I asked myself why I find Babymonster’s debut so unserious in comparison to Blackpink’s than I realized; it’s because Blackpink served WOMEN not daycare
YG delayed the debut just for them to give the girls a Blackpink ft. Treasure remix 💀 Also their fans were so brave saying they will surpass NewJeans, IVE, aespa and Lesserafim when they couldn't even chart on Bugs 😭
@@ajanuguseulgi is the only member versions that sold out on the site i bought my albums from/ it used to be Irene that would sell out first. I had to point out that change up
i kinda wish babymonster's debut leaned way more into the baseball thing. Like I'm thinking high school sporty girls with more focus on chants like how the very beginning of the song starts. Maybe be a bit tongue-in-cheek with the whole "tough girl" aesthetic would be fun. Intense and tough the way that high school sports feels intense and tough when you are in the moment playing the game (even though its really not that serious). The fan chant for the song could be reminiscent of like sports fans chants during a game. I feel like that would fit with the more youthful look of the members.
After seeing the baby Monster's M/V debut, I was thinking what a LAZY company with bad song lyrics and then my head was all day "reMeMbEr mE sTiNg liKe a Bee" i can't with YG
The big problem with Babymonster's debut is the complete lack of fucks that was given, despite being the ones that are gonna pay the bills in the next years when Blackpink will get the fuck out of that agency (hopefully). Batter Up is just a bunch of YG tropes put together with middle schoolers (talented ones for that matter) trying to act tough, which makes the whole thing funnier. Compare that to whistle and you’ll see what I mean, you can have a strong identity as an agency and not make all your songs sound the same. Also, the MV was cheap AF.
i remember blackpink talking of how YG just wanted boombayah to be their debut and didn’t want whistle because he didn’t like it. the girls pushed for whistle and, to this day, i’m so glad that they did because whistle is so much better than boombayah. so you know YG sucks and his opinion on music sucks even more.
I couldn't even finish the babymonster debut like IT WAS THAT BAD I HAD TO STOP WATCHING HALFWAY THROUGH. and i tried to give them a chance, i tried girl 😭
@@teume_lover6396 nah girl trust me i tried so hard to like it but they fr gave me a blackpink reject song with reused mv sets and outfits like nahhhhh ☠️☠️☠️
If there isn't a major change, babymonster is gonna mark the downfall of YG. Their debut song? Totally forgettable. Treasure? Flopped hard. Blackpink? The only thing carrying the company and we don't know how much they're gonna last. It's sad cause I was really anticipating baemon's debut, but it was disappointing
@@swire6984from what I've heard is not that good of a number. And now that the Chinese market no longer spends money on kpop YG is probably going to face some problems
YG should have gone back in time, gone to JYPs external hard drive, stole sneakers (for the children) and let us believe that he is bringing the quirky trend. Hwaiting
the smile on my face when chill kill’s chorus hit and sounded so red I knew all the velvet lovers would hate it and ooh was I happy about it velvet lovers always deserve to lose for shitting on their red side
You're absolutely right about RV's future not looking good in their company. They are with Center 3 which seems to be understaffed, underpaid or incompetent - we've already a seen a poorly organized tour, an uninspired concert set up, mess ups during album roll out, the members themselves saying they've had to manage things and songs from the vault. The only thing RV members can control are their vocals and they did great on that - for me, noticeable vocal improvement on the Chill Kill album. As a fan, can only hope for better days.
Red velvet's red side is their experimental peppy and brassy musical identity and the albums like the red, rbb, Russian Roulette, and more... shows this red side of red velvet imo. As for the velvet, they focus on nostalgic and luxurious contemporary rnb tracks with projects like the perfect velvet, the perfect red velvet, the velvet, chill kill and tracks like In & Out and Bambaleo showcases the velvet side and it's for people who prefer tracks that are adult contemporary, nostalgic and something not experimental.
