Streetwoman Fighter ep 9 & 10

FINAAALLLYYY!!

And an enjoyable finale it was. This was literally the MOST entertaining survival show I've watched so far WITH the best talent also.

The fact that JAM republic got THAT far as an international crew and made Monika emotional was super impressive. I absolutely need to watch the very first season I think haha.

The STRESS THOUGH but honestly I just want more of ...

BILLLIE - Of All We Lost EP

I was gonna put the first part on YouTube but decided it's better as a Patreon special lol.

As I say in the reaction, it's clear this is a healing mini that's a lot more simple and cathatic for them I'm sure but I do still feel like it was a missed opportunity to come back with a bang as the full line up but I hope this comes in the near future.

Vocally I think they SOUND the stro...

aespa - Whiplash Mini

The TRUE IT girls, like I know they're loving being them lool. The styling for this era is the BIGGEST stand out for me, everyone looks amazing and there are NO weak links. I'm living for it.

Overall, the music isn't my bag but that doesn't take away the quality and cohesiveness of this album, it's arguably their best!

The house influence eats and they sell it WELL but I'm a sucker...

BAEKHYUN Pineapple Slice Recording & Dance Practice

Imagine being able to sing like that?!

I love how focused he was on the details. Knows exactly what he wants and doesn't play any games in the studio.

His dance skills also serve their purpose. His choreo suits the mood of the song perfectly and is dynamic and fun!

Enjoy!

KISS OF LIFE Lose Yourself EP

I think I'm realising I have a weird relationship with Kiss Of Life.

On one hand they excite me cos they're 4 unique girls who bring a refreshing more adult like chemistry that you don't find easily AND they have the vocals to back it up. On the other hand, they're soooo close to western groups of ye old times that I can't help but want them to step it up in some way sonically.

No...

Jaehyun Smoke Recording and Dance behind

Okay.

These VOCALS were insane and it's beautiful seeing an artist that's doing music that suits them so well they seamlessly record and fly through the music whilst using different parts of their voice. And his engineer was appreciating everything he was doing so well it was a match made in heaven. I totally get it too.

He also ate the choreo, he's really a great artist with a gr...

Chance to win 3 months free Patreon!

Is anyone a SICKENING video editor??

I want a new channel intro and not feeling particularly inspired atm but would love to see if someone would be able to do something for me I'd really love.

The brief is simple and all my previous intros include these metrics:

It should be 30 secs MAX, can possible stretch to 32/33secs long.

Include several video previews with t...

ITZY GOLD Album Review

WELLLL!!

This FUCKING GAGGED ME!! What a pleasant SURPRISE!!

I don't think I've ever given out 3 10's on an album before???

The vocal layering, harmonies, ad libs, melodies, delivery, production everything just felt SO FUCKING ALIVE and rich and exciting and not phoned in.

Welcome back Lia, girl, I WAS SLEEEPING ON YOU! I WON'T ANY LONGER.

It's a shame GOLD is...

ZEROBASEONE Concert & Taerae singing & Die with You cover

This concert like FLEW BY!!

LOOL I'm not being cheeky cos I skipped some songs from Gays Planet but genuinely I love the fact that I know each member so thoroughly and 95% of their music that's still fresh. It's such a contrast to some older groups I've been discovering recently and not knowing what to expect in a concert haha.

This group is FULL OF charismatic stars which is RARE...

SEVENTEEN Spill The feels mini

Like I say in the reaction, I think this mini feels like a much needed cool down after the intensity of Maestro and Super even though God of music was there I feel like the other two were more dominant for sure.

Looooved the video for the title track a LOT but definitely disappointing by the music not really doing anything else. A lost opportunity there. Maybe DJ Khalid would've done bet...

XDINARY HEROES Live and Fall Album and Behind Recording

I genuinely think Xdinary Heroes are the ONLY THING keeping me sane atm.

Their unpredictability, creativity, talent and artistry is just unmatched. This really made me soo happy and I think is my favourite album AND comeback of theirs so far.

Once again the title track is pretty safe and predictable and I understand it's for the masses but the masses would be like WTF when they list...

Le Sserafim Crazier Recording

The biggest surprise for me was Eunchae! Her sounds is sooo open and relaxed. Now how this would apply to a more complicated rhythm and song is to be investigated but she really surprised me.

Chaewon was easily my favourite overall delivery wise. I'd like to see them do more of this if they are focused on growing as vocalists however I do think the biggest issue is they don't utilise the...

DAY6 Entropy Album

THE DAY has arrived cos my GOD we certainly do have some DAY6 Shooters haha.

After listening to the album I can definitely understand why although I feel like the middle of it got a bit tooo confusing and experimental for my tastes.

Vocally they definitely know how to deliver, no surprises there and I'm EXTRA annoyed that I naturally fell for Jae the most. It's like I enjoy PAIN yo...

FIFTY FIFTY Love Tune EP

Welllllll!!

One thing this company does very well is find a sound that WORKS. This very much feels like a continuation of "cupid" sonically. Even gagged me a couple times lool.

The last song felt a little out of place but also was the most in your face vocally so I'm not too mad ad it's inclusion.

Happy that Chanelle's debuted at least because she's a very talented girl, he...

NATTY Mujin Service

Another Kiss of life member and once again a lot of insight here.

For someone that trained for 10 years, I'm really surprised at her lack of basic foundation in breathing technique and phrasing. Perhaps she spent more of that time focused on dancing which she excels at.

I'd love for her to get her breathing down, it'll definitely unlock parts of her delivery that'll benefit her im...

YUTA Debut Album

VOCALS VOCALS VOCALS!

