that's fair! tbh i really only thought bain looked awkward doing it bc his outfit is NOT fit for the choreo 🙃 plus he's singing while doing it so it's even more awkward for me...
I still can't believe they gave us all the performances in one episode 😂 My ranking is way different than yours but Milky-Up is my number 1 too, they definitely made this round memorable
i had a completely different ranking tbh haha milky-up i would've put at 3rd because i felt like while the performance was super fun, it was wayyyy too focused on the performance aspect. half the song i thought were mediocre vocals and i say that with love because i rly like all of the members of this team but it just didn't hit for me. i would probably rank partners 1 and drowning team 2. drowning team i thought did an incredible job on such an insane song. partners was just another level but i always think that with jeup being there because he blows my mind every time. unfortunately i hated the arrangement for drama... it was disappointing because their vocals were great but i was too focused on how off it sounded
No one gave me goosebumps other than the Drowning performance. Drowning is such a hard song to sing and the fact that they did it and surpassed their limits is amazing. Minseo really slayed that low notes with his crystal clear voice, he can do pop too with his tone. I actually didn't expected Bitsaeon doing the chorus part and that high note tho it wasn't as clean as Jay's but I think he really showed us his powerful voice. Jay, do I need to explain everything he did that man has asthma, came back and forth from korea to japan for 4 days and just came back from Japan during the recording I don't how tf does he manage to sing so healthily without a single mistake just DAMN. Seunghun, I actually expected him that he can do the high notes since I've been watching him since ygtb. I believe there's something more about his voice his range is amazing. Overall I don't think it was a perfect performance but I think it was amazing given how difficult the song is. And giving them the 90 score is a crime tbh, there's a lot more to praise than to criticize but the judges failed to do that. They also failed to elaborate the problems or didn't gave that much constructive criticisms which can help them for the next round as a group. Didn't also like how the judges reacted when they're announced as 3rd place overall LOL. According to the live audience during the recording the judges are too immersed with the other performance they forgot to actually listen to the voices. The whole episode is boring honestly I feel like it's heavily scripted in a way, well it's mnet so yeah. Milky way's performance is such a fun stage, Soomin's voice is amazing. I don't actually like the arrangement for the drama performance, vocals are good but there's something off about the arrangement. GUILTY like OMFG there are few little problems with it but they still SLAYED. this is all my opinion and how i felt watching it live
I've finally found someone who has the same view and understanding of this episode I also thought it was lacking something I skipped some parts too I don't understand why the judges give Drowning the lowest score and their expression when they were announced 3rd placed was just sus... It's just shows how scripted the show is.
Exactly my rank 1000…% (best vocal group Partners - they’re all great vocalists & their voices sounds so good together😍 but if I was watched pre-recording in Korea, ofc me too vote for Milky-Up💯 since humans have feelings, we all don’t want to watch & listen only high notes or scream, ballads for hours, even it’s vocal show. Milky-Up can make me excited like I watched full concert in only 3 minuts🍌🥛💖)
I mostly agree with your ranking and thoughts about the performances except for that it did bother me that Milky Up was too focused on the performance and the vocals came short so they are only second/third in my ranking and Partners are my number 1 ^^
My ranking is a lot of different, drowning is my top 1. They literally rockstars. Jay and Seunghun slayed that high notes.🔥 Best vocal group HunMinJayBit🫶🏻 I kinda disagree about milky-up, cuz their perfomance was amazing, but they came short with their vocals, and this show is about vocals, not dancing or perfomance.
Guilty is my number 1.. Love the original soo much and they really did it justice.. I felt like they all shined and got to show their colour.. Donghun is my Ult so I might be a little biased but he's the best all round vocalist in this show.. A.C.E members are just soo good at harmonizing with everyone and just know where their voices are needed.. That's what Donghun has done this whole show, and I'm happy so many sees how talented he really is 🥺But they all were amazing here 🥰 I didn't think Milky Up should have won with the total votes, and I was actually a little surprised.. I guess the audience got swayed by the performance.. But I liked that they kinda said F U to everyone that said they were the weakest.. Except for Soomin and Haram they probably are the weakest team left, vocally.. But they have the best team spirit, just can't help but to love them.. I have been a little iffy about Geonu and I think I still am, I like him more in JUSTB tbh 😉 I think my 3rd spot is Drowning.. I don't really listen to Woodz but I LOVE this song, so I was happy to see they chose it.. It was the first time I really liked what I heard from Seunghun, he was the best in this performance for me.. Jay did well as usual.. I love Minseo, he's just getting better and better.. I feel sad for Bit because I know how good he is but I feel like he get's overshadowed by Jay every time.. Nothing against Jay, I just don't think they should be in a group together 🙂 When I listened to the song it did fall a little flat to me, I can't really say exactly what was missing but something was.. I love all the members of WaterFire, especially since I have voted for Sunyoul and Hayoon since the first day of voting.. I liked their performance, but it was a little lackluster.. I also felt like they could have used the stage more.. I actually liked the song DoReMiFa did, it was really uplifting and did feel like a finale song, which it ended up being for them.. I just liked Gwangseoks voice, but I think his voice is more suited as a soloist, because it's soo unique.. I hope he keeps working on his singing and doesn't change his voice for anyone 😍 I didn't really vibe with Yeo One this whole show, I tried since I like Pentagon, but he was never my favourite member and I actually find him quite boring, but that just my opinion.. I liked the In something guy (I have blanked on his name), his voice is AMAZING.. The last dude I don't really get how him and YeoOne got that far tbh.. Again my opinion 🙃
Sorry we have very different lists lol. For me 1. Drowning It's the hardest song to sing, they struggled with the harmonies a bit, but they did hit the notes well I think. Minseo's low register is really rich, I love Seunghuns raspy voice and Jay in this song is basically saying "put me in the power category" lmao. Bitseon didn't shine as much for me and struggled a bit in the chorus, but still did fine. 2. Guilty As a team, I think they probably did better than "Drowning" but the song wasn't as vocally challenging at the same time. I did love the harmonies and the high notes they did. I also agree that Woong stood out here in a more positive way compared to other performances. I think Jeup's tone stood out a bit much though? Donghun was able to blend better and felt hte most balanced. Bain had the same issue as Bitsaeon where he faded a bit into the background, wish he was given a bit more time to sing. 3. Gift The same problems as the first two, but taken a step further. Gwangseok sticks out even more, but I think they did a good job of distributing his lines to make him the focus instead of trying to force a harmony as much. Inhyuk had some nice moments as well, but Yeo One and the other member I think didn't contribute much to the sound as much as I wanted. The harmonies even among these 3 weren't the best either so it drags them down further. That said, I had bigger issues with the two below... 4. Milky-Up As you mention, it's a hype song, I was smiling throughout the performance. Unfortunately... I've heard other Bruno Mars covers that felt more impressive and it was hard not to compare. The vocals were not doing it for me. I think Soomin and Haram probably did best here, but Haram barely had any lines. I appreciated their use of Seohyun but the boy needs to show off more of his vocals not just his bass. Geonu I love his energy, but he has struggled all competition being able to keep up. I don't want to be mean, but there are lot of stronger vocalists who should have lasted longer than him. 5. Waterfire Oof, there was a lot going on here. Moving down the octaves is understandable, but I feel for a vocal competition it hurts the song more. The production is also very stripped back, which can be fine... if the vocals were there to carry the weight but they weren't. Suhwan had a nice moment at the end to pop off, but otherwise it's the most disappointing performance for me. They keep using Hayoon's voice as a gimmick instead of showing off his strengths as vocalist. Sunyoul and Wumuti was alright, but again hurt by the poor show choice and arrangement. But yea, very different list lol. No hate to any of the contestants, this is just my feelings on these performances; not every performance is going to be their best or good to show off their talent.
you don't need to apologize for having a different list! the nice thing about build up is that people can have totally different opinions than me but i can still agree to an extent. it really all comes down to a difference in criteria. =)
bahahaha not me over here thinking they ate when they did the choreo for guilty LMAO
that's fair! tbh i really only thought bain looked awkward doing it bc his outfit is NOT fit for the choreo 🙃 plus he's singing while doing it so it's even more awkward for me...
I still can't believe they gave us all the performances in one episode 😂

