love it when there are women on my screen
Sep. 2nd, 2021 01:37 pmi've been thinking a lot about trying to continue my gp999 posts since i had a lot of fun writing the first, but since i started watching gp999 with a friend on the weekends i've realised that a) i say probably most of the things i want to say then, and b) i no longer take notes as i watch bc i'm active/reacting in chat instead, which means i would either have to write entirely from memory or rewatch the full episodes? because even if i don't intend to write full on reviews/episode synopses i still like to touch upon things that happen in the episodes, which works only if i have a vague outline of my reactions and things that interested me.
that said i'm so sad we're already arriving at the first elimination! avoiding spoilers for tomorrow's episode is probably going to be really difficult when so many of my twitter mutuals also watch the show, and most watch it live? i'm not ready to see girls go, and i'm just desperately hoping for some of my less popular faves to make it - if wen zhe and wang yale don't make it to next round i will cry, but i'm hoping babymetal's momoko being in her cell and and wen zhe's good edit in ep3 will save her, and for wang yale i'm desperately hoping jeongmin's slight highlightisation/positive edit throughout and the jeongmin/yale push in ep4 have made ppl notice her? (a lot of ppl seem to think she was one of the better parts of the mic drop perf, but whether or not this translates to votes....)
i've also been started watching stage boom on iqiyi as part of the weekly weekend women watching with lily! a bunch of female artists/idols are competing for resources and opportunities to perform basically, probs since there are less opportunities to be on stage in c-ent compared to like kpop/jpop?
the girls on it i'm familiar with are mainly (ex-)kpop idols in form of yuqi, xuanyi, jieqiong and qcyn2 winning group members keran and anqi, but also cql actress turned chuang2020 winning group member chen zhuoxuan! other contestants are yamy (former rocket girls members tgt w xuanyi, idk her but have vaguely positive feelings abt pre-show for no reason), lexie liu (have heard a couple songs by), vava and shan yichun who were both completely new to me tho i think i might've heard vava's name a couple times before.
it's a lot of fun so far tho! the episodes are long, there's a lot of fun moments including some FRIENDSHIP IS MAGIC AND BEING GIRLS IS THE MOST SPECIAL THING, and also some things that i hate/get extremely stressed out by but overall my feelings are very positive. i'm so excited for the couple stages coming this week, even if like none of the collabs i really wanted to happen are going to happen! (oh yuqi how i wish you went with a partner you wanted/who wanted you rather than the person who picked the same song, even if i understand your reasoning...) it's so annoying two teams will be eliminated though because i have someone in every team i don't want to see go yet.
fav perfs so far: czx - open up, czx - exist?, syq - giant, wxy - i want us together, yamy - beijing journey
a biased list perhaps, but these were the performances that appealed the most to me personally! shan yichun is a SANGER tho i'm just not crasy about her perfs (tho her rnb all night 90 sec perf veeeeery lovely), and lexie's artistry and attention to her performances is incredible and i did quite like both of her performances.
