Blue was my most anticipated track going off the first teaser, but the second teaser was not giving AS much. It still may be the best song on the album though, we’ll see..

 

while BTS’s vocal line isn’t the strongest in kpop Tae is still 2nd best between the members, so I wouldn’t say his vocals are limited but he’s differently not pushing as much with these releases, they’ve been sounding laid back and easy (like Seven.) I hope the rest of the songs have him challenging himself and his own limits more. We need a pied piper/stigma/film out moment

 

(I agree with the English pronunciation— which is why the english track For Us is not shaping up to be my favorite rn. The US continues to undermine and exclude them so I don’t get why they keep releasing english songs esp when he sounds loads better in Korean)

what are you talking about... he's a terrible singer 

saying he's the second best in the group says more about the group than his singing capabilities

I hope not, but SM does have a habit of having a "chosen one" who they payola/force everywhere 

 

WayV is kinda over tbh. They could make music in English (and be good at it) but there's not really a market for it. Plus they are the lowest selling NCT unit and damaged by Lucas scandal too. 

 

It's a pity but they are kind of in a bad place right now. I wish SM could have used more of the WayV members in other/new units though instead of leaving them in the dungeon. 

 

Yeah that's why I mentioned Xiaojun specifically because he got a lot of attention in MAW but SM kinda just ghosted. It's the same with Yuta who was paid dust in their Japan albums and promotions even though he is popular there (with Japanese K-Pop consumers) and he's a native speaker.

Yuta is back to being the only Japanese representation in NCT. If SM gives him the Winwin treatment, that’ll put a dent in NCT’s pockets for sure. His stans don’t play about him.

he kinda ate here

Dancing is good on stage but at the end of the day. We listen to music, a good song is one thing but good vocals ( runs, adlibs, vibratos, harmonizations etc. ) can truly elevate the experience

Kinda ironic because kai is known for his dancing skills and it’s not like Sehun is super talented. The shade 

At least they take vocal lessons (Sehun’s growth over the years is undeniable). They understand being stagnant won’t do

he had to throw a few group members under the bus to get the point across but he's right

Seven is also laid back but Jungkook vocals  weren’t. A lot of switch with his vocal range, adlibs, and high notes etcc… 

 

im waiting for Blue. An hommage to old school r&b definitely need some vocals moments imo.

Not even thee Karina has on her own vogue Korea cover  

 

Miss Rei gagged when she booked a vogue japan cover a year into her career. Japan Princess 

I mean bagging a Vogue korea cover is a big achievement. Aespa doesn’t have a group cover so I don’t see how Karina would get one before her own group lol. Except if you was talking about these frauds that are digital covers lol 

 

No bc the fact that Rei was the first Japanese idol bagging a Vogue cover. And also the fact that she got a Vogue cover before her own Instagram account

Kai is not the best vocalist  but he’s not dragging the group down

These digitals covers doesn’t count . They aren’t real covers and are just released between the monthly printed releases

I can't explain why I'm feeling this impending doom regarding the way Karina's career is being handled like pls SM

Digital or not, it still a cover

And it’s still not considered as a real Vogue cover sorry not sorry  !

 

SM is waisting Karina popularity which is weird bc SM was known for the giving a lot of solo gigs to their groups but also Karina was pushed a lot … Really don’t understand all the strategy around Aespa

I never understood his appeal and why he was the most pushed vocalist of NCT? He also kinda looks like a piranha 

 

 

 

No idea. I’m still confused on why he was even on make a wish, he sounded good but still.

[naomi24]

Listening to New Dance right now and WOW say what you want about their music but XG videography is so good

 

ALL OF THIS IN 2023.... !!

The way Karina is not treated as an it girl never ceases to confuse me. With Giselle there’s blatant xenophobia but why are they not pushing their most popular member?
