I'm convinced Blackpink has the most cringeworthy english songs. "Lisa, can you teach me japanese I said hai hai, I'm a rockstar". Who the hell thought that was good💀
😂😂😂 dude. The song itself is actually fire, but the lyrics are what let the song down. Her team needs to do better. And I also think she needed more of the TLC theme.
Lisa is bad at lyricism Its true the Lisa wrote and co-ed most production of both music video sets and the music itself. She even wrote lyrics that fall flat because they can't deliever how YG manage artists.
My problem with her songs is that they lack soul, they are songs that are too self-centered. And yes, it is normal for a rapper or artist to talk about their money or things like that, but the three songs that Lisa has released only talk about herself, that she is great, that she is the baddest in the room, that everyone loves her, that she has a lot of money, that she is a rockstar blah blah.
@@raziel3099 she cant tho. money? okay cool, most of these artists do. being the best? at what? singing, rapping, dancing? absolutely not. being beautiful? yay to putting your selfworth on superficial standards that you needed to get surgery for to fit, amazing empowering message. if she'd at least make semi-personal connections to these lines, if she'd just actually write something resembling a cohesive verse or sentence. but no, she's not even writing her own flex lyrics. how many times can you flex about money and beauty? isnt sad to have nothing else of value to say? oh my. "i see no problem here🥰" im so happy for you, have a great day.
I hate that the comments are talking about her representing Thailand. No the f she doesn’t. She speaks in English in the song in China town in bangkok. She only says she’s proud of being thai when it benefits her and these people are eating it up cus she look pretty.
Even the lyrics being like "Lisa, can you teach me Japanese?" Like why don't you just teach Thai? Your own language that you're supposedly proud of? The music and the video was good but lyrics didn't make any sense to how she was representing Thailand.
It was so heavily autotuned she should just use AI. Don't understand why it's called rockstar. Should have called it popstar. Nothing rock about the song.
@@colacandy5066 Well.. Autotune is a specific piece of software that does something specific. Not every voice modulation is "autotune". The metallic reverb on her voice might not be. I think that is the point. Either way, who cares?
When she chose to perform at crazy horse (which Idc at all) she was defended with the words that "she is a grown woman", but when it comes to stealing content, lack of originality, concept, cultural appropriation etc. "she doesn't have control over it." The hypocrisy of these people including Lisa herself is unbelievable.
Exactfckingly!!!. I don’t understand why these people infantilizing this grown ass woman. They kept defending her as if they are putting their life on the line. I just know that their idol doesn’t give a flying fck about her fans.
I'm so fucking tired of pop musicians constantly calling themselves "rock stars." You can be a pop star, there's no problem with that at all. But why get into a musical genre that you have nothing to do with? Tired as hell of this shit
They shortened the song too much like there was a complete dance break in rain as mentioned by the Thai dancers but this scene is cut off and although i didnt like lalisa that much the rap parts was actually good she should have worked with baek beum beacuse she understands lisa musicality like i expected atleast a typa girl type song
The song is definitely a grower. On the first few listens I thought it was the worst thing i'd ever heard in my life but after listening to it a few more times it's slowly been growing on me and I dare say I actually like it. It's very different and experimental and isn't the typical YG formula we always get which I really appreciate it. The MV was so creative too and the choreography was perfect. I am nervous for her live performances tho, cause there is no way she hitting them notes.
Lisa is not an amazing or professional high tier vocalist but I will expect her to sing this song it’s in her range and during recording in the studio version she was comfortable.
yeah I thought it was okay for a first listen but when I came across this video I decided to listen to it again and it’s growing on me. You just have to keep listening to it and you’ll like it
For the most part I felt the same as you. The 10 second teaser sounded like random noise to me, so my expectations were low. After my first listen I didn't hate it per se, but I wasn't impressed. I'm going to assume the sample that was referred to was used near the end of the song because I felt that was the highlight of it. Everything else just felt forgettable. I feel like this is going to be a song I'll forget about in 2 weeks. Unless there's an amazing live performance that'll blow me away I just see the hype dying down quickly. It'll be interesting to see how much her fans are going to stream the MV, but if she's going the international route does that even matter as much anymore? Is she even going to bother promoting on korean music shows?
