Another interesting factor: different reactors focus on different elements (visuals, lyrics, fashion, beat, rapping, singing, editing, choreo, etc) so depending on what facet you focus on you’re going to have a different experience with the song. It’s never as simple as “Song Good” or “Song Bad” lol
EVERYONE THIS IS HOW CONSTRUCTIVE CRITICISM SOUNDS LIKE . Pointing fingers at the arrears which could have been better, yet not disrespecting them or the song as an whole . THANK YOU SO MUCH for giving such a matured reaction to this !
This was the kind of comeback I was hoping for. I think people's expectations were through the roof because of all the amazing songs they released in the past, which are all hard to top. Songs that switch up a lot like this one aren't always instant favorites, but they have a lot more staying power and get better with repeat listens compared to more predictable structures. I get what you are saying with respect to the vocals in the Rosé parts, but given that her voice has such an interesting timbre to begin with, they can afford to bury her under the music a little and she still shines through.
If the beat keeps going harder after Jennie's 1st verse, It will become K-Rap instead of K-Pop. I love the anti-drop in the hook. Its nasty, their voices spicy, the choreo sexy.
Bro, thanks for giving your honest and insightful review on the track, and still being respectful to the artist and their craft. You are a great example of how a dissenting opinion should be presented. Respect. Personally, I love the song. I am abscessed with the chorus. It's different for them but still the same Blackpink, if that makes sense. That anti-drop was sick and unexpected. This song slaps in the car especially when the chorus comes in. Teddy is known for having "upteen" different music styles in the music he produces, so for anyone following BP for years, this was nothing new. Now that you mentioned it, giving Jisso a rap verse would have put the song in a different direction (Jisoo is good rapper) and kept the track on the same heightened level (similar to pretty savage). They did listen to the fans and brought their tag team JenLisa rapline back. For me, this is Teddy's best effort of melding and transitioning the many sounds he incorporates in his songs. It had me bopping. It's on replay for me. I am looking forward to the Album. With all the traveling they did over the past two years, they have been working with a lot of US producers and writers. I am remembering their last pre-release single, "Lovesick girls", that track was not indicative of the songs that eventually ended up on the album. Half of the album was in English. Music is relative everyone. We are all not going to like the same songs and music. Like what you like, love what you love, but be respectful of the artists and their hard work. Peace
Jennie ATE this comeback. A sick intro rap which is a great adaptation of biggie flow and shout out, then the chorus, then old school chopper flow on an old school beat. She proved why shes the main rapper
For me at first I was like yeah pretty good but not as good as I hoped. Then after listening to it more and just having it on while I did chores at home I found it grew on me a lot and I really enjoy it now.
Legit was waiting for your reaction. I understand what you mean with vocals. It threw me off a bit. It’s taken me a couple listens to get used to it. I really think this song was meant for Lisa and Jennie. Not saying the others weren’t good, but the vibe suits Jenlisa more to me
It honestly does feel like a Jenlisa song with Rosé and Jisoo sprinkled here and there, but you know what? I think that's fine! I know some people won't like that, but the song is a pre-release anyways. There's still the title track and full album to come 👌
@@lalalalisa41 I agree, and there is a chance there is a song where it’s the exact opposite where it’s more of a Rose and jisoo song with sprinkle of Jenlisa. I’m legit just happy they are back.
@@fireruby1882 its like a taster song to create hype for the upcoming album. The different sounds that pink venom has encourages the idea of the possible versatility of sounds in the album.
I love your honest opinion. For me this is my favorite Blackpink song now. Its quite different from their other hit songs but its a blast and satisfying. Excited for their album.
I gotta say...I'm not really an online kpop fan or anything, I just listen to the new releases of my fave groups on Spotify and enjoy, and I fuckin LOVED this release (it also went straight to my jogging playlist - such a hype song). I was honestly baffled when I saw online that apparently it was a divisive song, but I really enjoy your balanced analysis and I can see why someone might say that the singing kills the momentum or feels out of place here. I love it personally but yeah the transitions aren't the smoothest. Also, I just found your channel (and subbed :)) so I dunno your history with listening to Blackpink, but your comments on Jennie's rap made me smile. She's always been my favourite as she's seemed like the most versatile of the four girls since their debut, but especially in DDU-DDU DDU-DDU, her rap goes so damn hard that I can't help but stan her. Lisa's got flow too and none of them are untalented at all but Jennie just kills her parts every damn time.
