NMIXX Fe3O4: BREAK Album Review

Erm.

Okay. It's a REAL damn shame that the THREEEEEE (too many and different may i add) video singles were the "best" in terms of production/identity and the rest of the album was super disappointing/forgettable/generic and just soo random.

There's a lot going wrong with NMIXX and the biggest issue as someone mentioned on discord is that they're about to get to their 2nd year anniversary and they are yet to establish a sound/image/persona which is wild. Besides being militant and ...

My First MAMA Mate ft BOYNEXTDOOR, &TEAM and ZB1

This was recommending to me and I'm soo glad I watched it. 

I LOVE evil Wonbin, he's super likeable, comfortable and easy going which makes me wanna check out more of &team's variety content. EJ is so damn pretty my god! 

Jaehyun is also VERY precious and funny. It's amazing having idols interact like this because we just don't see it. 

The first half was a bit of a none factor but I LOVED the second half! 

Enjoy! 

SEVENTEEN NANA Tour Ep 1

I know I say this everytime but Seventeen's chemistry and bond as 13 INDIVIDUALS will FOREVER blow my mind and is something I love more than their music 9/10 times. 

Like I said in the video, if a group like SVT was made now, they're be carbon copies of each other from the distance and look exactly the same with black hair. Thank GOD for the variety we got in 3rd gen groups cos they really grow into such exciting individuals. 

Such a shame Coups couldn't come along man, ...

RIIZE - Love 119 (Mv & Perf vid)

This was blocked from the U.S and like everywhere else sooo here it is for free!

Enjoy!

Kep1er - Magic Hour Album Review

GWWWOOOOORLLLLL I have no idea why ya'll kept hounding me to check this out lol. 

I'm glad I discovered The Door however the rest showed me exactly WHY I've been avoiding Kep1er all this time. 

It's a shame how they're managed cos honestly The Door would've been a strong title track unlike that forgettable generic rubbish that's Galileo. 

Xiaoting's voice though? WOW I'm looking forward to seeing what she does after this. Hikaru's dancing is also impressive as...

Taeyeon - Melt Away Recording

THIS WAS SO FUCKING GOOD

It really makes me wish she'd give us a live album cos you really get to hear her technique and how connected her voice is which helps her reach those higher belted notes. 

Loved this! 

Taeyeon - GirlsSpkOut Album Review

YAY! An album I wasn't aware of lol. 

It's not a favourite for sure but there's still moments I like in the songs that I can see myself revisiting for sure. 

Enjoy!

ITZY wtf happened?? Comeback Catch up - Bet On Me, None of my Business, Cake, Born To Be, Mr Vampire!

I FINALLY did it. 

And I can see why I wasn't eager to do so. 

JYP is mis managing this group in such a stellar wise. Identity wise and sonically it's all an inconsistent mess. I think if he gave ITZY a LONG 18 month plus hiatus so they can be missed and come back with a stronger identity/video quality it would really benefit them 

I actually preferred Bet on me and none of my business more than any of their recent works. 

I do think they could be s...

XDINARY HEROES - Immortal Songs, Love Me Right & More

MY BABIES!! 

Did you think I'd forgotten?!?! This gave me everything I needed and MORE. 

Can't wait to dive into their content, I PROMISE, I will get into them properly. That love me right cover was PHENOMENAL. 

I WISH some of their music took that arrangement style cos BABY!! 

Enjoy! 

ZBTV Episode 6

CHEMISTRY galore! Also Gunwook SHINED in this episode, I LOVE that in their dynamic, though he's nearly the maknae, he's very much a dominant personality and the other members just fit in their roles so well.

This was super fun! 

Can't wait to watch the following episodes! 

RIIZE - Rise & Realise ep 6 & 7

OOPS, I rewatched ep 6 again mostly loool but episode 7 was fun! 

Looking forward to more of their recording episodes. 

SEUNGHAN I'M STILL WAITING FOR YOU!!! 

Enjoy! 

SBS Gayo Performances (NCT,NEWJEANS,Aespa, RIIZE, ZB1,Shinee)

Picked performances at random of course.

Very SM Heavy once again OOPS! 

I expected MUCH better, this was not a great stage for these artists at all. So much WOW factor missing although Aespa and newjeans at times had a lot of that in the general feel of the performance. 

Enjoy! 

Streetman Fighter EP 3

HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Before I travelled again I wanted to film at least ONE new episode and the lighting is AWFUL hence my look quality video, it's giving 480p HOWEVER I LOVED THIS EPISODE SO MUCH. 

So many entertaining moments it's CRAZY. I Had gooosebumps with some of those videos. 

I'm soo glad I gave this show a chance, I'm in DEEP now. 

Enjoy! 

My Top 15 Worst Releases of 2023

Babyy SM EXCELLED on this list this year LOOOL. 

As pink blooded as I am, I'm not biast! I doubt they'll be any surprises here. Also most these aren't particularly "BAD" songs, mostly underwhelming. But some are objectively boring, uninspired and overly simple which to me makes a bad song lol. 

What are you least favourite releases of 2023? 

