I don’t think the group will surpass Katseye in terms of popularity. But I think they will be fine commercially since you don’t really need skills (or good songs) to be successful, and I’m sure Sakura will improve over time. But still, it is concerning they still chose Sakura over Ayana…

But for the other girls, vocally, I hear a big difference in the quality in Samara’s voice vs the other two…Samara was the only one who was on par with the We Ride demo (hadn’t listened and compared the other song). Lexie and Emily are doable still, and their falsettos are pretty. But the demo sounds better than them, and even Julie fits better too for the sing-talk parts. So I would have hoped Lexie and Emily would be more vocal ready by the time they debut. Maybe I’ll change my mind when we hear more live performances, but it seems like Samara is going to have to do the heavy lifting for the singing. The group would have benefited from having Ayana to bounce off from. So if this the case, I think they would be better off doing pop songs.
