"That girl is singing OFF key ON the record"

is an iconic quote by the legendary Whitney Houston, when talking about 80s pop sensation, Paula Abdul.

Now, to the topic at hand, please feel free to share songs or parts of songs by kpop artists where you feel the same. What I mean, I sometimes hear a kpop song, everything is fine, until it gets to a vocal part in the song that totally ruins the vibe of what was going on - either it's poorly mixed or most likely poorly sung, and it makes me throw the whole song into trash.

I'll give an example:

The whole "you and I is more than like..." part manages to ruin this quick serviceable bop for me.

I feel like I have to mention, this does not apply solely to girl groups, you can give examples of soloist or boygroup songs that give you the same feeling.

Wonyoung's part? Yeah, I don't understand it either.

Mina's part in Queen of Hearts too.

The whole "you and I is more than like..."

Interesting, what turns you off about it? Cause I'm the same, it feels like it's off key

wonyoung in the chorus is like fingernails on a chalkboard

The mixing of the whole song is so awful. I honestly don’t know why SM did it. Their songs and SM songs in general were never this badly mixed before. So weird.

are the vocals loud or something

Wut? With autotune infesting every song in pop, there is not a single note that is ever off key in any official production...unless it's a conscious choice by the producer. You can literally change a recorded pitch to any other pitch known to man with the press of a button.

Queen of Hearts is perfect, go stream pink vermin instead of insulting Twice
