im not sure on youtube's policies on external links but here the link to the reddit post anyways: www.reddit.com/r/StarlightBoys/comments/1gzhne7/spoilers_from_position_battle_recording/?
You were beautiful performance was a literal perfection like whatt⁉️ Congb soft voice followed by Ivan's husky voice like it was a chef kiss right there🤌🏻🤌🏻 and then there's pentor and Xingxing vocal like i literally cried watching it😭😭🤌🏻 (PLEASE VOTE FOR THEM GUYSS I BEG YOUU🙏🏻🙏🏻)
I heard that Namson was in hospital the day before the performance, and my boy still ate. The onsite voters are either blind or deaf, cause this is the 2nd times they did him dirty af
I didn't even knew Doha existed up until episode 4. They are doing him dirty by not giving him positive screen time not the the fake evil edit version.
So glad cong is getting the recognition he deserves I’ve seen him in boys planet and he did so well in butterfly such a shame he got eliminated after that
This is my ranking: 1.You were Beautiful It was a beautiful stage, they performed as a group and they performed as one. This one of the best vocal performance in the entire svs. CongB, Pentor vocal was so good Ivan emotion and vocal it was so impressive. Duan XingXing vocal highlighted on this song.. 2. Shoot out Hangyul knows how to start the performance with his intro this kind of song is his style. But I'm not impressed with the vocals, F3 stage presence was really good Michael did a great job and Eden vocals is impressive. 3.Energetic - LingQi and Yoo Gwanwoo carried the vocal very well together with Hexilong. Gwanwoo vocal was very stable specially on the chorus his skills are very balance. LinQi one of the best Main Vocalist of the show, the adlib, the highnotes was so great. And even his dancing is so good. Xinche did good and the others too Hexilong vocal was good too. 4. I'LL be Your Man- The members of this team are one of the skilled members but I think that's the reason why their performance was not as beautiful as the other team. I feel like they performed not as a group but as a solo. Shao Ziheng vocal was good the first line is emotionally good but the highnotes don't impress me as well as Minjae but we all know that their skills are not limited to this song because we know how good they are it's just that the song was really hard. It feels like they wanted to do a great job but it turned out not to be as impressive as a group. Syo did well on a vocal part and highnotes part. Hong SungMin all I can say is He is Perfect All Rounder, his rap style suits the song surprisingly. OP said that Hong SungMin's facial expression was really good. He impressed me though fans wanted to see him singing cause they know he is a great vocalist too. 5. Thunderous Jeongwoo is a great leader but on this performance seems like He is stress IDK. The members did well the strength of the members of this group was great. That was one of the reason I like this dance group than other group. 6. Smoothie DOHA was a great member he has no flaws from the vocals, dance and rap. ZAI did great at dancing solo part but his rap was unstable. The other members are not impressive 7. Maverick Yoojun and Hikari did well they are the members who are eye catching in person OP said. But some members I don't impressed. 8. Rythm ta Not my style the dance break was a mess, Namson was great, the other 2 members was good but Jijun was a mess his rap and dance.
I'll be your man team really has good vocalists, but the way that they sing, I mean their voice tune, wasn't harmonious to this song at all, especially Ziheng's voice. Syo did an amazing job though and for me he's the best vocalist among them, so yes I agree with your criteria
YES!!! Finally your video came out!! I am so glad to see people discussing lol . I was absolutely gagged by "You were beautiful" performance. CONGB deserves so much appreciation, like he was even good, stable during boys planet. I hope he gets it this time😭😭. He even has the visuals too. Also they should have given doha more screen time. I only knew him for 2 eps and one of them had the conflict between doha and zai, which i am afraid may affect his ranking a LOT. Namson (Rhythm ta)got done dirty tho. I wasn't interested in him but that on site voting was so unfair. For him to get votes so low, lesser than the guy who messed up(forgot the name, tall guy, had todoroki hair) was very poopy of the people. He is even ranked in the top9 when he hasn't shown that much? (No offense to his supporters really). And then there's Xin che. Boi oh boi. He's pretty and all. He could maybe improve too. But i don't think he is ready and deserves to be in the group, at his current skill level. Other trainees would do much better. I would still like to see more of him tho.
