These stages are much better imo. I love the set design and the outfits for the DDDD stage. This choreo really is just so lackluster... they literally just stand around or walk to place half the time :( I know they're capable of doing so much more! The best part is the dance break until the end after Rose's part.

That was so much better
I loved the previous outfits but it seemed like they had a lot more fun. They need a better choreographer though

Rosé looked wonderful


Side note: everytime I see a ref./mention/clothes related to paco rabanne I can't stop laughing but it might just be a french thing

Forever young could have been a decent song without that horrendous chorus and horns

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

this was better, but the choreo to dddd is so freaking bad, wow. props to lisa and jisoo for trying to keep those stages alive (especially jisoo during forever young, it seems she really likes that song). jennie isn't even trying lmao i guess rose is trying but it's not working. i'll admit though they do seem quite tired and that bad choreo doesn't help. i watched playing with fire staged for comparison and they looked much much more energized there, i hope they're ok.

I remember when we all thought Jisoo was just here for the CF checks and drama roles but she’s been the only member with consistent energy and never looks bored or or over it. Even when they’ve been performing the same 5 songs for 2 years.

is jennie sick or smth? she seems really off yesterday and today.

[jasmineakaiumi.livejournal.com]

I wondered the same. like it flows together (or rather doesn't) so awkwardly that it's really unpleasing to look at lmao

[pearlychoco.livejournal.com]

lisa's shirt in the forever young stage needs to burn asap

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

Damn you guys weren't kidding, they really look tired AF. A little better during forever young, which remains a much better title track than DDDD.

Doesn't YG have them on a strict diet? They are probably just really hungry or something.

i only have time to watch dddd stage right now but wow their outfits are totally ripped from 2ne1's closet. each member is cosplaying as their counterpart. i always loved their fashion tho so

[friedchickeneu.livejournal.com]

they all look gorgeous and i love the stage design for dddd but man, idk if it's because of the choreography, their lack of stage presence and energy (they just look so damn tired - please feed them gdi), i'm just not really feeling the songs, or if it's all three but i just wish we had a better comeback since we had waiting for so long. oh well, at least they're doing well on the charts (as per usual).

Why is Jennie wearing just one high boot?

[u-niverse.livejournal.com]

the choreographer for DDDD is Kyle Hanagami, who's really renowned and have been choreographing for many celebrities. i think the girls just can't seem to pull the choreo off. perhaps they need backup dancers or something...they are all so petite and with only 4 of them on stage, just seemed to lack the 'wow' factor. though i think the performances today are better than yesterday's.

[showminomoney.livejournal.com]

So you think this choreo is actually good?

[bubble-monkey9.livejournal.com]

jennie reminds me of krystal. they've got that perma-resting bitch face and the stage presence of a wet sock. I still think she's gorgeous though.

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

d the stage presence of a wet sock

lololol

[weneedmedicine.livejournal.com]

For such a fun song, the stages for DDD are awful. It feels so empty? Also, I’ve never been one to concern myself over their weight/they could just be naturally skinny, but I hope they’re eating well and resting and enjoying their 20s.

[tiffturn01.livejournal.com]

It's probably just me being wierd, but I really don't like that their skirts are always so short you can see their shorts underneath. It feels a little pervy to me because their are a lot of up skirt shots.

[sjtaazrz.livejournal.com]

MTE

and Jennie's shorts match her boots (almost like a part of the outfit), so I don't like how planned out it was that people will inevitably see up her dress. It's definitely skevy to me.

[oh-folk.livejournal.com]

Someone let Jennie take a nap! God bless Lisa for going all out though.

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

I don't see what yall are seeing. They don't seem dead. They can't pull this choreo off for shit though and make it look boring. Decent performance.

[krispy-bacon.livejournal.com]

Ok having watched their Forever Young performance...it's so weird. They obviously enjoy it more and have more energy but they manage to still appear bored with the choreo at the same time lol

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I know they've always been petite but I seriously think part of the reason their energy has been so dead this comeback is their weight. They've essentially been professional models for the past year, especially Jenny, so we haven't seen them gain weight like most idols do when on hiatus. Jenny has especially lost a lot, she's almost as thin as Lisa is now.

This choreo plain sucks, considering how drop heavy the choruses are the girls could definitely go with harder-hitting moves

[minyquai.livejournal.com]

They honest to God look like developing teenagers I am so sad :/
I was kinda wating for them to catch up to their strong image, physique-wise.

I am v glad people are actually talking about this though. Let them eatttt.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

The choreo is really not good. It’s like they couldn’t decide if they wanted to make it complicated and showstopping or easy to copy and catchy/trendy and ended up doing neither.

Most of these girls have trained for 4+ years and we’ve seen them dance hard and in sync this doesn’t come close to the potential they have.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

stage looks expensive af but girls look kinda off ... why "lets look dead on stage" is a thing for idols??

[angerfish.livejournal.com]

I feel like every time I listen to this this song I get really into it until the Rose and Jisoo pre-chorus kills the momentum. And it's been even worse for me in the live stages. It's not their fault; Jisoo in particular is working really hard to sell the song. Just something about how that part is incorporated into the song seems to dampen the energy. The meh choreography just adds to it.

I’m just here to say that the thumbnail for DDDD looks like a fried meme and I’m here for it

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

They are terrible dancers. they should stick to posing/small movements/walking like in their previous songs. It was less evident.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

They seem like they don't like the songs at all.

If they're out of energy, could be because of possible crash diets they went on prior to the comeback and those entirely way too short skirts they're wearing. One hard move and we can see everything. When will stylists stop that?

The choreo isn't good at all. I'm sure YG is responsible.

[jyusou.livejournal.com]

i've been watching the perfs and tbh these performances may seem lackluster because of the energy levels. and i don't mean that the girls haven't been giving their effort, because i can see that they are. but the thing is, to pull off both songs + dances in a way that will make it engaging, the group really needs to bring it up a notch and go that much harder. because right now they're executing this with their standard energy levels - it's not enough to make people who watch the perf go "wow!".

to be fair, the choreography for both songs could have been better. if they were good to begin with, perhaps there would be no need for them to go harder, and be able to execute this with their standard energy levels. but it is what it is. that, and can't yg afford them some backup dancers with this kind of choreo?? honestly.

also, jisoo is really trying her hardest to plaster that smile on her face lmao, bless her heart.
