With this winning SNSD set a new record of Music Bank highest score with epic 17,995 points. The previous record was DBSK’s Mirotic with 16,404 points. Aren’t the girls awesome or what?!

GAHHH~ I LOVE THE NEW UNIFORMS! They’re wearing tie~! They’re wearing tie~~~!
Haha I do have a thing for tie — and uniforms! Needless to say, this is my favorite Genie’s outfit so far… even pantless JeNy on the last SBS Inkigayo performance is no competition. :]
The fan-chants was loud, the girls performed well (but is it just me or they sound pretty tired, especially Tiffany? 😦 ). The backstage was dull and what about those random umbrellas?! I like how Tiffany said “DJ, put it back on!” on this performance. Finally we got a smart camera-man who focusing on Taeyeon during her ad-libs. It’s kinda cool how Seobaby was swinging her arm before saluting at the end… and gosh, I love how almost everyone (Sunny being the exception) were saluting at their ending pose. ❤ Haha I guess Sunny Bunny hasn’t get used to the salute or something.
Salute! Nice tie, Kwon Yuri!
Their winning is pretty much expected, tbh. After losing from 2PM last week (because at that time Genie album sales weren’t being counted yet due to album delay) now it’s undoubtedly SNSD’s turn to win. Moreover, their biggest competition for today, Seo Taeji, also had his album delayed too. Even though the winning was expected, but it’s truly amazing how the girls set a new highest score for MuBank by almost 18,000 points, beating THE Dong Bang Shin Ki record. I’d say that is such a big accomplishment for a girl group like SNSD to beat a record held by a group like DBSK. ^_^
SNSD Korean

i’ll transfer my comments here later, but GO SNSD! Man they’re up against seotaji and 2ne1 <- whose new song i dont care is really good.. i hate to say it but i love that song!

hehe the tie thing is funny ;D looking at tiffany’s tie, its the kind that is already premade and u just wear it around ur neck or somethign hahah x]
how come no one has mention tiffany messy tie??? i mean common there is so much to say about that?? where are the comments on that??
fine i will say it
because she and jessica had some last min fun right before going on stage, tiffany didnt have time to fix her tie when it was the girls turn, jessica kept track of time so her tie is okay, but tiffany must have been way into it…………
i know i know FAIL, but you get my idea….yeah??
shoot, it wasnt jessica……….it was taeyeon!!!!!!!!! OMGS HAHAHA taeyeon must be jealous of all the attention jeti has been getting…especially because of the bed scene last week….
i shouldnt hang around here and soshified anymore…it corrupting my brain!!
Holy crap 17995, SNSD raped those number hey….. hmmm 2ne1 is next week though…. and the song is a catchy summer song. Bah I have faith!!! They’ll have at least 2 more weeks of wins 😀
Congrats to the girls! They did great.
Have to agree that these uniforms are hot, but the stage was kind of “Uh, okay?” And, then everyone kind of seemed to be forcing the energy, but I was still excited nonetheless.
Tiffslut SPOTTED!
^ …Keekee so much to say about Tiffany’s loosened necktie. Oh Jessica~
Hmmm, vocally, this is not their best TMYWG performance. But yay, congragts! I was almost afraid they wouldn’t win.

I haven’t seen the video yet but I’m not sure I’m going to like the ties based on the still photos. And cuz I’m a guy who used to have to wear ties and is happier not to anymore.
Ahh… notice? Air Force blue. That’s the last of the military branches.
I received my DVD finally. I’m a bit of a warmonger myself but still I was a little shocked to see falling bombs as design in the booklet. I’m sure the military guys drooling over the photos didn’t mind, however.
Funny how the photos in these 2 mini-albums make everyone look especially pretty — except SeoHyun… ?!?! Thank god for YouTube.
what do u mean except seohyun?? ^^V
she’s my fav.. XD
I think that she’s the most beautiful — but none of the photos in the albums does her justice.
Well…that’s because she’s pretty much giving her usual….blank stare…
-sLaVe
Jeez Jessica, pay attention :p Just kidding haha but she looked like she was about to cry. And Jessica, you lazy but, sing! You’re a lead singer! Stop holding those flowers, trying to look pretty xD
Hahah Tae’s face when manYuri threw the flowers was priceless.