Namson is so good, but the audience slept on him both times. How did he get lower than Zjj with the amount he messed up. Feel so bad for Syo, literally he killed but I don't think he'll get the votes to get him into the top 18.
God! Finally someone praising Pentor for his great facial expressions. And his voice was a pleasure to the ears like something soft. He had great harmony and emotional tone+expression. Others were fire as well. Congb is great. I actually liked the way Ivan sang or pronounced. Glitter moment with "AAAARAAAA" was a slay
seriously dont get the praise shao zi heng gets from ibym performance cause it was so... bad???? not bad but kinda mid where as seungmin didnt get enough praise. dont get me started on syo's non existent votes and compliments by the judges😭😭 also where did you get the original live recording for the performances?
on reddit! it on the starlight boys subreddit abt spoilers for position match. theres also a couple of youtube and xiaohongshu(which the reddit links to) if u use chinese sites.
Now there’s no need to lie I don’t really understand yours and the ops comments on zihengs vocals they literally sounded great especially his note the harmonies where abit off but that’s not only on ziheng? And his dance and stage presence was so strong I feel like I’m missing something because he definitely deserved the praise and hype
00:28 Finally, someone noticed that. No hate to Ziheng but that strain sounded painful but the fact his voice didn't crack because of it made me sigh in relief. At least not too painful to listen and enjoy. He did so great. Deserved to be a center.😃👍❤❤ AND THANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING SUNGMIN'S SKILLS. HE'S UNDERATED. 🙃
i didnt know doha could be this good! now im asking myself why didnt i vote him before😭😭😭 honestly doha’s condition is understandable but zai’s anger is understandable too since this is team, they must practice together to get the chemistry and good communication. im glad they are being besties after apologizing each other. AND I DIDNT KNOW TOO THAT NAMSON’S VOCAL, RAP AND DANCE ARE GOOD?? like i don't even know him before this episode (im sorry..😢) ALSO THE YEPPOSO TEAM WAS TOO GOOD... im totally speechless, same with you i cant even rank them but if i should give them a rank, congb would definitely be the #1 🎉🎉 ooh i also want to praise syo, i love his vocal sm.. actually get mad when i know he ranked the lowest in his team [sorry for bad eng]
Yes 0:49 making me feel the emotional of the song. Really love his technique. Minjae. Also like 1:01 Syo's. 5:01 and SYH really will. rest and recover. 7:36 so do I. 12:27 really love the vocal harmonizing. and yeah..no debate for the last team. I really like this mission. waiting for next mission btw.
AAAA YESSS YESYESYES OKOK I WILL WATCH IT ONCE I'VE WATCHED THE VOCAL&DANCE PERFORMANCES (i've been saving them so i don't eat up all my content in one go)
The second mission quite literally solidified my pick for the finale. Hong Sungmin for the win!! He's got good stage presence, solid vocals and dance, and proves he can be a rapper for his team if it comes to that. You can tell from Lucky Kira and Kira the World episodes that the other trainees find his personality endearing too. With that said, I'm not liking the current top 9 now that Yoo Gwan Woo and Sun Ying Hao decided to drop out. I (respectfully) disagree with Xin Che's fans, because while he is indeed improving very quickly, I don't think it's in the level of the other trainees that are in the top 9. Visuals can only take him so far, and with Shao Ziheng pretty much guaranteed in the line up, I don't see what Xin Che can bring that Ziheng can't give. So currently, here's my top 9. Feel free to disagree and comment yours!! (don't mind the ranking, I'm not rating them, this is based on age order to not be biased) 1. Duan Xingxing 2. Pentor 3. Lee Hangyul 4. Lee Junhyuk 5. Lingqi 6. Yang Donghwa 7. Hong Sungmin 8. Shao Ziheng Haven't chosen a 9th member due to the many good options we have, but here's my candidates: Minjae, Doha, Hikari, Yoojun, Eden. Conclusion: All the PocketDol idols slayed hard and deserve to be in the final line-up. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
