This teaser kind of gives me a TLC, 90's kind of vibe. Also do any of you guys know the new member positions? I know Alex is the main rapper and leader, but what about the rest of them?
Probably because there's only one OG member left, so it's pretty much a new generation. Black Pearl RaNia.
I am not getting,ALL the original members left,should I laugh or cry I loved them.Who are they now...is the 'bp' for alex?huh.But good luck to them.
Man, I miss the original RaNia lineup, this really does not feel like RaNia at all! The songs like Just Go, Dr Feel Good, Masquerade were all bops, but with this lineup it feels like a completely different group that should just be created under a new name.
I thought I was the only one that was kinda disappointed with the sound of the teaser. Ehh, I just hope the rest of the song sounds good. Demonstrate was a bop so I'm going to be really sad if the new song is a mess.
I've stanned this group ever since they were "Baby Vox 3" back in 2009, so I'm always anticipating what they do next. I can't say I'm happy with the new line up. Especially since Alex is the new leader....even though the original group leader is sitting right next to her. Its kind of a slap in the face to Saem or Yina or whatever. Can't wait to see what they can do, but without Xia, Tae, Di, Riko and Jooyi....I'm going be judging them hard core.
They for one teach her Korean and they speak to her in English It is kind of under a new name, Black Pearl RaNia Saem came back (Yina), the BP is for the new generation like you said pretty much all the OG members left so... Yeah but I mean she did leave and came back after Alex was confirmed as the leader, so just giving her the leader position again after it was already decided again doesn't necessarily seem fair to Alex.
Yina joined the company in 2009, was made the leader of RaNia in 2010, and remained the leader until 2014. That's six years of experience. Alex joined the company in 2015, and was made the leader earlier this year. That's about six months experience...without really doing anything. Its pretty obvious who this isn't fair to....aside from the fans themselves.
but she left, that's the point I'm trying to make. She left the group and came back after they already replaced her. If you were named a position you really wanted after the original girl left and then she just comes back out of nowhere and they randomly hand it back to her, would you feel very happy about it? Plus this is a new generation, with a (kind of) new name, there are changes that should be made (other than the fact that there's only one OG member left lol). Either way, I'm pretty sure none of the girls care about whether Alex is the leader or not.
Alex leader? funny.If bp stands for black pearl......you know why i said that.Saem is not with the group,is she?but whatever its just alex based show now,the 'Rania' is over.no negativity but what this company is thinking!
Saem is with the group, she's Yina (the name she used while promoting in China). Also I wouldn't say it's gotten to the point where it's Alex ft. RaNia, if you watch the MV, it's more like RaNia ft. Alex; she didn't even get included in the dance sections.
But attention wise, it's all about Alex. (even the fact that she didn't get much screen time brings a lot of attention to her and her alone) The majority of the comments is Alex this, Alex that. and not much about the rest. So you could say its Alex ft Rania. I don't know about in Korea, but international fans are all focused on Alex. such a shame for the rest, because no matter what they do, all eyes will be on Alex (that's just how its being marketed.) The song, for me, isn't anything special, and choreo isn't much either. but it could've been worse, i suppose.
I thinks it's good for the other members that Alex is bringing attention. I agree, the song isn't anything special. Without Alex, this would all just fade into the background.
