Thats just a loud version of boring.. It is entirely possible to remix a song without making it sound like slow, homogenous noise. The Korean notation tells that the pronounciation is /peu-nee-el/. But they were both playing to some of their strengths so I understand their directions. Same! The teasers for episode 2 seem as though the first performances will be cut from the same cloth of: angst, explosions, edge, so Im not hopeful about diversity in performances haha (ill be happy to be proven wrong though! Like in https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1hJMSFIH7Cs (Decalmonie by Mamamoo) and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m5iFHJECQWU (Good Luck by AOA covered by Mamamoo). Isnt it a bit impressive or do they really think were not good enough?. Im celebrating on behalf of the warring groups, while also fuming at MNET for not making this decision last year. Incorporating hip hop gentlemen was also dope which reminded fans that YGe swag aint dead yet. Otherwise, it was primarily a dance showcase, much like last weeks Monster. The remixes were eh for the most part. 1. Fantastic climax. I think it would be good to change things up for at least one episode. Im eager to see how they do. 25% voting by competing teams Powerfully. The duo lays out the rules, including three rounds and a final. Voting period was from February 23 to 27, and the results were announced during the first episode on April 1, 2021, for groups ranked 3 to 5. With that said, the ending was abrupt as hell. The way they entered is by their seating arrangement in alternate order. Other Recaps: Episode Two // Episode Three. 6. And now, the prospect of staying Up All Night to chroniclethis three hour swagger-a-thon will see my usual grasp of the English language devolve into incomprehensible eieios and illa illas. iKons performance is what I liked best because they showed their color as a group where they dont need to change their typical performance style to show something different especially that this is a group introduction stage. Its so overused and its so far away from November. The Boyz love playing on the theme of Kingdom, and elements of this can grow a bit stale. Kingdom Legendary War is a TV program that was aired on 1st April 2021 and its final was on 3rd June 2021. Its also a track that naturally lends itself to remixes, and I thought the percussive mix here was really cool. Part 2 Fan voting on Whosfan app (40%) + Video views (10%), Voting details for the 1st Round: Thank you so much for making Kingdom concise to consume for all that cant be bothered to watch 1.5 (and in this episode, its 3) hours of content! All the pre-recorded stuff really took the momentum out of the performance, unfortunately. They debuted on September 15th, 2015 under YG Entertainment. Meanwhile, THE BOYZ took third place in the expert judges evaluations and fourth place in the contestants votes. document.getElementById( "ak_js_1" ).setAttribute( "value", ( new Date() ).getTime() ); This site uses Akismet to reduce spam. Personally id say atz > sf9 > tbz/btob > ikon > skz, though my ranking aslo isnt really set in stone, all i know is that atz had my favorite. SF9consists of 9 members: Youngbin, Inseong, Jaeyoon, Dawon, Zuho, Rowoon, Taeyang, Hwiyoung and Chani. I believe Kpop singers can sing (if they are trained to sing properly).

