Just a few thoughts:
- BoA really took the stage. Surprisingly, Gil didn't shine enough for me to be an equal, except for his solo dance, which took me by surprise because everyone knows Gil to be a hip hop singer with an RnB style. But the song was really nice. (7/10)
- A bit on the weird side for Kim C and Jung JunHa. I thought they both would be much better suited with a relaxed song like Hot Potato's Confession or anything of the like. The instrumentals made it sound more like a folk tune with an eerie undertone. But no denying, both of them have amazing singing abilities and emotional understandings of music. I'm a huge fan of Kim C, but this song wasn't his best work. But if this was his intended effect, then I stand corrected (6.5/10)
- Park Myungsoo is always a surprise. He meshed with Gaeko really well with his singing. Primary definitely put in some good work in his instrumental, solidifying him as one of Korea's best producers out there. If this song was put on sale, I wouldn't mind buying it at all, as long as it adds Choiza to it. (8.5/10)
- Jung Hyungdon definitely was in his zone- being lazy within the song, which made it fun and actually, quite good. Although I must admit, the compatibility between him and electronic hip hop is a little weird. Partially because GD and him have different voices- but on stage chemistry was definitely there. GD as usual, outstanding given his unique approach to electronics and hip hop (7/10)
- If Haha wanted to, he could switch from reggae to rock. He was having a lot of fun, and the fact that he sometimes went off key (well, the lead vocalist from Jang KiHa and the faces as well) can be forgiven because it's rock I guess. No offence intended to the rock fans out there. It's a fun track to jam to though, won't lie (7/10)
- Great instrumental, reminding me of old school RnB, but Yoo Jae Suk needed Kim Jo Han and Yoo Hee Yeol to give him a hand up a bit. YJS was a bit weak on tone, but near pitch perfect, which isn't too far off to Jung Jun Ha. His rap, even if it was 4 bars... better off as non-existent. But the song overall, was very reminiscent of old school RnB, and that's definitely a strong suit for them. I'd buy this song, if YJD could get a bit more loud (8/10)
- Noh Hong Chul seems like the best hype man there is in Korea. He acted more like a complimentary vocal to the Rose Motel vocalist. But he's having a lot of fun as well, and sometimes the slight clash in vocals really works in his favour. He's definitely more active than Haha on stage for sure. (7/10)
