I am surprised by the amount of blinks taking this video as any sort of attack or hate, which is not the case WHATSOEVER. I think it's pretty clear. I am a fan of Blackpink, not a delusional stan. That's all.

It’s not rocket science really. Their popularity is not because of their music but because how well YG promoted them and attracted people towards them as individuals. Sadly you can’t become nearly as popular as blackpink just by making good music. YG’s marketing strategy for Blackpink worked super well for them. Now they are at a point where YG knows they don’t have to improve themselves so they don’t even try. They know fans will digest anything.

overhyped is the perfect word to use when describing blackpink and there’s many reasons to back it up too. for one, there’s really no reason or excuse as to why they’re the “biggest gg in the world” but yet only have 1 full album and about 30 something songs as a six year group. and i already know what blinks are going to say “ tHaT jUsT pRoVeS hOw SuCcEsSfUl ThEy ArE” no it doesn’t. the only thing it’s proving is that they’re heavily popular which we all already know. but it says nothing about their musical success which is what it should be focused on but it isn’t. another reason would be how the majority of their songs talk about being independent women who don’t need a man, but yet their whole career is literally controlled by a group of men. it really doesn’t sit right with me how you have lyrics that are meant to be inspiring for females, being produced, written, and looked over by males that don’t even respect women it the first place. it makes no sense to me.

I'm just a casual listener and while I enjoy some of their songs, I also struggle to see what's so special about them that makes them so popular. the gap of popularity between them and other kpop girl groups is quite large, so what makes them so different than others, I can't really see that.

I do think BLACKPINK are too popular for they're own good because they haven't used their great potential to improve and prove why they deserve to have that crazy amount of success. If Jisoo can improve her dance skills, there shouldn't be a reason their technique (vocals) and music can't improve. It's been almost 6 years since their debut! But their label is also at fault for these long hiatuses and lack of experimenting!

we are forgetting one fundamental thing: MARKETING. blackpink are literally models, sorta characters where anyone can indentify him/herself/themselves with, and the lifestyle they have + their personalities ARE attractive to a large number of people. the fact that they are brand ambassadors, look like a normal group of friends who skyrocketed in fame and are just pretty and talented is a bonus.

I honestly agree that rosé is vocally underrated and receives the most criticism for no reason even tho she’s a very good singer and dancer I also agree that pretty savage is a very addicting song in their discography

And remeber guys: constructive and positive criticism isn't equal to hate.

they were SO MUCH better the first few years 😭😭

I think it's how strong their branding is. Like just by merely hearing their music or seeing some photos or concept, it immediately clicks and reminds you of them. They have established their brand to the point that even if they have no group activity for a long time, a lot of fans still look forward to them and they stay relevant.

I think blackpink's success stems a lot from pretty privilege. There's no effort put into the group by anyone whether it's the company or blackpink themselves. Blackpink doesn't even do fan service of any kind. Are we really gonna say the company is not allowing them to speak to their fans. The only time they really engage with fans is when they're promoting something of their's. It's been two and a HALF years since their last comeback. Other than Lisa they're very average dancers and even Lisa doesn't do any dance promotions. She could be featured on a dance platform like Studio Choom. Their lack of songs is actually an insult to their fans. While other companies take pride in giving their idols' fans adequate comebacks, Yge thinks they don't have to because blackpink's fans will eat up whatever their given and y'all do eat it up. Vocal wise the group is average as well. Most of 4th gen is made up of minors. When you have teenagers outdoing veterans in vocal capability, you know something is wrong. Lastly, this is a personal gripe but their English in songs is so embarrassing. The actual English and the translations sound like a foreigner trying to sound American and it's just not it.

The problem behind their popularity is that BP does not have a discography to justify how loved they are.. they seem to work mostly as Influencers and models and their agency does not allow them to be taken seriously as artists. Imagine if a group from a small company like mamamoo had barely 20 songs that sound mostly identical... they would not be popular as bp because being from yg gave them an incredible push to start their career. It's hard to understand why they are so popular when they are constantly called the biggest gg in the world and their music is ok.. it's just ok music and it's understandable to be confused as WHY Edit: i wrote this comment in the morning when i was on a rush on my way to work so I'm going to add a few things that have been misunderstood: I don't hate bp, I think they have charisma and talent BUT their agency does not give them opportunities to really show that. They give them songs that repeat the same few concepts and are very scarce in quantity. They starve the fans for content so that they will eat up the next cb no matter what the quality is or if they finally allowed to put the girls artistic input in their music. How does a person know that they are good artists if yg forces them to sing songs made by others? And sing only 4 new songs a year and be a model the rest of the time? Anyway I really hope that they will get some personal credit and more than 5 new songs in their upcoming album. I'm not a fan but I'm rooting fot them

I think they are too popular than they should be in terms of girl k pop groups. Doesn’t mean they don’t deserve all the success. I do feel most of their setbacks is due to not promoting a lot. They haven’t been pushed to their best. YG and the group make more doing solo gigs that working on their craft. Twice, red velvet, itzy, and even soloists like hylolyn are improving drastically while black pink are at the same place as before. The potential is there but unused.

