Why does "Doctor! Doctor!" sound like it could be the name of a BL, lmao.

Quote from StanGIDLE

Yeah, Kazuha is interesting because there's a lot of potential. I think the main issue with her is many people form their opinion based on title tracks that she wasn't compatible with. There has been a couple of songs that weren't compatible for her and gave her lines that didn't work well imo. I thought their Japanese single star signs is something fits her well. I don't think they will make a song like that their main title track. However, I sensed a lot of potential in how to use Kazuha because I thought she did a great job.

I agree that songs that have Yunjin and the other involved works better for each member. I liked watching the behind the scenes of crazier because you can see how Yunjin was able to guide them into a solid performance. I think they just need to find a balance and work with them because they're all capable of performing well.

Absolutely!

None of their title tracks are compatible with her except MAYBE Fearless. I also loved watching Crazier bts cuz that actually reminds me of how Soyeon guides each GIDLE member and gives them tips on how to sound better and I feel Yunjin is the best for this because she's the most vocally experienced member.

Honestly, it's not bad that Bae doesn't stand out. It's the thing that happens when you're in a small group. She most likely has her fans and she does get her moments. It's better to have her in her current standing than to not being able to handle material given and people noticing. I think the good thing about that group they're all well rounded, so we won't see them get nitpicked like other groups.

Agreed!

Quote from StanGIDLE

Sometimes it makes me wonder if we need idols more involved in the process. I know Soyeon situation is unique, but I feel more should get involved. I noticed for Le Sserafim things go very well when Yunjin is involved in the process. I feel she should get more recognition for that because if you look at her credits she's been involved in many of the songs I love from them. It's also crazy she originally written perfect night but they decided it was better for the group to perform it.

Also, would like to highlight Belle because she seems to have a good ear and involved in some good songs. I know it's probably asking for a lot, but I think things would work out better if idols can collaborate with the producers because results will improve imo

I agree with this also.

The idols should be given an opportunity to play a bigger role in the production process so that they can improve their musical ear. I also think its a way to save money because why not just train your idols in producing so that they can become more self-dependent instead of spending money on fancy producers that may not even do a good job.

We learnt this about averages in grade school Yama which I guess you skipped.

Probably because he was too sassy smart.

Quote from StanGIDLE

The rapper role is usually neglected. I feel that role is usually given to an idol when they have nothing for them. There isn't much effort for that role except for idols like Lisa, Jennie, Moonbyul, Soyeon, Julie, Exy, Moon Sua, and a few others. Most of the time they just give the idol a role and give them weak material. I'm a fan of Giselle, but it does seem with Aespa the rapper role is something is neglected and they may have given her that role because they had nothing for her.

Kazuha topic is interesting because she's not an awful singer like many people say she is. The main issue is Hybe doesn't give Le Sserafim material to hear her proper tone. I think she has improved and it's impressive how much she has grown since she had limited training when compared to other idols.

Shuhua part is intersting because it feels more like hiding her. I think main issue she gets overshadowed because she was always the weakest vocalist, and the others are just much better. I think getting Shuhua in small dosage is for the best and Soyeon most likely knows that, which is why we don't really see articles or fans calling out her vocals

I like Bae, and Nmixx is a tough group to standout in. I agree with OP that they're using her well because she doesn't look lost while performing and has her moments in songs. I think Nmixx is one of the hardest groups to stand out in when you have 2 powerhouse vocalist in Haewon and Lily, and a stronger dancer in Kyujin. I think what works well with Nmixx they're well rounded, so each member gets to have their moment.

The main issue with some groups they want to to give them material that doesn't work for the talent. Rather than creating material to highlight their strengths. It's easy to single out an idol, but it's up to the company to provide material to hide certain weaknesses and show their strengths.

I agree with this, honestly.

A lot of companies have shown disregard for material that compliments their artists and I feel like that's the issue with most of the people that OP mentioned.

It's always frustrating to me when I see fans criticizing an idol for their weaknesses when they should focus more on the company that doesn't do more to highlight their strengths.

