I like every post I am mentioned in on Twitter, positive or negative, whether I agree with it or not. It is for analytics purposes, and also to let people know I've read their comments -- check my likes numbers on there.... 27.5k and counting.

Try actually reading what I said -- I don't mind people criticizing my reviews at all, and certainly support everyone else's right to express their views. What I was responding to were people projecting malicious intent onto my reviews, and associating feelings and motive to my words that is absolutely inaccurate. Thus, I explained how I don't actually have any malicious intent when reviewing any artist's music. The only person talking about playing the attacked victim card, is you on my behalf in your above comment. Which again, is another person projecting and assuming intent and views on my part that I have never expressed, and don't even agree with. In other words, people are putting words in my mouth -- I am correcting them when the words put in my mouth do not reflect my views, or anything I have ever actually said myself. And I'll add again, I actually like Twice a lot, and have stated that multiple times in my videos and on my social media accounts. I have also pursued trying to secure an interview with them on my channel, which I think international Twice fans would enjoy seeing. So I find it hilarious that people who have never even met me or talked to me online somehow try to act like I'm some Twice basher, where there is extensive evidence showing the opposite that is easily available to everyone.

Actually, I still post on here quite frequently, and I do read ALL comments on my videos, and in forums when they are brought to my attention or I come across them You guys are going out of your way to assign malicious intent to my reviews, and craft some sort of complex conspiracy theory about how I am subtly trying to "take down" groups, which I can tell you directly is not at all accurate, and not at all my intent ever. I review the song honestly as I see it, and that's it. I don't care what group or company it is, if I like it, I'll say so, and if I don't like it, I'll say so as well. Pretty simple. I back up and illustrate my opinions by pointing out music theory, music production, and songwriting elements to support my arguments and assertions. If you believe I got any of those points factually incorrect, feel free to bring them up and we can discuss them. If you've actually watched my channel for any period of time, you'll notice that I've criticized even my "favorite" groups rather harshly at times, and praised groups that people who cry foul about my reviews often say that I "hate," incorrectly. As for TWICE, I think perhaps you either didn't watch my reviews of them, or chose not to listen what I had to say about them overall. I think they are a really cool, and up-and-coming powerhouse group. Their songs are definitely unique in a quirky and all over the place kind of way, but I think that is a strength of theirs because it sets them apart from many other newer girl groups. JYP manages to put together their different styles, and the mishmash of musical inspirations that make up their songs in a very cool way, and I think they have pulled it off on the tracks thus far. Their vocals on the title tracks DO sound a bit more constructed and pieced together than pretty much any other mid-to-large level of production KPOP girl group. Only the very small company unknown groups have similar vocal production. While TWICE's vocal production is extremely well done, and the unnatural sound doesn't come from a sloppy editing or tuning job, it absolutely IS there, for whatever reason. I believe it could be one or all of a few things causing it: 1, TWICE has some inexperienced singers who are still finding their way around recording and really emoting well through a mic; 2, JYP wants to incorporate the more JPOP style of singing and vocal production into this group, since they have Japanese members and a cross-over audience; and/or 3, JYP is working with engineers and producers that are just taking a different route with the vocal processing that sounds much different from most other KPOP, but doing so is coming off as sounding slightly effected or unnatural. Regardless, I don't think their unique and different sounding vocals is hurting them overall, and the numbers and sales seem to indicate it's not holding them back either. It's just something that is rather noticeable, and the fact that I'm seeing thousands of comments off of my videos pointing out or wondering about the exact same thing demonstrates that it's certainly not just me talking about or noticing it in some attempt to "take TWICE down mwa ha ha *evil laugh*". Definitely not what I've said, and definitely not what I'm going for. I look forward to hearing what they come up with next.

I was told a while ago that BTS has watched my videos in the past. I'm not 100% sure but it was from a pretty reliable industry source. Thanks for posting btw!

Welp... Here it is.

I was very impressed, yet again. VIXX just keeps taking it to the next level.

But... but... but...

I'm just gonna leave this here.... Help.... Who is my bias

I'm actually diggin' this group -- especially Boombayah

#BOYCOTT TAYEON #JUSTICEFORDOGTOWNGUY !!!!

Really amazing stuff -- top notch production and I think this is the best EXO has ever sounded vocally!

Oh I forgot to mention, I asked Crescendo when their next comeback would be and they said the timing was still undecided.

Glad you enjoyed it! Also, M.R.J. KPOP is correct! M. R. J. is my initials -- it's not Mr. J Kpop, although many people read it that way! haha

Off topic but I talk / troll / get trolled about Mamamoo on my twitter pretty much constantly or every few hours -- might wanna follow me and discuss there if you have an account because I check that way more often than forums. http://twitter.com/mrjguitar And I don't think I had anything to do with MMM and WGM, but who knows. I do consult with RBW about a variety of things pretty often.

This song manages to incorporate a lot of interesting influence in a rather clever way! I dig it.

Love me some VIXX.

The interview is just getting a minor final translation thing done on it and then it will be finished and uploaded. It's like 45 minutes long, and you'll get to hear from them about all kinds of stuff in a really open and casual way. I don't think a lot of the subject matter has been talked about anywhere else -- at least in the interviews I've seen with them. And yes, they talked for most of that 45 minutes, which includes trolling of each other, trolling me, lots of fun, multiple languages, some singing, and more haha. They are all really cool.

Pretty interesting genre/concept here!

Moo... mooo... moooooo.... moooo..... I can't music anymore. Moo.

I was gonna come here to post this: But it looks like it was already posted! Thanks! Some awesome stuff going on in this new Taemin release.... insanely impressive!

Thought you guys might like to see this -- I saw some i-moomoos talking about Solar going blonde and we were joking around and commenting about it.... so I decided to ask her about it lol. Here's the response!

Unconfirmed! Unconfirmed! LOL

I think maybe consider this: a single is just a single. A full album would be just a full album. Think of it as a separate release in the mean time before the full album comes out. I don't see how more Mamamoo music, even with the timing spaced together, can possibly be a bad thing. [Note, this is my opinion here and NOT inside information]