I honestly believe they were not made to be a kpop group. Their music, style, attitude and even the waiting for an album release is very western. They are a group made for the western market with elements of kpop sprinkled in.

Another thing to note is how how quickly the group blew up. When Blackpink debuted their popularity and critical acclaim was overwhelmingly high and they were incredibly well received. They were getting fan gifts and letters well before they even debuted. When their pre-debut promotional dance video for Bitch Better Have My Money released they were already too popular at that point for their own good. Which left little room for true growth. They talked about it in their documentary and the director of the documentary mentioned in several interviews how new and alien the fame is for them. Jennie even said in the movie “I wanted people to see the potential in us, didn’t necessarily have to be like “wow, this group came out and they’re so perfect in every way”. The girls seem to always be under the pressure to sell more, get more views and blow everyone out of the their way with w.e their next project is. I think this pressure comes not only from the fans but YG the label as well. They constantly promote these girls to be bigger, better, faster, stronger, than everything else in kpop only to give the girls material that will guarantee a return on the labels investment and not give the girls much to challenge them with. Truth be told most kpop groups and pop artist get very little creative control over their music and image in the very start of their career. Most labels are not going to let the girls just experiment and take chances until they’ve begun to not only break even financially but also not until they’ve establish a brand and a formula that’s certified to get the money they put into the girls back. That’s just how pop music operates no matter where it comes from. Unfortunately, the trial and error, growth, breakthroughs, and more are all happening in front and with the massive amount fans they have, who are expecting the same result every single comeback and then some. It also doesn’t help that because of the way they are promoted and the long hiatuses between comebacks (which personally doesn’t bother me much) fans will expect something revolutionary to have been made within their time away. What’s interesting is that if Blackpink had released all of their discography closer together then awkward mistakes, kinks; moments of unsureness and the overall the artist development and refinement, and grace period that’s suppose to be happening 3-5 years into any artist career would’ve happened naturally. It would’ve possibly not only humanized the girls but also wouldn’t have left fans and kpop consumers with an unfair negative perception of the girls and it wouldn’t leave the girls under pressure to live up to the last because of the big breaks that feel longer than they are. Essentially their reputation and early explosive popularity made it difficult for them to rise to the occasion, because the bar was set so high before they even began.

Blackpink is just a well marketed group that’s it

What attracts me to black pink is how they seamlessly merge English with the Korean language. By that I mean the pronunciation, the attitude, they express their music well overall, even a non Korean person like me finds it easy to follow. Edit: Guys calm down, I said HOW they do it works for me, I also love how Gidle does it even though they mostly sing in Korean, I like their flow. This is not an attack on your faves and it's not unique whatsoever, I just like HOW THEY do it, you guys make it sound like each group doesn't have a signature style and the first group I Stanned was Miss A, that should give you a hint of how long I've been listening to kpop.

I don't understand the hype. They have average voices and songs. Nothing impressive

Personally, I think they’re too manufactured. All their songs sound just about the same to me. Not to say that other groups don’t have the same issue, cause even Mamamoo has that issue, but Blackpink just don’t click for me in that regard. Hwasa alone would murder them all.

There always be someone worse or someone better . Even Bp doesn’t have great vocal skills , it doesn’t mean they don’t deserve success. I understand some people who wish success for more talented but less popular groups , but no need drag Bp. Everyone has their own way . One thing I wish : They should improve their skills . For themselves. There always room For improvement.

YG does great media play. This is why babymonster w/ a mediocre song got millions of views within hours.

I think the main problem is the lack of music content and comeback that are years apart. Being called the best, and being the most popular with so little songs that are also very repetitive and similar are difficult to process. My gripes are with YG and YG only. I wish BP had biiiiiiiger discography. I also wish girls were allowed to publish their own songs.

