I am surprised by the amount of blinks taking this video as any sort of attack or hate, which is not the case WHATSOEVER. I think it's pretty clear. I am a fan of Blackpink, not a delusional stan. That's all.
It's okay, they're just new here I guess. :) Thank you for keeping it real, respectful but positive as well. I can't wait to see more of your analysis after September.
I know are kpop girl groups that perform better than Blackpink in certain areas like vocals (Red Velvet, Aespa, Mamamoo), collective stage presence (Twice & Dreamcatcher) or dancing (Itzy), but that doesn't make love any less Blackpink. And also i agree they're too popular for their own good.
Btw, for some reason, I feel that you underestimate girlgroup (G)I-DLE a lot, really. They've been so underrated so far, that it's frustrating at times. For me, (G)I-DLE is top tier girlgroup in Kpop, even if they have to compete with Itzy & Aespa though, they did not lose, but I certainly respect your opinion...
They never learn 😂 I think you said this thing about every singer every month now 😂 there will always be that super Stan that can’t accept any sort of criticism 😓
It’s not rocket science really. Their popularity is not because of their music but because how well YG promoted them and attracted people towards them as individuals. Sadly you can’t become nearly as popular as blackpink just by making good music. YG’s marketing strategy for Blackpink worked super well for them. Now they are at a point where YG knows they don’t have to improve themselves so they don’t even try. They know fans will digest anything.
But does BTS go the same way as Blackpink does? Since they're reaching a very high-tier of popularity and Blackpink nearly reaching their position as well?
@@masteroffear5762 for God's sake when will u blinks will stop dragging bts everywhere like for real, dude bts is not from big 3 companies like blackpink does , bts came from a relatively small company and big hit ( bts company) didn't had money for promotions and to advertise bts they came into spot light due to their hardworking and good music but not because of their companies hardworking by promoting them like yg did to blackpink 😅. And the discussion is about blackpink having bad music 🎶 not about blackpinks popularity, the topic is about getting popular without actually having good songs like blackpink and also bts never got into LAZY DANCING SCANDALS 💃 like bp does , so people don't complain about improvement in bts dance cause they are perfect/good unlike blackpink who always get into bad dance scandals or controversies that's the reason for them to improve but blinks don't care how bad the quality of music 🎶 is, how bad the dance/performance is , all they do is support bp even how worse they get day by day , that's why bp girls never try to improve cuz anyways the fans are blind so why waste the energy trying to impress blind people 😅 and time god minimum armies don't have issues with bad dancing, bad performance, lazy dancing, bad singing, etc....like poor blinks does have with blackpink minimum armies don't need to cover those things like blinks always cover blackpink from the hate blackpink DESERVES for their performance, dance, music quality and vocals. Whatever if u wanna be delusional go on live like that but minimum be mature enough not to drag bts everywhere cuz the world doesn't rotate around blackpink neither around blinks 😊 thanks have a nice day ❤
@@masteroffear5762¿Qué pingo tiene que ver BTS con BP? Hasta la comparación ofende, es prácticamente imposible comparar tan siquiera a alguno de los integrantes. BTS es un grupo talentoso que vino de una empresa pequeña, no nacieron en cuna de oro, no tuvieron éxito ahí nomás gracias a su empresa, no tuvieron fama garantizada por otro grupo, simplemente ellos construyeron su propia fama, solamente ellos y una empresa en banca rota. Los 7 son demasiado talentosos, no se cuelgan de la fama de nadie, más bien otros se cuelgan de ellos pero ese es otro tema, ¿te queda claro?
But why are Treasure and Winner not on the same level of popularity like BP when it`s only depending on marketing? Genuinely asking. There has to be more to it than marketing...
I'm just a casual listener and while I enjoy some of their songs, I also struggle to see what's so special about them that makes them so popular. the gap of popularity between them and other kpop girl groups is quite large, so what makes them so different than others, I can't really see that.
So true! Their songs are all very similiar to each other and during their entire career of 7 years they released like 20 songs? They didn't even had any comeback for 2 years yet they are still so hyped. They have big 3 privilege that's all
@@silvervixen007 I feel the reason they still have hype is because 1. The solos : both rosé and Lisa debuted during the hiatus and with money literally being one of the biggest kpop songs last year , It's not surprising that people are excited to see what they'll bring later on . 2. The fandom, blinks know how to keep Blackpink relevant
overhyped is the perfect word to use when describing blackpink and there’s many reasons to back it up too. for one, there’s really no reason or excuse as to why they’re the “biggest gg in the world” but yet only have 1 full album and about 30 something songs as a six year group. and i already know what blinks are going to say “ tHaT jUsT pRoVeS hOw SuCcEsSfUl ThEy ArE” no it doesn’t. the only thing it’s proving is that they’re heavily popular which we all already know. but it says nothing about their musical success which is what it should be focused on but it isn’t. another reason would be how the majority of their songs talk about being independent women who don’t need a man, but yet their whole career is literally controlled by a group of men. it really doesn’t sit right with me how you have lyrics that are meant to be inspiring for females, being produced, written, and looked over by males that don’t even respect women it the first place. it makes no sense to me.
@@judas7585 sis you have 10 other comments in this comment section alone…it looks like YOU are the one that’s bout to throw a tantrum at any given second LMAO.
yeah well that's how they are "marketed".....In the end that's what's going to bring in the MONEY, yg doesn't give a damn abt any shit as long as Bp gets cash on the table...That's why I feel bad for them since they are more of money bearers to yg rather than actual artists, I just hope the girls are happy with whatever they do and probably get more artistic freedom.....
I do think BLACKPINK are too popular for they're own good because they haven't used their great potential to improve and prove why they deserve to have that crazy amount of success. If Jisoo can improve her dance skills, there shouldn't be a reason their technique (vocals) and music can't improve. It's been almost 6 years since their debut! But their label is also at fault for these long hiatuses and lack of experimenting!
exactly! for a group that take so much hiatuses you would think that they invest all this time in improving, but no! they don't improve and they always come out with the same music! the only thing that changes is their visuals and appearances
I think however who has made great progress in the dance is Jennie, in this long hiatus she has practiced a lot with the dancers of yg, I hope it is like this for all the members. (+ Rosé has also done a lot of covers and you can see that her vocals have improved)
well their popularity and success aren't at the same insane level as bts of course but I agree they need to show their artistry and how deserving they are cos a lot of teenagers follow them but i see even their fans don't care and follow them like influencers and insta models more than actual artists so
we are forgetting one fundamental thing: MARKETING. blackpink are literally models, sorta characters where anyone can indentify him/herself/themselves with, and the lifestyle they have + their personalities ARE attractive to a large number of people. the fact that they are brand ambassadors, look like a normal group of friends who skyrocketed in fame and are just pretty and talented is a bonus.
They're weren't brand ambassadors when they debuted were they? They became ambassadors some years ago .. And they became ambassadors because they were POPULAR already
They got popular in the beginning because of the controversy from coming after their senior group (and more stuff concerning that), 2NE1. They also had some other controversies and scandals around debut (ex: Lisa being Thai, the music video & culture stuff, etc). In addition to that, they also have their major label backing them up with producers, songwriters (for catchy music, not so much meaningful music or intricate music .. but I digress, catchy music still has a huge place in music. After all, the main point of music is to enjoy it), stylists, music videos, training, etc. It was mainly their visuals (which is not a skill or talent of course, but is a very important thing in entertainment), charisma, presenting something that hadn't so much been seen before in kpop (although it was already in kpop.), easily digestible concept, somewhat "unauthentic"/curated personalities (I like to say that people have different faces, for and to: business, friends, family, themselves, strangers, and acquaintances.) and catchy music that carried them past their popularity boom from controversy and being from a big label that hadn't debuted another girl group in a very long time. Now it's mainly their discovery factor, being mainstream/popular (+international), and again, digestibility. Plus, they almost always play it safe with concepts and vocals (technically speaking). This isn't to say they aren't at least somewhat skilled. You can be at a French level of B2, yet take French 1 (low level class).
Because YG has marketed them to be self-inserts for people to vicariously live through. All the attention is focused on their endorsement deals, photo shoots, MVs, ambassadorships, etc.. Meanwhile even the most hardcore fans know very little about their backgrounds and everyday personal lives aside from what YG wants to divulge. They are as close to a blank slate in K-Pop as possible.
in my mind 3 things played a role for blackpink to be that famous today. -YG marketing -Teddy - coat tailing to exo got7 twice bts popularity in 2016-2017
I think blackpink's success stems a lot from pretty privilege. There's no effort put into the group by anyone whether it's the company or blackpink themselves. Blackpink doesn't even do fan service of any kind. Are we really gonna say the company is not allowing them to speak to their fans. The only time they really engage with fans is when they're promoting something of their's. It's been two and a HALF years since their last comeback. Other than Lisa they're very average dancers and even Lisa doesn't do any dance promotions. She could be featured on a dance platform like Studio Choom. Their lack of songs is actually an insult to their fans. While other companies take pride in giving their idols' fans adequate comebacks, Yge thinks they don't have to because blackpink's fans will eat up whatever their given and y'all do eat it up. Vocal wise the group is average as well. Most of 4th gen is made up of minors. When you have teenagers outdoing veterans in vocal capability, you know something is wrong. Lastly, this is a personal gripe but their English in songs is so embarrassing. The actual English and the translations sound like a foreigner trying to sound American and it's just not it.
@@chimmy9455 I agree with you, I am not sure what group they would fit into exactly. For example, twice are a dance group and red velvet are a vocal group. Not sure for blackpink
When bp debuted bts was already inside the hot100 lmao...how can they pave their own way when they were mediaplayed as the prettier 2ne1 and only had chances of being promoted in the west after bts already exposed kpop to the west first
I honestly agree that rosé is vocally underrated and receives the most criticism for no reason even tho she’s a very good singer and dancer I also agree that pretty savage is a very addicting song in their discography
I actually blame Blinks that Rose gets the most criticism. They tend to overinflate her vocal ability just because they favor her vocal style. Another comment explains it very well
@@saranguyen2788 That’s what fans do, they will say “Xxx is the best” and it’s been known as a common saying in the fandom community. For example, people often think Jungkook is the best main vocal or RM is the best rapper. It’s okay. While as a blink, I do know that Rosé doesn’t have the best technique, she’s my favorite idol singer and has one of the best vocal delivery for an idol. That shouldn’t really be an excuse for people to unnecessarily criticize her vocals.
@@girlgirl1426 So people can not discuss things like adults? Cannot analyse? Are you from North Korea? Haters are like cancer. Why not focus your attacks on them.
Yes, but it should actually be constructive and positive...and have some relationship to reality. Just expressing a bunch of marginal fringe hater talking points and then slapping the "constructive criticism" label on it all is a big no-no. It's like taking a 10-year-old box of stale cornflakes and sticking a "Fresh and delicious!" label on top of the long-ago passed expiration date. The cornflakes are still stale and moldy. The new label doesn't make them magically fresh and delicious. It's the same with lame hater talking points. Just pretending that they're suddenly "constructive and positive criticism" doesn't change what they really are.
@@TEAM__POSEID0N For a second there, I thought you were talking about Blackpink’s comeback. Not because I am a hater, you have to care to be one. But because many Blinks said so.
Another thing to note is how how quickly the group blew up. When Blackpink debuted their popularity and critical acclaim was overwhelmingly high and they were incredibly well received. They were getting fan gifts and letters well before they even debuted. When their pre-debut promotional dance video for Bitch Better Have My Money released they were already too popular at that point for their own good. Which left little room for true growth. They talked about it in their documentary and the director of the documentary mentioned in several interviews how new and alien the fame is for them. Jennie even said in the movie “I wanted people to see the potential in us, didn’t necessarily have to be like “wow, this group came out and they’re so perfect in every way”. The girls seem to always be under the pressure to sell more, get more views and blow everyone out of the their way with w.e their next project is. I think this pressure comes not only from the fans but YG the label as well. They constantly promote these girls to be bigger, better, faster, stronger, than everything else in kpop only to give the girls material that will guarantee a return on the labels investment and not give the girls much to challenge them with. Truth be told most kpop groups and pop artist get very little creative control over their music and image in the very start of their career. Most labels are not going to let the girls just experiment and take chances until they’ve begun to not only break even financially but also not until they’ve establish a brand and a formula that’s certified to get the money they put into the girls back. That’s just how pop music operates no matter where it comes from. Unfortunately, the trial and error, growth, breakthroughs, and more are all happening in front and with the massive amount fans they have, who are expecting the same result every single comeback and then some. It also doesn’t help that because of the way they are promoted and the long hiatuses between comebacks (which personally doesn’t bother me much) fans will expect something revolutionary to have been made within their time away. What’s interesting is that if Blackpink had released all of their discography closer together then awkward mistakes, kinks; moments of unsureness and the overall the artist development and refinement, and grace period that’s suppose to be happening 3-5 years into any artist career would’ve happened naturally. It would’ve possibly not only humanized the girls but also wouldn’t have left fans and kpop consumers with an unfair negative perception of the girls and it wouldn’t leave the girls under pressure to live up to the last because of the big breaks that feel longer than they are. Essentially their reputation and early explosive popularity made it difficult for them to rise to the occasion, because the bar was set so high before they even began.
I think the girls are beginning to get more comfortable in their skin and were given more creative freedom in their last album. It feels like the girls are just starting to scratch the surface of their potential. We are only now beginning to see the girls truly spread their wings artistically, but because of the marketing tactics and fans and anti fans ridiculous online antics, their actual skills and solid work ethic easily gets overshadowed. Say what you want a about the blackpink’s music formula, but it seems to be doing something right, because year after year more fans cling on to the girls like crazy. The whole “starved fans” consuming anything yg throws their way doesn’t really explain massive influx of devoted fans almost yearly. I think the general public do appreciate their sound and formula. Of course the fact that they are so visible helps, but visibility can only go so far. Their live tour and stage moments are some of my favorite kpop performances. The girls just look like they’re having so much fun and are effortlessly performing while engaging and hyping up the crowd. Like you feel like you’re enjoying the moment with them, not watching a spectacle (no shade to spectacles, they are visually amazing). Don’t even get me started on when they perform with their live band also cleverly called in typical yg fashion "The Band”. Those guys elevate those songs to another level, and I personally enjoy listening to their live versions of the Blackpinks songs more than the studio one. The synergy they create with the girls on stage is just beautiful.
no offence , no hate (pls don't bash) but i feel like they got alot of attention during the rookie years is because yg didn't have alot of gg and it was just bp that was the only gg.
I honestly believe they were not made to be a kpop group. Their music, style, attitude and even the waiting for an album release is very western. They are a group made for the western market with elements of kpop sprinkled in.
Their main producer and songwriter is Korean-American. Rosé and Jennie grow up in western countries, and they always have a lot of English in songs. They were created to work both as kpop and pop, but ever since 2018 or so they're treated just as western group from their company.
umm... Not true. Western acts are mainly focused on music... kpop on performance as a whole and visuals, glamour, and other pursuits such as modeling. Blackpink is literally the latter. Western acts write their own music and it is a requirement. Big focus is on vocals, they release full albums instead of singles and EPs like BP.... and not half as much focus is on visuals and MVs as opposed to music. BP, on the other hand, literally has music as their least priority. More focus is on fashion, brand deals, visuals and glamour. No real artistic integrity or even personality-driven fun music. Live singing is necessary without a super loud backtrack as in Bp's case. If they were a Western act they would've been extremely ridiculed and no one would spare another glance at them. These mediocre things driven by visuals only works in Kpop. However, I do agree that the focus is indeed on western success, therefore the very forced badass women/girl crush image. Their marketing is directed towards a Western audience, they want western validation/success and won't mind forgetting their roots to get that. They don't ever even mention any korean or Kpop artists they might like, not even their own seniors(BB)...it's always western artists and bands, and there are no Korean sentiments in their music either. Again, they're trying to separate themselves from the rest of Kpop by pushing the idea that they're above those other kpop acts( the "we're not like other girls" of K-pop) They constantly attend prestigious western events, fashion shows, parties etc and take pics with influencers, celebrities and other powerful and expensive people that feeds into their branding even more. Their brand is exclusivity and everything they do reflects that. They even stopped attending K-award shows for that reason. They don't have big awards to win, so might as well not go at all and make ourselves even more exclusive. Blackpink was designed to be a brand, an exclusive brand and that's what they are.... They were not supposed to be a music group, kpop or not. Just pretty women with attitude and swag.... to utilize that image to create a recognized brand. It's like the Kardashians... They followed the same method to popularity and it worked.
I think it's how strong their branding is. Like just by merely hearing their music or seeing some photos or concept, it immediately clicks and reminds you of them. They have established their brand to the point that even if they have no group activity for a long time, a lot of fans still look forward to them and they stay relevant.
The problem behind their popularity is that BP does not have a discography to justify how loved they are.. they seem to work mostly as Influencers and models and their agency does not allow them to be taken seriously as artists. Imagine if a group from a small company like mamamoo had barely 20 songs that sound mostly identical... they would not be popular as bp because being from yg gave them an incredible push to start their career. It's hard to understand why they are so popular when they are constantly called the biggest gg in the world and their music is ok.. it's just ok music and it's understandable to be confused as WHY Edit: i wrote this comment in the morning when i was on a rush on my way to work so I'm going to add a few things that have been misunderstood: I don't hate bp, I think they have charisma and talent BUT their agency does not give them opportunities to really show that. They give them songs that repeat the same few concepts and are very scarce in quantity. They starve the fans for content so that they will eat up the next cb no matter what the quality is or if they finally allowed to put the girls artistic input in their music. How does a person know that they are good artists if yg forces them to sing songs made by others? And sing only 4 new songs a year and be a model the rest of the time? Anyway I really hope that they will get some personal credit and more than 5 new songs in their upcoming album. I'm not a fan but I'm rooting fot them
Yes they have few songs but they make all of them memorable. What's the point of having 8 comebacks in a year if all your songs give the same and no one ever remembers them and a first timer will forget you after it's finished.
So from your logic Tressure going to beat BTS in terms of popularity because they are from YG? Or did winnner beat BTS or gain same amount of popularity like Blackpink after their 4+ year long carrier?You guys are too funny with your logic.🤣
I think they are too popular than they should be in terms of girl k pop groups. Doesn’t mean they don’t deserve all the success. I do feel most of their setbacks is due to not promoting a lot. They haven’t been pushed to their best. YG and the group make more doing solo gigs that working on their craft. Twice, red velvet, itzy, and even soloists like hylolyn are improving drastically while black pink are at the same place as before. The potential is there but unused.
This can be most probably because of their long hiatus.. Like they have that potential to do more but they most probably are in events like modelling.. And this is most probably because of yg like are you sleeping come on give them atleast 2 combacks a year with one full album..
Note from me as a dancer: Rosé Jenne and Jisoo are GOOD dancer who defenetly can serve dancing, especially Rosé and Jennie. But when it comes to Lisa she's just a beast, not only from her group performances does she stand out, but her technicall dancing in hiphop, high heels, isolation/popping and street Jazz is just fantastic. I've seen alot of professional dancers react to her own dance videos and they literally never have to say anything negative about her dancing skills.
What attracts me to black pink is how they seamlessly merge English with the Korean language. By that I mean the pronunciation, the attitude, they express their music well overall, even a non Korean person like me finds it easy to follow. Edit: Guys calm down, I said HOW they do it works for me, I also love how Gidle does it even though they mostly sing in Korean, I like their flow. This is not an attack on your faves and it's not unique whatsoever, I just like HOW THEY do it, you guys make it sound like each group doesn't have a signature style and the first group I Stanned was Miss A, that should give you a hint of how long I've been listening to kpop.
@@jomkesora2412 that's what I was gonna say. Of all things to mention... I'm gonna try and be respectful.... I can't see the point the OP is making at all
Personally, I think they’re too manufactured. All their songs sound just about the same to me. Not to say that other groups don’t have the same issue, cause even Mamamoo has that issue, but Blackpink just don’t click for me in that regard. Hwasa alone would murder them all.
Mamamoos problem is they try EVERY concept, every musical style. Which will ultimately lead to even the biggest fans not liking some of the discography. However I will say this, I like 80% of mamamoos songs and dislike 20%. I like 20% of blackpink songs and dislike 80%. And before I get flamed by obsessive blinks, you can "straight to your dome like whoa whoa whoa" back to ur cringy ass song lyrics
There always be someone worse or someone better . Even Bp doesn’t have great vocal skills , it doesn’t mean they don’t deserve success. I understand some people who wish success for more talented but less popular groups , but no need drag Bp. Everyone has their own way . One thing I wish : They should improve their skills . For themselves. There always room For improvement.
Actually, their vocal skills are above average for Kpop girl groups. There are quite a few Kpop girl groups who are all basically doing the same chirpy baby-girl vocals in every song. Totally unlistenable. Blackpink are quite good. It may be accurate to say that there are some groups that have stronger vocals. But that's just it. "Some groups"...and not that many actually.
@@TEAM__POSEID0N again a case where some these groups are limited by their material. I can name a bunch of groups who are better. Not to say that bp are bad.
Bur this isnt a voice contest otherwise the most high singing would be popular and loved and succesfull. You have to have that it factor that star attitude star quality, having a good voice is good but you need charm visuality dance charisma and next to that good songs stage presence to be a Big star. Blackpink is the whole package and no hole in any of this aspects thats why they are this enourmously fricking Popular and legend level
@@TEAM__POSEID0N They really are good. If you listen to their live vocals wow they are rocking it! Its something you have to be born with it having great vocals, Rose and jennie are soo good! jisoo have a great voice too i was so suprised to her. Even lisa who only dance and rapp, has good vocals singing live better than a lot of other gg groups.
You can be the best singer and dancer in the world but if you don't have that thing that makes you stand out and makes you somewhat of a star, then it's useless in this industry. Each of the blackpink girls have something that makes them stand out and that is so appealing, for exemple when i see other groups covering their songs i hate it cause it sounds too cringe whereas the girls the few songs that they covered blew out on the internet like "So Hot", everyone thought it was their own song. To be successful here you have to have that thing that others don't, even if those other idols sing better or dance better, if they don't have that thing then it won't work.
I think the main problem is the lack of music content and comeback that are years apart. Being called the best, and being the most popular with so little songs that are also very repetitive and similar are difficult to process. My gripes are with YG and YG only. I wish BP had biiiiiiiger discography. I also wish girls were allowed to publish their own songs.
Yes because many vocal coaches have praised their voices and said that they have potential.. It's damn time yg give them more songs so that the potential can be used and they can experiment their voices
I feel like one of the reasons why Rosé gets more criticism for her vocals than the groups leads despite being the best in her group technique wise is because her vocal color is pretty unique for lack of better word. Out of all of them (sans Lisa) her vocals are the kind that can need time to warm up to
I think its mostly because so many fans constantly claim she has the best vocals in kpop... If delusional stans were less hyperbolic about her skills, I don't think people would be so critical of her, especially since we all know BP isn't a vocal-oriented group. It would also help if people used the correct language to express that her vocal color is their favorite, rather than imply that her vocal technique is the best in the bizz. I think a lot fans say she has the best vocals (implying objective technical proficiency) when they really mean to say she has their favorite voice (implying subjective preference). This isn't something unique to the blink fandom, but the consequences are amplified because BP has so many fans saying that. The same can be said for fans claiming that Jennie or Lisa are the best rappers in kpop like..... I'm a fan but it's just not even close to true in terms of technique. And as a result they get a lot of hate for their rapping. The only claim you can make like that wrt BP and not get backlash is "Lisa is the best dancer in kpop" because she is definitely one of the best in her generation, and accordingly we don't see people being hypercritical of her dancing-- it's because it's not hyperbole, and it's an objectively defensible claim.
In BP each member has a role and image that connects with the public, each one is recognizable and the four complement each other, their music is mainly intended for the international market and is consistent in its style (which you may or may not like, that is subjective ), the company has developed the image of each one in such a way that at the time when BP dissolves it will have 4 artists already positioned. Her vocal skills, dance skills and comparisons can be questioned but each of them has enough quality in her position within the group and individually.
Although Blackpink has some of the catchiest movie in entertainment today and I enjoy a lot of their songs, I always wonder if the singers could be or would even be remarked for their talent if they didn't have such a big agency behind them. There are kpop group members that are so standout that they could individually succeed without a group. But whenever I watch a blackpink performance it all seems to be very manufactured and like there's something missing. This is no hate to the girls, they're clearly hard workers. But I guess I just find them to be a bit forgettable.
Talent was, is and will never be equal to fame, it's not only in kpop but all around the world. You need more than just mere talent to gain widespread attention. You need to have that balance which Bp has whether it be talent, fashion, journeys, beauty, endorsements, personalities++ They have so many elements which other gg probably lack in,, that's what makes them so appealing....
@@chimmy9455 I wholeheartedly agree. But I think this further supports my claim that their appeal is because the people behind them and the way that they are marketed. I give credit to their label for producing such a force and to them for being so hard working. But then again, everyone in kpop has to work hard. The reason other gg don't have the appeal of bp isn't because they aren't capable, it's because of those behind them.
@@jemimajanvier4706 well not in all cases, Bp first of all have very less members and each of them are so different but compliment each other so well that it gains mass attention very fast+their personalities appeals to the public and people relate to them much better. Music and company does play a role but not always for eg there are so any smaller company artists who are bigger than many big 3 artists. That's why balance plays a huge role in fame which many artists or companies find it hard to code, that's the thing Bp has...
I kind of disagree with your opinion on their stage presence. I see you've watched Everglow-up's video on that matter (with which I also kind of disagree with). Their debut stage, their debut stage in Japan, their Coachella performances, the iconic Iceland Whistle + Jungle Playing with Fire performance, the Kill This Love stage where they wore the red outfits from the mv, their Pretty Savage Performances (especially in the Show), their So Hot cover... like I'm sorry there are so many iconic Blackpink stages. In my personal opinion, they have some of the best stage presence in Kpop and out of Big3 3rd Generation girlgroups, they are the strongest on stage especially because every member has unique charisma. I mean, I only need to say "WHAT'S UP JAPAN?" and everyone knows who and when and what.
You're right, blackpink does have some crazy performances and very good stage presence ! Although I would argue that their individual stage presence is muuuuuuch more efficient and strong than their stage presence as a group. They have chemistry outside the stage but it's less visible once they're on stage cause they just shine so much individually, imo. One of the only comebacks for which i think they did very well was the lovesick girls one, for some reason. But when compared to groups that have extreeeeme coordination and some kind of common energy if I may, BP's stage presence feels kinda off. Just looking at Gfriend, twice, dreamcatcher if I stay in the gg, or BTS and ateez as for bg, you can tell that some groups just have better presence on stage as a group. It doesn't mean BP's stage presence is bad, just that they're not the best when it comes to them as a collective.
I think he clearly meant collective stage presence not just the stage presence alone. It’s not a question about them having stage presence ‘cause they could literally tear up a stage. I guess he meant their balance when performing together as a group. Sometimes they do put their energy in hyping up the crowd which add up to their presence. But this is what I have noticed about them, when they are together, it just doesn’t match up that well.
the problem is it's not consistent and their performances in general have only grown messy. that's why people are so frustrated with bp, we know they can do so much but the company and girls themselves are holding them back, with their lack of training, practice and passion. of course in 6 years there's some good potential but even those better performances are still on the edge of really being something. they give off this young, exciting energy but they're not versatile and professional. if you compare their best to other groups, soloists or even western artists you can see they still lack and that used to be fine because they were rookies, but they have less and less excuses as they move through their careers. especially after we've all seen the explosion that's been the 4th gen. these brand new teenagers! shouldn't be better than a 6 year old group of grown adults. i only found jennie captivating out of the solo performances so far. and it was still just a bp jennie performance, she didn't give us anything new. at the end of the day you can like what you like, if bp entertain you then great but that doesn't remove the fact that they're overrated and problematic and have a long, interesting conversation behind them. i think it's a shame. but i hope their new comeback will be decent, fans deserve respect. yge would be nowhere without blinks.
Can I be honest, popularity doesn’t mean you have to be the best at what you do, you just have to appeal to a larger audience. Blackpink do that with their bad ass style, and they don’t have to be the best at vocals or dancing to be the most popular girl group in the world. And that’s what most Kpop lovers can’t understand. They expect the most popular to be the best, but that’s not always the case.
Blackpink is given the title 'biggest gg in the world' they don't have to be the best but atleast they have to better than they were years ago we can clearly see they are loosing interest as a group and are regressing. Their vocals and dance aren't that hard like other groups,it's their job to do such so but blinks don't care about it anymore,they just support them no matter what which is why blackpink treats their own job As a side job. They know their fans will support them and defend them so they have stopped putting efforts
@@blackpinkistherevolution9370 yall blinks only have Coachella now to cover them,bestie they only perform good in LA or Coachella look at the difference! They have performed good in Coachella but what about the other concerts? Did you not see?
I feel like Blackpink is a good gateway group, but as you slowly immerse yourself into the larger world an diversity of groups you’ll see how BP compares to them and make your own opinions from that. I mildly liked BP in the beginning of me getting into kpop bc they were the only ones I knew besides bts. I got into more groups like Ateez, SKZ, svt, everglow, dreamcatcher, and Twice and saw myself moving away from Blackpink. I don’t think I rly have any of their songs now. It’s a personal preference of: 1. wanting to know the artists actually have personal involvement in production; 2. Music.
They were good before 2019 but now they set the standard low because they knew that Blinks will always supporting them even after disbandment, that's why TEDDY BEAR OPPA don't need to make more good music anymore. They will still get paid for doing the bare minimum
Their Popularity and hype consists of so many things actually, it’s not just music, it’s their group chemistry, personalities, fashion style, life stories,visuals and many other things. Other groups may have better vocals, dancing abilities or other things, but bp has everything in balance, that’s why they appeal to so many people
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. Blackpink is literally the only group who has a perfect balance of talent, skills, and unique attraction of different elements. They are not the best vocally, but their individual vocal techniques are easily different from each other which makes their song enjoyable to hear on repeat. Their visuals are also very different, even if you are not a kpop fan or do not know blackpink you can easily distinguish their faces. Their unique individuality is a big reason for the division in the fandom. Each members have their own transparent personality. I myself connect with Lisa more than the other members because i personally love her positive and carefree radiance and my style is the same with Lisa. My aesthetic is not soft like Rose, or trendy like Jennie, or classy lady like Jisoo. Most of my wardrobe has always been consisted of vintage and thrifted clothes and I have been unconsciously dressing like a tomboy since I was 10 and even the way Lisa casually moves like tomboy i also relate to her on that. But even if the members style, aesthetic, vibe, and personality and very different from each other, their chesmistry is the strongest and the realest i have seen so far in Kpop. Like Lisa would kiss her members a lot even though female idols are generally expected to be conservative. Lisa and Rose argue even when there is a camera around. Jisoo scolds Lisa like a mother even if there is a camera. Jennie tends to be transparent whenever she is annoyed with her members' unnecessary childishness. The members said it themselves that they feel like they are closer than their actual families and have known each other better than their families know them. There is REAL AUTHENTICITY with the group. People admire realness and this authenticity allows the blackpink members to present themselves genuinely and because of that authenticity their own personalities shine. Which is also another reason why they are entertaining and interesting. Their individual background and history adds more flavour to the group.
So because of marketing and their image, and not necessarily because of their talents. No shade because that’s how the industry works, branding and developing an image matters. I think they are incredibly charismatic and YG sure knows how to milk the money cow, but…
Well I'm a blink and I never love them bcs of their skills anyway, skills are like the bottom rock reason why I love them. If I could rank them, it would be: 1. Their vocal colours (not skill). Each member has a unique vocal both inside and outside the group. They all sound so different yet beautiful and completing each other. 2. Their songs. People might say that their song is repetitive, but for me it's okay bcs I like that girl crush genre and they always come with a totally different instrumentals. Their b sides are also diverse. 3. Their relations to each other. They're literally a family, really close and genuine to each other. 4. Skills. Their rap, singing, and stage presence can be REALLY good on some occasions 5. Visuals. They're so pretty and charismatic without a visual hole. (I know this might be a wrong reason to stan someone but I'm just being honest 🙏) So I think skills are not the main reason of why some artists are so popular. What will attract people the most are the songs and the artists personality
I agree with you. Some people are just born to be the stars. There are a lot of best singers ,rappers, performers but the problem is they can't attract people
Those are why I love them too. They make every line in a song sound unique but connected. I feel like they are improving and deserves to show many of their talents/skills because it’ll will solidify through exhibitions. I wish someone would mentor Rose on how to close a song when she sings alone. She’ll be perfect after that in my eyes.
I think they are aestheticaly pleasing But they are not as talented as people love to paint them to be YG team definitely know how to promote them thats what made them so successful I can name many other artists in kpop who deserve the success BTS and blackpink are getting The new gen of kpop idols are all aestheticaly pleasing and rarely have any real talent outside of being a group member
I feel like you could have dived a whole lot deeper into why and how Blackpink achieved their mega-popularity and how detrimental it is to how kpop stans view them. Whenever any artist gets to mega popularity status they will always be scrutinized way more than underdog artists, that's how it is for everyone. I feel like your video focused more on how their skills/talents compare to other less popular groups, but c'mon that's so tired, we knooooow that BP isn't as talented as other groups. But I feel like Blackpink is very deserving of their popularity status for several reasons. 1) They have a majority of western/foreign members, giving them more of an international appeal. It is very rare for 75% of a group to be English speakers. 2) The genre of music they make and their concept give them the flexibility to make any type of music and have it match the concept and gives their music a chance to appeal to a variety of listeners. Even though they are not the most technically skilled in any category, that honestly does not matter when it comes to consumption and popularity. (Justin Bieber as a western example, mediocre singing, dancing, ect skills, but still one of the top musicians in the world). Wendy is (imo) the most talented kpop singer but she is one of the least popular members in Red Velvet. 3) Like you said, their dynamic with each other feels and looks authentic, it's enjoyable to watch them interact with each other, and each member is entirely unique, boosting their indivudual popularity as well. 4) Speaking of unique, the Pinks are just that! Extremely unique. From their visuals, to personalities, to singing tones, everything about them makes them stand out from other k-pop groups where the members tend to just blend together. I still have a hard time distinguishing the voices of Twice and Red Velvet etc. 5) Lastly, they were anticipated as 2NE1's sister group, so kinda like nepotism babies, they have a bigger start than other groups to begin with. But their popularity from that point on was entirely due to Blackpink, as each member is extremely likeable and they each have their own star power. tldr; Blackpink is mega popular because of their unique members, and their popularity is rightly deserved. Talent =/= popularity
@@jihyohirai6224 BP albums always 1 slow song and other are badass vibe songs. I know they are girl crush and they are not only groups that usually have the same songs.
@@DorothyYukari Because their music is not for some kpopies. They do their music to appeal larger music fan around the world.For some kpopies it’s look same but for international audience these type of music they are looking for to make their mind fresh and energetic.
why i think blackpink is this successful and sometimes people call them overrated 1) obviously yg’s influence as a big 3 company: if we were serious, the girls wouldn’t be so popular after all those hiatuses if they came from a small company. it gave them the push they needed but personally boombayah was everyone’s cup of tea because of how charismatic the girls were in their debut era: whistle and boombayah are still iconic songs in kpop. 2) the members: easy names, easily recognizable faces and positions, with distinctive personalities and voices. we have lisa, cool and tomboyish, jennie who’s more badass and savage, rosie who’s sweet and sings about heartbreaks and jisoo with a more husky voice and girl-next-door aura. I think that since they are pretty different from one another people can identify themselves better, which is why there are sooo many solo stans 3) THE MVS: so expensive lookin and bomb af lmao most non kpop fans are super attracted to them + the songs are yes repetitive but flowy and with a catchy beat and the rap adds to the overall good songs. I think that the fact that they use so much english helps a lot, especially with a whole english speaking line.