Finally, ateez and BTOB came out on top this round to me. The latest episode of Kingdom: Legendary War revealed the initial rankings after Round 1 was completed. Really, if you didnt know the groups and the songs, how could you tell them apart? The stray kids x the boyz x ateez inter-group friendship was also very funny to watch, heres to more of such interactions in the future! Its like a less-successful version of music theyve already released. They play the game to their strengths. I hope Kingdom doesnt fall into this trap, but the meet-greet performances were disappointing. Its suddenly all over idol variety. Warning: This recap is not spoiler-free. I tried to search for the song title on Melon and there was a song with the name but different lyrics. The Boyz understand this stage setup well and know how to use their numbers so they definitely have the potential to be the group to beat again. In the end, this was always going to be a popularity contest to some extent. Stray Kids was great. 3rd place: BTOB 2,021.073 points (632.184 + 1,388.889) Everything bodes well for Ateez and their future. The performances were aired via live stream on February 23, 2021, through Mnet's YouTube channel. ATEEZ is my favorite group out of the competitors, and because of that I know they have more to offer than they showed in this stage. Show me a boy group that hasnt done an Im so edgy, smoldering, and serious concept at some point in their careers. Looking at the other groups results, I feel embarrassed. I like their theme of delinquents, even if its not very original. SF9 ?? Being humble is good, but so is confidence. SF9 3. I just think their team used up their best ideas during Road to Kingdom. I think the producers missed an opportunity to switch up the staging. 5. iKON 4. And will they get the same sales boost the Road to Kingdom groups enjoyed? Kprofiles.com, (Special thanks to: skzdhyn, sarayamelie, Kpop1098, Boakye Manu, SF9 Fighting, Hannah). You can have good song, best vocal but if the performance not interesting, it doesnt leave impression to audiences. For the expert and peer votes, it was revea. Hes funny even when hes not on screen, as evidenced by his letter. Ive always considered Ateez as being high level performers but man, The Boyz and Stray Kids look undeniably threatening in their performances. However, due to their young age, how many singers out there actually have enough life experiences to even sing explosively or expressively. The remix isnt bad, but I didnt like the blood part (cuz ew wtf) and the Hakuna Matata part. Three hours and ten minutes, to be exact. Stray Kids are next, and all I can think about is that cruel debut show they suffered through with JYP. iKON took the top spot for me. The mysterious experts ranked the groups like this: 5. How is that even explainable? I know I am. add a flip or aerial With that said, this was barely Wave at all.

Kpop Girl Group Profiles iKons greatest strength is their stage presence with live singing and rapping, but they didnt utilize that here. I think one huge thing that sets RTK/Kingdom is the lack of a live audience. That ranking is revealed here, at a strategic point that will certainly not impact the live fan vote right? . Darkness, trying to out edgy everyone elses edge. Filling the stage with dancers lent Wolfgang a larger-than-life presence that made it feel more like a musical than a typical K-pop performance. Damn, I typed a lot. Just not my favorite stages from either of them. Now overall it just seems like nowdays kpop groups doing performances with more money. 5. They come across as very authentic and comfortable in their own skin. Its like what Nick said about the latest Produce 101 season same thing, all over again. Viewers will vote for their top 3 performances. They debuted on March 21, 2012, under CUBE Entertainment, making them the most senior group competing on Kingdom. Still, kudos to all the groups, they all did GREAT!^^, For me I believe that IKON and BTOB showed something different whereas the other 4 performances were almost similar. I loved the ballet section during the climax. If I were voting, I dont even know who I would pick. And from the sound of it, theyve been able to make a few friends with members from other groups. They literally introduce each act several times. And ooh, WolfgangI was not feeling the staging or the concept choice. Come to think of it, wasnt it the same in Road to Kingdom? I would have loved to watch Sungjaes interactions with other groups. iKON consists of 6 members: Bobby, Jay, Ju-ne, Song, DK and Chan. Cant wait to watch their next stages^^.

Kpop Boy Group Profiles And it was so cool to see all the boys shouting the groups name after the performance was over. I had a lot of fun reading it. They known as a performance group and I believe they can actually showcase their cool choreographies for their next stages and also hoping for Rowoons complete recovery. How can we tell? Other Recaps: Episode One // Episode Two // Episode Three // Episode Four // Episode Five // Episode Six // Episode Seven // Episode Eight // Episode Nine. Comebacks (The bottom half are all pretty close to me.) They came to life and their energy was just so unreal. They get all dressed up, only to meet at a construction zone that leads to a riverfront terrace. I feel like they are the real winners of Kingdom this yearkinda like OhMyGirl and Queendom. Through a combination of voting and streaming, the final round will be decided completely by fans. They got to try new things and cant rely too much on stunts. I think its the cultural differences and perhaps if Lion King didnt exist, I wouldnt cringe as much. Shoutout to BTOB for doing something different I think a more creative spin on the ballad style or more knockout vocals would have made it work even better. 6th place: The Boyz 919.540 points (919.540 + 0). But, an excellent performance can elevate a so-so song, and vice versa. I feel like the majority of the purpose of the show is just lost on boy groups. 4.

For self-evaluation, each boy group will hold 3 votes, and will vote for other boy groups other than their own group. Im a Music Bank guy, so I never really get to watch YG groups week to week.
