Rank the Queendom2 Round 1 Performances

Hyolyn Touch my body - obvious

Loona Paint the town - well thoughtout stage, nice vocal and remix, am overlooking the obvious last minute change due to smaller stage

Viviz or Kep1er Wadada - former has better arrangement but the latter is simple yet well executed

WJSN - sorry not feeling the remix, their signature is elegant and cosmic concept, totally didnt feel this. They clash concept with Viviz's stage

Brave Girls - poorly executed stage, the vocals are good, outfits do not match, too many backup dancers, cheap looking props, random remix of rollin, might as well stick to rollin being their biggest song

how are people speculating loona's supposed rank if they performed on a much smaller stage with much less prep with shit audio with a much smaller audience ( mainly staff ) and there were no stakes

i'd put hyolyn first easily and that's not saying much cause everyone underwhelmed me

Hyolyn smoked the others

Hyolyn hard carried, everyone else look so lost

1. Hyorin - 10/10, a true queen

2. Brave girls - 8/10, solid stage with good energy, stunts, and vocals

3. Loona - 8/10, probably the most complete new concept for this round but even the remix cant make that song good and the vocal climax was bad

4. Viviz - 8/10, solid performance but I really felt the lake of yuju vocals in the later half...

5. WJSN - 7.5/10, sucks their prop broke but a decent stage if underwhelming, good dance break

6. Kep1er - 7/10, I really liked the intro and ending, hated the middle part and the stage felt bare, the only one where I really noticed a lack of budget, prime example of wasting a block of back-up dancers too

Overall I thought the stages were a little lacking compared to Queendom 1 but quite a bit better then rtk or kingdoms opening acts, still most looking forward to what kep1er and bgs do

1 WJSN

After knowing the hourglass had folklore reference, I gave the group handsome creative bonus. It was a Korean folklore about the kid who was gifted the lucky hourglass from a god on new year. It perfectly connected with "As You Wish", which had been a new year song. They were some regrets due to the broken hourglass still, the meaningful creativity outweighed.

2 VIVIZ

They aimed for a meaningful emotional performance and, they did it. Tears of non-buddy audiences were the proof. The performance was well thought out that the goal was achieved.

3 Hyolyn

It was a great performance and would make a great concert but, it would just a great concert performance. Nothing really special creativity wise.

4 LOONA

The idea of incorporating traditional Korean visual and audial elements, hanbok, music instrument, fan etc. had been executed before so, nothing so innovative. Also, I found Olivia's solo part with hair pins weird and awkward. The execution was not perfect either. Still, it looked and sounded splendid and great effort could clearly be perceived.

5 Brave Girls

It looked as if a performance director who had only done provincial performance had to create a national performance. She made it grander by adding some effects and more dancers still, the whole show was provincial. She could not grasp the essence of majesty.

6 Kep1er

Where was creativity? They went for a special performance on music show concept when others attempted something of year end music festival level. Flag idea was cheap and ridiculous.

2. Brave Girls

3. VIVZ

4. Kep1er

5. WJSN

6. Loona

If Hyolyn isn't No.1 you guys are watching a different show. Also, I really really like Brave Girls performance the vocals really sold it. I feel they should have picked a totally different outfit that blue outfit doesn't suit their songs. I really think if their outfits were different people would have viewed it way more differently.

Also, I know MNET doesn't want to show they have favoritism towards Kep1er but the budget was like .... where?

I feel Loona has a disadvantage because they had a different stage compared to the rest, might be a bit unfair

not only that. they had to record round 1, the day before round 2. imagine the stress of having to practice for both performances.... as well as the fact that they probably had to change things around last minute for the new stage compared to what they originally planned for

Those who think Loona would've won over Hyolyn are delusional.
