May Doni is dubbed the “female Se7en” but that’s an under-statement. Her voice is better than Se7en’s and she has his moves down to the beat – she just needs a new stylist to surpass the MIA singer.
I have my bets on May Doni but what do you think?
May Doni dancing to Se7en’s “Passion”
| Will May Doni surpass Se7en? 1) Of course – she’s the next Se7en 2) Never – no one will outdo Se7en 4) I don’t care |
Pop in:
Get ready for May Doni
Like everyone said, her voice might be stronger than se7en’s…but her dancing is no where close. Her passion dance looks so awkward for some reason.
“Oh sure she can dance” NOT!
All I see is a “do-the-steps” dance,
some guy teach her, and she do just that,
and that is also just some easy steps
anybody would be able to do if they just
tried to. It’s just *learn-and-do* steps.
It doesn’t seems like she really feel the
beats.
And about her voice, yes she have a great
voice, it’s strong and she know how to use
it too, unlike some *other*…
But is it really like *shocking-good*?
No, and also, very many other artists
have as good voice or even better.
And then about her look,
she looks and dress like some cheap type
you can find on the street.
Dear POPSEOUL!,
If you wanted to show us viewers that May Doniis better than Se7en, then you should have shown us another video.
When I watched her dancing to “Passion,” I thought that it looked kind of awkward. She looked like she wasn’t into it. I think that she need to show more PASSION in her dancing.
I think that she will make it in the MUSIC business.
Do you see her video with Cho DP? Well the PDiS Project that she was doing. Well, if you didn’t, here is the link: http://www.youtube.com/v/VjBJT5Maiqc
I think that if you wanted to show us her dancing, you should have shown this video. She LOOKED like her was into dancing. Her voice was good. I liked the song. I don’t think that she will better than Se7en. I think that she would be good as Se7en, but not yet. I think that we just have to wait and see her OFFICIAL SOLO debut and her many years to come in her the music industry.
Love,
Swtgrllubzyooh
i am not trying to be mean but i love her voice i think she can probably sing better se7en …. but i don’t know about the dancing i have seen her performance live and this practice but maybe like you said popseoul its just the outfit but it just look a little weird when she dances…looks disportional…. but then again (ithink i am going to technical here but)May doni and se7en ….if you leave it up to the fans than maybe se7en will win…come one people which do you see more of fanGIRLS screaming for their OPPAS… or fanBOYS screaming for their NUNAS???
Although she was born with talent, she still has the potential to grow. It is hard to say whether she will surpass Se7en because it will be unfair to judge her when she is being compared to someone who is older and has been in the music industry a lot longer. As a result, we will just have to wait and see how she does when she debuts. She hasn’t even come out with an album yet, so it is too early to say anything.
In terms of fan base, male celebrities always have more fans in comparison to female artists (not to mention the crazy fan girls who will pretty much throw away their own lives for someone they don’t even know). As a result, surpassing Se7en might be a bit hard since he’s one of the most popular Korean male artists around. Either way, I hope May Doni will keep on doing what she’s doing because there will always be others out there who won’t compare her to others. People who like her (like me), will respect her by not comparing her to others in order to create headlines about her.
In the end, it’s all about different preferences, so either you hate her, or love her (or think she’s alright).
hahaha..
i hope she becomes a..
ONE HIT WONDER….———> wannabe >_<
hahaha….
Her voice screeches a lot during lives. She has a strong voice, but I think she’s pushing vocals too far – she’s going to strain her voice pretty soon.
Example: May Doni singing Kelly Clarkson’s “Walk Away”:
http://youtube.com/watch?v=E1HPGrY4HJw
As for dancing, it’s just average.
hey, popseoul, she just had her “debut” performance on music bank yesterday. it’s on youtube now. she’s good. yg lost some talent on this one because they were focusing more on the boys rather than the girls.
uhh how does this support the argument that she surpasses se7en in dancing?
She does not have his moves down to the beat in this video, like many have pointed out already. It was sloppy, and she come off as stiff when she tries to pop and lock, if you can call that locking. She can mimic his moves, but she’s got a lot more to learn. I think she has a different vocal style than Se7en, granted he’s not the best singer, so I think she have a stronger vocal. But all other department pales in comparison, charisma wise, she looks like a 14 yr old trying to look copy Kelly Clarkson, drink more milk girlie.
okay, when you watch her youtube performance…
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7e56MhfVPf0
… i couldn’t help but crack up at 2:30-2:50. I mean.. WTF are those dance moves???? hahahaha
She growls a lot… kinda like Charice :\
Leave the big voices to those who can handle them.