1. Shoout out 2. You were Beautiful 3. Smoothie 4. Maverick 5. Energetic 6. Rhythm Ta 7. I'll be your man 8. Thunderous I agree with all individual rankings except for Shoot out one: 1. Junhyuk (everything was really good tho I didn't like his rap voice in some parts) 2. Donghwa (didn't like the shoot out part either but the rest was perfect. Voice always delivers and his dance and sp was really good) 3. Eden (he carried with his vocals but could do a bit better in the sp) 4. Hangyul (sp was the best of all, amazing, great dancer but there were some vocal parts that weren't that good) 5. Michael (didn't stand out)
I'm going to have a stroke because of the last ranking shit.., I hope everything changes next week or I'll boycott this, my health is the most important thing 😫
I think donghwa did really well in shoot out. i watched his unedited fancam and thought he sounded very stable, exactly like the official release version. He suited the concept very well and served in both stage presence and dance. Everything was executed very well imo
I’m used to the Build Up version of I’ll Be Your Man so I was very dissappointed in this version. Syo was good. I liked the rap too. I liked Minjaes shaky breath. That’s it. But I listen to You Were Beautiful on repeat and then I skip this one and instead indulge in Choi Suhwans gorgeous voice from his Build Up performance.
Oh also about the shoot out chorus I do musical theatre and I do a lot of belting training and to me Eden and Yang Dong Hwa both sounded supported (idk about live, this is just from the episode version). Han Gyul sounds a bit strained and nasally and this is pretty common every time he sings high notes tbh (I say this as someone who loves Han Gyul) and I would say vocal is one of his weaker points
yeah im not too sure abt the support part but i personally think it would sounded more relaxed if yang donghwa place his larynx a lower for the shoot out part but his singing style has always been like that so idk i think eden did brilliant
@@DoodyC0rn4T3 to be honest I think that big belt/corset or whatever was that, which he wore might have been a bit too tight, idk he just looked kinda uncomfortable so it was probably disrupting his breathing and thus his singing a bit
more thoughts sorry can you tell ive been insane about this performance i feel like in terms of vibes of the song eden's voice was too relaxed and pretty. i think yang donghwas chorus sounded like the right level of shouty and volume for the song concept? not sure if i've described it right but yea
Okok mine: Joint 1st: shoot out, you were beautiful For shoot out, I think I’m just biased tbh. The chorus bits were strained but overall the charm and energy got me ascending. Also I LOVE the belt part idk it just feels so unique and clean. You were beautiful was beautiful. No more need be said. I want to weep every time I rewatch it. 3. Energetic ig? It was a perfect stage but nothing actually stood out to me. Lingqi slayed and so did Yoo Gwan Woo but there wasn’t any charm to it. 4. Maverik. Like it was fine? But for a performance with so many big names it kind of felt like a let down. Also in the first chorus it felt like they were a bit ahead of the beat so that really threw me. 5. Thunderous. Not enough power but I don’t think it was too bad. I also am not a fan of the original choreography by skz because I don’t think it has the oomph the song requires. Han Jeong Woo deserved a better team T-T 6. I’ll be your man. Would be ranked higher but then you mentioned live recording and I haven’t listened to it so I’ll trust you on it. Felt like a whole load of nothing after watching the other vocal performance. Also I just. Do not like Shao Zi Heng. He breathes too much into the mic and it annoys me. 7&8: the rap ones. Okay first of all I found these difficult to enjoy because I don’t think I like the songs very much. Also it’s difficult to rank because there was such a big skill difference in teams. Smoothie: fine? Do Ha slayed, Zai slayed dancing. I’d probably rank this one higher than Rhythm Ta because I hate it less. Kris was questionable and Sun Jiang yang cannot rap. Rhythm Ta: I cannot express how much I hate Zhang Ji Jun. So there’s that. Also Phoom I respect you and your dancing isn’t bad but that man cannot stay on beat. Ke Ming Kai’s rapping was unstable. Nam son KING SLAYER and him getting lowest live votes is the biggest injustice I have ever witnessed