tbh I feel like there are few to no kpop groups who are actually not overhyped/praised, like kpop fans will hear one sustained note or see one flowy move and it's like they've never seen anything more impressive ( it joins your point about calling everyone "great" to the point it loses its meaning) i personally love blackpink music because of their four vocal colors that imo match super well, and because I do not find their music repetitive in the slightest way, they have their own structure and they build something new around it everytime which I find super interesting. I don't CARE that Kill This Love has a repetitive chorus (that I enjoy) when the instrumental is that beautiful, the voices of the girls that well used and the overall concept of the song that meaningful.
I literally just paraphrased everything you said …..i dont hear this repetitiveness people are talking about. I keep hearing thAt they are vocally weak …..but MOST GROUPS rely heavily on lip syncing and dancing …i think the real issue is they feel blackpink is for the western world and thats not the case.
I think my main criticism is that they don't take part in the making of their music (company's fault) so they end up doing things that they don't always connect with and you can feel it on stage. I love their songs because they hyoe me up but compared to other groups that are more self produce I find it sad that they don't get to do that and I think its even more visible with this comeback (comeback that we waited for a long time). If the company allowed them to be more present in the making of their stuff the girls would enjoy it probably much more too
I personally love the way Blackpink appears as a group in terms of presence. I like their different styles and the way they balance each other out! That difference works IMO.
I think The Answer to Why BLACKPINK is popular is very simple.. We don't need to question this!? -Antifans will always Criticize depending on their perceptions. Also when Thousands criticize while Millions keep on Enjoying We Should move with a Philosophical Principle Saying “MANY WINS" -Ppl should understand that Popularity depend on how Much Receivers Enjoy your presence. Why do many Ppl enjoy BP? it's Because BP Skills are Always Perfect in Their Fans Eyes no matter What! There is nothing like who deserve better and who deserve Less Your Fate Will tell, But Sometimes We give Love unconditionally. There is nothing like perfect (Abilities/Skills) even the Skilled ppl have to work hard to be Perfect(Never Happened bcoz it's Human Nature “No one is Perfect")everyone has a weakness. -Okay Let's talk a Serious Business now besides Kpop Idols there are Millions of people who Got all those skills mentioned as Criteria, but it's not meant to be Them. - So Anti-Fans should Enjoy being Antis and put more Effort to Cheer up Their Favorites without Bashing other people. -And Blinks Should Enjoy the Popularity of their Beloved BP and Prepare To cheer up for a CB keep on going Fighting!!! 💪💪 -Fellow Army maintain our Peace✌️ -~I just Hate How ppl like To point -ve on other people's abilities? Ain't ppl without Excellent abilities supposed to Enjoy the World?????? Stay Calm stop comparison we are Just Different.!
Looks at how Lisa's money and lalisa are successful songs despite being pure trash in every single way, if thats not proof that BP are too overhyped idk what is
There were actually zero attempts at logical reasoning in that segment and no references to specific examples or principles of stage presence. It was literally just a string of standard hater opinions that ended with a bizarre statement that anyone who says that BP's stage presence is top tier is "inaccurate and ignorant". I was trying to give the video "essay" a fair and open-minded viewing. But there was just too much of that kind of irrational combination of unsubstantiated negative opinions followed by bizarrely negative conclusions to take it seriously. Some people tell me that this channel is not a hater channel. But it seems like the typical "I'm a fan, but...." formula that passive-aggressive haters use to just dump a bunch of irrational hate on a group and then slap a "constructive criticism" label on the pile of steaming doo doo as though the label magically will turn it into what the label says. Like sticking a "cheese sandwich" label on a pile of doo doo and then giving it to someone. "Here's a cheese sandwich. I know it smells bad, but look at the label! It says 'cheese sandwich'...enjoy!"
@@TEAM__POSEID0N Welcome to his channel lol, he has always been like this specially with vocal technique, he's one of the main reasons why this fake definition of "vocal technique" blow up and started ruining singers reputations like Rosé's for example.
@@AB-yk2pq Because he thinks she's superior than the other members in talent, Rosé is his favorite so it's logic that he would praising her all the time.
Nobody "deserves" to be liked or to be popular. It just happens naturally. Somehow the Black Pink members are more likeable than other group members on a subconscious level. Its similar to getting in love.
I disagree when it comes to stage presence, you can't judge stage presence based on television performances like inkyago since all idols act either cute, sexy or fierce. When it comes to stage presence its all about energy, connection to the crowd and being hype, and im sure they almost always showcase full stage presence on concerts and festival performances. Just look at their coachella performance how they were full of energy and how they were interacting with the crowd.
There was a 'scandal' of sorts a few years ago that Blackpink were giving lazy, lacklustre performances at their concerts on tour too. And TV performances are the place where most people will see them (who aren't dedicated fans already) and also are an expected, fundamental part of being a Kpop idol. Consistency of performance quality is very important. Honestly, I don't really put much of the blame on the girls but rather the ruthless company and limited of discography.
@@Elizabeth-kn4jh jennie has been exposed like 2 times of being "lazy". One time was because she wasn't feeling well on a concert so she had to leave the stage. The other time was a festival, it happened ONCE where she intentionally lacked energy on stage and she was called lazy for almost the rest of her career
coachella and their melon awards performance were the only time I actually liked and enjoyed their stage presence otherwise they are pretty mid and despite having only four members they always seem to be messy and out of sync when it comes to choreo💀💀 lisa and Rose are great tho
Blackpink has crazy good stage presence they have proved it on many concerts, and festivals. People criticize their stage presence by looking at music shows where they have to focus on perfecting the dance which does not help. The concerts, and festivals like Coachella prove that they have very good stage presence because they’re actually enjoying the stage.
Their stage presence is insane, INDIVIDUALLY. Lisa- masculine, overt, dominant Jennie- feminine, overt, dominant Rosé- feminine, overt, sensual Jisoo- feminine, covert, sensual But together they’re not as connected, since none of them tone it down.
Actually this "mysterious princesses" aura adds points to their popularity and hype, because they seem to be so mysterious, people are always curious about them, and thus they can stay relevant even without much content. Some people may dislike it, but it's clearly working and it brings popularity and money
I agree! I hope that YG could let them comeback more with awesome songs🙃 It’s not the girls being overhyped at all, they strived for the very best even off cam and also expressed their hope of song creating 😭
I believe they became famous mostly because of their company. Let's face it, YG has some of the most successful and famous kpop groups and artists out there. Personally, I think their strengths are stage presence (individually), rap (if yg allowed them to showcase better rap and write their verses it'll be more prominent), and visuals. Starting off with dance since I'm a dancer myself, I personally think they do pale in comparison to other groups. Even the choreography given to them are mediocre and sometimes repetitive. Blinks also say Lisa is the best dancer in kpop or one of the best but I personally disagree. She isn't bad per se (she's good!), but in terms of technicality, technique and versatility, there are plenty of better dancers. Take for example: Hyoyeon, Momo, Seungyeon, Chungha. Vocals, I think they're individually all decent even good, it's just that their vocals don't particularly fit the concept of their group like Rose for example. Her voice seems to fit slower songs and her voice really shines with those. Music isn't really the members' fault either, mostly because their company doesn't give them enough comebacks and sticks to one genre.
@@BabyItsSunny I wouldn’t say they are as famous as Blackpink is on a global level, but when it comes to just Korea, I’d say those two were as famous if not more so than Blackpink.
@@jcp5302 yes they weren't very famous globally because they're both from 2nd gen kpop, but 2ne1 and bigbang's songs are recognized even on a global scale, they're really popular. but i agree, they were mostly known in korea.
@@jcp5302 if they debuted during this time they will definitely be as big or even bigger! don't forget the social media plays a huge part of BP success!!
Yall arent ready for the truth. Blackpink is OMEGA populat cause they are INCREDIBLY beautiful as an entire group. Literally all 4 are stunning beyond compare. Dont believe me? Blackpink was popular BEFORE they even debuted..... Wut does that yell you? It wasnt he music or choreography that gave them the lead, it was their visual beauty.
I don't know how YG or Teddy is doing it but I think Teddy kept the best of the best of his bangers for BP. The girls are releasing the same formulaic bangers all these 6 years but it doesn't get old for the majority of the audience. There are few complaints from fans here and there but overall, fans/people still listen to it no matter how hateful they can be lol Looking at the teasers and how it's titled as "Born Pink", I'm 90% sure that the sound is like their past EP's and The Album, the title track will have this big and huge beat drop again, no actual concept/storyline, the girls being fierce/edgy and it's a wrap lol But fans will still eat it up. Undeniably, the girls are extremely charming and also talented but in the 6 years that they have, there were no room for the growth when it comes to musicality. What they were able to built is this signature of a distinct, massive sound that even if they keep on doing the same formula and sound, people still like it and it never gets old lmao And to be honest, this feels like their last release as a group. Next year is their 7th year, time for the "7th year itch" as well as the expiration of their contracts. I'm not too hopeful that they will continue as a group.
As a casual listener of them is like i dont "hate them " or anything but its weird to me , i wouldnt pay that much money to see them or to buy their albums or stuff .-.
Tbh I feel like bp just had the luck that they debuted when BTS made steps into the west, because whenever there is a popular Boygroup, there needs to be a somewhat popular "counter"-girlgroup. The (beautiful) bad-girl image was kinda new at that time and I think more easy to see for the west than typical kpop girlgroups. So they were just lucky to be at the right place the right time
Also the western industry tried so hard to find a second "One Direction" and a counter-gg, so it was pretty much a "in-your-face" move from fans, kinda like, we don’t want you to dictate what music we like 🤷🏼♀️ stage presence-wise bp are still better than what the average western gg could offer so far, the dancing was something the west hadn’t seen yet. And back then their choreography was still creative. It wasn’t dumb either to kinda make them influencers 🤷🏼♀️ the public loves to see rich people. It’s just sad they kinda forget the music on the way
It's pretty simple. The marketing strategy behind BP has made them the easiest and most desirable self-inserts in all of K-Pop. This is also doubled down by keeping their lives and offstage personalities mostly a mystery. For how everywhere Blackpink is, even hardcore fans know very little about their backgrounds or day to day lives. For BP, less is usually more. Some groups release a ton of content to make the idols more relatable to their fans, but BP works in reverse.
I disagree with a lot of points in this video. Idk what is collective stage presence. If you mean group dancing, then that's just performing not stage presence. Groups like Itzy, twice depend on their performance skills. But i promise you they do not have stage presence. Imo they have one of the best stage presence of 3rd gen and for me they are the best. very few kpop groups can hold the attention of a crowd outside Korea or in a place where ppl dont know their songs. Their songs are very intelligently produced idk how ppl hate their songs but go and like some of the most generic typical kpop songs with bland productions. That formula has long been forgotten since the album imo. And I love Rosie's voice so there's that. Dancing is okay but their choreos are eye catching and perfect for live performances. Simple enough for others to follow. Blackpink gets too much criticism and hate and is held to standards I don't see anyone holding other groups to. It's literally music. Even Taylor is wildly hated and I think she's one of the best songwriters of our generation. Ppl want fame for underdogs and hate the famous dogs, its wild.
Well said. I listen to almost every girl groups and for me BlackPink really hits different. Their vocals might not be as good as RedVelvet, Aespa, Dreamcatcher or Twice but it's their vocal color and uniqueness that makes it work. YG trained them to be performers who can attract not just SK but Global Audiences.
I think this video missed extremelly important strong points of Blackpink. Lisa might not be the best vocalist in Kpop but there are many videos that prove she can sing well, Jisoo's voice has a unique personality. Jennie's rap is worth mentioning and among korean females one of the bests and Lisa's rap is the most impressive part in every blackpink song is a climax everytime,and her style can be even fit in western productions, not the typical Kpop rap of girls talking fast,making mad face thinking that is rap but no flow. Stage prescence, Twice has more? as a group maybe because they lack individual personality, in this case I think is Blackpink's strongest point, each member has it's own style and different personalities, Lisa's stage prescence is insane, luxury brands don' t choose them just for their beautiful faces only but because they can portray an image,sell it to you! And they have Lisa,the best dancer in Kpop. I'm not a Kpop fan because everything seems kids music, many members you can't tell who is who, many groups than you don't realise you are looking at a different one, they all can be confused. Blackpink, has personality, I don't need the best vocals, I rather go to Adele for that, I want to vibe and sing along and be surprised everytime and be able to tell who is who not a group of clones.
Same they have individual personality...like Lisa is tomboyish+shy at times which fits the concept. Same with Jennie she has a cold aura with those fierce cat eyes which also suits the concept + she is savage. Rosé fits the concept too she has this mixture of both cute and fierce + personality wise she is quite extroverted and many people might say that she seems cute but imo she seems like a person who knows what she wants and is also serious about it and last but not the least Jisoo..she is the most loved member imo cuz many people outside of fandom like her too..her and Lisa's personality balances the group in all together. Jisoo has this childish+ mature at times personality she isn't afraid of calling out people (which I totally like) so yeah. They all have unique personality and imo they have unique voices too specially Jisoo and Rosé. And Also Jisoo's feminity balances the other dominant personality of the three. So if people don't like dominant girls then Jisoo is the one which would attract them. 💀Sorry idk much about those but I just wrote what I think
Yup, they don't like the fact that every BP members shines their own way. They expect them to perform like A GROUP OF CLONE where it's totally hard to recognize them individually. Well, anyone has their own taste and groove. Anyone should support whoever group they think suits their vibe. Maybe somehow it could make their faves reached BP's overrated popularity.
Twice definitely have individuality and stage presence on stage, they just mesh better together because of practice and knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses and how to cover that, meanwhile BP just looks like 4 people who were put together with a choreo in 3 weeks everytime because they don’t have nearly enough experience as a performing unit to compete, and 4th gen girl groups are proving that as well.
@@bbmomos Twice is the typical Asian group that we would just ignore in the west unless you are a kpoper or you like manga and Anime. Their members have their own personality? I doubt, they did one solo and Nayon solo sounds like any random song of her group,nothing unexpectrd just another twice song but only one of them singing making cute faces acting "cute".
The reason of popularity of musicians like blackpink is this stupid tik tok gen, I mean they call ah ah ah, whao whao melodious 🙂 The thing that is attracting people is their skinny expensive good dressed models aura
I'm really curious to see what Blackpink will do once their contracts deadline approaches. I still to this day don't understand why YG didn't fully committed to Blackpink as musicians, like he did with 2NE1. Hopefully the same mistakes won't be made for the next generations of YG girl groups.
I think they will probably re-sign. The rumors about them leaving don't really make sense. They mostly come from fans who think the girls are "mistreated". They may be in some sense. But looking around at Kpop girl groups in general, it's hard to find many who are treated better by their companies than BP. BP has become so big at YG that they are basically in a status situation in the company similar to what Big Bang had when they were at their peak. (Actually, bigger if you go by global popularity metrics.) The BP members are mainly performance artists. They seem to get quite a few opportunities to contribute creatively to the process, both in terms of actual performance crafting as well as some musical and lyrical content. YG has always been much less generous in giving music/lyrics credits to female artists. At YG, a female artist has to really do quite a bit to get formal credits. At some companies, I think they inflate the credits to a ridiculous degree. So much that an "artist" only has to sit in on a planning meeting and they will be included in the songwriting credits, even if they hardly contributed anything creatively in reality. Despite what the critics say, BP is at the top of the game in an industry that ultimately is about popularity and fans. If they want to explore different approaches to music and performance independently and pursue solo careers, they may some day choose to do so. But I haven't seen any real-world indications that any of the BP members are unhappy about being at YG in any serious way. And if they do break up, all or most of them will probably not be as successful. YG isn't just song production. It's an entire complex support platform that covers everything from concert tour infrastructure, contracting, choreo support, music videos, brand endorsement marketing, fashion. Very few companies could reproduce anything like that for BP or individual members if they went off on their own. (But I would like for Lisa's hair to get a healthy break to recover. She looks beautiful. But the stylists seem to love playing around with her hair the most. lol)
YG is a shitty company when it comes to girl groups. I mean, we can't say they "committed" to 2NE1 regarding anything at all lmao. They used 2NE1 as they saw fit, and discarded them when they weren't "useful" anymore. CL had to FIGHT for I Am The Best to be released, cause YG didn't want her to be a songwriter, they just wanted her to be a puppet. Now they're doing the same to Blackpink, but instead of "performing puppets", YG wanted "model puppets" this time. He said it himself, he wanted to make a new 2NE1, but with "pretty girls" instead. As long as they stay in YG they'll have no creative freedom whatsoever. I really hope they leave cause they have too much potential to be treated as replaceable idol models.
@@malicechalice What I meant was that 2NE1 did get a lot more comebacks compared to BP and they really were known as musician, while BP has the reputation of being influencers. The "commitment" refers only to that.
@@saravanoppen8372 That is what I have noticed.Bp has less discography than their predecessors despite being more popular.I know that idols also do things outside of group activities such as acting,modeling,or endorsements,but blackpink is more active in those things than group comebacks.I am not giving my hopes up for this new comeback but I am still unsure if they are going to have a full on comeback.
It seems to me that one can't say Blackpink don't deserve their success, after all the market decides such things. I will say their success is not proportional to the quality of their music. I don't blame the members for this, I blame the producers. The instrumentals are uninspired, simplistic, and repetitive, even between songs. The vocals, especially lately, focus too heavily on Jennie/Lisa. They have relegated the talent that is Rose, and the awesome/ unique tone of Jisoo's voice, to the prechorus/sections of the bridge. Where rap sections in much of kpop serve as a nice counter/change up to the rest of the song, in BP songs these days, they are dominant, and are far less impactful as a result. To put this in perspective, Blackpink was the first kpop group I listened to, they launched me down the rabbit hole, but none of their music has grabbed me since "Forever Young." Add to this the fact they don't produce much music, and I lost interest. Groups like Dreamcatcher, Pixy, and Twice(my three personal favorites) have been working their butts off recording and promoting album after album, while Blackpink takes 2 year breaks to make mediocre music. In that regard, Blackpinks fame and fortune seems remarkably unjust. Anyway, just my two cents.
Blackpink has charisma,grace,swag,perfect rap,acceptable vocals,catchy songs,great stage presence,great lyrics and diversity Definitely these factors are not basic so you can’t say Blackpink has become famous for nothing.you might find Blackpink attractive you also might find them unattractive,it’s up to you
You all can hate but among kpop ggs only blackpink can attract general public .That is why they are still popular without comeback.Also they have strong rap duo(Jenlisa)/good stage presence and best female dancer (She is always viral for her dance).
He didnt lie their stage presence is mediocre. They only have good stage presence when they want too and Coachella is one example of that. Their recent tour is a big example of their mediocre stage presence and laziness
I think their too popular for what they have. They're more models that occasionally sing lazy produced songs rather than idols that spent years undergoing intense training. Most idols have continued training after they debut to further develop skills. Based on the growth, it seems like that probably stopped after the first 2 years. BP is a group that had SO much potential as idols. They fit well together, they have good chemistry, they have a natural stage presence, their voices have great colors. Imagine if they had continued to be promoted as idols and artists, image where they would be if they had the freedom to make their own music. They'd have more than 1 world tour in 7 years. They'd have a full length album by now. They'd have one comeback a year. They'd have more songs than a rookie group. They'd have the tools available to improve where they do lack. Their management is the same that has caused groups to fail in the past, it's amazing that they haven't. The "quality over quantity" bullshit saved it.
Agree. Their released songs are even less than 4 th gen groups. Blink always have excuse by using Teddy word "we only release the songs we think it's high quality enough" which quite rude to other groups beacause their songs are high quality too.
What I dont like about Blackpink are the stans, that overhype, gobble and praise everything BP/YG puts out ( even tho its the bare minimum like a comeback after +2yrs.) and also dont accept any other opinion or criticism
"Is the criticism fair?" No, it's not. Not by a long shot. But that's the thing; the volume of criticism Black Pink (and BTS, by extension) gets is due to the kind of hype that they get. Put simply, the more people know you, the more people have something to say about you. And I can understand why that bothers Blinks (no one likes their faves being talked about in the way people talk about Black Pink), but uh... That's the price of fame, dolls. Black Pink have an elevate profile, so people are going to expect more out of them. And y'all can call it jealousy and bitterness all you want, but it's only natural that people expect those girls to prove that they deserve that elevated profile. Black Pink are no worse than any of their contemporaries (as far as girl groups go, we can certainly do worse), but that's part of the problem; they're pretty damn average. Black Pink haven't released anything that would warrant putting them at the top of the pops. Which is a fucking shame because there's something there. With proper management and a team that actually gave a fuck (starting with a producer whose music doesn't sound like it belongs in 2015; whoever green lit Ready To Love to be released needs to be fired... from a canon), Black Pink could actually be the group that many of us want them to be. They have everything they need to prove that they deserve* their place in K-Pop. *I know someone is going to bristle at me using this word here, but if you were to strip Black Pink of their Big 3 status, they would not have the popularity that they do. That's not a drag; that's an observation. Black Pink are where they are because YG poured an obscene amount of money into pushing them to where they are. Ain't nothin' wrong with that (if you got it, flaunt it), but I'mma call a spade a spade.
Speak on it.If an artist/group get extremely famous there is going to be people expecting what the hype is about.Blackpink absolutely has potential but even as mainstream group there going to be criticisms left and right whether positive or negative and fans of any artist or group have to accept that.Blackpink have the IT factor but do need improvement too.
it's bcz of their delulu stans. blackpink is known for their toxic solo stans lisa stans- 'lisa is the best kpop dancer' 😆 jennie stans- 'jennie is the best kpop rapper' rosé- 'best vocalist of kpop' jisoo- the players of victim card, and 'jisoo is the most beautiful idol in kpop' sometimes i think from where blackpink got their stans. their delusional and toxicity level is out of this world
BlackPink have one of the Uniq Voices...Every member have very Diff style of Vocal... That's why I like them is Easier for me to tell which one which and They do have Stage P When Doing Live Performance And their Acting skills I mean Facials expression is Top tier(For me) even In MV...This is my Opinion why they're Famous
It’s funny to me how the only people that criticize blackpink and say they’re overrated are the people who have zero natural talent and sit on their ass all day on TH-cam while the actual vocal coaches who are professionals all agree that blackpink are excellent vocalists 💀💀 just a tad bit funny
What professionals agree they're excellent vocalists? Unless they were scared to say the truth. Yes, they do have great voice colours but besides Rosé who can support notes no one in Blackpink does, therefore they're not vocalists, just singers. Edit: Just to make clear, their positions are vocalists and they're more than okay vocalists for Blackpink but they are really really far away from being "excellent" by any.
Delivering satisfying song is their job,that's why we sit and watch them because we want to be entertained,if we aren't satisfied do have no chance to disagree??
I agree with everything you said, except for the part they sing mostly live, they USED to sing a lot live, even the clips u used were old, also mr removed do not detect prerecorded vocals, but it’s pretty obvious it’s lipped since all their stages sound the same. If I’m not wrong none of the HYLT and LSG performances at music shows are live
No weren't they use pre recorded too in their debut era? Blackpink is only always singing live in award shows, concerts, and other big events. But they don't attend award shows anymore so..
I think no other group faces the amount of criticism that blackpink does, and not always in a constructive way... the groups is full of talent, all members are soloist material, why are people doubting about their skills? My only problem with blackpink is actually the music, which isn't bad, but having less than 30 songs doesn't help, and the fact that a lot of them are done with the same formula makes their music kinda boring, which is the reason why I don't listen to their music as much as I used to I think they should fire Teddy cause I know there's a lot of producers dying for working with blackpink, but I know that's not gonna happen lol Anyway, Blackpink in our area, THE QUEENS ARE COMING BACK
Their skills are doubted because in the 7 years they been out not to mention with the couple years of training they had predebut they have barely grown in comparison to those around them Mamamoo isn't in the same place vocally or talent wise as they were 7 years ago Blackpink shouldn't be either All of these other girl groups have shown tremendous growth over the years in terms of looks discography and talent Blackpinks discography has barely grown in comparison to their peers they have talents but they haven't been expanded on Their looks have grown a bit but not in the same way others have They receive criticism because they have this much popularity but they have nothing to show or even remotely justify why and they're being praised by people as if they're the hottest thing since sliced bread
@@brandoncole5533 I agree. The criticism they recieve is well deserved. I can't believe the are the world's biggest girl group but their stage presence and skills are seriously lacking.
You know what the problem is? Lack of discography+lack of members' interest besides Rosé's. I'll use examples of groups I'm fairly familiar with. Twice- for example has 3mix (Jihyo, Jeongyeon and Nayeon) for vocals. The rest of the members improved or stayed the same but they're functional. Twice has really good dancers but I'd say only 4 members are actual consistent preformers however Twice as 9 work on stage. But it's important to notice that Twice also have 2-3 comebacks per year and that they also have over 40 songs that members written. Their music has involved over time, getting more personal as well. Red Velvet has Wendy and Seulgi as good vocalists, decent dancers and I know people question their stage presence a lot but still Red Velvet still has a lot diverse discography which keeps people interested in them. And they mostly have regular comebacks. Itzy has weak vocalists, but great dancers with good stage presence and complex choreography. Even if people aren't big fan of their songs, it's always good to see them preform. And they also similar to their seniors have multiple comebacks during year. Aespa has pretty balanced vocals, alright dance line and even if they get hate for stage presence which is subjective they're still showing some kind of uniqueness in Kpop with their SMU. Blackpink rarely comebacks, if they do they mostly relay on company's producers and songwriters, their choreographies aren't as complex and they don't seem to improve between comebacks. Yeah, Jisoo has shown improvements in dance so did Rosé in vocals but they still feel as rookies who haven't involved as an artists, preformers or singers even after 6 years. Even during long breaks, Rosé is the only one who releases covers with Lisa occasionally giving dance practices. It just seems like they aren't too passionate about their idol life and the audience can feel it. Especially because there are groups that are giving more content for free, improving more drastically or who brings more diversity.
out of the groups you mentioned, only TWICE and BP had been credited on their works. (As far as I know). The difference of the two is mainly the amount of comebacks. BP, always get hate for the amount of their comeback which it doesn't make any sense. YGE is the one to be blame or hate. However, it surely part of their marketing and branding and BP. Which what makes BP today. If you can't stand how YGE and Blackpink works, just leave the fandom, skip their music, and leave the girls alone.
@@sleepyhead9472 Even Giselle from Aespa already has writings credits for her raps and she's mentioned it she's constantly writing songs so more will eventually get released. Okay, YGE is not giving them comebacks. Is that stoping members from releasing covers on their personal channels, Instagram, Vlive...? Absolutely not. And as I mentioned, during this long hiatuses only Rosé was the only posting covers and Lisa was occasionally posting dance practices. Is lack of comebacks stopping them from improving their skills? Lia from Itzy is improving her dancing a lot in even though Itzy's choreographies are demanding while her group has good amount of comebacks, Wendy improved her vocals even though she was good already and so on. Minzy from 2NE1 had vocal training outside of YGE and she became the best vocalist of her group, while some members of Blackpink faced vocal regression which means they rarely sing between comebacks. I don't hate girls, I like majority of their songs and they're sweet and I wish they'll be able to debunk every single thing I've said this comeback. But Blinks need to stop blaming everything on YGE as girls aren't adults that are in industry for years. And yes, Blinks need to stop taking everything as hate and not as discussion and criticism. Like telling people to "skip their music* will change anything.
@@AB-yk2pq The girls themselves been constantly saying that they participate on their works. According to them, they don't just sit and wait for a complete song. Yes, Rosé seems the member that has the most interest in music (based on her covers etc.) During their hiatus (even they aren't completely gone), Jisoo constantly greet at the end or beginning of the month in Weverse. Jennie releases vlogs. Same goes to Lisa. 3 of them has their own YT channel. There, they do fan service. Are you implying that BP members didn't improve through the years? Jisoo improved her dancing skills. Rosé improved her vocal color or sound. Just listen to their new songs up until her solo debut. Lisa having more vocal lines. Proving that she can sing. (I don't even know what needs to improve). Jennie, not the lazy dancer y'all saying (the narrative).
@@sleepyhead9472 Yeah, that's great but still you can feel their producers/songwriters work instead of members' personalities in majority of cases. And I'm not saying they aren't doing anything, I'm sure they give suggestions and help with Korean-English lyrics but still there's lack of them in their music. Hopefully this new album will show more of their artist side since Rosé and Jennie co-wrote one song. Being on Weverse or sharing vlogs once in while is bare minimum idols are doing. Take at look at how much covers and vlogs rookie groups give such as NMIXX or I'VE for free. There's objectively a lot to improve in vocal aspects considering Rosé is the only one who supports notes. Lisa could always sing like that, but it depends on songs whatever she has rap or vocal lines. Believe me, I know their whole discography. Jennie isn't a lazy dancer (and I've never called her one) but her dancing skills are the same as they used to be, not saying they were ever bad but there's simply no changes. Jisoo has shown improvements in dance but even she was going though vocal regression but hopefully she's improved this comeback. If you are asking me "what needs to be improved" then I guess you really don't know much about vocals specifically or you haven't seen how much other idols improved over time. Blackpink is 6 years old, not 2.
@@AB-yk2pq did all idols got to Mamamoo and Red Velvet's vocal levels throughout their careers? BP is not the best vocally but they aren't terrible. If they improved as a group like hitting high notes while doing back flips, then good for them. If not, it's also fine.
when i was 12 yrs old my friend told me about blackpink (before i was army)she was a blink and i was like ok and i heard their songs at first there songs were good and then i came to know about other girls groups and i realized that other songs are even more catchy and better than why bp are more famous .
The lack of good, consistent music is why I think they're incredibly overhyped. They disappear for several months (which could be career ending for other groups) to give a song of a familiar formula. It's hard to take them seriously. Yes, that's obviously yg's fault, but that affects my experience with the group.
@@judas7585 that's ironic considering how immature you're being insulting another group when I'm simply adding to the discussion of the question posed in the title. Lol
Well, it’s not our fault people don’t like your gg Stop saying they are overhyped because your group doesn’t attract people Stop saying it is hard to take them seriously because your group cannot have a bigger fandom
The term “overhyped” doesn’t make any sense, people really thinks that they need to do whistle notes while giving backflips to justify their million of sales and streams?💀 people are so obsessed worn blackpink popularity bc they want that for their faves, but if your faves can’t get attention from public it’s their fault, not blackpink fault, stop it
@@Oliver-uz1fs But them being more talented than other groups is not a popular opinion, so you can't say that's why they're "overhyped". And that opinion is simply not true and I don't think many people think like that. They're not TERRIBLE as you may think some people make it out to be, and if they are more popular than some other groups there has to be a real reason. If you don't know them or haven't been following them closely, then your mind instantly goes to them not being the most talented group out there (which IS true) so that's why you think they're overhyped, but I think the topic is a lot bigger than just their talents.
Rose and Lisa are the ones who stood out for me among the four. The other two blends in for me with other female idols. Chemistry is like love. It is either there, or not. Someone wished Blackpink to disband because they love the group, so the girls can be freed from YG and reach their full potential. There might be something there. I also must agree with some comments which suggest that their fans is their weakest point.
I agree with everything but not completely. They're not far off from other groups in my opinion. Worst in some categories than others and better in some categories than others. I think BP has some of the best stage presence in kpop/in (young/new) artists overall. Individually and together. They know their music, feel their music, and deliver it exactly how it's meant to be delivered. When Jennie says she's a boss bitch, I believe her. When Jisoo says they roll the carpet out for her, I believe her. When Lisa says she runs the game in high heels, I believe her. And Rose can say anything with that voice and I'd believe her. Some of the best group chemistry in the music industry period (imo). Rose isn't the best vocalist, but I think she is a good one who has steadily been getting better. I would hope that she (and the others) have been taking their long time off the better their skills even more. She does their songs justice and I haven't really seen her slip yet. She consistent and has even shown a little versatility (imo). She's also a great dancer with an infectious personality. Very talented even if she still has room for improvement. Lisa is a very good dancer (imo). I feel like she can hold her own next to Momo, Seulgi, and Chungha (this doesn't mean I think she's better than them). She has shown some versatility. She clearly knows her body well and is captivating on stage. To say she's a sub vocalist, she can surely hold a tune. She's a great rapper as well (consistent delivery, great story telling, energy on 100, etc). Some of the strongest stage presence in kpop overall (but not the best). Jennie is a great lead vocalist. I like what she does with her voice (especially in songs like love to hate me and you never know). I think she should work with a vocal coach to get to know her voice more, though. She has potential to be even better. Her rapping is amazing (one of the best live rappers in kpop imo). I wish for her to write her own in the future (I feel like she has a lot to say). I like her dancing, but it can be inconsistent sometimes (never jarring tho). I give her a pass because she's so good at everything else and she's mentioned having a weak body, ankle injuries and stuff (but she can still improve). Jisoo is a decent lead vocalist, a great one within her group. She has also yet to slip up. Consistent live and reliable. She has a great tone that is so beautiful when it contrasts the other members' voices (like Minnie from Gidle). Her voice is always pleasant to listen to and she sings well (but, like Jennie, I hope she finds a good vocal coach to work with individually to better understand and improve her voice). Still a mediocre dancer, but she has gotten so good over the years (I can tell she's been putting in the work to get better) that I don't even care. When on stage, her dancing rarely sticks out badly. She keeps up. Her stage presence is great and versatile.
For me the reason why blackpink are popular is because 1 they are only 4 and easy to identify as every one of them is different from the other unlike other girl groups consisting of 8+ members stacked into a fking 3 min track 2 three of them are fluent in english which means a wider appeal. 3 Jisoo has a unique voice even though she's a weak vocalist. 4 Lisa is a stage beast.
I remember seeing a video of someone saying blackpink always lip sync. Which is a complete lie and I’m glad this video points out that they do sing live.
The thing that bothers me with blackpink is that they have a LOT of time to improve unlike other idols who have many, many more schedules compared to them but they just don't. Aside from the fact that rosé improved on her vocals, I don't see anything else from the others. If anything, there's more regression than improvement. Also the fact that blinks have made it a habit to overpraise them for their frankly sub-par skills also irks people
That's why Rosé will have the longest solo career no matter what people said. Cause she is actually passionate and even though she's not the perfect vocalist or dancer, she's balanced and well aware of her abilities. I can't say same about the rest of the group.
I think they should go to a singing course lol. They obviously have talents in singing but they rely solely on their born gifted talents like they never learn the best way to sing
Let's say that what you say is true is that they were absent for less than two years. Many girl bands have emerged, but they have not diminished their popularity even a little bit. On the contrary, even if they have this popularity, of this company increases, all this is due to Black Pink because they were absent fans want to fill the vacuum with other bands or at least find an alternative. I watch other teams like Dreamcatcher, aspa, or any Korean band that always show up, there's something missing. nothing It can fill the vacuum left by the girls and I saw there were some comments being a band from a big company HH, the agency sm and jyp especially sm have many teams girls with good voices but something is missing from them like the red velvet band Despite the beautiful sounds, there is no chemistry among the members also the vocies icant remmber who is who even Twice, and even if we talk to the boys bts as well, not the best band. They also came from a small agency at the end of the day. It doesn't matter the idol is talented or not, or a he come from big company or not. Everything is about music if it touches your heart or not and yg knows how to make muisic if like it or not the swag they have the present on the stage many group does not have that.
They can't accept the fact that their faves who they think are more talented can't get such insane amount of hype. BP's popularity shows how their music touched many hearts. Nobody can force anyone if their hearts don't want it, right? No matter how talented other groups are if they failed to move hearts then sorry, that's how it goes.
BlackPink is popular due to amazing marketing and their likeness to 2NE1. BlackPink debut shortly after 2NE1 disbanded and people hyped them up as 2NE1's replacement. If BlackPink was not marketed as a 2NE1 replacement and did not debut after 2NE1's disbanding then no one would really be paying attention to them tbh. The ladies are gorgeous, but their dancing is subpar and music is bland. Blink's toxicity, Rosé's vocals, Lisa's main character energy along Jennie's beautiful face and love life scandals are carrying the group tbh
I really don't know wtf happened to me back in 2016, Like I always think that there's a lot of talented girls out there as well, but this bvtches suddenly grabbed my attention and Idk why, I was just listening to wonder girls, girl's day, and 9Muses, then it was when they released Boombayah- and that's when it all started.
Your video is great as always but this time is just….. like you gave an opportunity to haters💀 There’s nothing wrong if you guys are going to criticize them as long as you guys respect and don’t insult the girls (some people in this comment section literally did 🥲)

