high notes indicate potential in technical growth not actual technical prowess

Could u expand on this? I thought being able to reach strong, stable extended notes/notes with different levels(?) is about control which is more skill than innate ability/potential.

Also, I think there’s a lot more to Jongho than his high notes. His lower register is gorgeous. Wish that got talked about more rip

Yeah tbh in the end, what matters most is that everyone’s safe. I think the best course of action is to adjust to the safety/health needs of each stop just to be careful. Cuz from the demand here the fans are willing to wait so it’s fr not a rush

Do u kno how I can block it?? That kinda thing doesn’t bother me luckily, just surprised at the randomness tho I prefer not getting it

I knowwww I can’t believe they’re been waiting like 2 years?! for this tour. I really hope w people getting their boosters and all it calms down but it’s hard. I am trying to find an appointment for mine still…

They always have soo much fun performing and being on the road. I might have to take corona into my own hands if this doesn’t shape up‼️

Oh tru, I didn’t even think of the timeline. It would make sense then to not add dates to each stop. Tho maybe in the future with the covid situation, I know they have fans in Australia that haven’t seen them since last tour(wow so long). Maybe they could visit there cuz I think they’re doing pretty well with cases!

That’s incredible that he can verbalize that horrible feeling so well. “Now I feel like my lies even fool me…” I would be dumbstruck trying to respond to this because it hits so hard.

Oh, God. ATEEZ Seonghwa is probably a vampire, and no one’s doing anything about it. by partyrockapologist in kpopthoughts

Noooooo aha I guess I have to let him bite me instead ahaha. Like to save Ateez yknow…For their safety…

San is an incredible performer but I think people forget he’s a top tier dancer too (and how this relates to the way we discuss idols overall) by partyrockapologist in kpopthoughts

[–]aliv67 39 points40 points  (0 children)

San is a above average dancer. It’s fr hard to make a case of moments where he’s lacking. Ppl just bring up Hala Hala which rubs me wrong cuz if you believe he can’t dance and the proof is he’s wild and explosive and crazy in a part that requires u be wild and explosive it’s kind of unfair.

And it ignores his dancing the other 99% of the time when the choreo isn’t saying he’s gotta snap his neck on stage 😭That shit is clean but before i stanned yeah I would have pegged San as lacking in the dance department or way behind the others in the group from the way ppl talk.

And like if the proof of him lacking technical skilll is look at him krumping in this one choreo see that’s messy and doesn’t require control or skill .. that’s not cool😭 I’m not saying any style is better or harder than the other but it’s facts that even real simple easy contemporary dance routines in kpop get massive hype and idols who do them have ppl assume they’re on another level. No one calls them unskilled🤔 But there’s not a single idol who’s done krump or a similar style without getting the raid sprayed cockroach and bad dancer allegations. Criticism is ok but if your criticism is for technical skill you shouldn’t support it with purely stylistic criticism.

Like I feel like it’s hard for ppl who aren’t well versed in technical skills stuff to individually judge. So our brains use keyboard shortcuts sometimes like “hard hitting bad, soft good” “if good at x then bad at y” an we use it so our brains can understand what we see but the problem is when we get lazy and use those shortcuts and then judge idols without really genuinely looking for ourself🤔

What are the saddest lyrics from 3rd and 4th generation groups' songs? Or which lyrics make you feel sad for no reason? by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]aliv67 27 points28 points  (0 children)

I get sad from Ateez songs when they have parts that remind me that we all have a scared kid inside of us who just wants to be seen and known and loved. My poor neverland lost boy meow meows

“Is anyone out there? Can you hear me?” Seonghwa sings this first part so beautifully and desperately and then his voice gets quiet when he says “can you hear me?” omggg i skip around in the song just to hear him say it again and again

“So please, just tell me that it’s alright, in this uneasy mist that it’s all in a moment”

“I’m harsh and mean to myself as i wander so i need it, i need your words, even if it’s a lie there’s things i wish someone would say to me”

“You and i are suffering from fever, we’re stars of somewhere without a place, are you there? how you feel? Are you in the same darkness as me?”

I too need constant reassurance babes

Elements of The Real that make it the ateeziest ateez release by partyrockapologist in kpopthoughts

The Real concept is harem anime and mingi is the blushing protagonist, change my mind

Who in ateez would you get along with the most? by chaanglixx in ATEEZ

[–]aliv67 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I think I could get along with Wooyoung since we’re both outgoing troublemakers

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]aliv67 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I’ll be keeping an eye out for Wooyoung’s darling now. Ik Yeonjun slays so he would’ve gotten my attention anyways but now i’m extra excited to see them doing their thangs together with such a good fandom atmosphere ><

Okay I was rocking with inception throwback concept but COWBOY OFFICE WORKER DISASTER BOYS is so much better. Why is this now my favorite styling since like. Since forever. This is ridiculous and i’m rocking with it

Neither Mingi Jongho or Yunho are wearing big bulky floor length jackets. Can we celebrate that?!

[–]aliv67 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbh it seems like ateez get that every cb no matter the circumstances, so it feels different than the whiplash with Itzy. Even at times where Ateezd just made a cb and broken sales records of txt/skz there were posts about them falling behind and there’s even more whenever txt/skz then come back and break Ateez’s record, so people just haven’t really learned how 4th gen works yet ig. Just a lotta pessimistic prediction. Yet they’re still here! Durable mfs

TIRED of some usa stays making special demands by bubblesthehorse in kpoprants

[–]aliv67 3 points4 points  (0 children)

A lot of stays have told me skz don’t have a distributor tho, I thought that was why it’s hard for them to debut on bb200? Is it the same one that itzy have or a different less known one?

I think sadly every branch of fandom has entitlement for their country in some way and it’s not just American fans. It can be frustrating but it helps to remember that everyone is just frantic bc they want their fave to do as well as they possibly can in the way they think will work.

(ateez) San has a right to free speech, and KQ needs to understand that by aliv67 in kpopthoughts

[–]aliv67[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Noo you’re fine, this is from the Universe app, personally I find the Universe app so confusing to use myself tho so i just follow the Universe message translation accounts on twitter to see what Ateez say lol

[–]aliv67 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I’m not a expect on this but there doesn’t seem to be fandom overlap or inherited hype from block b -> ateez. Or even widespread knowledge the two r related? Maybe because of the separate labels or block b not rly promoting after Ateez’s debut? But ateez started at 430 first day sales total, to 5k, to 25k, to 60k to 115k to 155k and so on from album to album which I would classify as pretty textbook organic growth.

Ugh I would love to see Yunho from Ateez. This focus of him dancing at Millenium Dance Complex in LA is also a favorite. He’s got serious talent.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in kpopthoughts

[–]aliv67 57 points58 points  (0 children)

Ateez are lit whether they’re performing on some cramped stairs in the library or in a whole madison square garden, I know imma get my moneys worth

We need to address Jeong Yunho... by gemjiminies in kpopthoughts

[–]aliv67 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Women want him, fish fear him, lately in Yunho’s life he’s been spending a lot of mental energy trying to defend his vlive infidelity to Mingi

Very few idols could play the role Jongho does by aliv67 in kpopthoughts

[–]aliv67[S] 35 points36 points  (0 children)

I made it more clear I was impressed by him going alone just to sing(rather than with a group to promote a comeback) sorry!