LEGIT!!! I need justice for namson like i cant believe he wrote all that just to get fourth. I was so excited abt maverick cuz its one my favorite the boyz songs and honestly i felt so unfulfilled after that performance. For thunderous i kinda agree the choreo didnt have much to work w/ to begin with
oh, I didn’t notice before Shao Ziheng breathing into the microphone, I’ll pay attention to that now heheh Personally I like his tone, and voice because it’s very second gen kpop vibes (he also seems to like such songs? I mean, he sung black suit in first ep) but I feel like he’s overdoing sometimes, like his expressions are too exaggerated and it annoys me
i have a theory about the ixform drop outs and why duan xing xing hasnt dropped out yet (assuming rumours about him wanting to are true) so voting has closed and it's likely the 2nd ranking announcement has already happened? and then yoo gwan woo and sun ying hao drop out. what if it's not because they do badly in it, but because they're still doing well and don't want to be in starlight anymore? so they have to drop out? however, dxx mightve already been eliminated in the 2nd ranking announcement so he's kinda already out so he doesnt need to break contract and drop out? pure speculation here idfk know what's happening T_T
alot of fans wanted yoo gwan woo and syh to stay until the finals but honestly thats just a waste of everyone's time cuz it takes away opportunity from the participants that actually want to stay since theyll be hold two spots(which means two bottom trainees will get eliminated). for sun ying hao, who was injure and duan xing xing, who seems to be the most impacted by the injury, i actually thought they might be dropping out at some point but the yoo gwan woo one came out of no where.
Apparently Gwan Woo hid his back injury or iQIYI decided not to bring it up. The whole situation sucked really bad since I wasted 2 votes on them (my picks were Hong Sungmin and 3FORM) but nevertheless, I respect their decision. There were rumors that Gwan Woo plans on going to Planet B, hence why he told his Korean fans "I will be back in Korea soon" in the airport. About Xingxing... if he still wants to be in the debut group, I really hope he makes it. Somehow his voting power isn't that high??! And I'm getting annoyed that the "visual" trainees are gaining more votes than they deserve considering people like Lingqi, Hikari, Doha, Yoojun, Minjae, Syo, and so many others are out of the top 9 right now.
r/ starlight boys and its spoliers from position battles. theres also alot on youtube if u search up the date starlight boys and whoever ur tryna find a fancam of
a lot of people r saying its a contract issue. cuz it was leaked that it was 3 years in korea and there was kinda no reason why big names like them wouldn't want to quickly go promote in china. the opportunity was probably not as good as just doing smaller gigs in their home country.
@@DoodyC0rn4T3 yeah, also they both were injured + they already once were contractually bound to either iqiyi or affiliated company before (as ixform) and the contract was bad and they were treated badly so they might want to avoid such situations again (this possibility actually makes me worried for all the other contestants that will be in the debut lineup, especially ones who already are under unfortunate contract/company…) To add onto that, there are allegations of racism and mistreatment (some of the guiders and the production crew etc) and the voting is being criticized because you can buy more votes which is unfair (I agree with this honestly). The show already was not as popular as expected, but now that some of the top contestants withdrew (on a side note, the probably had to pay fees for leaving mid-show) I’m afraid that it’s really going to flop…
I’m looking through Reddit but I can’t find any of the onsite recordings 😔 do u have a link or know where I can find them at?
im not sure on youtube's policies on external links but here the link to the reddit post anyways: www.reddit.com/r/StarlightBoys/comments/1gzhne7/spoilers_from_position_battle_recording/?
