Im with Nick, this week has been a bruiser, both kids had all their final school work due this week, plus my own work work. It was well-staged, with fun use of props that gave a lighter-than-expected vibe to a stage I assumed would be nothing more than puffed-up chests and general badassery. Its unknown if Mingi will join the rest of the group in Kingdom due to him being on a temporary hiatus. Like yeah you are powerful and impactful, but in the same way of precious stages. Incorporating hip hop gentlemen was also dope which reminded fans that YGe swag aint dead yet. I also think the choreography was a bit more nuanced than many of the groups, and the special effects were used really well. Its a much-needed break, though anything thats filmed for Kingdom cant really be considered a break. Still, the guys seem to have fun especially the arcade team. The behind-the-scenes video is made even better when Changmin pays the guys a visit. Take Me Home wouldnt count as an original song for this round since its already been released. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. 1.

Apart from Seungmin, they havent shown the kind of range Id hoped for. And now because their is no audience, we rely on stuns, horrible lip-syncing, and visuals to get through it. Its all about playing with momentum and energy in performances like this. BTOB was good, but I also wanted them to lean into the choir arrangement more. On April 15, the new idol competition showwhich is the male version of the hit 2019 program Queendomaired the second half of its thrilling first round.

I hated how the voting was traded strictly between the groups for a few of the rounds last year. Ateez was amazing, but I think they were way too serious. I loved their classic sense of showmanship. This was an odd performance because it used a lot of pre-recorded video for transitions. And now, the prospect of staying Up All Night to chroniclethis three hour swagger-a-thon will see my usual grasp of the English language devolve into incomprehensible eieios and illa illas. Everyone was shocked when SF9 is the only group that did not receive any votes from BTOB, iKON, The Boyz, Stray Kids and ATEEZ. Does it mean something?

Its suddenly all over idol variety. They got to try new things and cant rely too much on stunts. Personally, I feel like girl groups wind up being a bit more pigeonholed to their sounds and concept, so Queendom was a fantastic way of seeing them tackle something new, adapt another song to their own style, or showing off the talents of individual members that rarely get that opportunity in their own comebacks. I always enjoyed they never lipsyncd his parts but rather Hongjoon interpreted those moments his own way. I think it would be good to change things up for at least one episode.
