  1. Not a very educated guess on my part, but I actually think he did just bring his placement forward. You can kind of get that sound in the first vid if you do it all from your throat, but if he's been moving it to his mask then it would get brighter. I am not a man, though. XD
  2. Well, Kenzie would be on the shit list for Wolf. XD I'm not too sure about YYJ, but there was some sniping about how he's ~projecting~ himself on Exo since he's no longer a singer himself. (But I might be mixing this up with other SM fandoms griping about his title track work for them.) Ryan Jhun is the twit who kept dropping hints on Exo's comeback (for months and months and months now) that of course never came true because he doesn't actually work for SM or anything, and then he wound up only writing one of the most mediocre songs on the album. He's also the one who warned ppl who were downloading and spreading the links that he'd be calling the FBI on them, so basically an ass all around. >.> Well, since chocopanda has been slacking, I guess I should do it. >.> I mean, it's not really going to be that hard since there's a tumblr that tracks everything b.a.p and I just have to look under the fancams for stuff. Of course where Daehyun is Youngjae will also be, but I am a little worried for him--unless it turns out his technique is actually better or something (my ears are not particularly refined, anyway XD) but I... really... doubt this is the case. ._.
  3. Did she really? There are a bunch of other names there... although hers is the first. YYJ has composition credits for IGAB because he tweaked it a bit... but he seems to be last. Well then. I think Exo fans might put her on the shit list alongside YYJ and Ryan Jhun. XD Oh yeah, somewhere in the great mass of tier 3. ~.~ (I guess it could be my job to round up acceptable performances to evaluate, now... they went on tour so there's a decent amount of recent material.)
  4. Also, really I just wanted to be sure that Daehyun's G#5 screech wouldn't count against him and kick him down from mediocre. >.> (... he is at least mediocre, isn't he? )
  5. I think it's a kenzie song in the way IGAB is a YYJ song, though. I hope she had fun with those lyrics.
  6. Well, last time we were kind of like "has to still be active", so... Rain has been in the military a while, and Se7en just went, so maybe we should drop them. (The Trax dude isn't there, either....)
  7. 'Cause they're promoting as 12 and they need things for the other 8 members to do. XD;; I think guitargeekette theorized it was written for TVXQ, so if Changmin did most of the singing and Yunho did all the rapping bits like how he sounded in KYHD... seems legit. orz (You hadn't heard it yet?) EDIT: It's Oolf, get it right!!
  8. Is this still going to be based on the middle voice? And what is that, again? (Range- or register-wise?) lulz, I think it will be interesting with the korean version of Wolf, since Luhan doesn't get any glory notes but he has to sing a lot more... forcefully than he did in M to match the other 3 when he has chorus lines.
  9. Oh, I think that's just fans guessing. Like, it was fairly obvious who should be what in K, Chanyeol is main rapper, Sehun and Kai can't really sing, so of the other 3 Suho was obviously < Baekhyun and D.O. And then when you transport that over to M, Chen does more of everything than Luhan, Luhan did more than Lay, Xiumin sang a little more than Tao and Krees and won second place in whatever competition it was that landed him as a trainee in SM in the first place, so~~ But I still haven't seen official profiles from SM about it. I dunno why they bumped him up to lead (I don't think anyone thought of him as lead prior to XOXO), but I suspect it's due to line allocation in Wolf, and I especially don't want to listen to Wolf in mandarin to figure it out. >.>
  10. Alright, that's all fine. Initially I was responding to you, but someone else jumped in after I clarified what I meant by "individuals", and misinterpreted what I meant by "all". XD So at that point I probably wasn't talking to you. (I did say somewhere else that it doesn't count ppl who haven't admitted it to themselves. But honestly I am uncomfortable with insisting someone is gay when they don't actually feel themselves to be, assuming there isn't great external pressure for them not to be. Not that anyone here is necessarily doing that. But there is at least as much variation in straight ppl as gay ppl, so....)
  11. Where are their profiles (can't find it on the website)? I don't think it ever said on their official website, nor was there official word from SM prior to XOXO.... On their profiles before XOXO, Luhan's said his specialty was rubix cube. >.>
  12. I vote no more than 4 for all of Exo. Chen, D.O, Baekyun are obvious. Then either Luhan who is next in the vocal line in M, or Lay who ppl think might actually be ok. Depends on who ppl can find the most material for. (Probably Luhan.) Some will probably get kicked off for lack of evaluable material anyway....