@@Blanka767attention the most basic song ever like it’s just a 2014 reject from Taylor’s album, like it has nothing special and never understand the hype In other hands mother hype boy is so good but it’s obviously the song was just made for tiktok, from the lacks of a bridge to the none sense lyrics, like the song was saved for the dance
And 2NE1 was just BB but with milkers so... and BB was just 1TYM but as idol twinks... YG sucks. Winner and AKMU are the only original things to come out of that company.
kiss of life was kewt, i do agree their sound leaves much to be desired cuz it does sound quite dated, but i am at least excited for what they have coming next because their vocals are amazing
Baemon is basically teen girlies cosplaying as badass women. The song? Basic. The concept? Bland. The mv? Boring. No spice. No freshness. No uniqueness. Everything abt this debut screams YG recyclables mashed tgt. My kindergarteners deserves better 🙂
Nah cause i remember in like 2020 or everyone was crazy about new trainees appearing in the building,it so surreal how babymonster is here now and suprise suprise they just sound like a generic yg artist, but maybe if we give them time theyll give us bops? The girls are really talented so im still staying positive
Red velvet was actually kinda busy this year, they had their world tour during the first part of the year also a few members have had health conditions
There really is no substance to support Taeyeon and Jessica hate eachother, or really any members of SNSD. Lots of groundless propaganda going on around Jessica's departure from the group. I do agree with Jessica being late to the party. An English album should've been 2 years ago and today she should be releasing a full Chinese album. With how much success she had with all the Chinese shows she's been on (she is basically blacklisted from Korea so I don't blame her going for the other cash market), a Chinese album should be a no-brainer. Jessica has horrible management and isn't cashing in on the right things at the right times which is really stunting her growth as an artist.
"Whenever kpop remembers they have their own culture to tap into..." 😂I haven't listened to RV's album in full yet, but visually it's gorgeous, it's giving male sacrifice vibes.
Red Velvet falling off??? Some people’s kids these days. This is a masterpiece compared to anything else out right now. Glad they are making music for grown women.
The reason why YG delayed Blackpink's contract until now was because of what kind of reaction babymonster would receive. I'm sure they're trying everything right now to keep blackpink. I hope my sisters walk them like a dog
you're so riiight. like if they deliver and goes viral, they would be more likely to not pursue blackpink and get them to sign again. but now... blackpink needs to get 75% of the share because yikes (idk how shares or anything works btw)
The RV girls were picking the songs themselves in this release which means that the music experts in SM have been relegated to the newer groups. The problem with that is that these women are left to themselves to advocate for better songs, like Shinee Key and Exo Kai repeatedly reported they had to do. But these are men with seniority and even they complained about not receiving proper treatment from SM so combined with the prevalent misogyny in the industry, I am very pessimistic about the future musical trajectory of RV. But I will try to be optimistic, I trust in Seulgi’s musical taste and I am a loyal, resourceful Reveluv either way so yeah
the thing about blackpink is that YG created a group with very distinct looking members and very different voices. babymonster feels like a bunch of NPCs
I also feel that the baby monster's girls are awkward? I mean... Their facial expressions looks unnatural and awkward. I mean blackpink's Jennie and Lisa are expressive but they looks so natural but baby mobster's members doesn't?
i think babymonster's debut exemplifies how the big 3 no longer has the chokehold on kpop they once had . yg in particular has had a major fall from grace and people are a lot less inclined to take jyp and sm's bullshit anymore , plus a lot of middle tier companies are getting more successful like starship . the big 3 is not the empire it used to be . ( also my favorite comment i've seen anyone make about batter up is some person being like " i love this song
see but walk with me ... teddy sets the tone of yg's musical style with his various productions. and we KNOW yg wont stray far from what's been established for 20 years. so technically ... like TECHNICALLY ... he kinda does have credits on the song.
@@eduardos9905Well teddy has produced songs like playing with fire, dudududu,pink venom+ bp side tracks..... Which are obviously better than this batter up
@@shizaethe thing that pisses me off is that teddy is capable of making good music so when he sticks to that same yg formula it bugs the fuck outta me bc we KNOW you can do better! All bp songs before d4 and lovesick girls are proof of that.
Yes I love OOTD and Rising!!!! I love how Rising kinda rides the edge of sounding inspirational but it's dark enough that it's like post-apocalypse inspirational. I'm a rock girlie so I'm generally pretty about Dreamcatcher's discography, but I found OOTD really cool, too!
I liked the “remember me, sting like a bee” part I dunno why lol but the ending reminded me of how you like that ending even the arm swirling movements made me think of the end of that music video
I think the thing is with BABYMONSTER is that they literally rushed this release. They started from scratch after they said they were gonna “improve quality” bcoz I’m pretty sure they made a final decision that Ahyeon would have to sit out of debut activities coz of her health, but they still wanted the group to debut this year as advertised. So, this explains the low quality, the ONE song, shitty promotions, and gaps in choreo. I may just be delusional but I really hope they comeback next year with Ahyeon and release their album that they were actually gonna debut with.
nah i’m ngl it genuinely was my least favourite debut. the only somewhat redeemable section was the ending but it just seems unlistenable overall from the boring concept to the interesting vocals to the lyrics to the interesting song formation. idk we’ll see
Literally annoying as hell. They the same mfs who complained that their songs were too samey and when they try something else they want the “old” back. Like what do you want ???
