I think the Macy’s day parade performance was Aespa’s jump-the-shark moment

Don’t worry there will be no boring days in kpop once jypn debuted 3 main dancers 2 main vocals 2 sub vocals… they can do all on live!!!!

laughing is a good thing

There were people laughing?

edit: went back to watch. And well, yeah, they could have put some more life into but it wasn't that bad.

It’s giving BP first US promotion but after that they gained confidence and did well after

They tried at least the circonstances weren’t in their favor so ...

was it really that bad? i'm in nyc but i slept through the parade and missed them lmao

eta it wasn't even that bad. a little awkward but it's a parade and it's been really cold outside

????? no it doesn't, and bp were on another level since debut year performances in korea

some yall need therapy

but keep in mind, it’s also one of their first performances in front of a live Western audience and it was freezing cold.

it takes a while to learn how to hype up real audiences, and I’m sure they’ll improve over time

I want to judge for myself, what performance are you talking about?

no what are you on?

I didnt watch the video but when i first heard about this, i wanted them to do Next Level. I think it's a better song to do in these conditions. Savage has more girl crush "attitude" and it's hard to pull that off on a rando float in a parade lol. NL isnt ideal either but i think it would have worked better.

But i do agree with others who think that none of Aespa's girl crush singles really fit the parade. They wouldve been better off doing a fun festive cover, but then you'd have a million threads shading the girls for not performing original music, blah blah blah.

Compared to Coachella it was lackluster

Quote from godkingteshub

We’ve only seen them in closed studio sets but once live in front of Westerners it seems like the mystique is gone. People were laughing

I checked to see the response from journalists and some posted on twitter that Aespa didn't even pretend to lip syncing and that they are energy on stage was low. Others were questioning why they performed being a savage on Thanksgiving.

you mean this irrelevant person?

Even the qrts making more rounds than her tweet
