it's ok, seungri. you can just say you think hyuna's hot.

and miryo should've been number 1 for female idol rappers, lbr.

[majaiku.livejournal.com]

ya this list is broke where is she

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

GD as "best rapper." Okay. Suuuuuure.

And I bet all 6 of Taemin's votes for "best dancer" all came from EXO-K. LOL

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I bet all 6 of Taemin's votes for "best dancer" all came from EXO-K
LMAO. I find him a really good dancer but I agree xDDD

[miuratenshi.livejournal.com]

Glad to see Hongki on the vocalist ranking. I wish Onew was there too.

And how did Krystal beat Sulli for Best Visual?!

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

I like Sulli but Krystal has an aura about her, Sulli is pretty but plain for me.

[stephantasm.livejournal.com]

lmao

[kiiddkarma.livejournal.com]

MTE

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

I hate to sound like the stereotypical omonian here, but GD better than Zico in rapping? puh-lease. GD is talented, but Zico obviously is better.

And Minzy a better dancer than BoA? I can't even.

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

IA

[jeugd1.livejournal.com]

I will never get the love Taeyeon get's for her vocals, she's the best out of the 9 but alone her voice is weak compared to other Korean girls

[kiiddkarma.livejournal.com]

I agree.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I'm really happy to see Hongki on the list. I feel like he doesn't get enough credit as a vocalist, when in fact, he has a great voice. I always enjoy F.T Island lives for his voice alone.

Nope @ Ailee being below Taeyeon. Just no.

Not even going to touch the rappers category...

And is Jo Kwon is still a thing?

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Happy to see Hongki on the list too. He's great at live. Although I never understand Omona hate for FTI, I for one love their songs!

[pepper.livejournal.com]

Here for my babies: Junsu, Taeyeon, Hyoyeon, TOP, L, Jaejoong, Suzy, Hyuna and my flawless queen Yoona. Needless to say, I agree with about... half of these. Maybe less.

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Yeah. I always thought GD's a better dancer, if he actually bothered to dance.

[cheatedmyheart.livejournal.com]

Although I'm pleased with the ranking for the male vocalists, I really hoped to see someone from K.R.Y. Overall, the ranking for each category is pretty much expected.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

KRY is forever underrated :(

[crazyxcami.livejournal.com]

The fact that 'these' idols think Miryo & Gary are "idols" (going by korea's standard of idols) boggles my mind. I think I'm offended actually. lol

[sub-divided.livejournal.com]

So 9 of Kwanghee's votes came from members of Z:EA, but what about the other 7?

[engraved-16.livejournal.com]

Ehh to this list. But whatever, you know that not everyone is gonna be satisfied with these ranking's and stuff lol

[sunshine2163.livejournal.com]

I am going to need for the words SWAG and LEGGo to be burned into the fiery pits of hell and that for god to smite anyone who says them.....

[oniongulru.livejournal.com]

MTE. most overused words in the fukin industry and no one even seems to know what they mean.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Are both GD and Taeyang really great at rapping & dancing? I find them mediocre at best. Perhaps I didn't see their works enough to make judgement...

[uledy.livejournal.com]

It's tough to tell with Taeyang. He's been doing the same moves for 4+ years now. Also, kid is running the dougie into the ground (as if it weren't already played out)...

[angel-9-lives.livejournal.com]

whereTF is Yunho for best dancer?? o.O

[anconeous.livejournal.com]

Too busy being a fabulous tease.





But I totally get why he's not on the list.

[sunshine2163.livejournal.com]

Neither Zico nor GD are that great of rappers

[jjang-intae.livejournal.com]

Meh I completely disagree with this whole thing. How is Gary an idol?

[sweet16een.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that Leessang was a idol duo

[4rang.livejournal.com]

Everyone has personal tastes and opinions and blah blah blah, but this list is a mess.

[prek-drugz.livejournal.com]

laughs at the male ulzzang section

[feel-my-mind.livejournal.com]

You know, I was already offended with Hongki being below anyone in SHINee, I couldn't make it further. The guy might have one have a questionable personality, but he can sing. And where the hell is KRY? (That said, I'm 100% sure there easily people that can fit between him and Junsu -who I don't get the love for, but whatevers- however I'm also certain its nobody from SHINee.

[scarletapples.livejournal.com]

Pretty meh list imo. Here for Ailee though (& please release a full-album or another mini soon D:)

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

Now Minji is my boo, but over BoA. No. Also, replace Hyuna with Kahi and/or Jia. They needed to be on the dance list.

My revised Female Dance List would be
1. BoA
2. Kahi
3. Hyoyeon, Min, Jia, Fei, Minzy

Dang at Taeyang getting 37 votes. Such a big gap from 1st to 2nd place.

Meh at Jun.K vocals.

lol @ Dongho's statement. I feel like I need video of him saying that so I can laugh some more.

[jeugd1.livejournal.com]

BoA #1?

[meridianslair.livejournal.com]

minho isnt good looking I DONT UNDERSTAND

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

Its personal taste and opinion *shrugs* I think he looks fine, but hey, I didn't vote.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

wtf at not one 2AM member being in the bale vocalist list, but i am so proud that yerin made the female vocalists list! i love her voice so much!

and rly people, REALLY? cl above miryo?!!

and i love hyuna, but she is too high and min and boa are too low, and minzy shouldn't be the first tbh.

and omg suzy, your big bang stanning is showing girl.

i am not surprised by the best visual results, it's always the same people, yoona and suzy always topping it.

[in-noctem.livejournal.com]

I'm surprised Yerin made it ngl (even if it's 2 votes) :o
