So true .

She def looks like a Kpop star as well!

Yeah she doesn't only shine in this competition but would shine among debuted artists. She also has the look that I think a lot of brands would love for commercials and social media. If she isn't huge in 2 years someone has majorly f:d up.

Frrr, She has improved a lot!

She is my Mako this edition. She really is the crème de la crème.

She is already experienced so I don’t find it surprising.

그녀는 "난 연습생 출신이야 1등해야해"라는 압박감이 있는것 같다

it’s also because of her young age too … even though Kaylee about same age, Kaylee just has that stage presence , as well as Kendall …. I think give her more time she’ll get it .. but hopefully within 3 months , but that’s asking alot unfortunately

Eso es lo que no me gusta, no quiero pensar que sea un obstaculo para ella pero la siento tan poco autentica que automaticamente ya no siento entuciasmo por apoyarla.

JYP is so biased and unfair. Gina is always be criticized because her expectation bar is so much higher than everyone else. Sorry but Cristina they set the bar so low for her. Is it because she is black?

@@ScotchOnyx I thought I was the only one! Even my brother in law (black) thinks she sbottom 2 or 3 , okay dancer but worst singer next to Yuna … atleast we think Yuna has a much better vocal tone … All Cristina does is “Sing-Talk” her songs

It's JYP's basic philosophy. Compete with yourself. Improving your skills is about elevating yourself, not putting others down. This is the characteristic of JYP singers... On average, they have no weaknesses, although there may be some disappointing aspects in all areas. Does they seem like an all-rounder?

Comes from the fact theyre not competing with each other for a spot

Finally someone also noticed

We love KG Crown 🙂💓💓 The essence of K-pop is that singing, appearance, stardom, and conveying emotions come first. Dancing is not first. Do you understand? 🤔 K-pop does not prioritize dancers who are good at dancing. We first select talent with singing, looks, star quality, and ability to convey emotions, and they teach dancing as a secondary skill. In K-pop, they don't recruit dancers who are good at dancing in South Korean entertainment company!! 😡 Please Don’t insult Lovely KG Crown 😡 She is currently a young 15-year-old teenage girl. Don't gossip about her past hairstyles. A few years ago, at that young elementary school age, decorating was free. Do you understand? I and many South Koreans and foreigners, Global people love and support Lovely KG Crown 💓💓💓💓💓💓🙂 우리는 kg를 사랑 해요. 💓💓🙂 K-pop 본질은 노래와 외모, 스타성, 감정 전달성이 우선이다. 춤은 우선이 아니다. 🤔 K - pop은 춤 잘추는 댄서를 우선적으로 뽑지 않는다. 노래, 외모, 스타성, 감정 전달성이 되는 인재를 우선 선택해서 춤은 부차적으로 가르친다. 케이팝에서는 춤을 잘추는 댄서를 모집하는게 아니다. 😡 그녀는 어린 15살 10대 소녀이다. 그녀의 과거의 헤어 스타일에 관해 험담 하지마. 몇년전에 그 어린 초등학생 나이에 꾸미는 것은 자유이다. 그녀를 욕하지 마라. 나와 많은 한국인들, 외국인들은 KG를 사랑하고 응원합니다. 💓💓💓💓💓🙂 私たちはkgが大好きです。 K-pop本質は歌とルックス、スター性、感情伝達性が優先だ。 ダンスは二度目だ。 K-popはダンスをうまく踊るダンサーを優先的に選ばない。 歌、ルックス、スター性、感情伝達性となる人材をまず選んでダンスは二次的に教える。 K-POPではダンスを上手くするダンサーを募集するのではない。 彼女は若い15歳の10代の少女だ。 彼女の過去の髪型について厄介ではありません。 数年前にその小さな小学生の年齢に飾るのは自由だ。 彼女を貪らないでください。 私と多くの韓国人、外国人はKGを愛して応援しています。

@@johnnysphatassthat is worrisome because that isn’t something a person can change overnight. It’s not looking good for her to the final count down.

