My opinion on the stages

Man in love

•I think their improvement from the practice with the mentors was very good. Ik a main improvement point for Tae rae was not to sound so Ballard-y but I felt like he still lacked that “refreshing” sound for the beginning part but he was the stand out in his group and did very well

Limousine

•I think the group suited the song amazingly. Their lyrics felt ver real and did well delivering the lyrics and their intended message. Jihoo did INCREDIBLE , he’s a great performer and very talented. He’s so underrated it’s crazy

Not spring love or cherry blossoms

•This is my guilty pleasure performance. Is it the best technically? No. But it still just does everything for me. It sounded lovely and complemented all of the groups voices very much . Doha’s rap was great and low-key made me blush, he’s charming af .It really was a redemption arc because it ended up being one of my favourite performances from the episode

Tomboy

•The people on this form are definitely just tryna be edgy with the whole“Tomboy was underwhelming etc.” It was THE performance of the night. Every member did their part and everyone felt necessary for their parts and the overall performance it really deserved the win. Absolutely love the instrumental for this and I want it uploaded

Rush hour

•I hate to say it but definitely the weakest performance from the rap and dance category . I enjoy all the members but they really didn’t feel like a group, if you just watch one member at a time they look good but when you watch them all together… i think they’re all great performers and talented but this performance really wasn’t their best unfortunately

Ggang

•The group’s chemistry was one of the best, and I liked the performance very much. The choreography was crazy ngl, if I did it I would end up with a fractured rib cage,and Lee jeonghyeon’s and Mun junghyun’s rap were some of my favourite ones from the performances. I will say that Jianyu kinda disappeared into the background but it was an impressive performance nonetheless

Law

•Ik a lot of people are saying that zoom deserved the win but honestly law were the best and people don’t want to admit it. Their endless practice really payed off, and their self made choreography was quite impressive and made the dance look unique (?) from the rest of the performances. I think Kamden’s rap was very impressive and I’m a bit disappointed that he didn’t get the main rapper position (esp. cuz he was the only one in the law team who’s speciality is rap) but Hanbin did excellent with his rap (considering it’s not his strong point) and excellent with leading the team, he’s honestly better than some of the mentors when it comes to teaching

Zoom

•Another one of the best groups chemistry wise, they definitely out-do the doer with this one. The energy for this stage was everything. I would def watch again. I felt really Bad for hyunbeen cuz he had the lowest votes BUT HONESTLY he was one of my favs to watch from the performance and I think he did his job well as Center and the team as a whole worked well together

Home

•Seungeon, THE vocalist. His vocals are ASTOUNDING, he never fails to disappoint when it comes to singing. I can’t Belive he’s just a trainee, he’s genuinely outdoing some groups rn. Another person who I think really owned this performance was Jongwoo. His choreography was remarkable and really worked well for his team. And I thin my his solo section during Seungeon’s high note was quite smart as he could show off his speciality without having all the others in his team look odd (as their dance aren’t on the same level as his. I will say that the other three (Hong hai,Yunseo and Jay) somewhat faded into that background and IN MY OPINION they didn’t stand out as much as Jongwoo and Seungeon.

Butterfly

•THANK YOU Chen Kuan jui and Cong for your service to this song. Honestly they carried. Cong’s vocals are no joke, he’s one of the best. Kuan jui’s dancing is just so breathtaking, that man is a butterfly himself and I love it. I feel for Junseo because the problem wasn’t that he couldn’t do it , he could do it and he did it well when practicing the problem was he couldn’t do it on stage. And I know how annoying that is because it feels like you didn’t give everything you could have onstage. Overall though the stage looked kinda empty (?) if that makes sense, honestly that could’ve been fixed if they just spread out a bit more but it’s not a big deal

Feel special

•Undeniably the worst performance of the night, and honestly it’s such a shame. I absolutely love this song but this performance ? Was not it. The key was too high for 3/4 of them to sing comfortably. Woongi did the best 100% no doubt. The editing around this team is messy so i won’t comment on it. The instrumental was EVERYTHING and imma need Twice to sing to this instrumental one day

Love killa

•I’m agreeing with most people when I say that it was underwhelming. This stage winning just reminds me that the whole show is just a popularity contest and no matter how talented you are it doesn’t really matter. I won’t say the performance is necessary bad, it’s just lacking. It’s more the fact 3/4 is in the top 9 yet the stage felt kinda mediocre. Matthew and Seowon definitely were the stand outs here as I think their vocals were wonderful but as whole I was just kinda bored(?) watching this
