was sour candy actually a good song or was it a disappointment? so I was just
innocently scrolling through Instagram to increase the production of
serotonin or something like that I don't know I'm no psychologist but I probably
need one when I saw our Queen Rosé oh sorry Rosie posted this on Instagram
now I was shocked because I had clearly written on my calendar that the 29 no
one can bother me because I would be filming this video but then I guess you
know blackpink clowned me again but it's fine because like many of you I'm
used to it but alas the song has been released and I've had 24 hours to kind
of solidify my opinion on it as well as hear a little bit of your guys's
opinions and it seems that there are a lot of conflicting feelings here some
people think it's an amazing song and some people think it's a disappointment
so I thought we could dive into that dive into my own personal feelings and
all of that because I mean what else can we do there's no music video! Oh, damn I
had a little bit about the music video just forget I said that
yes let's dissect everything let's get into everything for at least 10 minutes
because I really do want to get Kevin a fancy new leash actually I'm gonna stop
you right there to remind you to subscribe and click that bell to be
notified because once blackpink make their comeback you know i'm gonna milk
the shit out of that okay so first things first we need to address the
elephant in the room and no that's not me hahaha the thing that everyone is
thinking the big issue on everyone's mind but where's the music video though
see that's why I told you earlier to forget what I said about the music video
because I have this bit all planned out as blinks we are no strangers to lack of
content and that includes a lack of music videos for songs that clearly
deserved music videos in fact this same tragedy happens with Forever Young and
kiss and make up so as I'm filming right now there is no
music video but there are a lot of Blinks theorizing that there could be one on
Tuesday now I'm not one to believe every single theory that blinks come up with
if I did black pink would have had like 18 comebacks by now... do you guys ever get
exhausted but some people were pointing out this picture that Lady Gaga posted
and then just was seen wearing this shirt that said Tuesday on it and they
were on a V live or something like that I don't know this isn't a journalistic
video I don't want anyone coming for my sources but if they do release it on
Tuesday that would be kind of a low blow because twice is releasing their music
video on Monday which I also have scheduled into a calendar I mean will be
well fed but you know ouch but I just want you to know that if there is a
music video I still will make a ten minute video about it don't worry I have
my ways but since this is just the audio I do have a few thoughts and I will be
sharing some of your guys's opinions at the end as well I don't know I feel like
there might be a lot of negativity and people are gonna call me out on that cuz
usually for a concept you know music video with the concept if I don't like
the song I can still you know talk about the the art of the music video colors
colors theory I don't know but since this is just the audio I feel like
very limited which brings us to a little bit of a disclaimer just because a song
isn't your cup of tea doesn't mean that this song is like
actually bad right I mean artist objective
I might think 2NE1 has the best discography in the world and you might
be like mm no so if I don't like certain aspects of the song it doesn't make it a
bad song you know it's just my own personal opinion and if you didn't like
the song like it's okay I hate when people kind of stigmatize critiques like
this right because it is very subjective just cuz I say one thing doesn't make it
you know the ultimate truth with in this world when like I'm obviously still
streaming the song like I forced my mom to listen to it she had no comment
because she knew that you know the internet might cancel her especially
after she said my light sticks look like they were from the dollar store I paid
$200 for the hooks how dare you but like Rosie's part, Rosé, a lot of people really
like it when I pronounce her name like that but then a lot of people are like
it's really offensive to pronounce her name the way it's like not pronounce and
like I don't know I don't know what to do like I'm in a tough position
Rosie's the part is my favorite in the entire world she released the teaser on
her Instagram before I heard the whole song and I was like ''I'm sour candy'' can't yeah
it is the most stunning part in my opinion I
loved it so much that I uploaded an entire video of just her part in the
song on my second channel totally worth the copyright claim but I am in love
with certain aspects of the song but the entirety of the song I was a little bit
iffy about right and I've also noticed a lot of people saying that it sounds
unfinished and a lot of people before the song was even released or even kind
of contemplating and like talking about whether or not Lady Gaga's voice would
kind of mesh well with blackPink's voices and that's probably the biggest
issue I have with the song because for me it almost sounds like two different
songs you know you have blackPink's parts of the song which to me scream
blackpink and to me scream like you know the essence of sour candy the way I
envisioned it and I don't quite listen to Lady Gaga so I'm willing to admit
that maybe maybe that's why it sounds a little bit odd to me like Lady Gaga's
voice is so dramatic so has so much grandeur to it if that makes sense compared to
