I'm definitely not the only one who saw the headlines and went "well shit, this won't end well." The poor girl was the laughing stock of kpop the last time she tried to sing alone and live, and has pretty much been shitted on in every one of those "Top 10 [INSERT NEGATIVE TITLE]" lists. I clicked the play button apprehensively (and I'm really glad it wasn't some hotassmess autotuned dance track), and you know what, the song was fine.
So, good for Hara.
Aaaaaand the sanity stops.
Fan comments can essentially be divided into the following categories:
1. Oh it sounds ok! (<-me)
2. Holy Dante this is the 9th circle of Hell (usually posted with a troll username related to 2NE1)
3. Do you think singing, dancing, and shaking your ass at the same time is easy?!?! DO YOU!??! Can you sing better than her because I bet you SUCK! (classic DIC move: Dodge, Insult, Compare)
3. The best song ever, voice of a fucking GODDESS (<-you need new music)
4. JUNHYUNG OPPAR I HOPE YOU GAIZ LISTEN TO THIS IN BED (...stop)
Favorite comment hands down was "I wonder how much autotune has been used in the recording of this song..."
BWAHAHAHAHA if technology could fix Hara's voice, DSP would've done it decades ago if they could afford it. Plus this is an acoustic version dumbtwit.
