Earlier than we get going with the dreaded Sign Track competitors, we’ve acquired a number of extra introductory performances to get by.
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 Group
It is a staff of trainees who had 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 Ok-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. Many 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 positively extra polished than many of the different teams and ought to be given a shot at redemption. I don’t know the way huge their fan base is, although.
Operating these twin Planet Ok and Planet C episodes is so bizarre as a result of they’re much more repetitive than regular. Severely… we have now to listen to them clarify the sign tune stage twice? Introduce the sign tune twice? Go over all the foundations and norms of the present twice?? Instantaneous quick ahead.
(At the very least Planet C’s outfits are a bit nicer wanting than Planet Ok’s)
We get the same old behind-the-scenes of the fellows’ rehearsals for the sign tune. A number of the extra “wild” trainees are chastised for being too free spirited and never listening to instructions. Given the way in which the Ok-pop business 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 truthfully beginning to discover his shtick fairly humorous. His singing’s terrible, although. I imply, the vocal academics want some baseline of expertise to begin 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 deliver scrumptious tanghulu with him. Benefit: Hanbin.
You’ll need to go elsewhere for detailed evaluation of those particular person checks. Like final week, I simply can’t put myself by listening to the identical fifteen seconds of this tune time and again (usually sung fully out of key). It’s dangerous. Nonetheless, there have been many flips and gimmicks and “Mr. Horny” truly did fairly properly 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 had been despatched house. Worry not. “Mr. Horny” is protected for now. Gird your loins, I suppose.
We’re again to 1 episode beginning this week, thank goodness. Nonetheless, my recap might be delayed as a result of I’ll be touring over the weekend and I’ll not be watching this crap on the aircraft.
