Can we all take a moment to appreciate how important was Seohyun in this performance? She helped backing her voice for Yoona and also Taeyeon and few other parts. I think she nailed her role very well. And everyone successfully nailed this performance!! I mean like they danced so amazingly beautiful and give a 110% of them! I love this performance so much. SNSD IS THE ONLY NUMBER ONE GIRL GROUP IN THIS WORLD. nothing else compared to them.
honestly, if this was performed on the jimmy Kimmel show today, it'd be a huge hit since back then, things were different... The synchronized dancing, vocals, everything. I truly think people would like it
Jon Hohensee I don't remember the Spice Girls, Pussycat Dolls, Fifth Harmony and Little Mix pulling off this kind of performance. All they do is gyrate on stage, barely any dancing at all.
I'm doing my final project in my Women in History and Culture class on Girls' Generation and their influence on the current international kpop boom, I really think they helped paved the way
You can tell Seohyun is singing over Yoona's line at 0:57 shes holding up her mic to her mouth in the back and also you can tell it sounds just like her
Came back to see this after watching Blackpink’s American tv debut. GG just knows how to command a stage. The choreo is complex and on point. They exude stage presence. I love BP but they have a long way to go before they can even compete with GG.
SNSD had A LOT of performances under their belt by 2012. Gotta remember, the old model was way different. They would show up anywhere and perform in the beginning. And, they had 3 huge tours under their belt.
+xBeneathTheStarsx Right? This shows dedication, work, planning.. SNSD and all the other staff behind this song and routine worked so much to make it happen. Most American radio songs right now are a guitar riff, a kick drum and some really simple lyrics.. I want something that makes my jaw drop!
I think everyone watching this on tv or in the audience would have been stunned when they did that dance break, you don't really get that kind of performance in america
Just checking on this video again to remind everyone that my Queen Sooyoung has been flipping her hair since this era and I'm happy y'all are giving her all the love she and her hair deserves ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
I'm deeply impressed by these girls' ability to dance that crazy choreography on those giant heels, in that tiny space and sing at the same time. Hats off
I never heard of K-pop at this point and this performance single handedly made me a K-pop stan. Ever since then I completely fell in the rabbit hole. Look at where we are now🥲 #memories
I know right! sooyoung is my GG bias & I was soo happy for her! I think if they ever come back to the US or get a hit song, Sooyoung will be big over here, I just know it
The camera work here was so much better than how they do it in Korea. You got to appreciate the dancing. On Korean TV they do so many fast cuts that I find it annoying.
My word their English is impeccable. I can't hear an accent with any of them. I know that shouldn't be surprising but I have just recently discovered this group so yeah. Damn, these women have got a shitload of talent.
This is SO COOL!!! I didn't know they were on this show!! I would definitely like to see more Kpop stars on shows like this here in America (cough Beast cough)! ^-^
Who is still looking this in 2015??Awesome!!!Hope They can make another Full English Album With Jessica when their contract with SM end,I trust them&SONE,They can manage themselves well,I Believe That #OT9
watching this, i realized that i know this song. a sudden shock of de javu went over me. i used to love this song when i was younger and i didn’t even know what kpop was. i am crying right now
This marks the true start of Kpop idol debut experience for US TV.. I remember being so excited and also nervous for this performance.. But..!! The remix of the boys fitted the show and performance so well.. all the memories..
This is why I love them. They have real appeal to become international stars. They should've promoted here in Europe, America only like Americans and Brits
I feel like SM Entertainment really forced them to rehearse this 5000 times because it was the American music industry. It was incredible to watch. They were definitely at their peak in 2011.
Before BTS's success in America... there was BoA, Wonder Girls, and SNSD. These ladies paved the way for all Kpop groups years before. I'm not trying to take away from their hardwork; but if it weren't for these talented women, Kpop boy groups like BTS would NOT have been able to break through the American market like they did. Right now, from now on, forever it's Girls' Generation
Not a fan of this remix version but I enjoy seeing the energy the girls put in this, they all performed so well! I never thought Kpop would grow to be as big as it currently is.
thanx for this contribute....the girls did a very good job and i m quite sure,the American girl groups did felt a cold shiver down their spine...these girls enetrtain!!!!!!!!!!!

Seohyun is an absolute gem. SM is extremely lucky to have her.
Aezat Amin i never realized that she also helped in Yoona's part too 😍😍 thanks for the recognition 👍 that's my bias Seohyun whom I'm always so proud ❤
TheDavidHurtado ya but they didnt let her be part of train to busan :(
@@coolgaeul wht do u mean?
ms nddd she was given a choice to be a character in train to busan but sm did not let here choose. :(
They are all Slaying and I feel like Seohyun is a secret weapon, doing and helping everyone in the background.
Yeesss singing backup in secret. Seo is definitely a huge asset to the group!
Its a unique sounding voice. I always pick up on it now in all GG songs, especially in the boys & TTS Twinkle she really stands out.
honestly, if this was performed on the jimmy Kimmel show today, it'd be a huge hit since back then, things were different... The synchronized dancing, vocals, everything. I truly think people would like it
I Agree, People weren't as aware of KPop during this time. Now it's a bit more global.
Lola Pennyburg agreed. letterman's crowd is way too old. i hate Falon but that's more appropriate
Well, the girls did pave the way for today's crop of Kpop groups to Western audiences, so that's something invaluable.
It was nothing new.
Jon Hohensee I don't remember the Spice Girls, Pussycat Dolls, Fifth Harmony and Little Mix pulling off this kind of performance. All they do is gyrate on stage, barely any dancing at all.
Sooyoung was smokin here
WOW SOOYOUNG I'M SO SORRY I DIDN'T REALIZE YOU WERE SO HOT AND CHARISMATIC AND A GOOD DANCER YOU JUST CLIMBED ON MY BIAS LIST TO #1
+J-horse's trash YES YES YES, her hyoyeon and yuri are the MAIN dancers of SNSD. she SLAAAAYS
In Korea she's rarely in the cameras eyeline but in this one you can see her a lot I'm so happy I love her sm
Update: Sooyoung became hotter 8 years later.
the stage was too small for all 9 of them, they still killed it tho
I think sunny is all to aware how small the stage is at 1:51!
Yeah it was the inclusion of the band took up alot of the stage they normally don't get to guest groups this size but at least they made it work.
I don't know how many times I've watched this, but Sooyoung gets me every single time!
Me too!
Sooyoung is the BOMB. Can't take my eyes off her.
causesobad Is she the one that stepped forward at 1:40? Because she is stunning! They're all beautiful but this lady at 1:40 is truly stunning!
mibello aleman that's Her. on point
random citizen, thank you for answering my question. She is gorgeous! No wonder David handed her the football! Beautiful!
+causesobad the camera just loved her.. she looked like a goddess.
In football that means shes MVP
sooyoung's dance break is AWESOMEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Sooyoung and Hyoyeon is really popular in America.
+Ozcár Choi so true tho
Simon Moe YAAAAS!!
I mean sooyoung looked straight like Catherine Zeta Jones in this era look at her!!
Yes she is
Sooyoung slayed this. Thank you cameraman!
I'm doing my final project in my Women in History and Culture class on Girls' Generation and their influence on the current international kpop boom, I really think they helped paved the way
How was your project going? I would like to see your work if you don't mind
This could really be a thesis too lmao
@@nviscalling5752 I already made a thesis about it lol
@@tjtan5009 really?? Omg send it to me I’d love to read it!!
@@tjtan5009 where's it published? I want to read it
Americans love SOOYOUNG AND HYOYEON!! They have the look and they have the moves
Joshua Madden Sooyoung looks liked like a much prettier version of Kim Kardashian here so yes she was stunning
sooyoung's contour was on fleek
Seohyun did an amazing job with that back up vocals.
Sooyoung looks amazing with this hair
woah! that dance break!
sooyoung ♥
Sooyoung killed everything, even that simple little kick in "you know the girls..." part
You can tell Seohyun is singing over Yoona's line at 0:57 shes holding up her mic to her mouth in the back and also you can tell it sounds just like her
Seohyun providing vocal support
best performance ever!
sooyoung rocks!
Sooyung relly hot in this hair..can see camera cant stop zooming at her..luv u sooyung!
UGH SOOYOUNG SLAY QUEEN SLAAAAAAYYY
69!
Came back to see this after watching Blackpink’s American tv debut. GG just knows how to command a stage. The choreo is complex and on point. They exude stage presence. I love BP but they have a long way to go before they can even compete with GG.
Can relate - This probably be the best kpop GG American debut ever.
SNSD had A LOT of performances under their belt by 2012. Gotta remember, the old model was way different. They would show up anywhere and perform in the beginning. And, they had 3 huge tours under their belt.
Sooyoung stole the show!
Agreed, best I've ever seen her
Supermodel bitch
Soo young got her chance to shine, and oh she did shine
Just one name: CHOI SOOYOUNG
True. I thought her and Yoona really brought it.
she was everything.
