Since I haven't made an article in a while and am fresh out of ideas, why not make another countdown?

Anyways, valid comments are just explaining why you chose the certain member.
Valid: I chose [insert member here] because... [insert explanation here]

Invalid: [insert member here]
She's the best
I like her
I think it's her

Simple. If you comment with reasoning, your vote will be counted towards that member, and valid comment majority determines the winner for the round.

Sooyoung has the most confidence and stage presence. Every move she makes is fierce, effortless and concise

^^ Singing, Dancing, and if it genuinely looks like they're putting in energy during the performance. I guess you can say in general.

In my opinion it's Tiffany because she always gives her best to catch attention of the public, she tries to entertain people and have a kind of contact with the fans. She is so lively, always focused and cares a lot about the performance and their spectators :)

Sooyoung because i like her confidence, she has stage presence. I like how she puts emotions on singing and in dancing. She's very appealing to me. And she's very energetic.

Maybe the second is Taeyeon....idk

Taeyeon- she has the best voice which no one in the group has, her dancing is actually really nice...granted she isn't always the best dancing but no one can top her singing voice, not even Hyoyeon's dancing

Jessica- I don't think she is the best live performer save her singing

Sunny- She is a decent performer, she would be on top but her singing isn't the best and her dancing doesn't really make her stand out unless its doing sexy moves

Tiffany- She has attitude which is good, her singing for the right audience is good, if SNSD didn't have to dance she would be a good second just for charisma

The dancers- I do feel bad for them because they can really only dance, at least 3/5 of the singers can dance better than the 2/4 of the dancers that can sing.The only of them that performs and can stand out without having to do sexy moves is Hyoyeon, occasionally Yuri

Seohyun- she tries and the fact she can sing nice and dance without many mistakes makes her a good performer in my book

What vinxinc said. She has the best stage presence.

She has the best Singing(5th-6th)/Dancing(2nd-4th)/Actitude­(1s­t) relation. She always sunrise, her live singing is pretty good, her dance is charming, she barely fail and she has charisma. She already showed she can handle a song live alone, without risking her dancing and actitude. That makes her in my opinion the best live performer.

Yeah can someone explain to me how Sooyoung is winning when most of her singing is backtrack?

^That's just false

^want proof?

I think Taeyeon. She's not avoiding to dance and could without many mistakes and she sings good, too. She smiles and I feel satisfied with her attitude.

Seohyun is so audible and that is what I care about the most. I can hear her actual live voice clearly when she sings and she has a different kind of energetic stage presence than the others especially in the TTS adrenaline performances. Dont understand how sooyoung is up there. She always looks best or is one of the best looking live but she doesnt always sing live

Sooyoung has tons of charisma and stage presence, she barely makes mistakes and her singing is much more stable now than before.

I hope I'm not the only one who think it's Sunny, but seriously this girl has that alluring charm also along with Tiffany. I never get tired of watching her, sure she makes mistakes sometimes, but I don't expect a perfect performance all the time. Her singing is although not the best, but she's good enough for you to stick onto and her dancing is pretty decent, but her energy on stage deserves an ovation. And out of all of them I think she has the best facial expressions while performing on stage.

I'm surprise some people chose Jessica, like really? Oh well it's your perspective after all.

^My problem with Sunny is that she isn't the best live singer (only Taeyeon, Jessica, Seohyun and Tiffany are) and her dancing skills aren't always her best. Honestly if she could dance like Hyoyeon or Sing like Taeyeon I can see why people think she is the best (key) performer. Members who can't sing without thier voices shaking or need backtrack don't deserve to be called the best live (as in no help) performer.

If we were just judging on performance then that is a different story, I don't see how members who can't sing are called the best.

I thought we need to say best 'LIVE' performer, not just performer, who looks better on stage or shows more charisma. People do you know what mean LIVE? Idk why Soo is first if she isn't singing live. Taeyeon is singing live very well and her dancing is pretty good. At this point I agree with tiagih.

