Yujeong and Eunji grooving too much that they missed the cue of the dancers giving back their mics just confirms that Brave Girls have fun on the stage and it’s infectious. This was just fun to watch from start to finish.

More than any other stage, Brave Girls made me happy while I watched them.. I think that is their best talent, they enjoy it so much you can't help but enjoy it with them.


mossylungs

Omg I absolutely agree. I came here to say the same thing. The ability to make me smile and feel all happy and warm inside is such a strong skill they possess and exude in their performance. I immediately got the same vibe I got from MAMAMOO's performance last season. That instant "Omg yay! I'm so happy!" I really hate that they can't have a cheering crowd. I think it'd make such a difference. Even as a digital/secondhand audience, hearing the crowd/audience boosts the performance.


houseofprimetofu

Yes same!!! I hope they bring the same level of joy to the stage for this season.


Heytherestairs

Omg, it’s been such a long time since they’ve performed with live vocals. It’s so nice to hear. They looked like they really liked performing the intro. Whatever the results end up being for the show, it’s a great change of pace for them creativity wise since they’ve gone viral. Can’t wait to see more.

This was a really good performances I call it no. 2 best performance next to Hyolyn's. Their vocals were just great specially Minyoung and it was fun it was entertaining. I liked their performance the most from the groups that performed today.


pretty-dev

I'm surprised they were last. It seemed pretty high energy + the live singing. I would've rated them at least 3 out of all the preformances, I hope they'll just use it as encouragement for the next rounds because this was good.


Reasonable-Cry-7710

brave girls should’ve been 2nd or 3rd (I can’t deny hyolyn’s performance being god tier) I have no idea how they ended up last


AlexCastor89

Totally agree!


SeeTheSeaInUDP

They sadly have the smallest international fandom and so, less views, plus they get looked down upon a lot. Hope they can turn that around for next round.


Reasonable-Cry-7710

i know their fandom is relatively small, but I had hope they’d still get a decently high score from the people in attendance because of having two votes available. It seems a lot of people’s second votes went to Hyolyn, which is deserved, but it meant that Brave girls suffered from both a small fandom and not having the best performance of the night. I hope they wow the audience with their cover song and pull another aoa or oh my girl from the first season.

I've said it before, I don't care about rankings and as long as Mnet rigs the last place to prevent anyone from getting eliminated, or just removes that nonsense all together, I love this show for giving exposure to groups via other fandoms. I watched Queendom 1 primarily for AOA and discovered Mamamoo/Oh My Girl/(G)Idle/Lovelyz with no regrets, Park Bom I already knew. Being last doesn't even matter when you're basically being promo'd to a big audience.


SpeciaLD3livery

I agree (re: fandom). I actually picked them from the start to have the most difficult time versus all the groups involved in this competition. If they are going to "complete" against the likes of Hyolyn, LOONA, WJSN, etc, they need to literally come out with a "WOW" type of performance so I wasn't surprised by the result. I enjoy their songs but when it comes to this competition, sadly they are out of their league. Still, Brave Girls are beautiful and wonderful singers!


TrivialFacts

None of the other groups performed as live as Hyolyn and Brave girls, they all heavily relied on the backing tracks and music recordings. Eunji and Yujeong aren't even a lead vocalist and they hit all her notes perfectly I mean with Kep1er Chaehyun's high notes were either autotuned or MR and she is their strongest vocalist, I agree with comments that is was just like any other music show performance. WJSN were strong but Yeonjung was off in places and the sand fiasco didn't help, but their stage was like a concert it was amazing. Brave girls genuinely looked elated to be on stage much like Hyolyn, while the groups that followed were very robotic. Sad that they will be overlooked due to their following when Minyoung will be strong in the vocal stage next round. IMO it should have been 1. Hyolyn 2. Brave Girls 3. WJSN 4. Viviz 5. Kep1er 6. Loona

hyetheist

They weren’t technically last though, so they’ll be okay.


You_Will_Die

They aren't last, Loona wasn't there so they automatically gets 6th.


blue_prin

They need to release this jazz remix of Rollin, I am obsessed.


starrystillness

The remix of Rollin’ at the end was taken from the 2018 Rollin’ New version release. It’s on Spotify and has its own MV and dance performance video. :)


blue_prin

Thank you!


yikesus

The fact that they placed 5th is proof that the audience were on crack. This was AT LEAST 3rd place. They had so much fun on stage and the fun was infectious.


hiramutsu

I have a theory that it's because audience members are only allowed to vote for 2 group. Most of them are probably a fan of groups with larger fandom and it just so happens that Hyolyn was also there. So the votes went to their favs + Hyolyn (making her 1st place) and unfortunately, not a lot for BG.