I was so worried

She’s too young

Also she was a trainee, being one really does take away the emotion of a person because you are judged on your technique/skill above all else. She still in that mindset so I thought JYP would be more understanding that Gina is young and has molded into having that mindset because of being a trainee. He should actively do more to help her lose this mindset as it's not easy to unlearn what you've been trained to learn over 1 year or so. I'm sure before being a trainee she may have not had this mindset.

RIGHT she looked so cool

She stole the show for me this episode easily

Yess

For real! I love Camila!

Yes! Even in the clips from Dream Academy, they don't feel like a group, even in the team missions. It feels like 5 soloists trying to outcompete each other. Lol. The tension was palpable. I was really excited about dream academy but now im just attached to the a2k girls.

Telling the contestants that made it to LA that there was no preset limit to the group size and that they could help each other get better started the building of a real team. Certainly not everyone would go through, but everyone could have gone through if they'd demonstrated the development that JYP and his staff were looking for. In the end, we all got a group that is better than you'd have a right to expect given where each member started.

agreed!

OMG YESS

Camila lacks nothing, she can sing, dance, rap, writes her own rap, takes care of the other girls and made sure that they feel enough and validated, she has the leadership skills, and yet she's very humble at the same time. Jyp is sooo lucky to have her, like what else can't she do?

​@@carloscjabletes1103yess

Camila is all rounder😊

Yes, Camilla is perfect. A comparison with Jihyo is good -- as is a comparison with Yujin of Ive (maybe even better). And Camilla is so beautiful.

Camilla's like jihyo

@@FlameOnTheBeat respectfully, you don't have to compare her to others. she's her own person

I thought she was Defender Personality. I was right. Some extracts from Defenders personality is. The Highest of Standards For Defenders, “good enough” is rarely good enough. People with this personality type can be meticulous to the point of perfectionism. They take their responsibilities personally, consistently going above and beyond and doing everything that they can to exceed others’ expectations. Defenders are true altruists, meeting kindness with kindness-in-excess and engaging with the work and people they believe in with enthusiasm and generosity.

Yeah, I think Kaylee, Kendall, Gina and her are rock solid. We'll see how the others progress, but Camilla is for sure a star.

fr but she didnt audition so thats really sad

And she’s funny and supportive of the other girls. I love her reactions. She has that idol character.

Yesss!!! On top of this, I like that Cristina took the time to learn the Korean words/meaning and sing the lyrics in the original Korean.I think Kendall is the only other non-Korean contestant who did this, so props for the additional challenge in the language department.

she is not ridiculously talented she cant even sing 💀

Honestly Cristina will be great for the groups moral in tough times. And would also do excellent in interviews and variety sections. She really is an asset.

I think she would be the top comedian members of the group lol

Maybe you are right, but there is always something to improve... I don't think we are able to say if it is necessary or not, just because it is heard well does not mean that it does not need practice.

thank you for your comments I think she's underestimated I love her so much she's already my bias

She's good for sure but imo compared to other voices on a2k hers sounds so hollow, like there needs to be a more full voice in general, she does good on stability but it's her delivery that falls short for me, overall good talent genuinely think she needs more control of that strength in vocals

I was thinking the same 😅

Camila gives me Jihyo's vibe Cristina gives me Jeongyeon's vibe Kendall's vibe seems like Mina

what is wrong with you@@mrkhoros why are you under every mention of camila saying bullshit?

And she also looks so good

@@mrkhoros I'm going to be neutral here, we know in the video Camila said her voice was in bad condition, since Not using a hand mic, they use autotune, that's why you hear the voice is run smoothly on the record, this show is recorded, if we listen to the raw version of the recording, I'm sure we will hear breathing, and some voice instability and obviously we will not hear the sound as clean as in this video.

