4minute does Tell Me

4minute does Tell Me

It wasn't so long ago, well almost 2 years ago, where the Wonder Girls made a big splash with Tell Me in 2007 and the rest they say is history, as they are now making headlines all over America as guest performers for the Jonas Brothers concert tour until the end of the year.

Many wondered what might have been if Kim Hyun Ah had not left Wonder Girls before Tell Me due to health issues. Well, 2 years later, Hyun Ah is now fully recovered and back as part of Cube Entertainment's 5 member girl group, 4minute. We were given a taste of what might have been as Hyun Ah performed a shortened version of Tell Me with her fellow 4minute members on the 2nd July episode of MNET M! Countdown for the Countdown Heroes segment.

A breakdown of who's playing who.

Hyun Ah - Sun Mi & Yoo Bin
So Hyun - So Hee
Ga Yoon - Ye Eun
Ji Yoon - Sun Ye
Ji Hyun - Generic dancer

I wonder if Ji Hyun is really the leader because she doesn't sing at all unlike the other 4. Hyun Ah once again has the most parts, taking even the rapping part which I thought Ji Yoon or Ji Hyun might be doing. I don't care if they were lipsyncing or anything, as it was great to hear Tell Me again on Korean tv after so long and probably for a long while to come. I like the 3-shot Omona portion by So Hyun at 1:58.

I agree with 61 so much! The rest of it was good but christ, Hyun Ah needs to leave the spotlight, her voice is annoying!


You would think they would let the two people who can actually sing the most in the group freakin sing instead of ....>.<

lol srsly? tell me was made for wonder girls for a REASON.
even when snsd did it. it was just..weird.you can say all you want that WG cant sing but you cant deny they have stage presence
this was bad. (and rly bad since this is my first time seeing 4minute)
the crowd looks pretty stale..and bored >_>
HAHA
i loved the first few secs of the vid though the sohee and the people dont tell me XD;
i miss the girls in korea :(
and sohee is the only one that can nail the omona look :3
but yeeun did send hyunah a rly touching post on her site

both 4 minutes and WG are terrible live performers.

why are you even bother comparing the two, when both are bad and are fighting for 2nd last position?

don’t get me wrong i enjoy WG’s music, even though they are never top rated and top25 played on my ipod. it just their performance sucks, only thing that stand out is their image. nothing more.

Ji Yoon and Hyun Ah always stand out for me and the others just became back up dancer to me. The two girls always show charisma but I can’t stand Hyun Ah’s voice.

Hyunah sounds very horriblee so offense, her voice is like a chipmunk! xD i think she better raps and they could og give Hyunah part to JiHyun!

 
♥rein@♥'s avatar

it was ok….
not great just ok
i did love the 3shots of Omona
it was great lol
but Hyun Ah’s voice is starting to annoy me
like a lot
but the rest did pretty cool
but after watching this perf
it was really Wonder Girls that make this song what it is and the phenomenon it cause
cause any other girl group will have FAILD with this song

 
witch's avatar

yup it seems like a solo more than a group

 
xsydniee's avatar

omg… hyunah is so freakin ANNOYING. she needs to be a backup dancer or something. jihyun is the leader and she gets no lines wtf? i’d flip a bus if i were her LOL hyunah gets all this attention and she’s trying too hard to be cute or w/e. holy crap. im glad shes out of wonder girls.. sohyun made a good sohee though.

GaYoon or JiYoon should be leader, not JiHyun, she doesn’t seem like a leader. HyunAh’s voice…¬_¬

If they were each playing a part of the Wonder Girls, they should have had THOSE parts.

The only part I liked was HyunAh’s dance part because I know before she left, she was supposed to do it but it looked better then.

I have this theory that one day back in 2007, JYP had an epiphany to do a Korean version of “Dream Girls” ala Motown kind of songs and he needed a rapper with a soulful voice.


He realised Hyun Ah was not the right rapper for this kind of songs so he went on to find THE rapper in mind. And by twist of fate, Good Entertainment ran into financial troubles and had to release their trainees. JYP who happened to be on the prowl for a new rapper chanced upon Yoobin and discovered THE rapper he was looking for.


So he had to kick Hyun Ah out and the rest is history. ^^


I’m glad Hyun Ah is out of Wonder Girls. Otherwise, there wouldn’t have been “Nobody” with that kind of high-pitched voice.


