Professional Critics Rank K-Pop's Top 5 Best & Worst Idols

waterballoon · #1 17th September 2010, 02:38 AM

Take a read at this interesting article; the critics explain why they chose the idols too:

http://www.allkpop.com/2010/09/profe...nd-worst-idols

And for those who don't wanna read, here are the rankings:

Top 5 Best Idols:
1. BoA
2. SNSD
3. BIG BANG
4. S.E.S
5. DBSK/TVXQ/Tohoshinki

Top 5 Worst Idols:
1. C.N. BLUE
2. ZE:A
3. SUPER JUNIOR
4. H.O.T
5. Rain

---

What do you guys think? Personally I think TVXQ should rank higher lol; the reasons stated for "worst" idols aren't totally ungrounded actually, as in they made sense, so I could understand why lol

they got BoA right. i was surprised at SNSD's position being that high..i'd expect critics to tear them apart. i'm happy for them though~ also i don't think super junior should be on the worst list.

holy crap at the comments section on that site. brb to make some popcorn and read all of them and choke while laughing so hard.

i agree with most of this list, though i don't understand why cn blue is number one on the worst list. the article basically says they're the worst for being accused of plagiarizing when a lot of k-pop has been plagiarized. so why chose them of all groups? because they're a fake band? idgi.

Well on either list I only like BoA. She has nice songs. So I think its good she's at top cuz she owns all by herself. What a doll.

yeah... I don't get the plagiarizing part.. they've plagiarized songs? And they were kinda unhappy/pissed about rock bands "passing off" as idol groups as well.... lol well that was the only thing I disagreed about

Ranma Matsuri · #6 17th September 2010, 03:07 AM

*reading comments* LOL @ the hating on BoA and SNSD, fangirls I swear.

And even though idgaf about DBSK I'm surprised they weren't higher and also didn't expect the Wonder Girls to be missing from that list but oh well. Go SNSD! XD

they've been accused of plagiarism, but tbh accusations like that are sadly common in kpop so it makes no sense to choose them for that reason alone. the person who wrote the article just sounds bitter about an idol group pretending to be a band.

Kingdom · #8 17th September 2010, 03:12 AM

I agree with the WORST list excluding 1 & 5, they are good.

I strongly disagree with the TOP list. BoA is a good artist, but she is not number 1.

Idk, they said professional reviewers made this list but it seems more like an SM stan.

ps this comment on allkpop made me laugh.

they didn't seem to like F.T Island cos they were a rock band passing off to be an idol group too... lol oh well~

and oh the comments xD Most of them are meant to be ignored

the stans there are ridiculously trollish lol

love in music · #11 17th September 2010, 03:54 AM

i love how people on akp are saying the professional critics aren't really professionals because they didn't put their favorite group near the top

i was loling for a good while at the comments but then some just got scary and creepy D:

They must be both blind and deaf.
Sorry for being biased but what?? SNSD above DBSK? Rain, HOT and SJ is the worst? WTF.
RETARD.

At least this person knows her bias, unlike the other blissfully unaware morons commenting. Seriously the #1 complaint is 'the critics are biased' and then they include their own obviously biased list. XD

NintendoHTF1242 · #13 17th September 2010, 04:04 AM

um what a dumb list. kthxbai.

Kingdom · #14 17th September 2010, 04:13 AM

why is it that 90% of k-pop stans are mentally challenged it seems. at least on the internet

Ranma Matsuri · #15 17th September 2010, 04:21 AM

^LOL ikr?

Best comment of the night:

There’s about as much ignorance in this thread as the oh so hated “netizens”. SO tell me again, what it is that differentiates you “international” fans from them again?

and lol K-Pop stans scare me some times... what irony to call the critics biased yet their own preferred lists aren't... that fair anyway

JackieRos · #17 17th September 2010, 04:24 AM

only S.E.S. belong in the best idols

I don't get the hype in SNSD

(mostly) cute girls who (some of them anyway) have good singing voices. It's marketing, just like most idol groups have.

They are popular in Japan too, though, so it's kind of undeniable that they're likeable.

**milky_way** · #19 17th September 2010, 04:35 AM

Allkpop's comment section is a cesspool, but it brings so much lulz

oh isn't he the one who skipped his military service..? *googles* omg okay he's.. not that.. cutie anymore~

anyway I'm pretty sure each of us has an "best idol" list to us... obviously it's gonna differ from the "professional critics" or those retarded stans commenting on the site... we should look at such things with a wide heart lol, I never believe any of these anyway, what I think is best - is best.