You were beautiful performance was a literal perfection like whatt⁉️ Congb soft voice followed by Ivan's husky voice like it was a chef kiss right there🤌🏻🤌🏻 and then there's pentor and Xingxing vocal like i literally cried watching it😭😭🤌🏻 (PLEASE VOTE FOR THEM GUYSS I BEG YOUU🙏🏻🙏🏻)
I heard that Namson was in hospital the day before the performance, and my boy still ate. The onsite voters are either blind or deaf, cause this is the 2nd times they did him dirty af
omg iqiyi is shady af why is all their trainees getting hospitalised
@@DoodyC0rn4T3 To be fair, looking at the theme song mission, I'm not surprised.
I didn't even knew Doha existed up until episode 4. They are doing him dirty by not giving him positive screen time not the the fake evil edit version.
right like the shade they did when they showed him walking around the dorms
So glad cong is getting the recognition he deserves I’ve seen him in boys planet and he did so well in butterfly such a shame he got eliminated after that
This is my ranking:
1.You were Beautiful
It was a beautiful stage, they performed as a group and they performed as one. This one of the best vocal performance in the entire svs. CongB, Pentor vocal was so good Ivan emotion and vocal it was so impressive. Duan XingXing vocal highlighted on this song..
2. Shoot out
Hangyul knows how to start the performance with his intro this kind of song is his style. But I'm not impressed with the vocals, F3 stage presence was really good Michael did a great job and Eden vocals is impressive.
3.Energetic -
LingQi and Yoo Gwanwoo carried the vocal very well together with Hexilong. Gwanwoo vocal was very stable specially on the chorus his skills are very balance. LinQi one of the best Main Vocalist of the show, the adlib, the highnotes was so great. And even his dancing is so good. Xinche did good and the others too Hexilong vocal was good too.
4. I'LL be Your Man-
The members of this team are one of the skilled members but I think that's the reason why their performance was not as beautiful as the other team. I feel like they performed not as a group but as a solo.
Shao Ziheng vocal was good the first line is emotionally good but the highnotes don't impress me as well as Minjae but we all know that their skills are not limited to this song because we know how good they are it's just that the song was really hard. It feels like they wanted to do a great job but it turned out not to be as impressive as a group. Syo did well on a vocal part and highnotes part. Hong SungMin all I can say is He is Perfect All Rounder, his rap style suits the song surprisingly. OP said that Hong SungMin's facial expression was really good.
He impressed me though fans wanted to see him singing cause they know he is a great vocalist too.
5. Thunderous
Jeongwoo is a great leader but on this performance seems like He is stress IDK. The members did well the strength of the members of this group was great. That was one of the reason I like this dance group than other group.
6. Smoothie
DOHA was a great member he has no flaws from the vocals, dance and rap. ZAI did great at dancing solo part but his rap was unstable. The other members are not impressive
7. Maverick
Yoojun and Hikari did well they are the members who are eye catching in person OP said. But some members I don't impressed.
8. Rythm ta
Not my style the dance break was a mess, Namson was great, the other 2 members was good but Jijun was a mess his rap and dance.
in terms of performance wise i would actually agree w/ ur ranking of putting shoot out higher than energetic
@@DoodyC0rn4T3 yeah I ranked their overall performance as a group.
I'll be your man team really has good vocalists, but the way that they sing, I mean their voice tune, wasn't harmonious to this song at all, especially Ziheng's voice. Syo did an amazing job though and for me he's the best vocalist among them, so yes I agree with your criteria
true. I love Zi as always but not the best one.. CongB really nailed it this time and his whole team..
XINGXING LETS DEBUT!!
YOO GWAN WOO im gonna miss him😭
yeah he's officially withdrawn now i cant believe it
What ???
@@panthera8214 Yep he did along with 3 others trainees Sung Ying Hao, Zhang Ji Jun & Zhao Jia Yin 😔
@@nutellasw4316 I’m pretty sure that zhao Jia yin withdrew prior to the second episode or even before the show aired tho
SAME 😢😢
YES!!! Finally your video came out!! I am so glad to see people discussing lol . I was absolutely gagged by "You were beautiful" performance. CONGB deserves so much appreciation, like he was even good, stable during boys planet. I hope he gets it this time😭😭. He even has the visuals too.
