I Promise You Media

1 week ago

Earlier than we get going with the dreaded Sign Tune competitors, we’ve acquired just a few extra introductory performances to get by means of.

We’re again with the second episode of the “Planet C” half of this season. Technically, although, it’s episode 4 of the season. Complicated? In fact!

PREVIOUS RECAPS: Episode One // Episode Two // Episode Three

Boys Planet Staff

It is a workforce of trainees who had been eradicated within the first season of Boys Planet. I don’t keep in mind any of them, however that’s not saying a lot since that season was a complete two years in the past. One man has additionally dedicated the cardinal Ok-pop sin of “being outdated.” The efficiency itself was fairly meh.

Dang Hong Hai

That is one other trainee from final season that I can’t keep in mind in any respect. He’s fairly charming and I salute his use of razzle dazzle props, however I don’t see him going too far.

Boy Story

Right here’s the group the producers have been hyping up – a JYP C-Pop act I’ve by no means been in a position to get into. A lot of the songs I’ve sampled have been fairly dangerous so I can’t say I’ve acquired a ton of anticipation for his or her stage. Nonetheless, dangerous materials doesn’t imply the precise performers are dangerous. They’re positively extra polished than a lot of the different teams and needs to be given a shot at redemption. I don’t know the way massive their fan base is, although.

Operating these twin Planet Ok and Planet C episodes is so bizarre as a result of they’re much more repetitive than regular. Critically… now we have to listen to them clarify the sign music stage twice? Introduce the sign music twice? Go over all the foundations and norms of the present twice?? Immediate quick ahead.

(At the least Planet C’s outfits are a bit nicer wanting than Planet Ok’s)

We get the standard behind-the-scenes of the blokes’ rehearsals for the sign music. A few of the extra “wild” trainees are chastised for being too free spirited and never listening to instructions. Given the best way the Ok-pop business works, this is smart. And although “free spirit” can simply cross over to “impolite,” it additionally tends to be a top quality that makes for attention-grabbing artists and attention-grabbing artwork. Not that this present is about artwork…

The deadpan “attractive” man is again and I’m actually beginning to discover his shtick fairly humorous. His singing’s terrible, although. I imply, the vocal academics want some baseline of expertise to start out out with, proper?

This shouldn’t be a controversial query to ask, however why are there even contestants at this stage of the present who’re legitimately tone deaf? There are… quite a lot of them this 12 months.

He didn’t convey scrumptious tanghulu with him. Benefit: Hanbin.

You’ll should go elsewhere for detailed evaluation of those particular person checks. Like final week, I simply can’t put myself by means of listening to the identical fifteen seconds of this music again and again (usually sung utterly out of key). It’s dangerous. Nonetheless, there have been many flips and gimmicks and “Mr. Attractive” really did fairly properly all issues thought-about.

In the long run, the killing half/middle of the Planet C sign music went to Zhou An Xin after a vote from the judges and trainees. Then, we had a tearful elimination as a bunch of the trainees had been despatched residence. Concern not. “Mr. Attractive” is protected for now. Gird your loins, I suppose.

We’re again to at least one episode beginning this week, thank goodness. Nonetheless, my recap shall be delayed as a result of I’ll be touring over the weekend and I’ll not be watching this crap on the aircraft.
