LITERALLY. There have been 1 or 2 dreamcatcher songs I thought were meh but none I hated. Their bad day is still better then your average groups good day.
@@shanlie3505 can you make video about lipsync and live? Since there are a lot of new groups popping up, I want to know if they sing live or not. I'm curious about their vocals. 😅 Btw, thanks for the new video 👍
to be fair, dreamcatcher's NFT project didn't go on. insomnias complained a lot about it and the company fixed their mistake. it seems that they didn't know about its consequences at all fortunately they donated millions to school fence forest development projects and the girls constantly talked about their bad habits that changed
BEcause is my fav song by Dreamcatcher, I really wish they do something more gothic like this again, but I dont dislike none of their title tracks, I like all of them in different levels. I dont really get why so many people dislike Maison, but its taste, we cant argue. My least fav song by DC is Fly High, I dont dislike it, but I dont love so much as the others.
I thought Pretty Savage was just fine until it got to the end and instead of the party chorus I'd been expecting they did THAT. For the last chorus alone, I will probably always be slightly obsessed. I love how detailed your commentary is! I don't have all the same best/worst opinions but agree with so many of the things you point out.
For me, Idles best bsides are Dhalia and Lucid and the best title tracks are Oh my God, Lion, Hwaa and Hann. I like the title tracks they doing now(since tomboy), but I dont feel they are as good as they used to be before?
I also enjoyed their previous concept more. Tomboy was great for me and queencard is ok but this hyper self aware concept they've been going for since Nxxde is gonna bite them in the butt if they're not careful.
my fav bsides are probably Lost and Moon and i agree, their previous concepts/tracks were better. when i listen to queencard i just hear tomboy, like the first verse, the rap section, the bridge… it just feels so repetitive and older idle’s tracks were nothing but. i hope they switch up things a little because i really love them and i’d hate to see their music quality drop so much
Lucid is my fav song rn omg it's so goregous and delicious and moon is my 2nd fav and then already from I never die/ villain dies as my 3rd. Fav Title track is 100% oh my god
For me, Deja Vu is the best Dreamcatcher song, followed by Piri. I grew up with symphonic metal, and Deja Vu is really reminiscent of that. The song is pure perfection, makes me emotional every time I listen to is. Especially the acoustic version!!
Not Step Back, We Fresh, Zero, Why Not and Crazy Over You being some of my fave songs from these groups lmao I agree with most of your other choices though, and I was lowkey expecting all of these songs to be on the worst side anyways
I agree with all of your choices, but the comment about Soyeon's English didn't sit right with me. I understand why people dislike her use of English in songs, and it's fine to voice that opinion, but a lot of her English lyrics are written with the intention of being unserious, or as an expression of self that she would rather not have another person write, so calling Soyeon's English fucking shit feels a little brash, especially as a non-native English speaker myself. I still think you make a lot of really good points in terms of music criticism though :)
Her English writing has genuinely made some gidle songs unlistenable. Saying you make crap on purpose doesn't change the fact it's crap. That what you call *Pretentious* I've seen a lot of people suddenly saying her English is bad on purpose to disguise the fact it's just bad writing. She can't speak English and has the worst pronunciation in the group. She doesn't actually understand the undertones and thats why fans have no choice but to take it at face value. My bag is as good as it gets for her and Nathan did half the work on that song helping her with all the English. However Soyeon is a freaking AMAZING Rapper and Performer. Her sections in KDA and Stage presence really hit.
I don't get why she doesn't just write the lyrics in English, go over them with someone who knows English well, and figure something out so that what she wants to say comes through AND it makes sense.
There's people that call it out as it is I'm also a non english speaker but I'm sorry if she's not at least going to make it sound decent just stop all together
So I agreed with almost everything you said. But then I started SCREAMING with joy at Loona's best. HI HIGH OH MY GODDDD. Hi High is literally my favorite K-Pop song of all time and I feel like no one ever acknowledges it. Thank you so much, that made my day.
I wasn’t exactly sure how to pin down why Maison doesn’t sit right with me but you nailed it. I love the song but when I think of the meaning I’m like ok Dreamcatcher you lost me 😂 one of those songs I listen to and ignore the lyrics lol
honestly the intro warning made me instantly press like because its so truuuue. Then after watching the whole video, I subscribed since the opinions are honest and playful without being rude to the girls. Plus now I know what songs to check out since you put samples of the songs in the video. hearing the songs made it an enjoyable 12 minutes to experience.

Yup.. That NFT bs was DCC's worst move. I've checked it in some posts, and boy it was not worth it at all. I'd rather spend money on fan made art works than those. Anyways, to your point, BEcause is great. Been a fan back in late 2021 and this is one of them songs that got me hooked to DC. Its like a fusion of genres. For me its a go to song if u want to change your mood for a bit. As for Maison, I really love the way they arranged it. Though it may sound simple, its still catchy specially the chorus. The downside for me is the bridge. The way the key changed and all is kinda abrupt for me. Overall its a good song. Aftr all, its DC's first win track😊
Do you agree or disagree with some of these? I listen to just about *everything* girl-group related on new albums as a multi-stan. And let's just say there are some interesting song choices, good and bad.
@@suaAaAaA I like the chorus of queencard but the 2nd verse absolutely ruins it for me. referencing Ariana and Kim K take me right out of the song. Also "boob and booty hot" 💀💀
If that rock version was the official one for “Pretty Savage”, I’d 100% agree with you! But since it’s not… It’s actually my least favorite song by BP. Not only was I not impressed by the usual empty chorus structure, but I just hated the stem that they used. It has a similar quality to the one in Kep1er’s “We Fresh” where it just feels like the sound is grating against my eardrums.

I may not have agreed with all of your choices, but I appreciate you taking the time to explain your rationale! ❤️
About Dreamcatcher I'll definitely have to agree with Maison because it was pretty meh, especially for kicking off the Apocalypse Trilogy (?), Vision and Bon Voyage, especially the latter have definitely done it for me though. Still can't get over the guitars in Vision and the way Bon Voyage's choruses hit. Still stuff like this depends on what people enjoy. BEcause is really up there on my list for just how well it utilizes their sound and abilities, with the unique concept.
@@hikarunara2585 Depends on your taste I guess. Personally I enjoyed the bolder lyrics and concept (though it's not that shallow). The anti-drop was kinda meh at first but now it hits. At first listen however, if you don't get what they're trying to do or are just new in general it sounds pretty cocky is all I guess. I'd honestly pick it over Maison any day.
I get what youre saying but girl you really think happyface is a billion dollar company 💀 like maybe a few billion Won ig and what pollution are they doing compared to the actual polluting industries
You’re so right about Maison!! Now that it’s been a while I find it kind of funny that they made a song about global warming and announced NFTs the day after but I was PISSED at the time. I don’t really disagree with any of your choices (except Why Not, that song goes hard). Also comparing Step Back to THAT SONG killed me, like you’re so real for that.
Voltage truly is the best thing Itzy came out with lately. I feel Crazy In Love is like the little sister. It's Voltage before it went through puberty. Idk why! I love it so much. We need more stuff like that.
(In French because I was lazy to translate T-T) J'adore cette vidéo, et surtout les explications ! C'est clair et pertinent, bien loin des commentaires stupides qu'on trouve souvent dans ce genre de contenu. On voit que tu as une véritable sensibilité musicale, ça m'a passionnée de te lire ! Je suis même d'accord avec la plupart de tes choix, SAUF un ! Je trouve que Maison est très très très loin d'être mauvaise (et je ne dis pas ça parce que le titre est français ;) Les riffs de guitares sont percutants et dynamiques, l'écriture est intense et sûre d'elle, la mélodie est tranchante et rythmée. La chanson gagne en intensité tout le long et évolue de façon naturelle. Avec Maison, Dreamcatcher élargie ses horizons en ajoutant une touche de funk qui rend la chanson plus décontracté et unique. Je pense sincèrement que c'est une des meilleures title track du groupe. Le message et les paroles n'ont aucune importance face à une production aussi qualitative ! Quitte à choisir la pire chanson de Dreamcatcher, j'opterais pour une de leurs ballades inutiles et bien souvent fades qui concluent chacun de leur album avec un fan service évitable. Maison est objectivement bien meilleure qui toutes ces chansons fatiguée et sans créativité. Sorry for french, it's was too complicated for me to explain, so I did not risk myself in a language I'm not fluent in. Anaway, amazing video, it was fun !
