I'll agree to that but only the current Girl's Day, with the current 4 members doing concepts more on the sexy side. Pretty much everything from "Expectation" onward.
Their best song though imo is "Something" which I already posted on page 1
I won't lie, they all look like kids to me. But damn that music is catchy.
The trap here is that the two youngest are actually the two tallest members who can potentially still grow taller. Probably the two with the brightest future as well.
Just got in after binge watching Produce 48 on Youtube. Now I'm an Iz*One fan. In fact, I bought their debut album (both 2 versions). I see a bright future for them.
I didn't watch the whole thing, I was initially somewhat upset with the whole AKB48 collab. I watched the first couple of episodes just to see the Japanese girls get told they suck by the judges which I wasn't disappointed by, and also to see the initial talent pool. The vocal talent on display was far inferior to what was seen in season 1 of Produce 101. Yeah a few girls could sing well but nobody was close to
Sejeong or Yeonjeong. Yuri seems to be the best voice in IZ*ONE but she's still nowhere near those two. But I did notice
the two Starship kids in their initial evaluation. They've got the visuals, they're tall, they can sing and dance well enough and have decent charisma and stage presence for such a young age, so I was sure they would make into IZ*ONE. I predict Yujin will be the next Suzy, while she doesn't look exactly like her, she totally gives off the same vibe and
has enough vocal talent to have a solo career similar to Suzy's, though I suspect Starship will put her into a group with Wonyoung once IZ*ONE disbands first.
I still don't like the fact that a lot of times on these Produce shows popularity often plays a bigger part than talent and good performances in the public voting; happens way too often that a team gets robbed.
Rumor team should've won the concept eval for sure in Produce 48, just like
Yeonjeong's team should've beaten Somi's team on their ITNW performances in Produce 101, especially with Yeonjeong totally nailing Tayeon's and Jessica's ad-libs at the end of the song. As for IZ*ONE having a bright future the group is a temporary group like all the Produce groups, here though it will last 2 and a half years so it's a lot better than I.O.I who only lasted like 7 months. There's no doubt that if I.O.I would have been a permanent group they would be dominating among girl groups, there was too much talent and visuals there. But surprisingly none of the groups that integrated I.O.I members went on to be very popular. In fact I would says that Chung Ha, whose company decided to debut her as a solo artist, is the most successful I.O.I member these days.
I'm into the girls singing kpop. They're the height of what can be achieved in the plastic surgery department. But the music? No. For starters I can't understand the lyrics.
Plastic surgery is much rarer these days, it's not like 10 years ago. It's more frowned upon now, plus Korean makeup has made huge strides in the last 4-5 years. As for not understanding the lyrics, that's a poor excuse since other than SM all the other companies put English subs on their Youtube videos, you just gotta hit the CC button. There's also some songs that have English versions like
Red Velvets "Bad Boy" or my favorite Kpop Christmas song which is totally appropriate for this time of the year (TTS is the best sub-unit ever btw):
