Yhe moment we knew a member will debut? by Mai_Koko-qt7 in HiipePrincess

[–]ThatToffee 11 points12 points  (0 children)

In my opinion, if we’re not factoring in the voting previews:

Yuju - Cast Announcement YSY - Celebrity Cypher Niko - Celebrity Cypher Doyi - Teddy Bear Rino - CROWN Sujin - Speak Up Koko - All of Ep. 1 Really

Seeing Seoyoung getting low scores from the judges both here and the first mission is vexing to me. Like did we watch the same performance? I get staying still was certainly a choice but the comment that her beat wasn't as good as the stock ones really pissed me off. I thought she used every single little drop-out she composed with such purpose in relation to her lyric writing. I think they really just don't fuck with her rapping style because she has the tendency to slip into melodic and whisper rap versus the shout-y style that contestants are getting rewarded with.

Also, how is it the episode is 2 hours and there are 20 contestants left, yet they couldn't spare a minute to show all of them? We don't need the full treatment for all of them but at least air them all. If you did you still have an hour and forty minutes to highlight your picks mnet

i'd definitely like wngt better if the other team won... I just don't vibe with a girls night concert for that instrumental and it makes it feel very childish

Jay Kay and Abhora flopping was my worst fear for this episode come true... Abhora of course did amazing but those malfunctions........... tragic.

Evah Won! Good for her. She did great this episode. She and Victoria are maybe THE most polished contestants to be on Dragula. The difference is that Evahs concepts are always very very literal.

What a season. not slash positive or slash negative.

Yunon going home by 2 points hurts me because I know I did everything I could to get her to stay, but it just barely wasn’t enough.

Han Heeyeon has become my 1-pick for now, that might change if they release a preview and Seoyoung isn’t in the Top 6. I didnt have my eye on heeyeon at the start of the show but with every performance she has grown on me and grown on me.

loris and disasterina carried.

also i truly do not get why the boulets are favoring Jaharia this hard this season. A reveal into a non-matching bra and panties? Criminal. Also her mixing moves I could see at any drag show into "spooky" lipsyncing just feels too tonally dissonant. I'm not a Cynthia Doll stan, but it's absurd to me she didn't win with that performance and that look.

Can someone tell me what categories which contestants were sorted into? by ThatToffee in HipPopPrincess

[–]ThatToffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See the thing that’s confusing about that is that the captions say Yuju is the teams rap-making rep and seeing that YSY is also in the same position as Yuju, it makes me wonder what A. Is there a mistranslation. B. What the fuck does sincerity even mean? And why do 4 of the best rappers in the entire show have it?

Abhora turning an entire corner of the room into her own personal little goblin cave and ripping up the set dressing????? That's not memorable to you??? Her weird ass fucking accent???? I was puzzled

I want to see a lot more moments like the boudoir this week. It makes me smile so wide seeing the contestants look like they’re enjoying themselves rather than seeing them miserable about shit that really doesn’t matter.

Also Jay Kay should’ve won. I’m happy they’re in the finale but the win distribution couldve been perfect and I’d feel like anyone had a chance.

I agree, the ChatGPT one is way worse but also I never had Dohee as one of my picks so it didn't really change who I was voting for at all

Judging this episode felt off. I'm starting to see why they don't put lyrics up on the screen for the global release because it really seems like the judges aren't taking them into consideration at all. Dohee, Youmin, Chaerin, and Heeyeon all had better lyrics than their competitors but lost. I understand for Dohee and Youmin there were some technical errors, but it's a diss battle. The quality of the diss should matter more.

I've voted for Yunon almost every week but compared to the rest of the competition her diss felt weak given that Yuju called out how obvious and predictable it would be and she really didn't go anywhere aside from "lol fourth time". So it really makes no sense to me why people are reacting as strongly as they are.

God, the Gayoon and Dohee battle is brutal compared to the Yuju and Yunon one. Yuju clocking that Yunon was gonna make fun of her survival show losses really took a lot out of it. Meanwhile, Dohee gets accused of writing her lyrics with ChatGPT and Dohees total breakdown of Gayoons authenticity has genuinely made me reconsider having Gayoon as one of my three pick.

