SAVANNA IS SO UNDERRATED! The fact that she performed with an injury and still SLAYED IS CRAZY. I doubt I would’ve even noticed that she had an injury if she hadn’t mention it. Love how she decide to take on a challenge and do a hard dance. She was definitely ROBBED, she should of been in 3rd place.
@@Leenaesraa99 Savannah isn't just talent though, go watch her vocal evaluation and her audition. Her improvement has been the most, her vocals were so shaky compared to the other trainees and from what I'm seeing the only one out of the four that was chosen because of showing improvement was Kendall. The rest he chose are the most naturally gifted ones and have been dominating since the beginning.
@@dissatisfieduser2065 it’s not only Kendall do you know how difficult is to suddenly sing another type of song or like kaylee that she also had a lot of movement and sang really good
For me Savannah totally shone for me in this group. What people need to remember here is that she had to sing all 8 parts, where as Stray Kids get to have breaks while another member sings. And often when they sing their own parts they may get get a bit of a physical break. So yes she did a really amazing job and I really hope they show us Stray Kids watching her perform this.
I think either Lexus or Camila should be the leader of the group. They have such dedication and passion for performing. They're very honest people that want everyone to do great. It is a perfect example of a leader that leads by example! Edit: I just knew Lexi was going to be the leader!!
Savannas ranking did her dirty. She sang a 8 member song, learnt and executed a complex dance so well, learnt Korean and you mean to tell me she was ranked 5th. She deserved the top three spot after that insanely impressive performance
@@썰프리 she made lit no mistakes and her ankle was sprained she was litteraly injured and still outdanced most of the memebers, no hate to the other members tho i love them too
CAMILLA NEEDS TO DEBUT. Not only she's talented, she helps the team members to elevate their performances. She will be a great asset to the debut team.
The patience they have is just admirable and a level of patience we should all hope to achieve lol. Cuz Idk if I could hold my laughter. I’d be nice but I can’t resist a smirk when I hear anything off key or voice crack. It’s in tuned for me to be on key 😂.
Which vocal coach are you referring to? There are two of them, just like there are two dance coaches (male and female). Are you talking about the brown-haired one who coached Lexus (3:45) or the black-haired one who coached Savannah (27:45)?
Yeah I absolutely love KG and she's super sweet but how can she just sit down and sing? Then somebody should be allowed to only dance without singing. Like unless JYP is planning on debuting her in a band (which would be fire) she should be dancing too. Especially because she definitely started out the worst and has much more to improve compared to f. e. Lexus or Gina.
I understand why Lexus is always so nervous, JYP always praises her saying that she’s the best dancer, but always ends up in a very low place. Not everyone is going to be great at everything at first but I’m rooting for her, she’s improving at singing!
It’s obvious his focus is more on the singing aspect of things. Tbh they all could just debut with their dancing skills, but they all could definitely not debut based on vocals.
The way I just cried for Yuna 😭😭 from a preforming standpoint, it’s so devastating preparing so hard for a particular part to end up missing the cue for it. I hope she’s able to find some learning points from the experience 😭😭
I agree. It looks awkward because she struggles in the transition from one move to another but once she has her feet in the right place she looks pretty good. I just wonder if she has a medical condition bc she stares off a lot in moments where people are interacting with her.
@@thecutexxonewait I’ve never noticed that can you give an example or list the episode where she does that? Bc I sometimes do that too sometimes but def not intentionally
Is nobody else gonna talk about Cristina’s reaction when JYP said that he will show Savanna’s performance to Stray Kidz😭 She’s literally the perfect person to vibe with.
Honestly Lexi is showing such great leadership qualities along with Camila. They both jump up fast to makes sure the other members are feeling ok and confident in themselves. I cant see the group without those 2
Whatever jyp say about Lexus, for me she's one of the girls there who's been improving a lot and so stable when performing ever since, she looks so natural when performing.
I was shocked at how well Yuna kept it together this episode. She knew she made a huge mistake and kept pushing through the performance. Then she took the criticisms and the ranking with surprising stoicism. That’s mental toughness
Savanna’s ranking doesn’t do her justice cause she freakin’ performed a hard and powerful song. Her swag and charisma is unmatched. She ate and slayed 💅 Edit: COMING BACK TO THIS COMMENT CAUSE MY GIRL IS GOING TO DEBUT 😍😎
Rooting for Savannah since her O.O cover, she's come so far in this competition, improving on her dancing and vocals. She has so much charisma everytime she performs, and she always shook me with her improvements.
As a person who has anxiety, I really admire Yuna for her bravery and her wanting to improve, I'm also glad that she has her members to support her edit: yall she obviously lacks basic skills but I’m talking about how Yuna having anxiety still decided to pursue her dreams
She's one of the weakest contestants. IMO, she's going to be eliminated. She doesn't have the star quality and aggressiveness to compete like many trainees do. The Korean trainees for Korean groups are far more aggressive and dedicated than her. She can't even compete with these trainees.
Yuna sure has the looks to be a kpop star, she is beautiful and sweet, but she needs to show some ability and improvement. I am pulling for her but very worried as well.
In this episode, I can see that Kendall is involved more in comforting and caring for other contestants. The way she touches and comforts Lexus and Yuna is very loving. I didn’t see that in her at the LA Boot Camp. She changed and improved not just in skills but also in her character. Lexus, please improve on your vocals I would love to see you debut. Camila and Savanna are 🔥. Everyone did great! Proud of all the girls! ❤
Probably because he's low-key expecting the girls to piggyback and train others in their free time considering professional company training is so sparse and little.... anybody noticed that? Just look at Yuna examples, the girls stepped in to help her..I don't think they're receiving adequate training at this moment
well at this point I dont see hope for the trainees who arent getting better like yuna and gina if yuna gets last again i see gina ranking last again unless one of the other girls severely messes up. I feel like the lower ranking girls have to get competitive or they are out. even with all the help from the girls yuna still ranked last she needs to focus@@shrimpkat8133
@LovelyLittleLillies I disagree with you respectfully. Instead of competing against one another and helping each other as a group speaks louder than any solo artist, regardless of what show they go on.
Damnn, Savanna is so real for this. It's so hard to sing and dance thunderous, let alone perform it all alone but she slayed ittt!!! Savanna you're so brave
bro savanna!!!!!!!!! she is unreal man.. like who can perform that good while singing an 8 members group song, keeping her dance and vocals stable is just insane!
how did savanna get 5h place? she sang a really hard song that was originally sang by 8 members so she barely got any time to breathe, she rapped like K-pop's best rappers (changbin) she danced to a really hard song that was originally danced by 8 members. keep in mind she was 1 person doing all that, she didnt have as much experience as them, she was waaaay younger than them, and SHE HAD AN INJURED LEG. HOW DID SHE GET 5TH? SHE DESERVED 1ST!
EXACTLY!!! She did the job of 8 members all by herself AND also performed what is arguably one of the most demanding kpop songs ever, her performance stood out among the rest and she at the very least deserved to be in top 3
JYP obviously have favorites, which is sad because Savanna was my least favorite at the auditions but she have improved so much. She’s definitely top tier
Savanna was just amazing. I think the only thing that was lacking was her Korean pronounciation, but the rest was near perfect. It's by far the hardest performance of the day, it included intense dancing, fast rap, powerful vocals, loads of facial expressions, all of it in a foreign language, from a group of 8 men (!!!) and on top of it she was so confident and executed it with a smile on her face, although being injured. JYP underrates her. She deserved to be in the Top 3.
she 100% should’ve been top 3! and in terms of “emotion” i’m not sure how else savanna could’ve expressed through such a fast paced, high energy song. kg placing higher over her is insane
I respect your opinion. But JYP and the training team have produced proven stars for decades as experts. Their eyes are accurate. JYP wants them to express their feelings when they sing and dance. pronunciation would not have been a problem. the dance is already perfect, and if her singing skills improve further, she will be in the top three.
