All right. Its really the last performance now.. feel a little wistful. The Seung Gi performances these few months were great while they lasted. Can't believe they are over so soon, it feels like yesterday when I got all excited in the middle of my social work lecture (yes, I was slacking and surfing the net, haha) to see his remake album on for pre order on yesasia. I remember I was SUPER happy when I first heard his title song in the album, I've loved the song I'll Give You All since like forever. Even though his MV for this song baffled me (like huh? why is LSG looking so sloppy), I still love his rendition of the song. It was softer, more wistful than the original, and he made full use of the vibrato I adore so much. The song really touched me. Next came You Inside My Memories, such a refreshing change from the original version which was much slower. Will always remember fondly the guerrilla concert which the 1N2D guys held, such an amazing atmosphere! LSG seemed to just look brighter and brighter, happier and happier when promoting the song too. After that summer vacation hit me in the face, and there was Let's go on a Vacation to get high on. I remember that fan video that bedifferent unnie posted before the digital single came out, with all the screaming fan girls in the background. That was exactly how I felt when I first heard the song, exhilarated! And there the boy was, all smiles and confident onstage, making the audience go delirious. And how can we forget the MV to this bonus track? I know some of you here were disappointed by the fact that the mv didn't show more footage of the other 5 guys in 1N2D, but I loved the MV despite this little imperfection. It was like watching a replay of the things that happened in the short span of a few months, how he has grown so much and gained so much popularity too. His huh-dang moments and the crazy jump in the sea moments, all those classic scenes on 1N2D. Its amazing how so much can happen in so little time!
I think the singing for this last performance beats the the 2706 one by miles. The energy was back, and he hit the notes well. And of course, we have his best buddy Mc Mong to make things even more fun
Circus wasn't as good as the YHDLL collaboration, but that's pretty much because the song is focused on the rapping parts, so it was hard to mesh things together. It was a cute collaboration though. Fun too. Love those stage props, and Mc Mong! But LSG's floppy hair didn't go well with his suit when he was singing I'll give you all. It made him look old. I miss that terrific haircut he had when he was doing promotions for Story of a Separation, haha. That was the BEST. The shirt he wore for the circus and vacation was ok, a little odd but cute. But what were those chains doing, dangling out of the pockets of his pants? Distracting~~~ Still, the boy is cute. Oh, and is it me or has the guy bulked up again? His upper body looked a little bulkier in that shirt...Its been a great summer. Let's hope it gets better! (esp when Iljimae comes out). Have a great weekend everyone!
He was a little awkward singing Circus though, but the looks he exchanged with Mong were too cute. The freindship just beamed from out of their ears. The more I watch MC Mong perform, the more I admire his voice. He really isn't given enough credit for his talent. He has great tone, great projection, actually a pretty decent voice, and the guy can rule the stage. So proud of them both. And yeah, I agree with you too Sarangaia, he does look more bulked up. How could I miss that? 
You coudln't tell in that dreary brown suit of his, but with the Tshirt you could see his bicpeps waving in the air. Not bad, not bad. Speaking of the suit, that was my favorite performance of Give You My All for me. I thought he sounded relaxed and strong. My favorite part of any artists promos are always at the end, cause by then they've mastered their song. When he first started promoting this, I was not too crazy about the more restrained, softer style of singing plus the over dramatized expressions. I really missed the oomph and power he used to bring. But as promos went on the song and style grew on me and I think finally he's found a bit of a mixed version of his old self and the new style. Longer and stronger vibratos, smoother voice and overall just more free and relaxed. I am soooooo going to miss him on stage. Especially since he's getting so good again. Like you said Sarangaia, Let's Go on Vacation was sort of the cumulation of it all. Watching him these few months, I feel this is his moment to shine. Who knows where his career will go. For sure I hope for the best, but who really knows. It's about time, place and luck. What are the chances you'll be on a hit show like 1n2d ever again? Or have a hit song and album? Or number rated drama? I wish our boy the best and I'm going to miss him like crazy until he comes back with new music, but I have faith he'll show us a new self again and bring us fangirls something to remind us exactly why we love him. 
.I don't like his outfit in performance "Let's go on a trip" this week and another outfit in Music Bank KyungGi international boat,too.Except the outfit is in the first performance of this song.What's happen with his stylish ?T.T
Anyways... Sugeun and him helped the Girls Generation (Tiffany)?? Was the words on champaign were real? I can`t be like this and have to wish him the best but honestly, i`m kind of jealous... 
Anyways, Music Bank did a fair job of editing the performance. Not quite impressed with the set but I couldn't have wished for a better good-bye. I LOVED the look MC Mong gave Seunggi at the end. It's part pride, part friendship, part happiness. It reminds me of the look LSH gave LSG in those early duets. That's why I grrr when they cut away from the hug. Bad bad editing there, Music Bank. Re: the performance, I like the way Music Bank sets up I'll Give It All to lead into the other songs. Like LSG's outfit, chains and all. Uhuhh, the guy has been working out. sarangaia, I find your comment regarding LSG in a suit quite interesting. Bad hair aside (yup, short hair with the next album please. Uhhh, while you're at it, Seunggi, may I suggest switching to a new stylist also?), this is the guy that we totally linked with the suit not so long ago. His image was defined by the suit for years. Yet, now, some of us may prefer him without it. Good for him for looking his age. That does not prevent the shallow fan-girl in me from spazzing out whenever he dons on a dark well-fitted suit. Uhhh, yeahhh.....back to the performance, right! LSG looked comfortable in Circus. Not totally at ease, but cute with his moves. Brushing aside a few miscues and hesitations, the duo was good together. I like Vacation. Solid vocal from LSG- MC Mong add-on rap gave it some funk. While YDH LL's appearance allowed them to bond, I thought the Music Bank performance was more about having fun. Some fans may prefer this high energy performance more. I personally vote for YDH LL. It's simply too sweet for words.

Am I the only one that thinks he looks kinda strange? The jacket is one size too small. What the heck? o51029, here are the smileys:
The orange polo and funky glasses were a no go for me too. i thnk my favorite part of his whole atttire this whol ep were his socks. Hee hee, cause I think he has cute feet. Ok, fashion aside, this was another fun, but long episode. Particular long for us non-speaking fangirls here. But the part where Seung Gi got scared like 5 or 6 times in a row was priceless. Simply priceless. I think I rewatched the first 2 like 3 or 4 times and then when I finally decided I could go on with the rest of the ep it happened again, and again, and again!! Ha ha ha. Poor Seung Gi, he probbly thought it would never end. Can't wait to find out what Kim C's story was about since Seung Gi got so freaked out by it. Still it was surprising anyone would get tricked like that over and over again and fall for it each time. I don't believe he was faking it either cause he was literally shaking with surprise. Oh dear boy, just when I thought you coudln't get anymore endearing. YOU do. Too awesome for words. Overall this trip had a lot of traveling and I could see it take a toll on them. Especially Mong, he looked beat. They all looked so miserable sleeping and trying to get comfortable. Seung Gi and his legs spread over the isle was really funny. Sucks to be tall sometimes. But did you guys notice how propper he looked even sleeping? Everyone else is like spread out all over the place with their heads and mouths hanging wide open, but not our Seung Gi. Even sleeping, he looks like a good little boy. Well, thats what he looks like to me anyways
