I just can't believe SNSD was on my television screens two times over a 12-hour period...are they really sure competitive with our American singers...?

^ A lot of people think that "The Boys" is one of the worst SNSD songs ever!

It's also not my favourite one, but I kind of like it and I think it was received well by the American audience!

^ Yeah, "The Boys" is okay but nothing too great. I'd like an English version of "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" for American audiences!

I think this might help for new fans to recognize the girls more ICWYDT

I'll definitely listen to them! I think I'll also download all of their past albums (I only have "The Boys" and their first Japanese album!) to make sure that I don't miss any songs!

This is SUPER useful!

I think I'm already quite good in telling the girls apart, but sometimes I still have trouble, especially with Yuri and Yoona!


Thank you for making this, terra!

I was actually shocked when they started singing during their live performances and it was actually their voices.

Because all of their other English performances have been COMPLETELY lip synced. I was beginning to think they just didn't have enough of a grasp on the English language to do it, but they actually got it down.

AND

Did anyone else notice Seohyun singing along with Taeyeon during her "MY HEEEAAARRRTTT!" part during the bridge in both performances? That was my first time seeing Seohyun sing that part as well. I don't know if it was just to help out during the American performances or if she has been doing it all along. I've never noticed it in their other performances before.

AND

I think I realized why some had head sets and others had microphones. They probably didn't have enough of just one thing for all of the girls. When is the last time America has had a singing group that large? Has America ever had a singing group that large?

@CoriKaru: Sorry, but do you really have to make such a big deal out of it?

I told you I'm a new fan. I'm sure it also took a lot of other people a while to figure out who is who!

^^ Aw that sucks .. I agree the DVD they released for their Japanese debut would be a good choice if you only want the MVs

The thing with the microphone isn't because they didn't have enough of them, most Kpop groups do the same thing. Only the main vocalists and the rappers hold mics instead of wearing headsets. Check out a Brown Eyed Girls or f(x) performance and you'll notice it there too

And it's normal for new fans not to recognize The Triplets (Yoona, Yuri, and Seohyun) so it's fine Midori .. I've been a fan since Gee, but I couldn't tell them apart perfectly until Oh! came out XD
Here are some pointers for telling them apart: Yuri has darker skin, and Seohyun has chubbier cheeks and a round face. After you tell them apart you'll see Yoona

I really hope that American/Canadian audiences get into it because that would be sooooo cool!

Btw, I didn't care for the song at all either. BUT their cool style, dancing and vocals were great and here I am a day later listening to their songs on replay even though when the Letterman song started I was like at first too heh. I think a lot of people will react like that and get curious about them And of course it's the kind of song that might appeal in the US.