I don't see Savannah getting enough credit in the comments, she freaking killed it. Her song not only had the hardest dance but it was also so fast vocally especially in a whole other language. SHE DID IT FREAKING INJURED 🎉🎉🎉
Especially for 6th month trainee, she did pretty good evaluation n her dedication to learn the language especially the rap part deserves a praised...not even korean rap in japanese, they usually rap in english or korean, so she did rap in korean is definitely not easy
i was literally screaming kicking my feet watching savanna perform, she did sooo well. she’s so powerful in her performance, i’m really happy she chose thunderous so she could showcase her rapping. i’m just rambling at this point, but i’m just so amazed by her
I did see what JYP was talking about, how she needs bigger moves, but I LOVED her performance I literally smiled! My Husband was like what are you smiling about 😅
OMG MY GIRL LEXUS 🥹🥹🥹 you’ve grown and improved each time I watch you perform… I really felt your surprise and happiness as soon as JYP said “Best Performance so far” that I got teary eyed.. hoping to see you debut! X❤️X❤️
well..forgot to mention that I’ve loved “Like This” since 10yrs ago and remembered trying the dance steps with my colleagues during break time😂 (my age is showing, lol)
I feel bad for Yuna, I can tell she was so nervous before and so disappointed and sad after not remembering the rap, but she kept going as any other idol would.. other than that she did so well ❤❤
Yes the most important part is that she kept going and didn’t give up. This actually makes me like her more because I wholeheartedly believe that since she has so much room for improvement, she can be the most determined to do well. I’m sure that she’ll improve a lot more now that she faced this ranking again.
To all the people saying Yuna cries a lot It’s natural to cry when you are getting discouraged. Especially since she knows she has a lot more to work on than the other girls.
A2K is the healthiest show I've seen so far. The way the girls help and support each other, especially with yuna, the way they helped her with her singing and dancing and imparting confidence on her, and the way they comforted her when she didn't get the stone, that's family right there.
They are definitely catering to the American audience. I think JYPE is really trying to pick nice girl next door types and aren’t looking for cutthroat people. I’m watching NIZi too and he’s much stricter on the Japanese and doesn’t ask how they are doing mentally or show as much care. Love this show. So tired of shows with dramatics like in sixteen where they threw someone as talented/long training as Jihyo in class B for no dang reason but to humiliate her.
@@DT2xChamp yea i agree that she didn’t do as well compared to other contestants, but mocking her is too much. it’s better to give constructive criticism rather than making fun of someone, especially when they’re training and still have so much left to learn. but hopefully she can improve over the course of her stay since she has so much potential.
holy shit savanna did so good. she did such a good job on such a tough song to perform. also, super exciting she did a stray kids song, and jyp said he was gonna show them. that must feel amazing. so proud of her, can't wait see more of her.
OMG SAVANNAH SLAYED! As a STAY I was so impressed with her entire performance. I was totally fangirling, like totally geeking out. Especially impressed with her rapping. I was shocked that she did so well on Changbin and Han’s raps, especially because Korean is not her first language. Now I’m just waiting to see Stray Kids reactions. Petition to drop a recording of their reactions? 🙋🏼♀️
I love Savanna and her powerful dance. Stray Kids have very difficult dances, it's not for everyone and she did very well trying to do all 8 parts while singing!
Yuna does have a long way to go when it comes to singing, but I don't think it's too far off from the rest of the group's. Her voice itself actually sounds good. She just needs more practice. She can be great. She just needs to believe in herself and practice more. Her missing the rap part definitely brought her confidence down a lot, which affected both her singing and dancing
I was impressed to see her continue the performance even if she made a mistake but I kinda feel that she seems less prepared like she takes a long time to learn the choreagraphy and at the beginning of the show she was most of the time not on the beat.. I really like her personality and how she gains confidence but I just don't feel that she is on the same level as the other girls it's just my opinion
His rankings are so confusing because you don't know what he's gunna prioritize, talent or feel. Some of people are ranked high for potential and some are ranked lower even though their skill is obviously better. But then Camilla is 2nd so it's like what are you prioritizing JYP??? Like skill or feel because it's literally so confusing. Lowkey I felt like he put KG so high because he needed her to sing the theme song lmao. Her performance was werid to me because she always gets to sing, but how is she allowed to sing and do nothing else? Then Yuna might as well danced and not sang at all. And then Kendall placing first is just favoritism to me, like she got the feel and she did great but not first place great. Like she's barely audible when singing. And in the next episode they do the theme song and he tells KG that her voice is thin and then Kendall goes and her voice is so damn thin and he doesn't say shit about it. It's literally so confusing. And then he brings in Kaylee because obviously Kendall's vocals are not pulling the weight.
@@akdrea sorry, if compare Savannah and KG Savannah was better overrall. KG can be really strong vocally, but is just that. Performance wise Savannah was better; Vocal wise, KG was better.
Lexus had improved sooooo much vocally, like damn her voice was stable and pleasing to listen to AND she was able to hit those high notes whilst dancing an energetic song. I KNOW she can improve more in the next 3 months
She has that talent. But the thing is that she's nervous. That's why sometimes she loses her confidence. but i want her to debut . Because she's one of my ultimate biases along with Camila and Lexus. ❤
Literally, everything he said was that she has this particular star quality, but she lacks a lot of basic skills, so that makes it easier for her to lose confidence.
I think Yuna got more nervous all of a sudden when she realized her cat ears actually make her hair fall all over her face. I think it distracted her and she started freaking out inside and lowkey panicked that she forgot what to do next. It means she needs to practice even longer than the other girls. Keep practicing until you can do it without thinking. Also keep in mind of your hair accessories and how that might affect the type of choreography you will do. Don't leave it to last minute and ending up getting distracted in your real performance. Yuna I believe in you. You have the most star quality in the whole group in my opinion. You need to know you have it, be confident. You are smarter than you give yourself credit for. Believe it and don't get discouraged, you already got this far. You are amazing Yuna!
lexi is the real definition of someone who can be scared, who can be unconfident, who can be unable to say the truth ahead to others but she's the real one who has a bug courage even over the big and hotter under pressure of the audition!! can't wait for her to shine
lexi has the best foundations. her dancing, i mean who can compete? her singing and rapping parts literally sound like a kpop artist without all the autotuning, she just needs more confidence and training to polish it and shes golden. jyp just has higher expectations for her because she is that good. girl has to seriously gain some major confidence and shes got it. if jyp lets her go, biggest loss next to kaylee and camila.
it is, because JYP is famous for its girl group artists who have weak vocals (except nmixx), and especially since this is for the western market, I understand that JyP aka goofy guy is concerned a lot about vocals, at the same time he has no doubts about the dancing skills of some of the contestants and their star quality.
@@JoaoPFS01 If I have to be honest, only 3 out of 9 have good vocals, if look at the whole company, almost half of the company have weak vocals, JYP knows that, he can EVEN criticize Itzy's vocals, bcs he knows the facts, like it or not , it is what it is
Right? The rest of them are out here doing a full choreography and performance. Singing with guitar is not at all easy but it is nothing compared to singing/ rapping a foreign language while doing a full dance routine with facial expressions. I expected her to place 8th bc she deliberately chose to not show off improvement in her biggest weakness
Pretty sure the other judges's opinion made the differences. I mean even cristina received soo much complimence from jyp, I thought she'd be in top3. You can see him line the girls but then changes the ranking after hearing the others opinions.
