[Variety] Immortal Song 2 0

Challengers: Changmin, Hyorin, Hongki, G.O., Junsu, Jiyoon

The legend they are singing is: Ju Hyun Mi - the queen of trot in Korea

I wasn't interested in watching this show when it first aired, I thought it would be just another music show. But as I watch each episode, it became more interesting. Watching the idols try to interpret a song their way, it's jjang! =)

1st to sing is Hyorin, it's her first time to sing first. What I love about her is she's so perky off stage but serious when she goes on stage. She's singing "The Rainy Yeongdong Bridge" which she incorporated with Korean traditional music. The song turned out really nice but her voice sounds like she's having a hard time competing with the background instruments.

2nd singer is Changmin singing "The Blues of Tears". He went for sentimental for his version of the song. I think it sounds a bit latino in style. The background music in this episode seem to be louder than before? I'm having a hard time hearing their voice.

3rd is Jeon Jiyoon to sing "We Meet Again". Her version was arranged to fit her voice I think. I really like the opening, sweet and cute. The next part was made into modern semi-rock version.

4th singer is Junsu with "Just a Second". The BTS of Junsu practicing with 2PM is cute, specially Khun doing that second voice! So cute!!! His version is hip hop with the help of Oneway's Chance. He even added rap in it. It turned out pretty good. =)

Hongki who won in the preliminaries chose to sing 5th. He's singing with FT Island again the song "The Man From Sinsadong". He made the song into britpop version. The opening sounds western, I was expecting him to sing in English, lol! XD Really really nice. =)

Last to sing is G.O. with the song "You Will Turn Into A Memory". He's doing it rock version after the almost original opening part. His voice is really nice, it's stronger than when he's singing Mblaq songs.