You actually spot on with how dated chill kill album was. Lyre who produced Ice Coffee mention how the song was already made last year but now it getting released. Can imagine other bside\title track being the same bc zimzalabim was suppose to release after Russian Roulette but they kept it in the vault.
i think they also revealed one of the songs was created like 5 yrs ago too? i think underwater was at a writing camp or whatever but everyone enjoyed that song so
yg is just so sad. the last debut to cap off 4th gen? supposed 4th gen leaders? and all they got was the remaining buckets of white paint from the shut down mv. i know they love to keep everything "in-house" from production to locking all their artists up but can they at least leave the building to film?
Red Velvet is having a world tour and also preparing a lot for their full album so it's understandable they can only made a comebace once for this year~
look if they were going to do the same old shit they could've had teddy there idk he might be unoriginal, he might be tired but he makes a fairly catchy song. batter up's chorus is like boombayah's chorus ended after the "oppa"
Well Red Velvet played concerts last year. That may have taken time. And the two eps last year only makes up one more song than the new album tbf. The new album slaps btw.
To me baemon song was dookie from the butt, like how do you pick the worst part of BP music and then sprinkle it with treasure... I was neutral to them prior to debut, but definitely won't be tuning in for comebacks if this is what they are delivering.
to be very honest melting point (album) was sooo much better than their debut like youth in the shade was just an intro, a good song (nkotb), 2/3 snoozers and a take on me ripoff, melting point was almost the same, except the snoozers were actually good 😍
they needed to lower the key on take my hand and kidz zone. zb1's vocal line is actually very good, but both songs are just way too high. also melting point's mixing was dookie. whoever made zhang hao and taerae's vocal adlibs sound like they were a billion miles away on top of a snowy mountain needs to be removed from the studio. IMMEDIATELY. let us hear the singers sing!
The thing is sm rarely promoted red velvets chill kill album so it wasnt internationally promoted and very neglected so they had no people for it to look forward to it other that reveluvs
Thanks for the Dreamcatcher review! And discussing Jessica and Taeyeon. I think Jessica's use of Amber was a statement of personal loyalty to someone who has stood by her while she has been cast out into the Kpop wilderness.
The outfits and the sets were literally blackpink, 2ne1, everglow knock off.. Music wise it was money with no budget, 2ne1 reject , aespa itzy mashup, treasure but water down the instrumentals , but blackpink naahhh..
@@sfj_7126 Someone posted what some of the knets are saying about the song and three of them said it was “tacky and outdated”, “baby monster in your area” and “it feels like blackpink without the money” 😭😭
at the end of the beat drop part when they went 'let me show you who we are' i literally did the 'blackpink' yell that ends BP songs and i was like "??? why did i say that"
Babymonster needs to just pack it up and disband. I don't usually want this for kpop groups but after YG having in them dungeon, having a member leave, its just like wow... my expectations were already low and they met them. 😵 (Asa's rap was kinda good tho)
The reason Itzy and aespa debut seem so far apart is because it was actually closer to 2 years than 1 (Itzy debuted at the beginning of 2019, aespa debuted at the end of 2020)
The MV and song felt straight outta 2010 - 2016. Chiquita(?) is cute and charismatic but we could've waited a few more years and she could have been so much more talented but......
i agree that more could’ve been done with the baseball theme. nct new team’s video ‘hands up’ has a baseball concept and the mv looked expensive and cohesive.
as someone who watched the last evaluation and ENJOYED their pre-debut song, dream, and was genuinely excited for the debut, baemon really disappointed me😭🙏🏻
When I saw the teasers for Batter Up I lowered my expectations, i had a feeling that it wasn't going to be really impressive and so the underwhelming debut didn't surprise me but yes it was still disappointing. To me the braggadocios lyrics felt unearned, like they literally just debuted? For reference Boombayah felt cheeky and bratty and fun unserious girlpop, not that they have to be the same.Kpop english lyrics are usually too straightforward and unsubtle and lacking in poetry and I don't blame them too much for that but I was hoping YG would step up the quality for this fresh group but i guess not. Anyways it's not the worst thing. The mv though..as you said, it exposes YG's weaknesses. It makes them look so uncreative and uninspired, like was that the best they could come up with for such a highly anticipated debut? There were no new and unique elements to make babymon feel like a fresh new era in YG, like they had finally stepped out of the box . It really feels like innovation and evolution is not a priority at YG, it's not something they take seriously in their meetings, they don't value giving the fans something fresh and unexpected, it's all so stale. But this is just the first song,and songs are hit or miss. Things can get much better and slayful in the future.. only time will tell
wait praying that it was red jbdjdbsjs i also FULLY did that like call me miserable (but i'm a red enthusiast how could i be miserable) but even after the teasers came out i just had a feeling like there was pink in the teasers it couldn't be a full blown velvet tt. and here we are with everyone just kind of whelmed

You're absolutely right about RV's future not looking good in their company.

