Same. Curious who they’re fighting over and who will make a cameo at the end. And they’re drinking chocolate and strawberry milk instead of cocktails. :lol:

I’m loving this Idle dance cover of Crazy. Soyeon and Soojin go so hard and Miyeon twerking will always be hilarious. I remember seeing them do this song back in their busking days so this is cool to see again.

You know I try to keep my hoarding to a minimum by only buying stuff that is actually from groups I listen to. Which is why I have my Loona scepter and Ateez light stick.

But drat if I don’t want that Dreamcatcher power staff. :cry:

So I guess I have a new group to listen to. Any suggestions? Because I get slammed on YouTube.

I think I’ve figured out Aespa. They’re a reverse Hatsune Miku. The virtual members do the singing and the live members perform on stage, cause they never get to actually sing :lol:


https://youtu.be/Y6sfNV51ae0


They’ve used full lip sync or pre-recorded live vocals like this every time they did Black Mamba live, and now they’ve put out multiple “performance stage” videos with prerecorded tracks. They even have the luxury of doing multiple takes because of Covid anyways, so it’s not like they can’t still protect their perfect image if there is a mistake. Just let them sing SM, drat.

And yeah, it's strange that aespa don't get to sing live even when it's a ballad and filmed in a studio. I got the impression that they have good voices, especially Ningning and Winter.

Yeah they clearly have great voices going by the prerecorded live audio, and this song doesn’t have any demanding choreo that would interfere with the singing either. So weird, even more so coming from SM who have such a reputation for great vocalists.

I Burn had 159k sales on Gaon for January which makes it their best selling and the 3rd best Cube album sales of all time (and will certainly get 8k more for #1).

Dreamcatcher had 91k sales in the 6 days they had in Jan which is a huge number for them.

Hell yeah!

It's never really bothered me if a group is singing live or not but with Weeekly I really like that there's so much footage of them singing live that there's no real question of them being capable singers, except maybe Zoa but she's still a child so that's fine. It just seems like it's better to have them singing live from the beginning to build confidence and get used to loving up occasionally or else you can have a twice situation with half of them still not having high confidence with live singing.

I think JYP have learned that lesson given how insanely capable Itzy are all around. Still can't get over this practice video where you hear their voices so clearly over the studio sound system.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYi7hHWG7zw

That's how you build singing confidence and strength given the aerobic conditioning it requires and all. Despite the arms race in harder and harder choreo they're killing it (along with a lot of 4th gen groups).

Apparently the stylist for the Dubu/Chae cover of Switch To Me ripped off the hanbok Dahyun was wearing from the How You Like That m/v so they had to reupload it with that scene removed entirely :(

yeah not really surprised about groups lip syncing, its pretty common

esperterra

SHINee's back




Lip syncing is a trend that comes and goes in kpop, and I was hoping to see it go away again as we move into the 4th gen, but with so many groups being dance focused these days I have a feeling it'll be sticking around a while longer.

That said it's def weird SM hasn't had aespa do any live singing yet. Usually for music shows they just do the first week lip syncing, then sing live the week after, but Black Mamba was lip synced for the whole promo period from what I've seen. It's weird they wouldn't have the girls do any live performances for Forever, but SM's in house The Stage/The Performance stuff has all been mostly lip synced anyway so I was kind of expecting it. It's a shame tho b/c those girls have amazing voices. Hoping we get some live singing out of them whenever they promote another song.

They've done some live singing on diff radio shows if you really do want to hear them tho.

The worst I’ve seen was the Everglow US tour where the mics were either really low or just off entirely with the full studio track playing. To the girls credit, they still sang on stage.

This is pretty much the only time lip syncing bothers me. I'd prefer if music shows were all live, or if more groups sang live at least-- even with a backing track, I don't care as long as I can hear their voices. From a production standpoint tho, everyone just lip syncing these days probably makes poo poo way easier. But when concerts are done mostly lip synced it's kind of like ... rly fam? People paid for this poo poo lmao. Doing a few tracks lip synced because either the choreo is too intense, or to save their voices for a later song, no big deal. But a whole rear end concert being lip synced, or the voices being drowned out entirely by the backing track, is just a drat shame.

Me and an army friend went to see BTS at the second date of their Wembley shows in 2019. It was a cool experience even though we had really, really bad seats. But there was a fair bit of lipsyncing in some songs which bothered me a bit? I think one of the solo performances was completely lipsynced, or the mic was just turned so low that you couldn't hear the live vocals :/

To be fair, it was mostly in songs that had a fast choreo and it was a 2 hour show, so I can see why you can't go all out on both singing and dancing.

Hell yes. I fell in love with her in Running Girls, so I am hella looking forward to her stint on How Do You Play?!

Also



whew lad only two tracks. I really want to know what's up with the full album she's been working on since 2019, if it's just a matter of Sunmi wanting it to be perfect, or if the company isn't ready to release it for whatever reason. Maybe waiting for Covid to end so she can tour again?? idk

At least it's not just one track tho! And all of her work with Frants is amazing.
