  1. I'm surprised at how "low" the votes are this time tho. CXK has gone from nearly 23M to only 17M. I thought it'd be the opposite. More votes since we are very close to the finals ._.

     

    I assumed it was because they reset the votes and there was a shorter voting period? And drop to two-pick.

     

    #7 votes were 3,194,539 and #15 were 1,366,589, so not that close however the guys around the 10/11 spot are actually really close in votes to making it into the group

     

     

    hallelujah, i really hope he makes it into the group

     

     

    i agree, same taste in visuals and rappers, plus i agree with all the vocalists you've mentioned

     

    Okay, good. Was gonna give up hope if there was too big of a gap between 10/11 spot and top 9. 

  2. He never got screen time outside his performances... ohdearplz.pngNow we are discovering his sassy and savage side too late

     

    Xukun is not being the centre would honestly ruin the balance of the team.

     

    I think Lin Yanjun is set to enter top 9, look at his rise (11 spots) & he's getting plenty of screen time these days. Maybe it's the dark horse script

     

    I don't think ZZT is going to drop out of top 9. His fan activity on social media is pretty good.

     

    Xukun needs to be the center. It would honestly feel really weird if he wasn't. The group really needs a person who is an experienced performer to be the center. I think Nongnong is still a little too raw, and his performance on stage isn't as 'wow' as Xukun. 

     

    amgplz.png  I didn't remember that LYJ was ranked so much lower last time. That's a really big jump, and he's definitely peaking on the show at the right time. His screentime has gradually gone up and up. Hoping the momentum will push him into TOP 9. He is a great visual and seems to be a very responsible leader-type + a vocal. 

     

    Saw the ranking someone posted, but does anyone happen to know if the gap between the votes is really big? For like the boys ranked around #7-#15?

     

    ^^Not the most unpopular opinion to be honest. WZY is definitely a better rapper imo than Justin/CXK/FCC. I think it's a little hard to judge whether he's as good as Xiao Gui because he hasn't had the most time to show off his rapping skills. rlytearpls.png  The selfless bugger keeps giving up all his parts. So honestly, he's the last rapper I would want to switch to being a vocal, but I think he's a better vocal than Justin, which is why I lumped him in there. My favorite rapper is actually Xingjie, but it looks like there's no way he's making it in. warstarplz.png

  3. Hello everyone !!

     

    Started watching the show, I think it was because of a funny Jackson video then a few funny videos of the show and BOOM, I got SNATCHED ! Binge-watched the 9 episodes yesterday !

    It's soooooo much better than P101 ! It's a little long sorry (I tried to put rambling in spoilers to spare those who'll read that).

     

    The show : the editing and captions are pure gold, like GOLD, no drama, no evil editing (even though screentime is still a b*tch but with 100 contestants and powerful companies in the mix, there's so much you can do I guess), angel edits feel less in your face and a little more deserved, each perf got equal screetime and the rythm was definitively better handled (I never got bored). Also, I feel like the voting, especially live, is quite fair and definitively to my liking (until very recently but then, most trainees left are all very deserving...).

     

    The mentors : They're young and mostly chosen as K-popers baits (worked with me) but daaaamn they did good ? Especially Yixing, who I deeply admire for handling the main role like a boss.

     

    Like 2 scenes that made me applause : when he refused to give the Thai trainee whose name is lost on me a better grade because he felt "responsible of him" and it meant rewarding skills and hard work first. And when lots of trainees didn't sing for their grade reevaluation and he got angry and disappointed but managed to give his message without hurting the trainees too much. He has so much integrity. Respect.

     

    And Jiequong agreeably surprised me : she was absolutely unforgiving during dance practices. I could really feel the hardness of the training they got in Korea in her teaching. 

     

    The trainees : Firstly, I got snatched by their visuals !!! Like they were so much better looking than the P101 trainees (but honestly, even more than lots of debuted Korean idols, Chinese people are BEAUTIFUL !). And they seem so more easy-going/confident ! The memes, the jokes, the savageness, their interactions, the bromances... +++ And the talent ? The mentors were harsher than in P101 imo ! When I saw F grade learning the dance, I was like ? Pretty decent.

     

    My top trainees :

    ULTIMATE :

    Zhengting : Talented dancer, handsome AND pretty, funny ("I want to press them on your face" "Am I never going to escape the cute concept ?" "Fan BingBing") Enough said. If he doesn't make it, I'll snap.

     

    FAVES (no order) :

    Xukun : Well, excuse me Sir ? At this point, who can sincerely say with a straight face that boy doesn't deserve the hype ? I've never seen such stage presence... ever ? And he lacks nothing ? And manages to stay simple ? Whoaaaa.