blackPink's parts of the song blackPink's parts are like really cute but
like with a little bit of a twist you know but then Lady Gaga's parts they're
so like her voice is just very very powerful right and I find that blackpink's
voices tend to be more emotional if that makes sense so for me it just
sounds like two different songs that they kind of put together so blackpink's
parts just don't sound the most cohesive with Lady Gaga's parts in my
opinion but it is cute I really love you know the beat it's very like retro in my
opinion but there is this element of like it has the potential to be so
majestic but it almost kind of falls short and this kind of also has to do
with the length of the song I've seen a lot of people pointing out that it is on
the shorter side it leaves you almost feeling a little bit cheated like is
there more because it's almost like you're wanting it to build
up to something but then it kind of ends and I know I'm gonna get a lot of shit
for saying this but that's my initial first impression of it that it sounded
like two different songs to me but it definitely is catchy a hundred percent
just initially had I filmed like a reaction to it it would have been like
this because I was so conflicted I even went to my mom I'm like mom I don't know
how I feel about this I even filmed it she's like ''I thought
this is something serious what are you doing'' but I think it's also important to
point out that this isn't a blackpink song so all of these preconceived
notions that we might have had as fans we probably shouldn't have had them to
begin with because this is a Lady Gaga song featuring blackpink, this is on
Lady Gaga's album right and me not being like the most familiar with Lady Gaga's
sound it was it was a bit odd for me but you know kind of looking more into Lady
Gaga kind of looking back to what I remember from her from the past because
I did listen to her back in the day just dance
telephone paparazzi that was actually my ringtone on a flip phone that I had and
I had to pay like ninety nine cents but it was only the instrumental cuz you had
to pay a dollar ninety nine for her voice in the ringtone oh my goodness
anyway it's like looking back like I remember you know obviously she's she's
pop right but she often brings a lot of eccentricity and a lot of things that
might rub people the wrong way within her art but yeah you know
thinking back she does have like some odd elements to her song and I do
appreciate them so initially I was like what the hell is this but the more I
listened to it the more I tried to appreciate like the odd aspects to the
song the things that I'm not quite used to so maybe what I'm interpreting as
something that doesn't mesh together are actually two different elements that are
meant to complement each other who knows like again art is subjective but yeah
my favorite part is ''I'm sour candy''
okay so I asked you guys on my community table what you thought of this song so
let's look at some of the top comments ''Rosie and Jisoo popped off literal vocal
Queens even though it's technically not a comeback it has pink vibes and I've
never been so happy for a song to have words in the course overall a great song
to me the only thing it needs is a lisa Jennie rap moment to send it over the top''
''I think the song was a bit short but I liked it anyways''
''I feel like they could have added a bridge before ending the song or at
least the harmonization between Lady Gaga and one of the BP members it's
catchy but it kind of feels incomplete you know'' ''I didn't like the hook or how
it ended kind of disappointed I thought there was going to be a music video the
song is okay but it could be better I still like it though don't at me awesome
was better'' awesome screen and awesome long-lasting
battery life ''I love the contrast between Gaga's voice and BP's voice the song is
so addictive and dope I expect to hear in a runway for Victoria's Secret or
something and defiantly'' definitely I like the word defiantly though I
appreciate that ''definitely a dance in the club song'' I
respect your opinion but also screw Victoria's Secret ''I was so underwhelmed I really
want to like it because it's blackpink but I'm sorry it really wasn't that
great to me then again isn't sour candy just a b-side so it wasn't meant to be
something so grand I guess'' ''it was a total new concept for blackpink the
girls slayed hard and highlighted their vocal abilities in the song was
basically a slap to haters black pink just roasted haters'' so yeah overall the
rest of the comments are kind of like they either really loves the song or
they they find it underwhelming anything because blackpink is one of my ult
groups that like there's this there's there's just this sentiment that I want
to support the song anyways like I love them and I love their voices and there
are a lot of elements that I do love of the song I don't know like it is it's
like a little bit tricky because you want to support your faves but you don't
want to do so blindly either I don't know I never want to fall into that
category of just I'm gonna support anything even if I don't like it because
I just feel like it's kind of fake you don't have to love
every single thing that your faves do but then if you kind of express that you
don't like it a lot of friends will kind of come at you for that right so feel
free to let me know in the comments down below what you thought of the song and I
hope this is like a safe space to constructively share our opinions is the
lighting actually getting better as I'm ready to end this video anyways thank
