I've never had such a terrible like to dislike ratio and I think that's kind of
iconic. who signed off on this? I would just like to have a little conversation.
that's a no thank you for me. hi, welcome! so today's video is really
exciting because I'm gonna be reviewing, giving my honest thoughts, critiquing
your most requested comebacks and a debut so I asked you guys on my
community tab what are some comebacks that you really want me to talk about
and a lot of you guys are mentioning things I've already made videos about,
which tells me that you guys don't have post notifications turned on, which you
totally should by the way! regardless I'm gonna link some videos down below of the
recent comebacks that you guys are requesting that I have talked about
already, was that a whoa? hmm do you ever just watch
like 20 Ateez compilations and...cut that out! so the first come back we're gonna
talk about is nct's kick it and I feel like including NCT in this video and the
thumbnail is the only way to get Markly Spears to respond to my DMs so I am
accepting applications for new friends, so you have to be able to respond to my
DMs within less than 21 hours... um that's really the only criteria but
before we get into it I'm gonna stop you right there to remind you to subscribe,
like, comment, join my channel memberships! okay so style wise before we like
actually get into the NCT 1-2-7, 127 did anyone else get run devil run vibes?
like down to the very chunky highlights in dark hair but also did I
make that up in my head? only post-production Angelina will know. okay
so listening to the song itself feels like a very intense experience and I'm
not really sure how I feel about it, I feel like if the chorus was a little bit
more simple had a little bit less going on that I might vibe with the song a
little bit more, but as of now it just feels like intensity itself I felt the
same way about Wonderland by Ateez when I first listened to it it just it threw me
off it put me off but now I love Wonderland, so like don't- don't- don't get
mad! but I do think it's a cool song, it just you know initially really wasn't my
cup of tea but I definitely see the allure, this
comeback has like everything you could really want, it has so many elements that
helps it stick out it, has a catchy chorus, a really simple killing part in
the choreography that looks really cool, a very recognizable color scheme, it has
it all it's just very intense so for me you know I don't think I would download
this song, but I see that allure and I do think it's catchy but man does this ever
give me EXO vibes. I'm not even scared of exo-ls after the whole "Kris did the
floating thing first in this 2012 Chinese version of Mama music video" we
won't get into that but just know I've never had such a terrible like to
dislike ratio and I think that's kind of iconic, I said what I said and I own that
admittedly I was sick and running a fever but you know you gotta live life
without fearing what kpop stans are gonna do to your life.
there was definitely a part of a song where like the intensity died down and
then there was just some really nice vocals and I was brought right back to
2012 possibly 2011, "what is love" anyone? it doesn't sound like :what is love: but I
feel like it's such an amazing EXO song and I wanted to bring it up and talk
about it if there are any "what is love" enthusiasts watching right now please
leave it down in the comments below I think that is hands-down EXO's best song
ever I'm an OT 12 Stan don't at me. anyways so as for the outfit I mean I do
like the leather I do love the black and yellow themes going on
however these Versace outfits, like who signed off on this? I would just like to
have a little conversation. Versa-chay, sorry! because you know the whole music
video has this black and yellow theme and you all know I love black and yellow
to death but then suddenly there's these black white and red outfits and I just
see Versace written very obnoxiously on one of the shirts and I just that's a
no thank you for me, by the way I know no one asked but I feel like my bias in NCT
127 is between Yuta and Johnny, it used to be Taeyong because of the parrot but you
know what I have to say how can one resist such an impeccable parrot
imitation. yeah and someone actually sent me this video of Doyoung with a parrot
as well I mean NCT is that parrot group how am I not a Stan yet I have no idea
now we're gonna move on to Alexa so before we get into Alexa I just want to
say I follow her on Instagram I love her I love her music and I feel like I've
complained a lot in the past about us collectively as a community letting EVOL
fail and I've also longed a lot for someone to come in and revive such a
concept and Alexa is out here just doing the most, she took a concept
like that revived it, modernized it and completely made it her own and I love
her for that and I mean so far in both of her songs there hasn't been ever
anything that I've disliked there's never been any fashion that I've
disliked and I've loved I've loved both of these songs so do-or-die is amazing I
love it I love the vocals I love the storyline I love how the storyline
follows off where bomb ended and I mean she's consistent, she has so much energy
