2 more fun facts: - Minnie's in-ear monitor was broken so she had to sing purely relying on the audio that the audience heard I believe which is veryyy tricky especially in such a big stadium - idle actually sang with no backtrack at ALL if you watch fancams. it seems like MAMA added some on in the live recording but they went completely backtrack-less and they sounded perfect

fay

nearly all of idle's songs are self written by at least one member especially their newer ones. for fate and super lady soyeon was the main producer. soyeon is the main producer of all their title tracks (excluding I want that and last dance because those were done in collaboration with other companies). 4/5 of idle members have produced and written music, I know you're probably familiar with this info somewhat but I'm just refreshing memory just in case

fay

might be kinda biased but zb1 and boynextdoor stole the show for me, their stages were sooo good and both groups are great at performing. I also loved txt’s (ofc) and meovv is def on my radar now ! also im glad you enjoyed boynextdoors performance! they’re sooo talented and keep getting better

imani

you pausing right on jiwoong’s abs had me crying 😭

imani

No lie, I'm not going to say I'm passionate about the vocals/singing but it definitely enhances my experience and praise. I've complimented so many live stages in the past where a lot of people are like bruh it's prerecorded and I'm like bruhhh lmao! I agree on ZB1's that was my experience here too!

anthonytoo

but generally i tend to assume pre-recorded for most kpop performances before i assume it's live lol

Lele

something i don't personally love about kpop (but have accepted and respect to some extent) is the tendency toward EITHER having a completely pre-recorded track that they're singing to, or having a really loud backtrack over the real live vocals. It's frustrating as the audience and as someone who's really passionate about singing and vocals. Like zerobaseone had some moments where I was convinced it was prerecorded and some where I was convinced it was live. I have no clue

Lele

zerobaseone is the only group here i watch/listen to regularly and they smashed it in my opinion. idle and bnd really surprised me with how much i enjoyed them despite not knowing their songs well!!

Lele

ZB1 and BND had my favourite performances in this compilation! They really went above and beyond with props, stage direction, dancers! The whole LA Day was weird.. I don't understand why they had to have part of the awards in LA AND at Dolby Theatre which is so small.. it works for the Oscars, but the whole point of MAMA is to have grand performances in huge stadiums with a large audience where artists can go all out and perform beyond the limitations of a regular music show stage..

🔥🔥🔥 - Mama I made it to Mama BAR. I love that, thank you!!

anthonytoo

We're at the same point lol

anthonytoo

aahhhh that's why the crowd kept chanting soobin, how sweet. I hope he'll be alright, next few months is wild. If the companies prioritized the $$ less, this wouldn't happen 😞

anthonytoo

I seen that on twitter I was like aw! I hope it can do something!

anthonytoo

Definitely! Enhypen is on the next video :D

anthonytoo

and yes omg boynextdoor had the best performance out of the rookies this year. i swear if you didn’t know anything about them you would think they had been in the game for a lot longer than they have been.

in soyeon’s rap the line mentioning soojin was “remember in 2021 you said we would be nothing without soojin.” throwing shots to all the people who said gidle would fail without soojin being with them and she threw shots at cube in the rap. and as of the mma awards soyeon stated that they all have renewed with cube. a lot of people are kinda confused about it seeing as the girls have been dissing cube for years now but i just want to say gidle are the only reason cube hasn’t shutdown. they are the main source of income for them which means they hold all the power in contract discussions. i know for a fact that idle has negotiated the best terms and got exactly what they wanted out of the contract renewal similar with blackpink resigning with yg. moving companies would have been terrible considering cube DOES give them 100% creative control and freedom.

sincerely, nai.

Sunhye Loading Freestyle lyrics: Remember the reactions of the people when they first saw us "You think that'll work?" Frowned by more than half of em But now, finally, I'm answering with a straight face, yeah i got em No need for words, you can tell me where i am Mama, i made it, even made it to MAMA But still, I'm not satisfied, imma levitate Like the clouds I'll rise high, imma make it rain Drip, drippin' water, pour it all, i don't hesitate I'll eat it all up, surprisingly I'm still growing (ATE) The little ones cause trouble, almost like Fast & Furious (ATE THAT) In the rearview mirror, they copy, hate my style, my vibe But they can't copy this (taps mic) L I V E !

Young Posse - I actually missed this perf. Going to LA was perfect for them though. These are the type of rap girls I need to be showing up on these survival shows not embarrassing us. This was fun! Like I said this was a great year. You already mentioned checking out Katseye, IZNA and I'd like to add Enhypen.

mssmercedes

RIIZE - yeah the situation is extremely tough but the fans have not given up! I'm not deep enough in the fandom to be the one to comment too much but I just feel like literally nothing is impossible but people really have to stay strong on their boycotting and other activities. The members themselves are still leaving his space open in there formations whenever they can so I hope people are taking heart.

mssmercedes

TXT - soobin is out sick possibly for the next few months😞. They didn't get too specific but most of the fans have clocked it as overwork because various members have been getting sick all year they've just been doing too much. I love their new song I'm just pissed off at how short it is. Like that song deserved to be damn near 4 minutes. It seems so unnecessary too because it's not a very tik Tok trendy kind of song I don't understand. The live stage was lovely though.

mssmercedes

G-Idle - fire as expected from them super lady was a fixture in my house all year and not you getting pleasantly jump scared by bibi mid performance LOL

mssmercedes

BND - such a charming and energetic performance. I'm at the point with this group where I'm unwillingly starting to learn the members names and I only say unwillingly cuz I don't have time to heavily follow another group. I like all their music though so I'm fighting a losing battle.

mssmercedes

Zb1 - yeah they're performing like their life depends on it. I loved all The dramatics and stage fight choreography. I would have lost it if they had actually performed road movie but I'm glad that they used it as a transitional song it's so sick. They really reminded me of the boys here which is definitely a compliment.

mssmercedes

never listened to bnd but that nice guy performance is putting me on

Zenabu

you not being able to escape jiwoongs mid performance thirst trap is killing meee 💀

Zenabu

Meovv (in my brain I was so sure the group was going to be called move and this was just a cute way of spelling it) - they did pretty good honestly I can tell that they're rookies. They haven't even done that many regular live stages before MAMA so I wouldn't hold it against them I actually think they do have good stage presence but they just need that confidence that will only come from performing a lot. I'm not even saying the confidence here is bad I can feel that YG adjacent energy come in from them but there's some areas where you can feel like they're trying to be cool.

mssmercedes

The title card is usually the name of the actual performance/concept. Since Mama performances are usually more Grand or complex than a normal live stage they put in the effort to name it. Sorry for my million separate comments that I'm about to do but I thought MAMA was really excellent this year and I typically think MMA blows them away. I'll end up typing a wall of text if I keep it in one.

mssmercedes

I really thought zb1 can't outdo their last year MAMA but they proved me really WRONG!!! I love this years performance 🙉🩷