I am surprised by the amount of blinks taking this video as any sort of attack or hate, which is not the case WHATSOEVER. I think it's pretty clear.
I am a fan of Blackpink, not a delusional stan. That's all.
It's okay, they're just new here I guess. :)
Thank you for keeping it real, respectful but positive as well. I can't wait to see more of your analysis after September.
They’re very weird. You have a history of always defending blackpink (and even shading other groups while doing so). So I don’t know what they’re on
I know are kpop girl groups that perform better than Blackpink in certain areas like vocals (Red Velvet, Aespa, Mamamoo), collective stage presence (Twice & Dreamcatcher) or dancing (Itzy), but that doesn't make love any less Blackpink. And also i agree they're too popular for their own good.
Btw, for some reason, I feel that you underestimate girlgroup (G)I-DLE a lot, really. They've been so underrated so far, that it's frustrating at times. For me, (G)I-DLE is top tier girlgroup in Kpop, even if they have to compete with Itzy & Aespa though, they did not lose, but I certainly respect your opinion...
They never learn 😂 I think you said this thing about every singer every month now 😂 there will always be that super Stan that can’t accept any sort of criticism 😓
It’s not rocket science really. Their popularity is not because of their music but because how well YG promoted them and attracted people towards them as individuals. Sadly you can’t become nearly as popular as blackpink just by making good music. YG’s marketing strategy for Blackpink worked super well for them.
Now they are at a point where YG knows they don’t have to improve themselves so they don’t even try. They know fans will digest anything.
But does BTS go the same way as Blackpink does? Since they're reaching a very high-tier of popularity and Blackpink nearly reaching their position as well?
bts worked their ass off and they lift their company with them. There is no way anyone can compare both of them. @@masteroffear5762