@@mrkhoros bih get a life

I think she belongs more in a singer songwriter realm than kpop. Not doing a song that she could also dance to felt like a cop out especially since dancing is such a big part of kpop

Totally. You can go on a K-pop stage with a guitar and a chair. K-pop is about visuals, dance, and entertainment. I can't believe JYP doesn't see that.

​@@TheAwesomesauce43 since when is JYP about doing what’s already been done? the whole reason he sought out new talent like KG is to bring kpop in a different direction. he has a vision for where kpop will go and as much as dancing is important to him, he clearly sees KG inside his vision or she wouldn’t be in Korea in the first place!

She country 💀💀

@@coco1557 howdy

it's her eyes i think... they're round and you can see the whites around her iris lol. gives a deer in headlights look.

I mean the music was like so upbeat

Kaylee needs to give her lessons on expression

As a dancer, this is definitely much harder than it looks. Especially if you're used to dancing like that and you're a reserved person, it's very hard and takes a lot of practice

Momo received similar comments during Sixteen

She is still very young and maybe used to repress emotions

Gina is not 13 😅

@@kelvie_w3315 yes she is. (or rather was because this was in late April so she's 14 now)

This is exactly what I was thinking she’s good and it’s kind of what I expected from her. I wanted to see her growth in K-pop, and I feel like she is becoming like Melissa in the sense of being viewed as a soloist. I feel like the longer she puts off singing in Korean and dancing the harder it’s going to be to assimilate and learn (assuming it’s been a month already from the last episode). When we seen the Japanese version of the show by this time, all the girls were expected and we’re singing in Korean, even though their native language was Japanese. I also feel like when she sings country, she gets the twang back that JYP was talking about in the beginning of the series.

Well they do need someone that is more american pop on the group. This show is not trying to create another Kpop with American Girls, if that were the case, Gina would be number 1. In kpop they strive for perfection. This is different.

No cuz literally!! I agree 100. love kg and ik she can go far

I’ve been Getting those vibes from her since her first debut on the show she has so much potential but I’m not sensing the K-pop vibe or group vibe from her she seems like a soloist imo

Good point, she gives me Taylor vibes too. I think she’s better off solo as well.

I’m hoping that she makes it too

SPOILER She gets the stone lmao

Relax, JYP is just pushing her bcuz she has super high potential

Say it louder for the people in the back!

Spoiler She did you can see it

Exactly! so far If I have to be honest, she's one of the contestants that makes me want to keep watching this show, don't know why she always impresses me every episode, she's not a boring contestant like KG, i mean Camila's personality is very dynamic, she's perfect to be part of a girl group

Yes. Camilla #1. Kendall #2. Camilla #1 because she is more of a K-pop all-arounder than Kendall, who I think is more specialized (though what Kendall can bring to the stage is unmatched even by Camilla).

@@YlviPlayzit’s more reverb than pitch correction or auto tune as if they’re truly singing in an empty hallway with echo than a closed studio with soundproofing

​​​​@@YlviPlayzSince they're not NMIXX & BabyMonster, maybe the Production team wanted the vocals of the A2K Contestants to look a little better *on the record*, OR..Since this is a recorded show maybe they did it on purpose to drown out the noise ( for example Breath sounds, mic clapped etc and other random sounds in the room, plus they want it to voices run kinda smoothly, so need help with that just like you wanna hear auto tune or not on MR you hear no other sound except the original voice

​​@@aescorezpitch correction, that's almost the same equipment with Autotune lol, but there's nothing wrong with Autotune, unless it's not too much or heavy than it's okay, just enjoy it

I just like her personality, too. As well as the Latin appearance. She's so cute.

she has such an amazing voice and honestly i think she will 100% be a star in the future. but at the same time i dont think kpop is her where she will be making it. if we were still in the vocals-dominant era of 2nd gen i could see it happening, but not in the current era where dancing has taken priority. especially in jype which puts the most emphasis on dancing compared to almost any other company. all that said tho, i would absolutely love to be proven wrong and would love to see her excel in a2k as a main vocalist