@@inga.feuilleei why mention kendall, she literally did the best in performance and she did not lack in the vocal category nor dance in this phase of the competition. Just say you hate kendall and go
Lexus, Yuna bye! 🤔 You guys should debut under a different Entertainment company. because you two don't seem like a good fit for the JYP Entertainment company.😑
I feel so bad for Yuna. My heart broke for her. Honestly, while I believe KG did a great job, you have to acknowledge that contestants like Cristina, Lexus and Savanna challenged themselves by charging headfirst into areas that aren’t as skilled in, so it does feel unfair that KG placed higher without challenging herself to the same extent through dancing. I also have doubts about Savanna’s ranking. Idk what emotions JY Park wanted from Thunderous but I thoroughly enjoyed her performance and expressions and he clearly feels Stray Kids will too. He complimented her singing and dancing too, so I think she deserved higher ranking having hit all areas of critique.
I really don't think the girls chose what songs to perform, so KG would have been told to perform a song with the guitar. My guess is (assuming she makes the group, which I have faith she will) they're going to eventually just kind of push her into being the lead songwriter/guitarist to add some ~credibility~ to the group for American audiences.
Totally agree about the rank of KG, although she really did great in her performance but I mean why did they chose that song though. They should've chosen a song where she will be able to showcase her dance so that it won't seem unfair to the other contestants who performed both.
i wish we could have seen her improvement in dance but who knows. the best part bout kpop BESIDES the vocals, its the choreo. the choreos always hit along with the vocals. its not just about singing too.
I also think Savanna should have had a higher rank. She performed a STRAY KIDS song all by HERSELF. Even male trainees have a hard time performing SKZ songs as a team.
Thats what I also noticed. That's why Iam thinking Savanna is the hidden gem among the candidates. If her vocals were improved she could be the best. She has good control of her breathing and her vocals are still pleasing to hear eventhough not yet developed. Interms of dancing its definitely her forte.
It's gonna be heartwrenching if not all of them debut. I wonder if that's why JYP said to expect a lot of tears in the last episode (he said this in the afterparty video)
@@MatthewJones-cl1sb I mean, I'm not too sure if she'll make it or not, but I think that anyone who messes up like that and their evaluation doesn't go smoothly when they practiced so hard would cry and break probably, but I was thinking that if she continues to make mistakes and can't keep up with the beat every time she practices, then she probably isn't cut out for it. I still love her though ;)
savanna was so fricking good i was screaming clapping my hands and getting goosebumps all at the same time!!!!! this really was a PERFORMANCE! i go lost just watching her and enjoying the show, thats what real performance is!!!!
i dont know much about professional dancing and singing but i personally didnt enjoy kendalls performance really.. like it was a too naked look for someone her age and it made me feel weird. maybe just me because shes jyps favorite and the whole thing with kpop debuting minors, giving them adult songs and clothing just reminded me of that... but i did not enjoy it T-T@@nav-1-i6b
Honestly, I would have ranked Savanna 2nd and Camila 1st. Savanna fricken killed it. Jyp said he ranked them based on their ability to convey emotions and move the audience, well, Savanna literally blew me away, I was screaming like as if I was at a concert 😂. I was doing that for both Savanna and Camila's performance so those two were top tier for me.
I honestly don't understand why they didn't have KG do a dance performance. We all know her singing is amazing but her dancing skills are what's lacking. Like why not use the individual assessment as a chance for her to improve her dance skills?
Savanna did just an EXTRAORDINARY performance. Dancing (eventho she has a sprained ankle), rapping, singing and all that with incredible facial expressions is just WOW. plus she pronounced every single word perfectly eventho litteraly 90% of the song is in korean. The best performance with Camila's, maybe beyond !
Omg, my Savanna killed this performance. She sings and raps so consistently even when dancing choreography like Thunderous. This look suited her so well, she looked so cool. She and Lexi are the best power dancers. It's so cool that skz will see this amazing performance. And I also like that Jyp correctly evaluates Lexi. If she improves her vocals, she will be perfect. But she's still the best dancer. And I’m incredibly glad that it was our girls who sang the A2K song❤❤❤
i felt like they should chose a diff song for her we already saw her do well for straykids in LA so the difference wont be as noticeable. Also, Savanna vocals r good she just needed training but a hard chero like straykids she cant show showcase her improvement vocal wise.
In my personal opinion, Savannah and lexus deserved a much higher ranking. Also, i am SO FRICKING EXCITED FOR THE NEXT EVALUATIONS I LOVE ALL THE SONGS THEIR DOING!! Im also really nervouse because so many members were crying 😢 And when JYP said he was going to show Savannahs performance to Stray Kids I was SO PROUD!!! I learned the Thunderous choreo, and its not easy, and she SLAYED. I reallly hope theres footage of Stray Kids reacting to it!!!
Let's hope for savannah to get noticed by skz cuz her performance wasn't easy to do at all but still she delivered a really powerful performance, she's already my bias
Yes, I also want to see Stray Kids reacting to Savanna's performance! Last time on "next time", they showed JYP saying, "I can't give you the stone" and several girls crying. Then it turned out that particular quote was him telling Lexi that if she has not improved her vocals by the next evaluation, then he can't give her a stone. So it was deliberately misleading. I get it, it's dramatic, and it makes us want to watch. I really hope that what happened with Yuna today turns out to be the foundation for the drama for when she absolutely nails the next evaluation. 🙏😍🌸🌺
I think Yuna's main problem is that she doesn't have a sense of rhythm. Not everyone does. Good news however is that this can definitely be taught! If she fixes that, I think her learning process when learning the dances and singing will go much smoother. She definitely has the determination and dedication!
Determination and dedication yet she still can't catch the beat 6 months after her first audition. She had this problem in most of her performances and jyp literally tells her every time and she still does it. It's always idk, I got confused etc. Always looking for an excuse.
@@akanakaa What is she suppose to say? "I'm offbeat because...? Isn't confused as straight up as it gets? I am suprised that she couldn't find the beat to come in with her rap (unless she forgot her lyrics). But without a doubt Yuna has the most to go (and the most potential too). Appreciate the desperation to make up for the missed lyrics with more power for the second half of the chorus, even if it came out a little scuffed. The vocal and choreo for the rest of the song was great! Yuna is definitely my favorite of the bunch, even if she may not be ready to debut just yet.
Hahah as someone who has no rhythm for sh*t, I honestly couldn't say that, because I am even worse and she was let in and taken to South-Korea for a reason first...so I suppsoe "Miracles have happend!" Over there in the trainee phere.
Lexus is such a gem,i personally think she grow the most considering how weak she was in vocals. Her presence,dance,vocal and raps are saurrrr gooooddd
Savannah is the most powerful all rounder in A2K. She's so underrated and deserves more credit. She slayed that Thunderous performance and the best part is that she'll be watched by Stray Kids themselves. It's an amazing honor to have your performance by the original performers is so amazing.
Lexi can SING woaaaahhh I don't know why JYP said it wasn't enough for the next performance, I think it sounded great and she was so stable... Truly don't understand. LEXI YOU CAN DANCE, SING, AND RAP! YOU GOT THIS!
JYP는 이전의 오디션 즉 5개도시 오디션과 LA 부트캠프 오디션 그리고 한국으로 가기 전 수행했던 팀별 미션에서 각각 평가하는 기준점이 다릅니다. 그리고 한국에서 도착해서 JYP건물에서 합숙하며 훈련을 받고 치르는 오디션은 그 기준이 점점 높아집니다. 이번에는 렉시에게 수톤을 주지만 다음에도 똑같은 수준이면 스톤을 줄수 없다는 말은 지금까지 4번의 오디션에서 점점 더 발전 한 것처럼 다음 오디션에서 지금보다 더 발전해 있어야 한다는 말입니다. 마지막으로 이전까지의 JYP 오디션은 재능 발견, 잠재력 발견, 장점 발견이어서 아마추어 수준이라도 재능이 있거나 잠재력이 있어보이먼 극찬을 했습니다. 하지만 한국에서 JYP 건물에서 합숙해서 치르는 오디선은 기존 가수 수준의 높은 기준에 도달 할수 있는가 아닌가로 평가를 하기때문에 당연히 가혹할수 밖에 없습니다. 최소한 이전보다 더 발전하지 않는 사람은 자연스럽게 탈락하는 시스템이지요.