Thank you and I agree about what you said for Dreamcatcher! The lyrical work and musical work are technically different. And musically Maison is pretty great.
I have to say I disagree- as an avid listener of everything Dreamcatcher and an autistic person who has a restricted interest in Dreamcatcher, Maison tried really hard to cash in on what was popular at the time (Tomboy, Good Boy Gone Bad) and ultimately fell flat- the lyrics were borderline Soyeons TikTok rap bad at points, specifically in the chorus and it gets rather unlistenable after a few gos. However, love the instrumental, to be honest, save for the very end of the song. Also the whole NFT song and blatant political messaging meant that even for me, a anarcho-communist I was pretty much out after the first few listens haha I guess my real issue is with your ballad comment, as while some of their ballads are yes, fan service-y (Dear, Always, etc) songs like for instance A Heart of Sunflower (which is about loving someone who will never love you back and knowing that they won’t but still trying to get them to) or Trust Me, which is a heartwrenching ballad about literally not being okay (the climax of the song is “Just being happy is all I really want”)- have different meanings and aren’t fan service, and even if they were… it doesn’t make them bad songs, but I can see your reasoning why you wouldn’t like ballads, I just like hearing their vocals get another chance to shine, I think. Personally, for Dreamcatchers worst song, even though I bashed Maison, I’d really have to say Curse of the Spider as I can’t even get though the first 10 seconds. Sorry if this was really harsh- autism and tone reading don’t go well together, but I did enjoy reading what you had to say even if I don’t agree with it. Let me know if you need this translated into French, I have a friend who’s fluent and can do so :3
@@elea_naur In general groups that try to preach real world issues they actively participate in hurting always ruins a song for me. G-idles allergy is like that. They're preaching about self love and not changing yourself. As if they're poor & "not like other girls". Yet all I can think of is Miyeons Deeptee diet sponsor and all the PS they had to get in order to gain their wealth & love. Crying about not having Channel but they wear Gucci & Prada daily in real life XD
@@shanlie3505 agreed- I personally like allergy, the chorus hits a really big spot for me as someone who has struggled with ed among various other issues but I really don’t like how it took them until they were at the peak? Or current peak to talk about these issues like they haven’t been an issue, and it feels a bit cash grabby to be only talking about it now. I’m a casual fan of idle but hearing Miyeon did a diet sponsor doesn’t surprise me, it just disappoints me that they’re not practicing what they preach, but you also have to remember these groups are here to make money not to enact social change, and therefore any time they try it won’t come off right, no matter how earnest because it’s a cash grab at the end of the day no matter what. A song that kind of does it but isn’t known for being a “enact social change” would be boca for me, if only because we know the messaging but it wasn’t directly telling us to save the fucking jungle or telling us that we don’t need to be pretty while also being about being pretty and knowing one of them advertised a diet thing. I guess, tl;dr it has to go back to the fact companies really only do this “social change” when it’s profitable and they think just marketing it as such will make it good, and that’s where it ends up coming off really insincere :3 I would say they should stop but we know they won’t because capitalism and BTS showed you can do it and make money
how are you so talented as an artist and still have the talent to only push out good opinions? I keep seeing your art on pinterest and it reminds me to check your uploads. also not gonna lie Life's Too Short sounds like a taylor swift song from 2019
I respect all of these opinions tbh. They had great points to back them up besides just how it sounds subjectively. Personally, for After Like, I felt like the sample got repetitive really fast. Im obsessed with nearly all of Ive's new album (with the exception of hypnosis and heroine and cherish..)
Ive after like is a MASTERPIECE! I can't really explain it, but it actually tingles my spine and if I close my eyes the auditory wonderland takes me away into beautiful visuals.