I think you’re my favorite reactor. Yours seems so realistic and non-bias. What’s annoying about other reactors who are familiar with blackpink is that they praise every single thing they do in the music video and it just doesn’t seem real. Shoot, i praise everything that BP does cuz I’m a huge blink but i know some areas of the song that could’ve been better. You described the song very well. I totally agree that if they kept the momentum of Jennie and Lisa’s part in the beginning verses, this definitely would’ve been their best song.
Pink Venom is my jam right now! It’s been on repeat!!! I personally liked the transition between Lisa’s and Rosé’s parts. Music is subjective and let’s see how BLACKPINK can top this song in their next release.
📕 The musical references of Pink Venom. = 😋 Jennie starts out with a reference to Biggie’s famous line “Kick in the door, wavin 44” (Jennie says Coco) 🥳 Next Lisa references Rhianna’s “Pon de Replay” with “One by one then two by two” 🤑 And also 50 Cent’s P.I.M.P. with “You couldn’t get a dollar outta me”. 🥰 Rose and Jisoo both reference Taylor Swift with “Look what you made us do”. 😎 Finally, the Jennie and Lisa rap verse is backed by a sample of Ice Cube / Easy-E’s part of “Gangsta Gangsta” by N.W.A.
Wow, I usually agree with you - but not this time. The vocals were fire. I feel they had to come out first with Blackpink-style before they could deviate on the album. It's too bad they have to be "hard" to be accepted.
When they make their songs. They have a specific ideas on which they mainly focus the build on Rap/instrumental or vocal base. So basically once they got the key part(which this song is the chorus+rap verse which highly focuses on Lisa and jennie) they start building other sections towards the song. Explain why the pre-chorus feels a bit out of place and not lift up other parts. Their producer explain this while showing HYLT creation process on one of the interview. Personally I love this song since first listen and production-wise it’s one of their best yet. The pre-chorus was okay but it could be better compared to how dope and smooth the chorus and rap verses is. I literally vibing with their chorus real hard since first listen it was so hip so chic and sassy
Great reaction and review :) Personally, I liked the song including the singing parts and rock elements (I want a full rock song for Rose and Jisoo sometimes in the future!). So I disagree with you on the singing. Instead for me the "antidrop" chorus (and switch up) didn't fully work, but I understand (and respect) why they went that direction. For me still a great (and insanely high budget) production. Not my favorite Blackpink song but also not my least favorite. Regarding "backlash": I didn't see much this time. I remember way bigger outcry against every single Blackpink MV back in 2020. First "How You Like That" was to familiar, later "Lovesick Girls" was to different. Nowadays both of these songs are considered among the best Blackpink songs ever. So this "backlash" at release is just the usual stupid nonsense. Everybody who claims this song is trash is obviously just a troll or entitled toxic fan. If you're as insanely popular as Blackpink, you will always have these at release. Don't feed the trolls! Of course nothing against different tastes or constructive criticism like yours. Thats how it should be done.
The people hating it actually like it. They are conflicted because they think they're loyal to their group but when they start liking the song they try to find every small thing they might not like and make it seem like they hate the song to fool themselves. Because kpop fandoms are cultists, they make up stories to brainwash each other. It's actually tragic. They literally sacrifice themselves to do whatever the fandom is demanding. Whether it's streaming without sleep for days or lending money to mass-buy albums to manipulate the charts, they do it because they think they owe their favs and those hungry entertainment companies like it. In Korea, those votes are literally scamming money from desperate fandoms competing with each other. China banning stan culture suddenly sounds way reasonable.
Appreciate your honest reaction... I've been keeping my thoughts on this song to myself since it released because I needed time to digest it. I didn't like it upon first listen. It felt like I was listening to 3 or 4 songs forced into one. With time, it is more digestible. But, it is still probably my least favorite BP song. Noone can deny the girls' talent. BP was the first kpop group I liked. Usually their songs hit on first listen and are cohesive. But, something in the production of this song just feels off for me personally. I really hope that the rest of their album is better.
im glad they did not take the formulaic route huge in ur face beat drop in their first chorus...they make it different and teasing, and at least giving u the one u wanted at the end with the rattata....im truly am glad they make an anti drop since the first half is so badasses, with the string jisoo playing, with the hard punch jenny, and singin lisa,, rapping part..so they balanced it all with the soft teasing chorus which i kinda like......
I also didn't get the vocals at first but the more I listened to the song, the more I started to get the idea. I also think that Rose contrasted a lot with the heavy instrumental in the first part, and Jisoo's darker tone suited more that part. But Rose at the end... wow, she killed. But you're right 100% about that part and I think you're the only reactor who said that. Thumbs up!!! P.S. I'm a forever blink so I will love whatever they do, haha.
This feels like a discussion. I like your reaction videos Linton. I discovered your channel because your reacted to Blackpink before this, subscribed, liked, notifications on for Blackpink. Personally, I try to find all the reactors' channels to support Blackpink and the reactors. Some of the reactors' channel are song writers, video editors, vocal coaches, producers, dancers, classical musicians, hip hop experts, rappers, etc. that are experts in their own fields. They give their take on each BP song/MV/performances/ and each has their own personal taste in music and songs they listen to. I like as it gives me a different perspective as my own is very limited to my own experience and expertise which is not music or related to kpop or pop songs or any genre in music. Sorry Linton but there are reactors that are @$sholels that just boils my blood. I don't bash them, I just move on without coming back to their channels. You state why you don't feel it which is why I respect you but those @$sholes do not. That type I cannot respect as there is no basis, it's just noise, and pure hate. They use their channel to vent their angst about whatever it is in their life, maybe.. They want respect but cannot give respect. And the hypocrisy of using "my honest opinion" that just cheapens the word honesty. I would to like know why your opinion is such and that's why I am watching your video. I know Blackpink and their music is not for everyone. But it is for me. I love Pink Venom as they gave us Blinks what we are asking for: a new song, different from their previous songs, Jenlisa rap, Chaesoo vocals, bad@ss but playful lyrics, the double entendre, the flow, the cadence, 2 members playing a musical instrument, harder choreography, incorporate traditional Korean musical culture and to let us know their influences. I like how each section from each member/both members goes into the other as the song unflods. Pop music, hip hop, rap did not start in South Korea or any country in Asia for that matter but we all grew up with these music as they did and I love the ode given through this song, it's nostalgic and fun to remember how great were these songs. And maybe that's why it sounded "all over the place" to some because the influences were literally all over 😂 who else but Blackpink that would put it out there? Is anyone brave enough to take this risk? Combining traditional music, rap, hip hop, pop, r&b, rock music all in one? They can take all the risk in their music, make something different, something that can change music to the direction of evolution if they feel like it and we will support. 😁🖤💗 I am excited for the 2nd album and hear how they are going to open my ears to music 😂
every one is feels the same way about pink venom it is like the perfcet version of how you like that is not good but also not that bad and also may be this is the perfcet good bye the this area it is like mix of many songs like how you like that and kill this love and crazy over you .... and the album is called born pink right and im sure that teedy and yg are expect this kind of reaction so let wait but im happy jennie is back the mv is amazing even who does not like the song will love the mv every one is win sorry for my poor english
Yeah, I thought like you too. This song was catchy. I really liked some parts and instruments. Their visuals were insane. But this song was not my favorite song from them. Anyway, I feel so happy about their comeback.
This is the most honest reaction i saw about "Pink Venom". I also thought the instrumental kinda was too much for their voice on the first part of the song of Jisoo and Rose. But overall a good song. This was definitly Jennie and Lisa song. They were perfect and Jennie cadence was so on point and adictive. Can't wait for more of these girls🥰
People who don't get the references on this song for sure won't like it! 🔥 but i agree, the pre-chorus didn't hit hard. it takes time to get use to it. This song is very much a JenLisa song. It's like it's made for their voices and cadence.
Nope, Blackpink will never keep one tempo through the whole song if it's their title track or pre-release. They are known for their changing music in a single track, that's their trademark if you don't like it, too bad. Watch their live performances, and look at how important their changing tempo is in their songs with the light shows, vocals, raps, and live band.
Totally agree with all your points, especially about Rose and Jisoo rapping instead of singing and the way the instrumentals kind of smothered their voices. I get that they wanted to create an energetic build up, but it doesn't quite pop off the way it could. Even if they'd just brought the instrumentals down in volume, making them less overbearing, it would've made a huge difference. Even so, I still really enjoyed the song.
Well, same opinion. As a blink and a huge fan myself, I just can't help but love everything they put out but I agree, Jennie and Lisa stood out in this song especially Jennie I think. She finally got the rap verses she deserves. This is definitely a song that was out of BLACKPINK's comfort zone though the same structure but they still make an effort to make it different which I think those haters are always complaining about. And what they also forgot is that this is only a pre-release single, we are not even on the main title track yet. WAIT FOR IT you hatersssss!!!
