I was wondering if Jang Ri In will also sing Y on TV? hahaha after she sings Timeless, or will she just stop after she sings Timeless and go to record her album/single.

[ANJEE<3]

so... is her korean fluent?? or did they just teach her enough so that she can sing those songs

[ANYOTHERDAY]

She did MUCH better in this performance.
But i'm noticing, she still pretty stiff throughout the whole performance, and it just gives me the feeling shes not putting all her emotions into the song.
She did good nontheless.

same replay with timeless jang ri in forum:

I must say that her performancing is pretty good today. I can see the improvement in her voice and i know like what people say that she will improve once she is used to performing huge crowds.

I have a lot of confidence in jang ri in which i'm not sure why, but i know that she will get better and better along the way.

I'm glad that she sang a ballad song because it shows that even though she was nervous, she had to fight that off and being able to handle the crowd.

Jang ri in fighting!! <3

[fairylight]

What I must say ^^

This perf... not as good as i think, but this is her debut perf, n' she sing live ^^ i luv it

I still luv her :x can't wait for next perf ^^ she'll better.

[diana�]

I'm already a big fan of her! I'm loving her voice! It's gorgeous.

I was surprised that a Jang Ri In thread is already THIS big!

Mmmm... I saw the performance and it wasn't as good as I expected. *winces* But she'll do better next time! With talent like hers, she would have improved drastically in time for her next perf.

Sun Min vs. Jang Ri-in, 1st round of comparisons





SM's Jang Ri-in and EMG's Sun Min are in their 1st round of showdown.

Sun Min had her debut performance with Shin Hye Sung last week in SBS Ingigayo while Jang Ri-in had her debut performance with Xiah Junsu in MBC's music show last September 9.

SM Entertainment and EMG Entertainment have groomed these female singers as next generation stars of Asia. They are originally from China and Japan, respectively, and were trained to conquer Asia. In addition, they were both opened to the public with 2 popular boyband members, Shin Hye Sung of Shinhwa and Xiah Junsu of TVXQ!.

Netizens are already comparing Jang Ri-in's performance last September 9 with Sun Min's. Confrontations of fans online are getting hotter.

The Japanese movie in which Sun Min's song was used grossed 20,000,000,000 won. Her single which was released last July 5 and ranked 20 in the Orikon charts for 2 weeks.

Her single "Sun Min thanx Hye Sung" was released on August 31 and on August 27, she had her debut performance of "Keep Holding U" with Shin Hye Sung in SBS Ingigayo.

Jang Ri-in with TVXQ!'s Xiah Junsu sang a song entitled "Timeless", which was released for free download on August 31. On September 4, just 5 days after its release, the song already recorded 870,000 downloads. Jang Ri-in and Xiah Junsu had their first performance in MBC's music show last September 9.

Sun Min and Jang Ri-in are attracting attention because of their many similarities.

Both are young females. Sun Min is 19 years old while Jang Ri-in is only 16 years old. Their title tracks are both considered R&B tracks. Also, they are originally from overseas, particularly from Japan and China, who were molded to become stars of Asia.

In addition, they debuted with two members of popular groups Shinhwa and TVXQ!. Sun Min is paired with Shinhwa's Hye Sung and Jang Ri-in is paired with TVXQ!'s Xiah Junsu. The groups these male singers are from have big fan bases and will surely show support to them.

Moreover, SM and EMG can be said to be in a competition. Shinhwa, after ending their exclusive contract with SM Entertainment, transferred to Good Entertainment (Good EMG Entertainment).

These two singers competition will surely be interesting.

I was thinking about the same thing about JRI and SUN MIN. Never would i thought it would become like this, i kinda liked JRI voice but i haven't watch sun min perf yet.

[dbsk_angel]

was this posted already, if it was sorry.

I capped these from the SBS perf, waahhh she's really pretty~ I really like her, and she's doing well so far for a new artist~

<3333

[Ella_Kwan]

See, i knew she just need sometime to ajust to the stage & the fans. But it was all that from what i expected... but i guess you cant just change over night. When she first started to sing she was still shakie & that annoyed me like crazy, but then by the end it picked by ALOT!!!!

I JUST CAN'T WAIT UNTILL HER PERFORMING STARTS TO BE FLAWLESS LIKE HER RECORDINGS!!

BTW, DOES ANY1 KNOW WHERE I CAN HEAR "Y", PLEASE???????? THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[theskinnygirl]

I watched her 2nd performance, and this is my opinion of it.... sorry if I sound pestimistic. I don't want to give out positive comments when I obviously have more criticism... not that I have anything against her as a person.

