I was watching some stage perfromances and I heard myself saying "wow this is their best performance" after every performance. So I decided to watch like a 100 live stage performances and rank them (1 stage per song) with a few rules and wanted to share it.

  • No OTS
  • No edited M/V like performances
  • No bias
  • Keeping it OT5

Some songs have only a few or no performance at all (please give us Pierrot) and I included covers as well.
I might've missed some performances. Please share if I missed something.

  1. JEWELRY at FEARNADA Japan 2024. I'm so sad this song didn't get more recognition, it's so good! But this is the only stage performance of them I could find.

  2. SOUR GRAPES at JTBC 22-10-2022. Yes, the bottom of the list is going to be the sad/slow songs. Not much going on on stage.

  3. WE GOT SO MUCH Original Stage.

  4. FEARNOT at Unforgiven Comeback Show. God I love this song.

  5. GOOD PARTS at Antifragile Comeback Show. This whole comeback show was so PERFECT! Pro idol Kkura holding Eunchaes hand and sitting at the edge of the stage and the other members following them!

  6. BLUE FLAME at Yonsei Akaraka Festival. Could not find much OT5 blue flame performances.

  7. NO RETURN at Music Bank 05-05-2023. This choreography is so fun, but not much going on for the rest of the stage,

  8. CHOISES at BEAT AX Festival 2024.

  9. PERFECT NIGHT at BlizzCon 2023. How cool was it to perform this song on BLIZZCON?!

  10. IMPURITIES at Antifragile Comeback Show.

  11. FIRE IN THE BELLY at Flame Rises tour in Seoul. Ofcourse this one. W-w-w-what else?

  12. FLASH FORWARD at Unforgiven Comeback Show. Hear me out. I break my own rule. It's my favourite song. I don't care. I need more lines for Sakura.

  13. HOPE by H.O.T. at 2022 KBS Song Festival. Look how pupu they all are here, so cute!

  14. THE BOYS by Girls Generation at 2022 SBS Gayo Daejeon. Covers in general are always so nice. I hope they do more covers in the future.

  15. UNFORGIVEN at Unforgiven Comeback Show. This performance has a special place in my heart after the documentary.

  16. SWANG SONG Original Stage. So well performed.

  17. THE GREAT MERMAID at Coachella. Look how much fun my girls have on the stage.

  18. ANTIFRAGLE at Coachella. I love how much fun they have and how they try to express this to the audiance. Very powerfull performance. So delightful.

  19. FEARLESS at Music Bank 27-05-2022 and FEARLESS at SBS Gayo Daejeon 2022. Okay, so. I love the first one, becuase it is (one of) the first live singing performance 3 weeks after they debut. I like how they struggle here, because looking at them now how they have improved gives me so much joy. And the second one, wow giving such an end of the year show 7 months after debut? Come on.

  20. CRAZY at VMA 2024. I mean, it's the fucking VMA's mate.

  21. EP&TBW at MAMA 2023. Legendary.

  22. LOVE SHOT by EXO at KCON JAPAN 2022. Red suit Kazuha. That's all.

  23. NO CELESTIAL at Antifragile Comeback Show. This song just pumps you up. The stage, the dubble mics, SAKURA, everything was so amazing. I love this song and I'm so happy they had such an great live stage performance for this song.

  24. EASY + SMART GayoDaejeon Summer 26-07-2024. This performance before the comeback, after all the shit my girls went through. The intro, the remixes, the dancebreak, the fan chants, EUNCHAE DESCENDING FROM THE FUCKING CEILING. Top notch.

  25. 1-800-hot-n-fun at Coachella. Okay, I might've been biassed. I really like Coachella 1800 as my favourite 1800 performances. Espacially, surprise surpirse, Sakura. She is so confident here! I need this confident Coachella Sakura back please.

  1. i loveeee the fearless sbs gayo daejeon 2022 performance it’s #1 for me. still sick the soumu makes a million remixes for their TTs but never released that version of fearless

  2. DryButterscotch7533 on

    Number 1 is so real, probably their rawest performance ever. Personally, I would also add Unforgiven from week 1 Coachella to the list. The energy was insane