Also they should have given doha more screen time. I only knew him for 2 eps and one of them had the conflict between doha and zai, which i am afraid may affect his ranking a LOT.

no cuz i've been obsessed with doha since the auditions hes so underrated ☹
God! Finally someone praising Pentor for his great facial expressions. And his voice was a pleasure to the ears like something soft. He had great harmony and emotional tone+expression.
Others were fire as well.
Congb is great.
I actually liked the way Ivan sang or pronounced.
Glitter moment with "AAAARAAAA" was a slay
seriously dont get the praise shao zi heng gets from ibym performance cause it was so... bad???? not bad but kinda mid where as seungmin didnt get enough praise. dont get me started on syo's non existent votes and compliments by the judges😭😭 also where did you get the original live recording for the performances?

At least not too painful to listen and enjoy. He did so great. Deserved to be a center.😃👍❤❤ AND THANK YOU FOR APPRECIATING SUNGMIN'S SKILLS. HE'S UNDERATED. 🙃
God yea the guiders really were like “he looks like” *lists every black person they know*
my eyes were rolling to the back of my head
Namson deserve better
for real
FOR REAL
i didnt know doha could be this good! now im asking myself why didnt i vote him before😭😭😭 honestly doha’s condition is understandable but zai’s anger is understandable too since this is team, they must practice together to get the chemistry and good communication. im glad they are being besties after apologizing each other. AND I DIDNT KNOW TOO THAT NAMSON’S VOCAL, RAP AND DANCE ARE GOOD?? like i don't even know him before this episode (im sorry..😢) ALSO THE YEPPOSO TEAM WAS TOO GOOD... im totally speechless, same with you i cant even rank them but if i should give them a rank, congb would definitely be the #1 🎉🎉 ooh i also want to praise syo, i love his vocal sm.. actually get mad when i know he ranked the lowest in his team
[sorry for bad eng]
Yes 0:49 making me feel the emotional of the song. Really love his technique. Minjae. Also like 1:01 Syo's. 5:01 and SYH really will. rest and recover. 7:36 so do I. 12:27 really love the vocal harmonizing. and yeah..no debate for the last team. I really like this mission. waiting for next mission btw.
The rap lines in the 2nd verse were actually written by Nam Sơn. Btw, Nam Sơn's rap was fire 🔥although he's not good at Korean
AAAA YESSS YESYESYES OKOK I WILL WATCH IT ONCE I'VE WATCHED THE VOCAL&DANCE PERFORMANCES (i've been saving them so i don't eat up all my content in one go)
The second mission quite literally solidified my pick for the finale. Hong Sungmin for the win!! He's got good stage presence, solid vocals and dance, and proves he can be a rapper for his team if it comes to that. You can tell from Lucky Kira and Kira the World episodes that the other trainees find his personality endearing too.
With that said, I'm not liking the current top 9 now that Yoo Gwan Woo and Sun Ying Hao decided to drop out. I (respectfully) disagree with Xin Che's fans, because while he is indeed improving very quickly, I don't think it's in the level of the other trainees that are in the top 9. Visuals can only take him so far, and with Shao Ziheng pretty much guaranteed in the line up, I don't see what Xin Che can bring that Ziheng can't give.
So currently, here's my top 9. Feel free to disagree and comment yours!! (don't mind the ranking, I'm not rating them, this is based on age order to not be biased)
1. Duan Xingxing
2. Pentor
3. Lee Hangyul
4. Lee Junhyuk
5. Lingqi
6. Yang Donghwa
7. Hong Sungmin
8. Shao Ziheng
Haven't chosen a 9th member due to the many good options we have, but here's my candidates: Minjae, Doha, Hikari, Yoojun, Eden.