my ranking:

so real!! drowning last chorus gave me goosebumps! jay and seunghun's harmonies were impeccable

Same. Drowning was my favourite, I've revisited their stage so many times
❤❤❤Milky-Up, I need more Milky-Up. I miss their energy.

I was hoping Milky Up would do well just to prove everyone wrong, I kinda like underdogs 😉 But Guilty still has me in a chokehold🔥
I mostly agree with your ranking and thoughts about the performances except for that it did bother me that Milky Up was too focused on the performance and the vocals came short so they are only second/third in my ranking and Partners are my number 1 ^^
same. I'd put Guilty and Drama in my top 2

I rooting for milky up but i think partners deserve 1st place.. they harmonized well as a team. And for other 3 groups, maybe they need more chemistry
Guilty is my number 1.. Love the original soo much and they really did it justice.. I felt like they all shined and got to show their colour..

Dude, Uptown Funk was so fun, I have been listenung to it non-stop.
ここまで来たら、みんなそれなりに全員歌がうまいので、だれのボーカルが一番とかはなく、結局はみんな自分の好き嫌いやそれぞれの好みで投票しているのだと思います。
そして、エピソード内でわかることは、もう彼らがバラードが歌えるのはみんな分かったから、もっとさらにほかのものが見たい。盛り上がりたいという欲求。欲求を満たして満足度が一番高かったのがMilky-Upだったのだと思いました。
did they debut?
the final group? yes! they've debuted as bdu!
I agree with you all the way 🎉😂❤😊
Uptown funk you up!!
