A recent online post has sparked discussion among K-pop fans after an audio snippet of Girls' Generation's hit song "Genie" surfaced. The clip revealed how the track sounded before its final edit, featuring Jessica’s ad-libs right before the dance break part.
According to one netizen, instead of Jessica’s original ad-lib, the final version of Genie included Taeyeon’s ad-lib at the end of the song. Additionally, the lyric was also changed before the release. The reason for this change remains unknown, but the discovery has led to a popular debate among netizens.
Following the snippet's release, there has been a mixed opinion with some fans preferring the final version, saying it is more polished, while others argue that Jessica's version added a unique charm to the song.
They commented:
"I think it's better without it. It's more clean and polished."
"I really love Jessica's part."
"I wonder why they removed it..."
"I think I'm so used to listening to it without that part that it sounds better without it."
"I love Jessica's voice."
"I don't think it was Jessica's part that was only removed. That song got changed a lot."
