Sing Again 3 episode 8, it's the Top 10 decision match!! It's really a war from now on. Judging from the process leading up to the epsode 8, rivalry match, it will be more interesting to watch the no-compromise war between the judges as much as the fierce confrontation between the singers from now on. With so many strong players, we can expect even stronger clashes between judges than in previous seasons.
This article contains spoilers.
Singers who enter the top 10 receive special benefits. They will be given the opportunity to participate in Sing Again 3, a nationwide tour concert, and from the top 10 they will be able to perform under their names instead of their numbers on stage, which is their long-cherished wish. They will change from obscurity to famous singers. Therefore, there will be no contestants who will not be greedy for the stage because it is the last and new beginning to escape the dark tunnel of 'unknown' that they have been through for a long time.
A Top 10 decision match is a method in which a total of 16 participants are divided into four groups and four singers compete in a group. Of the four singers in a group, two with a high score of Again will go straight to the Top 10, and the rest will be preliminary losers. The eight preliminary losers in each group must compete for the remaining two spots in the Top 10.
Also, after the Top 10 decision match, you will no longer be able to use Super Again. Unfortunately, Seon Mi judge couldn't write Super Again.
There are no criteria for the group draw. As in previous seasons, MC Lee Seung Gi will randomly pick and decide in front of the judges and contestants. The order of the draw is the order of the competition, and so the four players compete against each other in that order.
As MC Lee Seung-ki will randomly select the opponent for the same group, no one can guarantee the spot in the top 10 if a hellish group of death is formed. Whether it's a lucky or unlucky match.
The draw for Group 1 is over, and the Top 10 decider match has finally begun. The judges announced that they would evaluate the stage carefully and calmly with a different standard than before. As predicted, there were some evaluations that were too cold as they were.
Group 1: No.8, 46, 16 & 59
Participants of different colours and distinct personalities were grouped together.
No.8
The subtle emotional tremors were attractive and the song was felt sincere. However, there was an evaluation that it was a bit disappointing in terms of the composition of the song. Did the judges think that singer No.8 didn't fit the weight of the Top 10? The results of the examination were shocking.

I think it became an example of warning. Although he is a talented singer who made it to the top 10 decision match, he receives one again harshly as the judges announced.
No.46
No.46 She expressed her desire to show a performance without regrets at her best physical condition. In addition to her unique sense of rhythm, groove, and multinational singing, she now boasts a high level of rap skills. The judges were fascinated by No.46. Judge Cord Kunst praised her for her rap, saying that she felt like the first correct rap in Sing Again 3.
But to be honest, I felt that this was the least satisfying of the 46th stage so far. I think it's a stage where there will be likes and dislikes. Trying to show too many sides on your own makes you feel like you're out of order. It certainly wasn't my style. However, No.46 received a 5A and has now moved up to first place in Group 1.

To be honest, I think No.8's 1A is too lower score compared to No.46's 5A. However, judges have their own standards, so they can't help it.
No.16
No.16 seemed to be singing with emptiness. He sang so comfortably. But the emotion and technique of the number 16 permeated into the comfort. It was like looking out a snowy window.

Let's go cheer for No.16
TIt's a Top 10 decision match, so it's worth being greedy, but it's not too much, and it was a song that felt like listening to a chanson without the unique R&B technique of a deep soul that I've shown so far.
He finished the performance with calm and simple songs. His song felt very warm and cozy. No.16 ranked No.1 in the group with 6A score, and although there is one person left, he has made it to the top 10. It was worthwhile to root for him from the first episode.
No.59
No.59 filled the stage with gorgeous electric guitar sounds, shrill voice, and powerful arrangements. When I listen to No.59, I feel as if I'm running freely and excitedly towards something. I think that's the musical charm of No.59, which is not at all outclassed even among emotional singers.

However, he did not perform 100% because his voice was not in good condition. Nevertheless, the result of the screening was 5A, tying with No.46 for second place.
In this case, the judges will have to choose between No.46 and No.59 again. In the end, the famous singer No.46 made it to the Top 10. However, neither No. 59 nor No. 8 are confirmed to be eliminated. Both participants will have to prepare for the repechage.
Group 2: No.66, 47, 49 & 60
The second round of drawing has begun. And something that I was concerned about happened. This is because the group of death was made by the hands of MC Lee Seung-gi.
No.66
No.66, who received a somewhat disappointing evaluation from Kim Eana judges in the third round, prepared a stage where she could show off her charm through a lot of thought. Not only their voice and singing skills, but also No.66's specialty, the guitar, is enough to keep everyone engaged.

Let's go cheer for No.66
Judge Kim Eana advised her, "You are doing so well right now. But now, I think you need a special stage to show your colors," while Judge Codkunst praised her, saying, "I think I will see this stage again and again." With a total of 6A, she has a good chance of entering the top 10 stably.
No.47
No.47 dramatically advanced to this round after receiving Super Again from Kim Eana judge in the last round. In order to concentrate solely on singing, unlike before, he fills the stage with his voice and no guitar. Not only the intro, but also the chorus, which Kim Eana judge pointed out, performed a song that was not lacking at all.

However, the delivery of the lyrics was a bit disappointing, and he received a 4A and became a candidate for elimination. There are still two people left, so why are they already candidates for elimination?
That's because there's No.49 singer. He's an amazing singer and I think he's a strong favorite, so I think he'll be in the top 10 even if I don't hear him. So 47 is definitely a candidate to be eliminated, right?
No.49
From the first episode, I said he was a strong favorite, and he played a really good song. As soon as I heard it, I was amazed by the exclamation, "Wow!" The song by No.49 made it impossible for all female judges to shut their mouths.
Judge Lee Hae-ri's jaw of truth, which had been silent for a while, also reacted strongly. Speaking of which, let's take a look at Judge Lee Hae-ri's original Chin of Truth, 5 steps, which reacted strongly to No.49's song.

Chin of Truth Step 2
Chin of Truth Step 3

Chin of Truth Step 5
To be honest, the song came as a different kind of emotion from other contestants. As soon as the song was over, the judges burst into excitement with "Oh my gosh!" In particular, the female judges made a fuss about wanting to judge each other first.
The male judges also praised his beautiful voice. Judge Lim Jae-beom said, "Let's go up!" And he made it official to make it to the Top 10. As result was a 7A. All the judges blame Yoon Jong-shin for not giving Again.
Then let's listen to No.49 beautiful songs.

No.60
6I think number 60 will be a dark horse, unexpectedly. Although she didn't stand out in the beginning, she has been quietly loved since the first round. The first round's performance video has already exceeded 5 million views on YouTube. In this match, she sang while playing the bass guitar herself, and her professional bass guitar skills and simple singing style were so attractive.다.

Despite the general positive reviews from the judges, the final result of the judging received a final 5A. Therefore, in this second group, Nos. 49 and No.66 have officially qualified for the Top 10.
Group 3: No.56, 40, 68 & 25
Like Group 1, this group is also participants in different genres with distinct colors. It will be a difficult match like Group 2, as it includes No.68 which ranks first in the popular cheering vote, No.56 which ranks fifth, and No.25 which everyone fears.
Sing Again 3, Episode 9 Preview
Next week, along with Top 10 decision match for the rest of the group, there will be a repechage for the loser candidates.
Looking at the trailer, it looks like there is a contestant who was the first to receive an all-again in the fourth round. Probably either 68 or 25 or 27 or 48. I feel like it's No.27.
