Upsetting people is precisely how to get your critique to fall on no one's ears.

No, having crappy taste and/or the inability to defend your position will do that. Exhibit A: You.

Quote from Ves

Well since the review seems to be at an end...

have they actually listened to the song? Or KPOP? KPOP = beat drop? The song definitely had an "unnecessary" rap part for Kazuha and it's anti Black Pink... Where? The review seems like a bunch of nonsense wrapped up in prose.

The only part I do agree with was that it wasn't fragmented like some of the more recent KPOP releases we've had. Of course that all goes sideways when they try to equate fragmented songs with western musical copypasta? What? That's the one thing they mentioned that DOES seem to be uniquely KPOP. That's not what's playing on the Hot 100.

"'unnecessary rap part of Kazuha" ... It wasn't unnecessary, nor was it rap? Was Mick Jagger rapping in "Sympathy for the Devil"?

You would be hard pressed to find others who would disagree with me on me saying Western pop music has gone more fragmented from the early Noughts on. So don't try to contradict me because you feel the need to contradict me.

Discounting streaming their music, that is.

But likewise horrible or not is decided by the beholder. Treating a subjective quality as an objective fact ensures plenty of room for error.

Stop using the term "subjective," like you're actually trying to mean something by it. Of course it's subjective.

trust me i care. i'm one of the biggest lsfm stans on this site. it's just that the bp drag will fire up people and immediately make them not take your point seriously. and you did make a really good point.

If you're worrying about upsetting people when you are critiquing, then you shouldn't comment at all.

You're done now? Or do I need to repeat myself.

Quote from FeLiNa

in b4 ban. don't disagree majorly with the main post though. just don't see the need for the BP drag.

YOU don't see the need for it, because YOU don't care for music. I do.

OP, carry on with your review. I'm interested, too! Just don't call any users any names.

If you're an idiot, you're an idiot. And you need to be called out on it, it does nobody any service carrying on like they're not an idiot, especially to the idiot himself. You understand?

Quote from Kataphract

I agree that variety is always good to shake things up

but please don't put down others to do it lol

"please don't put down others"

Or that's part of critiquing, you absolute mong.

Careful bruv

I ain't a serious blink but some other blinks on here might bring a little heat at that.

As opposed to not being a "serious" blink? You don't say so...

The only thing they're serious about is watching horrible dramas out of the mere obligation of having one of the members of their favorite group in it.

Quote from Ves

Nah, I was watching you write your review. Continue.

You're welcome. I shall.

Quote from Ves

You should have just let this user continue to have a conversation with themselves

Thank you for contributing to the discourse. If you're done, you can leave.

Quote from BlackpinkHouse

Wut? I dont get the part about the song not being an overt pandering to the West...This song sounds exactly like what i would expect when listening to our sorry ass Hot 100 or What's Trending playlist here.

Beat drops and awesome lyrical rap are precisely what makes Kpop stand out from the ultra simplistic, generic, stripped down stuff you hear locally. The fact that Fearless lacks these traditional Kpop things makes it more likely that this is pandering to the West, not less likely.

"Beat drops and awesome lyrical rap are precisely what makes Kpop stand out from the ultra simplistic, generic, stripped down stuff you hear locally."

No, they don't.

This song is anti-Black Pink. And we need more of these in K-pop, and not just a mere copypasta pop musical version of the West which is so prevalent now in K-pop, nauseatingly so.

Good on them.

"Fearless" by Le Sserafim is refreshing. It is confident enough in its songwriting so it doesn't sully itself by adding a unnecessary rap part or a superfluous beat drop or an overt pandering to the West by gloating in it's being fragmented-- one thing flows into another, in that it is an actual song.
