Wondergirls comeback performance

0909 wondergirls

Despite JYP’s involvement, my expectations of Wondergirls were always on the low side, but these girls did not even meet my underground expectations with their Tell Me comeback performance. The 80s dance was very cheesy, the song wasn’t catchy and Yoobin’s rap segment did not flow with the rest of the song. I hate to be saying this, but their first single Irony was much better than this 80s reenactment. Did Wondergirls performance impress you?

    first. they suck.
    second. they can’t dance and sing.
    third. they’re trying too hard to be cute, sexy/hot, pretty, and one of them look like ah jum mah.
    forth. they’re really corny they shouldn’t be near the stage.

    the song’s not bad although it can’t compare to irony
    the voice of the girl in white really irks me, she CAN’T sing!!! god…
    and yoobin…sigh…the not-so-necessary rap only had about two lines? she’s not needed in the group really…
    -___-;;
    i thought they were better than this
    was the girl who left actually the best singer in the group? seems like it to me…
    sad..
    maybe jyp’s been focusing too much on Min..

    I like the song and I think the dance is cute…But So Hee? She needs practice. She cant sing live at all. Horrible.

    er.. i dont like wonder girls alot but i like their songs with that old member… whats the use of having new member if she only raps like 2-4 lines THAT JUST SAD -_- evil~

    i like that new girl O_o but maybe she should have been in like a krockgirlband? XD is there such thing –||

    The song really stucks in your head!!!!! Hahaha!!!!!
    I like the arrangement, the choreography and the catchy beat of the song…..

    But whatta heck????? No offensement but I don’t really like them a lot…..

    Their voices have a long way to go especially the girl with white tank top (I don’t know their names)…..

    But the girl in blue has a good voice though…..

    The new girl is okay but I think the rapping thing doesn’t fit in the song….. She should be a solo artist or something…..

  9. 9 hmm.. September 11, 2007 at 9:58 pm

    Maybe cos they’re only 15/16, when I watch them on stage, I still feel like Im watching an overrated school performance. More experience would definately help. Wondergirls hwaiting!

    I really don’t mind the song… or the 80’s feel. JYP always knows what he’s doing (whether he does it right or not)… and there’s always style. however, you can’t throw 80’s feel at a group of young girls with no style. you gotta have so much style to pull it off. Gwen Stephanie, Fergie, Kylie Minogue (excuse my poor ability to spell) are all very good examples of style. NOT wonder girls. and what is up with the name! JYP you messed up on the name! you might as well call them the Typhoon girls, Super School Super Cool, or Poppy Pop

    the girl in white can’t sing but she looks the youngest and she got a dance solo out of no where.. so she’s the dancing one who can’t sing. she shouldn’t get so many singing parts.

    the girl in blue messed up in the last sentence. what a shame… you were almost there.

    with all that said though… i think they will become good singers when they grow up. that is a lot of training.

    I actually thought the performance was pretty cool. And the song is awesome. I like that one girl’s (I don’t know her name) solo dance. :-)

  12. 12 Kitsune September 12, 2007 at 4:46 am

    sorry for my ignorance…
    What´s “ah jum mah”?
    please

  13. 13 Yuri September 12, 2007 at 5:03 am

    Everyone is too used to Hyun Ah…it’s sad that you guys aren’t even giving that Yoobin girl a chance. Don’t blame her for the rap, blame the songwriters. It’s not like she wrote the thing. She only got 2 lines in the song…how would you feel in her situation. Give her a chance…i personally think she’ll better than hyun ah, but bcuz she is new they have to throw something together to make her fit in a little amount of time. What if Hyun ah already recorded this song and now they have to do everything over because she quit? It’s not fair to judge the new girl, not yet. Out of this whole performance, is yoobin seriously the girl who you would throw out? So Hee, no offense, sucked a LOT more. She would be the first one I would kick out….

