Kpop Star 5 - Ranking Audition (Part 3)

[Kpop Star season 5 Ep 5]

Bibimbap Group

Kim Young Eun (18)


(Into The Memory - Lee Eun Mi)

◆ She got a lot of praises during audition and she felt burdensome.
(JYP said she has a voice that inspired him want to write a song for her)
◆ JYP requested her to sing 'Into the Memory' by Lee Eun Mi
◆ The song was from 1992 and she hasn't heard of it before

YG - I know I didn't praise you much during audition because I believe you haven't showed everything. Today your singing is three times
more powerful than audition.
JYP - I felt tingly listening to you. You made your own interpretation of
the song which is difficult to do for a ballad
YHY - It's amazing to see how you improve from the first round

Monica Kim (18)


(Fallin - Keshia Cole)

◆ She is from Australia

YHY - The chorus part was appealing. But one thing you lack is power.. the explosive sound.
JYP - She didn't change her tongue position to make that 'R&B' sound. That's impressive!

Lee Hyo Rim


(Love Gets Forgotten by Another Love - Ha Reem)

◆ She received enormous pressure from other contestants and her parents,
being Lee Hi's older sister
◆ She thinks her parents would have higher expectations for her
◆ She would accept it if she gets eliminated

YHY - I enjoyed your solid way of singing
JYP - You sings well but the song need to be alive
YG - You sing well but you lack the charm to attract people with your singing

RESULTS!
1 - Joo Mi Yeon and Kim Young Eun
2 - Park Min Ji
3 - Lee Si Eun
4 - Monica Kim
5 - Lee Hyo Rim
#All of them passed!

Unique Vocal Group

Yuyu Liu (17)


(Uptown Funk - Mark Ronson ft Bruno Mars)

◆ She is from Changsha, China
◆ She is working as a commercial and magazine model in China
◆ She likes CL and Tablo from YG Ent
◆ She wants to hear YG comments on her
◆ She wishes to be in the TOP 10


YHY - It seems so surreal. I thought I was watching a professional.
YG - I liked it better when you focus on just singing. So just focus on that next round.
JYP - Your dancing is your weakness. But you have expressive eyes and powerful aura.

#Everyone might thought of the same thing. "She looks a lot like Kiko Mizuhara".  
Very charming indeed~

Lee Soo Jung (22)


(Fallin - Alicia Keys)

◆ She lived in Chicago
◆ Her parents divorced when she was 11. And her dad moves to Korea
◆ She wishes to sing the song with her own color

JYP - That was sexy and awesome. There's not even 1% of Alicia Keys
YG - I can't concentrate because of JYP. You are stylish without even trying too much.
YHY - You have tremendous charisma. Very charming.

RESULTS!
Yuyu Liu and Lee Soo Jung passed!

Keyboard Group

Chae Ji Hye (19)


(Nagging - Kim Gun Moo)

◆ YHY told her that she don't have the Korean sentiments during audition

YHY - I guess I was wrong. You do have Korean sentiments. You sing like it is your song but it sounds kind of still
YG - It's boring because you stretch out every single phrase of the song
JYP - Your vocalization is better. I am impressed

Jung Jin Woo (19)


(Haa.. - Own song)

◆ He was grateful for all the praises he received so he
thought that the past 2 years did not go to waste
◆ However, at the same time, he felt a tremendous amount of pressure
◆ He said he is not perfect so the judges could be disappointed later

YG - It reminded me of an old song
JYP - The lyrics and motif are not interesting. The chord progression is not stylish.
But your voice is still amazing
YHY - You have excellent ability for that 8 measures during the hook part

Woo Ye Rin (20)


(Fishbowl - Own song)

◆ She was trained by Antenna Music but YHY said the song was too difficult to understand
◆ She agonized whether to change the lyrics or not but in the end, decided to stick to the original version

JYP - I think it has an amazing lyric. The progression still have some room for improvement
YG - I hope whatever hardship you're going through, you managed to overcome it
YHY - I didn't realize the deep meaning of the song. I think you have your own world.
I hope from the fishbowl, you will swim to the ocean

[Kpop Star season 5 Ep 6]

Ryu Jin (18)


(Come Back to Me Again - Byeon Jin Seob)

◆ During pre-screening training, she said YHY was so kind and detailed.
◆ She used to sing for textbook and commercial songs but during audition
JYP said even when sing, it sounded too much like commercial song.
◆ She thought by singing to textbook and commercial songs, it will bring her
closer to her dream as a singer but was disappointed when it works against her.
◆ For this round, JYP said she choose a very difficult song

YG - I think she got the most beneficial help from Antenna's training.
I was prejudiced at first that you will still sing the same way as you did in audition
but you actually have an amazing power to carry a song.
JYP - You're way too clear-headed when you sing. It still sounded
as if you're trying to pleased someone.

Joyce Lee / Lee Ha Rin (17)

(Can't Take My Eyes of You - Frankie Valli)

◆ She auditioned for season and received a pass from BoA but her
parents didn't allow her to go because she was only 12 at that time.
◆ She showed to her parents how passionate she is with singing and
got permission from them this time.

YHY - Last time I criticized your singing sounded too old-fashioned. This time your
voice sounded more natural and strong.
YG - Your volumes varies too much. If you advances, why don't you
choose a Korean song.
JYP - The important thing for me when people sing Soul or R&B is
spontaneity and ad-lib. I'm glad you have both qualities.

Kim Ji Yoo (19)


(Long Long Time - Wonder Girls)

YHY - This is the first time I heard of the song. I think the song
sounded good because you delivered it well.

Seo Kyung Deok (19)

(Incurable - Hareem)

◆ Recently he took college entrance exam while doing his
part-time job as a cook.
◆ He found it hard to choose a song but goes with a song he
used to listen to time to time.
◆ During training, he was criticized by JYP for not pouring out his emotions

YG - Your natural voice is good and I'm surprised to know that you have
powerful high notes too. But as a producer, your singing is mediocre compared
to the first time.
YHY - It was charming but although your singing it differently
than the original singer, it was not better.
JYP - Since you were praised a lot, you would become very pressured.
It's normal but you have to overcome the pressure and concentrate on the lyrics.
Regardless, you have an amazing voice.

Lim Ha Eun (15)

(Bang Bang - Jessie J, Arianna Grande, Nicki Minaj)

◆ She was known as a dance prodigy from New York after appearing
on Star King at the age of 10.
◆ Currently she lives in Seoul
◆ She hit a slump during 5th grade since she felt
she's dancing only to meet people's expectations.
◆ She naturally started singing after that to express her feelings
◆ The song choice was suggested by JYP.

YG - It was a fast song so it's an advantage for you since you were a dancer.
It's a perfect song choice since you get to show off you powerful skills within you.
YHY - This song allows you to show off your vocalization skills,
as well as your rhythm and talent.
JYP - You did fix you weird facial expression and
letting go too much air when you sing.