As much as I love 4minute, Cube Entertainment seriously needs to drop the “Hyun Ah’s group” label and come to the realisation that she’s not the leader nor is she the one with the best vocals.

i like 4minute but come on hyunah, she’s giving the other group a headache. Sing using your true voice. Still love the other member So hyun, Ji yoon, Ga yoong and even Ji hyun ( face)

 
no avatar

hyuna kinda fit in with sunmi’s part but she should’ve gave the rapping parts to jiyoon. coz i think she can pull off that yoobin look.

At least we can be rest assured that Hyun Ah has already developed her own seperate style of rapping…

i hate hyunah’s voice. no offense. but i think~ too much aegyo and definitely…
TOO MUCH PART!!!

i was watching this earlier and i was like~ *puke*
GIVE ME BACK MY WG! they’ve ruined the song~ (sorry 4min fans. i have to say that after holding this inside my self for a LONG LONG time)

I don’t understand why Hyunah is singing like that -_- she sang better in WG than she does in 4minute.

snjeung's avatar

this is would it should have been:
Ga Yoon = Yeeun,
Jihyun = Sunmi,
Jiyoon = Yoobin,
Hyunah = Sunye,
SoHyun = SoHee

 
Mesmeress's avatar

Hyun Ah’s face sometimes scare me..I don’t know why..it’s something about her eyes….and I think they are trying too hard to be cute (while I think the WG are naturally cute when they perform). They did okay…but nothing special.

I love 4Minute and was anticipating Hyun Ah’s comeback for so long.
But this Tell Me cover…urggg
I didn’t even finish it, it was seriously hard to watch. I watched it for like a minute with my hand next to my mouth cuz my jaw was hanging…
And I think doing this was also painful for Hyun Ah herself T_T Why did they made her do it T_T
Hyun Ah/4Minute fighting~!!!

they SUCK…..wondergirls are so much better….they messed up so much on the dance and the leader cant sing…their hot issue song is better

 
no avatar

:/ at first i thought it was just because of the song “hot issue” that hyuna sounded so… annoying but i guess not >.> i really dont think she deserved two roles even if she was an ex-wonder girl.

 
mrskwonjiyong's avatar

they didn’t just kill it.
they butchered it and murdered it
and blahhhh.

 
marichan's avatar

SHE KILLED IT. THE FIRST ONE WHO SANNGGG. I FORGET HER NAMEE. BUT SHE KILLED IT!!!!!!!!! AND THE RAPPING SUCKED.

WG still are the queens or all wondergirlness. [hahah that made no sense]

I really like Ga Yoon and Ji Yoon. They have lovely voices. I agree with everyone else, I think they should tone down the attention placed on Hyun Ah. The other members should be given a chance to shine as well. Also, is it me or does Hyun Ah’s outfit really stick out, more so than the others? I really do hope they can make a name for themselves without the label of ‘ex-Wonder Girl’s Hyun Ah’s group’. I wish them all the best.
P.S. This perf was alright :] I wouldn’t say it was the worst ever but I’m pretty sure they can do better.

 
ehsna_wonder_fan's avatar

I’ve seen that Tell me with hyunah before.. and sorry to say, Hyunah was never a right fit with the wonder girls..

 
Mesmeress's avatar

I think they are shoving Hyun Ah out there because she performed before and was part of the WG for awhile…so some people know her and that might gear attention towards this group…but i think it’s really unfair for the other girls (since some of them has really nice voices)

Im kind of glad Hyun Ah ended up leaving WG. She used to be my fav WG too before she left smh but this high pitched voice is annoying. She didnt sound like that in WG.  I think the group is better without her. Yoobin rapped that part so much better. It does look like she is over exaggerating the dance moves haha. Anyway the performance was pretty good. LOL @ generic dancer XD

 
TaekLove101's avatar

ew ew ew ew ew ew ew…... her voice….  Hyun Ah, or w.e.. ew ew ew ew ew…. her voice, ew ew ew ew ew…. is it natural like that? ugh it’s annoying as hell. if she’s acting, she better stop. That’s all i have to say, the rest of them did well vocally. but give me my wonder girls! :D

i feel sorry for hyuna. she could have been treated much better if it weren’t for her health.
