Thoughts on BOYS PLANET Episode Seven

I wasn’t going to recap Boys Planet (and technically, I’m nonetheless not doing it), however I’m watching the sequence and thought others would possibly admire a spot to debate it. So, every week I plan on dumping a couple of of my random ideas in regards to the present. Once more, this won’t be a full, detailed recap. However, when you’ve got one thing you wish to point out be sure that to incorporate it within the feedback!

This spherical continues this week. Final time, my rating was:

4. Gang
3. House
2. Love Killer
1. Zoom

I’m undecided I’ll have the ability to immediately examine this week’s performances with these 4 since they’re not contemporary in my thoughts, however I’m trying ahead to what’s in retailer.

I’m a bit ashamed to say I’d by no means heard the unique model of this monitor. That’s fairly exceptional in terms of exhibits like this, so kudos to the producers for swerving away from expectations.

I believed this was actually good throughout the choruses, however the rapping felt just a little off beat to me. Additionally, the judges’ reactions had been WAY excessive, which actually took away from the efficiency. The dancing was sturdy, although!

First off, I’m biased as hell and that is certainly one of my favourite Ok-pop songs ever. It’s cool that they introduced in a reside band for the instrumental and it was in all probability sensible to not add choreography.

I believed this was a wonderfully high quality rendition. The standout was positively Tae Rae, who sounded probably the most assured. The group didn’t actually deliver something further to the efficiency, however the climax was good. It simply makes me admire Infinite’s expertise and vocal mix much more.

(Additionally, can the business make songs like this once more? Please?)

Takuto is cracking me up. He seems like just a little stuffed animal delivering swagger that’s solely a bit plausible. It’s weirdly charming.

The truth that the judges largely talked about this group’s seems says so much. The efficiency was high quality, however there’s simply not so much you are able to do with this tune. It sort of caught in a single gear the entire time. However in opposition to my higher judgment, I’m nonetheless rooting for Takuto (regardless that that is positively not the venue for his explicit strengths!).

The rap groups have an additional problem of writing lyrics, that are onerous for me to touch upon since I’m not a local speaker. So far as talent goes, I really feel like this was one of the crucial polished (but pure) phases of the spherical. However with out being a fan of the tune, it’s not one which I might select to replay usually.

Nevertheless, I feel the trainees did an important job and confirmed a ton of potential. I’m extra keen to listen to them sort out a unique monitor. The vocalists had been particularly sturdy.

This had such potential to be one of many defining phases of the season, particularly if the blokes had absolutely dedicated to tune and idea. However, it looks as if they stopped midway and the efficiency ended up underwhelming with out the pizzazz it wanted. I imply, I wasn’t anticipated a “lip sync to your life” model epic, however this was very vanilla. And other than one member, the vocals had been fairly weak as nicely. It’s too dangerous.

I keep in mind when this tune was so common on Korean charts. It looks as if its ubiquity has pale in recent times — even throughout springtime.

I’m undecided why they selected this type of tune for a contest sequence. With no drastic reinvention, it’s simply not the sort of music that matches this setting. It showcases vocals, however in a hazy, subdued kind of approach that tends to fade into the background and not using a really distinctive and fascinating tone on the forefront. That’s a tall order for trainees. These guys did high quality, however total I used to be fairly bored.

I’m completely happy to see a BTS b-side moderately than a monitor that’s been lined 1,000,000 occasions earlier than. Of the vocal-oriented groups, this one was one of many stronger efforts. There have been positively some bum notes, however the guys’ ethereal tones actually suited the tune.

The sheet (?) dance throughout the interlude was a pleasant contact, however the group sort of misplaced the pitch towards the tip. It’s so necessary to finish nicely, and the truth that the efficiency grew messier because it went on leaves an unsatisfying style.

That is the “Avengers group” of the spherical, elevating expectations for the efficiency. I’m forcing myself to get previous my dislike of Tomboy as a tune and concentrate on the talent of the group.

This was positively good, although it suffered from the identical factor these Avengers teams all the time do. I needed it to be heads-and-tails above every little thing else and it was simply… stable. The “badness” of this tune is simply so tacky — like “ooh, we’re going to bleep the swear phrase and mosaic the performer’s mouth! These guys are simply soooooo harmful. I can’t even imagine we’re allowed to indicate this on TV!”

Yeah… there’s me not getting previous my dislike of Tomboy, huh? I’m sorry… I simply can’t separate the 2.

These guys have loads of expertise. Many will probably make the ultimate group and deserve it.
