That Heartsteel track worked a lot better Live than on the recording, Baekhyun was brilliant.

.

Gods is a really good song, but Newjeans aren't strong enough vocally to carry it off, they're too soft so all the impact is lost. They looked like a load of little girls trying to look all grown up and sassy (and what was that with all the Dad dancing at the end?), but not quite matching the aggression and power of the instrumentals.

.

The Glitch Mob pwned that though with Rise.