I could add SO MANY more songs to the worst list. I agree with most of your choices, especially during Maison I was glad you mentioned it. Honestly also a bit surprised you managed to find a "Good" song for Kep1er, because I think exactly the same with pretty much no real vocal.
Kep1er has good songs tho. It's just that their good songs are usually bsides that no one has the time to even bother listen to ( eg. back to the city + other good songs I can recommend from many genres too ). Up! is the only unanimously loved title track (by the fandom itself). At this point, we stan for the talented girls & their bsides. Also, they mainly criticized the music quality not the girls vocal skills. They are decent enough as *some* 4th gen groups in terms of vocal skills which overall is a generation focused on performance anyway.
I completely agree with your opinion on step back. When i first heard it i was like this instrumental sucks and does not fit the melodic line or vocals AT ALL. I could never get into it because of that. But also the "step back silly girl" line like what is that
I lost trust in you just in the end of the video after seeing "crazy over you" as wrost. I mean "Pink venom" the wannabe crazy over you is chilling right in the corner.
my biggest gripe with crazy over you is the intro where you get to hear a mcdonald's straw being violated and the sounds of a chew toy being chokeslammed against the studio mic
Oh yeah Tally is right there with it, I considered tally and kick it as my other 2 least favorite bp songs. Picking a favorite was also hard tho. I really love see you later, aiiyl, pwf, and lovesick girls.
i get that the composers were trying to do dutch house on we fresh but it just came out sounding like a damn mess on the other hand i will forgive zero for being a coke ad because anything dnb will activate my neurons
I'm so glad you did not put my fav songs from some of the girl groups as the worst song haha Here are my fav, and I would recommend these songs 1. Twice: moonlight sunrise, set me free, feel special 2. STAYC: young luv, love, run2u (tak remix) 3. Aespa: ICU, Dreams Come True, Black Mamba 4. NewJeans: ditto, omg 5. IVE: Kitsch 6. Le Sserafim: No Return, Eve, good parts, Sour Grapes, Choices, No Celestial 7. (G)I-DLE: paradise 8. IZ*ONE: secret story of the swan 9. Blackpink: yeah yeah yeah
The best dreamcatcher song in my opinion is odd eye and the worst is maybe people will disagree with me but the worst is endless night i keep listening to it because a lot people love it but i can't like it. Maison actually not that bad but not good too hahaha i like vision more than maison but bonvoyage is banger i'm so happy they end this trilogy with bonvoyage.
I'm so happy someone else is talking about Soyeons terrible english. Listen, I love (G)I-dle, but for the love of god, either she gets some lessons in english pronounciation, or she stops singing/rapping in english all together. Whenever they have a comeback, I just pray that there is no english parts from her. She speaks english as if it was like french. She removes the ending of half of the words for some reason. And it surprises me that the others go along with it. As far as I know, at least Minnie and Yuqi are both pretty good at english pronounciation. Just listen to Yuqi's solo stuff. How do they not listen to her part and immediately give her some pointers???
I AGREE ABOUT LOONA HI HIGH IS THEIR BEST i hate all their released songs after that song i was there when the solors were releasing and was obsessed with them hi high was perfect for a debut loved OEC pre hi high and yves solo album my faV
Nmixx new album direction definitely took a turn for the better. I hope it's not too late for them to grab ppls attention. Paxxword should have been the pre-release instead of Young dumb stupid. That song turned lots of ppl away from giving them a 3rd chance because love me like this was actually decent.
