Earlier than we get going with the dreaded Sign Music competitors, we’ve acquired a number of extra introductory performances to get by way 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 group of trainees who had been eradicated within the first season of Boys Planet. I don’t bear 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 Okay-pop sin of “being previous.” The efficiency itself was fairly meh.
Dang Hong Hai
That is one other trainee from final season that I can’t bear 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 must be given a shot at redemption. I don’t understand how huge their fan base is, although.
Operating these twin Planet Okay and Planet C episodes is so bizarre as a result of they’re much more repetitive than regular. Significantly… we have now to listen to them clarify the sign tune stage twice? Introduce the sign tune twice? Go over all the foundations and norms of the present twice?? Instantaneous quick ahead.
(At the very least Planet C’s outfits are a bit nicer trying than Planet Okay’s)
We get the same old behind-the-scenes of the fellows’ rehearsals for the sign tune. A number of the extra “wild” trainees are chastised for being too free spirited and never listening to instructions. Given the best way the Okay-pop business works, this is smart. And although “free spirit” can simply cross over to “impolite,” it additionally tends to be a high quality that makes for attention-grabbing artists and attention-grabbing artwork. Not that this present is about artwork…
The deadpan “horny” man is again and I’m truthfully beginning to discover his shtick fairly humorous. His singing’s terrible, although. I imply, the vocal lecturers 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… loads of them this yr.
He didn’t convey scrumptious tanghulu with him. Benefit: Hanbin.
You’ll should go elsewhere for detailed evaluation of those particular person assessments. Like final week, I simply can’t put myself by way of listening to the identical fifteen seconds of this tune again and again (typically sung utterly out of key). It’s dangerous. Nonetheless, there have been many flips and gimmicks and “Mr. Attractive” truly did fairly nicely all issues thought-about.
Ultimately, the killing half/heart of the Planet C sign tune 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 dwelling. Worry not. “Mr. Attractive” is secure for now. Gird your loins, I suppose.
We’re again to 1 episode beginning this week, thank goodness. Nonetheless, my recap can be delayed as a result of I’ll be touring over the weekend and I’ll not be watching this crap on the airplane.