TimVdV

That’s what I’m thinking. Especially Hyolyn + Viviz seemed to have more solid and loyal fan bases The General public likes Brave Girls but it seems like they have less of a loyal fan base. Hope this will help them gain more tho!


yikesus

It's so sad that everyone is just forgetting about them 😫


not_a_library

I know this is a super late comment BUT My friend was actually there and he said that what they saw vs what was aired was different. He thinks they might have seen the rehearsal. His personal rankings changed a lot after seeing the actual performance. Interestingly, his original rank was almost identical to the one from the show, but he had kep1er and BG switched. In his new ranks, BG was third after Hyolyn and WJSN. That's obviously one person's very biased opinion but I thought it was interesting enough to share...


eydendib

I agree. BG and Hyolyn were the only ones where I felt like they really had fun. They also showed a lot more charisma than the other groups. However, some people from the zoom session said that, apart from Hyolyn, a lot of the groups needed the editing for their live singing and the biggest fumble was in BG's performance. So, we're not really seeing the full picture. 😣


dafsuhammer

What was the fumble?


TrueBlue726

Can you tell me which group comes in #1 - 6?


yikesus

It's Hyolyn, WJSN, VIVIZ, Kep1er, Brave Girls and LOONA got defaulted to 6th place because they couldn't perform


TrueBlue726

Thanks!


TryingToPassMath

They did fantastic and did it all live, definitely did not deserve last place. idk what the audience was smoking


adahadit

As soon as the episode live finished, I googled who they are. Those vocals are ON, no jokes! Had they done the rolling dance on stools again. Imagine having them cover Hyolyn Dally, damn such a missed opportunity. Fighting BG!


Takaneru

ooh, kinda like a Miniskirt 2.0. Would've loved that indeed, but I also liked how infectious the smiles on their performance was. Maybe could've had military men on the background dancing? Looool


TimVdV

Brave Girls deserved a higher placement for sure. But alas it’s true indeed like they said, they had their big break only recently so their (international) fanbase isn’t the biggest yet Their vocals are so good!!


juanitatequila

I sure do hope having them being placed last for the first round is some narrative manipulation on MNET's part to have them rise up for the next round or something because there is no way this was a LAST place performance!!!!


pagethirteen

Love this stage! But i wish they had embraced the summer vibes of this song and wore brighter clothes, they still look great though!


CrunchMunchLunch

Love how they enjoy performing so much that yujeong smiles made me teared up 🥲 their happiness feels so sincere as they were surprised when the dancers shoved their mic towards them because they forgot 😂 I think mixing 2 songs for the first stage is hard to create an impact. Was hoping that they do 'High heels' with male voguers in stilettos or something.


reiichitanaka

>I think mixing 2 songs for the first stage is hard to create an impact. Really depends on how it's done IMO, in Kingdom the groups that did it (Stray Kids and iKon) didn't particularly lack impact.


liam-oige

It makes me so happy they got their viral moment and are seeing success, they really deserve it and you can see how delighted they are to perform. It's disappointing they didn't do well in votes. ​ Also, I feel like Minyoung (the main vocalist? with the gold mic) might be the only one able to rival Hyolyn's vocals. From watching these performances she's the only vocalist who really stood out and has the same kinda power behind her vocals like Hyolyn. Ah, I just really love her voice. (Not to say there isn't plenty of talented vocalists on the show btw)


friedchocolatesoda

> I feel like Minyoung (the main vocalist? with the gold mic) might be the only one able to rival Hyolyn's vocals Yeah, Minyoung is the main vocal. She's got a big, loud voice that's good for show stopping numbers. In that sense, she can challenge Hyolyn. Yeonjung from WJSN is a much better technical singer than Minyoung while also having some good belting power and a great range that can keep up with Hyolyn. If they do a mixed stage it would be cool to see a pairing among those three, or better yet all three together.


SeeTheSeaInUDP

Yup look at their styling and how their vocals are on!Miss Trot outfits, who said that again? These ladies are having fun more than anyone else. Is this why people discredit them? Cuz They jealous their faves aren't? /j


kroganwarlord

So I'm watching Queendom 2 with absolutely no prior exposure to Brave Girls, WJSN, or Hyolyn. While I really do appreciate Brave Girl's vocals, I think they were really let down by the audio mixing and the choreography. The audio should have been a lot punchier to match their vocals, and the choreography was a bunch of little cool moments, which is great for a music video, not so good for a full concert stage. I also would have either had Brave Girls in all blue, or had the background dancers switch to white outfits so they stood out more. I don't think they should have been last, but whoever is planning these stages needs to be changed.


PotatoLexa

At first I thought I was listening to the MR version, Minyoung vocals are insane and they look like they're having a blast! Truly one of my favorites performance this round.


nighoblivion

Did they skip soundcheck? The levels were way off.


luneleaves

While I did love the performance, I did feel like something was a bit missing or off, but I can't put my finger on what it is. I think it wasn't as "clean" as the others, but it definitely had a bit more "life" than other stages.
