Is overperforming as bad as underperforming?

That comment :

“I’d rather see someone overdo it than do the bare minimum.”

Yes, for me it is bad at least when you are in a group/team

Doing the bare minimum or overshadowing your group isn’t good.

Some examples:

- When there's a rap duet in your group's song, going back and forth... you both have to be in the same mood,

If one is rapping normally and the other is yelling and screaming throughout their verse, it's just going to sound messy.

You both have to shout or stay in the normal verse. (you must reach an agreement)

- Dance: Lots of people have something to say about this one.

Unfortunately I agree with fans who criticize idols who do the bare minimum and I validate the criticism (as long as it doesn't go off topic).

I hate defending something that is indefensible, something that needs to be pointed out to be corrected.

But it's ironic that Kpop fans often turn a blind eye when they see someone overperforming. And praise them by saying that they gives 100% of their energy while the others don't.

No, the others don't do less, it's your fav who is overexcited for some reason.

I've seen someone overperform in a slow song when the song didn't require it.

Conclusion, it's not that fans are never satisfied (or maybe they are) but balance is important in a team.

Quote from Taemin-Identity

For example in Shinee when someone is performing at the center they will give more energy, while others at both sides give normal energy.

And I like it, cuz you can see that others are letting the centre shine and the centre is giving 200% of their energy, and it is the same for every person when they will rotate their positions.

But as well when they go solo they unleash their full energy(unlike they don’t try to outshine each other in group performances), so their cohesiveness as a group is still there

Giving more energy during your turn (if it's not a duo verse) isn't overperforming, it's just doing what it's supposed to do.

Giving 200% of your energy during the entire performance is overperforming because you steal the show. It's not "you and your friends", it's team work...coeshion is important

No???

What is even over performing?

Get off your couch and touch grass.

Their jobs is literally to be on stage and draw attention.

Then entertain.

sorry it's not "you and your friends" it's team work.

Overperforming isn't the only way to entertain

Quote from icyruios

Is working harder worse than working less?

work harder? because you think the others don't do their job?

Just because you exaggerated even if it's not your turn, you work harder? what is this logic.

Quote from JesseAlex

I'd much prefer to see artists input more effort a.k.a. over-perform than do very little to the point where it seems like they really don't want to be there.

Because watching them over-perform would not feel like a waste of time as a viewer and I'd feel entertained.

So, in answering the question, no.

It's painful to watch as a viewer because you've come to see a team and all the attention is going to be on that person for the entire concert.

And the next day, people will only talk about how great they were, how they stole the show.

I don't think it's worth it at all.

Solo performance is another topic

But you said no, I guess "X and Friends" doesn't bother fans that much after all.

Quote from thelightoftruth

I don't think overperforming is worse than underperforming but I agree with ensuring a good balance and playing your part.

If you've got someone else in the centre for a killing part I don't want the main dancer to be popping off on the edges by themselves.

Thanks, at least someone got it.

Showing off more than anyone else, given your best level during your turn.. it's normal, it's your turn, the focus is on you.

But by doing that in someone else's part or when you're in a duet verse.. you just making the others like they're not giving enough (when in fact they did very well too).

This thread isn't based of some comments online. I've just saw plenty videos of some idols ( that i'm not going to mention) that do it. And just like lazy performer, that "it's my show" sometimes piss me off.
