As a fan, I wish they’d actually give them choreography that showcases their dance skills for once. I don’t think it’s a secret by now that BABYMONSTER’s choreographies are some of the least rigorous among 4th and 5th generation groups in terms of difficulty.
Perhaps there’s an intentional reason behind it, with the company wanting them to focus more on delivering live performances and treating the dancing as a secondary priority. But it’s still a shame because they’re NEVER given the opportunity to truly show what they’re capable of as dancers.
Batter Up, SHEESH, DRIP, Like That, BILLIONAIRE, FOREVER, Psycho, Hot Sauce, We Go Up, CHOOM, SHIT… none of these choreographies are particularly difficult or innovative. There are so many recurring movements throughout their discography. An excessive amount of body rolls, solo and group twerking, hip-popping movements, and that leg wobble dance keep showing up over and over again. Unique formations and creative transitions are almost nonexistent. Not to mention, there are so many posing and idle sections that I would honestly describe as filler choreography.
Ngl, when they announced they were releasing a track called CHOOM this year, I thought they were finally going to bring it and show what they’re capable of as dancers. When YG himself said that he had rejected 10 different choreographies for CHOOM because none of them were doing the song justice, I genuinely thought we were about to get something special. Instead, we got an excessive amount of twerking, more leg wobble, zoomed-in shots of their hips, and what I’d argue is one of the weakest choreographies in their entire discography. Same thing with SHIT. Just more blatant sexy dance moves consisting of body rolls, finger biting, and hip pops. If they’re not gonna elevate the difficulty of the choreos, the least they could do is make them at least memorable like they did with SHEESH’s chorus section.
At this point, what was the point of giving them all that rigorous dance training if they’re never going to be given anything remotely challenging to perform? Also, what’s with the obsession of making a sexy choreo for every song? They don’t even fit the vibe of the song a lot of the times. I feel like they’re capable of delivering the same level of live performances even with better and more challenging choreos.