@@gagabitch54 I'm not usually this prude but no, hsshddh just Sooyoung in this performance.
She STOLE the show.
YES! She had her fair share of being the center here and I'm so thankful.
YES! She had her fair share of being the center here and I'm so thankful.
they are better than 95% popular entertainers in america now. amazed they aren't more popular in this country.
99%
I GET SO EMOTIONAL EVERYTIME I WATCH THIS
theyve come so far and worked so hard they are beautiful and KILLIN IT out there
thats how I get with infomercials
SAME!!!! oh my gosh same!! :')
I remember watching this one live! Absolutely remarkable. Sooyoung particularly nailed it here.
I want more of this in America. I want different, its so refreshing. I'm so over everything we have now.
omg same american pop music is turning into crap
+xBeneathTheStarsx Right? This shows dedication, work, planning.. SNSD and all the other staff behind this song and routine worked so much to make it happen. Most American radio songs right now are a guitar riff, a kick drum and some really simple lyrics.. I want something that makes my jaw drop!
Tori Chang Thank you, exactly.
+MsYogaGrrrl so freaking true
glad that bts make it
the camera loves sooyoung :) i love that she's getting more camera time!
They...killed it.
I will never forget having the opportunity to see SNSD live on my TV and seeing Sooyoung in 1080p for the first time... my god I was SHOOK
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the musicians? They are amazing!
This was the best the boys performance. Their dancing, epic.
SOOYOUNG IS SO BEAUTIFUL :3
I think everyone watching this on tv or in the audience would have been stunned when they did that dance break, you don't really get that kind of performance in america
the best thing to ever happen on american television.
Kaneki Ken you are so 100% wrong right there
Kaneki Ken that wasnt good tho ^^ i mean i see some entertainment factor but the "best"....idk

Just checking on this video again to remind everyone that my Queen Sooyoung has been flipping her hair since this era and I'm happy y'all are giving her all the love she and her hair deserves ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
THIS PERFORMANCE PAVED THE WAY FOR BLACKPINK TO BREAK THE US MARKET!! BLINKS WILL FOREVER BE THANKFUL TO THE OG QUEENS OF KPOP!!! 👸🏽
Not often does sooyoung get that many camera shots. But the camera loves her which is why I love this performance
Indeed. So thankful for this perf.
Soo young owned that stage
I'm deeply impressed by these girls' ability to dance that crazy choreography on those giant heels, in that tiny space and sing at the same time. Hats off
Seohyun was an integral part of SoShi. Such a shame SM wasted her talent. But I’m glad she is out of that agency and is now thriving as an actress.
looks like the cameraman had a bias, sooyoung
Everytime i watch this i LIVEEEEE. Sooyoung absolutely BODIES this performance, taeyeon’s fuck yeah expression after her high note, UGH its ART
This was the definition of "ahead of its time." America simply was not ready for Kpop greatness.
1:40 SooYoung!! 😍
All the close ups of Sooyoung make me feel blessed
I never heard of K-pop at this point and this performance single handedly made me a K-pop stan. Ever since then I completely fell in the rabbit hole. Look at where we are now🥲 #memories
I know right! sooyoung is my GG bias & I was soo happy for her! I think if they ever come back to the US or get a hit song, Sooyoung will be big over here, I just know it
I will never get tired of this performance
+MegaBlue3 right!
Sooyoung, omg. She danced so amazingly it's unreal!
Wow!!Seo unnie's voice..I can hear it clearly..
The camera work here was so much better than how they do it in Korea. You got to appreciate the dancing. On Korean TV they do so many fast cuts that I find it annoying.
yeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaah ;-;
True.
seohyun so cute doing her bow!! ahh i love them so much. i feel like one proud mama
Sooyoung FTW
My word their English is impeccable. I can't hear an accent with any of them. I know that shouldn't be surprising but I have just recently discovered this group so yeah. Damn, these women have got a shitload of talent.
Soyoung was legendary for this!
This is SO COOL!!! I didn't know they were on this show!! I would definitely like to see more Kpop stars on shows like this here in America (cough Beast cough)! ^-^
2SweetSprouseStars Yes, BEAST please (LL)
I agree with you 100%!!!! I love BEAST and I wish CUBE would let them come to America soon.
Stephanie Garsia YES YES YESSS!!! I want them to come here so bad so I can meet them!! Heehee! ^_^
CL was on James Cordon
2SweetSprouseStars★Cup Of Tae With A Kookie Omg this is such a late reply but YAS beast (Highlight) they are sooo underrated
OMFG. This is breath taking.
