OPEN YOUR EYES (BLIND I) - MUSIQ SERIES PART 2

100. CONGRATULATIONS

After both performances were over, it was finally time to open the voting lines so the viewers could choose which group would debut in the end through the KEW app. The ones with a free account could only vote once, but the ones with a membership could vote up to three times, meaning that those accounts could really determine their fate.

They did not really have that much time to think about it, however, since the show had to go on. They had to keep the audience entertained while the voting was open, so they had to still make sure to only do their absolute best, as any mistake could suddenly change the audience's minds.

The first performance was held by Key To Atlantis, who performed one of their most popular title tracks: «Gingamingayo». Thanks to Mia's and A.Jin's stage presence during those stages they had attracted the public, and A.Jin's rap skills were one of the most talked about things online at that moment as the industry had been focusing a lot more on vocals than rap when they released that song.

After their performance, it was time for C1K and Breakthrough's collaboration stage with «Crush», one of the ones they were most excited about. Having the other MusiQ trainees only made them want to try to do it even better to make them proud, so they made sure to try to express the feeling of MusiQ during the performance instead of just doing their own thing. More than a collaboration, it felt like they were just one group.

After that performance, one of the most anticipated ones of the night came: ResQ's performance. They had not said what they would be performing during the show at all, so the audience was expectantly waiting for what they would do, as it had been a while since ResQ had performed together on stage.

During the whole performance, no one could understand anything. Alix had just recently had a baby, Soojin was pregnant, and they delivered a powerful performance that just did not make sense to them. They had been in the industry for ten years, but they still brought a sense of freshness that was the key to their sucess. Their concept had changed through the years to fit their growth but performing that song -which they released as a b-side years before yet never performed- showed everyone that they were still the same ResQ.

However, that was not all ResQ had to offer, but they would have to wait for the big performance. Before doing that, it was time for Axel, Juiyu and Eunae to perform «Art Gang Money».

The final was starting to feel more like a party than a survival show with the dancing going on backstage. They were just meant to get ready for their performances quietly, but instead they were singing and dancing alone as if they were in the middle of a party. Be it because they needed to let out their nervousness or because of the thrill of being on stage, the mood was much different from before the voting lines opened, and it showed in everything they did.
