I'm trying to imagine a Twice-style cover of this song sounding good but coming up short

Regardless of that I am fully here for this styling, it's great, they all look amazing. Jeongyeon in the red with bluish hair! Chaeyeon's beret! The turtlenecks!

I mean. It's not good.

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

jesus. I thought "For sure, it can't be THAT bad."

It was.

It was bad.

From reactions I was expecting TSwift September level bad, but it wasn't horrible. And seeing female singers struggle to hit the notes he did effortlessly as a child made me appreciate how amazing a singer MJ was.

i listened to it and they should have kept it to themselves tbh

[kenziekinz09.livejournal.com]

Of all the songs to cover.... JYP could have let them sleep instead.

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

which song are they covering? the one by cher lloyd??

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

Nope, Jackson 5

[jyushimatsu.livejournal.com]

Yikes

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

they look super cute but this really highlights their lack of musicality and vocal ability. i know it's not completely fair cuz it's in english but wow this was rly not good :/

[myrrhcat.livejournal.com]

oh okay. thank god lol

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

I can't even imagine what a Cher Lloyd cover from them would sound like haha...dodged that bullet

[jaequeeragenda.livejournal.com]

aww lol it's not that bad lol the song is very fitting for their image and their voices sound like their usual so its expected? i wasn't expecting like hyorin level of work xD

when i have low expectations, everything is passable :P

[carazhan.livejournal.com]

...well the second half of the song is passable at least. the first half i feel like could have been improved quite a bit with better line distribution. normally mina and tzuyu are pretty weak vocalists but it seemed like the vocal line struggled enough with the english pronunciation that it was bringing their energy and overall vocal level down?

also i'm not gonna lie, there's so little sana/momo/chaeyoung in this that i can't even tell if giving them so little was warranted. chaeyoung sounded good from what she had though so.. i'm a little perplexed.

yet another for the pile of twice's japanese releases that i tragically cannot enjoy.

It's not the abomination I expected from the comments but it's still not great, lol.

If this had been a Jungyeon/Nayeon/Jihyo subunit it would have been a nice harmless watered-down kpop version. Still bland compared to the original, but harmless. Sounds like Chaeyoung should have got more of the lower-toned lines, her voice seems more stable than Sana/Tzuyu/etc. The ad libs were just plain terrible & far too high for Jihyo, should have been Nayeon falsetto or something.

Well, at least they all look great. I wish they'd saved this styling for a comeback.

[myungung.livejournal.com]

oh dear, this isn't good at all. sigh, what were they thinking? I also didn't like Jeongyeon's hair colour when matched with her clothes or the MV colour scheme

[oh-folk.livejournal.com]

Sometimes I think JYP hates them.

[kenziekinz09.livejournal.com]

Upon further review I’m giving this 2 stars for the attempt at harmonizing. Dassit

I’m still all the way up nayeon’s ass tho

[cxxl.livejournal.com]

I’m calling the cops.

[hpn88.livejournal.com]

i'm so confused about why this exists...

[xlovexlessxtyx.livejournal.com]

Jeongyeon needs to be more prevalent in Twice's music, what a beautiful voice.

Nayeon on the other hand, is somehow sounding worse with each release. It's like she's not really skilled, she just happens to be loud.

[lostintheechoes.livejournal.com]

are they finally letting jeongyeon grow out her hair?!

[ashdevilrun23.livejournal.com]

oh... this is... not it...

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

Momo just needs to be turned into a rapper permanently. I can deal with idols who can't sing if they have pleasant tones (tzuyu for example) but momo's voice.. lawd

the song is too high for them. I know we all sound like a broken record at this point but their songs are always so high pitched and they sound so strained. why, jyp, why

[katheli.livejournal.com]

I guess I know where BTS' producers get their "the more you struggle the better it sounds" mentality from

[kimbafierce.livejournal.com]

some ppl in here are... intense. chill yall, this is nothing but a harmless cover. if you don't like it no one is gonna force you to listen to it. it's okay.
