Xiah Junsu Taeyang 2008 Gayo Daejeon Awards

According to our poll, this was the most highly anticipated special stage battle of the night!

The Piano battle between TVXQ's Xiah Junsu and Big Bang's Taeyang went down on December 29th, 2008 at the 2008 SBS Gayo Daejeon Awards.

Taeyang performed "Don't wanna try" by Frankie J. And this wouldn't be a post about Big Bang if I didn't say, he really should stop trying. But I do have to admit, his English has gotten better. If this was the 2008 ESL Awards, he'd be the gold medalist.

Superior vocalist Xiah Junsu performed "My Everything" by 98 Degrees. Although his Engrish was cringe worthy and funny at the same time, his vocals clearly outshined Taeyang's.

You guys be the judge, who did better?

@ Arie: uhhhh Taeyang was ALSO playing piano while singing…just because there was more singing in Junsu’s song dosen mean that Taeyang was just playing piano and not singing…

OMFG XIAH JUNSU OWNS THIS ONE. <3

No matter how much I love Junsu, his ENGRISH makes me cringe. LMAO. BUT~ if the song were in Korean, Junsu would be in TOO MUCH of an advantage leaving none for Taeyang. Sorry , Taeyang. HAHA. But kudos to your English. smile

I don’t care who has better english accent.

For me feeling from the song that audiences can touch is more important.

Although this was a piano battle but you can point who is better.

They didn’t play the same song so his song can provide the different feeling.

I like Junsu’song more…his vocal give me every thing in the moment.

I listened to the rip of this song before watching the performance. And Junsu won IMO hands down. when I watched the video, I was disappointed that the camera didn’t zoom in on junsu’s hands, there was only one shot of him playing the keys =( when clearly he did play the piano. (btw, did anyone else hear JAEJOONG in the bg music?)

Taeyang has better english but.. music has no language right? I guess the camera man and Pd were focusing on each performer’s strength.

I didn’t even know junsu could play piano before this! <33

VERYYY IMPORTANT QUESTION!!!
the song that Junsu sing.. is it live???
how did he have back group singer if it only him and the piano?????...
DONT GET ME WRONG
i LOVEEEEEEEE JUNSU!!!
but i was just wondering…....

sing wise.. Junsu win because he chose a HIGH pitch song and it was good!!!

melody wise… Taeyang win because he pick a hard song to play

Pronunciation wise.. Taeyang win beause i can understand EVERY WORD!!!

THEY BOTH MELT MY HEART!! I LOVE BOTH OF THEM!!!!

Junsu’s singing was great but his English sucks ass!
It took me a minute or two to realize he was singing in English.
He should have sang a Korean song instead.
It was quite disturbing to listen to.

isn’t this a piano battle??? i think its more of a vocal one by the way you guys judge this whole thing..
i’ll choose tae yang because i think he’s great on the piano and he chose a harder song to play..though he did crack his voice..
obviously junsu was the winner.. if this is a vocal competition..

I’m a Big Bang fan but I have to admit that Junsu’s voice outshined Tae Yang’s by a lot.  Although Tae Yang had much better English.  LOL Esl award… that’s just too funny.  This was a beautiful performance from the both of them =D

Junsu played the piano really well, he didn’t even look at the piano whilst he was singing, and he closed his eyes !! He ISN’T a piano player so I think he did really well. Obviously Taeyangs Piano and English was better, but being honest, it wasn’t by much ! I couldn’t understand what he was saying in the first verse, and the chorus was litterally the same 3 words over and over again.

But Junsu sure as hell won this hands down, then again, like Taeyang even had a chance :S

I think people who are saying stuff like ‘Junsu’s ENGRISH was terrible etc’ should think about the fact that, Taeyang has English lessons every day (or something near to that) while Junsu has never had an english lesson in his life. Bear that in mind.

Over all, they are both good singers, but Junsu could sing in ANY language and melt peoples hearts. The boy is gifted.

hey why you say about Junsu like that.
Everyone knows his English is not so good.
For me I’m so glad to heard he sing in English.
Because that’s mean he has confident and try hard to perform that day.
If you are just a gossip mouth stop it!!!!!!
Dont hurt the other by your words.
Dont u try to think positive?

It is a piano battle, so TaeYang clearly won. He had the English, voice, and piano.

JunSu only had the voice~~~

JunSu and TaeYang…FIGHTING!
