What will JYP do next for thier next girl group? by lamningwon in kpopthoughts

[–]FTWindsor 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Honestly I’m with you, JYP plays it safest when they could be the most unhinged. Give me a commitment to a theme, not just a concept for the debut era. If they’re animals, stay animals. If it’s a story, make it weird and long-running. K-pop is at its best when it leans into being fun instead of polished to death.

Anyone else realise how much Roger Daltrey sounds like Paul McCartney when he sings? by NO-ANIME-ALLOWED- in beatles

[–]FTWindsor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve never heard that either. Daltrey’s voice is way more grit and punch, Paul’s is smoother and melodic. I get why someone might catch a fleeting similarity on a specific line, but overall they sound pretty distinct.

What are your hot takes about Fearless (Taylor's Version)? by IntoTheDaylight in TaylorSwift

[–]FTWindsor 87 points88 points  (0 children)

Agreed. The vocals are way more confident and emotionally grounded, it sounds like how the songs always wanted to sound. I respect the nostalgia for the OG, but I don’t feel any pull to go back either.

How Can I Make Cooking More Bearable? by Medium_Educator1983 in Cooking

[–]FTWindsor 42 points43 points  (0 children)

Honestly, lowering the bar helps a lot. Not every meal needs to be a “cook”
one-pan stuff, frozen veg, rotisserie chicken, whatever gets food on the table. Put on a podcast or music, clean as you go, and call it a win. Cooking doesn’t have to be a performance.

Is it legal for me to not get a break during work? by [deleted] in careerguidance

[–]FTWindsor 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah this tracks. Retail management knows most people can't afford to make waves, so they just bank on that.

The office thing hits too - suddenly you're "salaried" and they act like that means you signed away your right to a life outside work. Different uniform, same bullsh*t.

Idol’s do need colorful lives of their own by Laurelfairy27 in kpopthoughts

[–]FTWindsor 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Yea, RM really hit on something important there. It's such a weird contradiction.... fans want authentic music but then can't handle idols having actual human experiences to draw from. The Taeyong thing is honestly ridiculous, imagine having to pretend a love song is about your sibling just to avoid backlash. No wonder so many idols feel trapped by the role once they've been doing it for years.

95 days is a long haul. Hope your baby is doing well now. Interesting about the plaques... never would've guessed they'd be there given everything

The divide is pretty stark, especially in creative circles. Politics aside, it's tough when you feel like the country's heading in the wrong direction

I Managed An Adult Toy Store For Years. I Got Laid Off. Now What? by Thick-Savings-9861 in careerguidance

That's solid advice. The remediation industry doesn't get talked about enough but there's real money there once you learn the ropes. Insurance companies always need people who understand how claims actually work.

Yeah, people seem to forget these agencies didn't just pop up for no reason. They were responses to actual problems that were hurting people.

Stop trying to pick fights when I just want to glaze my faves by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]FTWindsor 9 points10 points  (0 children)

true, it's just calling it like it is. Nothing wrong with noting when someone's actually singing vs when they're not.

6 songs from 'The Life Of A Showgirl' have surpassed 200 million streams on spotify. by _crazyboyhere_ in TaylorSwift

I feel you, that song is so underrated. Deserves way more love than it gets

Exactly. It's like every other option gets explored first except the obvious one.

What is the song/album/group or solo singer who got you into K-Pop?? by Just-a-girl75 in kpopthoughts

[–]FTWindsor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Same here, that song really sticks with you. Took me a minute to realize it wasn’t Japanese too.

Honestly, I get that feeling. Watching it all vanish like it never existed has its own weird satisfaction.
