Crazy is a 7 out of 10, a bop.
1 800 is pissing me off, because it couldve been an 11 out of 10 but it's so damn repetitive and simple. If they only made it a full song with a real bridge and changed it up...FUCK. Somewhere around an 8 right now.
Crazier is a 9 out of 10 at least. Another fantastic ballad.
Pierot is a 5 out of 10. Very average.
Can either of them dethrone aespa? That's all I care about
You and me both. Crazy is a bop but that dont mean it's gonna chart high in Korea. I'm actually pissed about something else (HotNFun sounding like a potential 11 out of 10 megabop that should have been the title but only if they made it into a real 4 minute song with different lyrics and a rock bridge instead of being so repetitive omg).
lsf going to be a staple spotify global and billboards customer
BlackpinkHouse they might just be the top group in the end
Did you like the teasers?
I'm still not over Smart tbh. It's the SOTY in terms of singles/titles at this point, it's so addictive now. That and 
Supernova (i hate giving Aespa props for anything these days given MYS toxicity on twitter).
Every song in the teasers sounds like a potential bop except for Pierrot or whatever that's called. LSRFM tracks grow on you (i'm listening to Unforgiven and Fearless more and more these days) and usually it's their non titles that dominate (Impurities, Fire in the Belly, Swan, Flash, Fearnot). But Crazy sound pretty darn good.
I will have spotty internet for a week so i wont be able to zombie stream like i used to before 
Display MorePeople often confuse “good” with “special “
That’s how I feel about MHJ, I’m sure she’s good at her job but the type of work she does isn’t so special that it can’t be replaced and I think being special is different from being good.
Some examples of what I consider “special” : great music producers, great idols. Even these can be replaced ofc but imo the loss here will be felt more acutely.
MHJ is good but not special. SM replaced her and was fine. HYBE can replace her and be fine.
She had me fooled. I gave her all the credit for bringing a cultural reset into KPop with NJ's casting, their sound and visual concepts.
But now, it seems like she stole everything from groups like that Japanese GG Speed and the Mexican group, and all of NJ music is just retread stuff from some rando artist named Pink Pantherers. Even the members themselves were picked by Source, they werent even handpicked by her i think.
I considered her a true visionary before 
and she is def not that. She still should get credit for concocting the right mix of sound and concepts. Good rather than visionary.
Display Moremy previsions:
- MHJ buys Ador back with her stock options (and probably goes under kakao)
.
I had you pegged as a troll alt account lol. But now i think you're just an SM stan that is token stanning New Jeans as a way to take down Hybe.
I think Yama is the only true NJ stan on this site.
I don't hate this as much as I used to
lol, i think there are other examples of a label hiring a 3rd party to manage an act under them. Hybe could make a deal with Teddy where Teddy gets a certain percentage in exchange for using his connections to promote NJ.
Regarding specific promotions, I dont think any Bunny has to worry about the members being left out of brand deals after what we saw with BP and seeing as how the members already have big deals established. Teddy just has to continue or expand these. We know Teddy has connections in the West to help NJ continue to maintain and expand its presence here. Teddy also probably gained a ton of expertise on concert and tour prep with 2NE1 and Blackpink.
I think the biggest issue (aside from that dang blasted Meow taking up all his time) is the musical direction. Hybe and Teddy and NJ themselves would have to work hard to come up with something that will continue NJ success.
Ideally, Teddy could just let whoever has come up with NJ's direction (from Att/Hybe Boy to Ditto/OMG to Supershy to Sweet/Bubblegum) continue evolving their sound but i dont know if those folks who produced this sound are loyal only to MHJ or if it's even possible to get all of them to agree to work with Teddy (if it's just 1 or 2 producers fine, but if it's 4 or 5 it might be difficult). We know NJ cant depend on Teddy for their sound cause i can already hear the Tokkis screaming about empty chorus beat drops and dated EDM trap sounds and because Teddy will be too busy with Meow and Somi.
Well, if this is true, part 1 of my prediction will have come to pass. MHJ getting tossed out means that NJ needs a new manager.