유치원때의 시험과 초등학교에서의 시험기준 그리고 중학교와 고등학교의 시험 기준이 같으면 안됩니다. 그리고 훈련을 받기 전에 요구 되는 결과하고 훈련을 얼마나 받았는냐에 따라 요구되는 기대치는 점점 더 높아지는 것이 당연합니다. 예전에는 이 사람이 스타가 될 가능성이 있느냐?에 기준을 두고 뽑았다면 지금은 기존의 K팝 가수들 수준과 비교해서 얼마만큼 도달해 있느냐가 평가의 기준이 됩니다. 여기서 가장 중요한 가산점은 성장속도입니다. 당장은 춤이든 노래이든 못하더라도 이 전과 비교해서 확실히 달라졌다면 당연히 가산점이 주어지구요. 정반대로 이전기준으로는 잘하는 편이었는데 훈련을 받은 후에도 크게 달라지는 것이 없어서 더 높아진 채점 기준으로는 낙제에 가까운 점수를 받았다면 탈락 위험성이 큽니다. 그래서 꼴찌 2번을 하면 자동 탈락이 됩니다. 기준이 달라지는 것이 당연합니다. 훈련을 받기전과 훈련 받은지 2주가 지났을때의 평가 그리고 3개월, 6개월이 지났을때의 발전 속도와 현재의 기량 등이 평가 기준이 됩니다. 이 사람을 데뷔시킬지 틸락 시킬지 하는 기준은 단순합니다. 이 사람이 현재 수준으로 미리 계획된 스케쥴을 따르면 충분히 데뷔할 만한 기량을 갖출 가능성이 있을 것인가 아니면 한계에 달해 그 수준에 도달하는게 불가능한가에 따라 합격과 탈락이 주어집니다.
JYP knows Lexi has talent. He just wants Lexi to be able to release her fullest potential. And as the Korean comments above said, training is much more rigorous in Korea since they are getting directly trained by professionals. JYP wants each contestant to improve more at each evaluation. I know Lexi has improved a lot but I also know she can do even better with the training given. Being critical is given to help bring more dedication and focus. We all know Lexi is improving so much and we can only encourage her to keep doing that! ❤
Savanna deserved to be #1 not only did she have a sprained ankle and still have the best dance performance. Her vocals have improved incredibly to the point he had no negative things to say. Savanna was incredible! She rapped fast, sang well, and dances POWERFULLY - perfect fully! Amazing.
Honestly for once I dont think Kendall's win was simply JYP's favouritism. she absolutely DEVOURED that performance it was legit so good. as someone who has criticized Kendall in the past she has shown massive improvement
I’m not discrediting any of the performances but huge props to the girls who had to learn to sing in Korean on top of dancing, was super impressive to watch
They didn't have to. They chose to. While only a couple people decided to rest on their laurels and not put in the effort. Which in the backwards way of this show, was somehow rewarded.
True, I think it should’ve kind of been a requirement to at least deliver a dance with your performance. Cause these girls all got judged based off of their vocal stability while dancing and the pronunciation by the coaches. While she had one in her native language and was sitting down. Sooner or later she will have to prove all those aspects that she wants to ignore, so we’ll have to see then.
Camilla is really proving to be Leader material! Everyone’s got great progress. It seems like the MAIN GOAL OF FIRST EVAL IS TO PICK THE TOP SINGERS of the pool to sing the Outro - so of course Kendall, Camilla, KG, & Kaylee is the most logical top choice. JYP even said that if he was only judging based on dance alone Lexi would be first. But they aren’t (JYP & the other mentors) so of course they chose the best singers in the pool that has proved their skills time and time again.
Yuna is so sweet, I really want her to succeed and believe in herself. Maybe she is not trained enough for something like this but she deserves amazing things!
Glad to see that so many people finally recognize Savanna! She was my favorite right from the start. She's such a good dancer and has a calm, but strong personality and aura to her. I would be truely shocked if she didn't make it into the final group.
Savanna is so underrated!! Her energy performing Thunderous was electrifying and her voice was booming! She really caught lightning in a bottle considering her injury and I'm sure she'll keep shining throughout the season and can weather any storm that comes her way! ❤
Savannah is literally so good. I feel at ease when watching her because of her confidence, skill, and stage presence. I hope we get to see more sides of her!
When YUNA finished her stage, LEXUS came up to her and said, "We'll help you improve," and I couldn't stop crying. They all need to debut.
SAME I WASCRIYING SO AHRD
I kinda feel Like Yuna is the oldest member but too emotional nd unprepared. I don’t think she’s still ready for this
No idea why no one is talking about yuna
@@titou1579 she deserves more attention she has what it takes but she keeps being brought down. i think she just keeps getting discouraged.
Same
SAVANNA IS SO UNDERRATED! The fact that she performed with an injury and still SLAYED IS CRAZY. I doubt I would’ve even noticed that she had an injury if she hadn’t mention it. Love how she decide to take on a challenge and do a hard dance. She was definitely ROBBED, she should of been in 3rd place.
I agree! I think Savanna did better than Kendall and kg. Kendall’s vocals are unstable and kg didn‘t dance.
The only reason she wasn't is because they knew before hand who they wanted to record the theme song 🤣
But JYP he looks for the ability of improvement not just telnet.
@@Leenaesraa99 Savannah isn't just talent though, go watch her vocal evaluation and her audition. Her improvement has been the most, her vocals were so shaky compared to the other trainees and from what I'm seeing the only one out of the four that was chosen because of showing improvement was Kendall. The rest he chose are the most naturally gifted ones and have been dominating since the beginning.
@@dissatisfieduser2065 it’s not only Kendall do you know how difficult is to suddenly sing another type of song or like kaylee that she also had a lot of movement and sang really good
For me Savannah totally shone for me in this group. What people need to remember here is that she had to sing all 8 parts, where as Stray Kids get to have breaks while another member sings. And often when they sing their own parts they may get get a bit of a physical break. So yes she did a really amazing job and I really hope they show us Stray Kids watching her perform this.
literally she deserved top 3. Kg couldve swapped her tbh...
They NEED to put a reaction from Stray kids to her performance. I need it.
@@javiantay44omg SAME!!
savannah is like a man or bisexual. Girl groups don't need a man.
Yeah but other contestants also sang everything and were incomparably more stable and more skilled vocalists
when jyp said savanna in 5th, cristina in 6th and lexus in 7th i had to physically take a walk 💀💀
Same! They were both phenomenal-jumping around dancing, singing in Korean and rapping! And then how they were ranked was so disappointing.
why they always let KG do only singing? is JYP not debuting her as a performer lol?

Forgot to mention but kendall over THE camilla ???????
I think either Lexus or Camila should be the leader of the group. They have such dedication and passion for performing. They're very honest people that want everyone to do great. It is a perfect example of a leader that leads by example!
Edit: I just knew Lexi was going to be the leader!!
imo
Camila - leader
Lexus - lead dancer
@@twosixfour understandable but imo she could be main dancer if anything
Camila is the leader and it's not even close.
@@twosixfourwho's gonna be the main dancer if Lexus is lead? She's clearly the best dancer
@@anooshajamil1596Christina is the best dancer not Lexus
Tbh Lexus somehow feels like the most natural member of a global group. She did ballet too! I’m rooting for her sooo freaking much
I was thinking that.. her voice sounded like she was already in a group too
Rapping and all
Me too
Meeeee tooooo
Savannas ranking did her dirty. She sang a 8 member song, learnt and executed a complex dance so well, learnt Korean and you mean to tell me she was ranked 5th. She deserved the top three spot after that insanely impressive performance
I totally agree! Not to mention she did it with a sprained ankle and didn’t even use it as an excuse.
I like savanna too, but honestly, there were a lot of dancing mistakes.