@@masteroffear5762¿Qué pingo tiene que ver BTS con BP? Hasta la comparación ofende, es prácticamente imposible comparar tan siquiera a alguno de los integrantes.

But why are Treasure and Winner not on the same level of popularity like BP when it`s only depending on marketing? Genuinely asking. There has to be more to it than marketing...
I'm just a casual listener and while I enjoy some of their songs, I also struggle to see what's so special about them that makes them so popular. the gap of popularity between them and other kpop girl groups is quite large, so what makes them so different than others, I can't really see that.
I'd say it's mix of everything that makes Blackpink- good and bad.
So true! Their songs are all very similiar to each other and during their entire career of 7 years they released like 20 songs? They didn't even had any comeback for 2 years yet they are still so hyped. They have big 3 privilege that's all

overhyped is the perfect word to use when describing blackpink and there’s many reasons to back it up too. for one, there’s really no reason or excuse as to why they’re the “biggest gg in the world” but yet only have 1 full album and about 30 something songs as a six year group. and i already know what blinks are going to say “ tHaT jUsT pRoVeS hOw SuCcEsSfUl ThEy ArE” no it doesn’t. the only thing it’s proving is that they’re heavily popular which we all already know. but it says nothing about their musical success which is what it should be focused on but it isn’t. another reason would be how the majority of their songs talk about being independent women who don’t need a man, but yet their whole career is literally controlled by a group of men. it really doesn’t sit right with me how you have lyrics that are meant to be inspiring for females, being produced, written, and looked over by males that don’t even respect women it the first place. it makes no sense to me.

