1. [+1,886, -47] I don't think it's fair that they place so much emphasis on the personal stories of each contestant before they go up to sing. The viewer is obviously not just judging them on their singing anymore... It's like they're trying to gain your sympathy. Look at Ulala Session... They hid the fact that the late Im Yoon Taek was battling cancer and kept it a secret until they passed into Super Week. They tried to keep it a secret until the end but when it came out, people were all that more impressed... Man, I miss him now.

2. [+1,592, -78] If they really want to be singers, they should just sing instead of talking about all of their hardships. Their hardships have nothing to do with their singing. Win with your talent alone.

3. [+1,199, -70] I hope they don't pick based on beauty this time

4. [+1,029, -112] I feel like Roy Kim and Jung Jun Young fans messed up the last season of the show.

5. [+1,432, -46] Why are there so many people in Korea who sing so well? So many contestants left a great impression on me... nevermind that the show is still using crappy editing, though.

6. [+1,271, -25] Can they cut back on the amount of time the contestants spend talking about their hardships... and really supporting Park Shi Hwan-ssi ㅎㅎ

7. [+1,182, -19] They tricked me into waiting for Cha In Pyo's son...

8. [+1,231, -135] Superstar K is the best audition show... the others aren't up to par.

9. [+982, -35] I'm thankful for Superstar K for discovering Busker...

10. [+936, -36] Park Shi Hwan is a jewel. If it's true that they eliminated him for season five, then goooose bumps!