Literally annoying as hell. They the same mfs who complained that their songs were too samey and when they try something else they want the “old” back. Like what do you want ???
The mixing on sweet crazy love made me nauseous
You actually spot on with how dated chill kill album was. Lyre who produced Ice Coffee mention how the song was already made last year but now it getting released. Can imagine other bside\title track being the same bc zimzalabim was suppose to release after Russian Roulette but they kept it in the vault.
i think they also revealed one of the songs was created like 5 yrs ago too? i think underwater was at a writing camp or whatever but everyone enjoyed that song so
yg is just so sad. the last debut to cap off 4th gen? supposed 4th gen leaders? and all they got was the remaining buckets of white paint from the shut down mv. i know they love to keep everything "in-house" from production to locking all their artists up but can they at least leave the building to film?
It’s okay, no one will ever get Vroom Vroom like I do!

STANDING WITH YOU BESTIE 💚
Red Velvet is having a world tour and also preparing a lot for their full album so it's understandable they can only made a comebace once for this year~
melting point (song) just barely saved zb1. Let's get back on track next comeback
look if they were going to do the same old shit they could've had teddy there idk he might be unoriginal, he might be tired but he makes a fairly catchy song. batter up's chorus is like boombayah's chorus ended after the "oppa"
I thought that the red velvet comeback title sounded too much like a disbandment song but I'm gonna need them to renew those contracts ASAP
Didn't they all renew within the last year or two?
@@Hgoenge81 no, I think only seulgi has.
Well Red Velvet played concerts last year. That may have taken time. And the two eps last year only makes up one more song than the new album tbf.
The new album slaps btw.
To me baemon song was dookie from the butt, like how do you pick the worst part of BP music and then sprinkle it with treasure... I was neutral to them prior to debut, but definitely won't be tuning in for comebacks if this is what they are delivering.
underwater really reminded me of the whole urban flora album by alina baraz and that one producer it was so good
Technically Baymon is a 5th gen group... they literally skipped the 4th gen mark
to be very honest melting point (album) was sooo much better than their debut like youth in the shade was just an intro, a good song (nkotb), 2/3 snoozers and a take on me ripoff, melting point was almost the same, except the snoozers were actually good 😍
I loved their debut album but I agree I enjoyed melting point better
@@ri-kb1ue i lowkey like in bloom but i enjoy crush more, and new kidz on the block was sooo good
they needed to lower the key on take my hand and kidz zone. zb1's vocal line is actually very good, but both songs are just way too high.
also melting point's mixing was dookie. whoever made zhang hao and taerae's vocal adlibs sound like they were a billion miles away on top of a snowy mountain needs to be removed from the studio. IMMEDIATELY. let us hear the singers sing!
@@yuratchkaplisetskys3063 true about melting point, and yeah the songs felt a bit high also compared to the b-sides in the debut album
Baby monster could have gone the youthful route with a rap hip hop flare but nope had to just be a doppelganger
The thing is sm rarely promoted red velvets chill kill album so it wasnt internationally promoted and very neglected so they had no people for it to look forward to it other that reveluvs
I've watched Batter Up like 4 times now but I literally cannot remember anything about it-
Same 😢
That song is so forgettable is crazy 😧
Baemon debuted too late everyone already turned on the big3 groups, maybe 2 years ago this would’ve been successful
clock me BUT the birthday ep is rbb lil sister, those b-sides are great
Thanks for the Dreamcatcher review! And discussing Jessica and Taeyeon. I think Jessica's use of Amber was a statement of personal loyalty to someone who has stood by her while she has been cast out into the Kpop wilderness.
batter up is absolutely terrible
and babymonster feel SOOO nugu
thank yewww for understanding my distaste for will i ever see you again, i’ve only seen people love it and i just don’t understand the hype
the chorus is so bad
With batter up I loved the outfits and the sets for the music video were good but the lyrics and instrumental sound way too much like blackpink
The outfits and the sets were literally blackpink, 2ne1, everglow knock off.. Music wise it was money with no budget, 2ne1 reject , aespa itzy mashup, treasure but water down the instrumentals , but blackpink naahhh..
