you watched it LIVE?!! I still can’t get myself to listen to the song. After hearing the first ten seconds, I bailed :flushed::sob: I feel the same with WayV’s Love Talk

DREAM is my fave sub-unit… I love the entire Hot Sauce album. I really like good vocals and harmony, so DREAM easily won with the amazing layered vocals they show off every single time.
LOVE this live version of ā€œMy Youthā€ā€¦

At the SuperM concert, it was one of the in between songs, they all did at least one solo song, and Taeyeong & Ten did Baby Don’t Stop. When I read the setlist I was like :arrow_down:

Baby Don’t Stop is not as seductive as Love Talk, it’s mostly in Korean so the lyrics aren’t as overt, unless you understand Korean, as opposed to Love Talk which is full English so there’s no doubt what they’re saying, Baby Don’t Stop is also faster. Ten & Taeyeong dance through most of it and the way they move is fascinating to watch, they’re both so fluid and Ten is so flexible, but it’s not really seductive, they are shirtless under a dressy jacket a couple times. If my innocent youngest were awake I’d ask her if it’s hard or embarrassing to watch, but she’s not.

If you want to listen to it and sort of check out the video you could watch the NCT Dream reaction of it.

LOL I love the way they pronounce it… I remember when I first found out it was ā€œChittaphon Leechaiyapornkulā€ and spent a whole day trying to spell and pronounce it :joy:

It is so different that it is difficult to relate to. You can’t really sing it. You can’t dance to it. There is no melody that you can sing along to, It has an odd rhythm and abrupt bar breaks. It is jarring - however some people like that kind of shakeup. I don’t. Personally, I don’t care for it.

It has 42,000 dislikes but I never downvote anyone’s song since they put their effort into it. I just won’t like it.

NCT - Sticker

For comparison, Now here’s a song by Woosung that recently came out. It has a smoother sound. finished bars, and a rhythm you can dance to. The transitions are smoother rather than abrupt.

Woosung - Dimples

Welcome Our Barista - Taeyong - NCT

Well, I wouldn’t say that I liked the song that much. It was OK. More that I don’t understand why the dislike was so strong. Thanks for your input.

Yes, it does seem to be a polarizing song. Thanks for your feedback.

Thanks for your comments and insight. It is a different song for sure.

I watched a little of the 2021 Grammy Awards (rerun) and I know there was COVID-19 but it still made me sad to see so little ā€œlive vocalsā€ performances. And when they did sing, many were using AR or other aids. I guess the days when performers would sing without autotune in the mics or other aids (like backing tracks) are gone forever. It is really hard to find true live vocal performances these days. Makes me sad. And most of the nominees for the songs…disappointing for me. When are we going to see some real songwriting when it comes to composition again?

Still on my quest to find some actual live vocals in the Korean Music Shows. Immortal Songs seems to be the only one who has a few people who sing live without any ā€œaidsā€, although a lot of the performers on that show do. I think You Hee Yeol Sketchbook has some people that do live singing without aids but I found out Sketchbook doctors the vocals in the editing, even when they don’t need it.:frowning_face: Guess the only place there is a chance to hear some true voices is at concert. Too bad.

To cleanse my ears after those Grammy performances, I just went to listen to one of the best Grammy nominated songs ever, in my opinion. So simple, but just so haunting melody. And the lyrics,heartbreaking but speaking truth. Maybe we can’t all relate to the exact circumstances, but the feelings resonate, and Tracy Chapman’s voice is just so real. A masterpiece. For anyone interested, Here’s a live performance from 1988.

Here’s another Live performance from 1988. I think the sound has been ā€œenhancedā€ in post editing by the uploader because you can hear everything more clearly, but I believe Tracy’s voice is hers and not Autotune.
