singing
1. sunghee - I'm sure this poll was for the current members of kara, but come on, putting sunghee at #1 was as obvious as knowing that every day of the week ends in Y. pretty much preaching to the choir.
2. seungyeon - she was kind of "meh" during kara's debut, but it's gradually improved to the point where she's the go-to girl for adlibs, as someone mentioned.
3. nicole - a number of people in the chatbox who think nicole has amazing vocals have obviously never heard of kim sunghee. she started off absolutely awful and banished to almost exclusively rapping, but she's definitely stepped up her singing game, just not enough to surpass seungyeon at this point.
4. gyuri - putting her at 4 is more of a personal preference ranking. you could easily rank 2-4 as gyuri-seungyeon-nicole instead of what I put down. the reason is as follows: I think gyuri sounds like she's not putting enough breath energy into her singing, so to me, she usually sounds out of breath. she sounded like that in 2007, she sounds like that now. that's why I put her below seungyeon and nicole. then again, I've never been a fan of gyuri's talking voice, so that also plays a role in my decision to rank her #4.
5 and 6. hara and jiyoung, in no particular order. they can sing on pitch, but come on, guys. singing is more than just hitting the right tune.
dancing
I really could not care less about dancing and choreography. all it takes is hard work and dedication to hit your steps and dance as a group. but it takes much more than that to sing.