    Justin : 16 ? Sixteen ? SIXTEEN ? Xukun has competition, no joke. And he's hilariously wild on top of that ? That's a yes from me.

    Zhangjing : I have a soft spot for hilarious talented people it seems, who can blame me ?

    Qhanzhe : May I cry ? Please ? Snatched me in The Orc perf, like my eyes couldn't stop following him ! ANd it kept happening everywhERE, all the TiME !

     

    LOVE (no order) :

    Yanchen : I may cry a lot tomorrow. Also couldn't stop looking at him during Nunchucks. Talented dancer and his visuals ? My top visual, definitively.

    Zeren : DON'T TALK TO ME, OK ? Honestly, tomorrow's gonna be a hard blow for me...

    Xingjie : His relationship with Xiao Gui is too cute. And he's crazy talented (great dancer, vocalist AND rapper ? bissh ! Let the undercut grow a little though, please)

    Zhouri : I mean, he's beautiful ? I'm shameless, I know.

    Chengcheng : I'm not a "big company" stan I swear but I CAN'T HELP mYSELF. Bunch of crazy good-looking talented hyenas...

     

    LIKE : Qin Fen, Yanjun, Ziyi, Xiao Gui, Xikan, Ruibin, Chaoze

     

    Perfs :

    Group battles :

    - The Ork (Team A - the chorus is a little too strong but otherwise this song is a BOP, also Qhanzhe)

    - both Team A and Team B scarf dance in The Great Artist

    - Codename Contra (Team A except the intro part that was better executed by Team B) which was THE song to pick for me.

     

    Like, can we talk about the WASTE of PPAP Team A and Can't Stop Me Now Team A ? Whahh, Avengers and Justice League of IP with boring (imo) concepts ? The songs for the group battle were pretty underwhelming tbh (the position evaluation songs made up for it though), which is also why I think IP is better than P101. Most P101 trainees managed to butcher great to decent songs while most IP trainees managed to make boring to ok songs bearable to good.

     

     

    Position Evaluation :

    - Nunchucks (dance)

    - What I Miss (vocal, also Qhanzhe)

    - Papillon (rap)

     

    Original songs :

    - Firewalking : dance-wise especially, also Qhanzhe (that boy leaves with my heart)

    - Dream : the best balance between song, dance, vocal, rap and stage presence, but this chorus and this concept can't exist together. I think the chorus is the real problem, since it doesn't exactly fit with the verses either but well, the song is made so they should have dropped the concept.

    - Listen To What I Say : Xukun-wise (or the incredible skill of that boy to turn any song into gold)

     

    ALL OF THAT to say : K-pop is in troooouble. C-pop is coming for that *ss ! Joking aside, personal opinion but if China decides to really put efforts in that economy, I think Korea will be in real trouble.

     

    Welcome! I also binged the show pretty fast haha. I think the editing for Idol Producer is much better, and I think that's what makes me like it more.

     

    your last bit made me think of A'ST1's Tomo. D;

    (and a whole of other others like you've mentioned don't know of)

     

    anyways, i'm ready for CPOP to blow up since honestly i always like Chinese music and have enjoyed a lot of the groups that have come out of China, but it just never last long enough?

    not sure how to say it, but like Top Combine, HIT-5, S.P.Y, etc.

    i followed but dunno what's up with them.

    also i don't think M.I.C is consider idol like, right? lol

     

    anyways, hoping for final 9 to do well and open some gateway for future music idol growth in China.

    actually not sure how to word that but hopefully y'all get the gist of it. lol

     

    Omg, do M.I.C. still exist? I used to follow CPOP but haven't really in recent years. They were one of my favs.

     

    Did CXK lose weight? He looks really really skinny.

     

     

     

    *internally screaming at ZZT's huge drop in ranks*

     

    On the other side, wow Xiao Gui is so stable. He's been #6 basically the entire show. His fandom is really doing work.

     

     

     

    I am most worried about ZZT. I thought he was safe, but it honestly doesn't look that way. And this is only the result after switching to two-pick, so very worried about one-pick.

     

     

     

     

    Just seeing all those vocals sitting JUST OUTSIDE of TOP 9 is making me frustrated. Group needs more vocals or else I have no clue how they're going to effectively perform songs.

     

     

     

    Omg @ Zhenghao at #10 and Yanjun at #11 tho. Praying they can make into the final top 9

     

     

     

    la.gif  Praying Yanjun makes it in too. But honestly, the ranking of Yanjun and Zhenghao so high kind of confused me. I didn't know they were that popular? Wondering if they are benefiting from the two-pick where people are shipping them with someone else in the TOP 9. I could see potentially YZJ fans picking Yanjun as their second maybe. Idk about Zhenghao's jump though. But final group needs more vocals so I would be very happy if they make it.

