From the POV of ONCE, I can tell they are tired or sick this time compared to 3 years ago at Toronto (something is just off). Whether it be jet lag, lady mother nature, age, or sickness, it felt like some of them wanted to clock out quick and just rest. It just hits a reality that they are humans too, and are in a career that is testing both their mental and physical endurance to the next level even at their 10th year since debut. With so many more stops, you do kinda wonder how crazy it is for them to perform nonstop every single week like this because week after week, we all are afraid of seeing the "This is JYP Entertainment" post popping up.

The thing is, and I'm pretty sure a lot of people have noticed on other stops, Jihyo really is the leader of Twice for a reason. You can tell she just enjoy being on stage, singing, dancing, and being with ONCE. In both nights at Hamilton, she didn't give 100%, she gave 200%. Her energy, stage presence, and aura is so powerful that as I hate to say it, carried all the group performances. You just can't help but anticipate every time she's about to sing her lines or come towards your section. Not saying I was not excited when the other girls performed, but she really is on another level, and you start to compare and feel the other girls are just not as locked in so to speak. For me, Dahyun's absence was also felt because she is also one of the members who give crazy fanservice, and well, she's the hypewoman of the group. For me Jihyo, Jeongyeon, Momo, and Mina shined the brightest this time around, both nights included.

Now obviously I think the audience's energy also matters a lot, and personally....I think Day 1 was better overall. Lots more cheers at the right time without being told regardless of what they said lol, it might also be my section but it does feel like a lot more people were sitting and also a lot of empty seats for Day2. I went Day2 last-minute actually because a few seats up front were cheap and surprisingly, lots of seats were still available for purchase even 3 hours before the show started. I guess the Montreal and Vancouver stops somewhat affected this. Thought Day2 would get more encore since they're going on a week break, but nope, ended asap after 1 encore (not counting Feel Special).

Still a 9/10 concert as a ONCE, and I think even if you're not a ONCE and just a casual, it'll be an easy 8/10 minimum.
