Now I'm a big B2ST fan, and I think they definitely should have won something, probably best song overall tbh, but Fiction wasn't a particularly dancey song if you know what I mean, it was a bit of foot shuffling for the most part. Based on the nominations, I don't think you can really look anywhere other than Infinite or TVXQ, the others just weren't very dancey lol. And I won't even talk about artist of the year lol, SNSD winning after their worst ever promotion? K brah. the winners are based on number of votes, right? | ||

Jang Jae In definitely gave Baek Ji Young a run for her money, there is a crazy amount of soulfulness in that voice of hers. - ![[image loading]](http://i.imgur.com/10sOu.gif) Cass looks like real tasty beer. | ||

I like Bom + Minzy's voices a lot, but best vocals is LOL. But A Pink, Beast hwaiting ~ I am happiest about those. Didn't expect my favorite LOLY POLY to win anything, but it doesn't matter because they will always win in my <3lol park bom has amazing voice what are you talking about  | ||

Admittedly the songs where they do sing they're better than most idol groups, but there's no way you can possibly say that they sing better than 2am or Davichi, whose whole concepts are that they're ballad groups. Their entire reason for existence is that they sing well. edit- @NB you are aware that English is an official language of Singapore and that it's either the first or second language of 80% of the people there, right? Stop making assumptions. They won best group vocal performance, not best singers. If the award is supposed to be given to who sings the best, then 2NE1 shouldn't win, but the title of the award was best group vocals. Vocals isn't just singing. If it was just for best singer you are excluding all rappers/rapping, meaning something like Sistar19 shouldn't even be nominated because their 'group' performance only includes only one person singing, and Bora rapping. | ||

Seems like one of those political-type "They couldn't possibly win in the category they should have won in, so we'll throw them a bone". edit- On November 30 2011 01:35 Lonyo wrote: They won best group vocal performance, not best singers.

If it was just for best singer you are excluding all rappers/rapping, meaning something like Sistar19 shouldn't even be nominated because their 'group' performance only includes only one person singing, and Bora rapping. EIther way you can't argue that even with rapping/autotune (lol) the vocal talents of 2NE1 is ANYWHERE close to Davichi or 2AM, pure talent wise. Sure there's rapping, but I wouldn't consider it to be amazing rapping. They don't write their own lyrics, which I consider to be a major facet of rapping, and the actual delivery isn't anything above average either. Compare that to the voices of those two groups and there's no way in my mind that they should win that award. I could see performance or dance or some bullshit like that, but they are nowhere close to the best vocal group. double edit- the example you brought up is I am the best vs Lonely vs Don't Cry. From autotune to singing to something in between. Breaking it down- autotune=no talent required, I could autotune a song as well as 2ne1. Singing- above average for an average/dance idol group, but we can all agree not close to a dedicated ballad group. Don't Cry- again, better than average for the category but not as good as other songs of the same type, and not really exceptional. So really, yes 2ne1 has different musical "styles", but quantity isn't greater than quality and they aren't exceptional at any of them. yayaya Jiyeons, for Japan version. Still hate the song, but the concept looks ok on most of them. ![[image loading]](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvf0qrXnHC1qe65h9o1_500.jpg) and dat soyeon~ ![[image loading]](http://29.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_lvf0x0M50w1qe65h9o1_500.jpg?.jpg) | ||
