The Truth to B.I’s Show Me The Money Stages

"First, I just got back from attending the show.  I’ve just now seen the broadcasted version and I’m so angry.

I’m disappointed in the broadcast and I’ve decided to leave a post because it feels unfair to me.

I’ll probably receive curses for this being a “fan’s shield” and some of you may say that it won’t make a difference no matter what I write.  However, I don’t think programs should be edited like this.

To start off, B.I did well and that fact is known to myself and all the audience members that attended that day. 

The audience is meant to vote not only according to their rap skills but their command of the stage as a performer, isn’t that right?

No one knows who each of the audience members cast their votes for.

Each and every vote was sincere and from an audience member who truly thought, “Yes, I enjoyed that stage.”

Since the admission was limited to people over 19 on the weekday, the so-called “deluded fangirls” you all think of was actually only a very small amount.

The majority of the audience members were from Dongduk Women’s University and male rappers from the Hip Hop industry.

However, the only stages I remember where the audience really enjoyed and jumped around for was Vasco’s, Iron’s, and B.I’s.  These three did very well.  

Vasco goes without saying, he was skilled.  Iron’s lyrics were delivered great which made the audience listen attentively and most said “Wow, he’s really good!” through whispers.

And B.I, of course, showed as much as he could on stage.

Compared to a few other rappers who gave off a feeling like they just memorized their rap and then recited that on stage, B.I’s gestures were excellent and the way he commanded the stage stood out.

(During the middle that got edited where he looked like he intruded into the audience, actually B.I mentioned before he went on stage that he would do that.)

What I find so absurd is why they edited it to highlight B.I’s mistakes.

(Yook Jidam made a lot of mistakes too but she forgot all of her lyrics and couldn’t do her whole stage.)

The rappers were given about 3~4 minute each and almost all of the rappers there made mistakes as much as B.I did.

Before, the MC, Swings, also made a mistake.  But why ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Just why ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ Why does it look like B.I messed up his whole stage?  After his mistake, B.I actually pulled himself out of it and performed well for the rest of the 2 minutes.

The audience was pumped because he didn’t falter after making a mistake and his stage manners were really good. Again I want to say, there weren’t a lot of fangirls there, there was only a small amount, on the contrary, there were a lot of guys.

So my point is: B.I got the audience’s approval.

But the whole part where the audience enjoyed the show was edited out.  Just after his mistake, they made it look like he intruded into the audience.

If you listen well at 56:25 and 56:27, the music accompaniment stops. It’s because they cut out the part where we really enjoyed ourselves.  That all got edited out.

I don’t know if they’re editing it like this for the sake of the program’s entertainment factor. I don’t know the reasoning of the broadcasting company.  I’m leaving this post because I’m so taken aback.  I don’t understand why someone who actually did very well is getting backlash and hate for it.

Yes, you all will say “Well, what will this change?” even if I leave a post like this…  but I wish MNET would at least post an unreleased video of B.I’s performance.

TL;DR

1.  B.I’s parts where he did well were edited out.

2. B.I did not receive an unreasonable amount of votes.

3. Though many rappers did the same amount of mistakes as him, only B.I’s was shown and highlighted."

(T/N: Skipping the next one because it’s basically almost the same information except from a different poster/audience member.)

1. [+142, -47]  Isn’t this just written by a fan?  If B.I really did well, why did everyone say it was such “nonsense” that the results turned out that way?ㅋㅋ Even the actual judge, Tablo, totally said that the votes were absurd.ㅋㅋ  If every one of their stages were 3~4 minutes each, just the part where he made a mistake and when he shouted “Or try to make more money than our company!”, that would have been 3 minutes already.  Even if there were parts where he did do well that wasn’t shown on TV, that only must have been a few seconds.  A shield is a shield, heh. ㅋㅋ

2. [+135, -20]  Fans who do this only make Tablo and Bobby look like fools.  Bobby himself said that it didn’t make sense and Tablo also didn’t approve of the voting results.  It's total bull, the fans are making excuses and blaming the editing.  If it’s really how you say it is, then Tablo and Bobby must have only watched the TV version, huh?  Despite that, he has the company’s backup and most of the articles about him don’t even make it to the main portal.  (Whereas, Yook Jidam’s articles are all over.)  During these times, you can help B.I… by staying quiet.  You’re mistaken if you really think he’s only getting hate because he forgot the lyrics.

3. [+126, -3]  Whatever.  Anyway, why the hell did Yook Jidam get 7 votes?  Someone please explain this.

4. [+40, -2]  Why don't you try to make more money than my company

5. [+35, -48]  I also attended.  I’m not even a B.I fan, I’m just a regular girl but now that I see the broadcast, it really doesn’t make sense.  Even though he made a mistake, overall, he actually did well.  Honestly!  Though he still did well, I would say that it wasn’t good enough to be 2nd place.  Still, SMTM’s editing is really frustrating.

6. [+34, -4]  You all love blaming the editing.  Just say that you like B.I -_-  If he really performed well enough to be worthy of 2nd place, then why did the judges severely disagree with the voting results?  “Doesn’t it just seem like a popularity vote.” “Why would a kid who forgot his lyrics be second place.”  He’s getting backlash because he forgot his lyrics and even Bobby couldn’t understand why he got 2nd placeㅋㅋ If this isn’t a popularity vote, what is it, huh?

7. [+33, -2] If he really did well, would the judges’ reviews have been like that?

8. [+30, -1]  Whaaaaat bullshit.  Then did the judges listen to him through the TV?  That’s the first time I’ve seen Tablo look annoyed…
