Hyun-ah revisits “Tell Me” with 4minute

4minute_20090702

Don’t get too excited Hyun-ah fans, she can’t redeem herself by going back to her glory days.

For last night’s Mnet M!Countdown, 4minute performed Wondergirls’s original hit, “Tell Me.” As you may know, Hyun-ah was originally a member of the Wondergirls right up until the release of “Tell Me” and she was forced to resign from Wondergirls due to her medical condition. If there was criticism about her hogging too much attention in Wondergirls, now she has 4minute’s “Hot Issue” and she is definitely touted as the centerpiece for the group.

For some reason, it somewhat irks me that the Wondergirls are considered M!Countdown Heroes after only two years since their debut, but I suppose it makes sense because “Tell Me” was such a humongous hit. Either way, 4minute does a fairly mediocre job lip-syncing to “Tell Me” and performing the choreography. It’s fun to watch though.

Maknae So-hyun does a better job of singing So-hee’s parts than So-hee. Doll face Ga-yoon finally get some time to shine as she sings as Sun-ye. Honestly, Hyun-ah gets way too many parts during this performance. It’s understandable she gets the first verse, the rap, and the solo dance because those parts were originally delegated to her, but does she really have to sing Sun-mi’s parts as well with her whiny high-pitched voice? Leader Ji-hyun looks like she doesn’t get any solo verses, and although she gets the role of Ye-eunJi-yoon feels under-utilized.

    I’ll apologize on behalf of Hyun-ah’s terrible voice. She looks like a rag doll whose owner couldn’t afford a variety of clothing so poor H-ah was stuck in meager toiletpaper

    there’s a bird in her hair
    and
    she should just be thankful she can say “i was once a WONDERGIRLS member”

    i like it i think it was cute.

  10. 13 ishnot July 12, 2009 at 10:51 pm

    yeah so, everyone’s talking about Hyun Ah’s voice. yeah I already have on another forum, but I love 4Minute.
    (ex Hyun Ah). I noticed someone’s mistake..
    “Ye Eun” at 1:30. Yeah, I don’t know their names except for Ji yoon. I think is wearing sunglasses? I love “Sun Ye” ^^ Ji Yoon? Right? Ehh. The girl playing “SoHee” was trying to be her, I give her credit for trying. And the rest of you know what i’ll say. She tried to be as cute as Korea #3 best bodies. And korea’s mandoo. I hate her eolmana. Did WG really give off their tacky cuteness?
    Nah.
    But Hyun Ah. Yeah..What happen to her voice? Some say it’s from her healthy problem. To me? I D K. It sounds horrible.
    Like..if someone made a chimpmunk remix, it would sound even worse!
    The rap was >< ew

  15. 20 snsd fannie! July 30, 2009 at 7:00 pm

    at least when snsd did it, they got the moves right~

    i really dun like the maknae in this NUB group, she is too eww(ugly face, needs braces) arent newbies supposed to be modest and humble to get more fans? the choreography was AWFUL..

    hyun GURL! what happened to you?

    2 years ago you were a cute rapper and now you ‘debut’ with this?

    the only girl that has decent talent is the one with the HUGE sunglasses covering her face..
    *notices the semi-quiet crowd*

    are you serious hyun ah?

    starting to dislike them personally~ but they got the clothes right x]

  16. 22 LAWLZ July 30, 2009 at 7:05 pm

    EPIC FAIL!

    lol popseoul never ceases to give up an oppurtunity to diss wg huh?

    get out of my face 4 minutes of fame and just disband~

    although i am saying this for hyun ah, you should pursue a solo career at least don’t make them look bad, lol you were better in your wonder days.

    ;__; but hynny ah! you RUINED yoo bins, part like a little school girl slu____ just gross!

  17. 23 bummie! July 31, 2009 at 6:23 am

    ewwww.just ewww

  18. 24 pstickk August 2, 2009 at 8:16 am

    They look so disorganized, and their clothes make them look like they aren’t a group, but five girls just clumped together. They don’t seem able to work together at all, and I’ve seen fanvids of ameteurs doing Tell Me that danced it better.

    Hyun-ah, stop hogging the spotlight all the time! Plus, please work on your voice and focus on looking good WITH your group working together, instead of trying to stand out all the time.

    I think JiHyun should have gotten the parts of SunMi…
    because I think it’s very unfair that hyun ah gets so many parts and the leader jihyun gets no solo verses!!!

  20. 26 Rekeke August 5, 2009 at 11:45 am

    I liked SNSD’s version better :(

  21. 27 ash August 12, 2009 at 10:02 am

    the version of tell me with hyuna didnt have a rap. the rap was put in after yoobin joined.

  22. 28 2pm September 13, 2009 at 12:02 am
