Wow. Just read the announcement, the situation turned dark real quick. When I saw the thread move 4 pages since I checked it this morning- I knew it would be something big, but never did I expect this so soon- this is soul crushing. I feel the boycott was a little too late but that's another story. If Alex had never joined the group, she would have never gone through this. If this isn't racism at its worst, I don't know what is. I feel sorry for her, for the other members as this is undeniably heartbreaking. I kinda feel that's why the group has been down lately and Hyeme just loooks depressed when performing- all I can say to them is hang in there...or something. If none of the members speak out on this at some point or renew then I have no respect for them as well. Alex being gone suprisingly gives me a sigh of relief because she doesn't have to deal with this anymore and it gives me a good reason to not be a fan anymore. This news alone makes me feel like I wasted 6 years stanning this group (it would have been 4 if I left when DTX left). After this announcement, I don't even have it in my heart to post my last compilations. I had already lost all respect for that thing of a company and now I can comfortably say I AM OFFICIALLY DONE WITH RANIA AND ALL RANIA RELATED THINGS. I no longer care for whatever the group or the brand decides to do, or becomes. Peacing out of this fandom (aka y'all might not see me in this thread again after today).

And the choir said 'Amen.'

@2ne1 revenge I understood exactly what everyone is saying and I have been paying attention which why I said what I said. From my perspective that-company-that-shall-not-be named is not worth trying to reason with and they've shown that. And it doesn't matter if we try to do both things at once because the fandom never gets what it wants and the group gets treated worse and worse. All of the lineups of Rania have always shown amazing potential, individually and as a group and that thing of a company invents ways to f*ck things up every single time which is why I mentioned history repeating itself. Don't consistent and continuous borken promises count for something? If you (not you specifically but anyone) want to push for HEX anyway go for it. Me, all I see is failure and disappointment at some point down the road and I'm jumping ship to save myself more heartache.

Waking up to this continued mess, here are some opinions I want to share. @2ne1 revenge The company's got the fandom on a leash because some fans get angry about something then as soon as they get a little taste of something good, everything's all right with the world and it goes right back to square one at the detriment of the group and the fandom. You have great ideas but this is the very mentality that got the fandom where it's at today. I mean, do you know which company you are dealing with? Supporting HEX will be like falling into their traps again. One minute you guys are boycotting and the next you're supporting a song because it sounds good? It doesn't matter how great a song or a whole album is, it's either boycott or no boycott. Boycotting cannot be half-assed which is exactly what people are doing right now (A1st sherlock flat-out betrayed the boycott so they should be boycotted too lol). In all seriousness though, a boycott is a similar to a blackout but I see people on this thread alone compromising "if HEX does this, if the company does that, if this or that happens then maybe we can....etc' that is NOT a boycott. Does anyone really believe there will be a HEX debut.....like? Please wake the hell up. The fandom cannot afford to be weak minded right now so the 'stroking their ego' with the HEX thing is a recipe for disaster and disappointment. History will repeat itself because the fandom lets it. (Notice I don't use 'us fans' or 'we' etc.. I am slowing removing myself from the fandom because I think as long as 'Rania' is around, no matter who comes and goes fans will continue to support something that will never be, sadly. This fandom is not even beating a dead horse anymore, it's trying to revive a carcass. Good luck y'all).

My peition would be much simpler but I just remembered, this peitition already exists https://www.change.org/p/dr-music-stop-discriminating-alexandra-reid-of-rania If possible, the person would have to change the amount of signatures needed (as in more) and the fandom would need people to take this seriously and not go off of A1st sherlock, like, what the hell? where is the backbone? It would need to be translated and sent to the girls.

Her demeanor during the B3x buskings. She can have a bit of a poker face at times but you can still tell she's into the performance or she's enjoying it (Demonstrate, SAF, and MMA) but this one she just looks like she's not here for it. Anyone else feel this way?:

Is anyone down for starting an official petition and sending it to the girls on their SNS? Cruel and unusual? Yes. Necessary? ABSOLUTELY. I think the group is a bit disconnected to what's happening with the fandom and how unhappy the fans are. I feel the whole group itself is generally unhappy about a few things but the two people I feel are the most upset about this are Alex and Hyeme; just a gut feeling. I can almost hear the original lineup breathing a sigh of relief as they feel they dodged a bullet by leaving the group.

Speechlessness will be a very common theme on this thread my dear, heed my words.

Completely unrelated to the conversation of the past 10 pages but thanks to all of you who replied to my 'am I being ignored' post. I didn't feel it was personal for the most part but I genuinely thought maybe my posts weren't showing up also. But speaking of the last 10 pages, all I have to say is 'what the f*ck?' about all of this. Absolutely speechless, I'm not even mad or disgusted, just...empty. I am also mentally preparing myself to let Rania go. One thing for sure is they have in fact given us amazing songs and performances. Great girls, great personalities, amazing talent, showstoppers, etc... but I guess their company wouldn't let them be. They've gone from being a 10 room mansion to being one of the 10 rooms at a homeless shelter. Sad. Last but not least, i just saw the mv teaser......Jesus.

Are my posts not showing up on the thread? Or am I just being ignored? I was under the impression no one agreed with me or just wanted to stay naive about his whole situation but other people saying the same thing I said a few pages back and they're getting feeeback? This is my main source of contact with A1st but I can't strike up a convo with anyone here because mostly you don't reply to my opinions or suggestions. I don't think this is a personal but what gives? Also I would appreciate some feedback on my DEMONSTRATE compilations.

So here are my 'Demonstrate' compilation vids to help lift the mood up- share please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CdyrgUpfZ1s https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdgYJbIK5-g For me nothing beats the original lineup but that lineup although different was pure fire. Such a shame that.