Okay, here goes.

Her 2nd performance was DEFINITELY better than the first. I don't detect that much nervousness or off keys, which is a good thing. She's starting to get adjusted to the stage.

However, am I the only one who has a problem with her singing? The way she stretches her voice is quite annoying and it doesn't sound very pleasant. While she brought out those long range notes, I noticed that her voice goes up and down repeatedly... and it doesn't flow smoothly.

Also, at the end, she seemed more like she's screaming than singing. I know that the ending parts are suppose to be dramatic and what not, but I think she's over sang the ending. lol.

One more thing. I don't think that JunSu and Jang Ri In's voice flows well with each other AT ALL during their two live performances. It seriously sounds like when you're playing two songs at one time, doesn't sound nice... and this isn't a problem on JunSu's part. He's obviously trying hard to blend in his voice with Jang Ri In.. however, Jang Ri In's singing makes it kind of hard to, you know? Damn. Now I sound like I'm putting all the blame on Jang Ri In, but that's honestly what I think while I was watching the performances.

This is just my opinion. There's gotta be praises and criticism, right?
Hm... I don't quite like her singing just yet, but I'll check back on her later.

[plumeria]

She has a pretty nice voice, similar to BoA's. I love her single "Timeless". Still can't believe she's 16 years old, she looks older than BoA, heheh. Anyways, I'm looking forward to her future music.

[joonhyung]

she did much better on the second perf, but i could tell she was still nervous because of her lack of emotion and her stiffness lol

she's getting better and better....but i have a question..do you think junsu and her are going to always sing together when doing this song?

[xkrnbebe]

her inkigayo performance was better than music core.. her voice wasn't as shaky =) i think it's silly how the fans would get mad if junsu and ri in would look at each other during the song.. i mean if you're doing a duet you need to look at each other especially since this is a love song and it needs to show emotion and stuff.. but whatever.. can't wait to see more performances from her ^^

[dreamweaver]

i just finished watching today's inkigayo perf. and she did much better. sounds like she was less nervous even though the ending was a bit off. she's singing with more confidence already and i know she'll get better with more experience. junsu sounded awesome as usual. it's funny how the camera always pans towards him instead of li yin. and i'm glad that the fans were quieter this time. i actually got to hear them sing.

definitely looking forward to their music core and inkigayo perf's next week. i think if li yin just takes a deep breath and knock off those jitters, she can really let her voice soar.

is her song Y (why...) an original piece or a remake? somehow the melody reminds me of an english song, but i can't quite put my finger on it. i wonder if she'll perform this song right away after the perf's with junsu are done considering junsu probably can't free up too much more time to duet with her.

[elavndrc]

If you listen, listen CLOSELY, her live voice sounds the same as her recorded voice. She doesn't sound TOTALLY DIFFERENT as people have been saying. Of course cracks will make the song sound different, but think about it. During recordings, a singer cannot make mistakes because there are singing coaches there perfecting every bit of the song.

Yea, you can't defend a poor performance by saying "its her first time on stage" (even though I too am guilty of saying that), because there have been many people who did very well during their first live performance. BUT----people react in different ways.

Who knows why she wasn't at her best. She could have been nervous, the audience's screaming could have thrown her off, etc, etc, etc... But LSM wouldn't have made her go on stage live if he knew/thought she wasn't ready.

Everyone needs to just give her a chance to improve because she's so young, and I'm sure she hasn't already reached her full potential.

I definitely definitely agree 100% with you. Although I did try to defend her so-so performance...I feel that it did have some sort of impact on her. But at the same time...yes she probably was ready to go on stage but yes I'm sure she will improve once she's out there more because she obviously has talent. For someone to sing a type of song like timeless...and be able to sing with xiah...she's got to have some talent cuz no everyone can p ull of a recording of this song...

And yes you were right about her sounding like the recording..you can easily tell it's her voice so yes Jang Ri In **Hwaiting!


EDIT://well right now I'm watching her second performance and I'm not even halfway done but it's obviously much better than her first - like everyone else has been saying but her voice is not as shaky...although it is still a bit shaky - she seems more confident...and she definitely improved on her performance since last night. Her voice is now steady when she has those higher notes...not like yesterday where they went all over the place...and of course xiah is always good haha. EDIT///oh yea another addition lol....what happened to the quick edit? but anyways...her timing was off yesterday too and she's quickened up the pace in the area where she was slow yesterday

[cam3n]

Can someone pls PM me the "y" song? thank youu

I love her single "Timeless".. great vocal.. her voice is amazing
I hope she'll do great in the next shows

[xsilentangel]