Go cry BITCH😂
I do think BLACKPINK are too popular for they're own good because they haven't used their great potential to improve and prove why they deserve to have that crazy amount of success. If Jisoo can improve her dance skills, there shouldn't be a reason their technique (vocals) and music can't improve. It's been almost 6 years since their debut! But their label is also at fault for these long hiatuses and lack of experimenting!
exactly! for a group that take so much hiatuses you would think that they invest all this time in improving, but no! they don't improve and they always come out with the same music! the only thing that changes is their visuals and appearances
I think however who has made great progress in the dance is Jennie, in this long hiatus she has practiced a lot with the dancers of yg, I hope it is like this for all the members. (+ Rosé has also done a lot of covers and you can see that her vocals have improved)
well their popularity and success aren't at the same insane level as bts of course but I agree they need to show their artistry and how deserving they are cos a lot of teenagers follow them but i see even their fans don't care and follow them like influencers and insta models more than actual artists so
"If Jisoo can improve her dance skills"
But she has already... and over the years.
@@rainydays1911 that's what they said 🤦🏻♀️
we are forgetting one fundamental thing: MARKETING. blackpink are literally models, sorta characters where anyone can indentify him/herself/themselves with, and the lifestyle they have + their personalities ARE attractive to a large number of people. the fact that they are brand ambassadors, look like a normal group of friends who skyrocketed in fame and are just pretty and talented is a bonus.
They're weren't brand ambassadors when they debuted were they? They became ambassadors some years ago .. And they became ambassadors because they were POPULAR already
What personalities? They act fake af.....
@Priyanshu Kumar popular from the beginning because of yg privlage
They got popular in the beginning because of the controversy from coming after their senior group (and more stuff concerning that), 2NE1. They also had some other controversies and scandals around debut (ex: Lisa being Thai, the music video & culture stuff, etc). In addition to that, they also have their major label backing them up with producers, songwriters (for catchy music, not so much meaningful music or intricate music .. but I digress, catchy music still has a huge place in music. After all, the main point of music is to enjoy it), stylists, music videos, training, etc. It was mainly their visuals (which is not a skill or talent of course, but is a very important thing in entertainment), charisma, presenting something that hadn't so much been seen before in kpop (although it was already in kpop.), easily digestible concept, somewhat "unauthentic"/curated personalities (I like to say that people have different faces, for and to: business, friends, family, themselves, strangers, and acquaintances.) and catchy music that carried them past their popularity boom from controversy and being from a big label that hadn't debuted another girl group in a very long time. Now it's mainly their discovery factor, being mainstream/popular (+international), and again, digestibility.
Plus, they almost always play it safe with concepts and vocals (technically speaking). This isn't to say they aren't at least somewhat skilled. You can be at a French level of B2, yet take French 1 (low level class).
Because YG has marketed them to be self-inserts for people to vicariously live through. All the attention is focused on their endorsement deals, photo shoots, MVs, ambassadorships, etc.. Meanwhile even the most hardcore fans know very little about their backgrounds and everyday personal lives aside from what YG wants to divulge. They are as close to a blank slate in K-Pop as possible.
in my mind 3 things played a role for blackpink to be that famous today.
-YG marketing
-Teddy
- coat tailing to exo got7 twice bts popularity in 2016-2017
I think blackpink's success stems a lot from pretty privilege. There's no effort put into the group by anyone whether it's the company or blackpink themselves. Blackpink doesn't even do fan service of any kind. Are we really gonna say the company is not allowing them to speak to their fans. The only time they really engage with fans is when they're promoting something of their's. It's been two and a HALF years since their last comeback. Other than Lisa they're very average dancers and even Lisa doesn't do any dance promotions. She could be featured on a dance platform like Studio Choom. Their lack of songs is actually an insult to their fans. While other companies take pride in giving their idols' fans adequate comebacks, Yge thinks they don't have to because blackpink's fans will eat up whatever their given and y'all do eat it up. Vocal wise the group is average as well. Most of 4th gen is made up of minors. When you have teenagers outdoing veterans in vocal capability, you know something is wrong. Lastly, this is a personal gripe but their English in songs is so embarrassing. The actual English and the translations sound like a foreigner trying to sound American and it's just not it.
I wouldn't even say they are average in vocals. I would say they're below average.
@@leavemealone322 well they are not a vocal grp to begin with
@@chimmy9455 I agree with you, I am not sure what group they would fit into exactly. For example, twice are a dance group and red velvet are a vocal group. Not sure for blackpink

I honestly agree that rosé is vocally underrated and receives the most criticism for no reason even tho she’s a very good singer and dancer I also agree that pretty savage is a very addicting song in their discography

While as a blink, I do know that Rosé doesn’t have the best technique, she’s my favorite idol singer and has one of the best vocal delivery for an idol.
That shouldn’t really be an excuse for people to unnecessarily criticize her vocals.

Yes, but it should actually be constructive and positive...and have some relationship to reality. Just expressing a bunch of marginal fringe hater talking points and then slapping the "constructive criticism" label on it all is a big no-no. It's like taking a 10-year-old box of stale cornflakes and sticking a "Fresh and delicious!" label on top of the long-ago passed expiration date. The cornflakes are still stale and moldy. The new label doesn't make them magically fresh and delicious.
It's the same with lame hater talking points. Just pretending that they're suddenly "constructive and positive criticism" doesn't change what they really are.
@@girlgirl1426 People can have opinions and give valid criticism. Free speech is a thing is case you forget!
@@TEAM__POSEID0N For a second there, I thought you were talking about Blackpink’s comeback. Not because I am a hater, you have to care to be one. But because many Blinks said so.
they were SO MUCH better the first few years 😭😭
Another thing to note is how how quickly the group blew up. When Blackpink debuted their popularity and critical acclaim was overwhelmingly high and they were incredibly well received. They were getting fan gifts and letters well before they even debuted. When their pre-debut promotional dance video for Bitch Better Have My Money released they were already too popular at that point for their own good. Which left little room for true growth. They talked about it in their documentary and the director of the documentary mentioned in several interviews how new and alien the fame is for them. Jennie even said in the movie “I wanted people to see the potential in us, didn’t necessarily have to be like “wow, this group came out and they’re so perfect in every way”. The girls seem to always be under the pressure to sell more, get more views and blow everyone out of the their way with w.e their next project is. I think this pressure comes not only from the fans but YG the label as well. They constantly promote these girls to be bigger, better, faster, stronger, than everything else in kpop only to give the girls material that will guarantee a return on the labels investment and not give the girls much to challenge them with. Truth be told most kpop groups and pop artist get very little creative control over their music and image in the very start of their career. Most labels are not going to let the girls just experiment and take chances until they’ve begun to not only break even financially but also not until they’ve establish a brand and a formula that’s certified to get the money they put into the girls back. That’s just how pop music operates no matter where it comes from.
Unfortunately, the trial and error, growth, breakthroughs, and more are all happening in front and with the massive amount fans they have, who are expecting the same result every single comeback and then some. It also doesn’t help that because of the way they are promoted and the long hiatuses between comebacks (which personally doesn’t bother me much) fans will expect something revolutionary to have been made within their time away. What’s interesting is that if Blackpink had released all of their discography closer together then awkward mistakes, kinks; moments of unsureness and the overall the artist development and refinement, and grace period that’s suppose to be happening 3-5 years into any artist career would’ve happened naturally. It would’ve possibly not only humanized the girls but also wouldn’t have left fans and kpop consumers with an unfair negative perception of the girls and it wouldn’t leave the girls under pressure to live up to the last because of the big breaks that feel longer than they are. Essentially their reputation and early explosive popularity made it difficult for them to rise to the occasion, because the bar was set so high before they even began.
I think the girls are beginning to get more comfortable in their skin and were given more creative freedom in their last album. It feels like the girls are just starting to scratch the surface of their potential. We are only now beginning to see the girls truly spread their wings artistically, but because of the marketing tactics and fans and anti fans ridiculous online antics, their actual skills and solid work ethic easily gets overshadowed.
Say what you want a about the blackpink’s music formula, but it seems to be doing something right, because year after year more fans cling on to the girls like crazy. The whole “starved fans” consuming anything yg throws their way doesn’t really explain massive influx of devoted fans almost yearly. I think the general public do appreciate their sound and formula. Of course the fact that they are so visible helps, but visibility can only go so far. Their live tour and stage moments are some of my favorite kpop performances. The girls just look like they’re having so much fun and are effortlessly performing while engaging and hyping up the crowd. Like you feel like you’re enjoying the moment with them, not watching a spectacle (no shade to spectacles, they are visually amazing). Don’t even get me started on when they perform with their live band also cleverly called in typical yg fashion "The Band”. Those guys elevate those songs to another level, and I personally enjoy listening to their live versions of the Blackpinks songs more than the studio one. The synergy they create with the girls on stage is just beautiful.
@@moptop4355 you are so right.
@@moptop4355 yeah I truly feel BP haven't had the chance to spread their wings as you say like other 3rd gen groups.
no offence , no hate (pls don't bash) but i feel like they got alot of attention during the rookie years is because yg didn't have alot of gg and it was just bp that was the only gg.
@@clearsight6381 nah it’s far more complex than that. That played a small part in it though.
I honestly believe they were not made to be a kpop group. Their music, style, attitude and even the waiting for an album release is very western. They are a group made for the western market with elements of kpop sprinkled in.
Their main producer and songwriter is Korean-American.
Rosé and Jennie grow up in western countries, and they always have a lot of English in songs.
They were created to work both as kpop and pop, but ever since 2018 or so they're treated just as western group from their company.
Their new sound? Yes this is accurate
umm... Not true. Western acts are mainly focused on music... kpop on performance as a whole and visuals, glamour, and other pursuits such as modeling. Blackpink is literally the latter. Western acts write their own music and it is a requirement. Big focus is on vocals, they release full albums instead of singles and EPs like BP.... and not half as much focus is on visuals and MVs as opposed to music.
BP, on the other hand, literally has music as their least priority. More focus is on fashion, brand deals, visuals and glamour. No real artistic integrity or even personality-driven fun music. Live singing is necessary without a super loud backtrack as in Bp's case. If they were a Western act they would've been extremely ridiculed and no one would spare another glance at them. These mediocre things driven by visuals only works in Kpop. However, I do agree that the focus is indeed on western success, therefore the very forced badass women/girl crush image. Their marketing is directed towards a Western audience, they want western validation/success and won't mind forgetting their roots to get that. They don't ever even mention any korean or Kpop artists they might like, not even their own seniors(BB)...it's always western artists and bands, and there are no Korean sentiments in their music either. Again, they're trying to separate themselves from the rest of Kpop by pushing the idea that they're above those other kpop acts( the "we're not like other girls" of K-pop) They constantly attend prestigious western events, fashion shows, parties etc and take pics with influencers, celebrities and other powerful and expensive people that feeds into their branding even more. Their brand is exclusivity and everything they do reflects that. They even stopped attending K-award shows for that reason. They don't have big awards to win, so might as well not go at all and make ourselves even more exclusive.
Blackpink was designed to be a brand, an exclusive brand and that's what they are.... They were not supposed to be a music group, kpop or not. Just pretty women with attitude and swag.... to utilize that image to create a recognized brand. It's like the Kardashians... They followed the same method to popularity and it worked.
I think it's how strong their branding is. Like just by merely hearing their music or seeing some photos or concept, it immediately clicks and reminds you of them. They have established their brand to the point that even if they have no group activity for a long time, a lot of fans still look forward to them and they stay relevant.
The problem behind their popularity is that BP does not have a discography to justify how loved they are.. they seem to work mostly as Influencers and models and their agency does not allow them to be taken seriously as artists. Imagine if a group from a small company like mamamoo had barely 20 songs that sound mostly identical... they would not be popular as bp because being from yg gave them an incredible push to start their career. It's hard to understand why they are so popular when they are constantly called the biggest gg in the world and their music is ok.. it's just ok music and it's understandable to be confused as WHY
Edit: i wrote this comment in the morning when i was on a rush on my way to work so I'm going to add a few things that have been misunderstood: I don't hate bp, I think they have charisma and talent BUT their agency does not give them opportunities to really show that. They give them songs that repeat the same few concepts and are very scarce in quantity. They starve the fans for content so that they will eat up the next cb no matter what the quality is or if they finally allowed to put the girls artistic input in their music. How does a person know that they are good artists if yg forces them to sing songs made by others? And sing only 4 new songs a year and be a model the rest of the time? Anyway I really hope that they will get some personal credit and more than 5 new songs in their upcoming album. I'm not a fan but I'm rooting fot them
I totally agree!
Yes they have few songs but they make all of them memorable. What's the point of having 8 comebacks in a year if all your songs give the same and no one ever remembers them and a first timer will forget you after it's finished.
@@softKactuz yes, they charge their fans eight times a year with a lot of low quality songs and their fans brag about that

So from your logic Tressure going to beat BTS in terms of popularity because they are from YG? Or did winnner beat BTS or gain same amount of popularity like Blackpink after their 4+ year long carrier?You guys are too funny with your logic.🤣
I think they are too popular than they should be in terms of girl k pop groups. Doesn’t mean they don’t deserve all the success. I do feel most of their setbacks is due to not promoting a lot. They haven’t been pushed to their best. YG and the group make more doing solo gigs that working on their craft. Twice, red velvet, itzy, and even soloists like hylolyn are improving drastically while black pink are at the same place as before. The potential is there but unused.
This can be most probably because of their long hiatus.. Like they have that potential to do more but they most probably are in events like modelling.. And this is most probably because of yg like are you sleeping come on give them atleast 2 combacks a year with one full album..
You did not say itzy is improving 💀 their music just gets worse and worse

Note from me as a dancer: Rosé Jenne and Jisoo are GOOD dancer who defenetly can serve dancing, especially Rosé and Jennie. But when it comes to Lisa she's just a beast, not only from her group performances does she stand out, but her technicall dancing in hiphop, high heels, isolation/popping and street Jazz is just fantastic. I've seen alot of professional dancers react to her own dance videos and they literally never have to say anything negative about her dancing skills.
Blackpink is just a well marketed group that’s it
What attracts me to black pink is how they seamlessly merge English with the Korean language. By that I mean the pronunciation, the attitude, they express their music well overall, even a non Korean person like me finds it easy to follow.
Edit: Guys calm down, I said HOW they do it works for me, I also love how Gidle does it even though they mostly sing in Korean, I like their flow. This is not an attack on your faves and it's not unique whatsoever, I just like HOW THEY do it, you guys make it sound like each group doesn't have a signature style and the first group I Stanned was Miss A, that should give you a hint of how long I've been listening to kpop.
Hey why every one is forgetting their raps like their raps are really hard and their raps are some of the best in kpop
Cause majority of their producers and songwriters lived in English speaking countries or learned fluent English during their youth.

YG does great media play. This is why babymonster w/ a mediocre song got millions of views within hours.
Personally, I think they’re too manufactured. All their songs sound just about the same to me. Not to say that other groups don’t have the same issue, cause even Mamamoo has that issue, but Blackpink just don’t click for me in that regard. Hwasa alone would murder them all.
Mamamoos problem is they try EVERY concept, every musical style. Which will ultimately lead to even the biggest fans not liking some of the discography. However I will say this, I like 80% of mamamoos songs and dislike 20%. I like 20% of blackpink songs and dislike 80%.

One thing I wish : They should improve their skills . For themselves. There always room
For improvement.
Actually, their vocal skills are above average for Kpop girl groups. There are quite a few Kpop girl groups who are all basically doing the same chirpy baby-girl vocals in every song. Totally unlistenable. Blackpink are quite good. It may be accurate to say that there are some groups that have stronger vocals. But that's just it. "Some groups"...and not that many actually.

Bur this isnt a voice contest otherwise the most high singing would be popular and loved and succesfull.