     

     

    Xukun and Ziyi are IP's Mother Teresa so they'd do it. FCC and Xiao Gui are okay with singing as shown in the show.

    Never heard Justin sing before.

    I don't think Bu Fan can and will sing lol.

     

    Justin tried singing for one of the missions. It was not the best to be honest. I do think Xukun/Ziyi/FCC could switch over to vocal. Xiao Gui I'd rather keep as the group's best rapper. 

     

    Also, the thread moves so fast. la.gif  Went to sleep and 5+ pages.

  4. New Nongfu Mineral Water ads for Idol Producer.

     

    Justin scene crack me up

    CXK look hella gorgeous, he make it looks like a vodka ads.

     

    https://twitter.com/Angela_Tiwi/status/977017004631646209?s=19

     

    If I saw that shot of CXK out of context, there is no way I would think he's trying to sell me mineral water. LOL. And Justin in a fridge hahaha. They are making all these shots look sexy/dark/brooding, which is the exact opposite image I think of when I think mineral water. Maybe no one wanted to do a cute concept again. 

  5. After seeing this vid, I thinkYZJ has probably been enabling LYJ's sense of humor all this time and made him into the lame joke monster he is today.

     

     

     

    Omg, Justin's jokes were even worse. YZJ has clever puns, but I feel like sometime's LYJ just says pure nonsense haha. Ahhh, LYJ's dimples though.

  6. That's Mu Ziyang/Nongx2...when did that happen? I feel like I'm not paying attention because I've literally never seen any shippy interaction between those 2? lmao

    If you tell me Zhangjing/Nongx2 that's more understandable but MZY/NN is random as hell lol.

     

    Maybe sometime during Firewalking? I don't remember seeing them in the same frame together though.

  7. it's one of the more popular ones lol, currently #32 on weibo

     

    international fans don't talk about those two together but i think they started to gain traction after wenjun taught xikan how to play yo-yo, then it officially sailed in china after this

     

    00735yMIgy1fph62dtcg3j30y71fbb29.jpg

     

     

    + they were also spotted out on White Day together. i frequent a lot of vietnamese ip fanpages on facebook and iirc one of them said that wenjun/xikan interactions are cut out because yuehua doesn't like "shipping" (or i guess pushing is a better word?) their own trainees with those from other companies. don't quote me on it though

     

    Hadn't really seen this ship either, but they are cute.

     

    I'm in the middle of watching all of the random subbed clips. I think besides the Xukun/Ziyi ship, I really like the Yanjun/Zhangjing one. + Linong/Zhangjing, BuFan/XiaoGui, ZZT/everyone, Xingjie/XiaoGui, and too many others to count.

  8. ahmagahplz.png  Hi everyone, new to the thread! So I got into this show maybe 3 or 4 days ago after seeing someone with Xukun I think as their avatar or signature. And I have finally made it through all 9 subbed episodes and all the pages in this thread. LOL Was nice reading everyone's thoughts and such about all the boys/episodes.

     

    I love way too many of them, but here is my personal TOP 9.

     

    Cai Xukun: He seems so sweet in all the episodes tbh, and there is such a contrast between his on-stage persona and off-stage. So much more quiet and reserved off-stage.

    Xingjie (Huba): Definitely one of the BEST all-around performers on the show. I'm not super hopeful that he's going to make the final 9, but I do think he is one of the most talented boys. And his smile is adorable.

    YZJ: My vocalist pick. He needs to make it. He is also a great variety person, and I die every time he talks about food.

    ZZT: He is my Yuehua pick and probably the one I care about the most about getting into the final group. Makes me sad that he may potentially drop when it changes to one-pick since I believe FCC/Justin have more support out of the Yuehua boys.

    Xiyi: He is a good performer, and I live for his interactions with Xukun. And I love that he is so selfless, but a few times I really wanted him to be selfish and just grab more spotlight. 

    LYJ: Honestly, I didn't notice him as much in the beginning, but he's starting to stand out a lot more in the later episodes. And it makes my heart happy whenever he and Zhangjing are in anything together.

    Xiao Gui: So. Much. Energy. He really brings a lot of enthusiasm to every team he's been on, and he's also a great performer.

    Jeffrey: I like his voice a lot, but I do think he needs to work a bit more on the performance aspect. He's also a bit more reserved, and I think it makes him get less screentime since there are other boys that have more editable scenes. 

    Nongnong: Same as Jeffrey. I like his voice so far and his performances have been mostly consistent, and I feel like the final group needs more vocals.