It was not bad overall tbh The repetitive pre chorus and chorus just ruined it for me The rest were okay And i can honestly expect a good choreo based from what we've seen on the ending of the music video
What about those meaningless lyrics? The music video was great with its beats, but the lyrics spoiled it all. They just didn't make any sense. If you're into songs with good beats and nonsensical lyrics, feel free to listen. It's your opinion, and who am I to judge? But many of us, including myself-a die-hard fan-had high expectations for this song. Let's set aside the haters. I'm not one of them, but it's surprising how some fans can't handle constructive criticism.

The lyrics were horrible, no connection, oh lisa can you teach me japanes , then jump to another silly words , that was the thing that I did not like, and i hope she could work on that .
You did not understand the song at all. A lot of people always think that she is japaniese girl. And they really ask her to teach her. She criticised that exactly on that part. Thats also why a lot of people celebrate her now. There are always backgrounds on some easy lyrics.
Lisa can u teach me Japanese I say hai hai that is the most catchy lyric of the whole intire song she said hai hai to flex on how many languages she knows how to speak like bruh
Shes criticizing the fact that people are racist with Asians thinking that everyone looks the same (That’s why theres the white hoodies scene and she sings ” Lisa can u teach me japanese“ because someone had said this to her)
Exactly. Her strongest - dare I say only - skill is dancing. She lipsynced and screamed during the whole world tour and people called her best performer. Dang!
Honestly don't attack me but I don't really like Rockstar because the lyrics are kinda cringe, sorry. And it's not really a rock song even though it's called Rockstar.
i genuinely liked the chorus (where it slowed down and the beat was giving tame impala). Thats the main part I liked ... everything else was just lacking. I see the vision but it just needed a more work and the lyrics was..... questionable😭
@@nayjohnson4412 same, the M/V quality was superb but again the lyrics gave me a headache and some parts of the song were not it. But the ending part was amazing
Since she is now out of YG, I thought the song would have been better dans Lalisa or Money. But It was even worse. Like, 10 000 worse in my opinion. The song was blank and wayyyy too much repetitive. I think the music video is pretty basic and mid. I expected way better for Lisa. I think she has the potential to have and good solo carrer and all, but she need better producer frrrrrrrr
No way that you think the MV with such cool transitions and tons of new visual techniques is mid 😮. I’m not the fan of the song but the MV is another thing. It’s not what YG who loves doing those setup studio scenes will ever provide.
No way that you think the MV is mid with those tons of experimental visual techniques and godly smooth transitions…I’m not even a fan of the song though but I admit that the MV team did such a great job. YG who loves doing the studio-shot MV will never and ever provide this kind of creativity
She can't sing, it was hard autotune, I really tried to like the song because I am a Blink, but let's be real - it is just bad and I am already done with that try-hard badass image that is presented. First, Baemon's girl crush attempt, then Badvillain with that awful debut that is also try-hard gangsta sh*t, now Lisa with this mediocrity. I know that we Blinks should protect our girls from hate, but I am really pissed off by that song.
Don't call yourself a blink if you're here talking that way about her. Maybe you're a casual listener, but a fan would never claim that Lisa "can't sing". It's objectively untrue.
@@gremsen1335objectively untrue? Good lord you have lost it. You must be tone deaf to not hear the heavy autotune on her songs. Forget about that, show me a single video where you can hear her sing live and without a loud ass backtrack. Get a life.
