With all this being said, let's get into the performance recaps that featured some of your awesome stars.

Performance Recaps and Videos

Before the guys performed their number nine song "Something," an introduction regarding their accomplishments for "Ten" years was shown. Their performance for "Something" was once again vibrant and full of charisma by the song being upbeat. If you notice closely, "Mnet" did not do a fantastic job on the cuts because it was not lip-sync edited. So by watching this performance, you will think that the guys are not singing live.

Dal Shabet came back with a sexy concept by singing "B.B.B" which is abbreviated for "Big Baby Baby." I do not need to go any further regarding this; just know that innocence is no longer the image of Dal Shabet for this years return. It was like I was watching "Wild" or "Pandora" from female groups Nine Muses and KARA. Pay attention to the lyrics and you will know that Dal Shabet has truly come out of their shell and matured.

There is definitely "Something" to care about Girl's Day as they rank number three this week. Looks like the girls made an awesome return by doing a sexy concept.

Kim Jong Seo does not look Korean as he had a "Painful" performance for his comeback. Though he does have a great voice which the ballad song really proves it by being slow and not upbeat. The lights were turned down in order to bring in the setting of pain. Fortunately, crowd enjoyed it by screaming at the end of his performance. No one cried hopefully as it was an emotional performance.

V.O.S' Kim Kyung Rok featuring Block B's P.O came out to say "It's No Big Deal" by making his comeback last night. There is numerous love for Block B's P.O, so fans of Block B are probably looking forward to when he would appear with the group again. As for Kim, the song is well composed so I am wondering what the no big deal is. The song has an upbeat tint which is perfect to listen after a long day's work.

Two Song Place featuring F.T. Island's Seunghyun and Song Eun Yi came out to sing a cute song titled, "Age-Height." Seunghyun was adorable as the other half of this awesome pairing. Two Song Place brought laughter and fun on-stage which you can tell by Seunghyun's smile last night.

VIXX came out to say "Thank You For my Love" as the song is ranked number seventeen this week. The guys returned the love of their fans, knowing they will not get this far without them. Another year is here and the guys will need a lot of love so that they can compose great songs. The birthday cake signifies the love they receive and the candles signify the warmth of their fans.

Male duo 1N1 performed a ballad song titled, "I Want To Meet You" last night. What is up with the guys writing ballad music while the ladies are returning with sexy concepts? Truly interesting if you look at it because males are calming down for the new year while females are coming out aggressive. Great voices from these two as it once again brings out their voices since the music is smooth and not upbeat; fans will agree by screaming in the end of their performance as the ladies will truly want to meet these guys.

TASTY performed their remix version of "Day 'n Night" for which the duo are ranked number twelve this week. Looks like TASTY has some fans in Canada thanks to the power of YouTube with them being able to see them perform as well see their music video. Choreography is always fantastic and you can hear their voices clearly in this version; the dance rehearsals have truly paid off which you can see.

Heyne is still searching for her "Love 007" by ranking number thirty-six which she came out with her adorable voice. She is young still and has potential to be the next IU.  This song is cute regarding about looking for her James Bond agent.

AlphaBAT wore clothes last night as if they were telling the audience that they were A.P.B by singing "AB City." Children, you can learn the first seven letters of the alphabet by learning the lyrics and choreography from this group. The song is upbeat which is great while learning the alphabet. The guys rank number thirty three this week with this song; hopefully, they can climb up next week.

Female group Flash really needs to gain some more attention and fans because they are really good by bringing fun and energy on-stage. The ladies performed "Oh Ye Yo" last night. Let's support these girls as they can be the next A Pink.

Trio Lush are saying forget about "Yesterday" and move on by looking forward to another day. All three have such beautiful voices which they are able to do high and low pitch. Nice elegant white dress chosen for the night as it defines their image as Lush women.

Younha came out with her amazing voice by singing "Nothing" as she ranked number five this week. Younha has nothing to lose, just watch her play the piano skillfully without needing to do any choreography.

The Boss asked the question last night "Why Goodbye" as they ranked number twenty-four. No lady should say goodbye to this guys because they are really good in-terms of choreography. Sure they are not like INFINITE by being in-sync, but maybe could gain some pointers from them. Support The Boss because right now, they are not getting enough attention as well performance time as it is getting cut.

HISTORY ranks number twenty-eight this week for their song, "What Am I To You." This guys seem really tall on-stage and their choreography is just amazing; especially the head shaking when they say "Tell me your love" by all guys being in-sync. This guys need more exposure because they are a great male group.
