sillysone 6,340 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Like whenever a ballad's released people always complain and call it boring. Ballad songs in albums are always ignored, everyone wants "trashy bops" or something. Why is that? I actually like ballads the most, dance songs rarely ever do it for me. For example, I think this song is the best one from SHINee's new album https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M05MlREFtjs Discuss. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chrome 3,157 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 personally i really enjoy ballads, but its understandable why i-fans, especially idol fans dont care for them as what brought them into kpop are the super colorful, highly produced and upbeat pop tracks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sany518 1,080 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I don't dislike kpop ballads but it ain't my fav thing either, mostly because I pay more attention to lyrics when it comes to ballads and I can't do that with korean ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulmicola 1,981 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 ...because they're boring as fuck? The only K-Pop ballads I haven't found boring are those of 2NE1, Big Bang, DBSK and SHINee. And a couple of 2AM songs, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ღChoco 2,864 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I appreciate a good ballad but some of them are so boring and sound like they belong in an ost and a lot of groups include one as filler and they usually sound the same as other boring ballads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ogre Shrek 8,980 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Kpop interests me primarily because of its snazzy choreography. If I want ballads, I'll stick to C-pop (where there are tons of fantastic ballad singers/songs). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
�Babo☮ 1,695 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Idk, but I don't not like only korean ballads, my tempo musical prefferences are the same with everything. I like upbeat songs or unique/interesting sounding slower songs, of which I have found korean ones too. And the occasional ballad. I think it's a musical prefference, aren't upbeat songs more widely liked? The explanations for that are scientific and the last time I checked no one knew for sure, but there are some articles online if you are interested.

hiraishrimp 5,413 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I love ballads. I am the 1% It's better when solo artists/only a few members from a group do ballads though, that way there is some vocal consistency. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Starlight 1,108 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I like ballads, just not the kind that bore me and make me zone out ten seconds into the song. It needs to have some slightly more upbeat, powerful parts that convey the emotion of the song at least. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoSHE 874 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 Because, to be perfectly honest, if I wanted to listen to a ballad, I need it to be from a power singer. Also, because not everyone in a kpop group is main vocal-worthy, there's always a random member that just kinda stands there with little or no lines. Most ballads are really just light, airy slow songs. That's boring. If you're belting and giving me Mariah/Whitney/Boyz II Men feels, then yes, I'll listen to it and probably spazz. But how many idols really do that? Very, very few. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craZee 5,145 Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I like ballads (though I'm very picky) but majority of Korean ballads come off too bland to me I suppose. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
