YG is fighting with SM, CUBE, YUEHUA, MNHE and WakeOne for the title "boss at sabotaging my artists" atp 😭☠️
Having a super vocal group debuting with a generic hip Kpop song was terrible
Talanted girls but music is mid
People are saying "calm down, it's just their debut" but this is so alarming in this overcompetitive industry full of popular and frequent changes :/ I hope they can fix stuff with a comeback, so that the girls get fame and quality they deserve
People already talking too soon. This video will become a joke when they become one of the biggest groups out there 😏
Batter up isn't a bad song on its own, it's just a bad song for Baemon. I could imagine Blackpink singing this as a B-side or a collab/ad/soundtrack. But it just doesn't do well as a debut song for a highly anticipated group, and this particular flavor of badass concept doesn't fit Babymonster at all because, well, it's cringe af when a 14 year old who's literally just debuted acts like this. Blackpink were all adults during their debut and it was one of the reasons why that concept worked for them from the beginning. Not to mention all 4 BP girls have the it factor, from the first MV it's easy to tell each of their personalities, their style, even facial features are strikingly different. It's one of the reasons why it's so easy to dive into that Blackpink rabbit hole and why many non-kpop fans like Blackpink and can easily tell them apart. It's like "yeah, it's Lisa, the fun unpredictable one, and that's Jisoo, the elegant beauty". That's what Babymonster lacked in Batter up. Their styling really isn't helping either. It might have been better if Ahyeon was there, she'd probably go viral, and the group would start around her before the others develop their style, similar to Ive and Wonyoung. But right now... it's a mess.
Debuts are what puts groups on the map, it get their name out and shows the public what to expect from a group if you look at other debuts like Twice, Aespa, TXT, BTS etc. all their debuts showcased what music they would be producing (it’s not till well into their years that they may change their sound) so people saying just wait for the next one is why it’s a problem. If groups are figuring out what their sound is after their debut it’s poorly managed; this debut was disappointing and it’s the majority that are voicing this not just a few.
I'm thankful to have zero knowledge of BABYMONSTER prior to listening to their debut song. As the song and their style was to my liking, I enjoyed it greatly and become a fan. My conclusion here therefore is that hyper-expectations can become the culprit of disappointment. I don't care the manner how they were formed (or still forming), I am having a blast with them and my joy is complete.
hate on the company not the girls. the girls are very talented
Well done your expectation is false 😂Bm is huge success now
"Forced girl crush concept on soft looking teenagers" this statement is spot on. Been seeing this so much lately in the kpop industry
2ne1 is the og blueprint, so YG keeps making a reprint of the "badass/swag" and it obvious with the beat, style and strong choreo. Their girlgroup concept won't stay relevant because people will get bored and forget them. Look at newjeans/gidle, for example, they keep changing their concepts, which makes people thrilled about what their next concept might be.
I wish they had taken the Kiss of Life route and actually showed us WHY we should think they’re badass in their MV. On top of that Kiss of Life showed the group taking on school bullies, harassment from older men, things that teenage girls and older women alike have to deal with. I wish nothing but good things in their careers and hope that they have a bright future!
Totally agree with the forced concept part. Also their debut was so sudden. After months of delays, they debuted out of no where. And now it’s like they’ve stopped promotions all together? It’s so bizarre. Other groups b-sides get more promotions than this
4th gen groups always have iconic or special debuts with this market the song did not make my playlist so many bops have been being released with countless bgs and ggs on the scene I can't be bothered for such mediocre music
No matter how you hate Tedd, yall can't deny that he's indeed a very talented producer. Sure, he has a tendency to recycle stuff, his songwriting is also not the best and he can be stagnant at times but the guy knows how to make hits.
Don't hate me, guys, but this is my opinion, and every person has their own preferences, but I watch the video and listen to the song. I just don't like the music, and I hope yg give them a new song, but one that fits their voices and also the vibe that the group shows.
Yg songs feel outdated. batter up mv is like an mv from 2015. It makes sense that employee said that they are not open to trends
i’m new to kpop but it strikes me as so weird the group they’re clearly trying to make big isn’t being promoted on music shows?? is that normal?? how i got into kpop is from stage performances but they’re not gonna have any ?!
I think the reason of the postponement is Ahyeon's hiatus. Everything was prepared, including debut album etc., but because of health issues Ahyeon can't perform and take part in any projects right now. YG knew that they postponed the debut tooooo many times. If they did it again, they will lose a lot of babymonster's new fans and of course- money. So they made 6 members debut with a backup song from the YG library and we need to wait for a proper one in the future.