I feel like one of the reasons why Rosé gets more criticism for her vocals than the groups leads despite being the best in her group technique wise is because her vocal color is pretty unique for lack of better word. Out of all of them (sans Lisa) her vocals are the kind that can need time to warm up to

in my mind 3 things played a role for blackpink to be that famous today. -YG marketing -Teddy - coat tailing to exo got7 twice bts popularity in 2016-2017

Note from me as a dancer: Rosé Jenne and Jisoo are GOOD dancer who defenetly can serve dancing, especially Rosé and Jennie. But when it comes to Lisa she's just a beast, not only from her group performances does she stand out, but her technicall dancing in hiphop, high heels, isolation/popping and street Jazz is just fantastic. I've seen alot of professional dancers react to her own dance videos and they literally never have to say anything negative about her dancing skills.

You can be the best singer and dancer in the world but if you don't have that thing that makes you stand out and makes you somewhat of a star, then it's useless in this industry. Each of the blackpink girls have something that makes them stand out and that is so appealing, for exemple when i see other groups covering their songs i hate it cause it sounds too cringe whereas the girls the few songs that they covered blew out on the internet like "So Hot", everyone thought it was their own song. To be successful here you have to have that thing that others don't, even if those other idols sing better or dance better, if they don't have that thing then it won't work.

blackpink seem more like models / fashion influences now instead of relying on music for popularity lol

I kind of disagree with your opinion on their stage presence. I see you've watched Everglow-up's video on that matter (with which I also kind of disagree with). Their debut stage, their debut stage in Japan, their Coachella performances, the iconic Iceland Whistle + Jungle Playing with Fire performance, the Kill This Love stage where they wore the red outfits from the mv, their Pretty Savage Performances (especially in the Show), their So Hot cover... like I'm sorry there are so many iconic Blackpink stages. In my personal opinion, they have some of the best stage presence in Kpop and out of Big3 3rd Generation girlgroups, they are the strongest on stage especially because every member has unique charisma. I mean, I only need to say "WHAT'S UP JAPAN?" and everyone knows who and when and what.

In BP each member has a role and image that connects with the public, each one is recognizable and the four complement each other, their music is mainly intended for the international market and is consistent in its style (which you may or may not like, that is subjective ), the company has developed the image of each one in such a way that at the time when BP dissolves it will have 4 artists already positioned. Her vocal skills, dance skills and comparisons can be questioned but each of them has enough quality in her position within the group and individually.

I feel like you could have dived a whole lot deeper into why and how Blackpink achieved their mega-popularity and how detrimental it is to how kpop stans view them. Whenever any artist gets to mega popularity status they will always be scrutinized way more than underdog artists, that's how it is for everyone. I feel like your video focused more on how their skills/talents compare to other less popular groups, but c'mon that's so tired, we knooooow that BP isn't as talented as other groups. But I feel like Blackpink is very deserving of their popularity status for several reasons. 1) They have a majority of western/foreign members, giving them more of an international appeal. It is very rare for 75% of a group to be English speakers. 2) The genre of music they make and their concept give them the flexibility to make any type of music and have it match the concept and gives their music a chance to appeal to a variety of listeners. Even though they are not the most technically skilled in any category, that honestly does not matter when it comes to consumption and popularity. (Justin Bieber as a western example, mediocre singing, dancing, ect skills, but still one of the top musicians in the world). Wendy is (imo) the most talented kpop singer but she is one of the least popular members in Red Velvet. 3) Like you said, their dynamic with each other feels and looks authentic, it's enjoyable to watch them interact with each other, and each member is entirely unique, boosting their indivudual popularity as well. 4) Speaking of unique, the Pinks are just that! Extremely unique. From their visuals, to personalities, to singing tones, everything about them makes them stand out from other k-pop groups where the members tend to just blend together. I still have a hard time distinguishing the voices of Twice and Red Velvet etc. 5) Lastly, they were anticipated as 2NE1's sister group, so kinda like nepotism babies, they have a bigger start than other groups to begin with. But their popularity from that point on was entirely due to Blackpink, as each member is extremely likeable and they each have their own star power. tldr; Blackpink is mega popular because of their unique members, and their popularity is rightly deserved. Talent =/= popularity

Their Popularity and hype consists of so many things actually, it’s not just music, it’s their group chemistry, personalities, fashion style, life stories,visuals and many other things. Other groups may have better vocals, dancing abilities or other things, but bp has everything in balance, that’s why they appeal to so many people

Although Blackpink has some of the catchiest movie in entertainment today and I enjoy a lot of their songs, I always wonder if the singers could be or would even be remarked for their talent if they didn't have such a big agency behind them. There are kpop group members that are so standout that they could individually succeed without a group. But whenever I watch a blackpink performance it all seems to be very manufactured and like there's something missing. This is no hate to the girls, they're clearly hard workers. But I guess I just find them to be a bit forgettable.

