[Kpop Star season 5 Ep 1]
#The stage floor with shining stars indicate more than half the panelists are rooting for the contestant.
Woo Ye Rin [Wild card]
('Girl', own song)
◆ 20 years old, singer-songwriter
◆ She wrote a song after she had a dream of a girl with a dull sword while other people have a sharp knife. It reminded her of herself.
◆ Her mom always worried about her dream to be a singer since it's an unstable job
◆ She decided to audition since she wanted to know whether she is talented enough. This will also decide whether she should continue singing or not.
✖ YG - I don't think it will appeal to the masses.
✖ JYP - It could be more suitable for musical.
✔ YHY - This could be a new type of Kpop.
In the end, YHY helped her out by giving her a Wild Card.
#In my opinion, she has a nice voice and the song does sound sad, although at first I have no idea of the lyrics.
Park So Yoon [Eliminated]
('Tomorrow' from Annie OST)
◆ 10 years old, the youngest daughter of singer, Park Sang Min
◆ Known as child prodigy for having a really good memory
◆ She said her father did not teach her how to sing and allow her to do whatever she wants
◆ She also danced to 'Uptown Funk' by Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars
✖ JYP - If her dad asked him if his daughter can make it to become a singer, JYP would say she have more than potential. But, JYP thought she used too much of her head instead of her heart.
✖ YG - She got 100 points for dance but YG don't think she could proceed to the next round
✖ YHY - "Failure is an experience you needed."
Park Ka Kyung [Passed]
('All of Me' by John Legend)
◆ 12 years old, the eldest daughter of singer Park Sang Min
◆ YHY asked if she felt burdened by her sister. She said she sometimes gets annoyed because her sister became arrogant after being praised
◆ The sad thing is.. she even introduce herself as 'Park So Yoon's sister'.
I can sense some sibling's rivalry here.
◆ When her dad asked why she wants to become a singer, she said since she's not good in making people laugh like her sister, she wanted to comfort them through singing. Her dad warned her it's going to be a tough road, but she asked her dad to just trust her.
✔ JYP - JYP was glad she did not try to imitate the original singer. She is more delicate and subtle.
✔ YG - "I think it was you who inherited your father's talent"
✔ YHY - "It's important to pursue you dream step by step"
#You can even hear her gulping her saliva while singing. =P She has a beautiful voice nonetheless.
Seo Kyung Deok [Passed]
('Because I love you' by Yoo Jae Ha)
◆ 19 years old, part time kitchen assistant, preparing for college entrance exam
◆ The judges were pleased to hear his deep voice. JYP said it is rare for Asian to have such a deep voice.
◆ JYP said he sounded like Barry White.
◆ He decided to become a singer since he was a senior in high school
◆ He choose to sing this song because it's his mother favorite song. He wished to make his mother happy.
◆ His happiest moment is when his mother said he sings the best
✔YHY - "No way he'd be a bad singer with nostrils like dat." ROFL!
✔JYP - "He sang with his own voice and style, just like he was talking to someone"
✔ YG - YG dared to say this guy will be in the Top 3
Kim Sa Ra [Passed]
('But we used to love' by Lynn)
◆ 22 years old
◆ She was waiting together with Kyung Deok and she was relieved that he passed.
◆ She had teary-eyed because she felt she was lacking in terms of individuality compared to Kyung Deok
✖ JYP - Other singing competition would accept her because she has technical skills but she lacks individuality for Kpop Star. She reminded JYP of other popular singer
✔ YG - YG wished she could sing with her own sensibility. She is good enough to pass this round
✔ YHY - Since she opened up that she 'will find it (= her sentiments)', YHY offered to help by giving her a pass
Lee Soo Jung [Passed]
('Lay Me Down' by Sam Smith)
◆ 22 years old, singer-songwriter from Chicago
◆ Released her first digital single in US titled 'Thirst Trap'
✔ JYP - He's in love with her. She sang as if she's speaking while bringing out the soulful tone of the song
✔ YG - "Her singing style is not forced or affected"
✔ YHY - "She has a great sense of rhythm"
#She sings very well but she kinda rubs me the wrong way. Just my first impression of her.
Jung Jin Woo [Passed]
('Satellite', his own song)
◆ 19 years old, former Kpop Star contestant (Season 3)
◆ He had vocal cord nodules during the previous season and was eliminated before the 4th round
◆ After the competition, instead of feeling regretful, he took it as a time to re-evaluate himself.
◆ He decided to challenge himself again so he's trying out again but this time, using his own song
◆ The song 'Satellite' is about how he always hover around his ex-girlfriend
✔ YG was surprised how he could improve so much
✔ YHY was asking the process he goes through to create the song. Then, "Let's sign with Antenna" ♡
✔ JYP said he likes the fact he uses satellite metaphorically to relate to his heart-break. He later added that his song is JYP-styled
and even refused to let YG speaks
#It was like watching The Voice since all the judges pressed their button during his performance