NJ is extremely profitable and successful, even with the damage they took because of MHJ's disgusting narcissism, they are still clearly beloved. So Hybe will hopefully be smart and keep them together.
However, since there's so much bad blood between NJ families and Hybe, i dont think anyone within Hybe would be trusted by NJ families. And things will be MUCH BETTER for all involved if they were to buy in to MHJ's replacement.
Enter the Black Knight of Kpop.
It would be a LOT cleaner if Teddy could just sell Meow to another label. Then Teddy would be freed up to become NJ creative director along with Somi. (Rose probably only needs guidance/advice/connections from him not music). New Jeans and Somi would be manageable. But adding Meow to this will make things a lot more difficult.
Still, where there's a will there's a way. He already has the trust of everyone in the industry, nobody has a bad word to say about him and that's unbelievably rare, i mean just look at how much hate JYP, YG, Bang, LSM, etc gets. The worst criticism is just his musical style and inability to provide consistent comebacks.
Make it happen, Bang!!
And this is written by a person who is in such a fandom as ARMY, well, let's remember a lot of interesting things from the recent persecution of Seungkwan, the eternal attacks on NewJeans, an attempt to justify obvious offenses, the persecution of left-wing people based on the fact that they looked at BTS the wrong way, the eternal copium about some achievements of BTS as well as 100 articles per second on this account, constant whining on the Internet that their group is belittled by everyone in the world and this is only from the recent. Now is the golden age, when ARMY gets what they deserve in full, by humiliating their artist. Everything they love in relation to those people they are against.
What in Sam hill is this referring to? You talking about NPRK simping Jeollado weirdos? Those commies should be jailed on sight ffs.
Love how tanned skin looks, i hate how Kpop has evolved with the whitening skin cream nonsense.
But overall, she is an average idol visually. Minju, Yuri, and Karina clear her in terms of looks.
And in terms of tanned idols, Yel dont even come close to Yooa 2016. This might be peak body goals in all of Kpop history tbh.
That was something that came to mind for me as well. Do we know what exactly constitutes the "defamation" in question?
If these are US citizens doing the speech of their own will, then I don't know if this will work? Doesn't the Speech Act basically protect US citizens from forum-shopping judgments like this if the foreign jurisdictions laws don't meet America's standards?
Yes, these lawsuits would be very difficult to win. US has very high standards for proving defamation, 100x higher than Korea, especially for public figures like LSRFM - Source Music must not only prove that they were hurt by the conduct and that the defendent lied which resulted in the damage, Source also has to prove actual malice which is a very difficult standard. It's not worth it for most public figures, unless the libel is truly serious (like someone falsely accusing them of sex assault, murder, etc).
However, the lawsuit still has value for Source and any Kpop label. It will force the defendants to probably pay significant money for attorneys. Names of site owners will be made public. We know how Kpoppies are, this could turn into a media frenzy within Kpop social media.
No such thing as "outdated" in music. Why would anyone let "music trends" determine their listening habits? It's asinine. If "outdated" were a real thing, nobody would be listening to MJ, Beatles and Bruce, yet every day, billions do.
As for the song, it's not bad actually. Better than most pop songs released today.
Lesserafim was literally the only group brave enough to do real choreo (not the kiddie choreo that 90 percent of other GGs are doing these days) with zero backtrack and zero autotune. They got slammed with a 6 month hate train for it, even though everyone else woulda sounded no better.
Imagine some of these other groups trying to do Easy choreo with no autotune and no backtrack, some wouldnt even finish the dance they'd be wheezing after 38 seconds lbr here. 
Giving me Mori vibes tbh.
Notice how she actually sounds like a real Broadway/classical singer and not the thin, reedy, unsupported screaming y'all brag about for your faves. Only a few 4th gen vocalists can compete like Chaewon, Sakura, Yuri, Yena, Chaeyeon, Minju and Eunbi. 
Looks like MHJ is plagiarizing Chaewon who had the most popular 4th gen cover of alltime, with a Hikaru Utada song.