Choi SooYoung
Who is still looking this in 2015??Awesome!!!Hope They can make another Full English Album With Jessica when their contract with SM end,I trust them&SONE,They can manage themselves well,I Believe That #OT9
Probably not cause I think they have different contacts cause Jessica and Tiffany were signed way early on before the group like teenage years ...
*****Pls don't say like that before you know the truth
Sone Yang Well... she just left the company for China.
Sone Yang 2017 man
Sooyoung's got hair tossing down to an art.
Thanks to this video I became a sone and kpoper. It's the first asiatic thing that I see. I love you girls!!!
*asian
2:14 damn seohyun! work that harmony!
I can't believe this is live, they sound so good!
Sooyoung at 3:13 DAAAAAMMN OOOFFF😍😍😍💖💗💔💙💙💜❣️
slayed that performance. three years later and still slaying
This performance literally slayed every American artist's performance that ever was or will be.
The screams show how popular HyoYeons is in AMERICA I love u
watching this, i realized that i know this song. a sudden shock of de javu went over me. i used to love this song when i was younger and i didn’t even know what kpop was. i am crying right now
They dance at 1:39 was so cool!
This marks the true start of Kpop idol debut experience for US TV.. I remember being so excited and also nervous for this performance.. But..!! The remix of the boys fitted the show and performance so well.. all the memories..
Sooyoung ateeeeee itttt!!!!!! Specially the break dance !!!!!!!!!!
wow taeyeon and seohyun combo at @2:12. amazing
DAAAAAMN SOOYOUNG !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tbvh this is still the greatest us debut by a kpop group
Only one word for this performance....dynamic. Loved it...!
This is why I love them. They have real appeal to become international stars. They should've promoted here in Europe, America only like Americans and Brits
I remember not knowing anything about kpop or snsd and watching this performance thinking sooyoung was the leader or center of the group lol
We can see Soehyun help Taeyeon High Note back Ground , and the Cameraman always Face with Sooyoung ❤️😘 the Cameraman Like Sooyoung for sure 💋👌
The BEST David Letterman show I ever watched. GG
2nd Gen. will always be so good because they sing live.
2NE1, SNSD and Miss A are the trinity for sure!!!
For me this is the best live of The Boys. I love the remix.
This performance right here made me a fan of SNSD and KPOP in general!!!
I feel like SM Entertainment really forced them to rehearse this 5000 times because it was the American music industry.
It was incredible to watch. They were definitely at their peak in 2011.
I would die from a heat stroke if I ever saw them in person good Lord
I've meet them.
But Jessica and Sooyoung weren't there.
so what's sooyoung hair care product or routine 😂 her hair is sooooo silky perfect
Girl groups paved the way for KPOP internationally (Gee Gee, 2NE1, Wonder Girls) without these women BTS wouldn't be what it is Today.
agreed, idek why ppl are tryna to discredit them 🤷🏻♀️🤷🏻♀️
I wonder what Bill Murray was thinking while watching this.
+Zoë Harmar LOST IN TRANSLATION *_*
Fuck Im old LOL
Zoë Harmar probably something dirty like. I wonder how much one of them would cost for the night lmao 😂
I dunno about Bill Murray, but I'm pretty sure by the way Regis is smiling, he's thinking "I can finally get it up!"
Such bullshit music, Christ really?
Almost 2022 but the power these girls hold are still the best. From visuals, vocals to the way they nailed the choreography. QUEENS, indeed!
taeyeon and seohyun combo at 2:12, best highnote duet in kpop
Before BTS's success in America... there was BoA, Wonder Girls, and SNSD. These ladies paved the way for all Kpop groups years before.
I'm not trying to take away from their hardwork; but if it weren't for these talented women, Kpop boy groups like BTS would NOT have been able to break through the American market like they did. Right now, from now on, forever it's Girls' Generation
Preach. Finally someone acknowledges them
the maknae is on fire!!!!!!!
Not a fan of this remix version but I enjoy seeing the energy the girls put in this, they all performed so well! I never thought Kpop would grow to be as big as it currently is.
thanx for this contribute....the girls did a very good job and i m quite sure,the American girl groups did felt a cold shiver down their spine...these girls enetrtain!!!!!!!!!!!
I really dig their outfit concept! I see where the stylist/designer was trying to go with it. They just needed a little bit more time to refine it!
Appreciated the camera work vs Korean shows. I love watching SNSD formations and the camera angles were really good to watch the choreo.
Glad they kept Hyoyeon's dance part in it
This is the video that started it all for me.