     

    I also have a huge soft spot for Yanchen, Quanzhe, Chaoze, Qin Fen, Bu Fan, Mubo, and Ruibin though. I think depending on the episode, I generally switch up these 7 with Jeffrey and Nongnong. But honestly, didn't think it was possible to like so many of them. I don't think I had as many favorites when watching Broduce, but so much extra content, BTS, etc. really made me love all of them in some way. My top 7 are pretty solidified though.

     

    Other thoughts:

    I know the final 9 is going to have FCC and Justin. I think it would be good if FCC switches to being a vocal instead of a rapper. His singing voice isn't bad, and there are too many rappers that are going to end up in the final 9. I also think CXK has the potential to switch over to being a vocal. In a group of 9, ideally, I would only want a max of 3 rappers. Otherwise, I think it would be too overwhelmingly unbalanced when they have songs. 

     

    I really hope there is some strong organization going on behind the scenes so that boys that didn't make it into the top 9 form groups too. They lacked the organization for Produce 101 S1, but they definitely learned for Broduce. I'm hoping the companies have all laid the groundwork for all the boys to do promotion after the show ends.

     

    Episode 9 thoughts:

     

     

    Firewalking: Probably one of my favorite songs. ahmagahplz.png  It was just soooo catchy, and they did a really great job with the performance aspect of it too. Also, even though Nongnong was the center, I felt like LYJ stood out more overall and was probably my favorite from the group. Chaoze is one of the best members in terms of dance, and I feel like he's one of the best at coordinating the group dances. I think Jieqiong was so right when she commented the one time that a team with him on it is lucky. Li Quanzhe also did well in this group I think. Overall, they felt like the most complete team to me in a sense.

     

    Dream: I was a little disappointed in this song. It wasn't one that stuck with me unfortunately. The team performed very well, just wasn't a fan of the song. Also, what was going on with their makeup?? Everyone looked ghostly white to me, almost sickly. If I had to pick a standout performer in this group, it would be Xingjie. He sticks out, and his magic trick at the beginning really caught people's attention. It just makes me sad that he doesn't have as big of a fanbase (votes seemed really low). Everyone else was sort of forgettable tbh. *CXK campaigning for them to keep Zhenghao broke my heart. He and Ziyi definitely ranked him highly on their lists and didn't put themselves on. Zhenghao is so squishy. I'm glad everyone took care of him.*

     

    IWAR: My favorite performance is in between this and Firewalking. I have such a soft spot for vocal songs. The line distribution in this performance was very strange though. I'm guessing YZJ voluntarily let the others have more lines? Very beautiful performance overall. Visually on point and vocally too. 

     

    Boomx3: I actually liked the song itself, but the performance was not the best unfortunately. All the boys in this group put in so much work, but I just didn't feel it come together on stage as much as some of the others. I also thought Dinghao stood out a lot in this, even though he wasn't the center. 

     

    Listen to What I Say: I felt super bad for this team. They got the most number of members added and basically looked like they had to start from scratch. Compared to the other teams, they definitely had less preparation time to pull together the full performance. Ruibin stood out a LOT in this, and I really loved his parts in the performance. Xiao Gui letting other people get first pick was the sweetest. I think he was really satisfied with his Artist stage, and he wanted that for the others. I wanted to cry when Bu Fan started crying too. He put so much pressure on himself as the leader, and it seemed like the responsibility was getting to him. Overall, their stage ended up looking good, but I just wasn't as much a fan of the song. They did perform the heck out of it though. Very charismatic.

  9. Came in to be excited!!

     

    la.gifla.gifla.gifla.gifla.gifla.gif

     

    I really hope it's an album and not a single. I don't want to keep my hopes too high because I'm afraid it might just be an annoucement for WinnerTV, which is still exciting.

    Let's see what's in store next week.

     

    Just saw the teaser pic, and the hype is real. I also suspect the announcement might be for WinnerTV + praying for a full album. Not the hugest fan of getting only singles all the time.

  10. heres rubber band that MINO co composed

     

    https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lUO4QTchmcE

     

     

     

     

     

     

    Very happy that Mino got to produce. :) I like the chorus (?) where it gets quieter the best.

     

     

    I'm over the fans that just want to stay angry at small things. Hope they're not leaving too many mean comments though. :(

     

  11. Hi, I've been lurking here so much that I decided to finally make an account. Winner is my favorite group along with BIGBANG. And Seungyoon-biased, but I love them all too much to choose a bias most of the time. imhappyplz.png

     

    Also, just curious, what does the "won" mean at the left? And how do I get the pretty Winner icon that you all have under your post counts?
