This is what happened during Queendom season 2. I was one of the global evaluators that watched the performances online in one of the episodes before it aired. There were voice cracks in a few of the songs but during the actual broadcast, mnet edited them and covered them up. They added a pre-recorded version of the song so the ones watching when it aired only heard the cleaned up/edited version. It is what it is.

Yes this happens a lot tbh, that’s why i get sick watching queendom bc they even cleaned up hyolyn’s performances. And yes, that performance of aespa was cleaned up, too lol. But u just cant clean it up on live tv snd finetune everything somehow make the transitions of prerecord-> live perfect.

U know what i miss choreography where they would just let the one singing stand there and sing and emote. These days, everyone that has lines are still dancing, like fck that’s insane.

Quote from neigl

Its common nowadays but isnt there still a difference how loud the backtrack is and how loud they put on their mic?

Isnt that up to the Idols? There must be differences between individual Idols.

These people think that somehow the mics became loud on a “specific part” no transition whatsoever and somehow has the same volume spectrum as the previous “backtrack” that was playing. That’s insane thinking imo LMAO. If you’ve ever been behind the mics, you literally can’t distinguish that. The voices of the performers alone are a mystery, you wont know how loud their voices are, much more finetuning it to the prerecords? LOL, delusional.

Quote from omnimorphism

It's time we establish a threshold for live singing

LMAO, yea. And is somehow only applicable on aespa. Am i shitting? Did you guys give 20pages to IVE who was also quite literally 90% lipped on their stage history? Or am i tripping but wasn’t NMIXX debut showcase live+prerecorded as well and it was praised? These people are insane, but okay 🤧

Quote from ISaidISaid

You actually won’t. They are not singing the full song, their mic is on but for the majority of the song they are lip sync’ing it.

This is quite common in kpop these days. The few adlib you hear inbetween won’t make the performance live.

Again, literally u will hear a mic feed difference, lmao. You cant just expect a music format directly from speaker to have the exact decibel a mic feed have. If they’re not singing despite the mics being on and they suddenly sang, there will be a BIG difference lmao. Unless, the mic feeds are available for the people posting it on twitter, and they can tamper it. But they can’t bc it’s a damn fancam. You can’t also do it on a damn LIVE TV 💀

delulu kpop fans being delulu

i admire kpop companies for being able to brainwash their fans and convince them that singing is live when it's not. i aspire to be like that

giel you’re the only one delulu here. You think they can’t best their coachella set who’s only proof of live singing was some very minor off-notes? LMAO.

Quote from doesitneedsaying

i already watched the whole clip. it's prerecorded. but at the end of beat drop part giselle and karina were live, and some of the ningning and gisellse's vocals at the end were live. and that's it, everything else was lip synced

LMAOOO, you literally only singled out that one moment where they changed the lyrics so that you can keep this “it’s pre recorded” agenda. Literally, pre-recorded (and then suddenly going live) you will hear a very clear mic discrepancy bc the feed from the mic will be different from actual speakers (which is where the prerecord will be coming from). That never happened on Next Level LA showcase, lmao. Unless, there’s some magic wherein they can literally manipulate decibels, you WILL hear a prerecorded -> live switch on a concert 💀

Quote from doesitneedsaying

this isn't live

i don't think kpop fans know how live vocals sound anymore

LMAO, that was live af, and the only shit that was on background was the “ooh oohs” LMAO. 2nd post chorus, literally, everyone else dropped their mics to dance aside Karina, and you can hear that the harmony was disturbed snd Karina was the only one singing.

Also, literally, Karina messed up a lyrics sometime and did “doing me regardless” opting out the I’m and it stuck out to me bc it was cute. Anyways, rambling aside, this was live LOL. You guys are going all the way to say this isn’t, huh 🤣

Quote from vilavanilla

CAWMAN is definitely an interesting idea, but I think I will appreciate it more if there were more voice acting. Especially the comic part is just not working for me because I'm trying to see exciting actions here not reading lol

Ohh i thought the comic parts were short enough but i get u

Quote from vilavanilla

I think it would be better if there are more acting from the girls and more dialogue because I feel like it's too quiet? As someone who loves super hero and action movie this episode is a little underwhelming for me, especially after watching the first episode with full live action from Winter. It is definitely an interesting idea to combine cartoon/anime, comic, and life action but maybe it's just not for me.

I liked the action scenes in here a little bit better. It’s basically CAWMAN all throughout and also embodies aespa’s numerous “verses” i guess. It gives quirkiness to Kwangya itself, because it looks to me that that place defies the laws of physics as seen with them transitioning from 2D to 3D. Not only is it stylish, it explains the nature of Kwangya itself. And it makes sense too because Kwangya is a purely digital world (that Ningning can hack and terraform LOL). It’s giving me Kill Bill campiness and tbh this kind of thing isn’t even done by Marvel themselves lol.

and yet aespa has more engagements. The same for their twitter followers vs engagements, LMAO. aespa has lots of haters that stalks them after all.

Seems like illusion is climbing melon.

Bop bop bop omg

this is thwir best logo yet, it looks like a motorcycle too. Definitely giving cyberpunk y2k fast&furious barbies LMAO.

Quote from TheBotter

A Friday release doesn't really matter.

With how melon works now overall it wont really have much of an effect on it's overall charting just the first few hours where it might not show in 'latest music' section...but with a Friday release it might motivate their fans to stream harder and buy more copies.

I doubt they are targeting the west fully with this release and more so hoping their US fan base can push for higher sales and mayber a top 10-5(or more) spot on the BB200 album chart.

I think it will have an effect on gaon debut. It was never really about melon.

Girl two months after release, NL is still fighting big names on top10. This year has been empty house so far lmao, aside PSY, Taeyeon (who’s been inconsistent). IU didnt even comeback, no BTS yet, no viral girlgroup like Brave Girls, did lee mujin comeback? I dont remember, anyways, first half is empty house.

I suggest that nevies focus on getting that KMA’s daesang first instead of keeping track with Next Level. Like?

I think tomboy might be a soty contender with invu and love dive. Maybe but there’s potential comebacks for bts and blackpink, and aespa is fairly GP-popular as well.

Well i mean it is a bad encore, and obviously they have public’s eyes so they’re getting a lot of cooments. Lastly, it’s also a fact that the shield here is severe, considering what other encore performances y’all have made thinkpieces about.LBR, if a rookie SM/JYP/YG artist sang like this encore, it would be bad.

If it’s bad it’s bad, then we move. I hope they improve in the future. I thought SOURCE would train them vocally tho bc GFriend was a standsrd for me.

Quote from killthisfenty

It’s not like Winter and Karina are the main are aespa main attractors (Ningning is doing numbers but the gap still big. )

I don’t expect 4 rookies members to have the same popularity against two members which have been in the industry for years.

Wonyoung is the it girl of the group, and Yujin is quite popular she’s Versace global ambassador so yes the brand deal are here. Rei and Liz have a brand deal. And all the members (minus WY) will be on WKorea and Dazed this month.

Give them some time at least. BP didn’t suddenly bag big brands in 4 months.

Ningning and Giselle still have relative popularity, though? Whether it's bad or not, many people still know them. Plus their fancam views while the gap with Karina and Winter is big, is still quite large when you context it to other group's solo fancams.