on stage I literally have nothing bad to say and do or die definitely maintains
the sense of familiarity that was introduced to us in her debut with bomb
and again I love how the storyline just continues on just with thankfully less
scary shoes I mentioned in my 2020 hopes and
predictions video for kpop that I would love to see her perform on more music
shows and luckily she has been performing on so many more music shows
I've gotten to see so many more outfits so many more stages and I'm I'm really
happy for that so the only critique that I've really seen about this song is the
presence of a lot of English lyrics within the lyrics, that was dumb anyways
so I'm gonna try to explain this the best way that I can I just personally
feel that people tend to search for too much purity within a language and then
when you do see a language mixed with another language people tend to view
that as very low and as someone who grew up bilingual it's definitely something
that people do not appreciate and I understand why they don't because from a
sociolinguistic perspective you know it makes sense there's language hierarchy
there are high varieties of languages and low varieties of languages and the
lower varieties tend to have different languages mixed together etc, etc
so like I get it but I don't agree with it and I think the song is perfect
the way it is and you also have to take into account that you were taught to
think this way right I mean especially if you grew up in a bilingual place and
you went to school in one of the languages that you spoke generally the
schools themselves are going to tell you to not mix the languages together that
it's unprofessional, it doesn't look good all that jazz when in reality it's just
it's just you know people's vernaculars it's just the way people talk you know
it doesn't have to be demonized and it should not be demonized
so yeah overall super catchy song love the music video love her stages because
you can actually hear her voice, it gives me 2nd gen vibes. so the next one we're
gonna talk about is ONEUS' "a song easily written" I keep wanting to say
OH-KNEE-US, leave down in comments below if any of you still pronounce it "OH-KNEE-US"
because me! so admittedly the only reason I even gave this song a chance is
because I'm subscribed to gzb Karma, I like I recently started binge watching
her videos, I love her, she's a fellow francophone
so I mean admittedly, I just watched whatever she puts out otherwise I don't
really think I would have you know sought out this song so definitely go
check out GZBKarma, she seems so sweet and genuine and just like a light
of positivity. so I did make a video about lit back in the day though
admittedly it was comparing it to IDOL so I have heard and seen a music
video by them before, though really the only thing I do know from them is from
what I've seen on their weekly Idol appearance with Ateez, where they
graciously adopted Mingi for a second, 7 made one team that day. but I have to say
I actually really vibed with the sound of the song and Coco said it reminded her...
is that her name? I fucking hope that's her name...it reminded her of Mamamoo's
starry night, I can definitely hear that and I can definitely appreciate that you
know the whistling the softness it was all very nice also I liked the title of
the song you know just like looking at the song title you can kind of get a
gist of how maybe this will be a heartbreak song and it did not fail in
delivering that message however just a music video itself I was a tad bit
underwhelmed I mean even like fashion-wise it was a little bit
underwhelming there wasn't really a storyline though maybe maybe I just
don't know one ONEUS' thing but I mean if you did
compare it to lit lit had a lot more extravagance in both the music video
sets and the fashion and just you know comparing it to the only other thing I
know of them it was a little bit underwhelming except for these outfits
so again I love this type of fit of outfit just like looser Blazers kind of
shapeless but I love how they mix the pink with orange I think that just added
a little twist to maybe otherwise outfits that have been done consistently
but I should definitely clarify that it's not that the music video wasn't
cinematographer- fuck that word it's not that it wasn't nice I just tend to have
a short attention span so for me I love when things are extravagant and colorful
and kind of in my face like that, moving on to dream catchers come back
with scream! so this is probably the most requested a comeback that you guys
wanted me to talk about so here it is I definitely love the
beginning text that said "one day the light suddenly did not come people
forgot how to say good things" I feel like you just feel something like that
in your soul without any explanation dreamcatcher
usually and I say this is someone who's literally heard three songs have a very
interesting sound usually like a very non traditionally kpop sound however I
find it kind of works within the realm of kpop nevertheless now I don't know if
this is gonna make sense but I feel like scream was more digestible than deja vu
I definitely thought their last comeback sounded nice but I maintained that
scream, maybe I could be totally wrong I feel like it might have more of a