Conclusion: All the PocketDol idols slayed hard and deserve to be in the final line-up. Thank you for coming to my TED Talk.
Yes we agree with you. Like Ling Qi is severely underrated. His present ranking is real bad. 😅. We worry he may not make into the finals.😢
3:44 i kinda like his voice here
yea i think not having to sing live rlly help his stage presence also
1. Shoout out
2. You were Beautiful
3. Smoothie
4. Maverick
5. Energetic
6. Rhythm Ta
7. I'll be your man
8. Thunderous
I agree with all individual rankings except for Shoot out one:
1. Junhyuk (everything was really good tho I didn't like his rap voice in some parts)
2. Donghwa (didn't like the shoot out part either but the rest was perfect. Voice always delivers and his dance and sp was really good)
3. Eden (he carried with his vocals but could do a bit better in the sp)
4. Hangyul (sp was the best of all, amazing, great dancer but there were some vocal parts that weren't that good)
5. Michael (didn't stand out)
Wang Kun is mot a rapper but he still did it
I'm going to have a stroke because of the last ranking shit.., I hope everything changes next week or I'll boycott this, my health is the most important thing 😫
The Michael Jackson/Bruno Mars thing pmo so bad cos they are just naming random dark skin people to compare him to. Bruno Mars isn't even black
"You Were Beautiful" group, I think they don't use ADLIBS. Because I saw their video singing without background music and it's still good
I think donghwa did really well in shoot out. i watched his unedited fancam and thought he sounded very stable, exactly like the official release version. He suited the concept very well and served in both stage presence and dance. Everything was executed very well imo
I’m used to the Build Up version of I’ll Be Your Man so I was very dissappointed in this version. Syo was good. I liked the rap too. I liked Minjaes shaky breath. That’s it. But I listen to You Were Beautiful on repeat and then I skip this one and instead indulge in Choi Suhwans gorgeous voice from his Build Up performance.
Oh also about the shoot out chorus
I do musical theatre and I do a lot of belting training and to me Eden and Yang Dong Hwa both sounded supported (idk about live, this is just from the episode version). Han Gyul sounds a bit strained and nasally and this is pretty common every time he sings high notes tbh (I say this as someone who loves Han Gyul) and I would say vocal is one of his weaker points
yeah im not too sure abt the support part but i personally think it would sounded more relaxed if yang donghwa place his larynx a lower for the shoot out part but his singing style has always been like that so idk i think eden did brilliant

i love your revieww
Okok mine:
Joint 1st: shoot out, you were beautiful
For shoot out, I think I’m just biased tbh. The chorus bits were strained but overall the charm and energy got me ascending. Also I LOVE the belt part idk it just feels so unique and clean.
You were beautiful was beautiful. No more need be said. I want to weep every time I rewatch it.
3. Energetic ig? It was a perfect stage but nothing actually stood out to me. Lingqi slayed and so did Yoo Gwan Woo but there wasn’t any charm to it.
4. Maverik. Like it was fine? But for a performance with so many big names it kind of felt like a let down. Also in the first chorus it felt like they were a bit ahead of the beat so that really threw me.
5. Thunderous. Not enough power but I don’t think it was too bad. I also am not a fan of the original choreography by skz because I don’t think it has the oomph the song requires. Han Jeong Woo deserved a better team T-T
6. I’ll be your man. Would be ranked higher but then you mentioned live recording and I haven’t listened to it so I’ll trust you on it. Felt like a whole load of nothing after watching the other vocal performance. Also I just. Do not like Shao Zi Heng. He breathes too much into the mic and it annoys me.
7&8: the rap ones. Okay first of all I found these difficult to enjoy because I don’t think I like the songs very much. Also it’s difficult to rank because there was such a big skill difference in teams.
Smoothie: fine? Do Ha slayed, Zai slayed dancing. I’d probably rank this one higher than Rhythm Ta because I hate it less. Kris was questionable and Sun Jiang yang cannot rap.
