Anyway I hope you had a good Halloween 🎃🎃🎃😘😘😘

I think we all, including them, need to stop worrying so much about the Grammys... Those awards are not given out based on artistic excellence or even popularity... You've got to playing ball with the right people. Many amazing artists have been constantly snubbed by the Grammys while objectively worse songs have been awarded... It means nothing.

That said, if they won or even got nominated for something like PTD a part of me would almost be offended on their behalf knowing how many amazing songs they've personally played big roles in creating, along with their team... But who knows how they themselves would feel...

Right now, it seems pretty obvious to me that a new album / comeback is imminent so I'm just looking forward to that.... To songs that are actually written and produced by my favourite artists, that tell their own stories and reflect their actual artistic sensibilities and talents.

I do have faith in their taste and skills. I just hope that in the future they will play a greater role in any English language releases (or at least the big hit producers will) as well and make sure the music and lyrics feel more authentically them... It's possible. Even if you run your Korean lyrics through a translation app and then get a professional English speaking song writer to tidy them up and make them sound good... You know, like Tae seems to have done for Sweet Night, which no one could deny is definitely a 'Tae song', despite being in English.

Unlike PTD (or Dynamite... I haven't forgotten how much I dislike you either) defenders constantly claimed, for people who didn't like the song, the language was really not the problem... At least not directly. The problem was that, if you like BTS's music, PTD seemed like a complete departure from what makes them them... In pretty much every way... Sonically, lyrically... Even the choreography was cutesy and twee and I'm sorry but these grown men looked rather ridiculous doing it... To the point that I literally still can't watch a performance of it without getting second hand embarrassment... A young rookie girl group with a peppy, cute, innocent image would have been better suited to the concept perhaps and would have made it seem believable and genuine (if you can imagine a rookie version of s*nsd or t*wice totally selling a song then you know it's NOT a BTS song... This is not intended as a diss at all to those groups BTW. I'm actually a fan of those groups (T*wice's first English single is vastly superior to Dynamite imo, come at me!) because they knew / know their brand and sell it well and actually, I think, in some ways really epitomise what made Kpop so unique when I first got into it... but they had a very different style and essence which suited them but does not seem genuine when coming from BTS who are very different kinds of artists. Which makes total sense as they made completely different music...) ...