Blackpink is the whole package and no hole in any of this aspects thats why they are this enourmously fricking Popular and legend level
@@TEAM__POSEID0N They really are good. If you listen to their live vocals wow they are rocking it! Its something you have to be born with it having great vocals, Rose and jennie are soo good! jisoo have a great voice too i was so suprised to her. Even lisa who only dance and rapp, has good vocals singing live better than a lot of other gg groups.
I don't understand the hype. They have average voices and songs. Nothing impressive
You can be the best singer and dancer in the world but if you don't have that thing that makes you stand out and makes you somewhat of a star, then it's useless in this industry. Each of the blackpink girls have something that makes them stand out and that is so appealing, for exemple when i see other groups covering their songs i hate it cause it sounds too cringe whereas the girls the few songs that they covered blew out on the internet like "So Hot", everyone thought it was their own song. To be successful here you have to have that thing that others don't, even if those other idols sing better or dance better, if they don't have that thing then it won't work.
Agree.
I think the main problem is the lack of music content and comeback that are years apart. Being called the best, and being the most popular with so little songs that are also very repetitive and similar are difficult to process. My gripes are with YG and YG only. I wish BP had biiiiiiiger discography. I also wish girls were allowed to publish their own songs.
Yes because many vocal coaches have praised their voices and said that they have potential.. It's damn time yg give them more songs so that the potential can be used and they can experiment their voices
I feel like one of the reasons why Rosé gets more criticism for her vocals than the groups leads despite being the best in her group technique wise is because her vocal color is pretty unique for lack of better word. Out of all of them (sans Lisa) her vocals are the kind that can need time to warm up to
Koreans like a stable strong voice without any characters. Like the sound of a motor engine.
The first time I heard Roses voice in whistle, I instantly loved her
for me is the oposit, Rosé's vocals are beautiful but can be tyring if you listen to them for a long time
@@softKactuz Rose is a folk singer being forced to sing pop and whatever else YG and Teddy assigned to them. She is in the wrong genre.
I think its mostly because so many fans constantly claim she has the best vocals in kpop... If delusional stans were less hyperbolic about her skills, I don't think people would be so critical of her, especially since we all know BP isn't a vocal-oriented group. It would also help if people used the correct language to express that her vocal color is their favorite, rather than imply that her vocal technique is the best in the bizz. I think a lot fans say she has the best vocals (implying objective technical proficiency) when they really mean to say she has their favorite voice (implying subjective preference). This isn't something unique to the blink fandom, but the consequences are amplified because BP has so many fans saying that.
The same can be said for fans claiming that Jennie or Lisa are the best rappers in kpop like..... I'm a fan but it's just not even close to true in terms of technique. And as a result they get a lot of hate for their rapping. The only claim you can make like that wrt BP and not get backlash is "Lisa is the best dancer in kpop" because she is definitely one of the best in her generation, and accordingly we don't see people being hypercritical of her dancing-- it's because it's not hyperbole, and it's an objectively defensible claim.
In BP each member has a role and image that connects with the public, each one is recognizable and the four complement each other, their music is mainly intended for the international market and is consistent in its style (which you may or may not like, that is subjective ), the company has developed the image of each one in such a way that at the time when BP dissolves it will have 4 artists already positioned. Her vocal skills, dance skills and comparisons can be questioned but each of them has enough quality in her position within the group and individually.
blackpink seem more like models / fashion influences now instead of relying on music for popularity lol
Although Blackpink has some of the catchiest movie in entertainment today and I enjoy a lot of their songs, I always wonder if the singers could be or would even be remarked for their talent if they didn't have such a big agency behind them. There are kpop group members that are so standout that they could individually succeed without a group. But whenever I watch a blackpink performance it all seems to be very manufactured and like there's something missing. This is no hate to the girls, they're clearly hard workers. But I guess I just find them to be a bit forgettable.
Talent was, is and will never be equal to fame, it's not only in kpop but all around the world. You need more than just mere talent to gain widespread attention.
You need to have that balance which Bp has whether it be talent, fashion, journeys, beauty, endorsements, personalities++
They have so many elements which other gg probably lack in,, that's what makes them so appealing....
@@chimmy9455 I wholeheartedly agree. But I think this further supports my claim that their appeal is because the people behind them and the way that they are marketed. I give credit to their label for producing such a force and to them for being so hard working. But then again, everyone in kpop has to work hard. The reason other gg don't have the appeal of bp isn't because they aren't capable, it's because of those behind them.
@@jemimajanvier4706 well not in all cases, Bp first of all have very less members and each of them are so different but compliment each other so well that it gains mass attention very fast+their personalities appeals to the public and people relate to them much better. Music and company does play a role but not always for eg there are so any smaller company artists who are bigger than many big 3 artists. That's why balance plays a huge role in fame which many artists or companies find it hard to code, that's the thing Bp has...
I kind of disagree with your opinion on their stage presence. I see you've watched Everglow-up's video on that matter (with which I also kind of disagree with). Their debut stage, their debut stage in Japan, their Coachella performances, the iconic Iceland Whistle + Jungle Playing with Fire performance, the Kill This Love stage where they wore the red outfits from the mv, their Pretty Savage Performances (especially in the Show), their So Hot cover... like I'm sorry there are so many iconic Blackpink stages. In my personal opinion, they have some of the best stage presence in Kpop and out of Big3 3rd Generation girlgroups, they are the strongest on stage especially because every member has unique charisma.
I mean, I only need to say "WHAT'S UP JAPAN?" and everyone knows who and when and what.
You're right, blackpink does have some crazy performances and very good stage presence ! Although I would argue that their individual stage presence is muuuuuuch more efficient and strong than their stage presence as a group. They have chemistry outside the stage but it's less visible once they're on stage cause they just shine so much individually, imo. One of the only comebacks for which i think they did very well was the lovesick girls one, for some reason. But when compared to groups that have extreeeeme coordination and some kind of common energy if I may, BP's stage presence feels kinda off. Just looking at Gfriend, twice, dreamcatcher if I stay in the gg, or BTS and ateez as for bg, you can tell that some groups just have better presence on stage as a group. It doesn't mean BP's stage presence is bad, just that they're not the best when it comes to them as a collective.
sorry but you guys use the word iconic too much till it lost it's meaning! BP are good but there's nothing iconic about them
I think he clearly meant collective stage presence not just the stage presence alone. It’s not a question about them having stage presence ‘cause they could literally tear up a stage. I guess he meant their balance when performing together as a group. Sometimes they do put their energy in hyping up the crowd which add up to their presence. But this is what I have noticed about them, when they are together, it just doesn’t match up that well.
the problem is it's not consistent and their performances in general have only grown messy. that's why people are so frustrated with bp, we know they can do so much but the company and girls themselves are holding them back, with their lack of training, practice and passion. of course in 6 years there's some good potential but even those better performances are still on the edge of really being something. they give off this young, exciting energy but they're not versatile and professional. if you compare their best to other groups, soloists or even western artists you can see they still lack and that used to be fine because they were rookies, but they have less and less excuses as they move through their careers. especially after we've all seen the explosion that's been the 4th gen. these brand new teenagers! shouldn't be better than a 6 year old group of grown adults. i only found jennie captivating out of the solo performances so far. and it was still just a bp jennie performance, she didn't give us anything new. at the end of the day you can like what you like, if bp entertain you then great but that doesn't remove the fact that they're overrated and problematic and have a long, interesting conversation behind them. i think it's a shame. but i hope their new comeback will be decent, fans deserve respect. yge would be nowhere without blinks.
When they don't dance as much and they have back up dancers they're stage presence as a group is better.
Can I be honest, popularity doesn’t mean you have to be the best at what you do, you just have to appeal to a larger audience. Blackpink do that with their bad ass style, and they don’t have to be the best at vocals or dancing to be the most popular girl group in the world. And that’s what most Kpop lovers can’t understand. They expect the most popular to be the best, but that’s not always the case.
Blackpink is given the title 'biggest gg in the world' they don't have to be the best but atleast they have to better than they were years ago we can clearly see they are loosing interest as a group and are regressing. Their vocals and dance aren't that hard like other groups,it's their job to do such so but blinks don't care about it anymore,they just support them no matter what which is why blackpink treats their own job As a side job. They know their fans will support them and defend them so they have stopped putting efforts

I feel like Blackpink is a good gateway group, but as you slowly immerse yourself into the larger world an diversity of groups you’ll see how BP compares to them and make your own opinions from that.
I mildly liked BP in the beginning of me getting into kpop bc they were the only ones I knew besides bts. I got into more groups like Ateez, SKZ, svt, everglow, dreamcatcher, and Twice and saw myself moving away from Blackpink. I don’t think I rly have any of their songs now. It’s a personal preference of: 1. wanting to know the artists actually have personal involvement in production; 2. Music.
They were good before 2019 but now they set the standard low because they knew that Blinks will always supporting them even after disbandment, that's why TEDDY BEAR OPPA don't need to make more good music anymore. They will still get paid for doing the bare minimum
Yes they're unique from different groups at first but now it's just getting lame and doesn't excite music lovers anymore but Blinks.
People who think that BP did not worked hard for what they have now are completely DELUSIONAL!.
imagine the 4-6 years training period and dealing haters since debut 💀💀💀
Their Popularity and hype consists of so many things actually, it’s not just music, it’s their group chemistry, personalities, fashion style, life stories,visuals and many other things. Other groups may have better vocals, dancing abilities or other things, but bp has everything in balance, that’s why they appeal to so many people
FINALLY SOMEONE SAID IT. Blackpink is literally the only group who has a perfect balance of talent, skills, and unique attraction of different elements. They are not the best vocally, but their individual vocal techniques are easily different from each other which makes their song enjoyable to hear on repeat. Their visuals are also very different, even if you are not a kpop fan or do not know blackpink you can easily distinguish their faces. Their unique individuality is a big reason for the division in the fandom. Each members have their own transparent personality. I myself connect with Lisa more than the other members because i personally love her positive and carefree radiance and my style is the same with Lisa. My aesthetic is not soft like Rose, or trendy like Jennie, or classy lady like Jisoo. Most of my wardrobe has always been consisted of vintage and thrifted clothes and I have been unconsciously dressing like a tomboy since I was 10 and even the way Lisa casually moves like tomboy i also relate to her on that. But even if the members style, aesthetic, vibe, and personality and very different from each other, their chesmistry is the strongest and the realest i have seen so far in Kpop. Like Lisa would kiss her members a lot even though female idols are generally expected to be conservative. Lisa and Rose argue even when there is a camera around. Jisoo scolds Lisa like a mother even if there is a camera. Jennie tends to be transparent whenever she is annoyed with her members' unnecessary childishness. The members said it themselves that they feel like they are closer than their actual families and have known each other better than their families know them. There is REAL AUTHENTICITY with the group. People admire realness and this authenticity allows the blackpink members to present themselves genuinely and because of that authenticity their own personalities shine. Which is also another reason why they are entertaining and interesting. Their individual background and history adds more flavour to the group.

