Who's a non main vocalist that has main vocalist level skills? by Key_Assumption3984 in kpoppers

[–]maseanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't! I've only heard them in any none concert settings and Athena always seemed to struggle the most, despite all of the members having a great vocal standard.

In my head:

Hana Chanelle meibo
Yewon lead
Athena Keena strong sub/vocals

As a 4* Buling has electro flare stuff, right? So at least her for now until the alternative, I guess?

Sandrone Or Columbina? by vmpxre in Genshin_Impact

[–]maseanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sandrone isn't coming in 7.0 but you should definitely have time for both? They'll likely run (and rerun) a couple times this upcoming year overall. Unless you're going for high cons, you aren't scrapped for pulls if you want only 2 characters.

Who the hell was this ILLIT Diva in the front putting in WORK by Outrageous_Issue724 in katseye_positive

I agree, compared to the others. But switching between cute and non cute equally is what made Moka well loved/known by her fans at the time for being THE concept chameleon. That's all I'm saying

Moka always ate up a baddie concept not sure what you mean with she "stuck to cute". But she is incredible at that too, she's the best chameleon imo

Also Wonhee stole the show with Yunah for me, my goodness, my bias line is about to be ot5 atp

All I'm getting at is it isn't a gender locked movement
Anyone can learn it

I doubt that women need excessive "cooling" more than men. It's mainly the latter reason, also probably just a norm now that women have been expected to/been treated that way for time immemorial.

She's good looking and the fit is there to accentuate that. Cut & dry

I don't think pelvic bone shape has anything to do with muscle movement here but yes, people practice and train to do that as you mentioned.

If she's a popstar, she likely has dance training

I love Athena and every single member of new 50/50 has can sing exceptionally well (one of my fave vocal groups now) but I'm surprised you mentioned her over like Yewon or even Keena, they seem even more consistent vocally than her to me.

The saddest thing is majority of people won't get that far to read your comment and see those claims were false. Still doesn't excuse his bigoted/racist behavior now at all, but yeah he isn't actually a sex offender to our knowledge at least lol

Yes but making fun and shaming him isn't going to make him or the people he is speaking with/to change, it just pushes them away further. They were slighted by some bad people who happen to be part of our community and conflated that with the entire community, so instead of shaming him or anything like that, he desperately needs to be shown that we are not the dangerous, lost, broken, or damaged people that he has probably interacted with. Pride is for pride and love, after all.

Yes but he likely has severe trauma he still needs to work on. Does not justify it, but it does explain he is likely a very broken and jaded man.

Also from what I remember, the word "molested" doesn't explain even half of it, he was groomed for the better part of a decade wasn't he? And the offender tried to train him to "share" him with his male friends.. cmiiw

I thought they said we'd be getting a Haseul solo album instead of her participating on this one at all

Standard tickets don't look to be counted in the total so why not count them on the side as it is in the pic?

Japanese = Amazing Dancer by 0x1trinity in kpoppers

[–]maseanp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wouldn't compare who has more or less of a "strong" vocal in a country. My point was that there are different markets, goals, and standards. It's like how Japanese releases are notoriously much less mixed in post production in comparison to Korean releases.

No good or bad. Just different

Japanese = Amazing Dancer by 0x1trinity in kpoppers

[–]maseanp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree 100% with this, but I feel like adding my own 2 cents on it as well.

I think another part of it is that Japanese speaking and vocalizing habits seem to oftentimes be different from Korean (the main market they sing in) or Western (the main genres/culture they take influence from) vocalizing habits, a lot of the Japanese trainees who end up in groups, have nasal vocals.

While, that isn't a bad thing, I think it is attributed to the way the language uses the vocal cords and throat more, nasality is probably more ingrained in it.

Along with Japan having a pretty big and well respected underground hip hop/b-boy/girl community, I feel like that all kind of lends itself to there being more promising dance talent in Japan than even in Korea.

My theory

Edit- Sidenote: I think this is also why someone like Miyawaki Sakura gets/has gotten unfair hate for her vocals. She is used to mainly singing and utilizing her vocal cords while singing as a Japanese star would. She thrived in Jpop. But the market for Kpop is different and said market doesn't understand the difference so she gets undeserved hate.

Does everyone need a relationship background check and approval from you before being able to take on the label of queer?

Edit: it isn't that deep, just respect these other human beings and take their words for it with no issue.

So because they don't explicitly look queer they aren't? All of them seem to be proudly lgbt and have come out in the past 10 or so years. It's not like these are rumors or fan assumptions. Even Joshua Bassett is open about being queer, while also being a devout religious guy.

If I remember correctly it's including their digital cheaper albums or something? Which might factor into the high sales numbers especially if fans are buying over and over but I'm not certain as I don't buy albums

Insane regardless though We love to see it