  14. 14 like it September 12, 2007 at 7:16 am

    it’s cute.
    its catchy, i like it

  15. 15 yoomi September 12, 2007 at 8:03 am

    oh my god.
    they need to work on their vocal and dancing skills.
    >_________<
    stupid dance.
    boring song.
    its not gonnna fly for me.

  16. 16 Kristina September 12, 2007 at 9:07 am

    ew.
    the song is SO repetitive.
    this could get annoying after a while…
    like that irony song as well.
    must they really need to repeat “tell me” a kabillion times?

  17. 17 Thuy September 12, 2007 at 9:39 am

    I like it!
    It’s cute and catchy!
    I really like what Sunye, Sunmi and Yubin are wearing.

  18. 18 --- September 12, 2007 at 1:18 pm

    yoobin is one hot girl! haha. I love her outfit. and I love the girl in the blue outfit too :)
    the song is ehh. Kind of annoying in some parts

  19. 19 rachel September 12, 2007 at 2:34 pm

    the girl in the white with the side ponytail can’t sing…at all.

  20. 20 studentgirl September 12, 2007 at 3:06 pm

    They don’t do a good job of pulling off the 80’s theme..
    Bada’s “Queen” is way catchier and more appropriate.

  21. 21 yenz September 12, 2007 at 6:58 pm

    is Bada’s ajumma thingy contagious or is tht really their concept?if it is,im so disappointed.plus,SoHee’s only 15.tht ain’t fair to her,jumping puberty and stuff.bet she thought being an artist wasn’t tht sucky!LOL

  22. 22 FeetManSeoul September 13, 2007 at 4:23 am

    But it wasn’t the clothes or the choreography. It was the fact that these five women cannot sing, rap, or even dance well. Did you see how far off the spacing of their line was in that simple-ass dance they did?

    *I* can sing better than that. I’m being serious. Really.

    Did you hear that last note at the end of the song? FLAT as a middle school girl in a ball gown on the night of the Sadie Hawkins dance. Oops! Wait…they are middle school girls. My bad. What can you expect?

    Whew!

  23. 23 May September 13, 2007 at 1:46 pm

    “the song is SO repetitive”
    If you can find a song that isn’t repetitive, I shall bow to you. If not, you’re a music moron.

  24. 24 Seola September 13, 2007 at 2:19 pm

    Girls generation is better

  25. 25 uhuh September 14, 2007 at 3:24 pm

    like it!!! except the rap part! the rap was…OMG so bad

  26. 26 mokona02 September 14, 2007 at 6:55 pm

    i like irony than this song!!
    the song is a bit boring!! @-@

  27. 27 jepjep September 15, 2007 at 5:55 am

    i did like the song. in the beginning i thought omg, like terrible.. but now i think the song and the song is catchy.. i like it..

  28. 28 Gwen September 15, 2007 at 12:38 pm

    Their stylist took some advice from bada’s.

  29. 29 unkown September 17, 2007 at 3:04 pm

    omg, dis do not look like a concert but it looked more like and aerobics work out

  30. 30 emily September 19, 2007 at 9:24 am

    hm.. i think wonder girls new album”tell me” was kinda weird cuase the stlye was just out of the bloom and the style was sorta weird for me. i think they should’ve just stayed with the “irony style” because they rocked it when it was like that. now about yoo bin, she’s sorta out of the group, she looks like a backstage dancer for the replacement of hyunah. i think jyp should’ve taken more care of hyunah for to not be sick and leave the group. a group is always the best when they have the original people in it. yoo bin doesn’t match the group. she’s the total oppisite of wat i thought the replacement for hyunah would be which is kinda of a dissapointment for wonder girlss fan. they should’ve just taken better care of hyunah so she coul still be in wonder girls. in my opinion i think wonder girls have fallen down with the popularity. and about so hee, i think she is pretty and all, but she really needs to fix her vocals because it is not going to well for her. the charisma was good but the stlye just wasn’t for them

  31. 31 YaHa October 7, 2007 at 3:18 am

    the perf, song, and dance = meh…

    but the song is catchy. it’s stuck in my head no matter how hard i try to get rid of it lol.