She may have a stronger voice, but I don’t think she’s that versatile in style.
she has a powerful dance and voice but when i look at her closely she seems like a little angry kid to me @_@
and i agree with everyone about her head being a litte too big for her body,, i think she should have another hair-cut maybe it could help
She have to change the looks like, but she can dance
in the video you guys posted, may doni isn’t really dancing all too well. i felt like her dancing was mediocre. however, in the mv of her collaboration with jo pd, her dancing was a hell of a lot better. i haven’t seen her performance yet, but i’m pretty sure it’ll be awesome.
i don’t know if she’ll be able to surpass se7en just because i don’t think they’re on the same level yet [in terms of dancing; she kills se7en at singing].
If anything, she’s better than Boa.
Female vs. Male counterparts don’t really work.
Dumpling, (this is what you wrote)
“It was so thoughtful of Popseoul to put an “I don’t care” option. That’s exactly where I cast my vote. No, I’m serious. Most people create these voting things and never give an option for disinterested people. We should be allowed to vote, too. ”
well, if you dont care, then why are you even here? ==
i just hate it when newbies compare themselves to current singers like when dambi debuted, she’s the female rain… and there was the new lee hyori… etc…
btw, she didn’t do the handstand that se7en’s famous for and she did this really weird pose (like a ‘pink’ flamingo) instead and she even lost balance when she did that.
has anyone even watched her videos??? she really does have the talent to make it in the showbiz…her debut performance was good and her dancing was great!! not to mention her singing has gotten better (not that it was bad before). I dont however like her STYLE…lol…she does need a little help in that…. but i really did wish that she stayed with YG, but then again maybe she would never have debuted…i LOVE YG but i dont think they’re good at promoting the girls in the company…i mean…look…Lexy and Park Bom left YG. but best wishes to MAY DONI!!!
check out her performances and MV!!!!
Park Bom is still with YG. They train their trainees well, just needs to work on promotion.
Btw, May Doni left JYP too.
She definitely can sing better than BoA. Dancing isn’t too bad either.
a female Se7en!???
If that’s the female Se7en, I’d hate to see what the female “george washington” would be like.
She was more concerned about how she looked in her pink tracksuit, bopping her head from left to right than dancing. And her head is too big.
She looked like a lollypop. She’s got the first 3 moves of Se7en, but she forgot #4-20.
This isn’t even a compliment – its a fantasy. Nice try JYP. the girl should head back to dance practice ’cause she CAN”T dance.
oh, and I dont’ think in any of Se7en’s dances does he repeat the same move over and over again. He’s an athlete when he dances – he’s never content to be “middle of the road”
what a joke.
i dunno why this girl is called the female se7en.
no resemblance and she can’t even dance
she looks like a little girl, but her voice is good.
lacks the feel of a star and there’s nothing attractive about her. all i see is her big read hair.
oh, and i just have to add, her voice isn’t that great – she can sing, but she needs more maturity –
I’d prefer Ali ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DvIMXOHguSU ) or BMK ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nFjU-ZMrTXw )
Don’t bother being flashy if you’re just going to end up appearing like trash
^Looks like we got a jealous person up in here.
From what I see, I see a hella talented girl with a great voice, some smooth dance skills, and that’s just the start. Like a lot of people have said, she’s got room to grow even more. Seven’s already 25 and is about to slow down while May Doni is just going to get better day by day.
Don’t need to dog on her looks man. I’m pretty sure you’re not attractive, but nobody isn’t saying it to your face, yet they think it.
i dunno, may doni seems like one of those kids with a lot of talent and zero personal charisma.
who knows if she has the x factor. it’s not showing up in this video. se7en definitely has it, though
Didn’t she leave YG Entertainment a while ago?
She’s so small.
She should debut with another look. She could be a trendstarter.
KyungMin .
thank u for clearing that to me . but i personally think that the whole thing is stupid . how can anyone compare a new comer to an established star with huge fan followers ? . secondly how is agirl named the female someone !!? why a man never called the man of some woman ?
its really pissing my off . becoz we r women then we have to be called the female of some man to be known and famous ?
women voice and body is different than men . this is a fact .
if i want to see agood dancing skills i will never enjoy watching a woman dancing as a man and vice versa .
each sex has its own uniqueness . own style .
i think her voice is amazing . for a change . we are sick of watching mv with pretty girls with nothing to offer !
and if she isnt that good dancer . then i think that its not a big deal coz i will be enjoying my self with her voice .
by the way . what happened to se7en ? is he still alive ?
i hope so . eager for his music album .