Reaction to aespa girl group.They’re the first metaverse kpop group.They have a great storyline.Reaction to their songs black mamba, next level,savage.
Beautiful vocal by Jisoo and Rosé but I felt like it could be for another song. Or at least add something in the instrumental to help the vocals and not make their parts boring. Definitely feel like Jennie and Lisa were the excitement of the song which sucks that’s it’s not all of them being highlighted in the song to their max potential. Usually I see that with groups with a lot of members but there are 4 so I think it would be easier to give each member have their own moment. Not the best song but not the worst
The visuals are on the top the music video is a classic blackpink music video and the chorus is very good but the vocal parts and rap parts are not connecting there is something wrong when you listen to the song as a whole. I love the chorus the most it's addicting it looks like they are aiming tiktok
For me.. if they use jennie vibe all along the song.. it will a khiphop genre.. they kpop.. kpop mean korean culture mix with pop or more genre.. all blackpink song is always a kpop song.. it just heavy on hiphop beat on some of they track.. like they famous track.. and they always try to bring out music that not have been done on kpop.. i like kpop because of blackpink song 1st.. i try to find other song like them.. and only found it in bigbang.. they senior..when i check they label.. YGE.. some of they artist have this different vibe or beat on they song.. but not a much as blackpink and bigbang.. i like classic piano.. the change sound on classic piano are the most thing that i like.. so.. when 1 song have that change sound more then 3 even 4 times.. i like that kinda song.. usully.. on 1 song only have 2 to change..
I knew there's something amiss with the song but I just can't point out what and now I know, I agree with the vocal part. I think the song would've been more perfect if they let it be an all out rap song since the song is inclined more on hip-hop.
I think song is more like rap, hard kind but soft vocals didn't fit but they need to put some vocals for jisoo and rose because they are not rappers so it's more like they put cause of need not cause of it fits perfect
I think your point on reaction channels are valid but at the same time if you sitting not vibing to a song for 4 mins that’s authenticity, not boring cause we see overhyped stuff on the daily. That could be a niche in itself and bring you loyal watchers cause we know you aren’t overhyping just for views. It’s a 50/50. You could be like other reactors and still be unsuccessful
REACTION BLACKPINK OSAKA 2018 , COACHELLA 2019 , TOKYO DOME 2020 , THE SHOW 2021 AND BLACKPINK VIRTUAL 2022 ...all the best performances in the world 👑🔥
I respect the song and BP and i only listen them And I agree with you totally and felt the same The first part of Rose n Jisoo wasnt smooth I dont like the sound there n the structure But overall the song is good
Actually not my fav song of them. My bias are my babies of the vocal line, but until I heard what you said I finally understood why it didn’t feel good(?). The rap line wow, they kill it! But yes, i feel something not matching with the vocal parts and the instrumental. They voices really good tho
I hear it and it sounds black pink, for the last part that's what I feel. The last I feel it was extra they already had a good chorus, but the ratata it's to much, they have good songs and i think they were thinking more for concerts, I agree with him. It a really good song but is not their besta
Another interesting factor: different reactors focus on different elements (visuals, lyrics, fashion, beat, rapping, singing, editing, choreo, etc) so depending on what facet you focus on you’re going to have a different experience with the song. It’s never as simple as “Song Good” or “Song Bad” lol
100% agree

Yes Jennie was insanely amazing in this comeback
She’s really the ace

Jennie ATE this comeback. A sick intro rap which is a great adaptation of biggie flow and shout out, then the chorus, then old school chopper flow on an old school beat. She proved why shes the main rapper
If they continue the flow of Jennie's part, it will only Jennie's part only not a whole group. I noticed that every members part has their own touch.
I agree with you. Thank you so much for the honest reaction as always 👍

I also think that Rose contrasted a lot with the heavy instrumental in the first part, and Jisoo's darker tone suited more that part. But Rose at the end... wow, she killed. But you're right 100% about that part and I think you're the only reactor who said that. Thumbs up!!!
P.S. I'm a forever blink so I will love whatever they do, haha.
This feels like a discussion. I like your reaction videos Linton. I discovered your channel because your reacted to Blackpink before this, subscribed, liked, notifications on for Blackpink. Personally, I try to find all the reactors' channels to support Blackpink and the reactors. Some of the reactors' channel are song writers, video editors, vocal coaches, producers, dancers, classical musicians, hip hop experts, rappers, etc. that are experts in their own fields. They give their take on each BP song/MV/performances/ and each has their own personal taste in music and songs they listen to. I like as it gives me a different perspective as my own is very limited to my own experience and expertise which is not music or related to kpop or pop songs or any genre in music.