yep she's sp cute and makes me relaxed😊
Which vocal coach are you referring to? There are two of them, just like there are two dance coaches (male and female). Are you talking about the brown-haired one who coached Lexus (3:45) or the black-haired one who coached Savannah (27:45)?
aww everyone gathering around to help yuna while she was practicing really proves how close they are 🥹
KG needs to show her dancing skills while singing just like everyone else…
Yeah I absolutely love KG and she's super sweet but how can she just sit down and sing? Then somebody should be allowed to only dance without singing. Like unless JYP is planning on debuting her in a band (which would be fire) she should be dancing too. Especially because she definitely started out the worst and has much more to improve compared to f. e. Lexus or Gina.

I understand why Lexus is always so nervous, JYP always praises her saying that she’s the best dancer, but always ends up in a very low place. Not everyone is going to be great at everything at first but I’m rooting for her, she’s improving at singing!
yeah but there's nothing bad about it. there are just better singers than her. i'm also rooting for her!
Right? He said it was the best performance and then put her in the bottom again... like what. Her singing was fine, she deserves better.
i agree with you
he is just playing for the clout...every body knows Lexi is amazing
It’s obvious his focus is more on the singing aspect of things. Tbh they all could just debut with their dancing skills, but they all could definitely not debut based on vocals.
The way I just cried for Yuna 😭😭 from a preforming standpoint, it’s so devastating preparing so hard for a particular part to end up missing the cue for it. I hope she’s able to find some learning points from the experience 😭😭
I mean she got the ability but she's got a little bit confused so that's why but I really wish she debut I like her

Agree with you
christina is so precious omg . she's my favourite
she’s definitely a stay lmaoo
I'd love to their reaction
it was so cringe
Honestly Lexi is showing such great leadership qualities along with Camila. They both jump up fast to makes sure the other members are feeling ok and confident in themselves. I cant see the group without those 2
Savanna is so crazyyyy!!! Imagine performing thunderous while the changbin and han part is so harddd but she SLAYEDDD
Whatever jyp say about Lexus, for me she's one of the girls there who's been improving a lot and so stable when performing ever since, she looks so natural when performing.
I was shocked at how well Yuna kept it together this episode. She knew she made a huge mistake and kept pushing through the performance. Then she took the criticisms and the ranking with surprising stoicism. That’s mental toughness

She is so damn good! Didn't lie her audition but I fell in love with her since O.O!
Yas me too, im rooting for her since O.O cover

She did gain a lot of confidence in fact. She can watch from TV now.
One thing i noticed she is definitely better at performing brighter songs
@@Sagopearli agree
As a person who has anxiety, I really admire Yuna for her bravery and her wanting to improve, I'm also glad that she has her members to support her
edit: yall she obviously lacks basic skills but I’m talking about how Yuna having anxiety still decided to pursue her dreams
'wanting to improve'. She didn't even practise over that 6 month break. It's obvious.
She's one of the weakest contestants. IMO, she's going to be eliminated. She doesn't have the star quality and aggressiveness to compete like many trainees do. The Korean trainees for Korean groups are far more aggressive and dedicated than her. She can't even compete with these trainees.

They seem really smart too which is very impressive
yes, i really like how there is no evil editing in these shows. Neither here or in Nizi project a few years back.Definentely prefer seeing this.
In this episode, I can see that Kendall is involved more in comforting and caring for other contestants. The way she touches and comforts Lexus and Yuna is very loving. I didn’t see that in her at the LA Boot Camp. She changed and improved not just in skills but also in her character. Lexus, please improve on your vocals I would love to see you debut. Camila and Savanna are 🔥. Everyone did great! Proud of all the girls! ❤
Yes she’s definitely changed ever since jyp called her out on being last place in the character peer votes
i love how JYP didn't make this a competition against the contestants, and how the girls always help eachother in their lacks.
Yea but who ranks last needs to get competitive it could get messy
@@tkkashat6887 true true but instead of having to compete to not get last place the other girls could help out
Probably because he's low-key expecting the girls to piggyback and train others in their free time considering professional company training is so sparse and little.... anybody noticed that? Just look at Yuna examples, the girls stepped in to help her..I don't think they're receiving adequate training at this moment
well at this point I dont see hope for the trainees who arent getting better like yuna and gina if yuna gets last again i see gina ranking last again unless one of the other girls severely messes up. I feel like the lower ranking girls have to get competitive or they are out. even with all the help from the girls yuna still ranked last she needs to focus@@shrimpkat8133
@LovelyLittleLillies I disagree with you respectfully. Instead of competing against one another and helping each other as a group speaks louder than any solo artist, regardless of what show they go on.

how did savanna get 5h place? she sang a really hard song that was originally sang by 8 members so she barely got any time to breathe, she rapped like K-pop's best rappers (changbin) she danced to a really hard song that was originally danced by 8 members. keep in mind she was 1 person doing all that, she didnt have as much experience as them, she was waaaay younger than them, and SHE HAD AN INJURED LEG. HOW DID SHE GET 5TH? SHE DESERVED 1ST!
EXACTLY!!! She did the job of 8 members all by herself AND also performed what is arguably one of the most demanding kpop songs ever, her performance stood out among the rest and she at the very least deserved to be in top 3
She did it all with a sprained ankle too
JYP obviously have favorites, which is sad because Savanna was my least favorite at the auditions but she have improved so much. She’s definitely top tier
Savanna was just amazing. I think the only thing that was lacking was her Korean pronounciation, but the rest was near perfect. It's by far the hardest performance of the day, it included intense dancing, fast rap, powerful vocals, loads of facial expressions, all of it in a foreign language, from a group of 8 men (!!!) and on top of it she was so confident and executed it with a smile on her face, although being injured. JYP underrates her. She deserved to be in the Top 3.
Absolutely agree. Was shook she wasn't in top 3 with that performance.
she 100% should’ve been top 3! and in terms of “emotion” i’m not sure how else savanna could’ve expressed through such a fast paced, high energy song. kg placing higher over her is insane
I respect your opinion. But
JYP and the training team have produced proven stars for decades as experts. Their eyes are accurate.
JYP wants them to express their feelings when they sing and dance. pronunciation would not have been a problem. the dance is already perfect, and if her singing skills improve further, she will be in the top three.
I don't see Savannah getting enough credit in the comments, she freaking killed it. Her song not only had the hardest dance but it was also so fast vocally especially in a whole other language. SHE DID IT FREAKING INJURED 🎉🎉🎉
YEEESSS SHE'S SO GOOD!!! 🥹
Savannah deserves all the credit. She was amazing!!!
Girl literally do gym while dancing for me she’s the one with the most difficult performance I’m proud of her
Especially for 6th month trainee, she did pretty good evaluation n her dedication to learn the language especially the rap part deserves a praised...not even korean rap in japanese, they usually rap in english or korean, so she did rap in korean is definitely not easy
Savanna is wayyyyy better than KG
i was literally screaming kicking my feet watching savanna perform, she did sooo well. she’s so powerful in her performance, i’m really happy she chose thunderous so she could showcase her rapping. i’m just rambling at this point, but i’m just so amazed by her
u are so real for this
I did see what JYP was talking about, how she needs bigger moves, but I LOVED her performance I literally smiled! My Husband was like what are you smiling about 😅
that was literally my reaction, i was quiet-screaming and jumping on my bed😭😭
OMG MY GIRL LEXUS 🥹🥹🥹 you’ve grown and improved each time I watch you perform… I really felt your surprise and happiness as soon as JYP said “Best Performance so far” that I got teary eyed.. hoping to see you debut! X❤️X❤️
well..forgot to mention that I’ve loved “Like This” since 10yrs ago and remembered trying the dance steps with my colleagues during break time😂 (my age is showing, lol)
I love the way Savanna presents herself ,her talking and overall disposition. She’s also crazy talented, I’m really rooting for her ❤
A huge respect to Kaylee, the girl is growing!
