Group 1
Group 2
First off, I think these unedited versions are much better than the constant cutting back and forth to reactions in the audience/judges
I thought both teams did well, but Team 1 was the obvious winner to me, the judges thought it was much closer than I did so I wonder what it is they saw I didn't
The Members of Each Group are;
Group 1 - Jiwon, Hyerim, Chiayi, Moana, Chaehyun, Sumomo, Ayana, Yu Ling, Li Yiman
Group 2 - Doah, Sein, Wen Zhe, Xu Zi Yin, Momoko, Risako, Ririka, Cheukying, Chaeyun
Jiwon stood out to me, especially when you compare her with her equivalent in Group 2 I thought she was much better than Doah
Likewise with Hyerim over Sein (who still sounded good, just don't think she is used to smiling whilst performing, got like an Adams Family thing going on)
Happy for Chiayi to have a good performance, Moana and Ayana were both really good to me as well
Yu Ling, Yiman, and Sumomo I barely noticed but that could be because it is too many girls performing at once
Watching Live I thought Wen Zhe improvement was overexaggerated, but she surprised me re-watching without the edits, she really did bounce back somewhat from that dreadful first performance in Helicopter
Ririka and Risako both looked the part to me, but Xu Zi Yin was the best for that performance to me
To me I think 9 members are a bit much for these performances because there are a few girls there who had no real chance to stand out, and if I look back on previous produce competitions ALL of my favorite performances had less than 9 members, it is simply too many for these kind of shows but hopefully once more are eliminated they will be able to do that
What did you guys think of the performances? Did the right group win?