Anyways, how i was saying, We Fresh best Kep1er TT. AND YEAH, I'M LISTENING TO FUCKING BUENOS AIRES BC IT'S ABOUT MY COUNTRY, THIS SONG IS MY FUCKING PRIDEEE, VAMO ARGENTINAAAAAAAAAAA
Wow! These are exactly my picks! I only disagree with Itzy's best. I love Voltage, that song is truly Bratz music at its peak in the best way possible, but I believe Dalla Dalla is still their best. As an orbit I also disagree with songs you choose for Loona. As a full group High Hi is definitely their best followed by favOuriTe, but damn I still can't watch this without mentioning Loonatic and Sonatine... Their pre-debut era is unmatched. Anyways their worst imo is Dance on my own, that song is so basic that it pains me. Also, Luminous is obnoxious
RIP Woohoo from TWICE that's one of my fave b-sides on page two LMAOOO. I laughed so hard at the Zero by NewJeans one lolll it's a cool song and it's just an ad so loll. Then for Blackpink, I'm not a fan I just listen to some but damn I actually like crazy over you loll. I respect ur opinions tho :D
i agree with u, TB was kind of weak, but they had fun with it and atleast still won an award, so im okay with it just hoping they'll be back with more banger, and i hope it'll be a full album, not just a single
Twice Best FANCY and Feel special They are perfect they have reached a standard so high no one can do it except Redvelvet obviuslt like OK THIS IS THE SHIT ! Worst MOONLIGHT SUNRISE When i think about Songs like knock knock , Fancy , Feel special and signal i cry of happiness When i hear MOONLIGHT Sunrise i cry of disappointment
I like Maison but I don't actually disagree. That being said, just a minor correction. DCC isn't worth billions since it's a really small company. Like, they only have 20 people running that place. Other than that, yeah. That was a pretty bad move
When Dreamcatcher songs are so iconic it's only the production that ruins it.

Voltage truly is the best thing Itzy came out with lately. I feel Crazy In Love is like the little sister. It's Voltage before it went through puberty. Idk why! I love it so much. We need more stuff like that.
BRO LUCID IS SOOOO GOOD IM SO HAPPY YOU PUT IT AS BEST THO TBH I LIKE SOYEONS ENGLISH BC IT SOUNDS COOL IF YOU JUST WANT TO VIBE TO MUSIC
(In French because I was lazy to translate T-T)
J'adore cette vidéo, et surtout les explications ! C'est clair et pertinent, bien loin des commentaires stupides qu'on trouve souvent dans ce genre de contenu. On voit que tu as une véritable sensibilité musicale, ça m'a passionnée de te lire ! Je suis même d'accord avec la plupart de tes choix, SAUF un !
Je trouve que Maison est très très très loin d'être mauvaise (et je ne dis pas ça parce que le titre est français ;) Les riffs de guitares sont percutants et dynamiques, l'écriture est intense et sûre d'elle, la mélodie est tranchante et rythmée. La chanson gagne en intensité tout le long et évolue de façon naturelle. Avec Maison, Dreamcatcher élargie ses horizons en ajoutant une touche de funk qui rend la chanson plus décontracté et unique. Je pense sincèrement que c'est une des meilleures title track du groupe. Le message et les paroles n'ont aucune importance face à une production aussi qualitative ! Quitte à choisir la pire chanson de Dreamcatcher, j'opterais pour une de leurs ballades inutiles et bien souvent fades qui concluent chacun de leur album avec un fan service évitable. Maison est objectivement bien meilleure qui toutes ces chansons fatiguée et sans créativité.
Sorry for french, it's was too complicated for me to explain, so I did not risk myself in a language I'm not fluent in. Anaway, amazing video, it was fun !
Thank you and I agree about what you said for Dreamcatcher! The lyrical work and musical work are technically different. And musically Maison is pretty great.
I have to say I disagree- as an avid listener of everything Dreamcatcher and an autistic person who has a restricted interest in Dreamcatcher, Maison tried really hard to cash in on what was popular at the time (Tomboy, Good Boy Gone Bad) and ultimately fell flat- the lyrics were borderline Soyeons TikTok rap bad at points, specifically in the chorus and it gets rather unlistenable after a few gos. However, love the instrumental, to be honest, save for the very end of the song. Also the whole NFT song and blatant political messaging meant that even for me, a anarcho-communist I was pretty much out after the first few listens haha
I guess my real issue is with your ballad comment, as while some of their ballads are yes, fan service-y (Dear, Always, etc) songs like for instance A Heart of Sunflower (which is about loving someone who will never love you back and knowing that they won’t but still trying to get them to) or Trust Me, which is a heartwrenching ballad about literally not being okay (the climax of the song is “Just being happy is all I really want”)- have different meanings and aren’t fan service, and even if they were… it doesn’t make them bad songs, but I can see your reasoning why you wouldn’t like ballads, I just like hearing their vocals get another chance to shine, I think.
