Earlier than we get going with the dreaded Sign Music competitors, we’ve acquired a number of extra introductory performances to get via.
We’re again with the second episode of the “Planet C” half of this season. Technically, although, it’s episode 4 of the season. Complicated? In fact!
PREVIOUS RECAPS: Episode One // Episode Two // Episode Three
Boys Planet Workforce
It is a group of trainees who have been eradicated within the first season of Boys Planet. I don’t keep in mind any of them, however that’s not saying a lot since that season was a whole two years in the past. One man has additionally dedicated the cardinal Okay-pop sin of “being previous.” The efficiency itself was fairly meh.
Dang Hong Hai
That is one other trainee from final season that I can’t keep in mind in any respect. He’s fairly charming and I salute his use of razzle dazzle props, however I don’t see him going too far.
Boy Story
Right here’s the group the producers have been hyping up – a JYP C-Pop act I’ve by no means been capable of get into. A lot of the songs I’ve sampled have been fairly dangerous so I can’t say I’ve acquired a ton of anticipation for his or her stage. Nonetheless, dangerous materials doesn’t imply the precise performers are dangerous. They’re undoubtedly extra polished than a lot of the different teams and ought to be given a shot at redemption. I don’t understand how huge their fan base is, although.
Operating these twin Planet Okay and Planet C episodes is so bizarre as a result of they’re much more repetitive than regular. Severely… we’ve got to listen to them clarify the sign tune stage twice? Introduce the sign tune twice? Go over all the principles and norms of the present twice?? Prompt quick ahead.
(Not less than Planet C’s outfits are a bit nicer wanting than Planet Okay’s)
We get the same old behind-the-scenes of the blokes’ rehearsals for the sign tune. Among the extra “wild” trainees are chastised for being too free spirited and never listening to instructions. Given the way in which the Okay-pop trade works, this is smart. And although “free spirit” can simply cross over to “impolite,” it additionally tends to be a top quality that makes for fascinating artists and fascinating artwork. Not that this present is about artwork…
The deadpan “horny” man is again and I’m actually beginning to discover his shtick fairly humorous. His singing’s terrible, although. I imply, the vocal academics want some baseline of expertise to start out out with, proper?
This shouldn’t be a controversial query to ask, however why are there even contestants at this stage of the present who’re legitimately tone deaf? There are… a whole lot of them this 12 months.
He didn’t convey scrumptious tanghulu with him. Benefit: Hanbin.
You’ll should go elsewhere for detailed evaluation of those particular person assessments. Like final week, I simply can’t put myself via listening to the identical fifteen seconds of this tune time and again (usually sung utterly out of key). It’s dangerous. Nonetheless, there have been many flips and gimmicks and “Mr. Horny” really did fairly nicely all issues thought of.
Ultimately, the killing half/middle of the Planet C sign tune went to Zhou An Xin after a vote from the judges and trainees. Then, we had a tearful elimination as a bunch of the trainees have been despatched dwelling. Concern not. “Mr. Horny” is secure for now. Gird your loins, I suppose.
We’re again to at least one episode beginning this week, thank goodness. Nonetheless, my recap will probably be delayed as a result of I’ll be touring over the weekend and I’ll not be watching this crap on the aircraft.