ive been noticing something as they do more and more performances of genie.. it kinda pisses me off.
some of the girls are completely off key for this song when they do it live, but its not their fault. almost all the parts they got dont fit their vocal range. for example, yuri’s part right before the chorus is always off because yuri’s vocal range just doesnt go that high. After the chorus, tiffany and sunny both get parts that go really low… now really, since when were they known to be able to sing low?
nyways. im not meaning to flame snsd im meaning to flame the retarded songwriters who assigned them their parts. it doesnt seem like they’re just off practice, or exhausted. every performance has been the same.
i thought this was worth sharing cuz… hell idk why. mayb im the only one pissed, but i was thinking it makes the girls look worse when they go off key.. so its something else for the anti’s to get them for. our girls normally arent off key, which is an amazing accomplishment since they dance while they sing too. it doesnt seem like this dance involves as much effort as the others though, since it doesnt involve as much arm movement.
anyways.. i.. dont know why i posted this here yet. so…
oh well i already typed it out.
No, keep doing what you’re doing. I’m always one for constructive criticism and sharing opinions. Hell, I do it about SNSD on the blog and I’m a fan! Why can’t other fans do it? Like I said in my Official Statement, let’s all be honest! All of us! We need more of this! It’s no fun when there’s only about 5 of us who do it :p
When I was writing TMYWG and I think it might’ve been in one of the color coding posts, I talked about how irritating it was to do that BECAUSE of all the key changes in their voices. All of them are singing in a key higher than their usual range at the beginning AND end of their verses.
Tiffany is actually pretty good at going low, just not for too long.
Yuri really doesn’t have much range, so I did feel kinda of bad that they made her sing a key higher.
Sunny… I don’t know if today was just a bad performance because Sunny’s range isn’t bad at all. Not saying her vocals have wide range, but she does pretty well with whatever she’s given. However, I think she might’ve just been out of breath?
-sLaVe
i was thinking sunny would have been able to hit those notes too, but it was for every perfomance so far. i realized she’s going under middle C into the bass range and staying there for 20 counts, while holding a few notes in there as well. her vocal range is pretty low for a girl, and she’s got a nice pair of lungs, but thinking about it, the lowest pitch i can find her going to is in her solo for the working mom ost. the general range for that is half an octive higher than her part here. that’s a pretty big leap. as for fany, i couldnt find much of her singing low. almost all her parts focus on her going higher.
taeng and sica both have the greatest ranges, and that’s why they always get the best parts. fany and sica both have powerful lungs, but their ranges arent as big. they’re better at holding more difficult notes for longer periods.
When Tiffany is singing ballads or singing those mid-tempo American pop songs, she goes low but not for too long because I think she starts to run out of breath or gets off key/off note. Like she said herself, her voice has gotten huskier and a bit deeper ever since some sort vocal nodule. However, she still can reach those very high pitches (almost like a whistle register that Sunny can hit) like she did in Come To Play (which totally throws me off because I’m not used to her singing like that).
Sunny, if you listen to her sing ballads (like First Love), her voice can reach those lows… just not as long as Tiffany. So out of all the vocalists in SNSD, her lower notes may not be her strong point. But honestly, I prefer it than the voice she used during the Tell Me cover. But what you’re saying about Sunny here is that they’re making her go deeper than her usual deepest limits? If so, then I can see what you’re saying.
Jessica’s range honestly isn’t that great but her lungs are really good. I think Tiffany, Sunny, and most definitely Taeyeon have the best ranges. However, like I said, Tiffany can’t seem to hold her notes for too long… like Changmin of DBSK, her voice isn’t as controlled as the other three.
Plus, like the girls and SM said, they’re trying a lot of new things with this song.
Okay, I think I’m just going in circles lol I’ll shut up now. I’m not even that well versed in choral notes.
-sLaVe
I don’t think Tiff is a natural contralto. I think she left for Korea too late. She left after picking up the ugly American habit of American woman who lower their voices cuz they think it sounds sexy.
And she brought that into her singing. The result is a misplaced voice — deep in her throat. It may not have been the cause of her nodules but it definitely could be (her talking loud as mentioned in another post could be contributing factor).
You only have to hear the clarity of her voice improve as she goes up the scale while singing solo to realize that her voice prefers to be up there.
Sunny too sounds better the higher she goes.
Tiffany also needs to learn to breathe properly. Wobbly tones are almost always signs of a failure of breath control (ie, using the diaphram). Thin tones, too — which almost everyone but TaeYeon is guilty of.
In a sense it’s the song writer’s or arranger’s fault. The song has a larger than typical range so if the singer is going to hit those high notes they necessarily start low. This is ages old situation — I’ve familiar with many songs with the same demands.
I agree that Tae and Jessica are the best equipped for large ranges but even they had to start lower than comfortable just to accommodate the other singers who couldn’t go high enuf. It would make more sense to hand those parts to Tae and Jess but the song must be shared or the fans of the individual singers would get restive.
Despite my preference for good vocals, the noisy arrangement has made this tolerable for me.