^ EXACTLY!!! The poll says LIVE, that means best singing live and dancing live. Taeyeon does it best.

If we are talking about good performers I have no mind in Sooyoung being a top contender, but live means singing and dancer, wth

^ Being on stage in front of an audience, that's live too. And Sooyoung handles performances really well not just with her dancing and singing skills but also her absolute confidence and charm.

^ That is true but best live means best singing and dancing, not just one or the other. Lots of the vocalists are and many of them have thier own charm, this isn't about confidence of stage presence, it about who is a better live performer. All Sooyoung can do is dance she isn't a good singer hense why she is a subvocalist.

To say she is the best live performer is an insult to the vocalist esp the ones who sing way better than her and can dance better than she can sing.


I am not denying she isn't a good performer but to say the best when she can't sing all that well makes no sense.

look at this
link

now all of them are singing live but vocalist despite dancing they sing better than the dancer. I am not saying this because I like Taeyeon but she deserves some credit its not like she is standing still while dancing. She is the main vocalist which means she sings most of the time and has to dance with the group, that is something she deserves credit for

After seeing Vinxinc and Tiagh2 talk about who's better, I've changed my mine to Taeyeon instead of Hyoyeon. She does sound great live and her dancing is always great for not being a main dancer.

But I completely agree with Gretulee and Tiagh2

Miss Tiagih, take it as an insult if you want. I can take it in the same way voting for Taeyeon, who has 0 stage presence while not singing, and never try to enterteint the public. People already chosen, you don't need to attack nobody.

Well if we would talk about 'best performer', not 'best live performer' I would agree with Sooyoung. But I can't even imagine how to explain to you that it's 'BEST LIVE PERFORMER'. You guys are too stubborn to admit that Sooyoung isn't best live performer, because I feel like some of you realised that already...I mean after reading all comments, but still don't want to admit it. Too biased -.-
Sooyoung sings 2 lines and you are telling that she's best live performer, how's that possible, please explain me....
Yes Taeyeon may not be with the best presence, but she's best singer, which means she's best live performer with her decent dancing.
Oh My, it's first time I support Tae so much haha

^ You already answered yourself. Singing, dancing and presence are included as the creator of the poll said. Taeyeon has bad/little stage presence.

But if we would need to see solo performance, Tae would be better. Singing: Taeyeon. Dancing: Well they both could learn dance moves and show them, yes, even Taeyeon. Presence to show isn't hard, you just need to practice, if Tae would practice more, she would be better. And sing high notes you wouldn't learn fast, especially sing them well. So who's the winner, can't you tell....
that's just my personal opinion

^ So don't call me or whoever voted Sooyoung biased. Exactly, that's personal opinion and how much credit you give for singing, dancing and presence. It actually has to do with where you have them in your rankings.

P.S: By practice everybody gets everything. Not only Taeyeon.

Okay, to end further bickering, I will end this poll (since the poll already closed anyways)
I figured that if I only put Best Perfomer, people might think of live performances and TV appearances (which I really don't get) so I had put Best Live Performer.
When I also had told BlackPearlLuver that "singing, dancing, and if they put in energy in the performance" was what I wanted your votes to be based upon, I wasn't clear upon whether or not you should focus on one or the other, but I thought it would be implied that you should take those three aspects into account and focus on all three of them.
Since it was substantially my fault, I might be considering restarting this poll not only because of the ongoing debate, but also because of Jessica's departure from the group. (Unless you wish to not have that happen, in that case, I can't do anything about that.)

Actually it doesn't. My ranking was always unsure. The only top 3. Remaining members are more, less the same for me. Actually Sooyoung would be much higher now. But I just wanted to say that if you put them in performance without dancing, like sitting and only singing, Taeyeon would definitely shine, while Soo would be okay. That would be perfect examply of Best Live Performer.