Sorry Linton but there are reactors that are @$sholels that just boils my blood. I don't bash them, I just move on without coming back to their channels. You state why you don't feel it which is why I respect you but those @$sholes do not. That type I cannot respect as there is no basis, it's just noise, and pure hate. They use their channel to vent their angst about whatever it is in their life, maybe.. They want respect but cannot give respect. And the hypocrisy of using "my honest opinion" that just cheapens the word honesty. I would to like know why your opinion is such and that's why I am watching your video.
I know Blackpink and their music is not for everyone. But it is for me. I love Pink Venom as they gave us Blinks what we are asking for: a new song, different from their previous songs, Jenlisa rap, Chaesoo vocals, bad@ss but playful lyrics, the double entendre, the flow, the cadence, 2 members playing a musical instrument, harder choreography, incorporate traditional Korean musical culture and to let us know their influences. I like how each section from each member/both members goes into the other as the song unflods.
Pop music, hip hop, rap did not start in South Korea or any country in Asia for that matter but we all grew up with these music as they did and I love the ode given through this song, it's nostalgic and fun to remember how great were these songs. And maybe that's why it sounded "all over the place" to some because the influences were literally all over 😂 who else but Blackpink that would put it out there? Is anyone brave enough to take this risk? Combining traditional music, rap, hip hop, pop, r&b, rock music all in one? They can take all the risk in their music, make something different, something that can change music to the direction of evolution if they feel like it and we will support. 😁🖤💗 I am excited for the 2nd album and hear how they are going to open my ears to music 😂
Jennie rap = Delicious
every one is feels the same way about pink venom it is like the perfcet version of how you like that is not good but also not that bad and also may be this is the perfcet good bye the this area it is like mix of many songs like how you like that and kill this love and crazy over you .... and the album is called born pink right and im sure that teedy and yg are expect this kind of reaction so let wait but im happy jennie is back the mv is amazing even who does not like the song will love the mv every one is win sorry for my poor english
Yeah, I thought like you too. This song was catchy. I really liked some parts and instruments. Their visuals were insane. But this song was not my favorite song from them. Anyway, I feel so happy about their comeback.
This is the most honest reaction i saw about "Pink Venom". I also thought the instrumental kinda was too much for their voice on the first part of the song of Jisoo and Rose. But overall a good song. This was definitly Jennie and Lisa song. They were perfect and Jennie cadence was so on point and adictive. Can't wait for more of these girls🥰
what's your best blackpink song?
yeah part rose and jisoo feel like dont feet in song
Rosé 😍🔥
Subscribing :)
Lisa🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
EXACTLY! they should just let rose and jisoo do kind of rap or smth since vocals really dont sit right here
People who don't get the references on this song for sure won't like it! 🔥 but i agree, the pre-chorus didn't hit hard. it takes time to get use to it. This song is very much a JenLisa song. It's like it's made for their voices and cadence.
My personal fav parts are Lisa's
Nope, Blackpink will never keep one tempo through the whole song if it's their title track or pre-release. They are known for their changing music in a single track, that's their trademark if you don't like it, too bad. Watch their live performances, and look at how important their changing tempo is in their songs with the light shows, vocals, raps, and live band.
I wait you very long for blackpink
Totally agree with all your points, especially about Rose and Jisoo rapping instead of singing and the way the instrumentals kind of smothered their voices. I get that they wanted to create an energetic build up, but it doesn't quite pop off the way it could. Even if they'd just brought the instrumentals down in volume, making them less overbearing, it would've made a huge difference. Even so, I still really enjoyed the song.
I thought I was the only one who think that some of rose and jisoo parts were not necessary
Well, same opinion. As a blink and a huge fan myself, I just can't help but love everything they put out but I agree, Jennie and Lisa stood out in this song especially Jennie I think. She finally got the rap verses she deserves. This is definitely a song that was out of BLACKPINK's comfort zone though the same structure but they still make an effort to make it different which I think those haters are always complaining about. And what they also forgot is that this is only a pre-release single, we are not even on the main title track yet. WAIT FOR IT you hatersssss!!!
They should have made that a jenlisa sub unit because they can do everything
anticlimactic was exactly my thought upon hearing this song.
