My (late
) thoughts on this past week:
- Wasamin did epic. Of course, she's Wasamin.
- I feel so bad for Miorin. She totally choked.
I think she just got too nervous. Fuck, who wouldn't be going up after Wasamin? To be honest, I don't think her inclusion in this contest was a troll or gag. There were some notes in the middle that were surprisingly good. I think it was just nerves and pressure besting what she's capable of.
- Shiichan surprised me. Pretty good!
- Sato Amina has one of those high anime-esque voices. She's able to do some pretty good things with it. I liked her performance.
- Ishida Haruka impressed me. My Amina comments pretty much apply to her, but I think she was able to do more with her high voice than Amina did. I want to see her sing more stuff.
- Takeuchi Miyu did good. The English parts were awkward but I expected that. And honestly, the song she picked, I'm amazed she did as good as she did. Utada's songs seem really written for her specific voice, so kudos.
- I wasn't too wow'd by RanRan's performance compared to the last one. Some of the timing felt off. Then again I'm not a huge fan of slower songs in general.
She did decent with it, though.
- Komari picked a huge song. I give her kudos for her guts cause this song would be easy to totally fuck up. I don't think she nailed it, not even close. But, she didn't fuck it up at all either. For that alone, I'm extremely impressed. I'm honestly quite glad she won over Suzuran, if only because RanRan will get plenty of opportunities in the future. Komari needs all the chances to shine she can get. She's really great, and people need to see that.
This stuff is great. I really hope that once this set of girls is done, we haven't seen the last of it. Maybe the girls sitting around are the next group? That could be interesting.
