Ive always wondered when will we ever see a Filipino male idol in kpop. Maybe this is my personal wish because I find Filipino boys very handsome :gaycat6: and also they generally tend to be really good singers and have that stereotype going on.

 

The closest we have is Jay from Boys Planet and I really hope he debuts :WAP:

No :rip:

 

Video was pretty, song was a once-and-done stream.

All Eyes On Me was better than Flower but I'm not into it either.

 

And being objective, I enjoyed the other three solos. :deadbanana2:

Forget Jisoo, I even prefer Momoriah's singing over Jihyo's singing. I love me some Jihyo mommy, but homegirl has one of the worst vocal tones in Kpop. And I'm not trolling or anything.

Gaeul is the real star of IVE and she will blossom like the true star she is in the future. She will probably never overtake Wonyoung in Korea, but she has potential to be the "Lisa" aka the international darling of the group.

The way she's foreshadowing her position in the future aka the queen on the throne: :worship:

In case y'all didn't know, yes Jisoo, aka Jisus aka Miss Korea aka the visual of Kpop is my favorite idol of all time, and if y'all baguettes say anything bad about Korea's darling, we're going to fight. Enough is enough, no more disrespect :redface:

Deflect from what? Miss Korea is indeed way more influential than Miss Strawberry everywhere around the world which automatically makes her the bigger it-girl, like it's no competition? :gaycatina1:You act as if Koreans aren't the biggest success stans and don't kiss the ground the BP members walk on and don't view them as "national treasures".  

 

If Jisoo and Wonyoung went to the same event in Korea, who would be the most talked about person and get the most press etc.?  :toofunny3:

 

My bet:

Now I like miss Jisoo but you know this is not true :rip:

miss Strawberry is on the same level as Jisoo in singing, is miles better at performing, and the stage presence? we don’t even need to compare. Wonyoung constantly shines on stage even though she’s not technically a dancer. Like her charms are on full display and she knows how to work a camera while performing. Same can’t be said about Jisoo.
it looks like BP’s mega-popularity screws with people’s perceptions most of the times in here. 
you can argue about people shitting on Jisoo without lying about anybody else lol

 

not me defending miss strawberry though :rip: #JusticeForLIZ !!!

 

:cm:
and you act as if Jisoo doesn’t have an advantage of being in BP since the beginning and having had international exposure riding on the coattails of BP’s global success since the beginning. No one is denying her popularity, but it’s worth noting how hers and Wonyoung’s situations and journeys have been very different. Yet I’ve noticed you always seem to be triggered when anyone mentions or praises Wonyoung for her popularity OR if anyone disses Jisoo then you have to bring WY’s name. So maybe that mindset is the problem, not WY or Jisoo.:cm:

Yeah it's weird how there isn't any Filipino idol cause there's this stereotype about almost every Filipino can belt like crazy, and them having the best singers in the world  :clap3:

Agree :clap3:I know knetz are xenophobic against foreigner and especially Southeast Asians but that hasn’t stopped Thai idols from being popular around the world so why not Filipino idols :gaycat6:

Absolutely! Honestly the whole album is fab (and a huge upgrade from Purpose imo).

 

Taeyeon is my top forever soloist, even if Nayeon eventually out-qualities her (not likely, 'I'm Nayeon' could have been a fluke!)

I never defended this lol, unlike you trying to defend ms jisewer and momoriahs talents :rip: I can agree with you on the tone preference though! I like jimins tone just like you like momos

 

Jimin stays one of the most talented dancers of his generation though :bird:

Not when CUPID's success is one of the most organic out there. Even people who doesn't give a **** about Kpop at all listens to it. They just got lucky it got viral in Tiktok, sometimes it's the simplest and most obvious explanation.

Taeyeon's vocals are beautiful. Her solo music has some of my favorite bsides

OH LMAO

 

Well, Rose is one disbandment away from me stanning her again, if she actually still enjoys music/being an artist and not a commercial mannequin.

Lisa is a little cringey but her charisma is off the charts and both her songs are fun. Money is an anthem (despite the royalty free sample).

Jennie's was released back when I was a stan so more nostalgia factor there. Its saved by the last instrumental, because she's almost as equally as untalented as Jisoo.

 

Jisoo literally offered nothing and I don't think she's cool enough for "great gowns" to be a reason to enjoy it. Actually, I think there is absolutely nothing to enjoy about Jisoo's solo past the first watch and seeing the "looks" for the first time.

Every release is stellar and she has that comfort of nostalgia as a GG fan but also something that always feels new and fresh (even when she's just ripping off western songs teehee.)

 

Everything why "I" to "Why" is pure quality. :jonny3: Even her driblets like "Blue", whew! She's powerful.

I think they’re about equal as dancers (still prefer jimins fluidity), but let’s be honest jimin used to be a much more capable singer than he is right now and constant misuse of his voice over the years from ACTUALLY singing live at concerts has degraded it to what it is now. Momoriah has never displayed even a morsel of vocal talent at any point in her life, so I think it’s a moot comparison lol. 
 

also while jimin is definitely still way below average as a vocalist now he most definitely did have in ear issues that made that encore even worse than it would’ve been (he did better at the next encore and during Lee mujins show). Even now he’s still definitely a better vocalist than momo :rip:

 

also jimin is probably the least talented vocalist (at least who claims to be a vocalist) that I stan. My other faves are Taeyeon and chungha so it’s not like I’m making a theme of stanning vocally untalented people like you :coffee2:

She wasn't originally my SNSD bias it was Sunny but I fell in love with Taeyeon when I heard her belting in "Step Back"

Oh, the conversation just shifted naturally, not because I was deflecting or anything, because you acted as if you didn't stan Miss Strawberry:

So I reminded you that you do indeed stan Wonyoung and backed up my claim with an example from the past you said   :giraffe:

You've always defended Miss Strawberry in here though and stan her? I even remember you claiming that she was a bigger it-girl than Jisoo :redface:

Hmm maybe it’s a subconscious thing, because I don’t actively seek her content unless the algorithm recommends her to me. But I do like her visuals and charisma so maybe you’re right about that :gaycatina1:
