Honestly speaking as a dancer... Lisa makes it look easy. I know alot of people are covering this dance, but it never looks as light and easy compared to how Lisa dances it. Me myself thought this was easy but it's hard trying to make the choreography look as chill as hers. That's why i appreciate her so much.
She just doesn't show it on stage but behind the scenes, man the struggle is real (as shown in her LILI FILM dance practice ep). She is such a professional and as she said in her interview with Woody she has to pretend that she is not out of breath.
Jeff Avenue said that the hardest level a dancer could ever learn is to make a choreography look easy. And Lisa has achieved that. That's what makes THE BEST dancer in Kpop. Her lilifilm 3 was one of the hardest and notable dances she has ever done. I have seen SO MANY dancers and professional dancers cover it, but not a single one could objectively and technically come close to her level. Even Cheshir ha, the choreographer of the dance, could not execute it so fluidly and lightly like how Lisa did (because she's more on the hard choreo- but she's still a very good dancer ngl). Whatever you give Lisa, whether boyish, sexy, or cute dance, she knows exactly how to slay it without overdoing or being lacking. She's the only one in Kpop who can blend in with the boys, blend in with the girls, and blend in with professional choreographers. Tamzin Choi, who choreographed Lisa's dance cover of compass, admitted that he felt like Lisa was teaching him the choreo, instead of him teaching Lisa the dance. A number of professional dancers have named Lisa as the best dancer in Kpop. If there is any true ace in Kpop, it is definitely Lisa. She has been an ace trainee for consecutive 5 years in YG. Straight A's in rapping, singing, and dancing every month. IN YG. And YG is in fact, the hardest company to ever pass in. She never runs out of charisma. NEVER. her energy level is ALWAYS consistent every single time. her facial expressions skills ARE SO SATISFYING, She knows how to own the stage and work with the camera while dancing so perfectly. If there's anything, people who hate on Lisa are clearly missing out a once-in-a-generation gem.
sometimes fans don't respect Lisa's skills because she's Lisa (like ppl has a mindset that’s she has to be beyond PERFECT in everything to match her popularity). This usually happens to many artists with huge popularity too.. they forget all the artist efforts and just focus on judging their performance. This fits perfectly with the lyrics of BP's song "Everyone sees what they want to see, it's easier to judge than try to believe". Honestly being a fan of Lisa since her trainee era, she was never slick once single times. She always pushes her limits even when she’s not at her best condition (sick, tired, etc).
LOUDER!!!!!!!!!!!! There is too much entitlement from these fan/critics and can't appreciate what was given. And you're right, there is more work going on behind the scene than what we can see (finish output) on the screen.
I like Lisa's diversity in all aspects, and admire her for her strength, bravery, persistence, and perfection, she deserves to be loved by everyone, a positive energy girl
Those “arm chair” experts should upload their dance cover of Money and let us be the “judge”. Anyone can learn the choreo, it’s how well you execute ( facial express, attitude) that choreo is the key. I tried Lisa “ money” walk, my arms and shoulders look as if it’s having a seizure by itself
Yeah and salute to her dance crew. The whole performance was perfect. I dont know what those people wants her to do. Cartwheel? Flip herself in the air? Lisa is perfecttttt and no one does it like her. She's 🔥🔥🔥
whats the point of having the most difficult choreography if the artist cant perform it from start to finish, even beyonce doesnt dance to her songs from start to finish. so i commend lisa and all other performers who can perform their whole choreography while singing. you easily judge someone and yet you are not even close to atleast lisa's greatness.
Lisa's is not tired when dancing. 😍😂 She said pretending not to be tired while dancing is the key to have a great performance. She said this on woody's interview. ❤🔥👑
Preach! Love your analysis. People tend to forget or ignore that Lisa has to sing/rap and dance at the same time while performing with full expression and emotion. If they are comparing the difficulty of Money dance to other difficult kpop dance from other groups or soloists, i think they have to admit that none of the latter are successfully done while singing *live*.
yeah, I like your comment. I have always thought about the fact that when you listen to a group, like a KPop group, it's a lot easier to only have to sing a part of the song and dance to it, as opposed to being a solo artist that dances and sings the entire song by themselves. For example, my favorite kpop group is Twice. And it's not lost on me that with 9 members of that group, that means they can divide each song into 9 parts and each member can get away with just singing 1/9th of each song and that is a huge bonus, cuz that saves their stamina for dancing.
Also, it's funny cuz I used to sing karaoke and one of my favorite songs to sing was a song by Eminem. And the rap is so long and so constant (almost no breaks in the song to take a breath), I was wondering, "How does Eminem rap this entire song in a live performance???" Then I got to see Eminem perform and what did he do? He had a back-up rapper singing half the song. They literally divvied up the song in half and they alternated verses.
You brought up a very important part THE DANCE PERFORMANCE video cut out a lot of the choreo and took away a lot of elements. Probably the biggest reason why people thought this was easy. Another thing Lisa never stops dancing. Compared with other kpop females, who is doing this? She keeps up with the boys.
Thank God someone said it. I keep reading comments about why is the dance so lame and not hard or not difficult as Lisa can do more of this. I’m a dancer myself and this choreography is hard as hell. While some dancers count on “1 and 2 and 3s” Lisa keeps on the beat. Every beat 😊 Let’s appreciate it everyone. Especially the dancers with Lisa, they made the dance really well. Although Lisa can outshine them but she choose to blend well with the dancers. 🧘🏽♀️
a lot of hard or fast-paced choreos can look super easy when a really good dancer performs them, not to mention attention to facials, small details, singing, and transitions. i have a massive amount of respect for Lisa and how well she pulls of any choreography she performs
Louder!!I couldn't agree more! Finally, someone gave the best Money dance practice reaction. Thank you for dissecting everything and letting people know that this choreo isn't so easy but it's just Lisa making it so seamless, smooth and easy for everyone.
For one hi Elliot. I ve been following rather a Lisa bias fan. And every reaction i ve had watched i would say you re one of the best who reacts to lisa s every performances. Not only lisa s beauty but every details of her moves you ve got sense and knowledge of it by your reactions or comments. Fyi this is my very first comment i ve had made for how many years being a blackpink follower specifically lisa s performances. Thanks Elliot.
I am not a dancer but always understood how difficult her choreo always is. Of course the Lilly films had more strenous choreo, she wasn't singing, it was a focus on dance. It is beyond amazing the enduramce necessary to be a kpop artist, the breath control, practice, endurance, muscle memory, stage presence, confidence, ability to act and portray emotion in their voice and face and ability to remember choreo, music and any corrections to blocking due to stage measurements or change in numbers of dancers or bamd mates. My son does hip hop dancing and did a solo at 6 yrs old he freestyled to and he had to check out the stage and decide where to start and finish and where to look when performing. It is only because she is such an amazing performer that people think this choreo is easy when it is merely cleverly disguised to look easy.
I think also the mistake people get when comparing it to the lili films is that the lili films are very short except The Movie. But The Movie wasn’t meant to be sung by her live and was shot separately
I'm glad you brought up emotion.....that drives Lisa from within.....that is a primary reason why she is so special and catches everyone's attention! You are NOT being aggressive at all, not at all, I love this video, thanks for making it !!
Thank you! This analysis was well thought out and articulated beautifully. I am not a dancer but I have been a choreo junkie for decades and it low key upsets me when people don't give credit where it due.
Lisa just make her dances look so easy, that's why people thought it's not difficult, yes people can dance to it but it's how well you execute every move of it, that's how difficult it is.
Thank you for your analysis reaction video. I still think this is one of the coolest performance choreography i have seen even when the Dance Performance drop, only this time i can see clearly the whole choreo. I love it.
The nerve and audacity of some people I swear😶 I just want those people to do that freaking boss ass queen walk that lisa does during the dundun part ( last part ) cause I can guarantee 100% that they gon look like they’re having a seizure. The charisma, swag, aura and energy that Lisa exudes is unmatched and no matter how much they try to perfect and master they can never compare to her. That’s why we need pros like Elliot to educate this damn people. Thank you Elliot for the video 😌 great content as always! Had a blast !!!
As someone who is in medical school, I can tell you guys that slow muscle control is more difficult than releasing fast muscle control especially when you have to make it look that pretty. I think this dance is like fast then slow then it suddenly uses power.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR MAKING THIS VIDEO🙏🏼😔. It’s so upsetting hearing her getting trashed. We all know it’s not so much the “critics”, but rather people who ENVY HER. People who FEEL THREATENED, of her immense talent & popularity. They have to resort to these pathetic, underhanded slaps. Im grateful that as an ACTUAL PROFESSIONAL. You can break down the hard work that goes into this performance. 🙏🏼😌👏🏼👏🏼🖤💖💛💜
Lisa is just sooo captivating. She can just walk 2 steps forward and my brain will still call it art. That being said, this Money choreo is excellent - those critizing this are simply (and unknowingly)just requesting for a new Lili Dance 🤷♀️
If you finish watching this clip you will love her even more, a little girl who has been chasing her dreams since the age of 14. Last year, from Thailand to South Korea, she devoted her whole life to becoming a good idol and inspiring the whole world.
Just because she isnt struggling in the finished product doesnt mean it didnt cost her hundreds of hours of struggle. It goes to show she’s professional and damn good at what she does.
Thanks a lot for the break down and analysis. Lisa said since the very beginning of her solo era, the choreography of Money is on the same level as Lalisa. Even the others said, Money is tougher, but not in her opinion. I enjoyed the part of "My money moves. Money I choose" pretty much. Lisa moved her hands to control the dancers around her as if they were her Money. Her attitude of powerful controller is at the peak. And that makes her the great performer, not just dancer.
If she wasn't such a talented dancer this so called "easy" choreography would lool like a half-assed sloppy pile of crap. IT DOESN'T THOUGH, DOES IT?! Because she is incredibly clean and very thorough with every single nuance of the dance. She is amazing.
You are the first that made and push out so many details of her choreography and I love how you explain all body movement and breathing and singing sections. 🥰 thank you very much for this awesome reaction to her MONEY choreography.
non lisa related comment but if you don't know lee jung (one of the choreographers of money & lalisa) is participating in a show called "street woman fighter" where women dance crews are competing to see who's the 'best'. despite it not being kpop i would really like to hear your opinions on some of the battles and choreography as a dancer. the show is so interesting and fun to watch :D btw love your analysis's so much!!
Best reaction video ever.. The perfect way how you broke down the dance movements of Lisa proving this choreography is not easy she worked really hard on it.. 🖤
This is why when it comes to reaction videos, I prefer to watch reaction videos from legit dancers, singers and performers. They just don’t react just for the sake of reacting, they appreciate and understand the process and they see and tend to focus on the whole picture. So thank you for doing this.😊
I don’t understand how people can hate on Lisa like she is literally a gem she is an incredible dancer an insane rapper and her vocals is like an Angel is singing to us she is friendly she brings like a bright light to us like she is incredible
Thank you very much for your supberb analysis directed to a dance-uninformed audience (like me), of the performance by Lisa and all the dancers. thank you for pointing out the fact that Lisa has to dance AND sing AND display facial expressions put "soul" to this overall piece of performing art here. It's rare that I see this level of detailed breakdown of dancing performance and choreography. Will keep coming back to this channel.
THANK YOU!!! Just because she makes it look easy, doesn’t mean it’s easy! People are ridiculous! It’s like they wanted her to spin on her head and do windmills while singing smh. The “Lalisa” dance practice was revealing too! She’s amazing ❤️🔥 BLΛƆKPIИK in your area 👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻👸🏻🖤💗
Great analysis of this video, I always appreciate how you break everything down. I believe for the most part the people with negative comments about how the choreography isn’t hard, or has something to say about Lisa’s dancing, have no clue as to what they’re talking about and it shows. For the most part they are uneducated about dance or they are people that just love to hate Lisa because they are just toxic. I really appreciate when a dancer/choreographer gives their feedback because it takes someone who can understand how the moves are executed to grasp the true difficulty.
you're really the best when it comes to choreography analysis!! just wanna say we all simp over lisa🙂 i was planning on learning this choreo for my PE requirement and now i'm scared 😳
When you said about the neck thing, I felt that! Because as a classically trained dancer in India, it's one of the first things we are taught to do and it is really hard.... And she has a lot of those kinds of nuances that make it look like a chill and easy choreo when, if you try, you see how difficult it can be!! To do it even with an inch of the attitude she carries throughout the performance!!
Thank you for the in depth explanation, it was about time someone tell those critics to shut up. I am sure those who criticized this dance are not even dancers, or who can not even dance! I am just in awe how much these people criticized all the time about how easy the choreography, they are just simply ignorant! Kudos to Lisa, as always, to the choreographers and of course to the dancers who played a very important part in her videos.
Yes, as you mention at about 2:00, I think this dance practice video is so much better than the performance video. There's maybe like 10 times in the dance performance video where Lisa's basically only making a face to the camera. So I think that's a big part of some people's criticisms after watching that first video. Personally, after that first performance video, I was only disappointed at the very end, during the "don don don" part. I felt that was the song's little mini dance break so to me it should have gone a little harder than the rest of the choreo. But again, it does look much better here with less cuts and less zoom-ins on her face only. And you're totally right when you say the stamina is impressive because while I selfishly want their ending dance break to go extra hard, Lisa and the dancers should definitely be more tired at this point.
@@MelodyFromTheHeart There are cuts, very very cleverly hidden, but you see them If you focus on the backup dancers rather than on Lisa. Just to be clear, I'm not saying this to take anything away from Lisa and the other dancers - its a phenomenal performance, and I'm assuming they've done it all in one go for the live performance, where's she's also singing and rapping at the same time, so everything said in this video applies 100%.
the performance video wasn’t mean to just showcase the choreo… Why would u compare a performance video to a dance practice video when they have different purposes? I think the problem here is that people keep boxing Lisa into the “dancer” role. She isn’t JUST a dancer. Yes, she could’ve gone harder. She could’ve also easily just hired her LiLiFilM dance team and Chesir Ha to design choreo. But she didn’t, they didn’t. Lisa is the Creative Director of this solo project so she has the authority. I doubt YG would also be against the idea because they’re totally aware of how much Lilifilm generates. So ya’ll better chill out with your expectations with Lisa. Let her do what she wants.
You made many clear points. Not aggressive at all. It's good to have these moves explained. They are quite obviously really hard to do. But of course it isn't even the difficulty, it's the appearance of the whole thing, the visual composition, like parts of a painting. What may seem like a little dab of colour may seem like nothing, or just an accident, but move it slightly to the left or leave it out, the whole thing changes - the mood, the atmosphere, the meaning. And you know better than I do, as you explained about the neck roll, there is more than one thing going on. If the hand is moving, the other hand has to be doing something, the foot, the chest, where is the other foot, so every part is involved, isn't it? No, this is top-level dancing. And of course, because it's for Lisa, all the dancers bring their A-game. She has advanced the perception of dance in K-pop a lot, giving it the serious attention it deserves. What I actually enjoy a lot with this performance, is the feeling Lisa carries that she's not just the star turn with some back-up dancers to make her look good, she is a dancer among other dancers, working as hard as them, as one of them, not just the boss. Even though, we have to admit, as she sings in Lalisa, she is clearly, "The loudest in the room!"
FINALLY! Somebody actually says it! Elliot says it all, like for real! As a performer myself, I find it hard to sing and dance at the same time. You have to consider your tone, Your musicality, Your emotions, The choreography, and most specially , Your impact to the audiences. Years and Years of experience is required for you to master all this, so how come this is EASY? Lisa is the MAIN DANCER and the LEAD RAPPER of the group and that is already a point to look at! She's Dancing, She's Rapping, and She's singing All the same time! so KUDOS TO YOU ELLIOT! Thank you for this VERY Detailed Explanation💛💯
I JUST HAVE TO TELL THE WHOLE WORLD THIS when i watched it on 0.5 the waacking at the end, shE DID IT ON BEAT. SHE WAACKED ON BEATS THAT IF U PUT IT IN NORMAL SPEED U CAN'T EVEN COMPREHEND THE BEATS goodbye miss lalisa never fails to amaze me
K-POP DOMINATED THE WORLD AND LISA DOMINATED THE UNIVERSE. YOU MUST RESPECT OUR SUPREME QUEEN. FANS CLUBS ALL OVER THE WORLD IN ACTION BECAUSE THERE IS NO MORE XENOPHOBIA. WE ARE STRONG AND WE FIGHT TO SHOW THAT TALENT DOES NOT CHOOSE NATIONALITY.😍. LISA+MONEY SURPRISE EVERYONE AND BEAT A NEW RECORD OF VIEWS, EVEN HAVING THE PRODUCTION AND SUPPORT THAT IT DESERVED, SHE GAVE THE FANS A PREVIEW OF HER POWER THAT EXPLODED AND AIU IN THE GRACE OF THE WORLD. WE JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND WHY YG HAS NO LONGER PROVIDED A MV WITH A PRODUCTION WORTH YOUR TALENT, SINCE YOU ARE A RARE DIAMOND. LISA YOU ARE MY IDOL AND FROM BRAZIL, CONTINUE YOUR EXCELLENT WORK WITH ALL YOUR HUMILITY THAT'S HOW YOUR FANS LOVE YOU. YOUR CHARISM IS NATURAL AND SPONTANEOUS. I LOVE YOU AND KISSES FROM BRAZIL👏👏👏👏👏💕💋💋💋💋💋THANK YOU FOR YOUR EXCITING REACTION TO THE QUEEN.💕💕💕😍😍😍
You are a great teacher, i don't think people look for how when or where, is more like beat, performance, and feelings for the performer, unless you are a critic, or reactor, or hater, see now they look for fails, or excellence, but haters well they will talk with their cold stone heart, only hate is in there heart.
Thank you for this video! Super cool to be able to really see inside the choreography and understand the whys+how's. I'm also A super-fangirl for Lisa😅 so appreciate you setting the record straight for any who doubt her amazingness🙏💪❤️
these so called "critics" expects liza to do acrobatics while rapping... ahaha so funny... these people i bet doesn't even know how to swaydance properly
Sorry for just spotting your video. I'm really impressed with your explanation. You don't have to be sorry for pausing this dance practing. I do believe it really suits the rhythm of your explanation.👏👏👏
It's true that Lisa finds all these choreos easy 😭 like ma'am it's not easy for others..it's just for you 🥴 She's a born performer. I know she works her ass off but I think she is born to do this. She's a genius
People don't have an idea how hard is to dance, sing and having the right attitude for the song and choreography, facial expression everything at the same time with showing is hard to keep breathing! I used to do it when i studied dance and musical and is very hard. I respect Lisa so much, she's a brilliant dancer and a true artist. She has it on her soul.
she prepared her body to perform but she only got 3 stages 🥲 Twitter critics moved to Tiktok as well so much hate and for what? what do ppl gain from hate is just too sad. Also, the expectation ppl have cause she's "popular" is ridiculous and overwhelming if I was her, to be honest. The thing about Lisa is she just wants to have fun and be confident. The whole choreo was so pleasing to watch and can't wait for the collab she's having with Ozuna, Megan, and Dj snake.
First of all thank you Elliot for these amazing analysis and great observasion as always too. But this time i gotta say few things that may triggering some kiddos Look, for those of people who selfishly think that the choreography for MONEY wasn't it, aside from the jealousy over Lisa at any aspect, aside from a brutal expectation over nothing, i think nowadays it's kinda obvious that the main problem was always about someone that randomly turning themselves into being a typical sudden-delusional-dance-expert, sheesh... I'd say most of them basically like a casual Kpop listenersin real life which probably can't really dance their ass off like what LISA did or like the other dancers in this MONEY dance practice video. To make it more hillarious, based of their rant whenever they trying to compare the standard in LILIFILM the series against the 2 final outcomes for both LALISA and MONEY i dare to say some of them probably didn't really have any basic experiences for creating nor fittin the song with a package of full-lenght raw choreography and the execution of the final staging itself. Another thing that made me cringe is those people maybe not even a fan of any Kpop artist while at the same time they still tend to pretend to be so suddenly care about a certain artist just because they wanna throw a shade for the selfishness of their own satisfaction, seriously what a fuckin trashers, like those people just have too much time for acting so superior above everything that doesn't suit their personal taste, smh for real. What's more funny to me is those people keep casually think that they knew what's better about choreography while they didn't even realize that they also oftenly have such a misunderstanding between the smoothness of a dance choreography as being an easy movement. I mean if someone really have a good and deep observation about their own fav artist, they should already knew that the smoothness and how to choose the whole detailed-movement was the result of the harmonization between well-thought process from the extreme tight schedule for every level in song's interpretation, dancing training, staging, camera-shooting, etc. Sure, some of yall may disagree with my POV but then again go ahead and feel free to prove me wrong if it's that's really not the case at any means...
This was the most thorough and truthful comment that I’ve read about these fake dance experts. Appreciate this and your time for writing this! Much love ❤️
I think that was a bit aggressive tbh. Lisa is my bias in blackpink but I did expect more, from the song and dance, not in a technical aspect as such tho. she is amazingly talented but jeez imagine what she could have achieved. Less cringey lyrics, the blaccent ugh no.
@@angels.6922 a bit aggresive? pfft... i mean did u even understand my whole comment completely? or did you even read the whole thing tho?... or maybe i just hit the nerve of your selfish-ness huhh 😂 if that's the case no wonder why you made those kind of repply and also before you shamelessly claimed mine as an aggresive talk please look on how you write your own repply first... menn... what a day to meet some random, immature and an edgy casual Kpop audience like you 😂
@@L.U.C.A.006 umm.. what. I’ve been into kpop for nearly six years, blackpink were one of my first groups. I have high expectations because of how talented they are! Maybe if you got you head out your ass you would see that is my OPINION. Not an attack on all the hard work behind the scenes, which goes into every comeback by the way. Touch some grass mate
At this point it is so obvious they're just hating solely because it's Lisa. Haters gonna hate while Lisa is striving and living her best life (as she should!)
Appreciate the explanations. Didn’t know all this until you explained. Lots to consider when dancing. Love your analyzing of these dance moves. She makes it look so easy tho! It takes skills like you say. I appreciate her hard work more than before now. You’re right singing, dancing, face expression all at the same time. That’s crazy hard yo!!! Her stage presence is amazing.
