Korean Identities Beyond Borders

I-dle lyrics have downgraded massively making the music not as good.

in Community, Feeds

I see different theories about why I-dle isnt charting as well as they used to but like are we not seeing the stark difference in the quality of the songs and the lyrics????

“Dont hit the klaxon. Honk honk honk honk honk honk.”

They legit gave shuhua lines of her saying honk honk honk.

“Come gimme dat lololololololololololololo come gimme dat”

“Lady lady call me superlady. Lady lady. Follow ladies. Onward ladies. “

I know superlady was inspired by Beyonces concert but making such a lacklustre chorus with this big dramatic video and scene was such a jarring juxtaposition.

Yes Yuqi Minnie and Miyeon have nice voices but where theyre at with vocal range and agility means that playing with the melodies creatively is where they have excelled.

Queen card is a banger. Oh my god is an exceptionally good song that plays to each person’s strength. Nxde is fantastic. But these latest songs have lazy lyrics and also too many lyrics in English. Too too many.

I cook cream soup. Taste is coco loco

Want me your wife but she is

I clean your room its so twinkle twinkle

Like the chorus of that song would have slapped so good had it just been in korean man.
