKB management to be 'the next akb center', but she never quite managed to convince everyone. There was a HUGE push for her in around...2015/16, but she couldn't overtake the more charismatic/talented powerhouses in the group (like Jurina, who won the damn general election this year, whereas Sakura came 3rd). Personally I've come to be overexposed to her being hyped beyond her abilities and am just meh about it now.

I don't follow AKB48 so the girls are all new to me. I can see how seeing years of this would be irritating.

jurina
yabuki nako (the amount of votes she got omg got me shook)
go yujin
ahn yujin
kwon eunbi
kim minjoo
wang yiren
takahashi juri
park haeyoon
sakura (despite mnets bias shes still hanging in my top12 lol)
takeuchi miyu
choi yena

So many pretty and talented idk why mnet insist on this sakura vs gaeun thing when both are just so so bland

Honestly love whisper was a dificult one for me to choose. I love team 1’s dance and energy. But team 2 definitely much better in vocal

I at least feel that Gaeun is a solid performer with good training who would slot into the final group no trouble (and I feel bad for her after what happened with After School and her being trapped in the basement ever since). Sakura is hard working and determined but she's just not as great as her ranking and the editing makes her seem and it's annoying

Date: 2018-07-01 02:45 pm (UTC)
From: [identity profile] mortkero.livejournal.com
Agree Gaeun isn't the most interesting so far but she is solid and definitely top 12 material in terms of talent and experience.

Lol I agree with the trainee that said that Sakura is pretty so she didn't need to do anything to get the center position.
Yabuki nako and kim nayoung are so cute I hope they rise!!
I was rme at kang hyewon in the first ep but when she got the rap position and the way she tried to help the leader made me like her.

Every clip I see seems to bring me more Japanese girls I want in the final group.
- Noe is just too adorable and her energy is amazing
- Hitomi's dancing is A+
- Miyu's voice is needed in the final group imo and she deserves recognition since AKB fans don't seem to acknowledge her
- Tomu, I don't even know why. She's just solid and really cute and clearly really likes kpop
- Nako in that Love Whisper performance was great. She stole the show and her voice is really nice to listen to

And in the neverending Jurina vs Sakura battle I have no idea why MNET chose Sakura to push. Jurina has more stage presence and ability. She looks like she really loves performing. Maybe it was part of the deal with having the AKB girls on that MNET pushes Sakura and she's gauranteed a position for whatever reason.

it was so cruel to make the A trainees wait in anxiety until everyone else had received their grades and moved....

i wish we could have seen all of the centre performances properly. i have no doubt that i would never have picked kaeun or sakura for center,

boombayah group 1 should have chosen another group to compete against, that was too sad. poor chowon - it would be so hard to be the leader of a group that has already given up....

I felt so bad for Love Whisper group 1, their entire group decimated by one member...personally I preferred their energetic performance.

we stan gaeun, our ideal leader, a humble, japanese-speaking, well-rounded, talented queen.

i'm waiting for the assessment videos to come out, idk why heo yunjin moved down :( i guess since she hasn't been training long and moved over recently from the us, maybe she hasn't learned to memorise choreo/lyrics quickly and struggled with two languages? it's a shame because she's so talented and has great stage charisma but if she learns slowly then i guess she needs to be an f. also I LOVE THAT SHE'S NOW JUST KIRIN-CHAN. I'm ready for her ending pose gif to become legendary.

i'm so happy for kim si hyun! barely shown in season one and now getting a redemption and a deserved a placement!

"i thought it was c for chance, i was given a chance" i like goto moe i think she has loads of potential

ahn yoojin has a really lovely vocal tone! i didn't expect her to sound like that. her center audition was also really clever and funny.

i'm really glad a few japanese girls moved up to a and we only lost one japanese girl from it - and even then she only went down to a b. i hope that improves morale a bit. i also really like nako, she's got that charm that makes fans feel like she'd be an easy and fun friend.

it was nice that the first 20 mins of the episode were not 'the sakura show' but all good things come to an end! (i like her tho)

i preferred group 1 love whisper performance but idk what they were like live. their vocal tones matched the song better even if they had less skill. group two sounded far too babyish. nako carried the second performance.

also can we not follow teenagers into broom cupboards to film them crying, thanks.

i feel like half the episode was the build up to gyuri's vocal split...which was not that dramatic? like it was clearly a bad throat thing not a technique thing. nothing compared with chanmi. jesus.

I actually really like Sakura and am rooting for her, having gone into this season knowing no one apart from Gaeun. I know a lot of it is a result from the MNet narrative pushing her but there's something I find very charming and genuine about her. If we're talking MNet bias that I'm tired of, is the Gyuri pushing. She and Sakura are both getting an edit with the exact same approach - "I've already debuted, I'm popular, but I personally feel like I'm lacking a lot and I want to learn more" - but I feel basically nothing for Gyuri's plight.

That being said, if I could get a whole buttload more screen time of both Gaeun and Jurina I'd appreciate that, thanks. I'd let both Gaeun and Jurina step on me tbh, and I think only Jurina would take me up on that offer and I'd enjoy every second of it. I mean Jurina barely got anything in ep2 and Gaeun has gotten a few decent scenes, I really liked that one of her and Sakura interacting during the centre battle, but come ON. Give homegirl a narrative arc MNet! Don't do her a dirty like you did with Ren during Broduce.

Other early favs for me are Noe because that smile is infectious and that Nako power after the Love Whisper performance isn't to be trifled with. Didn't Nako basically score the equivalent of the total votes Group 1 got? Damn girl.

Ahhh I don't have high hopes for the Boombayah showdown. I can already see how MNet is gonna milk it (especially since Erii has been given a super woeful kicked puppy image) and I don't need to see five repeats of the same crying scene thanks.

tl;dr WHERE'S EPISODE 4 THIS SEASON IS AMAZING

The slow piano version of the group songs makes me laugh every season

Didn't the boys just freestyle whatever to get voted as the center? And the girls (iirc) didn't have a full-blown center-deciding contest, just a vote. Now they gave them even more time to practice (and even make signs). Mnet is really stretching and trying to make this a thing.

I'm kind of sick of all the Sakura focus, but you have to admit she works hard and always tries to appeal to the Korean and Japanese trainees

I'm digging this fuchsia suit

It's so weird seeing these adults screaming their heads of for these (at some times middle-school talent showesque) performances. Music shows don't really show fan reactions like American shows, so I forget.

With Eun Chae it kind of feels, I don't want to say "desperate" but it's like she's so eager. It's not just that she's a hard worker but she's always really affected by the feedback and just wants this so much.

Noe remains adorable

I think I confused Wonyoung and Gyuri to be the same person at more than one point, especially during the team battle. Oops...

My goodness! What is this ending edit? Why would you show one team's song "Peek-a-Boo" then not finish and show the other team battle "Very Very"? THEN have the even stranger edit of of blurring out the blue team? Maybe the pixels were meant to mimic the 8-bit style, but we know you the team is and you showed them anyway? What'

I just finish half of the 2nd episode but I think I'll say yes to your answer, OP.
Still rooting for Kaeun, she got me since her after school days.
Wang Yi Ren also must debut, her skill is ordinary but she's too pretty on stage to be neglected
