  1. Well, the PD101 concept is Korean and KPOP’s China Line is instrumental in both shows so you are going to see similarities. But there are differences. For one, PD China has far more power vocals than PD 101 S1. RG is so full of main and lead vocals that it feels unworkable for a traditional K GG that has a main vocal and maybe two leads — the main focus being on dance for the rest of the group. Also visually the look is far more uniform on IOI than RG. Both groups are very attractive but the Rocket Girls’ visuals really are diverse compared to IOI. During PD101CN, I was constantly thinking “what the hell are they doing†when they were eliminating knockout talented visuals for the “unconventional†members like Wang Ju. Not making a blanket statement on the whole of new gen Chinese idol pop because I don’t know enough of it other than that the TFBoys make $17M in merchandise sales per month. China has an “undeveloped†idol industry with crazy money. Which is why Korean entertainment companies want to be here. And because they are here then CPOP will be influenced by KPOP. Aren’t Tencent and Iqiyi already planning the next two seasons of PD101 China and Idol Producer?
  2. Thanks for that post! 3unshine was my bias during the beginning of the show. Can you list some of their songs, please?
  3. Thanks for the observation, Zhang. I like the business aspect of the industry. By redoing the video, Tencent gained a massive vote of confidence from the advertisers. They basically told the advertisers and partners that they are willing to power through with 8 and make them successful. Those companies now feel safe investing in ads with the RGs. And they will feel safe investing with any of the girls where before they might want to ask for Meiqi or Xuanyi because they ranked 1 and 2. I think Tencent will direct more CFs to the 8 than Meixuan at least initially. Xining, I thought ranked too low to have much leverage. But Winnie does have incredibly talent as a power vocal to go with traditional idol visuals so she has great potential. But she is definitely on the back foot now especially since the other two main vocals — Aojuan and Mimi — have OSTs.
  4. They made Sunnee wear a skirt. lol The stadium scenary reminds me of IOI Dream Girls but vibe is very American. Overall I like because I like rock and this is a pop rock song. Yup, Fujing should be center. Wow, Mengjie is eye catching too. She is a surprise I didn’t expect to be so appealing.
  5. Painful but could have been worse. Now I need Eunbi to stay in the top 12 and at least two of Yujin, Minjoo and Yena clustered at 14-15 to make it back into the top 12. Yunjin, Sihyeon and Gyuri hurt like hell. In any other season they would be safe picks. Same for the top visual pick Yireon. Yireon because of her youth and looks will have ample opportunities in Korea or China. Sihyeon we never given a chance by MNET. But I’m worried as hell that she could end up in a dungeon at YH, especially if Yireon were pulled into China (and grouped with the YH girls from PD101CN) and if Yena makes the debuting team. Gyuri is such a great all around talent but she was really treated shoddily during this whole affair — left off the stage during Nekkoya, that “cracked†voice much todo about nothing and now an early exit for a debuted idol. It bothers me greatly that this show not only has done nothing to help her but in fact might her. Yunjin will always play in my mind as to the potential of what could have been. A tall exceptional beauty with a great voice who can speak english. She was a natural fit for a global GG. I hope Pledis does something with her. I hope to hell Kaeun makes the final lineup but I’m scared that Yunjin might end up like Kaeun before this season.
  6. WTH?! The Rocket Girls are way up there in the nose-bleed seats for the TFBoys concert? Tencent should have pulled strings and got them front row. lol That concert looks massive. Soccer stadium? May RG could sell out one these in the future.
  7. Is this legit? Zixuan is a pretty popular member right? On Undergirls at 22. Click here to view the Tweet
  8. They have no reason to remake “Collide†when the OT8 version is already the best selling single in China this year (if the tweets are to be believed.) Strategically, the best time to release the OT11 version of “Collide†is after the fourth song on the schedule has released and run its course so you can revive interest in “Collide†again. Releasing the OT11 version now is rather pointless business-wise when sales and interest are already high.
  9. LoL. Fucking hilarious. Especially that particular move from the dance.
  10. Yunjin and Yireon are too low to jump all the way back in. I have hope for Minjoo only. Not sure I can even make myself watch tomorrow.
  11. One thing you can say about Tencent is they do not sleep on their girls. They did not allow the momentum of PD101 to fade. They did not allow the Meixuaning drama throw them off. This crew is committed. I think we had hints of that commitment from the mansion the RGs were brought to right after winning 101 and the reality show that begin filming immediately. I know it is China but shit the amount of CFs, OSTs, movies tie-in and shows are incredible in volume. And now the roll out of their songs are fucking well planned out. The RGs’ popularity and success are in good hands with Tencent. The issue is whether they will be worked to death. I hope they learn from Sunnee’s collapse (and Mimi’s and Zining’s health issues) and protect the girls’ health. The fanbase is strong and not going anywhere so they can ease up a bit, I think.
  12. Looks like OT8 was able to kick down the door despite not having its two most popular members. Great sign, fans are stanning the group not just the individuals. Aren’t akgae fans the great fear for China groups? It looks like they passed that test.
  13. Can’t fucking believe that Gyuri, Yena, Yujin, Yunjin, Yireon, Sihyeon and Minju are on the fucking bubble this week. We’re going to annihilate the cream of the crop and all three of the top visuals this season. HATE HATE HATE this
  14. Cindy will never be just like any other pop idol. In Pop Idol-dom, she is unique in her looks. Too bad they wasted their opportunity with Abby quitting. I thought China lost great story. Wang Ju later made up for it in a way.
  15. My god, Fujing isn’t a pop visual she’s a full-blown super model!
  16. C-wotas are willing to spend money and not vote for a chinese trainee. K-wotas will do the same. They’re used to spending money and will vote AKB only. So we can’t dismiss this shit yet.
  17. For a second, I thought it was Heo Yunjin in a cdrama with her arm being bitten off by a big grey wolf (0:22) https://youtube.com/watch?v=9xYGt35prEs Yunjin is a deadringer for Zanilia Zhao. Tomorrow, we’re going to fucking lose this visual queen with one of the best voices in PD48. Over some completely asinine editing and manufactured hate for “WUSPLE.â€
  18. Holy shit, this rocks hard and long. https://youtube.com/watch?v=JLfTwT4kyKs
  19. Try reading 3000 pages of angry posts on the PD48 thread and you’ll understand why. lol.
