Kcon 2016 concert 7/30 livestream liveblog
LOLZ IOI doing their best AKB impression, what with the outfits, the unison sing-yelling, and the pure pop arrangement and structures. The incessant major-key compositions on the dance songs are more E-girls, though.
Wow, it's like watching the 4th-tier sousenkyo group. (Except in 48G, the 4th tier group usually gets the good song)
Wow, Dean has full vocals going on all of his tracks, does he not trust his ability to go live, have shit stamina, or does he not have proper instrumentals to use? I highly dislike when artists do this.
Good music, though. Gotta fully respect that.
Is this....is this a Royal Road song? ROFLMAO Wow, Girlfriend still have that rookie energy going strong. They have sync like 6-nin S/mileage, and choreo like an Avex girlgroup, got that "fresh" 90s/early 00s Kpop bubblegum style going strong. Their music is very wotagei-able, hah. Arrangements range from Johnny's-esque to new jack swing 80s influence. I'd be happy to follow them if I was still in Kpop instead of H!P. No wonder they're on the rise.
Oh man Key has that fugly bowl cut why do Koreans ever think that looks good why does anyone get it.
Whoops, missed the name of this rap duo act because of lag.
More interested in the LA backdancers for this act. They seem to be having fun. And interesting that it's cheaper to teach local backdancers the choreo on short notice, than to fly dancers in like they're on tour.
Wait Dean's back? Collab track, I guess. And still singing on top of the original vocals, argh. At least he didn't go so far as to leave the original rapping in on this one. Ugh, I bet Drake and DJ Mustard are strong influences on Dean's composition and performance style.
Welp, what's-her-name from IOI sang over Taeyeon backing vocals STOP DOING THAT KPOP.
Ooh, special stages! Man, I lived through the golden age of gayo daejun collabs. This is better than they are now, but still. Eh.
Wow, they're not even pretending that to sing over the backing track. They actively removed the live vocals after a second. It's like H!P: head mics are lip-synced. Only trust hand mics.
Hee, get that para-para, Girlfriend.
OMG IT'S KJK HAHAHAHAHAHA I DIDN'T REALIZE HE HAD THIS BOYBAND PAST OMG HAHAHAHAHAHAHA FLY VOICE
Man, 90s music was so gloriously bad-good and meme-tastic. These sunglasses hahahahaha. And now Astro and Gfriend backdancing. I wonder how long ago they learned that choreo.
OMG THEY'RE DOING THE KJK SONG HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA DYING HAHAHAHAHAHAHA hrm, backdancers for this number seem mostly asians with a couple notable exceptions. Are they still all locals?
Man, what happened to Dalmation? Are they disbanded yet?
Hrm, does Zico?'s jacket count as a proper sukajan? Also, what the fuck is up with his mullet that's pretty heinous is this supposed to be some sort of hipster shit
Meh, their first two songs aren't quite my thing, as music. And it really doesn't work well with a boyband roster. They look silly, where a soloist could be a lot looser, like Dean was. Lol whatsis with the giant-ass glasses hiding his hair in a baseball cap looks kinda like Seungri.
At least the third song was fun. Some of the members are still not nearly loose enough for this, though. Makes them still feel like try-hard rookies, besides Zico, and maybe Seungri-alike. They really need to trim some fat.
omg Shinee having some ridic colorful styling never fails.
I noted at the Google concert years ago how the veteran top tier groups have huge difference in weight of atmosphere (referring to DBSK), and man, Shinee are there now, except for Minho ofc. It's okay, he still makes bank, I understand why he's still there. But he's finally starting to grow out of his babyface? Another 5 years, and he'll probably be in that KJK space, actually relax into the groove by just being self-amused. Yet, he's still osmosed enough from his fellow members that he's still better than all but 2-3 members of Block B. Also, yep, they have the best music tonight.
Calm the fuck down, Taemin, emphasizing harder is not actually emoting harder in ballads. Do you just draw ever more emphatic arrows during pictionary? That kind of thing is why I don't listen to JYJ stuff, either. Jonghyun already comes really close, why are you trying to outdo him instead of following Onew or Key's better examples. (Oh right, because gdi Jaejoong) Having second thoughts about checking out your solo stuff now.
Lol they have much more substantial head-mics than Astro did on their 90s cover that they lip-synced.
Huh, no Married to the Music. Interesting setlist choices. But they still got their super-extra Tony Testa choreo in with Everybody.
Wait, I though TTS was supposed to perform? And Davichi? And BTS? Are they only doing tomorrow? Are most of today's artist's repeating tomorrow, except with the additions? (maybe they're gonna truncate some of the nugus)
