Rainie Yang 1st THREAD

[maddy1111]

the chorus is a bit repetitive, especially at the very end of the track, but surprisingly this genre fits her perfectly! Really excited what her new album is going to sound like!

PS: I guess, her fans are not very happy about this change by looking at all those dislikes on youtube :-/

Indeed :/
I read a bit of the comments yesterday, and basically they say:
*MV looks like dated K-Pop MV
*MV does not convey any message, it's just a fashion show
*the lyrics suck and make no sense
*the song is awful
*it sounds more like an Amber An song
*this genre is not like her, she's not sexy enough to carry this style of MV/music
*Jolin does it better in this kind of music/MV.

Jimi Chou (co-director) posted a message on Weibo to say that Rainie must be supported because she tried to get out of her comfort zone after 20 years of career.

[maddy1111]

well ... I agree with some comments, but strongly disagree with a lot of them

*MV looks like dated K-Pop MV - I hate like almost every Cpop MV that is a little bit higher budget and there are a lot of costumes and dancing is compared to Kpop. In fact what Kpop has been doing mostly was trying to be like those high budget US pop MVs and no one is saying anything about that.

*MV does not convey any message, it's just a fashion show - well, yeah, but does every MV need to have some kind of message? I know it is kind of typical for Cpop MV to convey some "message" but I would say you don't usually expect that when watching MV for song like BAD LADY

*the lyrics suck and make no sense - I agree, actually lyrics make no sense, it is just bunch of "cool" phrases and I especially don't like her singing "慢歌都有毒" considering that she has been singing mostly slow songs for almost 15 years of her career. It is kind of dumb to sing that line.

*the song is awful - no comment, depends on individual taste. You can say it about every song, so ...

*it sounds more like an Amber An song - yeah, that are some similarities, but Amber An is on totally another level than Rainie ... and I mean much lower level, ehm

*this genre is not like her, she's not sexy enough to carry this style of MV/music - not sexy enough? Actually, before watching MV I was thinking that if she is trying "too much" to be sexy, it'd be just embarrassing, but after watching MV I must say she naturally transfered from her cute persona to this hot diva.

*Jolin does it better in this kind of music/MV. - sure, she DOES, but you cannot compare everyone who is trying to be "trendy" to Jolin. Elva has been trying to achieve the same popularity as Jolin for years and so what? can there be only one pop singer like Jolin? I guess not ... it is POPular music in the end.

so yeah, some comments make no sense, but at least she is trying to stay relevant after all these years which is definitely good for her

to me rainie is sexiest woman alive, all these are so personal. I dont like jolin at all, I hate comparisons. it sounds like they want her to continue her safe zone.

I liked Ai De Qi (the song), but I totally agree with you.

This exactly. Poor Rainie is condemned to sing ballads til the end of time

I don't like her new era and new album at all .. it's just bunch of general dance pop. The last track I liked by her was that one with Show Luo, but that was yeeears ago

omg, tysm! SONG IS SO GOOOD whaaaaaaaaaaaaaaat, its soo so good

[koumori]

The new song is so good I love it

[cosmicfirefly]

I'm excited for her new album, I love it when artists try new styles. I'm not a huge fan of BAD LADY because the lyrics sound a bit repetitive to me, but I like the genre so I wouldn't mind it if she did more songs in that style.

Looks like SINGING IN THE RAIN was supposed to be released on October 8th in the first place ? I wonder if they released it out of the blue a week earlier because of BAD LADY's "bad buzz" ?

Her staff has also added English subs to the MV (they weren't there a few hours ago when I watched the MV).

[maddy1111]

might be ... I am also wondering if Singing in the Rain was originally scheduled to be released as the second track/MV or they rushed it a little bit, because they wanted to release some song that fits Rainies image more after that backlash to BAD LADY.

[Yoake]

I had missed a chapter and was wondering what you were talking about XD. Well most of her past albums were ballads. She barely did something else. So it was expected that changing her style will hurt suckers of ballads.
Personally, I don't like BAD LADY at all. The song is very generic and repetitive. + it's not my favourite kind of music. But I'm totally ok that she wants to do something else.

Singing in the rain is different from her past ballads too. The chorus reminds me about a bit Maaya Sakamoko. I like it. It's much better than Like a star.

[Linoa62]

Rainie's upcoming single is called 女孩們 Girls ! No release date yet.
It's a collaboration with Cyndi Wang !

[maddy1111]

jeez, she is really slaying this year kinda unexpected collaboration, cannot wait to hear the song.

[Linoa62]

Girls is described as a funk dance song. Produced by Razor Chiang and ØZI.

MV with English subs ! Is it me or the English translations of her singles' lyrics are quite terrible ? I wonder who is doing them...
