Performance Recaps and Videos

Royal Pirates are "Drawing The Line" by being a Korean-American band by being really good. Royal Pirates made their comeback this week and has one more performance on 'Inkigayo.' What do you think about their return so far?

The guys of GOT7 performed "Girls Girls Girls" last night. With all the acrobats and all, the singing is not so much with this song. We can see the acrobats which they are really great at; though vocally, it is not there. GOT7 will need to compose a song in-which the fans will hear their voices as well know that they can really sing. The guys are getting numerous fan girls calls this week. So, the girls really love them. They might battle it out with B1A4 next week in-terms of nomination. You will just have to see.

AOA wore their "Miniskirt" without Seolhyun. Looks like Seolhyun is not going to promote with the rest of the ladies as it is expected that she needs to wear a cast for six weeks. I bet Seolhyun would really like to perform with her members on-stage. AOA has returned this week. So, last female group to wait on is Rainbow Blaxx. Who is ready for them next week?

Wax came out to sing her soft ballad song, "Coin Laundry." Beautiful masterpiece that tells about a guy she loves that is not far away from her; though still keeps a distance. The guys doing all the gymnast moves is great; smooth choreography. Kind of interesting to know why she chose this title; curious on what her answer is. Why do you think this title was chosen?

BEAT WIN said, "She's My Girl" by bringing great energy on-stage. The guys has great choreography; plus, the beat is fantastic. Will not mind turning the volume up to this song. Such a shame that they are competing with GOT7 and are not getting the same exposure like them. BEAT WIN is really great. Keep supporting them.

B1A4 picked up their scarf and tied it like a necktie as they sang "Lonely." Though the guys are not all by themselves. They have their fans all the way. Cafe B1A4 is a great place even though it is not a real cafe. Though, imagine if this cafe opened up in South Korea? The cafe will be a place for B1A4 fans. Let's see if this song gets nominated next week. The song is great for their return. What do you think regarding CNU without his glasses? Females, tell me your opinions. B1A4 also sang "Road" as their introductory performance. This album from them is really good just based on the two songs for this week.

Rumble Fish featuring Iron performed "The Virulent Song." She really has a great voice and this song proves it. Composing a new song is not easy, she is talented and is able to think and express it through her music. Are you enjoying Rumble Fish's comeback this week?

Topp Dogg said, "Open The Door" last night. Camera editing was fantastic by seeing the guys have a black and then white wardrobe. Which wardrobe do you like? Black or white?

TVXQ came out by singing about "Something." The style of wardrobe chosen was great which is better than the others. White and black really looks good on them. The camera person did a fantastic job on the zooming and unzooming when it came to close-ups of the guys. Last night, their performance was 100% live; no lip-sync. During the past when the guys were a five member group, Yunho was not really a fantastic singer. Changmin, was not a great dancer. Now look at them now, they are fantastic! If you love the guys, keep watching their music video by helping it to reach five million views. Ever wonder when JYJ will perform with his past members? They should reunite. Do you agree?

At thirty years old, Rain knows how to entertain the audience. Rain came out vibrant by singing, "La Song." Every time Rain performs, don't you just want to sing and dance with him? The part of "La La" is really great as well. Makes you just want to sing that part. Rain has everything on this song. Fun, dancing, and being loud.

Dal Shabet wore tight black clothing for their song, "B.B.B. Big Baby Baby)." While MBC had to cut parts of their song, they still did a fantastic job. Fan chants is always amazing as well. Ever wonder if Dal Shabet will be nominated? Maybe next week against B1A4?

Girl's Day definitely has "Something" as they once again brought entertainment to the audience. Glad to see that after Hyeri was sent to the hospital last Thursday due to the flu, she is doing much better. Imagine how it would be to not have Hyeri performing with the girls? It will not be the same. Though they should definitely rest after tomorrow. Perform on 'Inkigayo,' then rest up.

The queen of K-Pop Ailee came out to sing, "Singing Got Better." Each time she sings, it brings goosebumps because her voice is so fantastic. It will be good to hear an acoustic version to this one. Ailee's voice will really be heard if she does do one.

Kim Kwang Kyu performed "Sha Zam." Tradition meets modern; not a bad idea to keep the tradition of Korea going. What do you think of this? Tradition songs coming back; though by making it enjoyable for our generation youth. Which is to remix it by making it modern.

The guys of Airplane has landed on-stage which is 'Music Core' by asking, "How R U?" So, answer their question. If they like what you say, they will take you on a trip around South Korea or anywhere you want to go for your destination with the guys. They need more exposure and fans, Airplane is a good group.

K-Much are already and "Good To Go" even though their performance was cut short. Definitely, if there was a Power Rangers Korea, this will be the opening theme song. So far, the guys made their debut since week. What do you think regarding K-Much? What can they do differently?

Kim Kwang Rok featuring Hee Chul of ZE:A performed, "It's Not a Big Deal." The back up guitars and drummer were Royal Pirates. Kim, apparently your song is a huge deal as fans had to wait long for your comeback. You truly did not disappoint by composing a great song. Do you agree?

Dia Tree and Kim Jong Seo also performed last night. All kept the crowd entertained!
