The Best Rookie of 2012, Ailee or Lee Hi ?

With Mnet Asian Music Awards (MAMA) taking place today, the topic about this year's ultimate best rookie is currently the talk of town as Ailee has confirmed as the opening act of this year's MAMA which in another word means, she's definitely going to receive an award. To be honest, she had no competition at all due to the fact that Lee Hi debuted a little late (Debuted on October 29th 2012, candidates naming for MAMA took place on Oct 23th-24th) which unable her to qualify as the candidates for 'Rookie Award' this year at MAMA. Her achievements for this period of the year will be included as next year's achievements say experts.

Despite being the first rookie to clinch triple crown for music program awards with a debut song, Lee Hi or the monster rookie will not be able to get the rookie award this year. Not just that, Lee Hi also showed an outstanding achievement as she also stayed at the top of Billboard Chart for K-pop Songs for 4 weeks in a row (now toppled by Lee Seung Gi). Although she's not receiving any award at the Mnet Music Award today, Lee Hi will be collaborating for the first time with Epik High on stage to perform their hit single "It's cold".

To cut it short, Ailee is probably going to win without competition. Ailee impressed with both Heaven and I'll Show You but she only had won a single music program award once since her debut. Outstanding vocals, the look - Ailee sure has it all but we have to say after this she may have to worry because this 16 years old monster rookie, Lee Hi is outshining her. It's the beginning for you Ailee so hold that award tightly. After all, you're only a rookie once.
