3/8/2024 0 Comments What is Seventeen debut songIt’s catchy and cute and totally stuck in my head. I actually have only followed one group entirely since debut (Got7) so I don’t know how good a debut song should be, but this song seems to get the job done. But I think what made me enjoy it so much was that they all just looked they were legitimately having fun. Random bits, such as lifting a member into the air during the world “angel,” creating a train and basically pretending to be a train, and that one part where Hoshi pretends to give CPR to S.Coups, all helped to make the choreography more entertaining. It created not only a concept, but it was cute and age appropriate and made the performance a whole lot more interesting than just dancing. Fighting for attention (fighting for the right to adore you) was built into choreography with things like pushing each other aside to sing or literally picking each other up and moving them out of the way. This song is called “Adore U,” but what I really liked was how this meant the boys were each trying to prove that they would adore you in different ways. Imagine like attempting to wrangle up a group of 13 teenage boys and making them dance in sync? It doesn’t exactly sound like a walk in the park to me. I have to hand it to them though, because despite the enormous group and the fact that they are pretty young for a debut, the choreography was tight, synchronized, and not to mention creative. I was definitely skeptical at first because 13 is an awful lot. But if any other group debuts anytime soon with more than 7 members imma flip. And yeah, more members means more talent and faces to enjoy. I mean a lot of members can be cool if you can successfully create choreography and evenly distribute lines and screen time and such. What is this, the music industry? But, I don’t know. Which reminds me, like, what ever happened to groups of 5 or 6 members? Is that not a thing anymore? It’s like companies are in a competition of who can create the biggest and most successful boy band. I originally meant that as a joke until I realized it wasn’t…) Seventeen is actually a 13 member group which is just totally confusing now but I’m going to let it slide because 17 would have just been way too high a number to take seriously anyway. (Or maybe 17 was just the average age of all the members. At least that’s how I understood it anyway. I think they were supposed to debut with seventeen members, hence the name. Seventeen is a group under Pledis Entertainment, the same company that of which NU’EST, After School, and Orange Caramel are under. And okay, so maybe they aren’t getting younger and I’m just getting older, but still. As more groups debut, the younger they are, the younger my biases will be, and the creepier I will become. I know that this is a reality I’m going to have to accept from now on. Since then, I wanted so badly to avoid Seventeen all together because they are literal babies and I’m already reaching new creeper noona levels as my biases are slowly tiptoeing over the line and into birth years after 1995. I remember seeing 19 on some of the early profiles and basically crying. Really, I don’t know how I knew or happened upon them, but I had already looked into them months ago mostly because I was intrigued by their young ages at the time. I also chose to review their performances rather than music video for two reasons: It’s their debut stage, so performance is obviously important and also I didn’t really like the video as much as the live performance. There are a lot of performances of just this song to watch though, so obviously I watched them all and am basing my review off of all of them. I’m a little late in the game, Seventeen debuted over two weeks ago, but the first performance I initially saw of this was MBC Show Music Core (150606). As much as I really wanted to talk about EXO’s “Love Me Right” and Big Bang’s “Bang Bang Bang,” I chose Seventeen’s “Adore U” in particular because it was a debut performance while others were comebacks and because I have already heard of Seventeen prior to this and was always intrigued by them. There have been so many comebacks happening lately and it probably has something to do with it being the beginning of the summer, I’m not sure because I don’t pay attention to timing of these things, but that meant I had to choose which performance I wanted to review out of the many.
