Girls’ Generation’s 2009 hit “Genie” is one of the group’s most iconic songs—but a recently resurfaced clip has fans buzzing over a deleted vocal part by former member Jessica Jung.
A viral post on TheQoo highlighted a version of the song where Jessica’s ad-libbed vocals were originally included during the chorus, only to be removed before the song’s official release. Fan Reactions:
“Jessica’s voice is amazing, but I think it’s better without it.”
“Sounds kind of cheesy… I can see why it was cut.”

“I love this version! Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I miss it.”
“No, this sucks.”
While some listeners appreciate Jessica’s distinct vocal color, others feel the song is cleaner and more polished without the additional ad-libs.
Regardless of opinion, this rare “alternate version” has sparked a wave of nostalgia among long-time SONEs (Girls’ Generation fans).
Would you have preferred to hear the original version of “Genie” with Jessica’s ad-lib?