Maybe others are deteriorating.
I can't believe she is in my age 😢
She is growing and glowing 🥰😊
I feel bad for Yuna, I can tell she was so nervous before and so disappointed and sad after not remembering the rap, but she kept going as any other idol would.. other than that she did so well ❤❤
Yes the most important part is that she kept going and didn’t give up. This actually makes me like her more because I wholeheartedly believe that since she has so much room for improvement, she can be the most determined to do well. I’m sure that she’ll improve a lot more now that she faced this ranking again.
To all the people saying Yuna cries a lot
It’s natural to cry when you are getting discouraged. Especially since she knows she has a lot more to work on than the other girls.
right! i saw a comment saying “she cries every episode” dude they are KIDS. smh
A2K is the healthiest show I've seen so far. The way the girls help and support each other, especially with yuna, the way they helped her with her singing and dancing and imparting confidence on her, and the way they comforted her when she didn't get the stone, that's family right there.
They are definitely catering to the American audience. I think JYPE is really trying to pick nice girl next door types and aren’t looking for cutthroat people. I’m watching NIZi too and he’s much stricter on the Japanese and doesn’t ask how they are doing mentally or show as much care.
Love this show. So tired of shows with dramatics like in sixteen where they threw someone as talented/long training as Jihyo in class B for no dang reason but to humiliate her.

Yuna does have a long way to go when it comes to singing, but I don't think it's too far off from the rest of the group's. Her voice itself actually sounds good. She just needs more practice. She can be great. She just needs to believe in herself and practice more. Her missing the rap part definitely brought her confidence down a lot, which affected both her singing and dancing
I was impressed to see her continue the performance even if she made a mistake but I kinda feel that she seems less prepared like she takes a long time to learn the choreagraphy and at the beginning of the show she was most of the time not on the beat.. I really like her personality and how she gains confidence but I just don't feel that she is on the same level as the other girls it's just my opinion
And if she’s being judged completely, dancing, singing and expressions, so other contestant should be too
She’s eliminated 💀
@stantxtstraykidsandseventeen My point still stands
Well she can work on her singing while watching the girls debut from TV
I love how JYP pulls the “they gave more emotion” card whenever he wants his favorites to rank higher lmao
Lol, so right
smh fr
Bro this is so ACCURATE, Like KG over Savana ???? Over Christana ?????? Bffr.
爆笑 そのとおり！！
His rankings are so confusing because you don't know what he's gunna prioritize, talent or feel. Some of people are ranked high for potential and some are ranked lower even though their skill is obviously better. But then Camilla is 2nd so it's like what are you prioritizing JYP??? Like skill or feel because it's literally so confusing.
Lowkey I felt like he put KG so high because he needed her to sing the theme song lmao. Her performance was werid to me because she always gets to sing, but how is she allowed to sing and do nothing else? Then Yuna might as well danced and not sang at all.
And then Kendall placing first is just favoritism to me, like she got the feel and she did great but not first place great. Like she's barely audible when singing. And in the next episode they do the theme song and he tells KG that her voice is thin and then Kendall goes and her voice is so damn thin and he doesn't say shit about it. It's literally so confusing. And then he brings in Kaylee because obviously Kendall's vocals are not pulling the weight.

I cried with Yuna. She is so worthy of all the love and support and time she needs.

She has that talent. But the thing is that she's nervous. That's why sometimes she loses her confidence. but i want her to debut . Because she's one of my ultimate biases along with Camila and Lexus. ❤
Literally, everything he said was that she has this particular star quality, but she lacks a lot of basic skills, so that makes it easier for her to lose confidence.
I think Yuna got more nervous all of a sudden when she realized her cat ears actually make her hair fall all over her face. I think it distracted her and she started freaking out inside and lowkey panicked that she forgot what to do next. It means she needs to practice even longer than the other girls. Keep practicing until you can do it without thinking. Also keep in mind of your hair accessories and how that might affect the type of choreography you will do. Don't leave it to last minute and ending up getting distracted in your real performance. Yuna I believe in you. You have the most star quality in the whole group in my opinion. You need to know you have it, be confident. You are smarter than you give yourself credit for. Believe it and don't get discouraged, you already got this far. You are amazing Yuna!
lexi is the real definition of someone who can be scared, who can be unconfident, who can be unable to say the truth ahead to others but she's the real one who has a bug courage even over the big and hotter under pressure of the audition!! can't wait for her to shine
WHAT? Lol I gave no idea what you're trying to say here. 😂
lexi has the best foundations. her dancing, i mean who can compete? her singing and rapping parts literally sound like a kpop artist without all the autotuning, she just needs more confidence and training to polish it and shes golden. jyp just has higher expectations for her because she is that good. girl has to seriously gain some major confidence and shes got it. if jyp lets her go, biggest loss next to kaylee and camila.
“sounds like a kpop artist without all the autotuning” these stages are autotuned though 😭
Her performance was perfect for me and I am so happy to see her improving that much I think she has all the capacity to debut

We can tell JYP wants Lexus to debut that's why he's just always encouraging her to improve more on vocals
jyp is def more focused vocal for this grp then performance and we can see it
I have a feeling that she would debut
it is, because JYP is famous for its girl group artists who have weak vocals (except nmixx), and especially since this is for the western market, I understand that JyP aka goofy guy is concerned a lot about vocals, at the same time he has no doubts about the dancing skills of some of the contestants and their star quality.
@@RIQS-f8uacting like twice got weak vocals
@@JoaoPFS01 If I have to be honest, only 3 out of 9 have good vocals, if look at the whole company, almost half of the company have weak vocals, JYP knows that, he can EVEN criticize Itzy's vocals, bcs he knows the facts, like it or not , it is what it is
Savanna's performance was insane she totally deserves debuting
It's insane to me that KG ranked higher than Cristina, Savanna and Kaylee. I feel like it should be a requirement to dance and sing
Right? The rest of them are out here doing a full choreography and performance. Singing with guitar is not at all easy but it is nothing compared to singing/ rapping a foreign language while doing a full dance routine with facial expressions. I expected her to place 8th bc she deliberately chose to not show off improvement in her biggest weakness
Exactly, it's RARE that they will have an opportunity to just stand there and sing. It's the total package.
Agreed with you
Yep
True. Top 3 shouldve be camilla, kendall and kaylee
savanna's performance was SO IMPRESSIVE, and camila's voice in the end music is just so good to hear
I’m surprised savanna ranked that low with the compliments she received she did amazing
Pretty sure the other judges's opinion made the differences. I mean even cristina received soo much complimence from jyp, I thought she'd be in top3.

Lexus, Yuna bye! 🤔 You guys should debut under a different Entertainment company.
because you two don't seem like a good fit for the JYP Entertainment company.😑
I feel so bad for Yuna :( She worked so hard for that rap to just miss it for her amazing performance :[
I feel so bad for Yuna. My heart broke for her. Honestly, while I believe KG did a great job, you have to acknowledge that contestants like Cristina, Lexus and Savanna challenged themselves by charging headfirst into areas that aren’t as skilled in, so it does feel unfair that KG placed higher without challenging herself to the same extent through dancing. I also have doubts about Savanna’s ranking. Idk what emotions JY Park wanted from Thunderous but I thoroughly enjoyed her performance and expressions and he clearly feels Stray Kids will too. He complimented her singing and dancing too, so I think she deserved higher ranking having hit all areas of critique.
I really don't think the girls chose what songs to perform, so KG would have been told to perform a song with the guitar.
My guess is (assuming she makes the group, which I have faith she will) they're going to eventually just kind of push her into being the lead songwriter/guitarist to add some ~credibility~ to the group for American audiences.

