i hope so =/ honestly how last minute did they add this girl... she isn't in any of the teaser photos, not even the MV. this company is saving every penny, they couldn't even snap one group photo with her? not even just one for social media purposes? lmao
and the beginning of the mv says "teddy riley: the first expansion in asia" im screaming bc teddy very publicly slammed them 4 years ago??? (http://omonatheydidnt.livejournal.com/6709723.html)
yeah i think its pretty clear that she's just being used as a gimmick. i saw people on twitter speculating that she's actually just a feature and not an actual member but idek
The label says she's an official member, her twitter says she's in Seoul and apparently she will be doing music shows
Still, it would have been better to scrap this video and film one when she actually arrived. It would have been a lot of stress and work but lbr the video isn't that complex, they could have done it and it's their own fault for rushing things. I feel sorry for the girls and Alexandra but I'm looking forward to seeing her on music shows
yeah i really wanna see her on music shows! and i hope this all works out for her, but im just inherently suspicious of this whole thing since people have mentioned how shady their company is and how rania don't have a lot of hype rn. i almost hope more for her sake that's she's not completely under whatever sketchy label rania is under and she's still primarily under def jam otherwise girl is just gonna go into debt doing this
lmao amazing. this company stays shady. after they debuted with dr feel good the first member they kicked out was due to the girl having visa issues, good to know they havent learned
THAT SAID i actually kinda like this and im enjoying the kpop circa 2010 styling
oh, rania. so glad you're back but i'm a biiiiit disappointed. it's just a very run of the mill girl group song, mv, choreography and styling. none of that distinct rania tackiness that i love so much.
but i did appreciate all the squatting. wouldn't be a rania dance without some wide, open leg squatting and accompanying mean mugging♥
they all looked amazing tho. hyeme brought tears to my eyes. di looked amazing with that jet black hair. and bless them for using that one clip of her smirking and biting her lip no fewer than three times, lmao.
my excitement for Alex is going down rly fast. It's not even her fault this whole thing looks rushed af. I'm very curious on how their performances are going to look like /eyes emoji
as for the song, it's p nice? maybe a tiny bit dated
sfjakfhakjfhak let me go delete that post i made about her coz I see this label is about to EMBARRASS me!!! Anyway clearly the record label is broke, she's in Seoul now, they couldn't have done something different? Or at the very least, did a quick photoshoot and made a bigger deal of telling people that visa issues stopped her being in the video. This is very messy and disorganized, not a good way to introduce her to people. Anyway she'll be on MCountdown so hopefully that will keep the press on them otherwise the rest of the group will suffer for the label's foolishness.
I liked the actual song, it's fun! And the dancing they do near the end is really cool, I'm always here for some hair whipping. Those outfits tho...that's a no-no.
They filmed her rapping her parts already. They could have integrated it into the full video. I wonder why they didn't. I know they need extra time to get things approved before they can air or even post things online.
Doesn't seem like Alex is a very valued member of the group, her rap was longer in the teaser. And there's already five girls in the Raina five. I liked the day glo shoes.
Yo this song is a jam. All of the girls are so pretty. I was hoping to see Alex in this mv tho oh well Looking forward to seeing the whole unit perform on music shows.
on another note, i kind of hope that mismatched shoe thing becomes a trend (to an extent, lmao) it works well w/ some sneaker shoe designs and socks in quirky cute way, i could see it transferring well to simple pumps/etc.
its not rania w/o a mess but i love the song the eng parts are FIRE idk how alex being added five minutes before comeback is gonna work but #protectalex i didnt know i missed them that much but omfg i am so excited they look AMAZING SdFHLZHJAG LD
Okay so who exactly are the new members because i see some faces i dont recognize haha and which members left? (mind you i haven't really looked into Rania since their dr.feel good days tho i do know the thai member left!)
lmao i just watched their comeback stage and it's sf confusing. alex does her rap at the beginning and then just disappears until her second part towards the end of the song, then she's there for the rest of the stage but always behind whoever's in the center?? wtf
The song didn't blow my mind but I'm glad Alex was included; it's refreshing to have an English-speaker rapping English parts that make sense and not an "idol rapper" (for lack of a better term) since she actually did rap before. I hope she's received well and they use her more.