synthetic sound? which might be a little bit more digestible to a k-pop audience
if that makes sense. I mean it just had so many elements that you know you could
fall in love with it had very beautiful vocals, someone had purple hair, it had
these goth vibes, this seemed like a little bit softer while maintaining you
know this badass goth image that they have and I really liked it and I loved
listening to it and I mean the music video was also very stunning as well
though I am about to say something a little bit obnoxious some parts of the
music video just reminded me a little bit of going crazy and obviously I know
they're different, just you know the color scheme brought me back to a time
where we romanticized really creepy behavior but I mean let's be honest that
was the entirety of 2011 but I digress! I have nothing bad to say about
dreamcatcher the song was beautiful it kind of gives me this vibe like I want
to just walk dramatically down the street with my dog like at night while
listening to it and definitely the music video was beautiful as well and I'm also
very excited to see more from them okay so we're gonna talk briefly about MCND's
debut with Ice Age now the first time I listened to it it really wasn't
my cup of tea but I thought I'll give it another chance and I can see how it
could be catchy but one thing I did really like about this debut was the
choreography, I watched one of their music show performances and I like the
different formations that they used I thought that was pretty cool
and the choreography definitely was a standout point for me and I definitely
like this little toe touch, so the last come back we're gonna briefly touch on
is Weky Meky's come back with "dazzle" so um I do like the song picky though I
admittedly changed the lyrics too freaky my mom actually called me out on that
she's like um the song's called picky what are you doing I was like okay mom
my mom used to play 2NE1 "I am the best" really loud in her car in
the parking lot when she would pick me up to school to assert her dominance
over the other moms but the fact that she called me out on that was really
surprising cuz she doesn't even know that 2NE1 disbanded, so no shade mom but like
let me breathe! so I saw the song and it wasn't really my cup of tea I
didn't really vibe with it, however the entire aesthetic of this music video is
absolutely stunning, I love the hair choices, the blue, the black and pink
though admittedly I don't really like the colors black and pink. together
I'm definitely really a sucker of pink themed music video so aPink's %%
blackPink's as if it's your last Z girls streets of gold, and I feel like
this is kind of on the same wavelength but it has like a pink tint to it at
times I'm a sucker for that I love it so much so though this song I don't really
vibe with it even though it does give me like very very little second gen vibes I
appreciate that but what I really appreciate definitely is the aesthetic
of everything! actually I just re- watched the music video now and I'm kind
of vibing with the song and kind of that like killing point I think it's the
killing point where they're like moving their leg side to side I think I'm gonna
have to give it another chance because that was pretty good, my
reviewed thoughts on this is that it's actually quite catchy and honestly
really reminiscent of a second gen song along with the danse as well I mean
looking back on the dance it's a lot of fun and I think it'd be a really fun
choreography to learn and the color scheme though it's not always pink it
does seem very cohesive to me and just overall very aesthetically pleasing I
mean honestly the *hits mic* oops and I also
really appreciated that outfits I definitely loved the soft pink material
mixed with this hot -not hot pink what the fuck am I on? soft pink material mixed with
leather material but overall I'm kind of a little bit sad that I didn't give this
song the proper chance the first time because now it seems like the era is
kind of over right I mean all the music shows have been done by this point
already so let's enter sentimental hours with Angelina I just I don't know why I
feel a sense of sadness when you have to like look back on an era without
actually having experienced at firsthand I definitely feel this way about Ateez
"say my name" I love that era so much I love the clothing but I never
really got to experience that era firsthand I can just look back on it as
a new fan like I wish I would have given it the chances anyone else feel the same
way like I am beyond thankful that I was able to live and breathe and experience
a time where 2NE1 existed and I just I can't imagine you know just having to
look back on that and not having the memories that I do like it it's like the
the most soul-crushing thing and I know there are worse things in this world but
like but I just not to address my traumas and I'd much rather get sad over
petty shit instead okay I'm gonna end the video right here those
were the most requested comebacks and a debuted that we requested for me to talk
about if you guys like this video please make sure you give it a thumbs up so I
can know that I should do more in the future or if you didn't like it and you
