As a highschool student back then (now a college junior), I always enjoying making poems, poetry, storytelling, and even experimenting different words that would match the vibe of what I am writing; this is the thing I wasn't feeling that K-pop idols have. At least Westerners are known to be passionate in making music that's why the Lyrics or words are highly connected and hit you within yourself, that is why it felt more nostalgic. In K-pop, they just think adding English words would make it cooler lol. The emotions or proper execution in the music isn't there for me; they JUST care what needs to be trending than what effort needs to be exerted that would call it as music. I also want to bring out the standards for vocals lol. Like that's the least prioritized category in my opinion, sing it nasally, but they're expected to belt very high bruh. Also the fans... Arguing one another that the idol has better singing abilities than the other one just by using "oh because that idol has E+, D- B-" or whatever bullcrap it is; cuz gurl, I paid to be taught by a voice teacher and even draw an anatomy of my body so I can at least understand how my body should actually work if I sing because I want to sound good in singing to karaoke but ended being corrected by someone in the comments saying that idol is D+ tier or what, but if I ask them in technical terms like the soft palate, the vowels, which muscles they're engaging, they can't answer these basic singing knowlegde lol and continue to answer me with this letter tier yet they claim themselves as they undergo vocal training or vocal professionals. submitted by /u/Alarmed_Pepper9665 [link] [comments]
