Me falta ver las últimas actuaciones....que he leído no se qué de una camiseta fuera

Darcy escribió: 04 Jun 2021, 14:42 Es que los que mencionas son las personas que conoce todo el mundo (de esas yo me quedo con Hobi y Taemin ) pero hay muchísimos miembros de otros grupos y también son buenísimos y con presencia. No sé, por no irme muy a la parra y que suenen en este hilo, de los que han salido en Kingdom están varios de The Boyz, SF9 o Yunho y San de ATEEZ que no tienen nada que envidiarle a los más famosos. Otra cosa que no entiendo es por qué en esas listas no suele aparecer Taeyong de NCT cuando está a la par con los más famosos (y sin tener tanto años de entrenamiento).

Yo estoy contenta con el resultado del Kingdom, aunque si hubiese ganado cualquier otro también me parecería bien, porque no he seguido el concurso ni he visto todas las actuaciones. De esta última fase las canciones que más me gustaban eran la de BTOB, que fue también la actuación que más me gustó, y la de The Boyz, pero no me gustó que metieran vídeos en la actuación en directo, aunque fuese sólo coreografía.

Here we are, the moment I've been waiting 7 years for. I'll just jump straight into the analysis!~



0:00 To be honest, I have never really liked opening shape formations like this. I generally find them busy, however, in this instance, Kai has a very ethereal and star like image as an idol, and so I find it amusing. It's important to establish the audience with a theme for a track, and to let you know what kind of performer you're watching.



0:11 The other dancer's arms pulse with his chest. That's a nice little touch that adds dynamic and depth to the already busy formation. It gives the audience an extra second to look at everybody.



0:16 This dance is incredibly asymmetrical, which is really interesting and bold for kpop, but not for EXO which loves this. This arm rotation move is followed by the foot sweep which should make you feel a little uncomfortable as there is a lot of asymmetry. with an unsupported side.



0:23 Kai is pretty obsessed with krumping, and has been incorporating it into his solo work since 2017. This little solo chorus area showcases it nicely and just highlights that for his big chorus he doesn't need a group. It is pretty low difficult for him though, but the song overall has a high skillcap.



0:33 I hate this move. Groovy baby!



0:37 All of the point roll moves in this dance are perfect. I love that each gets its moment, they're simple, and they play off of Taemin's influence.



0:40 Do you guys understand how difficult this foot shuffle is? Foot shuffling works by adding energy into your feet and lifting from the ground. They are rough, upwards moves. Kai literally uses ONLY his kinetic energy to essentially fall through this move. There's no effort, it's just momentum. Absolutely insane. To see a major difference, check out Chen's foot shuffle in Kaching, it's essentially the same move and looks so much different.



0:45 Gorgeous. If you notice his other dancers, they swing their back legs forward to create momentum into the roll. This let's them have a smooth rotate on their front and back legs. Kai doesn't do this, his control is so strong that it's all muscle.



0:51 This is such a cool part. The melody is beautiful, the imagery is beautiful, the fact that his flower symbol is so stylish and unique when they could've just been lame and did a heart or something else cheesy.



0:56 Are you paying attention to the asymmetry? The audience's left gets a lot of focus in this dance. Everything is intentional.



0:58 This foot slide into the hind leg shift is really amazing too. Same process as the momentum foot shuffle from earlier. This is actually much harder because if the glides aren't coordinated or focused, you break formation. Gliding is the single hardest thing to control in streetdance.



1:05 Dance is all about shift in momentum. Every instrument should be mirrored by a body part throughout the course of the dance. Kai uses lots of group formations to slow things down and highlight other areas of the song. I love at at 1:11, the girls go left and he goes right. But he doesn't -just- go right, he travels on beat.



1:11-1:16 I'm actually in awe. I didn't know this part was so difficult. This might be the single hardest combination I've ever seen in kpop (that isn'tr groundwork) He comes in off balance, does an incredible foot combination that LEADS INTO his center position, changes body center of gravity TWICE while off balance, and then does that super smooth hand wipe thing. Look at his fingers. He closes his fingers on the beat.



1:18 His arm swing into the twirl, into a travel, into a center of gravity change, into a traveling version of the krump chorus from earlier. WHAT. THE. HELL.



1:26 I like that the dancers show their back to him.



1:30 Groovy baby.



1:35 Props to the girls. Doing this on the ground and not looking like a penguin is really hard. Ladies if you want your cardio, try this dance.



1:45 I always love cycling through backup dancers with traveling formations like this.



1:51 I hate this hop move.



1:56 This dance is brought to you by Kai's left foot.



2:05 I think the chorus looks a lot stronger as a group actually, and the sweeping travel at 2:09 is an amazing energy change.



2:22 I have many thoughts about this move. What does it symbolize? How was it created? Is it Michael or Fosse? I think no matter what, it's such a Kai thing to do.



2:29 I like this formation but wish he interacted with the girls more. He's such a sexy performer and they look great, there needed to be more interaction with them if the dance was going to be so female focused.



2:40 I hate that he turns his back to us. He should've traveled backwards.



2:58 This formation needed to be a bit bolder, more vulnerable, more iconic. It never seems to show well on camera, and it feels underwhelming compared to the intro formation. I think having Kai lean backwards instead of forward, and using less dancers would've been better!



Overall, this dance is very powerful. There are a few moments with high skill cap, lots of energy, and he definitely showcases that he's the best dancer in the industry with this song. I think that for his next track, emphasizing more ballet and lyrical hip hop and moving away from krumping would really set up a balanced discography and show a more technically advanced side of him. Kai did his best work from 2012-2016 in terms of dance, but there are still some modern classics. His olympics performance, I See You, and his Super M trailer are his best 3 solos, but they're almost always reserved for when Kai has more control over his project. It's odd that here, when he seems to have the most control, he chose his Krump style. What I'm getting at is he's too safe, as a Kai UB, I wasn't completely blown away by the dance like I was for Move by Taemin. That being said, Mmmh is obviously the most technically advanced solo work from an idol in Korea, surpassing Move in technique but maybe not infamy, and placing Kai in a soloist bracket only rivaled by his visual nemesis Baekhyun. Their contrast is superb and an excellent move on SM's part. We all thought Kai would have the darker R&B sound, yet he has more pop tracks than Baekhyun. Baekhyun carries on Dean's legacy while Kai takes Taemin's muted atmospheric music to a new pop route. I can't wait for whats next.
