Since I live in the US and the only music show i can watch so far is SBS Inkigayo, I have to say it was overall a good show... Even with SNSD's comeback.
Of course I was cheering for my old-timers like 2PM and SHINee, who did a great job of hyping the crowd and once again the newbies, 2NE1 and 4Minute brought much joy and energy to the show and I high anticipate their performances! But of course I knew today was SNSD's comeback on Inkigayo...
There are many things I would like to point out throughout the show that proves this "Genie Generation: is a failure.
(1)SNSD didn't even make it in the top mobile ranking. This is their comeback for goodness sake... what happened to the Sone army?
The winning order went as [from 5-1]: 4Minute, 2PM, SHINee, V.O.S, 2NE1
(2)Towards the beginning of the show, SNSD had a chance to be interviewed by the hosts of Inkigayo. When they were first introduce, there was little to none applaude. After their interview there is still no hearing of cheers or claps... or anything.
(3)During SNSD's first performance there was a barely a cheer from the crowd, even though they were hyped up through 4 great performances (4Minute,2NE1,2PM,SHINee). Now of course Sones can say the fans were tired and wanted to wait for their main performance... well it seemed like they weren't waiting for that too.
Please Refer to this video for # 4,5,6,8
(4)At the beginning of "tell me your wish" you can clearly hear the chants from the fans, but see very little movement from the crowd... why is that? If you noticed, the fan chants come after every pause in between the lines, repeating the last words. But it seemes the fans got tired of it during the second verse. Right after the first line of the second verse all the chants died out and there were no more chants from then on, except for the pre-recorded laughters.
0:00 - 1:23
(5)During Tae-Yeon's adlibs, it was so quiet that you can hear the pre-recorded ad-libs echo over 10 times clearly! Really, should it be that quiet?
2:39 - 2:59 for the entire adlibs
2:51 - 2:59 for the entire round of echoed yeah-eh-eh-eh-eh of Taeyeon's
(6)At the end of the song, the only people doing the fan chant were clearly male, with their cracking, pubecent voices. After the chant, the applaude sounded really enhanced, or to my thinking was a digital applaude.
3:13 - 3:17 for the male chants
3:18 - 3:19 for the fake-sounding applause
The applause sound similar to this:
at 0:19 - 0:21
Please you this to refer to # 7 and leeching mentioned below
(7)The winner of for the night was.... SHINee!!! This would be their first time winning with the "Juliette" song. How is it that they finally win when supposedly SNSD's "anticipated" comeback was on the same day? Well it's easy... the thing wasn't rigged!!!
("8")Mentioned by many other standers (completely forgot about this one), it can be assumed that they lipsang most of the song. During the first half of "tell me your wish", you could barely hear them sing, except for the parts where non-korean speaking people could sing it perfectly. The vocal backgrounds were considerably louder than their own singing...
0:07 - 0:09
0:12 - 0:17
1:14 - 1:15
1:17 - 1:19
Also I would like to point out that SNSD was once again mooching off of SHINee after losing.
Of course after losing, they were dissapointed but kept trying to get in front of the camera by "congratulating" SHINee.SHINee even mentioned them in their thank you speech by mentioning Genie.
For people who don't watch Inkigayo, the winner also does an encore, which I would like to point out major Mooching![With a capital M]
Usually everyone leaves the stage for the encore but of course SNSD is still there "dancing" to Juliette... I think SBS were to ashamed of their leeching they had to cut off the encore short, and ended it before it showed off how much they were leeching on SHINee.
Topic Merged.
On this week you may well know was 2NE1's comeback and as i was watching throughout inkigayo, I noticed something suspicious.
It seems as if LSM has influenced SBS in order to get SNSD one win before people can start voting for 2NE1.
Many things I noticed that was off was:
- 2NE1 only did their comeback song "I don't care", while most groups do two songs for their comeback. Just like SNSD get to with "Etude". The thing is 2NE1 has done a performance w/ "pretty boy" so why wouldn't they do it again for their inkigayo comeback?
- 2NE1 was the SECOND to last to perform, with SNSD performing last. Usually comeback are the last to perform if you're a known group/singer.
Also something about SNSD's fanchants. As it can be concluded, the fanchants were probably recorded before, for the previous performances. But I think SM was trying to save face, by making the fanchants sound more "feminine", by making the pitch higher... trying to make it seem like they had female fans. But at the end of the performance, the last fan chant can be clearly heard as a group of males... now where did the females go?
Something about the program itself... I have noticed that the camera-ing this week was very... different. It seemed as if they were just focusing on the artists up close, instead of wide shots. Usually you can see the audience (excited or not), but for every performance, you could barely catch a glimpse of them. [Coincidence or not? ]
I would also like to point out after SNSD was announced the winner for this week, they suddenly take a wide shot of "fans" screaming, holding sapphire blue balloons. I'm confused... did Sones decide to go from pink to blue?
[Slight Rant that annoyed me to death: Of course after winning, they get their "encore" sadly this performance wasn't any better from the others. Throughout the first verse you couldn't even hear anyone trying to sing, while they were jumping around. You'll notice half are doing the moves while the other half are too busy calming down whoever is crying (I have never taken the time to recognize their faces). Shouldn't they just go on and sing the fricken' song! Get on with the show, stop bawling your eyes out! (at least 2NE1 kept a great composure when they won. But you know they started crying once they got off stage. Watch 2NE1 TV)
Also I noticed their encore was recorded alot longer compared to SHINee's encores... what kind of BS is this? Nobody wannts to see them on for that long! I bet they took the time they could have used for 2NE1's second song! So messed up... I can't wait until 2NE1 starts winning ! *evil glare face inserted*