Taeyeon To. X Behind Recordings

Taeyeon's voice is a TREASURE

My love for her is bounds above any idol honestly lol. I've not been as obsessed with a persons singing voice like this since I first fell for Mariah Carey or Brandy. 

The nightmare recording was especially my favourite. 

I DID film To.X whilst I was in Zimbabwe but honestly the filming conditions and interuptions were kinda annoying so I didn't edit it but don't worry you're not missing out on much. 

Enjoy! 

Dino Mujin Service!

MY little BUBBA! 

Kudos to him for doing something like this! It's interesting being able to observe his technique more acutely and I do try to express where I'd love him to improve although that song he sang a snippet of sounded GREAT!

Enjoy! 

TVXQ Killing Voice Reaction!

I decided to make this a Patreon exclusive cos chiiiiileee that setlist was a HARD miss for me. 

SOOO many moments they missed that I would've LOVED to see because they have so many "velvet" moments lool. 

Would've LOVED Hey Girl, Smoky Heart & Before U go, Whatever they say or something but nope they picked pretty much everything I don't enjoy musically lol. 

I'm super hesitant to do a discography discovery now unless there's some albums that lean less on...

Belle Mujin Service!

YES YES YES!! 

She cooked and actually surprised me A LOT. I was expecting a lot of upper belting but instead she showcased a lot of nuance and richness that I did not hear much off when listening to Kiss of life's music! 

Very much looking forward to the groups growth because they tick ALL the right boxes. 

ATEEZ(에이티즈) Behind the WILL Part.1

I should've watched the dance practice first, OOPS, but I enjoyed it overall. 

Hope they do more behind recordings for sure. 

Enjoy! 

Stray Kids 2 Kids EP 1-4 Performance Analysis!

I'm really glad they do this because I ALWAYS want more vocal moments from them because they're GROSSLY underrated as singers. 

I'm also glad they picked the songs they did because they're not the usual ones you hear from them. 

I.N and Hyunjin surprised me the most! 

Enjoy! 

Red Velvet Feel My Rhythm & Birthday Album Reviews

YESS!! 

It's a shame I knew a lot of these songs already but these are two great albums. It never really dawned on my how heavily velvet the Birthday album was considering birthday sounds more poppy to me, 

I'm going to do the japanese albums yet cos i'm not ready to say bye to Red Velvet, it's been super fun doing all this. 

If someone is able to screen record some highlights for me for ALL the album reactions that would be AMAZING because I'd love to make a ...

TAEMIN Metamorph Review!

Man this is NOT the caption I wanted to write but, here we go. 

First and foremost, he looks GODLY, MY GOD. He's truly become a man and I'm loving seeing his body confidence, I'm sure he's proud of the hard work it took to get there. Those dance breaks and new arrangments for a couple of songs like criminal were STELLAR and exactly what I look for in a concert, HOWEVER.

The lack of live vocals which is about 90% of the time did not make for a stimulating concert for me especi...

KBS Special Stages - ZB1, AESPA, RIIZE & TXT

I wanted to check these out cos of Tiktok. 

Wonbin doing hot & cold is like my favourite thing EVER. HE'S SO CUUUUUTEE and his voice suited is so well and Shotaro was A SURPRISE! That depth?? Winter also SOARED. 

ZB1 Was disappointing with growl but the other songs were fine. 

Yeonjun is NEVRR Beating the IT boy allegations. 

Enjoyy! 

XG Xtra Xtra EP 4

Getting close to our final line up!! 

Simon really has his cute moments my GOD!! And that peach, GOT DAMN,

Enjoy!

XG Xtra Xtra Ep 3

FINALLY!! I remembered this existed lol, soo much stuff you end up losing track! 

Enjoy! 

Taeyeon Live Clips!

Not the live clip making me like fabulous a little bit more kjzdgksUG 

I wish she went on mujin service, honestly we deserve it. 

Enjoy! 

Red Velvet Birthday Behind

This was the best one yet for sure! 

Everyone brought their A-game and honestly I just felt like i have to revisit this song to catch all these little vocal moments I may have missed, they put so much work in to it!! 

Enjoy! 

ZBTV Ep 4 & 5

I LOVE these guys so much man. 

The mini games and mini mini games were just fantastic and you lot know I LOVE me a mafia game so this is a great starting point. 

Looking forward to the next couple episodes! 

Enjoyy! 

Street Man Fighter EP 2!

This took a minute to pick up cos I definitely have a bit of battle fatigue since I don't appreciate the nuances of WHAT great skill in that field looks like, similarly as to why I wouldn't watch a rap competition show, HOWEVER Once the crew battles started I DEFINITELY started enjoying myself more and more! 

I AM NOW In LOVE with J Ho too as a dancer. MY GOD he DEMOLISHED that choreo with such flair! The challenges are also much more up my street and I'm  very excited for epi...

Street Man Fighter Ep1

FINALLY.

The day has arrived. Brand new content exclusive to the Mt Olympus Tier. 

SOO many interesting characters here and I think I'm in love with Trix the MOST. As much as they're playing up the villainous comments for entertainment, I would love to see some more camaraderie which I'm sure will come, or at least I'm hoping. 

Kang Daniel is the perfect host, his energy was infectious. 

Can't wait to watch the other episodes! Looking forward to reading ...
