KPOP STAR 4 - Audition Round (Part 2)

Continued..

Honestly, I don't know if you, readers, would find it interesting but I'm doing this post for myself. Cheers!

EPISODE 2

♦ Park Hye Soo, 21

She studied Korean Literature at Korea University. She has a really amazing(?) personality. She said she studied so hard to the point she has to ask her friend to tie her up to the chair. Erk! I guess she's the type that would 'beat herself up' (emotionally, not physically) if she fails on something. I envy her competitiveness but not so much of her 'extremeness'..

(Better In Time - Leona Lewis)

[X] YHY: You sings well but not from a professional view becoz you don't have ad-lib with groove.
[O] YG   : You have a voice suit for your age and image.
[O] JYP  : I can't sense your character or values when you sing.

She was asked by JYP to sing another song, 'Farewell for Myself', with more emotion.

♦ Lily Morror, 13, Australia

She is half-Korean (Mom) and half-Australian (Dad). She is also a child actress in Australia. YG was glued to her when she first appeared on stage.. Hahaha.. On the other hand, JYP was amazed by her eloquence. Her Mom who suggested to her to try out in this competition while her dad was ready with a tour bus for her to perform around Australia.. Waahh~ What a family..

(Fallin - Alicia Keys)

[O] JYP   : The good part about you singing is that you don't try to mimic Alicia Keys
[O] YHY : Her eyes and expression are mesmerizing. That's good enough for me.
[O] YG    : She absorbed even the tiny expressions when she conveys the feeling.

♦ Esther Kim, 15, LA

She lives in the suburbs of LA, called Arcadia. She's still a high school student but she looks quite matured for her age. Or maybe not.. It could be just my opinion. Hihi.. As her father had passed away, she lives with her Mother, an older brother and a puppy.

(Almost is Never Enough - Arianna Grande)

[O] JYP   : I love the fact that you sing as if you're speaking. Yeah.. I want you.
[O] YHY : Your breathing is a music itself. You're like the female version of Bernard Park.
[O] YG    : I dare say she's the 2nd best female contestants this season.

♦ Ku Ki Hoon, 19

He's really an interesting character. He told his parents his going to study hall when he actually came to SBS building. His parents were against his desire to become a singer. He's quite good-looking and tall too. He received ALL PASS and some advices from the three judges.

♦ Lee Se Rim, 14, Singapore

(Waiting - Younha)

[O] JYP
[X] YHY
[O] YG

She cried so much after YHY gave her a pass. So cute..

♦ Han Se Joo, 19, New Zealand (OUT!)

(Stay With Me by Sam Smith)

He dances very hilariously after the song. Gosh~ I get confused whether he's a guy or a girl..

♦ Seo Ye An, 18, Yeongju

She was really shy during the individual interview. She said she usually couldn't quite remember what happened on stage. Once the music starts, she just naturally move her body which caught the judges by surprise. It was an awkwardly shy dance.

(Problem by Arianna Grande)

[O] JYP
[O] YHY
[O] YG

♦ Chun So Hyun, 21, Daejeon

She has an impressive background. She featured in Peterpan Complex OST, sang guide track for Davichi and SISTAR's Hyorin. She thought she could sing but she failed the auditions for Superstar K, KPOP STAR 3 and Voice of Korea. She even colored her hair blonde because she don't want people to focus on her face but more of her singing.

(Please - Lucia ft Epitone Project)

[O] JYP
[X] YHY : You sing very well but you're trying too hard.
[O] YG

♦ Woo Nyeong In, 18

She dropped out from high school just to pursue music. She started to live in Seoul for the past 3 months at a goshiwon in Apgujeong. What touches me about her is that she believes that by writing your goals, saying it out loud and seeing them every day, will make them come true. I also believe in those but I'm not as persistent as her.

(Make You Feel My Love - Bob Dylan)

[O] JYP   : You have all the qualities that I look for in a contestant.
[X] YHY : Why does it feel strange listening to this song?
[O] YG    : I also don't know why it's good but I just want to keep listening.

♦ Lee Seol Ah, 21, Incheon

She won first place at Yoo Jae-Ha Music Contest. Wow! Another talented contestant.. But she did try out for Kpop Star 3 and won the award afterward. She didn't come out on TV for last season coz she was ranked 'Poor' by Antenna Music and her whole group was eliminated. Well, get ready to cry a bucket when she sing her self-composed song.

(Life As A Mom by herself)

[O] JYP   : Composers usually write songs that people want to listen, but she just writes it the way she wants
[O] YHY : I love the lyrics and melody.
[O] YG    : I think all the mothers out there will be crying when this is broadcasted.