I'm very proud of Yuta for putting his all in to this. Though this is not the genre I go to, it was a joy to listen to cos of the vocal production and hidden melodic moments that please my ears lool.

Also the chord progressions in general leaned more towards pop sounds I'm used to so it worked for me!

I'll love for him to do some sickening live perform...

KATSEYE Weekly Idol

I really love that they were on this and I'm so glad with how they handled it. Kamden did a great job as did my HUNNY Boom and the other guy lol.

Seeing them do dance covers shows how much potential they have for grittier more mature sounds. Pink Venom and Crazy GAGGED ME!! Like I can't WAIT. Megan ATE.

Also DANI is definitely my bias. I'm obsessed with her demeanour and talent. ...

PARAMORE - After Laughter & Brand New Eyes Album

I WAS curious and finally did it! It's been a long time coming.

I'm glad I started with these albums because they're drastically different but also makes me more excited to listen to the most recent album.

Everyone was screaming After Laughter and I could understand why though after a couple songs it started to lose my attention, it's definitely more of an album to listen to in th...

SNSD Holiday Night Album

I CAN SEE why everyone wanted me to listen to it so bad, I was resistant cos I'm not a fan of Holiday and All night AT ALLLLLLL but that's not to see they're badly produced songs at all, they sounds great, I just don't like them.

THROUGHOUT the album though this feels the most out there, passionate vocal album in their catalogue. They also experimented more with certain parts and added s...

TVXQ Tokyo Dome Concert

I just love singers!! Even when Im not thoroughly enjoying the songs which happens A LOT, there were sadly many but it didn't deter my curiosity or make me want to skip that badly.

In terms of vocals, Changmin really shined here. His voice was definitely maturing and felt the most forward and clearest out of everyone.

Dozen also ate, there's something very pure about his tone. Of ...

P1HARMONY Weekly idol + it's alright live

This is one of the best weekly idol episodes I've EVER seen.

There's a sense of maturity and authenticity in the speaking, it felt way more uncensored but maybe that's P1's energy too?

Honestly, Boom is an AMAZING host. As I mentioned, I honestly thin the can handle the gig on his own, he overpowers the other guy so much who, pretty as he is, doesn't really add much? lol

I ...

BTOB 'The Song' & 'Heaven' Recordings

FINALLY!

I mean after I watched The Song I was hooked and wanted to see more because the technicality and ease from the vocalists is just so fascinating to watch.

Peniel leaves A LOOOOT to be desired with his delivery in comparison to everyone else but hey if they like it, I love it.

I'll be doing more of these for sure. Loved hearing Minhyuk's voice when he was showing the...

RUN BTS Ep 79 & 80 + Wake up challenge

I thought I might as well rewatch what was my favourite variety episode when I first watched it. This is the kind of content I lived for and tbh Run BTS rarely misses. They managed to really have games within games and great energy from all the members.

I'll be doing more RUN BTS for sure!

Enjoy!

WAYV Japanese debut album

Hmm.

Here it's a battle of preference and quality I think. I don't think the songs are on par with their recent work in English/Korean/Chinese BUT I also think they're playing with new genres which SOUND a bit more rough/raw than their usual.

In a way it's very commendable how adventurous this is sonically so I can't fault them for that.

So I hope they have a successful debu...

NCT WISH Steady Album

OKAY so my frame of my mind right now shows exactly why I felt the way I did.

I don't remember ANYTHING :( LOL. Which is sad cos the production and vocal quality is excellent but something that excites me is missing.

Maybe this will come as they mature but what even is maturing sonically in kpop? Riku is still my bias and star and also Sion's dancing is NO JOKE but yeah, I'm a bit l...

KEY Mujin Service & TAEMIN Horizon MV

I'M SO glad he surprised me!! I wanted to hear how relaxed he could be and he SHOWED OUT.

His phrasing and delivery is some of the best I've heard on Mujin service. Masterful and clearly aware on what he wants to do with his voice and his years of experience show.

Taemin's Horizon MV is actually SOO iconic I wish he was able to do something like that whilst he was in SM cos the di...

P1HARMONY - Sad Song EP

This was a pleasant surprise fr!

The amount of work put in to the vocal production and layering/ad libs throughout made this really fun to listen to! Everything felt well thought out and specific ONLY to P1harmony which is always a win in my book.

I'm kinda obsessed with Jiung? He has a particular energy and tone that really intrigued me. Theo also has a great voice, his approach ...

GoSe - TTT 1 (Failed reaction) & Trap #1

TTT was just so hard to react to lol, don't think I was in the mood for it. I was definitely more in the mood for a game variety episode. TTT was reminding me more of In the soop and I know they get drunk in the next episode as always so I may do that another time. I don't usually love horror specials either but this I didn't mind as much cos it was SOO creepy.

I REALLLY would love to se...

Streetwoman Fighter 2 ep 8

SO SAD This is nearly coming to a close. Every episode is STILL SO GOOD?!?!

Lia Kim deserved props for her battle imo. One of the best in the series and I didn't even know that was in her arsenal considering the male One Million didn't have those skills really.

I was SO HAPPY to see my man TRIX. Argh I need more of him!

Mannequeen also brought such great energy throughout. ...

Grammar PSA.

This is gonna sound real extra but I'm on my knees.

I LOVEEE long comments, trust me but PLEASEEEEE

USE PARAGRAPHS and spacing. It makes it MUCH easier to read. Notice my captions on my videos all have paragraphs so it's as easy to read possible cos I yap away with my keyboard.

Please try to do the same with me.

PLEASEEEE LOOOL Thank you!!