Totally agree about the rank of KG, although she really did great in her performance but I mean why did they chose that song though. They should've chosen a song where she will be able to showcase her dance so that it won't seem unfair to the other contestants who performed both.
i wish we could have seen her improvement in dance but who knows. the best part bout kpop BESIDES the vocals, its the choreo. the choreos always hit along with the vocals. its not just about singing too.
I also think Savanna should have had a higher rank. She performed a STRAY KIDS song all by HERSELF. Even male trainees have a hard time performing SKZ songs as a team.
How did Savannah single so stably while dancing SO hard like that? She was amazing
Thats what I also noticed. That's why Iam thinking Savanna is the hidden gem among the candidates. If her vocals were improved she could be the best. She has good control of her breathing and her vocals are still pleasing to hear eventhough not yet developed. Interms of dancing its definitely her forte.
Savanna has a star personality, good mentality, and her strength is growing steadily.
Dang didn't know Savanna was a guy? 😂
His?
@@JustPassingBy_Yololmao
When i saw savanna, i was literally screaming: “PUT HER ON STRAY KIDS STAGE!” Literally on the top of my lungs😊
You can just tell how much the girls love each other It will be so hard if not everyone debuts
true
In front of the camera, yes, of course they do.
It's gonna be heartwrenching if not all of them debut. I wonder if that's why JYP said to expect a lot of tears in the last episode (he said this in the afterparty video)
I’m afraid yuna won’t make it. She throws tantrums and breaks too easily. She’s just not cut out for this
@@MatthewJones-cl1sb I mean, I'm not too sure if she'll make it or not, but I think that anyone who messes up like that and their evaluation doesn't go smoothly when they practiced so hard would cry and break probably, but I was thinking that if she continues to make mistakes and can't keep up with the beat every time she practices, then she probably isn't cut out for it. I still love her though ;)
savanna was so fricking good i was screaming clapping my hands and getting goosebumps all at the same time!!!!! this really was a PERFORMANCE! i go lost just watching her and enjoying the show, thats what real performance is!!!!
Exactly he performance was probably my second favourite to Kendalls. That's why it bothered me she was below Kaylee in the rankings
Right it's definitely one of the best skz covers out there, especially done by the opposite gender, than voice tone & dancing was really impressive!
i dont know much about professional dancing and singing but i personally didnt enjoy kendalls performance really.. like it was a too naked look for someone her age and it made me feel weird. maybe just me because shes jyps favorite and the whole thing with kpop debuting minors, giving them adult songs and clothing just reminded me of that... but i did not enjoy it T-T@@nav-1-i6b
I feel like savana deserved more credit she should have gotten 3rd place. KG did do well with vocal but I felt like savana slayed the dance
Honestly, I would have ranked Savanna 2nd and Camila 1st. Savanna fricken killed it. Jyp said he ranked them based on their ability to convey emotions and move the audience, well, Savanna literally blew me away, I was screaming like as if I was at a concert 😂. I was doing that for both Savanna and Camila's performance so those two were top tier for me.
Right? I feel like he ranked the top three as who he wanted to sing the theme song.
Omg your so right like 😮
savana shouldve placed 3rd
I honestly don't understand why they didn't have KG do a dance performance. We all know her singing is amazing but her dancing skills are what's lacking. Like why not use the individual assessment as a chance for her to improve her dance skills?
Savanna did just an EXTRAORDINARY performance. Dancing (eventho she has a sprained ankle), rapping, singing and all that with incredible facial expressions is just WOW. plus she pronounced every single word perfectly eventho litteraly 90% of the song is in korean. The best performance with Camila's, maybe beyond !
Omg, my Savanna killed this performance. She sings and raps so consistently even when dancing choreography like Thunderous. This look suited her so well, she looked so cool. She and Lexi are the best power dancers. It's so cool that skz will see this amazing performance. And I also like that Jyp correctly evaluates Lexi. If she improves her vocals, she will be perfect. But she's still the best dancer. And I’m incredibly glad that it was our girls who sang the A2K song❤❤❤
Savannah and Kg are underrated and Kendall overrated.
i felt like they should chose a diff song for her we already saw her do well for straykids in LA so the difference wont be as noticeable. Also, Savanna vocals r good she just needed training but a hard chero like straykids she cant show showcase her improvement vocal wise.
In my personal opinion, Savannah and lexus deserved a much higher ranking.
Also, i am SO FRICKING EXCITED FOR THE NEXT EVALUATIONS I LOVE ALL THE SONGS THEIR DOING!!
Im also really nervouse because so many members were crying 😢
And when JYP said he was going to show Savannahs performance to Stray Kids I was SO PROUD!!! I learned the Thunderous choreo, and its not easy, and she SLAYED. I reallly hope theres footage of Stray Kids reacting to it!!!
Let's hope for savannah to get noticed by skz cuz her performance wasn't easy to do at all but still she delivered a really powerful performance, she's already my bias
Yes, I also want to see Stray Kids reacting to Savanna's performance!
Last time on "next time", they showed JYP saying, "I can't give you the stone" and several girls crying. Then it turned out that particular quote was him telling Lexi that if she has not improved her vocals by the next evaluation, then he can't give her a stone. So it was deliberately misleading. I get it, it's dramatic, and it makes us want to watch.
I really hope that what happened with Yuna today turns out to be the foundation for the drama for when she absolutely nails the next evaluation. 🙏😍🌸🌺
@@dronesclubhighjinksit can be really misleading, and ugh I was really scared
@@i_am_unstoppable0109 she's my bias too! ♥ followed by Lexus ♥
@@i_am_unstoppable0109 we will keep hoping for the best!
I think Yuna's main problem is that she doesn't have a sense of rhythm. Not everyone does. Good news however is that this can definitely be taught! If she fixes that, I think her learning process when learning the dances and singing will go much smoother. She definitely has the determination and dedication!
Determination and dedication yet she still can't catch the beat 6 months after her first audition. She had this problem in most of her performances and jyp literally tells her every time and she still does it. It's always idk, I got confused etc.
Always looking for an excuse.
@@akanakaa What is she suppose to say? "I'm offbeat because...? Isn't confused as straight up as it gets?
I am suprised that she couldn't find the beat to come in with her rap (unless she forgot her lyrics). But without a doubt Yuna has the most to go (and the most potential too).
Appreciate the desperation to make up for the missed lyrics with more power for the second half of the chorus, even if it came out a little scuffed. The vocal and choreo for the rest of the song was great! Yuna is definitely my favorite of the bunch, even if she may not be ready to debut just yet.
She lacks in rhythm. And its super hard to teach that. So if she did not improve in 6 months then I think its not gonna go anywhere from there.
@@meroxky112 most potential? she had half a year……… we’re the ones confused
Hahah as someone who has no rhythm for sh*t, I honestly couldn't say that, because I am even worse and she was let in and taken to South-Korea for a reason first...so I suppsoe "Miracles have happend!" Over there in the trainee phere.
Savannah just had the BEST performance of the entire show!!! I was so into it and obsessed, W O W!!
Lexus is such a gem,i personally think she grow the most considering how weak she was in vocals. Her presence,dance,vocal and raps are saurrrr gooooddd
Savannah is the most powerful all rounder in A2K. She's so underrated and deserves more credit. She slayed that Thunderous performance and the best part is that she'll be watched by Stray Kids themselves. It's an amazing honor to have your performance by the original performers is so amazing.
tbh camilla is perfect all rounder, now we just need see if she can doing hard and spicy dance with christina at back door performance
I'm so glad they included kaylee for the ending song, imo for her age she has one of the best voices
Single handedly made savanna my bias, i mean shes singing, DANCING DANCING, and rapping, IN KOREAN, and expressing so much emotion
Fr and she was stable while being injured
Lexi can SING woaaaahhh I don't know why JYP said it wasn't enough for the next performance, I think it sounded great and she was so stable... Truly don't understand. LEXI YOU CAN DANCE, SING, AND RAP! YOU GOT THIS!