Personally, for Dreamcatchers worst song, even though I bashed Maison, I’d really have to say Curse of the Spider as I can’t even get though the first 10 seconds.
Sorry if this was really harsh- autism and tone reading don’t go well together, but I did enjoy reading what you had to say even if I don’t agree with it. Let me know if you need this translated into French, I have a friend who’s fluent and can do so :3
@@elea_naur In general groups that try to preach real world issues they actively participate in hurting always ruins a song for me.
G-idles allergy is like that. They're preaching about self love and not changing yourself. As if they're poor & "not like other girls". Yet all I can think of is Miyeons Deeptee diet sponsor and all the PS they had to get in order to gain their wealth & love.
Crying about not having Channel but they wear Gucci & Prada daily in real life XD
@@shanlie3505 agreed- I personally like allergy, the chorus hits a really big spot for me as someone who has struggled with ed among various other issues but I really don’t like how it took them until they were at the peak? Or current peak to talk about these issues like they haven’t been an issue, and it feels a bit cash grabby to be only talking about it now. I’m a casual fan of idle but hearing Miyeon did a diet sponsor doesn’t surprise me, it just disappoints me that they’re not practicing what they preach, but you also have to remember these groups are here to make money not to enact social change, and therefore any time they try it won’t come off right, no matter how earnest because it’s a cash grab at the end of the day no matter what.
A song that kind of does it but isn’t known for being a “enact social change” would be boca for me, if only because we know the messaging but it wasn’t directly telling us to save the fucking jungle or telling us that we don’t need to be pretty while also being about being pretty and knowing one of them advertised a diet thing.
I guess, tl;dr it has to go back to the fact companies really only do this “social change” when it’s profitable and they think just marketing it as such will make it good, and that’s where it ends up coming off really insincere :3
I would say they should stop but we know they won’t because capitalism and BTS showed you can do it and make money
how are you so talented as an artist and still have the talent to only push out good opinions? I keep seeing your art on pinterest and it reminds me to check your uploads. also not gonna lie Life's Too Short sounds like a taylor swift song from 2019
When you said Voltage for ITZY I SCREAMED yesssssssss. You have taste girl
Do i understand every person who complains about 'life's too short'? Yes
Will it stop me from absolutely loving this song? No XD
exactly 😂
I respect all of these opinions tbh. They had great points to back them up besides just how it sounds subjectively. Personally, for After Like, I felt like the sample got repetitive really fast. Im obsessed with nearly all of Ive's new album (with the exception of hypnosis and heroine and cherish..)
There is a reason Why some many ppl still thinks that Loona has the Best 4th gen debut.
Ive after like is a MASTERPIECE! I can't really explain it, but it actually tingles my spine and if I close my eyes the auditory wonderland takes me away into beautiful visuals.
I could add SO MANY more songs to the worst list. I agree with most of your choices, especially during Maison I was glad you mentioned it.
Honestly also a bit surprised you managed to find a "Good" song for Kep1er, because I think exactly the same with pretty much no real vocal.
imo the only good kep1er song is up
Kep1er has good songs tho. It's just that their good songs are usually bsides that no one has the time to even bother listen to ( eg. back to the city + other good songs I can recommend from many genres too ).
Up! is the only unanimously loved title track (by the fandom itself). At this point, we stan for the talented girls & their bsides.
Also, they mainly criticized the music quality not the girls vocal skills. They are decent enough as *some* 4th gen groups in terms of vocal skills which overall is a generation focused on performance anyway.
im not a kepler fan but the bsides from their latest album are absolutely perfect, lvly is their best song
Kep1er didn't drop mvsk, up! and back to the city for you to say that
I’ve never listened to step back with headphones, why does it sound like that 💀💀
I actually dont know how we fresh passed inspection like that song was a joke.