THIS !!
So because of marketing and their image, and not necessarily because of their talents. No shade because that’s how the industry works, branding and developing an image matters. I think they are incredibly charismatic and YG sure knows how to milk the money cow, but…
Agreed
Well I'm a blink and I never love them bcs of their skills anyway, skills are like the bottom rock reason why I love them. If I could rank them, it would be:
1. Their vocal colours (not skill). Each member has a unique vocal both inside and outside the group. They all sound so different yet beautiful and completing each other.
2. Their songs. People might say that their song is repetitive, but for me it's okay bcs I like that girl crush genre and they always come with a totally different instrumentals. Their b sides are also diverse.
3. Their relations to each other. They're literally a family, really close and genuine to each other.
4. Skills. Their rap, singing, and stage presence can be REALLY good on some occasions
5. Visuals. They're so pretty and charismatic without a visual hole. (I know this might be a wrong reason to stan someone but I'm just being honest 🙏)
So I think skills are not the main reason of why some artists are so popular. What will attract people the most are the songs and the artists personality
I agree with you. Some people are just born to be the stars. There are a lot of best singers ,rappers, performers but the problem is they can't attract people
Those are why I love them too. They make every line in a song sound unique but connected. I feel like they are improving and deserves to show many of their talents/skills because it’ll will solidify through exhibitions. I wish someone would mentor Rose on how to close a song when she sings alone. She’ll be perfect after that in my eyes.
I think they are aestheticaly pleasing
But they are not as talented as people love to paint them to be
YG team definitely know how to promote them thats what made them so successful
I can name many other artists in kpop who deserve the success BTS and blackpink are getting
The new gen of kpop idols are all aestheticaly pleasing and rarely have any real talent outside of being a group member
talent doesn't define fame and it never will
I feel like you could have dived a whole lot deeper into why and how Blackpink achieved their mega-popularity and how detrimental it is to how kpop stans view them. Whenever any artist gets to mega popularity status they will always be scrutinized way more than underdog artists, that's how it is for everyone. I feel like your video focused more on how their skills/talents compare to other less popular groups, but c'mon that's so tired, we knooooow that BP isn't as talented as other groups. But I feel like Blackpink is very deserving of their popularity status for several reasons.
1) They have a majority of western/foreign members, giving them more of an international appeal. It is very rare for 75% of a group to be English speakers.
2) The genre of music they make and their concept give them the flexibility to make any type of music and have it match the concept and gives their music a chance to appeal to a variety of listeners. Even though they are not the most technically skilled in any category, that honestly does not matter when it comes to consumption and popularity. (Justin Bieber as a western example, mediocre singing, dancing, ect skills, but still one of the top musicians in the world). Wendy is (imo) the most talented kpop singer but she is one of the least popular members in Red Velvet.
3) Like you said, their dynamic with each other feels and looks authentic, it's enjoyable to watch them interact with each other, and each member is entirely unique, boosting their indivudual popularity as well.
4) Speaking of unique, the Pinks are just that! Extremely unique. From their visuals, to personalities, to singing tones, everything about them makes them stand out from other k-pop groups where the members tend to just blend together. I still have a hard time distinguishing the voices of Twice and Red Velvet etc.
5) Lastly, they were anticipated as 2NE1's sister group, so kinda like nepotism babies, they have a bigger start than other groups to begin with. But their popularity from that point on was entirely due to Blackpink, as each member is extremely likeable and they each have their own star power.
tldr; Blackpink is mega popular because of their unique members, and their popularity is rightly deserved. Talent =/= popularity
I disagree with their flexibility for music because they are one of the groups that I feel most of their songs are the same.
@@DorothyYukarifact. they're one of the most boring k-pop groups because they don't really have a concept (concept as in k-pop concept)
@@jihyohirai6224 BP albums always 1 slow song and other are badass vibe songs. I know they are girl crush and they are not only groups that usually have the same songs.
Good points! Thanks for the comment!
@@DorothyYukari Because their music is not for some kpopies. They do their music to appeal larger music fan around the world.For some kpopies it’s look same but for international audience these type of music they are looking for to make their mind fresh and energetic.
why i think blackpink is this successful and sometimes people call them overrated
1) obviously yg’s influence as a big 3 company: if we were serious, the girls wouldn’t be so popular after all those hiatuses if they came from a small company. it gave them the push they needed but personally boombayah was everyone’s cup of tea because of how charismatic the girls were in their debut era: whistle and boombayah are still iconic songs in kpop.
2) the members: easy names, easily recognizable faces and positions, with distinctive personalities and voices. we have lisa, cool and tomboyish, jennie who’s more badass and savage, rosie who’s sweet and sings about heartbreaks and jisoo with a more husky voice and girl-next-door aura. I think that since they are pretty different from one another people can identify themselves better, which is why there are sooo many solo stans
3) THE MVS: so expensive lookin and bomb af lmao most non kpop fans are super attracted to them + the songs are yes repetitive but flowy and with a catchy beat and the rap adds to the overall good songs. I think that the fact that they use so much english helps a lot, especially with a whole english speaking line.
I agree, their simplicity is one of the reason they are popular
tbh I feel like there are few to no kpop groups who are actually not overhyped/praised, like kpop fans will hear one sustained note or see one flowy move and it's like they've never seen anything more impressive ( it joins your point about calling everyone "great" to the point it loses its meaning)
i personally love blackpink music because of their four vocal colors that imo match super well, and because I do not find their music repetitive in the slightest way, they have their own structure and they build something new around it everytime which I find super interesting. I don't CARE that Kill This Love has a repetitive chorus (that I enjoy) when the instrumental is that beautiful, the voices of the girls that well used and the overall concept of the song that meaningful.
I agree with you. Kpop fans both praise and hate too much
I literally just paraphrased everything you said …..i dont hear this repetitiveness people are talking about. I keep hearing thAt they are vocally weak …..but MOST GROUPS rely heavily on lip syncing and dancing …i think the real issue is they feel blackpink is for the western world and thats not the case.
I can admit that there are more talented idols than blackpink. Yeah simple vocals and choreos, but they know how to serve and deliver
I think my main criticism is that they don't take part in the making of their music (company's fault) so they end up doing things that they don't always connect with and you can feel it on stage.
I love their songs because they hyoe me up but compared to other groups that are more self produce I find it sad that they don't get to do that and I think its even more visible with this comeback (comeback that we waited for a long time). If the company allowed them to be more present in the making of their stuff the girls would enjoy it probably much more too
I personally love the way Blackpink appears as a group in terms of presence. I like their different styles and the way they balance each other out! That difference works IMO.
I like to think of Blackpink as a group of four very attractive models who just happen to come together and sing/dance every now and then 🫣
Lmao
I think The Answer to Why BLACKPINK is popular is very simple.. We don't need to question this!? -Antifans will always Criticize depending on their perceptions. Also when Thousands criticize while Millions keep on Enjoying We Should move with a Philosophical Principle Saying “MANY WINS"
-Ppl should understand that Popularity depend on how Much Receivers Enjoy your presence. Why do many Ppl enjoy BP? it's Because BP Skills are Always Perfect in Their Fans Eyes no matter What! There is nothing like who deserve better and who deserve Less Your Fate Will tell, But Sometimes We give Love unconditionally. There is nothing like perfect (Abilities/Skills) even the Skilled ppl have to work hard to be Perfect(Never Happened bcoz it's Human Nature “No one is Perfect")everyone has a weakness.
-Okay Let's talk a Serious Business now besides Kpop Idols there are Millions of people who Got all those skills mentioned as Criteria, but it's not meant to be Them.
- So Anti-Fans should Enjoy being Antis and put more Effort to Cheer up Their Favorites without Bashing other people.
-And Blinks Should Enjoy the Popularity of their Beloved BP and Prepare To cheer up for a CB keep on going Fighting!!! 💪💪
-Fellow Army maintain our Peace✌️
-~I just Hate How ppl like To point -ve on other people's abilities? Ain't ppl without Excellent abilities supposed to Enjoy the World?????? Stay Calm stop comparison we are Just Different.!
Looks at how Lisa's money and lalisa are successful songs despite being pure trash in every single way, if thats not proof that BP are too overhyped idk what is
And her new song too. I can’t fcking stand it
they are popular and famous because they got GD's resources in luxury industry.
For me atleast stage presence may be seem obvious to u but the groups u said are not better than them in stage presence
There were actually zero attempts at logical reasoning in that segment and no references to specific examples or principles of stage presence. It was literally just a string of standard hater opinions that ended with a bizarre statement that anyone who says that BP's stage presence is top tier is "inaccurate and ignorant". I was trying to give the video "essay" a fair and open-minded viewing. But there was just too much of that kind of irrational combination of unsubstantiated negative opinions followed by bizarrely negative conclusions to take it seriously. Some people tell me that this channel is not a hater channel. But it seems like the typical "I'm a fan, but...." formula that passive-aggressive haters use to just dump a bunch of irrational hate on a group and then slap a "constructive criticism" label on the pile of steaming doo doo as though the label magically will turn it into what the label says. Like sticking a "cheese sandwich" label on a pile of doo doo and then giving it to someone. "Here's a cheese sandwich. I know it smells bad, but look at the label! It says 'cheese sandwich'...enjoy!"
@@TEAM__POSEID0N Welcome to his channel lol, he has always been like this specially with vocal technique, he's one of the main reasons why this fake definition of "vocal technique" blow up and started ruining singers reputations like Rosé's for example.
Everything is true maybe he has a problem with them
@@moonlightespt3818 If anything, he's been always praising Rosé but you're the who would argue with everyone in comment section :)
@@AB-yk2pq Because he thinks she's superior than the other members in talent, Rosé is his favorite so it's logic that he would praising her all the time.
Nobody "deserves" to be liked or to be popular. It just happens naturally. Somehow the Black Pink members are more likeable than other group members on a subconscious level. Its similar to getting in love.
I can't believe people hate on Rose, she has such a beautiful voice
I disagree when it comes to stage presence, you can't judge stage presence based on television performances like inkyago since all idols act either cute, sexy or fierce. When it comes to stage presence its all about energy, connection to the crowd and being hype, and im sure they almost always showcase full stage presence on concerts and festival performances. Just look at their coachella performance how they were full of energy and how they were interacting with the crowd.
There was a 'scandal' of sorts a few years ago that Blackpink were giving lazy, lacklustre performances at their concerts on tour too. And TV performances are the place where most people will see them (who aren't dedicated fans already) and also are an expected, fundamental part of being a Kpop idol. Consistency of performance quality is very important. Honestly, I don't really put much of the blame on the girls but rather the ruthless company and limited of discography.
@@Elizabeth-kn4jh that was mostly directed towards jennie and jennie later explained that she had injured her ankle and couldn't dance very well
@@Elizabeth-kn4jh jennie has been exposed like 2 times of being "lazy". One time was because she wasn't feeling well on a concert so she had to leave the stage. The other time was a festival, it happened ONCE where she intentionally lacked energy on stage and she was called lazy for almost the rest of her career
coachella and their melon awards performance were the only time I actually liked and enjoyed their stage presence otherwise they are pretty mid and despite having only four members they always seem to be messy and out of sync when it comes to choreo💀💀 lisa and Rose are great tho
Blackpink has crazy good stage presence they have proved it on many concerts, and festivals. People criticize their stage presence by looking at music shows where they have to focus on perfecting the dance which does not help. The concerts, and festivals like Coachella prove that they have very good stage presence because they’re actually enjoying the stage.
They're good too on music shows
@Pooh_🤍🖤 girl blackpink doesn't need any camera work, even fancams are enough 🤣
Nothing is wrong with them but I do feel there is artificial hype involved.
People should criticise instead of adding unnecessary rage.
Their stage presence is insane, INDIVIDUALLY.
Lisa- masculine, overt, dominant
Jennie- feminine, overt, dominant
Rosé- feminine, overt, sensual
Jisoo- feminine, covert, sensual
But together they’re not as connected, since none of them tone it down.
fellow everglow-up fan?
I see, you have taste :))))
@@nuhuhuhhhhhhh Yes
@@aintnootherfan Yesss 😊🫡✨
@Whimsical🌧️ How did you learn to describe their stage presence like that?
I only wish yg stop treating them like some mysterious princesses n treat them more like an artists let them do their own thing
THIS
Actually this "mysterious princesses" aura adds points to their popularity and hype, because they seem to be so mysterious, people are always curious about them, and thus they can stay relevant even without much content. Some people may dislike it, but it's clearly working and it brings popularity and money
I agree! I hope that YG could let them comeback more with awesome songs🙃 It’s not the girls being overhyped at all, they strived for the very best even off cam and also expressed their hope of song creating 😭
I believe they became famous mostly because of their company. Let's face it, YG has some of the most successful and famous kpop groups and artists out there. Personally, I think their strengths are stage presence (individually), rap (if yg allowed them to showcase better rap and write their verses it'll be more prominent), and visuals. Starting off with dance since I'm a dancer myself, I personally think they do pale in comparison to other groups. Even the choreography given to them are mediocre and sometimes repetitive. Blinks also say Lisa is the best dancer in kpop or one of the best but I personally disagree. She isn't bad per se (she's good!), but in terms of technicality, technique and versatility, there are plenty of better dancers. Take for example: Hyoyeon, Momo, Seungyeon, Chungha. Vocals, I think they're individually all decent even good, it's just that their vocals don't particularly fit the concept of their group like Rose for example. Her voice seems to fit slower songs and her voice really shines with those. Music isn't really the members' fault either, mostly because their company doesn't give them enough comebacks and sticks to one genre.
and what yg group exacly is famous as blackpink?
@@niewiemniewiem8063 BigBang, 2NE1
@@BabyItsSunny I wouldn’t say they are as famous as Blackpink is on a global level, but when it comes to just Korea, I’d say those two were as famous if not more so than Blackpink.
@@jcp5302 yes they weren't very famous globally because they're both from 2nd gen kpop, but 2ne1 and bigbang's songs are recognized even on a global scale, they're really popular. but i agree, they were mostly known in korea.
@@jcp5302 if they debuted during this time they will definitely be as big or even bigger! don't forget the social media plays a huge part of BP success!!
Yall arent ready for the truth. Blackpink is OMEGA populat cause they are INCREDIBLY beautiful as an entire group. Literally all 4 are stunning beyond compare.
Dont believe me? Blackpink was popular BEFORE they even debuted..... Wut does that yell you? It wasnt he music or choreography that gave them the lead, it was their visual beauty.
I don't know how YG or Teddy is doing it but I think Teddy kept the best of the best of his bangers for BP. The girls are releasing the same formulaic bangers all these 6 years but it doesn't get old for the majority of the audience. There are few complaints from fans here and there but overall, fans/people still listen to it no matter how hateful they can be lol
Looking at the teasers and how it's titled as "Born Pink", I'm 90% sure that the sound is like their past EP's and The Album, the title track will have this big and huge beat drop again, no actual concept/storyline, the girls being fierce/edgy and it's a wrap lol
But fans will still eat it up. Undeniably, the girls are extremely charming and also talented but in the 6 years that they have, there were no room for the growth when it comes to musicality. What they were able to built is this signature of a distinct, massive sound that even if they keep on doing the same formula and sound, people still like it and it never gets old lmao
And to be honest, this feels like their last release as a group. Next year is their 7th year, time for the "7th year itch" as well as the expiration of their contracts. I'm not too hopeful that they will continue as a group.
they’re definitely overrated. I saw a video of them from their concert they were a MESS!
As a casual listener of them is like i dont "hate them " or anything but its weird to me , i wouldnt pay that much money to see them or to buy their albums or stuff .-.
Tbh I feel like bp just had the luck that they debuted when BTS made steps into the west, because whenever there is a popular Boygroup, there needs to be a somewhat popular "counter"-girlgroup. The (beautiful) bad-girl image was kinda new at that time and I think more easy to see for the west than typical kpop girlgroups. So they were just lucky to be at the right place the right time
Also the western industry tried so hard to find a second "One Direction" and a counter-gg, so it was pretty much a "in-your-face" move from fans, kinda like, we don’t want you to dictate what music we like 🤷🏼♀️ stage presence-wise bp are still better than what the average western gg could offer so far, the dancing was something the west hadn’t seen yet. And back then their choreography was still creative. It wasn’t dumb either to kinda make them influencers 🤷🏼♀️ the public loves to see rich people. It’s just sad they kinda forget the music on the way
BP is a before and after since 2019. They have so much wasted potential! They're talented, and it shows in their solo projects
It's pretty simple. The marketing strategy behind BP has made them the easiest and most desirable self-inserts in all of K-Pop. This is also doubled down by keeping their lives and offstage personalities mostly a mystery. For how everywhere Blackpink is, even hardcore fans know very little about their backgrounds or day to day lives. For BP, less is usually more. Some groups release a ton of content to make the idols more relatable to their fans, but BP works in reverse.
Agreed
Agree !
They are market as exclusive and expensive.
I disagree with a lot of points in this video. Idk what is collective stage presence. If you mean group dancing, then that's just performing not stage presence. Groups like Itzy, twice depend on their performance skills. But i promise you they do not have stage presence. Imo they have one of the best stage presence of 3rd gen and for me they are the best. very few kpop groups can hold the attention of a crowd outside Korea or in a place where ppl dont know their songs. Their songs are very intelligently produced idk how ppl hate their songs but go and like some of the most generic typical kpop songs with bland productions. That formula has long been forgotten since the album imo. And I love Rosie's voice so there's that. Dancing is okay but their choreos are eye catching and perfect for live performances. Simple enough for others to follow.
Blackpink gets too much criticism and hate and is held to standards I don't see anyone holding other groups to. It's literally music. Even Taylor is wildly hated and I think she's one of the best songwriters of our generation. Ppl want fame for underdogs and hate the famous dogs, its wild.
Yesss, finally someone said it
Well said. I listen to almost every girl groups and for me BlackPink really hits different. Their vocals might not be as good as RedVelvet, Aespa, Dreamcatcher or Twice but it's their vocal color and uniqueness that makes it work. YG trained them to be performers who can attract not just SK but Global Audiences.
I think this video missed extremelly important strong points of Blackpink. Lisa might not be the best vocalist in Kpop but there are many videos that prove she can sing well, Jisoo's voice has a unique personality.
Jennie's rap is worth mentioning and among korean females one of the bests and Lisa's rap is the most impressive part in every blackpink song is a climax everytime,and her style can be even fit in western productions, not the typical Kpop rap of girls talking fast,making mad face thinking that is rap but no flow.
Stage prescence, Twice has more? as a group maybe because they lack individual personality, in this case I think is Blackpink's strongest point, each member has it's own style and different personalities, Lisa's stage prescence is insane, luxury brands don' t choose them just for their beautiful faces only but because they can portray an image,sell it to you! And they have Lisa,the best dancer in Kpop.
I'm not a Kpop fan because everything seems kids music, many members you can't tell who is who, many groups than you don't realise you are looking at a different one, they all can be confused.
Blackpink, has personality, I don't need the best vocals, I rather go to Adele for that, I want to vibe and sing along and be surprised everytime and be able to tell who is who not a group of clones.
Same they have individual personality...like Lisa is tomboyish+shy at times which fits the concept. Same with Jennie she has a cold aura with those fierce cat eyes which also suits the concept + she is savage. Rosé fits the concept too she has this mixture of both cute and fierce + personality wise she is quite extroverted and many people might say that she seems cute but imo she seems like a person who knows what she wants and is also serious about it and last but not the least Jisoo..she is the most loved member imo cuz many people outside of fandom like her too..her and Lisa's personality balances the group in all together. Jisoo has this childish+ mature at times personality she isn't afraid of calling out people (which I totally like) so yeah. They all have unique personality and imo they have unique voices too specially Jisoo and Rosé.
And Also Jisoo's feminity balances the other dominant personality of the three. So if people don't like dominant girls then Jisoo is the one which would attract them.
💀Sorry idk much about those but I just wrote what I think
Yup, they don't like the fact that every BP members shines their own way. They expect them to perform like A GROUP OF CLONE where it's totally hard to recognize them individually. Well, anyone has their own taste and groove. Anyone should support whoever group they think suits their vibe. Maybe somehow it could make their faves reached BP's overrated popularity.
Same, not a kpop fan, but i really enjoy blackpink
Twice definitely have individuality and stage presence on stage, they just mesh better together because of practice and knowing each other’s strengths and weaknesses and how to cover that, meanwhile BP just looks like 4 people who were put together with a choreo in 3 weeks everytime because they don’t have nearly enough experience as a performing unit to compete, and 4th gen girl groups are proving that as well.
@@bbmomos Twice is the typical Asian group that we would just ignore in the west unless you are a kpoper or you like manga and Anime. Their members have their own personality? I doubt, they did one solo and Nayon solo sounds like any random song of her group,nothing unexpectrd just another twice song but only one of them singing making cute faces acting "cute".
The reason of popularity of musicians like blackpink is this stupid tik tok gen, I mean they call ah ah ah, whao whao melodious 🙂
The thing that is attracting people is their skinny expensive good dressed models aura
They make their comeback to make some horny asses burn from jealousy.
I'm really curious to see what Blackpink will do once their contracts deadline approaches.
I still to this day don't understand why YG didn't fully committed to Blackpink as musicians, like he did with 2NE1. Hopefully the same mistakes won't be made for the next generations of YG girl groups.
I think Jisoo will focus on acting or variety shows as well and I'm sure Rosé would try her solo career in singer -songwritter manner.
I think they will probably re-sign. The rumors about them leaving don't really make sense. They mostly come from fans who think the girls are "mistreated". They may be in some sense. But looking around at Kpop girl groups in general, it's hard to find many who are treated better by their companies than BP. BP has become so big at YG that they are basically in a status situation in the company similar to what Big Bang had when they were at their peak. (Actually, bigger if you go by global popularity metrics.)
The BP members are mainly performance artists. They seem to get quite a few opportunities to contribute creatively to the process, both in terms of actual performance crafting as well as some musical and lyrical content. YG has always been much less generous in giving music/lyrics credits to female artists. At YG, a female artist has to really do quite a bit to get formal credits. At some companies, I think they inflate the credits to a ridiculous degree. So much that an "artist" only has to sit in on a planning meeting and they will be included in the songwriting credits, even if they hardly contributed anything creatively in reality.
Despite what the critics say, BP is at the top of the game in an industry that ultimately is about popularity and fans. If they want to explore different approaches to music and performance independently and pursue solo careers, they may some day choose to do so. But I haven't seen any real-world indications that any of the BP members are unhappy about being at YG in any serious way. And if they do break up, all or most of them will probably not be as successful. YG isn't just song production. It's an entire complex support platform that covers everything from concert tour infrastructure, contracting, choreo support, music videos, brand endorsement marketing, fashion. Very few companies could reproduce anything like that for BP or individual members if they went off on their own. (But I would like for Lisa's hair to get a healthy break to recover. She looks beautiful. But the stylists seem to love playing around with her hair the most. lol)
YG is a shitty company when it comes to girl groups. I mean, we can't say they "committed" to 2NE1 regarding anything at all lmao. They used 2NE1 as they saw fit, and discarded them when they weren't "useful" anymore. CL had to FIGHT for I Am The Best to be released, cause YG didn't want her to be a songwriter, they just wanted her to be a puppet. Now they're doing the same to Blackpink, but instead of "performing puppets", YG wanted "model puppets" this time. He said it himself, he wanted to make a new 2NE1, but with "pretty girls" instead. As long as they stay in YG they'll have no creative freedom whatsoever. I really hope they leave cause they have too much potential to be treated as replaceable idol models.
@@malicechalice What I meant was that 2NE1 did get a lot more comebacks compared to BP and they really were known as musician, while BP has the reputation of being influencers. The "commitment" refers only to that.
@@saravanoppen8372 That is what I have noticed.Bp has less discography than their predecessors despite being more popular.I know that idols also do things outside of group activities such as acting,modeling,or endorsements,but blackpink is more active in those things than group comebacks.I am not giving my hopes up for this new comeback but I am still unsure if they are going to have a full on comeback.
Are they the best ? No.
Do I love them ? Yes.
Do I follow any other kpop group but them ? No.
Blackpink is just like any other gg, they're honestly so overrated
It seems to me that one can't say Blackpink don't deserve their success, after all the market decides such things. I will say their success is not proportional to the quality of their music. I don't blame the members for this, I blame the producers. The instrumentals are uninspired, simplistic, and repetitive, even between songs. The vocals, especially lately, focus too heavily on Jennie/Lisa. They have relegated the talent that is Rose, and the awesome/ unique tone of Jisoo's voice, to the prechorus/sections of the bridge. Where rap sections in much of kpop serve as a nice counter/change up to the rest of the song, in BP songs these days, they are dominant, and are far less impactful as a result. To put this in perspective, Blackpink was the first kpop group I listened to, they launched me down the rabbit hole, but none of their music has grabbed me since "Forever Young." Add to this the fact they don't produce much music, and I lost interest. Groups like Dreamcatcher, Pixy, and Twice(my three personal favorites) have been working their butts off recording and promoting album after album, while Blackpink takes 2 year breaks to make mediocre music. In that regard, Blackpinks fame and fortune seems remarkably unjust. Anyway, just my two cents.
Blackpink has charisma,grace,swag,perfect rap,acceptable vocals,catchy songs,great stage presence,great lyrics and diversity
Definitely these factors are not basic so you can’t say Blackpink has become famous for nothing.you might find Blackpink attractive you also might find them unattractive,it’s up to you
You all can hate but among kpop ggs only blackpink can attract general public .That is why they are still popular without comeback.Also they have strong rap duo(Jenlisa)/good stage presence and best female dancer (She is always viral for her dance).
Plus each member has it factor and expensive aura.You can put blackpink and other ggs in one room their auras can stand out
stage presence mediocre??? wtf have you seen their coachella performance u got to be kidding me
He didnt lie their stage presence is mediocre. They only have good stage presence when they want too and Coachella is one example of that. Their recent tour is a big example of their mediocre stage presence and laziness
I think their too popular for what they have.
They're more models that occasionally sing lazy produced songs rather than idols that spent years undergoing intense training. Most idols have continued training after they debut to further develop skills. Based on the growth, it seems like that probably stopped after the first 2 years.
BP is a group that had SO much potential as idols. They fit well together, they have good chemistry, they have a natural stage presence, their voices have great colors. Imagine if they had continued to be promoted as idols and artists, image where they would be if they had the freedom to make their own music. They'd have more than 1 world tour in 7 years. They'd have a full length album by now. They'd have one comeback a year. They'd have more songs than a rookie group. They'd have the tools available to improve where they do lack.
Their management is the same that has caused groups to fail in the past, it's amazing that they haven't. The "quality over quantity" bullshit saved it.
Agree. Their released songs are even less than 4 th gen groups. Blink always have excuse by using Teddy word "we only release the songs we think it's high quality enough" which quite rude to other groups beacause their songs are high quality too.