@@gremsen1335 if she can't sing she just can't. That doesn't make someone less blink. You people are delusional forcing something and actual truth are different
@@ajlee2168 having the achievements and awards which she have she easily can be considered the top tier artist but her lyrics r always mediocre n it's so painful because the songs could have been so good with better lyrics
Im literally disappointed. Again a meaningless song with no passion like Money and Lalisa. Even the melody of the song is SOTY's and she even didn't give a credit for it. Visuals carried and saved the whole song i guess, the MV was great but the song wasn't. I know everybody has a different music taste but the only ones who actually like it so much and defending from everyone who didn't like, are blinks. Just be fr
I understand that you don’t like it, but the song is not meaningless. Shes criticizing the fact that people are racist with Asians thinking that everyone looks the same (That’s why theres the white hoodies scene and she sings ” Lisa can u teach me japanese“ because someone had said this to her) Also, there is 3 transgender women in the video (pride month was the month of release), she is with her natural skin tone, home town and etc, something that wouldnt be allowed in Korea. So the MV and song are not meaningless.
yall the song is about racism and breaking through western stereotypes of asians... can you teach me japanese is referencing people assuming she is japanese because its common belief that k-pop idols come from east asia. also, its pretty obvious she isnt a ROCK star, but in asian countries rockstar is shown as breaking boundaries and being non-conforming to western stereotypes.
I was a blink and everything but with all Lisa’s solo projects I am starting to feel like she can’t stand out on her own. She’s just boring to look at. She’s not a music artist, she’s a good dancer.
The song was meh Things weren’t adding up Sentences were said Made me confused And honestly when I saw the announcement, I wanted to watch it. Which I did, with an open mind but it was repetitive and just…meh I was also expecting a rock type concept or sample

@@antistrix Yes and.. thats about it. Just that. Plus the song didn't contain any thai at all. If she was so proud to be a thai, should've put atleast 1 thai lyric. Its a "short song" but she could've added it. Thats just how repetitive she is with this one.. atleast its better than her Lalisa one.. idk.. (prolly on par)
Idk what yall were expecting from her, the song sounds exactly like the genre and brand she’s built as an artist. It was obvious that Lisa was gonna go a more modern electronic pop rap route, she is after all a rapper and probably the most well known female rapper to ever come out of the world of kpop. It sounds like Lalisa but with more interesting and less dated production, this was also basically a redebut for her as a soloist not just a comeback.
@@DeeDeeDeeeee this sounds nothing like the hot garbage TEDDY gave her. What they built for her was something completely different from this. I just think a lot of people did not know what to expect, but this? This is just not good. It doesn’t sound like her.
@@lilhonni what would u have her music be? Ballads or rnb? News flash she’s a dancer first and rapper second, her vocals are fine but nothing to carry an actual vocal based song. Ntm her singing is legitimately the one thing she isn’t known for. A “Bad Girls” by MIA style debut suited her fine for her career going forward even if it still is a bit too sanitized for my personal taste.
I agree. This was pretty on brand of Lisa and honestly, I think it was a step up from LALISA and MONEY. It's also a good first song for her outside of YG.
She’s a “rapper”, sure. I think she needs to start writing songs daily in a journal, doesn’t have to be full songs but it can be verses.. I think that’ll help make her more better lyrics wise.
SHE'S A PERFORMER AKA AN ARTIST. LIKE DID YOU SEE HER BEING A BACKUP DAMCER OR BEING IN WOMAN STREET FIGHTER???? No? Yeah that's because she isn't a dancer
Agree with the ending... ending was fire.. MV, fashion style, the musicc man, the choreo.. were soo good! But the lyrics were 50-50 for me.. being the other 50 not making sense. I really wish they could look back at the good critics and work on it. But hey i guess that will be for next year now 🤷🏻♀️

The most cringe i got is from the charts. Song is just bad. It is on billboard top 100 at nr. 70. Billboard 200 doesn't have the song at all. Somehow excluding streams from US got her nr1 spot. 💀💀💀 That's some bs. Also, just copying half of the mv from ither artists just because why not. It's so cringe and embarrasing. This is why YG never was the sole problem. The only good thing about this song is that it's not that long
Correction: there was a part referencing another mv, yes. not close to copying - if were talking reality (laws and copyright). :) also, FYI, lisa is obviously more famous in asia, hence why it was nr1 excluding us. not rocket science.