I LOVE WHERE IS LOVE AND LUCID 😭😭. Their worst is easily the dollar song
Stayc like this is my favorite b -side
I completely agree with your opinion on step back. When i first heard it i was like this instrumental sucks and does not fit the melodic line or vocals AT ALL. I could never get into it because of that. But also the "step back silly girl" line like what is that
i like crazy over you it makes me wanna twerk😭
YESSS BECAUSE IS SO GOODD
i don’t support WOOHOO slander in this household………
right like😫😫😫
I think bet you wanna is worse than crazy over you... the instrumentals for crazy over you and dance break is rlly good...
And that's how I knew your love for y2k is fake
OH MY GOD YESSS i always say taht hi high is PERFECT and everyone finds it annoying you're the first one to agreee
10:21 me at all times with this istg it sent me into a rage the 1st listen
WHERE IS LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE
I lost trust in you just in the end of the video after seeing "crazy over you" as wrost.
I mean "Pink venom" the wannabe crazy over you is chilling right in the corner.
Heroine is top 5 songs on the IVE album imo but ig a difference in taste.(hypnosis number 1)
Hypnosis is seriously my favorite track on the album
Buenos aires buenos aires have you even been there?❤
my biggest gripe with crazy over you is the intro where you get to hear a mcdonald's straw being violated and the sounds of a chew toy being chokeslammed against the studio mic
i literally prefer why not over hi high
i would choose tally as worst for bp i hate that song
i agree on anything else
Oh yeah Tally is right there with it, I considered tally and kick it as my other 2 least favorite bp songs. Picking a favorite was also hard tho.
I really love see you later, aiiyl, pwf, and lovesick girls.
I only like step back cuz of the vocals😍
the way i love louder lol
i get that the composers were trying to do dutch house on we fresh but it just came out sounding like a damn mess
on the other hand i will forgive zero for being a coke ad because anything dnb will activate my neurons
I felt attacked on the one with soyeons English learning a language us hard I'm pretty sure 😭 she's trying her best
But lucid is fire idk why ppl hated it!!
I agree with all of that except crazy over you, it's not even bad and ice cream is definitely worst
I am absolutely blindsided to learn that there exists people on gods green earth that don’t like heroine. But ah well
intro song name PLS ?
I'm so glad you did not put my fav songs from some of the girl groups as the worst song haha
Here are my fav, and I would recommend these songs
1. Twice: moonlight sunrise, set me free, feel special
2. STAYC: young luv, love, run2u (tak remix)
3. Aespa: ICU, Dreams Come True, Black Mamba
4. NewJeans: ditto, omg
5. IVE: Kitsch
6. Le Sserafim: No Return, Eve, good parts, Sour Grapes, Choices, No Celestial
7. (G)I-DLE: paradise
8. IZ*ONE: secret story of the swan
9. Blackpink: yeah yeah yeah
The way almost all of kepler's songs are so good especially lovestruck is a no skip album. If only y'all opened ur ears and actually listened
we fresh >
It's crazy how different people's tastes can be
I would agree with you abt heroine being the worst track for ive if queen of hearts didn’t exist 😂
The best dreamcatcher song in my opinion is odd eye and the worst is maybe people will disagree with me but the worst is endless night i keep listening to it because a lot people love it but i can't like it. Maison actually not that bad but not good too hahaha i like vision more than maison but bonvoyage is banger i'm so happy they end this trilogy with bonvoyage.
I'm so happy someone else is talking about Soyeons terrible english. Listen, I love (G)I-dle, but for the love of god, either she gets some lessons in english pronounciation, or she stops singing/rapping in english all together. Whenever they have a comeback, I just pray that there is no english parts from her. She speaks english as if it was like french. She removes the ending of half of the words for some reason.
And it surprises me that the others go along with it. As far as I know, at least Minnie and Yuqi are both pretty good at english pronounciation. Just listen to Yuqi's solo stuff. How do they not listen to her part and immediately give her some pointers???
Voltage IS the best song from ITZY! you are totally right!!!
