Is there a reason Loona didn't do Blue Moon (Hyolyn x Changmo)? One of them suggested it and it was a hit on the charts. It fits their "lunar" theme too.
 

To add to what everyone has said about the Shake It performance, Shake It is a very vocal forward song. The vocals and bouncy melody in the verses drive the song so breaking that up so much with skits and "acting" plus not really having someone capable of belting that last phase to give the song that added burst of energy and dynamics just made for a really flat, boring performance.

 

Blue Moon is one of Hyolyn's least vocally challenging songs tho I get it's probably still a reach for these girls. Also, it's a chill bop ala Loona's Butterfly. I think they could have done so much more with it and much naturally.

 

Last thing, I'm reading some translated articles from the original 2nd round recording and apparently someone from WJSN's voice cracked harsh in Navillera and Minyoung's voice cracked on her high note round one but Mnet cleaned it up for them. Yet Hyolyn's vocals seem pretty raw even when she is doing somersaults in the air. Is this the only way to bridge the gap?

Oh it has the same sample as Fly from Momoland.

LOONA should have chosen a less vocally challenge SISTAR song like Alone or So Cool 

 

 

Like they could easily pull sth like this with Alone

Also I just realized how absurd it is to consider GIDLE 4th gen. They debuted in 2018, only 4 years after MAMAMOO/Red Velvet.

 

3rd gen essentially started in around 2013/2014 and yall are saying a group who debuted 4-5 years after is already a new gen? :deadbanana:

 

2nd gen started in 2006/2007 but SISTAR/Apink etc. are not considered 3rd gen :deadbanana4: 

 

Peak of 3rd gen is 2017-2018 with RV, BP, TWICE, MAMAMOO, GFriend, Momoland, etc. all snatching big hits. How is that the start of a new gen??????

 

People going to be screaming 15th gen in 2025 at this rate :lmao:

Soobin voice carcked in the second Navillera, which is funny because the online community seems to care way more than the audience that was in the actual venue because most of the present audience were praising Brave Girls performance, while the online community was trashing Minyoung for her voice crack. 


But we also have in perspective that Minyoung was literally coughing her lungs out right before and right after the performance as she was still having effects of covid for her breathing.

Surprisingly it’s essentially the start of their decline despite being one of their best tracks. Their last real hit was STEP in Korea.

Does this thread know what a bimbo actually is :deadbanana:

People aren't criticizing how Loona "didn't go down the bimbo route" for Shake It, people are criticizing how the performance felt like a mediocre High School production of Grease and how it didn't show any of Loona's capabilities as a group, how the most entertaining parts of the performance were the gimmicks and how they failed to make the song their own. Trust :cm:
