you'd think after releasing the same song and doing the same dance routine for 2 years, infinite would be able to actually sing well live

[diligentsesame.livejournal.com]

[eishastan.livejournal.com]

Yay! one more for Taetiseo <3 and Sistar still going strong!

and btw i like that new girl group "She'z" they are pretty and i like the song!

suits. ♥ prince youngwon looked beautiful today. /but the camera man seriously pissed me off, skipped my favorite (youngwon's) part/


appreciate the beauty. so handsome. congrats on your debut stage, love.

Did Dalmatian have a problem with the mikes? :/
Loved Infinite's stage, especially the ballad one, it was really good. Not enough Sungyeol.

[gashinenai.livejournal.com]

perfect comment d(^.^)b

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

JYP's still got it. Two-decade long career now and still on top of his game, vocally, dance-wise, composing, producing, managing. He just lives and breathes music and it shows in everything he does. Has time to do administrative/business shit and still turn out music/performances like these. When will your fave (CEO)?! When?!

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I doubt he runs JYPE or does much admin, he probably doesn't have the time.

[kiwilovekiwi.livejournal.com]

Baek ji young look so happy performing Good boy!!!^^ Junhyung, I see your tongue flick!!!*_____*

Dalmatian look scrumptious!!! Love the choreo!!

Sorry Infinite, I stopped halfway!! :(

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

Baek Jiyoung looked/sounded good too, even though I don't like the song that much..might be a grower though, like My Ear's Candy. And Junhyung, what a nice surprise. That hair on him has got to go though.

[http://users.livejournal.com/___varying/]

Dalmatian's stage was gorgeous - the singing, the atmosphere, everything.
Infinite's singing on The Chaser was definitely a little rough. Woohyun (who sounds awesome and totally killed his parts, tbh - I'm assuming it's live?) + the raps saved it though.
Lol TS is actually letting Jongup sing live-ish now. xD Even if bb is totally a note or so above the backtrack throughout his first line, haha.
Weird factor aside, I love the JYP-Ga-in duet. I love the breathiness of Ga-in's voice in general and JYP can really sing, even if he always sounds nasal(?).

[deerlike.livejournal.com]

Aah I don't know how I missed the JYP/Ga-in perf, but I'm so glad they got to perform it live. :') Also, I don't know why people don't mention Ga-in more in those lists of "ideal kpop bodies". Girl may be petite, but she's actually curvaceous (from the side and front), and has legs to die for imo.

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Infinite looked really good, I'll let their perf slide on them doing like 5 shows a day back.

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

This. People are talking all this stuff but not taking into account that they been up for almost 2 days running around promoting.

Just look at my baby Gyu's eyes in that first performance. He looks about ready to fall from lack of sleep.

He must be running on a performance high....

[opal.livejournal.com]

woollim needs to stop letting infinite perform ballads; or at least not let sungyeol and myungsoo hold a mic. i like how much sungjong has improved; true star of their comeback tbh. not gonna comment on the chaser performance.

dalmatian were great. simon has kinda stolen mah heart.

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

lol Dalmatian comeback song is blah to me but I love them so I keep watching.

And let me not even start on Simon. I was gonna stan Daniel now that my bb Day Day is gone but Simon has quickly pushed that idea right the fuck out of my mind.

[ss501pixie.livejournal.com]

I really hope Infinite can improve for next time but seeing as they had to do 5 shows they did quite well

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

The Chaser is really good, better than I though, I just wish we'd get to hear the beat alittle more though.

[eternalgarden7.livejournal.com]

I don't see why some said that Infinite didn't do well in live performance. I've always liked their live stage, and they're good at it. Especially now, even SungJong is so much confident. Maybe only L who was still a bit withdrawn, his voice didn't stand out. They are great in doing both ballad and pop/dancing songs. Even their rappers are singing ballad. Anyway, I'm so happy with their comeback! I've been waiting for this and they are indeed excellent~

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

L can't sing that well live for ballads. His voice cracks which is why I never understood the boner people have for him.

And Dongwoo has great rapping skills and is always on point during his rap sequences but for some reason or another his tempo is always off during ballads. I noticed it in the "Can U Smile" promotions, he really needs to work on it.

And Sungyeol..... well do we really need to talk about his pointlessness?

Their Chaser performance was great though, I too don't understand wtf people are talking about. I liked it and they were awesome and they need to appreciate that awesomeness.

[chunsakuma.livejournal.com]

L IN WHITE PANTS AND WITH A GUITAR HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGH

Dongwoo's voice during the ballad seriously surprised me; it's gorgeous. Awwwh, and poor Sungyeollie. I love him to death, but Idk why Woolim keeps having him try to improve his vocals because that isn't going to yield any sort of results. They should just throw him a rap line here or there (I really enjoy his rapping in "Cover Girl") and then focus their attention on having him improve his modelling skills because he has potential there.

Dongwoo and Woohyunf def stole the show, though I'm legit pressed at the lack of Woohyunf in the promo track. He's their main vocal with the most solid skills and consistent delivery, so to only give him a bit at the end of the song makes absolutely no sense to me.