So, five basic things they needed to get right: Alex in ALL concept photos - CHECK Alex in WHOLE choreography- FAIL (therefore I’m out and I'll explain why in a sec) Alex fully incorporated in MV Alex in FULL live performances- FAIL The group doing more TV/variety/etc... appearances First, my opinion on the busking performance Pros -It was great to see all the girls together -The song sounded kinda nice- nothing great but easy on the ears. -Alex tried to communicate in Korean-props to her but a disgrace for the company to not provide the girl some lessons. Cons -The group now sounds and looks generic as hell. -ALEX STOOD IN THE BACK FOR ALL OF THE PERFORMANCES INCLUDING MMA WHICH SHE HAS PERFORMED BEFORE WITH THE GROUP. -SHE WALKS OFF AGAIN DURING BEEP3X -SHE DANCES WEIRD, THE CHOREO IS A MESS AND THEY DON'T LOOK COHESIVE (shows lack of practice and I blame the company for not letting her be back in time to practice and rehearse- so that in itself is not an excuse to me, that shouldn’t have happened). Last but not least, “We’re trendsetting Rania†really, where? Now my rant: Throughout the many years, for the lack of respect for the fandom, for themselves, their irresponsibility, the lies and the many lineup changes since the group’s debut, keeping the fandom in the dark and the sheer disrespect and prejudice towards Alex (dare I say this might not happen if she were not of African descent) I. AM. DONE. (Though I will eventually post my last 3 (Demonstrate, SAF, and MMA) compilation vids here….in memoriam.)

Love love love the concept pics BUT...I know it's a minor detail but why is Alex not wearing the same shoes as everyone else. They lost a point for that in my book- why do they insist on having her sticking out?

After reading the sh*tfest of the last 40 and some odd pages, I can finally say HALLE-MOTHER****ING-LUJAH!!!!! I was on the edge and was about to call it quits with this group but the skies have finally opened up and the lights are shining down upon us!!! I'm still sticking by what I said before though, the-company-that-shall-not-be-named better get this WHOLE comeback right and this comeback should be elevating this group out of nugu status or I'm out. Y'all may say that's an unreasonable criteria but the girls have deserved this for the longest time and I'm not givng that company any leeway. Five basic things they need to get right: Alex in ALL concept photos (so far we have one). Alex in WHOLE choreography Alex fully incorporated in MV Alex in FULL live performances The group doing more TV/variety/etc... appearances.

No lies detected! they sure know how to pick songs but my goodness their business practices are absolute shite. In other news, in keeping my promise, here are part 1 & 2 of Just Go compilation. I had so many clips to work with, I think I got lost in the shuffle oh well enjoy anyway, like and share please. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YC1JwweUcsg https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=a00kgb4gSuc

Yeah I agree and if that had been the case I would have probably still be done I mean, this company did these women dirty. Ugh. That's how I feel with this whole situation and them not picking up the pace is why I'm 'leaving' too as a fan if they don't get it right by this next comeback.

Yina leaving is just........... . I'm gonna finish whatever compilations I'm working on then I'm done for good. This company is too dumb for my liking; essentially I'm still waiting for their comeback, if there's no solid 'noise' from it, I'm so done. Some of you can call me shallow but I don't care; I've done my part but I have better things to do and I feel we're beating on a dead horse here.

Thank you for watching the vid and my thoughts are the same for everything else you said. I absolutely agree with you, the bold is exactly how I feel. The reason I've never been able to drop the group is because of the members themselves, I love how they always give it 100% no matter what crappy situation DR puts them in but it's been 6 years, idk...

On a more positive note, I put together a compilation for 'Style.' Like and share. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YxKPkl0GMxk

The thread's moved some 10 pages since Iwas last here I got so excited because I thought there were comeback news/plans etc... and come to find the mess that I read about Rania World, wtf is this sh*t? DRM, I have no words. And that recent DFG performance is wack. The members look like amateurs trying to be sexy, either their choreographer helps them tighten the routine or they don't perform it at all. I'm at the end of my rope with this group and I've been there a while now. Everytime I'm at the point of giving up on them, the group gives me hope again but this situation is just dumb don't some of you feel like you're wasting your time with this group? Don't mean to sound harsh but come ON.

My 'Killer' compilation, check it out. Like and share.

Hey y'all don't forget to watch my Pop Pop Pop compilation https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQEuxcxweXw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLJuHBGkP74

Oh I totally got you, I think I sounded harsh also. I guess I was thinking out loud and I do laugh also- it's just sad that they had/have so much potential and they always come up on flop lists lol.

Ok so I was super busy this weekend but I manage to finish my Pop Pop Pop compilations. I couldnt' clean up the quality- I think the original vids were more or less downloaded that way and It's a bit choppy and rushed but I don't care I was short on time lol. Nonetheless, I liked doing PPP and I'm starting to enjoying editing vids so we'll see. Watch, like and share please. Part 1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oQEuxcxweXw Part 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLJuHBGkP74

YEEEEEEESSS to the new version of DFG but to me, nothing will beat the original. That goes for the Rania Legends album as well- I would have loved to receive the one with the old songs, those are classics to me but I openly welcome the new versions. I'm just excited for more Rania period. Wanting to share my opinon, I do love this lineup as I've loved all the other ones and I'm happy that they're finally reaching some success but the first lineup to me was the total package and would have been a force to be reckoned with if it was not for the-company-that-shall-not-be-named. They sang beautifully, they were great dancers, and they were all gorgeous- too hot for the KPOP industry to handle.