JYP는 이전의 오디션 즉 5개도시 오디션과 LA 부트캠프 오디션 그리고 한국으로 가기 전 수행했던 팀별 미션에서 각각 평가하는 기준점이 다릅니다.
그리고 한국에서 도착해서 JYP건물에서 합숙하며 훈련을 받고 치르는 오디션은 그 기준이 점점 높아집니다.
이번에는 렉시에게 수톤을 주지만 다음에도 똑같은 수준이면 스톤을 줄수 없다는 말은 지금까지 4번의 오디션에서 점점 더 발전 한 것처럼 다음 오디션에서 지금보다 더 발전해 있어야 한다는 말입니다.
마지막으로 이전까지의 JYP 오디션은 재능 발견, 잠재력 발견, 장점 발견이어서 아마추어 수준이라도 재능이 있거나 잠재력이 있어보이먼 극찬을 했습니다.
하지만 한국에서 JYP 건물에서 합숙해서 치르는 오디선은 기존 가수 수준의 높은 기준에 도달 할수 있는가 아닌가로 평가를 하기때문에 당연히 가혹할수 밖에 없습니다.
최소한 이전보다 더 발전하지 않는 사람은 자연스럽게 탈락하는 시스템이지요.
you and jyp don't have the same standards, that's why
you're obviously not the judge
@@akanakaa yeah, we obviously don't
유치원때의 시험과 초등학교에서의 시험기준 그리고 중학교와 고등학교의 시험 기준이 같으면 안됩니다.
그리고 훈련을 받기 전에 요구 되는 결과하고 훈련을 얼마나 받았는냐에 따라 요구되는 기대치는 점점 더 높아지는 것이 당연합니다.
예전에는 이 사람이 스타가 될 가능성이 있느냐?에 기준을 두고 뽑았다면
지금은 기존의 K팝 가수들 수준과 비교해서 얼마만큼 도달해 있느냐가 평가의 기준이 됩니다.
여기서 가장 중요한 가산점은 성장속도입니다.
당장은 춤이든 노래이든 못하더라도 이 전과 비교해서 확실히 달라졌다면 당연히 가산점이 주어지구요.
정반대로 이전기준으로는 잘하는 편이었는데 훈련을 받은 후에도 크게 달라지는 것이 없어서 더 높아진 채점 기준으로는 낙제에 가까운 점수를 받았다면 탈락 위험성이 큽니다.
그래서 꼴찌 2번을 하면 자동 탈락이 됩니다.
기준이 달라지는 것이 당연합니다.
훈련을 받기전과 훈련 받은지 2주가 지났을때의 평가 그리고 3개월, 6개월이 지났을때의 발전 속도와 현재의 기량 등이 평가 기준이 됩니다.
이 사람을 데뷔시킬지 틸락 시킬지 하는 기준은 단순합니다.
이 사람이 현재 수준으로 미리 계획된 스케쥴을 따르면 충분히 데뷔할 만한 기량을 갖출 가능성이 있을 것인가 아니면 한계에 달해 그 수준에 도달하는게 불가능한가에 따라
합격과 탈락이 주어집니다.
JYP knows Lexi has talent. He just wants Lexi to be able to release her fullest potential. And as the Korean comments above said, training is much more rigorous in Korea since they are getting directly trained by professionals. JYP wants each contestant to improve more at each evaluation. I know Lexi has improved a lot but I also know she can do even better with the training given. Being critical is given to help bring more dedication and focus. We all know Lexi is improving so much and we can only encourage her to keep doing that! ❤
Savanna deserved to be #1 not only did she have a sprained ankle and still have the best dance performance. Her vocals have improved incredibly to the point he had no negative things to say. Savanna was incredible! She rapped fast, sang well, and dances POWERFULLY - perfect fully! Amazing.
I hope yuna has improved and is more confident in herself and makes it through this and gets to debut 🥺
Me too. YUNA IS MY FAV!! She’s so pure🥹
yess I believe in her
Flop
@@Cute-v7ionly flop is you boo!😊
@@Cute-v7idefinitely not her
Honestly for once I dont think Kendall's win was simply JYP's favouritism. she absolutely DEVOURED that performance it was legit so good. as someone who has criticized Kendall in the past she has shown massive improvement
I’m not discrediting any of the performances but huge props to the girls who had to learn to sing in Korean on top of dancing, was super impressive to watch
They didn't have to. They chose to. While only a couple people decided to rest on their laurels and not put in the effort. Which in the backwards way of this show, was somehow rewarded.
You can just say KG 💀
한국어로 노래 한다는 것은 너무 어려운 일이었을 텐데, 사바나의 노력은 정말 대단합니다.
@@mehreennand Camila
True, I think it should’ve kind of been a requirement to at least deliver a dance with your performance. Cause these girls all got judged based off of their vocal stability while dancing and the pronunciation by the coaches. While she had one in her native language and was sitting down. Sooner or later she will have to prove all those aspects that she wants to ignore, so we’ll have to see then.
Lexi and Camila are leader material,either one,they both give the vibes ❤
렉시는 별로던데 올려치기 지랄낫노
Definitely agree 100%. ❤
I agree
Leader and sub leader
Will Melissa not come?
Camilla is really proving to be Leader material! Everyone’s got great progress. It seems like the MAIN GOAL OF FIRST EVAL IS TO PICK THE TOP SINGERS of the pool to sing the Outro - so of course Kendall, Camilla, KG, & Kaylee is the most logical top choice. JYP even said that if he was only judging based on dance alone Lexi would be first. But they aren’t (JYP & the other mentors) so of course they chose the best singers in the pool that has proved their skills time and time again.
Melissa should be there :(
Her choice tbf@@cassiokot
@@cassiokot well she couldn't
Yuna is so sweet, I really want her to succeed and believe in herself. Maybe she is not trained enough for something like this but she deserves amazing things!
Lexiちゃんずっとずっと気を張ってるような表情で、緊張もすごくしているみたいだったけど、終わった後の本当にホッとした表情と安心の涙を見てこっちも涙が止まらなかった🥲🥲🥲十分頑張ってるよ！！
I enjoyed Savanna's performance so much!! She was so good singing all the different parts while carrying out her dance SO well!
Glad to see that so many people finally recognize Savanna!
She was my favorite right from the start. She's such a good dancer and has a calm, but strong personality and aura to her. I would be truely shocked if she didn't make it into the final group.
me too. savana is my #1 bias now.
Same
@@deysyuniar2424she’s my bias too followed by Camilla and KG
Me too!! It is her visuals that drew me in and now she can sing and dance?! My girl is in the debut line!!
i wasn't big on her before because her attitude in that interview, she seemed too easy-going, but she did really good in this evaulation
Man JYP needa give Lexus more credit for her singing. She sounds so good actually and stable.
Its not stable
Yeah, and he doesn't say anything like that to Kendall, even though her vocals were honestly weaker than Lexus.
@@annikanielsen740 her vocals were not weaker than Lexuses whatttt
@@annikanielsen740 kendall's vocals were more stable
@@annikanielsen740 kendalls vocals are moree stable than lexus 100% especially in this performance
Ok really off topic but Cristina is HILARIOUS I literally think she could just stand there and talk and I’d laugh
Savanna is so underrated!! Her energy performing Thunderous was electrifying and her voice was booming! She really caught lightning in a bottle considering her injury and I'm sure she'll keep shining throughout the season and can weather any storm that comes her way! ❤
Savannah is literally so good. I feel at ease when watching her because of her confidence, skill, and stage presence. I hope we get to see more sides of her!
I was so proud of savanna omg. Knowing that thunderous is so tough to perform. She pulled it off! She's so talented
I'm sorry for Yuna, despite her mistake, she continued forward, and finished her presentation as it should be, I really hope she can improve and debut
They sabotaged Yuna In the next episode by cutting her bangs at an angle💀
