I don’t think their dancing is the best in Kpop, but I think it’s the best for a western group. It also feels like they have a whole space in front of them with no competition.
At first I didn’t really get the necessity of a girl group since they’re so rare in the west, but seeing them on the MTV Awards red carpet, it made a lot of sense. 6 young women aged around 19-20 that you can dress in the latest fashion and show off at events, I can’t think of anyone else in the west right now.
Their styling is crazy, but it reminds me of old clips of Britney Spears or Christina Aguilera wearing crazy stuff in the 90s or 2000s.
I personally prefer their cute songs like Touch and Gameboy, but I think they are priming them to be a sexy group. I also feel like the group is getting a lot of influence from Lara since she seems to have such a strong creative identity and Lara has such a unique vibe.
I didn’t see it at first because I thought their dancing was giving musical theater, but that might be appropriate for this era anyway. Ariane Grande has gone full theatre kid and she’s still popular. Sabrina Carpenter and Chappell Roan are kind of dorky. Billie Eilish was homeschooled. And Tate McRae is a dancer too so that helps bring more interest into dancing.
In any case, I feel like now that they are known in the US, they could start getting hits that top charts.