I like to think of Blackpink as a group of four very attractive models who just happen to come together and sing/dance every now and then 🫣

People who think that BP did not worked hard for what they have now are completely DELUSIONAL!.

They were good before 2019 but now they set the standard low because they knew that Blinks will always supporting them even after disbandment, that's why TEDDY BEAR OPPA don't need to make more good music anymore. They will still get paid for doing the bare minimum

Nothing is wrong with them but I do feel there is artificial hype involved.

I can admit that there are more talented idols than blackpink. Yeah simple vocals and choreos, but they know how to serve and deliver

Can I be honest, popularity doesn’t mean you have to be the best at what you do, you just have to appeal to a larger audience. Blackpink do that with their bad ass style, and they don’t have to be the best at vocals or dancing to be the most popular girl group in the world. And that’s what most Kpop lovers can’t understand. They expect the most popular to be the best, but that’s not always the case.

I think they are aestheticaly pleasing But they are not as talented as people love to paint them to be YG team definitely know how to promote them thats what made them so successful I can name many other artists in kpop who deserve the success BTS and blackpink are getting The new gen of kpop idols are all aestheticaly pleasing and rarely have any real talent outside of being a group member

I think my main criticism is that they don't take part in the making of their music (company's fault) so they end up doing things that they don't always connect with and you can feel it on stage. I love their songs because they hyoe me up but compared to other groups that are more self produce I find it sad that they don't get to do that and I think its even more visible with this comeback (comeback that we waited for a long time). If the company allowed them to be more present in the making of their stuff the girls would enjoy it probably much more too

I feel like Blackpink is a good gateway group, but as you slowly immerse yourself into the larger world an diversity of groups you’ll see how BP compares to them and make your own opinions from that. I mildly liked BP in the beginning of me getting into kpop bc they were the only ones I knew besides bts. I got into more groups like Ateez, SKZ, svt, everglow, dreamcatcher, and Twice and saw myself moving away from Blackpink. I don’t think I rly have any of their songs now. It’s a personal preference of: 1. wanting to know the artists actually have personal involvement in production; 2. Music.

For me atleast stage presence may be seem obvious to u but the groups u said are not better than them in stage presence

I disagree when it comes to stage presence, you can't judge stage presence based on television performances like inkyago since all idols act either cute, sexy or fierce. When it comes to stage presence its all about energy, connection to the crowd and being hype, and im sure they almost always showcase full stage presence on concerts and festival performances. Just look at their coachella performance how they were full of energy and how they were interacting with the crowd.

I can't believe people hate on Rose, she has such a beautiful voice

Blackpink has crazy good stage presence they have proved it on many concerts, and festivals. People criticize their stage presence by looking at music shows where they have to focus on perfecting the dance which does not help. The concerts, and festivals like Coachella prove that they have very good stage presence because they’re actually enjoying the stage.

I only wish yg stop treating them like some mysterious princesses n treat them more like an artists let them do their own thing

tbh I feel like there are few to no kpop groups who are actually not overhyped/praised, like kpop fans will hear one sustained note or see one flowy move and it's like they've never seen anything more impressive ( it joins your point about calling everyone "great" to the point it loses its meaning) i personally love blackpink music because of their four vocal colors that imo match super well, and because I do not find their music repetitive in the slightest way, they have their own structure and they build something new around it everytime which I find super interesting. I don't CARE that Kill This Love has a repetitive chorus (that I enjoy) when the instrumental is that beautiful, the voices of the girls that well used and the overall concept of the song that meaningful.

People should criticise instead of adding unnecessary rage.

Well I'm a blink and I never love them bcs of their skills anyway, skills are like the bottom rock reason why I love them. If I could rank them, it would be: 1. Their vocal colours (not skill). Each member has a unique vocal both inside and outside the group. They all sound so different yet beautiful and completing each other. 2. Their songs. People might say that their song is repetitive, but for me it's okay bcs I like that girl crush genre and they always come with a totally different instrumentals. Their b sides are also diverse. 3. Their relations to each other. They're literally a family, really close and genuine to each other. 4. Skills. Their rap, singing, and stage presence can be REALLY good on some occasions 5. Visuals. They're so pretty and charismatic without a visual hole. (I know this might be a wrong reason to stan someone but I'm just being honest 🙏) So I think skills are not the main reason of why some artists are so popular. What will attract people the most are the songs and the artists personality