What I dont like about Blackpink are the stans, that overhype, gobble and praise everything BP/YG puts out ( even tho its the bare minimum like a comeback after +2yrs.) and also dont accept any other opinion or criticism
"Is the criticism fair?"
No, it's not. Not by a long shot.
But that's the thing; the volume of criticism Black Pink (and BTS, by extension) gets is due to the kind of hype that they get. Put simply, the more people know you, the more people have something to say about you. And I can understand why that bothers Blinks (no one likes their faves being talked about in the way people talk about Black Pink), but uh...
That's the price of fame, dolls.
Black Pink have an elevate profile, so people are going to expect more out of them. And y'all can call it jealousy and bitterness all you want, but it's only natural that people expect those girls to prove that they deserve that elevated profile. Black Pink are no worse than any of their contemporaries (as far as girl groups go, we can certainly do worse), but that's part of the problem; they're pretty damn average. Black Pink haven't released anything that would warrant putting them at the top of the pops.
Which is a fucking shame because there's something there. With proper management and a team that actually gave a fuck (starting with a producer whose music doesn't sound like it belongs in 2015; whoever green lit Ready To Love to be released needs to be fired... from a canon), Black Pink could actually be the group that many of us want them to be. They have everything they need to prove that they deserve* their place in K-Pop.
*I know someone is going to bristle at me using this word here, but if you were to strip Black Pink of their Big 3 status, they would not have the popularity that they do. That's not a drag; that's an observation. Black Pink are where they are because YG poured an obscene amount of money into pushing them to where they are. Ain't nothin' wrong with that (if you got it, flaunt it), but I'mma call a spade a spade.
Speak on it.If an artist/group get extremely famous there is going to be people expecting what the hype is about.Blackpink absolutely has potential but even as mainstream group there going to be criticisms left and right whether positive or negative and fans of any artist or group have to accept that.Blackpink have the IT factor but do need improvement too.
it's bcz of their delulu stans. blackpink is known for their toxic solo stans
lisa stans- 'lisa is the best kpop dancer' 😆
jennie stans- 'jennie is the best kpop rapper'
rosé- 'best vocalist of kpop'
jisoo- the players of victim card, and 'jisoo is the most beautiful idol in kpop'
sometimes i think from where blackpink got their stans. their delusional and toxicity level is out of this world
BlackPink have one of the Uniq Voices...Every member have very Diff style of Vocal... That's why I like them is Easier for me to tell which one which and They do have Stage P When Doing Live Performance And their Acting skills I mean Facials expression is Top tier(For me) even In MV...This is my Opinion why they're Famous
Also the music production itself is top notch. Yes teddy does use a formula for their songs but the music goes so hard
@@judas7585 going hard doesn't equal great quality all the time
@@guntherstewart8941 well not all quality songs put cash on the table, and that's what yg wants...
It’s funny to me how the only people that criticize blackpink and say they’re overrated are the people who have zero natural talent and sit on their ass all day on TH-cam while the actual vocal coaches who are professionals all agree that blackpink are excellent vocalists 💀💀 just a tad bit funny
What professionals agree they're excellent vocalists? Unless they were scared to say the truth. Yes, they do have great voice colours but besides Rosé who can support notes no one in Blackpink does, therefore they're not vocalists, just singers.
Edit: Just to make clear, their positions are vocalists and they're more than okay vocalists for Blackpink but they are really really far away from being "excellent" by any.
Why are you calling people talent less mind you own business and don't act like a bp lawyer yg getting more money in less loss for making mv
Delivering satisfying song is their job,that's why we sit and watch them because we want to be entertained,if we aren't satisfied do have no chance to disagree??
I agree with everything you said, except for the part they sing mostly live, they USED to sing a lot live, even the clips u used were old, also mr removed do not detect prerecorded vocals, but it’s pretty obvious it’s lipped since all their stages sound the same. If I’m not wrong none of the HYLT and LSG performances at music shows are live
I absolutely agree. They've rarely sung live since 2020 but it's not like they had too much material in first place.
No weren't they use pre recorded too in their debut era? Blackpink is only always singing live in award shows, concerts, and other big events. But they don't attend award shows anymore so..
I think no other group faces the amount of criticism that blackpink does, and not always in a constructive way... the groups is full of talent, all members are soloist material, why are people doubting about their skills?
My only problem with blackpink is actually the music, which isn't bad, but having less than 30 songs doesn't help, and the fact that a lot of them are done with the same formula makes their music kinda boring, which is the reason why I don't listen to their music as much as I used to
I think they should fire Teddy cause I know there's a lot of producers dying for working with blackpink, but I know that's not gonna happen lol
Anyway, Blackpink in our area, THE QUEENS ARE COMING BACK
I agree , like it's crazy that almost every 4th gen group has more songs than a 6 year old group
There are groups like Aespa and Bts that faces just as much criticism as blackpink but pretty sure you rarely noticed
@@queen_zendaya true lmao, some blinks just don’t notice💀
Their skills are doubted because in the 7 years they been out not to mention with the couple years of training they had predebut they have barely grown in comparison to those around them
Mamamoo isn't in the same place vocally or talent wise as they were 7 years ago
Blackpink shouldn't be either
All of these other girl groups have shown tremendous growth over the years in terms of looks discography and talent
Blackpinks discography has barely grown in comparison to their peers they have talents but they haven't been expanded on
Their looks have grown a bit but not in the same way others have
They receive criticism because they have this much popularity but they have nothing to show or even remotely justify why and they're being praised by people as if they're the hottest thing since sliced bread
@@brandoncole5533 I agree. The criticism they recieve is well deserved. I can't believe the are the world's biggest girl group but their stage presence and skills are seriously lacking.
You know what the problem is? Lack of discography+lack of members' interest besides Rosé's.
I'll use examples of groups I'm fairly familiar with.
Twice- for example has 3mix (Jihyo, Jeongyeon and Nayeon) for vocals. The rest of the members improved or stayed the same but they're functional. Twice has really good dancers but I'd say only 4 members are actual consistent preformers however Twice as 9 work on stage. But it's important to notice that Twice also have 2-3 comebacks per year and that they also have over 40 songs that members written. Their music has involved over time, getting more personal as well.
Red Velvet has Wendy and Seulgi as good vocalists, decent dancers and I know people question their stage presence a lot but still Red Velvet still has a lot diverse discography which keeps people interested in them. And they mostly have regular comebacks.
Itzy has weak vocalists, but great dancers with good stage presence and complex choreography. Even if people aren't big fan of their songs, it's always good to see them preform. And they also similar to their seniors have multiple comebacks during year.
Aespa has pretty balanced vocals, alright dance line and even if they get hate for stage presence which is subjective they're still showing some kind of uniqueness in Kpop with their SMU.
Blackpink rarely comebacks, if they do they mostly relay on company's producers and songwriters, their choreographies aren't as complex and they don't seem to improve between comebacks. Yeah, Jisoo has shown improvements in dance so did Rosé in vocals but they still feel as rookies who haven't involved as an artists, preformers or singers even after 6 years.
Even during long breaks, Rosé is the only one who releases covers with Lisa occasionally giving dance practices. It just seems like they aren't too passionate about their idol life and the audience can feel it. Especially because there are groups that are giving more content for free, improving more drastically or who brings more diversity.
out of the groups you mentioned, only TWICE and BP had been credited on their works. (As far as I know).
The difference of the two is mainly the amount of comebacks.
BP, always get hate for the amount of their comeback which it doesn't make any sense. YGE is the one to be blame or hate. However, it surely part of their marketing and branding and BP. Which what makes BP today.
If you can't stand how YGE and Blackpink works, just leave the fandom, skip their music, and leave the girls alone.
@@sleepyhead9472 Even Giselle from Aespa already has writings credits for her raps and she's mentioned it she's constantly writing songs so more will eventually get released.
Okay, YGE is not giving them comebacks. Is that stoping members from releasing covers on their personal channels, Instagram, Vlive...? Absolutely not. And as I mentioned, during this long hiatuses only Rosé was the only posting covers and Lisa was occasionally posting dance practices.
Is lack of comebacks stopping them from improving their skills? Lia from Itzy is improving her dancing a lot in even though Itzy's choreographies are demanding while her group has good amount of comebacks, Wendy improved her vocals even though she was good already and so on. Minzy from 2NE1 had vocal training outside of YGE and she became the best vocalist of her group, while some members of Blackpink faced vocal regression which means they rarely sing between comebacks.
I don't hate girls, I like majority of their songs and they're sweet and I wish they'll be able to debunk every single thing I've said this comeback.
But Blinks need to stop blaming everything on YGE as girls aren't adults that are in industry for years. And yes, Blinks need to stop taking everything as hate and not as discussion and criticism. Like telling people to "skip their music* will change anything.
@@AB-yk2pq The girls themselves been constantly saying that they participate on their works. According to them, they don't just sit and wait for a complete song.
Yes, Rosé seems the member that has the most interest in music (based on her covers etc.)
During their hiatus (even they aren't completely gone), Jisoo constantly greet at the end or beginning of the month in Weverse. Jennie releases vlogs. Same goes to Lisa. 3 of them has their own YT channel. There, they do fan service.
Are you implying that BP members didn't improve through the years?
Jisoo improved her dancing skills. Rosé improved her vocal color or sound. Just listen to their new songs up until her solo debut. Lisa having more vocal lines. Proving that she can sing. (I don't even know what needs to improve). Jennie, not the lazy dancer y'all saying (the narrative).
@@sleepyhead9472 Yeah, that's great but still you can feel their producers/songwriters work instead of members' personalities in majority of cases.
And I'm not saying they aren't doing anything, I'm sure they give suggestions and help with Korean-English lyrics but still there's lack of them in their music.
Hopefully this new album will show more of their artist side since Rosé and Jennie co-wrote one song.
Being on Weverse or sharing vlogs once in while is bare minimum idols are doing. Take at look at how much covers and vlogs rookie groups give such as NMIXX or I'VE for free.
There's objectively a lot to improve in vocal aspects considering Rosé is the only one who supports notes. Lisa could always sing like that, but it depends on songs whatever she has rap or vocal lines. Believe me, I know their whole discography.
Jennie isn't a lazy dancer (and I've never called her one) but her dancing skills are the same as they used to be, not saying they were ever bad but there's simply no changes.
Jisoo has shown improvements in dance but even she was going though vocal regression but hopefully she's improved this comeback.
If you are asking me "what needs to be improved" then I guess you really don't know much about vocals specifically or you haven't seen how much other idols improved over time. Blackpink is 6 years old, not 2.
@@AB-yk2pq did all idols got to Mamamoo and Red Velvet's vocal levels throughout their careers?
BP is not the best vocally but they aren't terrible. If they improved as a group like hitting high notes while doing back flips, then good for them. If not, it's also fine.
when i was 12 yrs old my friend told me about blackpink (before i was army)she was a blink and i was like ok and i heard their songs at first there songs were good and then i came to know about other girls groups and i realized that other songs are even more catchy and better than why bp are more famous .
The lack of good, consistent music is why I think they're incredibly overhyped. They disappear for several months (which could be career ending for other groups) to give a song of a familiar formula. It's hard to take them seriously. Yes, that's obviously yg's fault, but that affects my experience with the group.
Its hard to take groups like twice seriously which music for toddlers
@@judas7585 that's ironic considering how immature you're being insulting another group when I'm simply adding to the discussion of the question posed in the title. Lol
@@judas7585 also it's ironic how your profile literally says "spread positivity"
Well, it’s not our fault people don’t like your gg
Stop saying they are overhyped because your group doesn’t attract people
Stop saying it is hard to take them seriously because your group cannot have a bigger fandom
@@judas7585 😂😂.
The term “overhyped” doesn’t make any sense, people really thinks that they need to do whistle notes while giving backflips to justify their million of sales and streams?💀 people are so obsessed worn blackpink popularity bc they want that for their faves, but if your faves can’t get attention from public it’s their fault, not blackpink fault, stop it
@@Oliver-uz1fs But them being more talented than other groups is not a popular opinion, so you can't say that's why they're "overhyped". And that opinion is simply not true and I don't think many people think like that. They're not TERRIBLE as you may think some people make it out to be, and if they are more popular than some other groups there has to be a real reason. If you don't know them or haven't been following them closely, then your mind instantly goes to them not being the most talented group out there (which IS true) so that's why you think they're overhyped, but I think the topic is a lot bigger than just their talents.
these blinks in the comments- embarrassing-
They use same tune for all songs 🙄
Rose and Lisa are the ones who stood out for me among the four. The other two blends in for me with other female idols.
Chemistry is like love. It is either there, or not. Someone wished Blackpink to disband because they love the group, so the girls can be freed from YG and reach their full potential. There might be something there. I also must agree with some comments which suggest that their fans is their weakest point.
Maybe because of the hair color??
@@Zipzeboo Noooo
I agree with everything but not completely. They're not far off from other groups in my opinion. Worst in some categories than others and better in some categories than others.
I think BP has some of the best stage presence in kpop/in (young/new) artists overall. Individually and together. They know their music, feel their music, and deliver it exactly how it's meant to be delivered. When Jennie says she's a boss bitch, I believe her. When Jisoo says they roll the carpet out for her, I believe her. When Lisa says she runs the game in high heels, I believe her. And Rose can say anything with that voice and I'd believe her. Some of the best group chemistry in the music industry period (imo).
Rose isn't the best vocalist, but I think she is a good one who has steadily been getting better. I would hope that she (and the others) have been taking their long time off the better their skills even more. She does their songs justice and I haven't really seen her slip yet. She consistent and has even shown a little versatility (imo). She's also a great dancer with an infectious personality. Very talented even if she still has room for improvement.
Lisa is a very good dancer (imo). I feel like she can hold her own next to Momo, Seulgi, and Chungha (this doesn't mean I think she's better than them). She has shown some versatility. She clearly knows her body well and is captivating on stage. To say she's a sub vocalist, she can surely hold a tune. She's a great rapper as well (consistent delivery, great story telling, energy on 100, etc). Some of the strongest stage presence in kpop overall (but not the best).
Jennie is a great lead vocalist. I like what she does with her voice (especially in songs like love to hate me and you never know). I think she should work with a vocal coach to get to know her voice more, though. She has potential to be even better. Her rapping is amazing (one of the best live rappers in kpop imo). I wish for her to write her own in the future (I feel like she has a lot to say). I like her dancing, but it can be inconsistent sometimes (never jarring tho). I give her a pass because she's so good at everything else and she's mentioned having a weak body, ankle injuries and stuff (but she can still improve).
Jisoo is a decent lead vocalist, a great one within her group. She has also yet to slip up. Consistent live and reliable. She has a great tone that is so beautiful when it contrasts the other members' voices (like Minnie from Gidle). Her voice is always pleasant to listen to and she sings well (but, like Jennie, I hope she finds a good vocal coach to work with individually to better understand and improve her voice). Still a mediocre dancer, but she has gotten so good over the years (I can tell she's been putting in the work to get better) that I don't even care. When on stage, her dancing rarely sticks out badly. She keeps up. Her stage presence is great and versatile.
Literally if we make rose covers playlist it will be bigger than bp actuall songs 😭😭
For me the reason why blackpink are popular is because 1 they are only 4 and easy to identify as every one of them is different from the other unlike other girl groups consisting of 8+ members stacked into a fking 3 min track 2 three of them are fluent in english which means a wider appeal. 3 Jisoo has a unique voice even though she's a weak vocalist. 4 Lisa is a stage beast.
I remember seeing a video of someone saying blackpink always lip sync. Which is a complete lie and I’m glad this video points out that they do sing live.
The thing that bothers me with blackpink is that they have a LOT of time to improve unlike other idols who have many, many more schedules compared to them but they just don't. Aside from the fact that rosé improved on her vocals, I don't see anything else from the others. If anything, there's more regression than improvement. Also the fact that blinks have made it a habit to overpraise them for their frankly sub-par skills also irks people
That's why Rosé will have the longest solo career no matter what people said. Cause she is actually passionate and even though she's not the perfect vocalist or dancer, she's balanced and well aware of her abilities. I can't say same about the rest of the group.
I think they should go to a singing course lol. They obviously have talents in singing but they rely solely on their born gifted talents like they never learn the best way to sing
Well jennie improved in singing too
Let's say that what you say is true is that they were absent for less than two years. Many girl bands have emerged, but they have not diminished their popularity even a little bit. On the contrary, even if they have this popularity, of this company increases, all this is due to Black Pink because they were absent fans want to fill the vacuum with other bands or at least find an alternative.
I watch other teams like Dreamcatcher, aspa, or any Korean band that always show up, there's something missing.
nothing
It can fill the vacuum left by the girls and I saw there were some comments being a band from a big company HH, the agency sm and jyp especially sm have many teams girls with good voices but something is missing from them like the red velvet band Despite the beautiful sounds, there is no chemistry among the members also the vocies icant remmber who is who even Twice, and even if we talk to the boys bts as well, not the best band.
They also came from a small agency at the end of the day. It doesn't matter the idol is talented or not, or a he come from big company or not. Everything is about music if it touches your heart or not and yg knows how to make muisic if like it or not the swag they have the present on the stage many group does not have that.
They can't accept the fact that their faves who they think are more talented can't get such insane amount of hype. BP's popularity shows how their music touched many hearts. Nobody can force anyone if their hearts don't want it, right? No matter how talented other groups are if they failed to move hearts then sorry, that's how it goes.

BlackPink is popular due to amazing marketing and their likeness to 2NE1. BlackPink debut shortly after 2NE1 disbanded and people hyped them up as 2NE1's replacement.
If BlackPink was not marketed as a 2NE1 replacement and did not debut after 2NE1's disbanding then no one would really be paying attention to them tbh.
The ladies are gorgeous, but their dancing is subpar and music is bland. Blink's toxicity, Rosé's vocals, Lisa's main character energy along Jennie's beautiful face and love life scandals are carrying the group tbh
I really don't know wtf happened to me back in 2016, Like I always think that there's a lot of talented girls out there as well, but this bvtches suddenly grabbed my attention and Idk why, I was just listening to wonder girls, girl's day, and 9Muses, then it was when they released Boombayah- and that's when it all started.
BlackPink have one of the Uniq Voices...Every member have very Diff style of Vocal... That's why I like them is Easier for me to tell which one which