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

"He's their main vocal with the most solid skills"

You're wrong for that. That would be Sunggyu.
But yeah this song was very Sunggyu heavy, I mean shit L only got one verse at the beginning (lol).
And lol at the Sungyeol. Woolim really needs to stop trying to make him happen.

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

Did aPink really recycle last weeks outfit?

And can someone tell me who's singing in Sistar's chorus. I could have sworn it was hyorin but now I'm not so sure. =[

[imyoona.livejournal.com]

Hyorin sings the first part of the chorus and Soyu sings the second half.

[ultimaaa.livejournal.com]

I actually thought Infinite's performance was fine? Idk considering they just came off doing five showcases in one day on Tuesday and another performance yesterday I'm not going to harsh them on any vocal performances. Even watching the Seoul showcase you could tell they were getting worn since that was their last one that day.

I love Sungyeol, I really do, but you can tell he is nervous as fuck singing ballads. His line in The Chaser was great, and I think it's to do with the fact he was focused on dancing. On the other hand he has over two minutes to wait and think about his one line in Only Tears; his confidence singing is already shaky to begin with and that's a lot of time to work oneself up into anxiety over delivering it properly. I felt really bad for him, tbh, especially now that people are going to use that as more ammunition against him to question why he's in the group in the first place. Which will just ruin his self-confidence more, and thus his ability to sing, and so on and... yeah. :/

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

ngl I giggled when Sungyeol delivered his line in The Chaser.
I can't imagine infinite without Sungyeol tbh but he probably isn't for singing, but that doesn't mean that he is not a good idol (because idol is not all about singing).

[devilsatin.livejournal.com]

yikes @ infinite :( i heard good things about their performances but today is my first (and last) time watching one

JYP's song is really good :3

[liferule91.livejournal.com]

infinite just did 5 shows all over korea yesterday, they're exhausted. Please don't judge them for todays performance trust me they aren't as bad as you seem to think they are.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

Letting Sungjong/Myungsoo play instruments was pointless especially since it was so obvious they were ghosting over the keys/strings but overall I did enjoy Only Tears. I hope they give Dongwoo more vocal lessons because I adore his voice and I really think he's capable of much more. Pissed the camera didn't pan out to get a shot of them doing that cool line move in The Chaser. I was really looking forward to it. I hope their performances get better by next week, it's obvious they were really exhausted yesterday.

Also, what was dongwoo doing at the back when the rest came towards the camera like in the still of that backstage video? Lol.

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

I wanted to say something corny like, 'since they're not dancing in Only Tears, at least their fingers are dancing.' but it sounds so bad.

anyhow disappointed that they didn't dance during the intro =/ I wonder if this comeback is actually rushed.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

lol people I follow on tumblr have stopped bothering to gif Twinkle performances

[we-rob-banks.livejournal.com]

aw this is adorable

[cassie-cloud9.livejournal.com]

Lol I love how ppl are getting on Infinite for their vocals and judging them from a single performance when it was clear the boys were exhausted, they were basically flying around the country doing 5 shows back to back the day b4! Please, gimme a break and sit down with all that noise >_>

Group ballads are obviously not their strong point for certain members, like L and Sungyeol. I'm always on the fence with these two when it comes to singing...L on one hand I feel can improve and has been doing so with more practice. Yeol on the other hand...bb's just not a singer imo and Woollim should stick to having him rap and not so much singing :/

The chaser performance was really good and they all looked gorgeous, cameraman didn't do a great job of capturing the complete awsomeness of the dance which irked me. Vocally they sounded much better compared to only tears. Poor gyu looked absolutely exhausted for most of it tho ;~; I'm sure once they get through this week of comebacks and get more rest and situated they'll be awsome so i'm not even sweating it cuz Iive performances are what they do best! :)

[kazu-kumaguro.livejournal.com]

honestly I rather Sungyeol singing than rapping, his rapping is also...

[already.livejournal.com]

great show today, so many good performances.

Dalmatian's comeback performance was amazing, I loved their vocals. Daniel was hot as fuck and Simon definitely gave me feels.

Glad that B.A.P finally got the mic situation under control, and except for a few strained notes from Daehyun it was a good performance (I can even hear Himchan and Jongup properly now whoa).

JYP omfg, I know he's everyone's butt of jokes nowadays but he's a really wonderful performer and I'm glad that he's still releasing music. His performance with Ga In was great (Ga In's body is insane ;~;), it brought me back to when Ga In fangirled over him during her WGM days with Jokwon.

The Chaser is a really good song, there were pitch issues here and there in the performance but I still enjoyed it (that entrance scene took forever tho). Woohyun ♥

I find it interesting that INFINITE has started to have some people who already started to complain about them -- INFINITE fans, the unicorn & flying hearts fandom has ended unfortunately but it makes the fandom more interesting I guess. Well, in the past most of the comments are about how awesome & amazing they are but since they are becoming more famous and their fanbase increases, I guess this is expected.

Well, INFINITE has been consistently good at lives before this so I know they gonna be so much better with their next performances. :)

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I feel bad for them. They had a really strong debut and consistently good releases since then so I guess people expect nothing but perfection from them. But I genuinely like The Chaser and want them to do well with it. Hopefully their future Chaser performances will be better though I really can't seem to find any obvious faults. It could be worse haha.