Bcoz people expect hard beat at chorus like HYLT
This is the best song from kpop
Reaction to aespa girl group.They’re the first metaverse kpop group.They have a great storyline.Reaction to their songs black mamba, next level,savage.
Imagine a blackpink video with Rose and Jisoo rappping while Jennie and Lisa on vocals.. That will be such a twist
My Opinion Blackpink and Rihanna coleb one song with Second Album this Sept...we will see..
Beautiful vocal by Jisoo and Rosé but I felt like it could be for another song. Or at least add something in the instrumental to help the vocals and not make their parts boring. Definitely feel like Jennie and Lisa were the excitement of the song which sucks that’s it’s not all of them being highlighted in the song to their max potential. Usually I see that with groups with a lot of members but there are 4 so I think it would be easier to give each member have their own moment. Not the best song but not the worst
The visuals are on the top the music video is a classic blackpink music video and the chorus is very good but the vocal parts and rap parts are not connecting there is something wrong when you listen to the song as a whole. I love the chorus the most it's addicting it looks like they are aiming tiktok
Yes bro, I agree with you. My opinion, this song not into vocals (rose,jisoo) and more to raps (Lisa,Jennie)
For me.. if they use jennie vibe all along the song.. it will a khiphop genre.. they kpop.. kpop mean korean culture mix with pop or more genre.. all blackpink song is always a kpop song.. it just heavy on hiphop beat on some of they track.. like they famous track.. and they always try to bring out music that not have been done on kpop.. i like kpop because of blackpink song 1st.. i try to find other song like them.. and only found it in bigbang.. they senior..when i check they label.. YGE.. some of they artist have this different vibe or beat on they song.. but not a much as blackpink and bigbang.. i like classic piano.. the change sound on classic piano are the most thing that i like.. so.. when 1 song have that change sound more then 3 even 4 times.. i like that kinda song.. usully.. on 1 song only have 2 to change..
I knew there's something amiss with the song but I just can't point out what and now I know, I agree with the vocal part. I think the song would've been more perfect if they let it be an all out rap song since the song is inclined more on hip-hop.
I think song is more like rap, hard kind but soft vocals didn't fit but they need to put some vocals for jisoo and rose because they are not rappers so it's more like they put cause of need not cause of it fits perfect
Queen Lalisa Ate It🥵👑
I think your point on reaction channels are valid but at the same time if you sitting not vibing to a song for 4 mins that’s authenticity, not boring cause we see overhyped stuff on the daily. That could be a niche in itself and bring you loyal watchers cause we know you aren’t overhyping just for views. It’s a 50/50. You could be like other reactors and still be unsuccessful
React to Cyberpunk - ATEEZ, please :) :) :)
REACTION BLACKPINK OSAKA 2018 , COACHELLA 2019 , TOKYO DOME 2020 , THE SHOW 2021 AND BLACKPINK VIRTUAL 2022 ...all the best performances in the world 👑🔥
why ofc??? for me is the best song
I’m just hoping the actual comeback gives Jisoo and Rosé chance to be in the actual verses since they never are. Not in title tracks anyway
For me it's one of my favs but y'a all must know that blackpink can see your reaction if you want To say somthing say it nicely
I respect the song and BP and i only listen them
And I agree with you totally and felt the same
The first part of Rose n Jisoo wasnt smooth
I dont like the sound there n the structure
But overall the song is good
🔥😍🔥
Teddy didn’t produce it btw he only took part in the writing process!
i’m so use to teddy being behind a lot of the production. thanks for clarifying 👊🏾
That is pretty informative! Because there were a lot of people trashing Teddy for this, but he didn't even produce it? Wow lol
And I agreed withe the vocals don't match the beat at all its wired
Plzzzz react to hello stranger by kaiiii plzzzz
Lisa killed it
I agree with you especially about rose's part. The vocals don't match with the instrumental for me
Next
Actually not my fav song of them. My bias are my babies of the vocal line, but until I heard what you said I finally understood why it didn’t feel good(?). The rap line wow, they kill it! But yes, i feel something not matching with the vocal parts and the instrumental. They voices really good tho
they simply bashers/anti..always finding ways to pull blackpink down..they spam alot in BP's MV
I hear it and it sounds black pink, for the last part that's what I feel. The last I feel it was extra they already had a good chorus, but the ratata it's to much, they have good songs and i think they were thinking more for concerts, I agree with him. It a really good song but is not their besta