Me hiding my face (i listen to crazy over you very much(
ALL SONGS ARE OUTDATED AFTER JUST A FEW MONTHS
I AGREE ABOUT LOONA HI HIGH IS THEIR BEST i hate all their released songs after that song i was there when the solors were releasing and was obsessed with them hi high was perfect for a debut loved OEC pre hi high and yves solo album my faV
I was expecting Queen of hearts for IVE's worst song lol
my unpopular opinion:
cookie is new jeans’ best song;
Cheshire is Itzy’s best song;
love me like this is nmix’s best song
I wish I could like cookie if they were only older. The song wouldn't be so ick if they weren't minors.
Nmixx new album direction definitely took a turn for the better. I hope it's not too late for them to grab ppls attention. Paxxword should have been the pre-release instead of Young dumb stupid. That song turned lots of ppl away from giving them a 3rd chance because love me like this was actually decent.
Cookie would be my jam if sung by ppl over 18. It's such a cvnty song, but/and it has no business being sung by babies.
Yes for cheshire, yes for nwjns and no way for nmixx, paxxword is there
Omg I was shocked to see Heroine as the worst song ngl haha
To be fair
E, P & TBW it's getting annoying because of the boom boom boom
NOT THE WHY NOT SLANDER
3:44 finally! Someone has said it - because is the best song not boca or maison!!
Anyways, how i was saying, We Fresh best Kep1er TT.
AND YEAH, I'M LISTENING TO FUCKING BUENOS AIRES BC IT'S ABOUT MY COUNTRY, THIS SONG IS MY FUCKING PRIDEEE, VAMO ARGENTINAAAAAAAAAAA
i did not know kepler had such a nice song💀💀
i appreciate an opinion video on kpop that isn’t needlessly positive and just stating your opinion lmao.. kpop fans are a bunch of babies
played all those worst songs on tiktok with electric guitar :D
Wow! These are exactly my picks! I only disagree with Itzy's best. I love Voltage, that song is truly Bratz music at its peak in the best way possible, but I believe Dalla Dalla is still their best. As an orbit I also disagree with songs you choose for Loona. As a full group High Hi is definitely their best followed by favOuriTe, but damn I still can't watch this without mentioning Loonatic and Sonatine... Their pre-debut era is unmatched. Anyways their worst imo is Dance on my own, that song is so basic that it pains me. Also, Luminous is obnoxious
Too mean😂
COCA COLA MASHITDA COCA COLA MASHITDA
Please clean your ears because Life's too short is literally so good for a christian horse girl song
RIP Woohoo from TWICE that's one of my fave b-sides on page two LMAOOO. I laughed so hard at the Zero by NewJeans one lolll it's a cool song and it's just an ad so loll. Then for Blackpink, I'm not a fan I just listen to some but damn I actually like crazy over you loll. I respect ur opinions tho :D
WOOHOO enthusiasts RISE!! its a good song tho the twicelight live stages made it even better it got major concert buff
the only wrong one is loona omg why not is literally their best
Stayc was so iconic dropping their best track right with one of their worst (teddy bear personally
i agree with u, TB was kind of weak, but they had fun with it and atleast still won an award, so im okay with it
just hoping they'll be back with more banger, and i hope it'll be a full album, not just a single
teddybear is like a cringy kid song.
i love run2u (tak remix), love, and young luv from them
Buenos aires is so bad but its the only time we got center minju three times in a row so i have to listen to it
Twice
Best
FANCY and Feel special
They are perfect they have reached a standard so high no one can do it except Redvelvet obviuslt like OK THIS IS THE SHIT !
Worst
MOONLIGHT SUNRISE
When i think about Songs like knock knock , Fancy , Feel special and signal i cry of happiness
When i hear MOONLIGHT Sunrise i cry of disappointment
ngl i was waiting for red velvet this whole time
I'm really sorry but the only bad songs in Loona's discog are the "Not Friends" remixes
I like Maison but I don't actually disagree. That being said, just a minor correction. DCC isn't worth billions since it's a really small company. Like, they only have 20 people running that place. Other than that, yeah. That was a pretty bad move
Alter Ego is no doubt their best
you have some taste
Wait...some of these songs aren't even from 2023?? I am very confused