  32. 32 Rhhh October 19, 2007 at 9:49 pm

    i wish they would just lip sync =.=

    Sohee shouldnt even be there =.=, she cannot sing, shows no sign of natural talent and no sign of potential either. shes there to stand and look cute. and who cares if shes young? how can she learn and improve by gaining experience as she gets older when theres no talent to work from in the first place =.=

    and the solo dance.. what in the world?
    most boring sequence of leg and arm raising ive ever seen

    and the way they act… eugh. esp the girl that keeps blinking >.<

  33. 33 eleven November 9, 2007 at 6:45 am

    honestly, that sucked
    humungo mistake in the music industry
    it makes me really mad that the industry keeps on putting bad singers. i mean seriously, new band ever day

  34. 34 Jane. November 23, 2007 at 3:09 am

    Don’t you regret this post, or feel ashamed of it now that Tell Me is such a big hit?
    Lmao.

  35. 35 0 - p00h December 2, 2007 at 3:55 pm

    damn anorexic girls
    freakin disgusting

  36. 36 Samuel Yoo December 8, 2007 at 10:57 pm

    OMG Sun Mi Is So Hot.

  37. 37 blahblah December 20, 2007 at 2:06 am

    give sohee a break.. shes only 15-16 and she has yet to mature

  38. 38 Snoopy December 29, 2007 at 7:24 am

    Are you saying that Tell Me was not good???? You people are crazy!!!!! I really don’t like the new song Irony. It’s too slow for my likings. Tell Me is soooo better.

  39. 39 chrissy January 11, 2008 at 1:04 pm

    Well I guess you guys who dissed the wondergirls are now feeling rather stupid. Tell Me is now a complete kpop phenomenon. Everyone knows the song and sings it (even if the only words they know are “tell” and “me”). I learned the “cheesy” dance and performed it for my students and now I am their god. Yubin may have a “man voice” (otherwise known as husky) but I don’t know any rapper who has a girly voice. And yes, while that dance solo definitely made me scratch my head thinking “whaaaa???”, I don’t have to tell you that these girls are going to get even more popular. Their new song “Pabo” is a big hit. It seems that despite these negative comment JYP and the Wondergirls actually know what they are doing.

  40. 40 sujuroxmysox February 11, 2008 at 4:40 pm

    Ok, i know this is a bit late but,yuri, WG did record one with hyunah who in my opinion is much betr. Its not hyunahs fault they had to do it again. She didnt quit, her parents pulled her away from the group cuz of her health so before u say sumthing, get ur facts straight.and i like WG but not so much sohee and to clear things up, the girl in white is SoHee, the girl in blue is SunYe, the one in black is yoobin, the girl in cheetah print is sunmi and the last girl in purple or watevr that color is is yeeun

  41. 41 AwesomeAshley. May 3, 2008 at 11:17 am

    Oh my gah, So Hee’s kewt but she just can’t SING!

  42. 42 lala August 18, 2008 at 5:32 pm

    Is it me, or does Yoobin look WAY different?

  43. 43 unnie September 14, 2008 at 2:17 pm

    noo! this song is so catchy. i was hooked the first time i heard it. i can hear this song everywhere at school.. and everyone’s so into learning the dance cause it looks so simple and fun. and yoobin’s voice is NOT manly. yoobin is sexy and so is her voice. i prefer the rap version much better than the original; yoobin’s rap makes the song!

  44. 44 Mimi November 1, 2008 at 11:59 am

    I actually like this song. Lol I thought SunYe was Yoobin but my favourites are SunYe and Yoobin. Yoobin is so cute and pretty ^_^ and Sunye has a good voice!! Sunmi has improved her live. I was surprised at Ye Euns part coz it sounds almost exactly like the CD version. Lol you can tell So Hee is the only one that had heaps of synthesizers to make her voice sound okay on CD. She sucks at singing.. lol and she cant dance well either.
