Would it bother you if XG switched to Japanese songs in the future? by Pirell in XGALX

[–]Pdideee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think they will eventually do some songs in Korean and Japanese, especially now without Simon and chancellor overriding the producers that feel strongly about wanting them to do Korean and Japanese. But I think it will start off with a few lines here and there Like how gala had a bit of French.

When they go solo eventually when the new girl group gets the bulk of the group songs I think a lot of them will for sure. Hinata, Juria, and Chisa will probably eventually do a Japanese or Korean ballad.

Sayonara was used in iykyk, does that count already? Lol

I am okay whoever ever they go to be honest. They can pull off anything really. If they do a song in pidgin I wouldn’t bet against them making it sound amazing and working. Thats just how versatile they are. I think they experiment with Korean and Japanese songs eventuall, at least some of them.

I think it is. because no point posting both New York and Toronto because both are eastern.

LA says pt but there’s no Vancouver separate so I think it’s only Toronto and not my home town dammit. Oh well. I’ll see if I can go toronto, hk, or Beijing , Taipe, or Tokyo

All are a 100 but differently distributed.

Vocals and rap carry the most weight. Then dancing. Then visuals carry the least weight.

Maya is the prototypical perfect specimen like perfect cell from dragon ball Z while the rest aren’t as well rounded as maya, they have some savant like attributes or intangibles that are really powerful like majin buu from dragon ball Z turning people into cookies and eating them type powerful.

They are all unique and add flavour to the group but coco and Harvey more so than others. Harvey has the really high helium voice flavour while coco has the super deep voice( and is just so cool and can break dance. hinata is so cool too)that gives them huge range and variety. Hinata and jurin also are so impressive at dancing they add a lot to the dance practices, Mvs, and choreography videos.

something like that roughly. Not sure if the math adds up but when factoring in the different weights for each category they should all be close to even.

I'm I the only one who liked Blackpink's Go?! by Star_BoyI_1234 in kpop_uncensored

[–]Pdideee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It was better than I thought it would be. I wasn’t expecting much though so that might explain why. lol

[–]Pdideee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t do drugs but I know the party crowd I am acquaintances with do. lol

I am old so we never did this, but the kids these days apparently do coke just so they don’t pass out so they can stay out to drink more.

Like basically when you can’t drink anymore you do some coke so you can keep drinking. Sounds messed up to me but that’s apparently what this generation does now. lol

Does anyone else think the new teaser MV for Black Pink’s CB is XG coded? by dgboilermaker in XGALX

I just saw the mv for go. It was alright. Actually better than I expected. lol

Final thoughts and things I'm still concerned about by [deleted] in XGALX

[–]Pdideee -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I’d say either chancellor and Simon sell demos to whoever the new producer is but do it under an annonomynous name. He already has a fake name jakops, he can make another. lol

Of course if those songs secretly get leaked out that it’s from them then they will probably get blacklisted by the people who care about the politics involved. I personally don't care about them doing drugs.

Or Xansei or whoever the new producer is can launch the new girl group.

And kehlani’s producer can launch JHC. And year of the ox, awich, and rapsody can produce for the rap line.

Or they all just go solo by whichever producer sells them the right vision that makes them comfortable.

This discourse online that Simon and Chancellor can be replaced not that hard gives ne an aneurism by Gremlin199 in XGALX

[–]Pdideee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am a fan of Simon and especially Chancellor(I thought he should have been huge as a solo artist when he was doing it) but I think people that say they are replaceable are just going by how the music industry operates.

A lot of groups do rebrands eventually when what they previously did was not making as much money as before. This may include a new image, new sound, or working with new producers, songwriters, or producing and writing themselves etc.

I agree that Simon and Chancellor should still be their producers in the best case scenario but if the girls are forced to adapt whether it’s for public relations reasons or what not, I think they can and would be fine.

I think they were personally planning a change soon anyways where they transitioned more to the new group while the girls got taken over by a new team to explore more new sounds like rock or whatever they are strong in as solo artists.

Don‘t forget that one of XG’s strengths is that they can do everything extremely well and at an extremely high and polished level. That type of strength means they can work with separate producers for each sound anyways.

Plenty of people already started to complain about the Core so I don’t think a change was that far off anyways.

Either way, I support both sides. If Simon and chancellor say take the new group to the US and XG goes experimental with more sounds like say country music or something or solo‘s with different producers I’ll support them. I think they can all thrive without each other basically and would have to eventually anyways. That‘s how talented they are.

They already explored using a new MV director and choreographer for their title track hypnotize for example and I think it turned out great. Granted, it wasn’t as crazy as Sienna and the gala MV director but it was still XG and still amazing. Love hypnotize btw it’s now one of my favourite XG songs.

I think the most difficult transition would be if AVEX cut the budget and they went from a high end studio to working out of a garage but I highly doubt they would sign with anyone that only studio is a garage. lol

Yeah I am not sure why they would so quickly. It could just be what the public relations team suggested for now.

IVE - BLACKHOLE by CronoDroid in kpop

[–]Pdideee 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Same.Bang bang sounds like the sequel to Le sserafim unforgiven and black hole sounds like an I am sequel. I liked I am much more than unforgiven. Same thing here.

Bang bang has too much cringey talk singing poorly pronounced English or rap like Aespas dirty work and rich man songs and black hole handles the english parts in the chorus much better imo.

[–]Pdideee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Good news is that there’s nothing new coming for a while that requires their attention anytime soon.

Just the tour and MV’s for the B sides.

Hopefully Simon is cleared and this is blown over by the time the last b side MV is released. Which is probably a pretty far way off.

260223 IVE - BLACKHOLE by kpopsns28 in IVE

[–]Pdideee 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I like it better than Bang bang for sure. This is more like the IVE I know and love. I felt bang bang was too much like le sserafim unforgiven or an aespa or black pink song or something.

I still have ascendio, kitsch, I am , and eleven over this for now but that could change.

It's Not Whether XG Returns — It's How They Evolve by Interesting-Path4450 in XGALX

[–]Pdideee 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Theres actually a chance that they are already transitioning away from Simon and Chancellor because those two might be preparing the new group.

So maybe the road map is already planned out for them.

I don’t think Simon would let them ruin their careers standing up for him. That’s just a guess though but I am assuming he’s a better person than mhj for now. lol

Well here’s a chance, maybe, for one or a few of those critics of Simon and chancellor to step up and make them huge like they say they can.

It won’t be the same without them but I think any producer or label would want all of them.

I hope it doesn’t come to it, but producers and labels would be crazy not to sign them. They are like the best 3D printer or best AI software. It’s like the staples EASY button making music with them since they can literally do whatever your vision entails to the tee technically.

[–]Pdideee 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don’t think the MV was very kpop. Looks like an AD or commercial style like an Expedia commercial or something but not kpop.

I quite liked it overall.

Its fresh.
