BIBI MAKES HISTORY WITH WORLDWIDE TOP 40 RADIOS IN THE US

”Weekend” is in English, but many better songs.. and no…I don’t listen to the radio… and I’m not Korean..

@vonhelmholtz    Gave Bibi a quick VT listen it's the same regurgitated current dance/pop in a different wrapper. 

@dayglow

That’s a fair evaluation and can be said of much of the music posted here in the jazz, classical, or name the genre. I like this particular wrapper. I must admit that I listen to this genre of music more when I’m exercising vs sitting in my listening room. Of course, much of her material is her own, but subject to what is popular these days. This includes topical music and clearly sexualized presentation. In Korea, entertainment companies control their stars much like 1940’s Hollywood, but even to a greater degree. She started in 2019-2020 as COVID hit and is about to star in her first TV drama playing against one of Koreas top male leads, so she has been a fast rising star, but this happens going with what is popular.

@vonhelmholtz    Appreciate your mature response. Was not criticizing your choice of music since I am of fan of extreme metal which many here think its noise? They might be right since most extreme metal is poorly recorded. IMO Classical/Baroque Jazz and Classic Rock has a much wider range of diversion then current pop music.