@@sfj_7126 Someone posted what some of the knets are saying about the song and three of them said it was “tacky and outdated”, “baby monster in your area” and “it feels like blackpink without the money” 😭😭
at the end of the beat drop part when they went 'let me show you who we are' i literally did the 'blackpink' yell that ends BP songs and i was like "??? why did i say that"
@@Etherealzyo is that so.. I don't really hear it tbh.. I hear more 2ne1 .. Visual and aesthetic wise yep that's blackpink..
Babymonster needs to just pack it up and disband. I don't usually want this for kpop groups but after YG having in them dungeon, having a member leave, its just like wow... my expectations were already low and they met them. 😵
(Asa's rap was kinda good tho)
The reason Itzy and aespa debut seem so far apart is because it was actually closer to 2 years than 1 (Itzy debuted at the beginning of 2019, aespa debuted at the end of 2020)
its more to do with the pandemic
@@ajanuguoh
Aja being an RBB enthusiast! TASTE!
can’t wait for the mama debrief
batter up so boring girl i forgot i was even listening to it 1 minute in
same i put it on without the mv to see if i could listen to it and i started daydreaming and shit forgot it was on😭
The MV and song felt straight outta 2010 - 2016. Chiquita(?) is cute and charismatic but we could've waited a few more years and she could have been so much more talented but......
nobody truly felt like winter and the winterettes ure so right
ntm on elizabeth
weeekly made odyssey for me COME ON. the call my name part just itches so good
how are you gonna let blackpink ai do your own song better than you
aespa ate
no but like how is babymonster already nugu
honestly, once their debut was delayed the second time, i knew it wasn’t going to compete with other groups’ music quality in the least.
i agree that more could’ve been done with the baseball theme. nct new team’s video ‘hands up’ has a baseball concept and the mv looked expensive and cohesive.
Red Velvet Unemployed? they do more than just albums: Yeri acting, Wendy in Musical, Joy on "Animal Farm" ...etc.
okay so red velvet unemployed
why did say amber is taeyeon’s butch queen… that’s key
almost time for the 2023 mamajas we won so bad
as someone who watched the last evaluation and ENJOYED their pre-debut song, dream, and was genuinely excited for the debut, baemon really disappointed me😭🙏🏻
Girl you better make another Mamaja Awards at the end of this month!!!
im gonna need fromis to rob pristins grave just so they dont disband yet DONT DIE ON ME GIRLS WE CANT LOSE YOU
When I saw the teasers for Batter Up I lowered my expectations, i had a feeling that it wasn't going to be really impressive and so the underwhelming debut didn't surprise me but yes it was still disappointing.
To me the braggadocios lyrics felt unearned, like they literally just debuted? For reference Boombayah felt cheeky and bratty and fun unserious girlpop, not that they have to be the same.Kpop english lyrics are usually too straightforward and unsubtle and lacking in poetry and I don't blame them too much for that but I was hoping YG would step up the quality for this fresh group but i guess not. Anyways it's not the worst thing.
The mv though..as you said, it exposes YG's weaknesses. It makes them look so uncreative and uninspired, like was that the best they could come up with for such a highly anticipated debut? There were no new and unique elements to make babymon feel like a fresh new era in YG, like they had finally stepped out of the box . It really feels like innovation and evolution is not a priority at YG, it's not something they take seriously in their meetings, they don't value giving the fans something fresh and unexpected, it's all so stale.
But this is just the first song,and songs are hit or miss. Things can get much better and slayful in the future.. only time will tell
Not related but allegedly ahyeon was seen in the cube hq?, miyeon is truly a trailblazer.
ooh the intro with clicking on the folder was so cool
i love when kpop fans through some da vinci code process find words and sentences that were not even there it just keeps life exciting
wait praying that it was red jbdjdbsjs i also FULLY did that like call me miserable (but i'm a red enthusiast how could i be miserable) but even after the teasers came out i just had a feeling like there was pink in the teasers it couldn't be a full blown velvet tt. and here we are with everyone just kind of whelmed
i Truly was hoping for red though because they show no indication of ever doing a velvet like their early years again
their debut never sat right with me. It only trending on music right now all because of blinks.
