Lmao at this Quran controversy. It's just what YG wanted.
As for SNSD, Music Bank was so much better. Back Hug was boring but they did sing live. Mr. Mr. they used the same pre-recorded vocal as M Countdown though which was lame.
SNSD do actually sing live, they did during RDR (even Yoona) and they do in other performances, but sometimes they have loud background vocal tracks covering up their live vocals.
Recently they've gotten too lazy though. GIRLS&PEACE "World" Tour and Japan Tour is all just CD playback it's embarrassing for them. Those Sones paying for tickets to this tour are just slaves to SM, especially when you can watch the MVs on YouTube and get the same experience.
