Kpop Star 3: Brody B.

# She auditioned for season 5. There is a different post for that. Link here

"Aww~ Isn't she lovely?" was the thought that came into my mind as I saw her.

She was only 10 years old. I don't know her last name since it was never mentioned in the show. She is half Korean (Mom) and half European (Dad). She has a little brother. She can't speak Korean well but she already learn how to read Hangul.

On her first audition round, she sang a soundtrack from The Little Mermaid, 'Part of Your World' by Jodi Benson. Her voice is so lovely but it was not her voice that got the judges, it's her unique charm. You should see how she dance to 2NE1 'I'm The Best'. Hahaha.. Sorry for laughing.. I guess since all three judges are married while YG and Yoo Hee Yeol had their own daughter, they have some kind of fatherly affection towards her. All of them want to see her again but since she was too young, they were concern whether the competition will be a bit too harsh on her. But in the end, Yoo Hee Yeol and JYP (in place of YG) give her a 'pass'.



Then, during the second audition round, she was in the 'bad' group. She surprised all the judges by her tremendous improvement as she sang 'Titanium' by David Guetta. You can download it here. She sang the high notes really well.


She proceeded to Team Mission and was grouped with Abigail Kim and Ryu Ji Soo. During the showcase, they sang Alicia Key's 'Girl On Fire'. Since the three of them have different age and styles, they named their group '3 different girls'.


I have to say I'm not impressed by their performance. I have to acknowledge though how those two other unnie were being very considerate of Brody. YHY also realized it but asked them to keep leading her well. So in Team Battle, they are still in the same group. This time they sang 'I Dream' by 15&. JYP recommended this song for them.


However, the song choice was not helping them at all. There's too many high notes. As for Brody, YG said she can hit the notes but not control her volume yet. Their team lose so Brody was eliminated. JYP asked her to come back again after 2 years just like what Lee Chae Yeon did. (Which she actually did!)

Later, the judges asked the producers to give them a couple of wildcards. Brody was revived by YG's wild card, and she was then teamed up with Almeng. I really like their performance. Brody and Almeng were later casted by JYP (but not as a team).


For Battle audition, she performed 'Sunny' by Boney M. Unfortunately, she didn't make the cut.


Bye bye Brody baby.. Don't give up! I hope to see you again in the future..
