In a summary of the lengthy post, the netizen praised SM Entertainment artists’ Kyuhyun and Taeyeon, who both recently had their solo comeback and debut respectively, as “CD eaters,” i.e. perfect live vocals that sound exactly if not better than their CD recordings. The original poster also notes that Taeyeon did not seem as fidgety this week as she was last week on stage, which was her first debut week performance.

Male idol group BTOB was also noted for delivering a perfect live vocal performance this week with their comeback stage, “Way Back Home.”

Unfortunately, not everyone gained from the poor sound system as Oh My Girl‘s performance was below expectation with the netizen blaming pitchy vocals.