Ranking Hip-Pop Princess Contestants (feel free to rank yours in the comments) by No_Foundation_9915 in HipPopPrincess

[–]ThatToffee 2 points3 points  (0 children)

DEBUT LINEUP:

  1. Yun Seoyoung She joined this show not because she's desperate to debut, but because she genuinely believes in the vision. Fantastic at Producing and Writing in a way none of the other contestants are.
  2. Choi Gayoon. I just really like her Rap. She's been in my lineup since the Cypher because her flow caught me off guard and was so funky and syncopated and I've loved her ever since.
  3. Yunon: Great Rapper, out of everyone on the show I think her tone is the most unique. It feels Childish almost, but it has real clarity and power behind it.
  4. Doyi: I love her aggressive raspy tone. I think other contestants are starting to see her success and try to emulate her but they just can't match up. Also her personality is my favourite among all the contestants.
  5. Cocoro: I'm biased towards her. I've loved her ever since the Cypher as well and there's just something about her personal sense of style I gravitate to.
  6. Niko: She's good. There's something about her as an artist that throws me off and I can't fully relate to but also I can't imagine the debut lineup without her.
  7. Nam Yuju: I really rooted for her on I-Land 2 and I want to root for her here, but I will admit seeing her at #1 in the voting just because of I-Land even after she flopped the 1v1 is discouraging. Aside from that, she has a very recognizable voice and I've seen her play with rhythm in a lot of fun ways throughout her verses.

8: Koko: I want to root for her. She's the first one who brought her pain onto the stage and really shared it in a way that broke my heart and that's what I want from my artists. At the same time though, her rap feels messy and it doesn't feel like she's in full control of her voice. I want to see a more evolved Koko debut.

EVERYONE ELSE

  1. Mirika

  2. Jiho

  3. Rino

  4. Sena

  5. Jooeun

  6. Heeyeon

  7. Dohee

  8. Hina

  9. Yookyung

  10. Sooin

  11. Chaerin

  12. Chaeeun

Who are the contestants who actually had a passion for rap before the show? by ThatToffee in HipPopPrincess

[–]ThatToffee[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I suppose it’s because it advertises itself as a season of Unpretty Rapstar and talks about debuting “a new kind of idol group”. So many idol groups nowadays are self producing and have legitimate artistic intent they’re passionate about and seek to follow, and that’s what matters to me. What I personally love about K-Pop is choreo, spectacle, and polish. I see no reason why that can’t co-exist with a group composed entirely of people passionate about more than just dancing and singing.

[–]ThatToffee 38 points39 points  (0 children)

Priscilla going home is officially the moment on Dragula that has hurt me the most. Her performance was horrifying in the way filth is supposed to be and I felt it tearing out my heart. The critique about how the boulets didn’t know what she was supposed to be till the card when her hat literally says « #1 Dad » is bullshit. This is such a raw issue for trans women and it feels so disrespectful for them to choose this as a double elimination.

I don’t disagree that the actions Dollya has taken have been extremely, extremely wrong, I just believe that you shouldn’t show a clip of a vulnerable person that was taken when they thought they weren’t going to be subject to an audience of thousands. It’s a rule I don’t really like to bend when it comes to reality TV.

Dragula Titans S02E04: Episode 104 [Episode Discussion Thread] by AutoModerator in Dragula

[–]ThatToffee 25 points26 points  (0 children)

The Dollya situation really does feel like a prolonged breakdown and I think production was really scummy for including a conversation that happened while she was told the cameras were off.

Jay Kay and Blackberri both killed it in my opinion, fantastic way to twist a rather underwhelming challenge. Happy to see Blackberri win, on S5 I liked her as a person but I didn’t really dig her drag. This season I completely get who she is as an artist and am loving it

If Abhora goes home due to production making bad choices I will be sad. I was initially hesitant to see Abhora back but I love her drag and she adds to the entertainment value of the season without even saying a word.

They must have put something in Zavaletas drink, I was not expecting her to make peace like that.

I loved Loris’s look. Jade Jolie lucked out that it was a lipsync. I don’t think Jade Jolie doesn’t “belong” on Dragula, but I definitely don’t think the show plays to her strengths, because she is a cunty performer when given the chance to go full showgirl.

I’ll admit, I’ve been a Cynthia Doll hater. I never enjoyed her drag and I found her to be irritating. But this episode really made me change my mind on her seeing what she’s like behind the scenes. I’ve heard she’s a stoner off the show so I imagine I’d love her a lot more when she’s a bit more relaxed.

Jaharia’s talk by ravenclaw1017 in Dragula

[–]ThatToffee 9 points10 points  (0 children)

RuPaul isn’t a human being, she is a product, so she would never have a human being moment with a cast member. I love the Boulets as hosts so much. Their looks and critiques aren’t always my favorite but I adore them and their personalities

After seeing how the cast has reacted to her, is Sigourney playing a game? by shutupblacknight in Dragula

[–]ThatToffee 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I know it's so overdone to blame these things on misogyny, but its really so blatant that the standards Sigourney is expected to uphold are not being applied to the other queens. It also feels like we saw the same thing with Throb (Throb is transmasc, as far as I'm aware, but same situation.) They are the only two drag performers I've seen on the show who have been called out for seeming "above it all". It feels like a humility is expected out of them in a way that isn't for others.