why i think blackpink is this successful and sometimes people call them overrated 1) obviously yg’s influence as a big 3 company: if we were serious, the girls wouldn’t be so popular after all those hiatuses if they came from a small company. it gave them the push they needed but personally boombayah was everyone’s cup of tea because of how charismatic the girls were in their debut era: whistle and boombayah are still iconic songs in kpop. 2) the members: easy names, easily recognizable faces and positions, with distinctive personalities and voices. we have lisa, cool and tomboyish, jennie who’s more badass and savage, rosie who’s sweet and sings about heartbreaks and jisoo with a more husky voice and girl-next-door aura. I think that since they are pretty different from one another people can identify themselves better, which is why there are sooo many solo stans 3) THE MVS: so expensive lookin and bomb af lmao most non kpop fans are super attracted to them + the songs are yes repetitive but flowy and with a catchy beat and the rap adds to the overall good songs. I think that the fact that they use so much english helps a lot, especially with a whole english speaking line.

I think The Answer to Why BLACKPINK is popular is very simple.. We don't need to question this!? -Antifans will always Criticize depending on their perceptions. Also when Thousands criticize while Millions keep on Enjoying We Should move with a Philosophical Principle Saying “MANY WINS" -Ppl should understand that Popularity depend on how Much Receivers Enjoy your presence. Why do many Ppl enjoy BP? it's Because BP Skills are Always Perfect in Their Fans Eyes no matter What! There is nothing like who deserve better and who deserve Less Your Fate Will tell, But Sometimes We give Love unconditionally. There is nothing like perfect (Abilities/Skills) even the Skilled ppl have to work hard to be Perfect(Never Happened bcoz it's Human Nature “No one is Perfect")everyone has a weakness. -Okay Let's talk a Serious Business now besides Kpop Idols there are Millions of people who Got all those skills mentioned as Criteria, but it's not meant to be Them. - So Anti-Fans should Enjoy being Antis and put more Effort to Cheer up Their Favorites without Bashing other people. -And Blinks Should Enjoy the Popularity of their Beloved BP and Prepare To cheer up for a CB keep on going Fighting!!! 💪💪 -Fellow Army maintain our Peace✌️ -~I just Hate How ppl like To point -ve on other people's abilities? Ain't ppl without Excellent abilities supposed to Enjoy the World?????? Stay Calm stop comparison we are Just Different.!

I personally love the way Blackpink appears as a group in terms of presence. I like their different styles and the way they balance each other out! That difference works IMO.

Nobody "deserves" to be liked or to be popular. It just happens naturally. Somehow the Black Pink members are more likeable than other group members on a subconscious level. Its similar to getting in love.

Yall arent ready for the truth. Blackpink is OMEGA populat cause they are INCREDIBLY beautiful as an entire group. Literally all 4 are stunning beyond compare. Dont believe me? Blackpink was popular BEFORE they even debuted..... Wut does that yell you? It wasnt he music or choreography that gave them the lead, it was their visual beauty.

I think this video missed extremelly important strong points of Blackpink. Lisa might not be the best vocalist in Kpop but there are many videos that prove she can sing well, Jisoo's voice has a unique personality. Jennie's rap is worth mentioning and among korean females one of the bests and Lisa's rap is the most impressive part in every blackpink song is a climax everytime,and her style can be even fit in western productions, not the typical Kpop rap of girls talking fast,making mad face thinking that is rap but no flow. Stage prescence, Twice has more? as a group maybe because they lack individual personality, in this case I think is Blackpink's strongest point, each member has it's own style and different personalities, Lisa's stage prescence is insane, luxury brands don' t choose them just for their beautiful faces only but because they can portray an image,sell it to you! And they have Lisa,the best dancer in Kpop. I'm not a Kpop fan because everything seems kids music, many members you can't tell who is who, many groups than you don't realise you are looking at a different one, they all can be confused. Blackpink, has personality, I don't need the best vocals, I rather go to Adele for that, I want to vibe and sing along and be surprised everytime and be able to tell who is who not a group of clones.

I disagree with a lot of points in this video. Idk what is collective stage presence. If you mean group dancing, then that's just performing not stage presence. Groups like Itzy, twice depend on their performance skills. But i promise you they do not have stage presence. Imo they have one of the best stage presence of 3rd gen and for me they are the best. very few kpop groups can hold the attention of a crowd outside Korea or in a place where ppl dont know their songs. Their songs are very intelligently produced idk how ppl hate their songs but go and like some of the most generic typical kpop songs with bland productions. That formula has long been forgotten since the album imo. And I love Rosie's voice so there's that. Dancing is okay but their choreos are eye catching and perfect for live performances. Simple enough for others to follow. Blackpink gets too much criticism and hate and is held to standards I don't see anyone holding other groups to. It's literally music. Even Taylor is wildly hated and I think she's one of the best songwriters of our generation. Ppl want fame for underdogs and hate the famous dogs, its wild.