WOW shes really good.. nothing to say 0.0
she looks like a 12 year old trying to be a 21 year old
she’s alright.
but passing se7en? i dunno.
she’s good~! but u cant compare her to SE7EN!!! she cant beat se7en u know…everybody knows that >.<
i don’t think her dancing is all that great…it’s kind of…stiff? not natural at all…she’s really forcing herself to do it…i’m sure boa could do a much better job. i mean, she can dance better than a lot people, but i don’t think she can surpass se7en’s dancing. but we have to take into account that as a singer, you also have to sing and i can’t judge too much on that since i’ve never heard her sing before. we’ll just have to see.
May doni can probably surpass many artists in terms of singing. But from what i see, she seems like any other teenager hoping to hit the big time. What separates a success from a failure is their genuine passion for what they do (look at Rain, Boa, DBSK & Se7en they put in 110% in their training days and careers). It seems as though May Doni kept on jumping bandwagons until she reached a company that would debut her real quick.
On a side note, May Doni can dance but not that well. She doesn’t have fluid/natural movements like Hyoyeon or Min.
Why do LSM/YG/JYP/andthem always put out the ’same ole, same ole’? It’s always: the hot sexy girl with a ‘tude doing lukewarm R&B music. Or the gorgeous guy doing like the typical ballads, or is a mean dance machine. Nobody but overzealous naive little fangirls ‘n boys are looking for a seventh Rain or Hyori. Bring something new, something fresh! Where is the fresh??? I’m seriously missing the fresh.
hehe may doni really likes to se7en’s songs doesnt she? i saw her in another clip where she danced to se7en’s “all night” with her sis
gina, I so agree with you! I mean, I love kpop, I really do, but there’s only so much you can get from it. That’s the beauty that is western music: you seriously have everything for everyone.
I think she is different..she has her own style unlike Joo (and Min)
Her dancing skills are okay but her style will make her famous…just watch 
my 1st thought..i dont like her name..0__0..lol~
dancing is quite okay..havent heard her voice yet but after reading all those comments above me, she seems to have a great voice..a korean singing an english song without accent is good enough for me~~lol~
and i agree with jo..k-pop is starting to offer the same thing to its listeners..i’m hoping that they’ll come up with something fresh soon~~^^ but hey, i think FT island is kinda considered as a fresh debut..yea, they still bring on the cute guy image..but their music is kinda different than any other male groups out there..in my opinion anyway~
uurhh..please stop the female-male comparison…TT^TT
wats new….her dancing wasnt THAT impressive…
ok i like this girl. she is definitely talented.
But, she shouldn’t try to come out plugging herself as the female se7en, bc honestly ,her dance moves still look rough and kinda awkward. she should just play up the fact that she can sing. the bad image makeover and frenetic dancing could just end up tripping her up
eh, I was with you until this: “if i want to see agood dancing skills i will never enjoy watching a woman dancing as a man and vice versa .
each sex has its own uniqueness . own style .”
you made a good pt about how it’s always women getting compared to men (although what about ajoo and younha?) but you don’t need gender essentialism to do it.
look at kaba modern. the girls there dance in an uber-feminine way and they also dance in a gender-neutral way doing the same moves as the guys. it all looks great.
pretty good….. but based on the video posted, i’d say she was abit to rough and looked awkward
She has a lollipop head lol.
I agree with Gina. I want kpop to bring something totally new to the scene. All I’ve seen from Music Bank is some overly sugared pop music (Girls Generation and Wonder Girls)
And as Gina stated “the hot sexy girl with a ‘tude doing lukewarm R&B music. Or the gorgeous guy doing like the typical ballads, or is a mean dance machine.”
And most of the kpop scene seems to be overly saturated with R&B and Hip Hop..For once I would like to see an acual Rock Song performed in Music Bank and not the crap they show with some cutey pie of a lead singer with fake bandmates who play instruments that are not even plugged into an amp! And don’t get me started on the actual credentials of those bandmates (Bank up dancers who are hired to be bandmates) playing those instruments.
I like my Kpop as any other korean girl in here but a little diversity in the music genre wouldn’t hurt….
Lmao. Dumpling that was the point. WHat I’m saying is if Min can make it, why can’t this chick? Min’s just as useless and has nothing to new to bring to the table either, yet Lil’ Jon wants her.
I don’t get why so many people are using this video as the main point of comparison and evidence that “she doesn’t have the ‘passion’ that Se7en has.” That’s obviously in the practice studio, it’s not a performance. Would you be putting 100% energy in and trying to do things that would absolutely wow the crowd when you’re in the practice room?