A perfect example of this is Giselle and Kazuha. Giselle is better suited for the rapper position but in a group where 3/4 members excel vocally, SM will not bother to highlight Giselle's strength in rapping despite her being the main rapper which is why a lot of fans consider Giselle to be the weakest member of AESPA, talent-wise. That is false. Giselle isn't the weakest in talents, she just doesn't get room to shine!

I see ace potential in Kazuha because she has a really beautiful vocal tone and also has rapper material but Source Music producers almost never do her and her members any justice when it comes to their songs, mainly the title tracks. Which is why I've noticed that many of their songs in which Yunjin (or any other member) is involved in the production or writing process, is a complete 180 from their title tracks. Take Easy vs Swan Song, for example. Easy is lot harder for them to sing because it goes lower than their range but I feel they sing Swan Song much easier because its a little more within their range. Plus 4/5 members were involved in the writing process so ig they'd write it to better suit their voice.

OP was also right regarding Shuhua. GIDLE is one of the better groups that produce songs that perfectly complements each member's vocal tone and capabilities.

And then as for Bae, I just know she'd do a lot better if she, like Giselle, was given better room to shine. They both have the capabilities and talents but they are given less credit and spotlight because their other members are more eye-catching in their respective areas.

Consider these 3 when deciding:

• Control and technique
• Pitch accuracy and intonation
• Range and flexibility

Kazuha on top.

Any other one is just choosing by fame.

Quote from autumnleaf_soshi

I was surprised as you are, how did I miss them like that

any ways I updated the OP, have a look

Much better

I swear, LE SSERAFIM always has that one underrated and underpromoted b-side that is better than most of the entire album.

But you're right, Pierrot is amazing. Before, I thought Sakura was the one who sang the intro, but because of their GDA performance, I realized that its a sample and Kim Wan Sun was the one singing, lol.

Quote from David33

This isn't really about vocals, it's about lazy companies vs better companies.

I think the video has enough details. It shows why XYZ agency doing a shit job.

Meh.

Quote from crystalblues

their songs just do not work so far. They need a better mixing engineer and better writers, then maybe they will have more of a chance.

Real, tbh.

Like, where is AESPA's producer? If they can afford the person who produced ARMAGEDDON or WHIPLASH, even, then Dear Alice might have a chance.

Now I'm actually starting to see why a handful of SM boy groups aren't in the spotlight anymore. SM just doesn't do them any justice.

Quote from Tatiana1820

i'm still crying for the loss of such a bop . i would have LOVED a red velvet version of the song .

You can listen to this too

It's not real but still amazing.

Quote from WhyKnock

Yes, too much time has elapsed after they allowed the world to slip thru their fingers to flacate some Koreans who chose New Jeans instead nevertheless.

You actually just gave me a thread idea. Thxs.

Quote from WhyKnock

SKZ has more loyal fanbase while a lot of BTS' fanbase moved on.

I wouldn't say they moved on. A lot of them just went incognito due to the amount of haters who got bold.

Quote from ThePhantomThief

The most hilarious thing is the very first idea for banning TikTok was because Cheeto Hitler pissed his diaper in rage when "TikTok Teens" conspired to fake buy all those tickets to his rally and overinflate the estimated crowd, thus humiliating him worse than when Trudeu macked on his PayPerWife in front of him.

I feel bad for Melania, tbh.

I can't imagine why she would want to marry a Cheeto in a Wig..well I can imagine but no amount of many would convince me to do that.

Quote from superyeah

Imagine if Wendy had gotten dreads instead of Kai.

I didn't need that visual

Obsession deserves to be on this list.

what a stupidly obvious publicity stunt

realistically, tiktok will never be banned because Trump knows how pissed people will be. Majority of Americans live on that app.

Life goes on

Quote from David33

What do you mean? Write longer sentences, for Christ’s sake! You're not gonna be banned for it.🤣

I expected more detail. Especially for the 4th pair.