I'm really curious to see what Blackpink will do once their contracts deadline approaches. I still to this day don't understand why YG didn't fully committed to Blackpink as musicians, like he did with 2NE1. Hopefully the same mistakes won't be made for the next generations of YG girl groups.

BP is a before and after since 2019. They have so much wasted potential! They're talented, and it shows in their solo projects

stage presence mediocre??? wtf have you seen their coachella performance u got to be kidding me

these blinks in the comments- embarrassing-

I don't know how YG or Teddy is doing it but I think Teddy kept the best of the best of his bangers for BP. The girls are releasing the same formulaic bangers all these 6 years but it doesn't get old for the majority of the audience. There are few complaints from fans here and there but overall, fans/people still listen to it no matter how hateful they can be lol Looking at the teasers and how it's titled as "Born Pink", I'm 90% sure that the sound is like their past EP's and The Album, the title track will have this big and huge beat drop again, no actual concept/storyline, the girls being fierce/edgy and it's a wrap lol But fans will still eat it up. Undeniably, the girls are extremely charming and also talented but in the 6 years that they have, there were no room for the growth when it comes to musicality. What they were able to built is this signature of a distinct, massive sound that even if they keep on doing the same formula and sound, people still like it and it never gets old lmao And to be honest, this feels like their last release as a group. Next year is their 7th year, time for the "7th year itch" as well as the expiration of their contracts. I'm not too hopeful that they will continue as a group.

Their stage presence is insane, INDIVIDUALLY. Lisa- masculine, overt, dominant Jennie- feminine, overt, dominant Rosé- feminine, overt, sensual Jisoo- feminine, covert, sensual But together they’re not as connected, since none of them tone it down.

You all can hate but among kpop ggs only blackpink can attract general public .That is why they are still popular without comeback.Also they have strong rap duo(Jenlisa)/good stage presence and best female dancer (She is always viral for her dance).

Are they the best ? No. Do I love them ? Yes. Do I follow any other kpop group but them ? No.

It’s funny to me how the only people that criticize blackpink and say they’re overrated are the people who have zero natural talent and sit on their ass all day on KZfaq while the actual vocal coaches who are professionals all agree that blackpink are excellent vocalists 💀💀 just a tad bit funny

As a casual listener of them is like i dont "hate them " or anything but its weird to me , i wouldnt pay that much money to see them or to buy their albums or stuff .-.

The term “overhyped” doesn’t make any sense, people really thinks that they need to do whistle notes while giving backflips to justify their million of sales and streams?💀 people are so obsessed worn blackpink popularity bc they want that for their faves, but if your faves can’t get attention from public it’s their fault, not blackpink fault, stop it

I think no other group faces the amount of criticism that blackpink does, and not always in a constructive way... the groups is full of talent, all members are soloist material, why are people doubting about their skills? My only problem with blackpink is actually the music, which isn't bad, but having less than 30 songs doesn't help, and the fact that a lot of them are done with the same formula makes their music kinda boring, which is the reason why I don't listen to their music as much as I used to I think they should fire Teddy cause I know there's a lot of producers dying for working with blackpink, but I know that's not gonna happen lol Anyway, Blackpink in our area, THE QUEENS ARE COMING BACK

Literally if we make rose covers playlist it will be bigger than bp actuall songs 😭😭

they’re definitely overrated. I saw a video of them from their concert they were a MESS!

Blackpink has charisma,grace,swag,perfect rap,acceptable vocals,catchy songs,great stage presence,great lyrics and diversity Definitely these factors are not basic so you can’t say Blackpink has become famous for nothing.you might find Blackpink attractive you also might find them unattractive,it’s up to you

I agree with everything you said, except for the part they sing mostly live, they USED to sing a lot live, even the clips u used were old, also mr removed do not detect prerecorded vocals, but it’s pretty obvious it’s lipped since all their stages sound the same. If I’m not wrong none of the HYLT and LSG performances at music shows are live

The lack of good, consistent music is why I think they're incredibly overhyped. They disappear for several months (which could be career ending for other groups) to give a song of a familiar formula. It's hard to take them seriously. Yes, that's obviously yg's fault, but that affects my experience with the group.

They don't have great vocals, but they are really great in rap... And their stage presence is on another level...

