The Unit- No Way

Ok, so I know I usually review new music videos, but I was thinking of doing a new thing where I talk about songs that I think are underrated. I plan on including songs that are not the title track of their album, songs from groups that I think are not really talked about, and songs like No Way that didn't win on survival shows. Now, onto No Way.

Personally, this was my favorite song from the Unit. I honestly continue to listen to this song religiously. What really moves me about the song is like emotion that I get from it. I feel like everyone really poured their heart into this performance. The vocals are just so powerful and emotional for me and I didn't really get this feeling from the other performances. This is probably because all of the other songs had more hype, cute, tough, or cool concepts, while this one was definitely more emotional and angsty.

I really think that the guys in this group really did a good job with this song, and it makes me kind of upset that they got last place. First off, this song was perfect for this group's vocals, and the range that they had. Kanto and Suwoong were able to hit those low notes, Timoteo in the middle, and Jeup and Taeho with those high notes creating these gorgeous harmonies in the end of the song. Also throughout the song, all of their vocals really shined. What I found really interesting (and I LOVED) was that all of their voices are really distinct and you can tell who is singing each part. Overall, the unique voices and varying vocal ranges was something that this song was able to provide which made it absolutely fantastic, and my personal favorite.

So, why did such an amazing performance get such a low ranking. Personally I think it is because they had the least amount of members and many of them weren't really high ranked. Like if you look, no one in this group made it into UNB, (which I'm kind of salty about because I REALLY wanted Jeup to get in. He was my favorite person in the competition.) Thus, I think that despite a spectacular performance this song was ranked lower than the others due to the lack of number and popularity of the members. For me, it makes me kind of disappointed because these guys are so talented and just, like, delivered with this performance.

Anyway, I heavily recommend this song. I put it below, so please check it out. I swear it's amazing and definitely worth the 3:55 minutes it takes to watch. So... um... yeah...

Produce X 101- Final Ranking

So, I was actually able to watch the entire finale. I'm still going to hold off on writing anything about the actual show portion of this episode until english subtitles are released. That being said the group name is X1. It's sweet and simple and basically sums up the premise of this season. Now onto the rankings. My current top 11 are: 1. Cho Seung Youn 2. Lee Han Gyul 3. Han Seung Woo 4. Keum Dong Hyun 5. Hwang Yun Seong 6. Kim Yo Han 7. Song Yu Vin 8. Song Hyung Jun 9. Son Dong Pyo 10. Nam Do Hyun 11. Lee Jin Hyuk I know I already changed my list from literally yesterday. I honestly happy with whatever the final ranking is as long as Cho Seung Youn and Han Seung Woo get in. If Lee Han Gyul get in, that's an extra bonus. I truly wish that all of the guys could debut in X1, which obviously is not going to happen. Anyway, onto the official rankings. 1. Kim Yo Han When they told us 1st place was down to Kim Woo Seok or Kim Yo Han, I was not surprised. I th...

Produce X 101- Position Evaluation

I love position evaluation. I think it gives the rappers a chance to really shine when they usually have to showcase singing or dancing. It also gives us epic performances such as Shape of You and "Michoji" from Season 2. Either way it allows people to really showcase their talents. The introduction of the X position definitely added interest. I think it is definitely very important for the trainees to be able to both sing and dance at the same time or rap and dance at the same time, since that is what they are going to be doing as an idol. Vocal Position Twit by Hwasa I love how this song was not like the typical ballad type songs to showcase their singing. Their harmonies were amazing and I loved it. Lee Hyeop did really well and I think it was great that he was finally able to showcase his singing ability. Jeonghwa also really stood out with his strong voice and cool stage presence. The performance overall was very captivating and I was really impressed and liked...

Produce X 101- First Elimination

Agh, elimination. Definitely my least favorite episodes, because it is so sad to see trainees go home. I do really enjoy the little events they have in between that lighten the mood of the episode a bit, but overall it's really hard to see some the trainees you really like go home. Entrances I love the entrances and how they consist of inside jokes between the contestants and are just the trainees having a fun time. My favorite entrance would be C9's where Lee Jae Bin and Keum Dong Hyun are pretending to play baseball. Other entrances that I enjoyed were Astory Entertainment's Jeon Hyun Woo and Heo Jin Ho, Plan A (or is it Plan M now, I am so confused) Entertainment's Choi Byung Chan and Han Seung Woo, Brand New Music's Kim Si Hun, Yoon Jeong Hwan, Lee Eun Sang, and Hong Seong Jun, and JH1's Jun Euhara. Body Camp This is one of my favorite sections that this show does. It's really lighthearted and fun. When it came to checking if the trainees have a...
