#(see every comment ive made in the last like month about skz not learning from their mistakes and improving their stages

a lot of the outrage that i’ve seen about the rookie idols being judges is because the ikon/sf9/tbz rap team lost. its the constant comparison that bobby had won smtm and he is respected by the k hip hop community in general that it didn’t sit well with a lot of people. again, i personally do not care at all because this doesn’t affect me in any real way. this is just entertainment lol

BUT, if anything, the fan votes percentage should’ve been more of an outrage. i know you talked about it before but im re-hashing it for this conversation because i think it fits. like you mentioned, these idol rookies went through years of training and critique. they’re not dumb or removed from the industry; they can definitely provide new perspectives (i haven’t watched the episode yet so i don’t know if they made any commentary) so i think having them be a part of the judging panel is valid. fan votes, on the other hand, is so biased and the entire reason skz is holding their position as number one overall. like the way entire ranks completely change because of them says that the performances do not truly matter given the context of this so called ‘competition’. if fans really wanted valid criticism and a more fair judging criteria, the fan votes would not have been 50%. like didn’t sf9 get ranked first for their most recent group stage based on the expert panel votes (and something else, i forget)? and then they moved to the bottom after fan votes were included. like that says A LOT but there wasn’t outrage there…

thank you anon!!!! i WILL rehash my old arguments if they serve the purpose and you are absolutely correct, the fan voting is wildly biased and a much bigger problem. oh so now that there’s actual industry workers determining the rankings and not fans you kick up a fuss?? 

also, why are people hardlining so much for bobby when he clearly doesn’t care about the outcome? he phoned in this performance to give his juniors more spotlight, which is totally valid, but they still didn’t carry that stage. if he had gone all out, they would have won, but he made the choice not to do that. are we supposed to validate performers who put on a bad show if we know they’ve done better before? that’s the opposite of obective. this isn’t smtm, bobby isn’t here to impress anyone, he isn’t trying to win, he’s just there to fuck around on stage and have fun. you can be respected by a community but still put on a sub(personal)standard performance.

#kingdom #kpop questions #Anonymous #said it before and ill say it again #if you validate a performer simply because you like them and not on the quality of their work #they do not learn #i dont think the atz/skz/btob stage was that much better #but it was more interesting to watch and thats exactly something it can be judged on! #(see every comment ive made in the last like month about skz not learning from their mistakes and improving their stages #when they maintain the top spot through fan rankings alone) #also im most of the way through the episode and they havent actually shown any feedback feedback from the rookies #just reaction cuts during the performances #they do show actual feedback from one or two of the experts after each stage though #text #kingdom asks
