so......I'm sure majority of people was expecting TXT to be the one to perform , because they the only kpop group besides BlackPink that got nominated for more than 1 award.
plus they could've performed "Do It Like That" with the Jonas Brothers on stage.
Stray Kids are cool and all, but their songs are NOT general public friendly AT ALL.
Especially to a American audience, who already had a hard time warming up to BTS when they first came on the scene with a kpop song.
Me just thinking of Stray Kids performing "S -Class" or any of that other noise nonsense to a American audience, in front of REAL worldwide producers, rappers, singers.........i mean no shade, but I doubt they gonna be impressed and the songs are gonna be horrible
The only good thing to look at would be the dancing, and even then, they'll probably see them as some random boy group who dancing on the stage singing foreign words that don't know or care about.
I would've even accepted BlackPink performing a second time at the VMAs instead, cuz at least people actually know who they are and like them.
