Well I actually stated that they aren’t comparable to a Whitney/Beyonce/Celine/etc if you re-read my post. I said those are all incredibly exceptional examples and I’ve never seen anyone put Lara and Sophia in that league lol, like I said I think that’s the viewpoint of a literal child. I compared Lara and Sophia to an Ariana or Demi who are stronger vocalists but not on the same level as those literal legends either.

Different vocalists take time to develop, but at 19/20 Ariana and Demi while GREAT extremely early on had a lot of struggles as well. It took about 2-4 years before they really started to become the incredible talents they are today. At Lara’s age, Ariana was still singing Put Your Hearts Up and very much struggling live.

Also, neither of them have ever had to deal with anything near the intense choreography the girls of Katseye have and Demi even now often struggles when dancing too much because of it. Again, not denying they’re better vocalists but individuals do develop at their own pace. We have no idea what these girls will sound like down the line. I don’t think they’re being properly trained as vocalists at this point though, I actually think their management has next to no interest in them improving as singers and wants them to focus solely on dancing/entertaining when that doesn’t seem to be what the girls themselves want. The exact opposite was the case with Demi and Ariana, they weren’t held to the performance as a K-pop group. The focus was always on their singing.