Rhythm Ta: I cannot express how much I hate Zhang Ji Jun. So there’s that. Also Phoom I respect you and your dancing isn’t bad but that man cannot stay on beat. Ke Ming Kai’s rapping was unstable. Nam son KING SLAYER and him getting lowest live votes is the biggest injustice I have ever witnessed
LEGIT!!! I need justice for namson like i cant believe he wrote all that just to get fourth. I was so excited abt maverick cuz its one my favorite the boyz songs and honestly i felt so unfulfilled after that performance. For thunderous i kinda agree the choreo didnt have much to work w/ to begin with
oh, I didn’t notice before Shao Ziheng breathing into the microphone, I’ll pay attention to that now heheh
Personally I like his tone, and voice because it’s very second gen kpop vibes (he also seems to like such songs? I mean, he sung black suit in first ep) but I feel like he’s overdoing sometimes, like his expressions are too exaggerated and it annoys me
@yeol174 YOURE SO RIGHT everything feels way too exaggerated and too dramatic it feels messy
Gwanwoo , yinghao and jijun withdrew 😭
yeah man this show is in the shitters rn
What???
gwan woo😭
Where do you find the onsite videos with unedited vocals?
i have a theory about the ixform drop outs and why duan xing xing hasnt dropped out yet (assuming rumours about him wanting to are true)
so voting has closed and it's likely the 2nd ranking announcement has already happened? and then yoo gwan woo and sun ying hao drop out. what if it's not because they do badly in it, but because they're still doing well and don't want to be in starlight anymore? so they have to drop out?
however, dxx mightve already been eliminated in the 2nd ranking announcement so he's kinda already out so he doesnt need to break contract and drop out?
pure speculation here idfk know what's happening T_T
alot of fans wanted yoo gwan woo and syh to stay until the finals but honestly thats just a waste of everyone's time cuz it takes away opportunity from the participants that actually want to stay since theyll be hold two spots(which means two bottom trainees will get eliminated). for sun ying hao, who was injure and duan xing xing, who seems to be the most impacted by the injury, i actually thought they might be dropping out at some point but the yoo gwan woo one came out of no where.
Apparently Gwan Woo hid his back injury or iQIYI decided not to bring it up. The whole situation sucked really bad since I wasted 2 votes on them (my picks were Hong Sungmin and 3FORM) but nevertheless, I respect their decision. There were rumors that Gwan Woo plans on going to Planet B, hence why he told his Korean fans "I will be back in Korea soon" in the airport.
About Xingxing... if he still wants to be in the debut group, I really hope he makes it. Somehow his voting power isn't that high??! And I'm getting annoyed that the "visual" trainees are gaining more votes than they deserve considering people like Lingqi, Hikari, Doha, Yoojun, Minjae, Syo, and so many others are out of the top 9 right now.
valid
I'm trying to find the onsite recs, would you mind telling me the specific subreddit and post? Thank you

i love your edits and love the fact our biases are th samee
dohaaaaaaa
Someone save Nam Son please
somehow, i expected the top1
bro can you also explain why the top two members
yinhao and gwanwoo withdrawed like wtf
a lot of people r saying its a contract issue. cuz it was leaked that it was 3 years in korea and there was kinda no reason why big names like them wouldn't want to quickly go promote in china. the opportunity was probably not as good as just doing smaller gigs in their home country.
@@DoodyC0rn4T3 yeah, also they both were injured + they already once were contractually bound to either iqiyi or affiliated company before (as ixform) and the contract was bad and they were treated badly so they might want to avoid such situations again (this possibility actually makes me worried for all the other contestants that will be in the debut lineup, especially ones who already are under unfortunate contract/company…)
To add onto that, there are allegations of racism and mistreatment (some of the guiders and the production crew etc) and the voting is being criticized because you can buy more votes which is unfair (I agree with this honestly).
The show already was not as popular as expected, but now that some of the top contestants withdrew (on a side note, the probably had to pay fees for leaving mid-show) I’m afraid that it’s really going to flop…