I believe they became famous mostly because of their company. Let's face it, YG has some of the most successful and famous kpop groups and artists out there. Personally, I think their strengths are stage presence (individually), rap (if yg allowed them to showcase better rap and write their verses it'll be more prominent), and visuals. Starting off with dance since I'm a dancer myself, I personally think they do pale in comparison to other groups. Even the choreography given to them are mediocre and sometimes repetitive. Blinks also say Lisa is the best dancer in kpop or one of the best but I personally disagree. She isn't bad per se (she's good!), but in terms of technicality, technique and versatility, there are plenty of better dancers. Take for example: Hyoyeon, Momo, Seungyeon, Chungha. Vocals, I think they're individually all decent even good, it's just that their vocals don't particularly fit the concept of their group like Rose for example. Her voice seems to fit slower songs and her voice really shines with those. Music isn't really the members' fault either, mostly because their company doesn't give them enough comebacks and sticks to one genre.

Rose and Lisa are the ones who stood out for me among the four. The other two blends in for me with other female idols. Chemistry is like love. It is either there, or not. Someone wished Blackpink to disband because they love the group, so the girls can be freed from YG and reach their full potential. There might be something there. I also must agree with some comments which suggest that their fans is their weakest point.

You kind of lost me when you made the comment about them having an "infamous reputation for being the rock bottom among Kpop girl groups in nearly every aspect possible." That's just flat out deranged hater labeling there. I mean people can argue about whether they're at the very top among girl groups with regard to skills in various aspects or whether they're closer to average for some aspects. But talking about them being the "rock bottom" is just unhinged hyperbole that has lost all connection to any recognizable reality. There is a lot of competition down near the bottom...and Blackpink is not in that area.

It seems to me that one can't say Blackpink don't deserve their success, after all the market decides such things. I will say their success is not proportional to the quality of their music. I don't blame the members for this, I blame the producers. The instrumentals are uninspired, simplistic, and repetitive, even between songs. The vocals, especially lately, focus too heavily on Jennie/Lisa. They have relegated the talent that is Rose, and the awesome/ unique tone of Jisoo's voice, to the prechorus/sections of the bridge. Where rap sections in much of kpop serve as a nice counter/change up to the rest of the song, in BP songs these days, they are dominant, and are far less impactful as a result. To put this in perspective, Blackpink was the first kpop group I listened to, they launched me down the rabbit hole, but none of their music has grabbed me since "Forever Young." Add to this the fact they don't produce much music, and I lost interest. Groups like Dreamcatcher, Pixy, and Twice(my three personal favorites) have been working their butts off recording and promoting album after album, while Blackpink takes 2 year breaks to make mediocre music. In that regard, Blackpinks fame and fortune seems remarkably unjust. Anyway, just my two cents.

Blackpink is just like any other gg, they're honestly so overrated

Looks at how Lisa's money and lalisa are successful songs despite being pure trash in every single way, if thats not proof that BP are too overhyped idk what is

I honestly love their b-sides more than their title tracks, and I love their title tracks the only title track I LOVE is Playing with fire ❤😞

Your video is great as always but this time is just….. like you gave an opportunity to haters💀 There’s nothing wrong if you guys are going to criticize them as long as you guys respect and don’t insult the girls (some people in this comment section literally did 🥲)

You know what the problem is? Lack of discography+lack of members' interest besides Rosé's. I'll use examples of groups I'm fairly familiar with. Twice- for example has 3mix (Jihyo, Jeongyeon and Nayeon) for vocals. The rest of the members improved or stayed the same but they're functional. Twice has really good dancers but I'd say only 4 members are actual consistent preformers however Twice as 9 work on stage. But it's important to notice that Twice also have 2-3 comebacks per year and that they also have over 40 songs that members written. Their music has involved over time, getting more personal as well. Red Velvet has Wendy and Seulgi as good vocalists, decent dancers and I know people question their stage presence a lot but still Red Velvet still has a lot diverse discography which keeps people interested in them. And they mostly have regular comebacks. Itzy has weak vocalists, but great dancers with good stage presence and complex choreography. Even if people aren't big fan of their songs, it's always good to see them preform. And they also similar to their seniors have multiple comebacks during year. Aespa has pretty balanced vocals, alright dance line and even if they get hate for stage presence which is subjective they're still showing some kind of uniqueness in Kpop with their SMU. Blackpink rarely comebacks, if they do they mostly relay on company's producers and songwriters, their choreographies aren't as complex and they don't seem to improve between comebacks. Yeah, Jisoo has shown improvements in dance so did Rosé in vocals but they still feel as rookies who haven't involved as an artists, preformers or singers even after 6 years. Even during long breaks, Rosé is the only one who releases covers with Lisa occasionally giving dance practices. It just seems like they aren't too passionate about their idol life and the audience can feel it. Especially because there are groups that are giving more content for free, improving more drastically or who brings more diversity.

