I guess it goes to show how much vocal color can really add to a song. NGL I was surprised, but I definitely do prefer the BP version.
True, lately I've been thinking that blackpink songs are actually one of the hardest to be covered if you tried to sound like the original (both by human or "AI"). Mainly on Jennie's and Lisa's raps.
And yeah, vocal color is important and that's why I would disagree if someone toss aside vocal color to determine one's vocal quality. (Hell, it kinda even makes you fit to certain type of genre)