  13. Sunnyhill only has 1 guy and I'm not even sure he sings... not for their lead singles after they broke out, anyway. I want to say that ppl probably don't care much.
  14. list is a bit disorganized this way, maybe you should take ahmin's and we'll lop ppl off from there. XD Like I don't think we need to evaluate Xiumin and Suho for Exo... eh, even if Lay might actually be ok, just go with Baekhyun/Chen/D.O, I guess. What are your asterisks for? XD * = I haven't heard much ** = no really *** = que?
  15. Random quote from comments on that article. Yeeeap.... orz ANYWAY, BACK TO KPOP. Um, I've got nothing. Like I said, I don't think my ships are real, they're just cute. :(
  16. Just curious, are you in the US? I am wondering if that really applies to Canada circa 2005....
  17. Although, I guess it also depends on if this thread is operating on identification, behavior, or attraction. If it's on attraction, then I think 10% is still applicable to the general population, and the circumstances of the job might amplify that as well (alongside it just being the entertainment industry).
  18. Um, it's not like ppl conducting these surveys have no idea that LGBT may not want to out themselves. If anything, it seems they try to be generous on assigning people (since some of them are like "do you do this" or "do you consider this" rather than simply ending with "are you gay/straight/bi?") http://williamsinstitute.law.ucla.edu/wp-content/uploads/Gates-How-Many-People-LGBT-Apr-2011.pdf ^the study in question... it actually includes international surveys as well. o.o The results for Canada... o.o
  19. I don't really think so. This isn't "public", it is a presumably anonymous survey. Numbers should be higher than for those out of the closet. Like the... oh, I forget what it was called. Republicans were desperate that ppl were lying to the polls that they were going to vote for Obama, because of course it was inconceivable that they would lose. They reasoned that respondents were just claiming they would vote for Obama because they might appear racist if they didn't. There was no such vast swathe of people who were unwilling to admit they were going to vote for McCain because it might appear racist, of course. Likewise there's no reason to lie on an anonymous survey about your sexual identity, unless you haven't really admitted it to yourself either. (Assuming no one's looking over your shoulder.) Not that I don't think it will probably go up a little, because the more it becomes acceptable the more ppl might think about as applying to themselves rather than not question that they might not be totally heterosexual. But I think in the UK (I don't have a source for this) a recent one was about 5%. Besides, the results are for ppl 18-44... I don't think the upper end of that demographic is that much different from the low end. (And it's more like 3-4% when you include bisexuals.) (Well, there's more than one study referenced here....)
  20. When I said "all" I didn't mean everyone in kpop, I meant everyone speculated about in this thread. ~.~ So? I wanted to respond to her on my own. I'm not sure anyone actually made the point, I made.
  21. Actually, no. That is what I meant when I said "most ppl think there are many more gay ppl than there actually are". 10% for the overall population is way high. The study that generated that statistic included all people that have remotely veered from complete straightness, but those sorts of thing don't make people identify as gay/bi (even to themselves). I don't think even it being the entertainment industry would boost it to as high as some speculate. (The comments on this article are mostly safe to read, I think, and have some additional insight.)
  22. Hm, I've been curious. Has the bias poll caught up (numbers-wise) to what it was previously? Do the results look the same as it did on H8? o.O Hrm, I remember that Zelo specifically was supposed to be stylish, and Daehyun was supposed to be a bumpkin. XD Oh well. I still think they might force the maknae to wear the most objectionable things, heheh. (But whyyyyyyy is there a company that makes bracelets called "spermstore"....)
  23. I have seen someone put out a list of who they think are gay/bi, and like 50% of some groups were on it. Unlikely, even in the entertainment industry. Obviously not everyone in the thread thinks the same. I don't know why you think I assume you all do. re: crossdressing, why do you have to wonder when I was responding to this when I said that. >.>
  24. This is not a thread about "what makes someone a successful singer in the industry" because that can be anything. They just need to be able to attract fans. This is a thread about "who uses good vocal technique". "Resonance" is a technical term, ie. jargon; it does not mean the same thing in vocal pedagogy as in ordinary english, so don't even try with the "if you are making noise you are resonating". Hey, ya'll missed out on opportunities to post vids of Bom blowing it live. kongwee even asked for some. I love those. Why are you dropping the ball, huh? XD
