Performance Recaps + Videos

Eric Nam

Eric Nam made his debut as he sang, "Ooh Ooh" last night. Looks like Eric has a catchy new single that is going to make everyone dance and sing while walking on the sidewalk. Electro as well dance, makes this one that Eric lovers will enjoy. Including the electro/dance beat to it, there is some funk as well. Great sound and simple choreography; makes this single one that might place him up for nomination as well a first place win. Also, noticed that Eric threw in a few Michael Jackson lyrics as he said, "Chamon." Truly, Eric is bringing lots of groove with his new single. What do you think of Eric's new song? Like or unlike?

Eddy Kim

Eddy Kim returned with his great voice as he sang, "Push and Pull" last night. The single is from his new mini-album titled, "The Manual" which was composed by Eddy. The song is great as it reflects how he is when it comes to women; pushing and pulling is what Eddy does too. This single is his third track release after "The Manual" and "2 Years Apart." What is your opinion about Eddy's new song?

NC.A

NC.A came out with her colorful new single as she said, "I'm Different." Gorgeous back-up dancers which the one with the black hair, looked like Miss A's Suzy. Though, the song from her is fun and cute as the lyrics tell about worries a woman goes through when falling in-love with a man. What do you think about NC.A's new single?

A-Prince

A-Prince who are comprised of members Min Hyuk, Si Yoon, Seung Jun, Sung Won, and Woo Bin; are bringing something refreshing with their new single. "Kiss Scene" is the name of the song which has a cute dance that fans of the guys will like. A-Prince makes their return and looks like the audience loved their new fresh concept as the back-up dancers were dressed as pirates. What do you think of their new single?

Super Junior-M

Super Junior-M once again brought perfection as they did the "Swing" last night. Excluding Siwon because he is still filming in China, the other seven members who are Sungmin, Eunhyuk, Donghae, Ryeowook, Kyuhyun, Zhou Mi, and Henry are promoting this single by wowing the audience with their handsome faces. "Swing" ranks ten this week due to it being upbeat and fun. Definitely, people who listens to this single will get up and do the "Swing" with the members. Great color wardrobe combination as the guys chose black and red. Finally, camera person did a great job with the close-ups while they were performing. Are you swinging along with Super Junior-M?

Orange Caramel

Orange Caramel are really creative and changing it up each week as they once again made the audience hungry. Lizzy, Nana, and Raina had back-up dancers as they screamed with them at the beginning too. Last night, their wardrobe was French fries as they sang, "Catallena." The single ranks sixth as they are truly having fun each week. You do not know what the girls will bring as well wear when they perform. So far, you saw sushi, doughnuts, hamburgers, and now french fries; what will you see next from them? What do you think about Orange Caramel having back-up dancers? Like or unlike? Also, Orange Caramel deserves a first place win. Creativity and fun, what more can you not ask to make this single a winner.

Crayon Pop

Crayon Pop once again brought numerous energy as they performed "Uh-ee" which ranks fifth this week. Color of their wardrobe was white with the red scarf on their head. Those back-up dancers are having a great time; especially, the guy with the ponytail as he had so much fun last night. Kind of distracting because instead of seeing the girls, you are seeing him and wondering what he will do next. Though, the girls brought smiles to the audience and screamed once they finished. What do you think about the guy with the ponytail? Distracting or not?

A Pink

Ladies of A Pink who are comprised of members Chorong, Bomi, Eunji, Naeun, Namjoo, and Hayoung once again wowed the audience as they blew kisses to the males with "Mr. Chu." Spring season is here, so the members wore a beautiful sky blue spring dress. With a little touch of make-up, the ladies looked great. Each week A Pink performs, fan chants from the males is extraordinary as they scream for the girls. Guys, are you also screaming for A Pink?

MBLAQ

Goodbye to MBLAQ as the guys are ending their promotions for "Be a Man" this week. They should have really won at least one trophy; though this did not happen to them. MBLAQ wanted to bring a more mature concept; which they did. Sadly, it was just not a strong contender as it only ranked on the top ten. Did you enjoy seeing this guys promote their song over the past weeks? Truly, they have awesome voices.

4Minute

Jihyun, Gayoon, Jiyoon, HyunA, and Sohyun who are known as 4Minute, asked the audience, "Whatcha Doin' Today" as it ranks twelve this week on the 'Music Core' chart. Upbeat, club-style music is what the girls brought as they charmed the audience with their cute and sexy choreography. Poor Jihyun is always at the back and really should show herself more by being in-front of the group. Her other members are receiving way too much attention. Though, Jihyun was energetic when she did her mini solo part. Colorful wardrobes each of the members wore; especially HyunA as she wore a leopard shirt that read, "Leopard Is In." Do you think Jihyun is not getting enough attention in the group?

Mad Clown

Mad Clown featuring SISTAR's Hyorin came out with their single, "Without You" as it explains about the struggles of love. Ambience of the stage was dark to give off the feeling of the performance as rapper Mad Clown argued with Hyorin; while she pleads that living without a man is okay as long she loves him. Mad Clown deserves a win with this single. Do you think he will win a first place trophy next week? This week, "Without You" ranks fourth.

Baechigi

Baechigi came out without the female back-up dancers as they performed their upbeat single, "Dduraeyo" by ranking fourteen this week. Two of the guys are looking great with their dark shades as the lyrics tells about a break-up. Are you loving Baechigi's new single?

NS Yoon-G

Beautiful NS Yoon-G once again steamed up the stage as she performed "Yasisi." The single ranks seventeen this week. Dark see-through wardrobe showed her great figure as she seductively performed for the audience; especially the males. Do you consider this her best performance?

JJCC

JJCC (pronounced Double JC) performed their single, "At First" by making the ladies scream again last night. JJCC is a group comprised of members SimBa, E.co, EDDY, San Cheong, and Prince Mak. Though their performance was cut short, the guys still wowed the audience; especially, the ladies with their handsome faces and voices. Are you a fan of Jackie Chan's group?

F.CUZ

The guys of F.Cuz who are comprised of Jinon, Daegun, Raehyun, Kan, and Yejun has really grown-up by only having "One Love." Ladies loves it as they were screaming throughout their performance. "One Love" is a great upbeat song that shows the sweet as well gentle side to the guys. Stephen Mcnair, STAR GiTAR, and Lee Ji Eun helped compose the song. Are you loving their new single?

TINT

TINT came on-stage to say that "The Wolf is Stupid" as they wore an orange skirt and white long-sleeves shirt. The song is cute while having the message of telling man to not be a "stupid" wolf. Appreciate the woman who is in-love with you. What do you think of TINT's performance last night?

Nell

Want to escape for a few minutes? Then listen to Nell's other single, "The Great Escape" as the band-members rocked it out again last night. Ladies screamed as they love the performance as it blends medium tempo and rock. Dark and foggy stage setting, gives this single one in-which people just want to escape from reality for just a bit. So if you want to escape the stress of life, listen to this single.

Melody Day

Melody Day once again sang with their flawless voices by having "Another Parting" last night. This trio group is known for their voices as they sing about love and break-ups. Your happy when in-love; once a break-up happens, your sad. Melody Day is one group on the ballad category that people go to when their love one breaks up with him/her. Are you a Melody Day supporter?

7th Grade 1st Class

The girls of 7th Grade 1st Class has caught the "Oppa Virus" and will do anything to make sure that their "Oppa" does great on the tasks he does. Cheerleading is one way they will keep the spirit up as they wore pink for their cute single. What do you think of this female group?
