mte =(. I'm in Girls' Generation now and I'm %100 sure that I'm listening to the CD version. I guess we'll have to wait for the dvd for actual lives :grumpy

these are all the ones I'm pretty sure aren't live.
소원을 말해봐 (Genie) (Rock Tronic Remix ver.)
Show! Show! Show!
소녀시대 (Girls' Generation)
Beginning
Chocolate Love

I hear differences in their voices from the original songs for the other ones.
Into the new world sounded really awesome.

^ Yeah I'm in Oh La La now and I was like =DDDDD when It's Fantastic started playing .. loving the Oh La La and Etude remixes btw :luv2
I'm glad it's just the first few tracks and Chocolate Love ~

I also love what they did with "Honey". it seemed more like an acoustic version or something.. it's really nice!

could it be they lip-synced those songs? :shrug

EDIT: Hmm I'm listening to Genie, and I'm more convinced it's a lip-sync not a studio-recording put on as a pass-off to a live cos imo.. the verses are studio-version sound, but some parts of the choruses, like Yonna & Sooyoung's "solos" sound more prominent here than on the CD-recordings I've heard.

I could be wrong, but whatever.. that remix of Genie is hot lol

^ I thought of that too, but no one mentioned that until they did the concert in Taiwan :shrug. I don't mind if they did lip-sync at the beginning to save their voices for the other songs :yes

I'm not even surprised they did it... It used to be taboo for me but God anyone tried dancing & singing to something like Genie before? IT'S HARD! :laugh

lmao i love the Beautiful Girls song :roflmao tipany~ yuuuri~ taeyeoon~ XDD who is singing this??

well, if you see SM artist concerts, first songs are ALWAYS lip-synched :yes so im not surprised :laugh
whatever, i know the girls can sing, and if to give a better show they need to lip-synch, i'm not gonna make a big deal about it ._.

I know!! xD I wasn't trying to make a big deal.. just trying to give my opinion on why some songs sound like studio-recordings. The ballads in the live album are amazing, like flawless so that is more than enough proof of the girls' singing abilities :yes

^oh yeah, i know :laugh it wasn't to you nor anyone from this thread!! i know all people here are cool enough to accept it

^ ;D

Looks like I'll be repeating the ballads & the solos like crazy... :heart

I just finished CD1 and I'm so very satisfied with it :heart .. The older songs and the solos were amazing =)
And One Year Later of couurse XD !! Onew's voice was extra awesome in it <3

^totally agree with the onew part:heart
btw, am i the only one addicted to Santa Baby? :laugh

you know it could also be that they just put the studio version cuz the chants were so loud? im not saying that it really is so, but i know that thats what happend to dbsk's concert :P

I preordered the live album from a seller on eBay a couple of days ago and it shipped today! I hope it arrives soon, I can't wait to hear it since it seems like everyone is enjoying it already! Still waiting on my Hoot Deluxe edition to arrive from YA, I want to see the performances soooo bad!

THE WOOOOOOOOOOOOOON
THE BEST SONG OF THE YEAR ON TODAY'S GAYO!!

CONGRATS GUUUURLSSS

so out of all the solo songs which ones are your favorites? I love Sixteen going on Seventeen, Sunny, Umbrella, Hush Hush, Santa Baby (lol at the way she says convertable, so cute). I even like Barbie Girl! (Jessica's voice is kind of annoying but it fits this song perfectly) lol Yuri's accent was a bit too thick for 1, 2, step and I didn't like Yoona's song choice.

wait..it's already been released? I just preordered the CD's last week..

apologies if I'm real slow now.

I've only heard Sunny, Umbrella and Hush Hush (Who performs this one??)... but they are awesome!! ^_^ Their English is so nice~!