Tbh I feel like bp just had the luck that they debuted when BTS made steps into the west, because whenever there is a popular Boygroup, there needs to be a somewhat popular "counter"-girlgroup. The (beautiful) bad-girl image was kinda new at that time and I think more easy to see for the west than typical kpop girlgroups. So they were just lucky to be at the right place the right time

BlackPink have one of the Uniq Voices...Every member have very Diff style of Vocal... That's why I like them is Easier for me to tell which one which and They do have Stage P When Doing Live Performance And their Acting skills I mean Facials expression is Top tier(For me) even In MV...This is my Opinion why they're Famous

Wow..what a great platform for haters. The thing is they may not be the best in vocals or dances, people's expectations are too high on them. But something that stands out for me is their music. It just gives a different vibe from the typical kpop concepts. All the more reasons for the hype and success especially at the international level.

when i was 12 yrs old my friend told me about blackpink (before i was army)she was a blink and i was like ok and i heard their songs at first there songs were good and then i came to know about other girls groups and i realized that other songs are even more catchy and better than why bp are more famous .

I love how the bgm are dreamcatchers song instrumentals 😂❤️❤️

Let's say that what you say is true is that they were absent for less than two years. Many girl bands have emerged, but they have not diminished their popularity even a little bit. On the contrary, even if they have this popularity, of this company increases, all this is due to Black Pink because they were absent fans want to fill the vacuum with other bands or at least find an alternative. I watch other teams like Dreamcatcher, aspa, or any Korean band that always show up, there's something missing. nothing It can fill the vacuum left by the girls and I saw there were some comments being a band from a big company HH, the agency sm and jyp especially sm have many teams girls with good voices but something is missing from them like the red velvet band Despite the beautiful sounds, there is no chemistry among the members also the vocies icant remmber who is who even Twice, and even if we talk to the boys bts as well, not the best band. They also came from a small agency at the end of the day. It doesn't matter the idol is talented or not, or a he come from big company or not. Everything is about music if it touches your heart or not and yg knows how to make muisic if like it or not the swag they have the present on the stage many group does not have that.

I think their too popular for what they have. They're more models that occasionally sing lazy produced songs rather than idols that spent years undergoing intense training. Most idols have continued training after they debut to further develop skills. Based on the growth, it seems like that probably stopped after the first 2 years. BP is a group that had SO much potential as idols. They fit well together, they have good chemistry, they have a natural stage presence, their voices have great colors. Imagine if they had continued to be promoted as idols and artists, image where they would be if they had the freedom to make their own music. They'd have more than 1 world tour in 7 years. They'd have a full length album by now. They'd have one comeback a year. They'd have more songs than a rookie group. They'd have the tools available to improve where they do lack. Their management is the same that has caused groups to fail in the past, it's amazing that they haven't. The "quality over quantity" bullshit saved it.

I’m honestly very excited for their comeback

Black pink may not be the best in each indivisual catagory but according to me what they create is always dynamic and how they execute it simply outstanding ..... That's the reason I love them as a group .

I remember the first time I get to know Blackpink, Their music for a 13 yo girl who was me was just too good to be true and though I wasn't a fan of them still couldn't deny the fact that they were different

Even though blackpink doesn't release a lot of content They are the only kpop group I'm interested in

That Bridge in Ready For Love gave me goosebumps!

they are popular and famous because they got GD's resources in luxury industry.

They use same tune for all songs 🙄

I remember seeing a video of someone saying blackpink always lip sync. Which is a complete lie and I’m glad this video points out that they do sing live.

The thing that bothers me with blackpink is that they have a LOT of time to improve unlike other idols who have many, many more schedules compared to them but they just don't. Aside from the fact that rosé improved on her vocals, I don't see anything else from the others. If anything, there's more regression than improvement. Also the fact that blinks have made it a habit to overpraise them for their frankly sub-par skills also irks people

For me the reason why blackpink are popular is because 1 they are only 4 and easy to identify as every one of them is different from the other unlike other girl groups consisting of 8+ members stacked into a fking 3 min track 2 three of them are fluent in english which means a wider appeal. 3 Jisoo has a unique voice even though she's a weak vocalist. 4 Lisa is a stage beast.
