Oh noooo Yuna 🙁 the rap
Edit: her performance was just really sad to watch :/ we got to see her work so hard during practice and build her confidence up which was nice but made it even more sad when she forgot her rap 🙁 I felt like the editing for her performance was really strange too? But I love how all of the girls want to improve together, it was so sweet when Lexi told Yuna that they would help each other grow
Ohhhh. Damn. She forgot the lyrics.
Wow Savanna! That was a thunderous performance
Ps: and she’s injured? Hot damn!
Savanna killed that performance.
Feels like anybody who can pull off Stray Kids really well instantly becomes everyone’s favorite. lol
JYP, give us a Stray Kids reaction video.
Oh wow, so that’s how JYP selected the singers for the America2Korea theme song (right after their first performance evaluations in Korea), that’s wild.
Holy, remember that recent ITZY video for their song and like the previous JYP artists whenever JYP is there with them in the recording room. One of them had to stay there for like more than 12 hours or so just to sing one word or line, forgot now, lmao.
Oh Kaylee is the fourth singer!
So far, I think Camila and Kendall are already locks to be in this group.
I get anxious when I see Lexus perform because I can feel how badly she wants this and I just want her to succeed. Yuna’s inability to stay on beat is concerning. Its a basic skill you need before doing anything else. Her rap was cute and would have liked to have seen JYP’s reaction to it. Savanna was SERVING during her performance. My face was like JYP’s throughout it. Loved the shots of Kaylee, Christina and Kendall singing and grooving along. Now show us Stray Kids reaction to her performance!
Preview got lots of tears again, lol, JYP man.
Group 1: Lexus, Yuna, Kendall.
Group 2: KG Crown, Kaylee, Savanna.
Group 3: Camila, Cristina, Gina.
Only one more week left for this part of America2Korea, wonder what the actual final lineup is for real.
I think Kendall deserved that first place. Her performance was really good and so emotional.
I dont want to write off Yuna just yet. She’s still getting decent amount of screen time and she could bounce back. If her fate was sealed then I can see this show rushing through her behind the scenes clips.
One of the things JYP talked about as soon as they got to Korea was how they need to think of the team. KG doing a solo guitar performance doesn’t feel team oriented to me, and I’m surprised that she ranked so highly considering she didn’t dance at all.
I think KG performed well, but I would have docked her for not dancing. Like, imagine if Lexus just did a dance routine without singing?
I would switch Savanna and Kaylee’s ranking but the rest I agree with jyp.
Looks like Kendall’s group will do Alcohol free while KG’s group is going to perform Love me like this. I am not sure about the Camilla’s group.
So many tears next episode vs this episode. With only 3 performances, I think they will cut it to 2 perfomances next ep, then the remaining 1 group + ranking in another ep. I feel like they are kind of rushing this part 2. I need more episodes lol.
“I’m going to show this to Stray Kids”. What a nice compliment!
This show has made me realize how toxic the beauty standards are for female idols.
Watching these performances on this episode, these slender girls would be considered “fat” by the anorexic standards of kpop.
It’s beyond me how KG finished 3rd. I don’t think you can even compare her performance to the others’ given she *sat down* and *sang fully in English.* Really hoping she’s gonna get put in her place with the team mission coming up, it does not seem fair to the other contestants for her to soloist her way through.
My heart hurts for Yuna.
I absolutely loved KG’s performance, I’m just having a hard time seeing her as part of a girl group, it would be too constricting for her.
The bias towards KG is too much. She didn’t dance, didn’t sing in Korean, and just sat down for her performance.
Cristina and Savanna were lower than I expected, KG and Kaylee were higher than I expected. Kendall did really well but I don’t think she should have beaten Camila.
It’s tough out here being a Yuna fan. She got my attention from the first time she was shown on screen. I really hope she improves and gets to debut
Up until now it never dawned on me that the ending title was sung by contestants themselves. They all sound great, I really like KG’s part in particular.
Strong performances by Lexus and Savannah this week. Tough break for Yuna her performance had potential but she just lost it.
