Sunny doing quite well with some old pop tunes and Miss A

Yours for a song?

Is this a game show where the contestants get scored on how well they remember the words to a popular song? There was a show like that in the early TV days in America called "Yours For A Song," except it was much easier: the show gave the contestant most of the words and s/he only had to fill in the blanks — though maybe the contestants had to show knowledge of a wider range of the popular songbook. (I, age 7, didn't know most of the songs.)

Anyway, knowing your rivals' songs word-for-word makes one look very good. Even if Sunny is a bit worse at singing in tune live than Ashlee or Taylor is. (It seems that, like those two, Sunny can sing in tune but you can't always count on her to.) Still think she achieves Oprah- or Obama-wide popularity and authority if she wants it and if the pieces fall right for her. Hope she's got good ideas about society.

I have a theory that because Sunny hasn't been as prominently featured on vocals and thus forced to hit exact notes in performances, she hasn't maintained her vocal control. It doesn't help that she was hit with a cutesy image right out of the gate, and then becoming more known for her variety show skills. Even her solos in the SNSD concerts, Bobby Hebb's "Sunny" and Britney's "Three," aren't exactly songs known for their vocal demands.

Hope she's got good ideas about society.
The girl is way too good at deflecting to ever say anything concrete about her ideas.

No one really seems to stay in tune on this show. Sunny prefers to stay in the higher registers. I think the lyrics show somewhere, but you have to sing the song absolutely correctly, and if you get enough songs right your team wins. Or something. I doubt it's that important. Here SNSD won, the following episode, with IU's Good Day

Okay, so it's not quite so amazing.
