---------------------------- No Karin! No S/mileage finalists! Looks like Tsunku is the same troll as always!! xD What do you guys think of the finalists? Any favorites?
I'm glad there's a lot of them, but the main problem I'm sensing is a lack of an Ai replacement vocally. First girl sounded capable for her age though.
Maybe that last girl could be whipped into good shape if I'm not mishearing. The fact that I got an instant Megumi Murakami vibe off of her once I saw her, and then her name actually being Murakami, may have something to do with me thinking that though.
#2 and #10 caught my attention. Will look out for them. Kinda upset though.. I really wanted Jang Dayeon to be a part of 10th gen. that's why I wasn't sad when she didn't get into s/mileage. I just have this feeling she would do well in MM unlike Jun Jun and Lin Lin who were shafted .
i like haruka (the first one). she seems that she has a lot of potential. and sara is a show stealer but give her vocal training and she could be a diamond in the rough.
Hey, just because we don't see Karin doesn't mean she still can't be picked. Just look at Fuku-hime. They told her she didn't pass to become a finalist and they still chose her anyway.
If I don't see her on the stage when the winners are announced, then I will side eye UFA. Until then, keepin' hoep alibe.
Lovin' Haruka and Mishida (sp?). They sang the best imo. Fuuka is okay as well. She has an okay voice, but her dancing seems good.
