I haven't seen these yet so this should be fun. Stayc: Ver nice addition of the dance break. It's a stark contrast but it fits. Enhypen: Do I see some lore elements there? Don't vampires usually have bat wings? Fuck dude, this is the first time I'm seeing a live stage for Pass the Mic and they absolutely killed it. Do I REALLY have to go to that Music Bank festival in Paris to see them again? Hrmmm. NewJeans: Sorry but Cookie is still weird af and I don't really wanna listen to it. And it's a shame. The composition is great but I just can't get over those creepy lyrics. I don't think the backlash had much to do with the outfits, it's all in the lyrics. I LOVE Hype Boy though. Not sure how I feel about that dance break. It's a bit too far removed from the original song. That intro into Attention is AWESOME. The girl group war of 2022 is real. TXT: Ok, there is definitely lore in that intro video. It's giving me Nap of a Star vibes. If you want to get into the lore-heavy MVs, the order would be Nap of a Star → Magic Island → Eternally. I believe other MVs also contribute to the lore but those three are really heavy on it. Magic Island is 13 minutes long and Eternally goes on for almost 20 minutes because of all the story bits in it. Yes, the Japanese MVs differ from the original Korean ones. I haven't seen the one for GBGB yet but the one for Lovesong is a lot darker than the original. Yup, that intro choreo REALLY reminds me of Nap of a Star. Directly recreated one of the scenes in the MV. I wonder why they're referencing that song in particular. It was on their first album back in 2019. Maybe it relates directly to GBGB in terms of the story. I don't know, I'm not that familiar with their lore. I just enjoy the pretty imagery :) The blue betta fish was in the MV for Lovesong. It is also the representative animal of Jinsoul from Loona but that's unrelated :D And now we're doing the Chaos Chapter: Freeze? What is going on? Holy shit that performance of Good Boy Gone Bad was everything. whY DID THEY ONLY TOUR IN AMERICA AND ASIA AAARGH. IVE: Ive's title tracks are great but for me their best song is My Satisfaction, the bside to After Like. Insane outro on that song. Holy mother of floating islands o_o Ok but can we get an official release of that Love Dive remix? I need that on Spotify. Someone needs to make a proper mashup of After Like and I Will Survive. So far I could only find the After Like vocals put on top of the I Will Survive instrumental but that doesn't quite hit the spot for me. I want to hear Gloria Gaynor's voice together with Ive. Yess, always love to see some love for Gaeul! Monsta X: Fun fact, Monsta X actually ended up as my top artist on Spotify Wrapped. Probably because of how I consume music. Whenever I get into a new group, I listen to their entire discography in chronological order. I got into Monsta X for the first time in January and their discography is massive. And then I also listened to Gambler way too many times. Ended up listening to a lot of Monsta X that way, enough to push them to the top of my Spotify stats apparently :D Their live presence is no joke. I can speak from first hand experience. The original Rush Hour is not quite as metal as this but it's still awesome. They did something cool when they were at Kpop Flex. I assume that Rush Hour would normally have been on their setlist. But because this was in Germany, they switched it out for the bside track Autobahn. Because, well, Germany :D And Autobahn is an even better song than Rush Hour. Le Sserafim: The transformation Chaewon underwent from IZ*ONE to this is astounding. Total 180 in style but it just WORKS. I like Fearless but I've been hopelessly addicted to Antifragile since it came out. That song is pure drugs. God, it's so hard to pick a favourite new girl group of 2022. Last year was easier, Billlie, Pixy, Purple Kiss or Tri.be but this year? We got Le Sserafim, tripleS, NewJeans, Kep1er, CLASS:y, CSR, Lapillus, mimiirose, maybe Ive (though that was late last year) and technically Viviz. What the fuck is going on with girl groups this year?? (G)I-DLE: My first group. First love! JESUS CHRIST MINNIE WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU WEARING. Who is this Lee Hanna person? They literally went to North and South America and all over Asia on their world tour but left out Europe this is so sad. Some of these dresses are basically a Dirndl. I feel strangely repesented. Ayo, where is THIS remix on Spotify? Uncensored Tomboy Rock version, gimme! I don't know what my favourite performance was. Don't make me choose.

you're right DG TXT and ENHYPEN made fantastic performance and put lot of energy and great stage presence .the production on the TXT performance is crazy. but we can see the experience with MONSTA X they don't need extra feature to be great just a minimalist scene and set but amazing presence on stage .

Loved your reaction! This was my first time watching these performances and they were incredible. BTW MMA is the Melon Music Awards and MAMA which happened last night is the Mnet Asian Music Awards. So we’ll see if Mnet edits MAMA better or worse than Queendom. Also I’m on team Fearless but Anti Fragile is great too!
