I love T-Ara and I love their comeback single "Number 9", but as time goes on, I keep having this frustration with whoever the line arranger is. Soyeon is by no means the strongest vocalist in the group but somehow she gets the most lines... ever. More than Eunjung and Hyomin who are far better vocalists than her, heck even Boram is kicking everyone's ass in that department with her flawless vocals and raps.
Soyeon is your typical KPop singer, she isn't a great vocalist, she isn't the visual, she isn't the most popular and she for sure isn't the most likable, so it baffles me that comeback after comeback she keeps getting the most lines. For the past year and a half I used to let it slide because she was the leader at the time, but Qri took over this past summer and she still has the most lines.
I get her voice is appealing for choruses and hooks, but she can't sing live. She sings along to the backing track as badly if not worst than Qri (and my Queen can't sing to save her life.)
To compare.
Day by Day
WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? She gets the bridge and that's what she decides to sing? And Qri and Boram get TWO LINES. THE ACTUAL FUCK?
Sexy Love
Yes, I can feel your love, I can't feel or hear your vocals though boo. And again Qri gets like no lines.
Number 9
O.o What is this? At least Qri has an excuse, she was originally going to be a model, not a singer. She was added to the group with out the years of training Soyeon had. What's your excuse Soyeon?
My only request is that CCM gets their shit together and give Qri and Boram more lines. Especially Qri since she's the new leader.
There's no excuse to why Soyeon has so many lines.