@@MileneLara.me1 fr rosé have far better songs than lisa jennie and jisso, atleast her songs are meaningful and not some crap like "lisA TeAcH Me JapPEnEsE i Say Hai haI"
it would be different if lisa actually changed her public image too, stopped taking the glutathione injections (allegedly) and doing other skin whitening things, and actually appeared in public with a tan. then it would be lisa just changing her public image and deciding to stop doing skin whitening treatments. definitely not this dark of a tan, because this is still way darker than her natural skin appears in her predebut photos, but having a tan would still be excusable. as it is right now it looks like she just bought a bunch of really dark self tanner and washed it off after the shoot. the mv was good, but the song was so bad. the arrangement could've been good, but the production was terrible. it amplified how nasally and bad lisa's singing is. her rapping is ok but she had some of the worst possible lyrics to rap. the entire song is just flexing which makes her solo career so far 3 songs that are literally only flexing. and while flexing occasionally is fine, flexing for all of your music just gives the impression that you have nothing else to say. and while lalisa and money can be excused by blinks and lilies as lisa still being under yg and not having any creative control, rockstar was her brainchild. she launched her own artist management company for it. she hired everyone, from producers, to songwriters, to directors, to managers. she was completely in control of this release, and she chose to release a nothing song with nothing to say.
Surprisingly, I enjoy the song. I never liked Lalisa and Money. This one is more experimental, I really like the sound. The bridge carries the song, and I really like the speak-singing or rapping in the chorus. Better than her rap verse for sure. But the lyrics are always the same for Lisa, I don't get it. The lyrics about being rich, famous and acting tough, like we get it. I'd prefer for her to try something new in that sense. Would level up her songs. And can't agree more with the tanning issue. People say, she's free from getting whitewashed in the kpop industry and can show her natural skin color. Like what? She's been white for years now. She's white in all her Instagram posts that she chooses to post. And now, for a song like this, she tans hard. Weird. Interpret it however you like.
0:41 Now you're just hating. She bleached her skin? Thailand's UV index is higher than Korea's, she probably started taking better care of her skin in Korea, she was never that dark, and hydroquinone can't be used longterm without side effects (and the whitening isn't permanent in the slightest). A lot of her pictures sre in bright lighting as well.
I'm not Blink, but I wanted to see the video, the first thing that caught my attention was why she named the song rockstar? I'm not a music critic or anything but it doesn't make sense if it's a pop song🫤
this was completely disrespectful and do your research, as you can see this creator is not bright enough to do their research about what this mv/teaser photos are about, to put it in short its Asian empowerment if you do this research the photos and mv will all come together and make sense
she sold her soul cause thats why her songs are dead asf. just like every artist that want to make it big and braknwash a buncha people into thinking theyre such big rockstars.
@@WongkaheiChuucolate I myself was surprised after listening to both of their songs. Both song of jimin and lisa can top the charts but still those songs aren't even average song.
The lyrics are terrible regardless if she do sing and rap so good. Or she's a bad storyteller or are her songwriters bad in writing... 😂😂😂 You can come to fight me I'm ready
Blinks truly do have the lowest standards with music. Lisa is PEAK self-insert material [like the other 3] that's the only reason she has such rabid fans.
Actually y'all aren't that smart enough to know the actual meaning of the song.. Those lyrics which y'all are saying cringe like "teach Japanese" Etc etc.. Lisa was often mistaken as a Japanese singer also called as "liSa" Or "orisa" To the Western audience at first.. Then y'all Westerners thinks all the Asian looks the same so she purposely shows a scene where all the asian faces are together and Lisa is in the middle of them with the hoodie on.. And lastly no race owns a significant style to themselves legally.. Even indian ppl raps way before it was discovered to the Westerners and they're tanned too.. Being a normal citizen of this generation, I'd definitely wear braids or a metallic outfit.. Not because I wanna fit into a certain taste of ppl.. Because I feel like that's what I wanna wear. And for Lisa's part.. Even she wears or styles herself in a certain way like how rappers do.. What's wrong with it? You want her to wear a saree while dancing and rapping? Btw I don't usually like bp songs at their first listen.. But it was quite different from her previous releases.. So I kinda liked it
Ok she wasn't taking our class as a song it was terrible. She's all up on marketing anyways am nowhere close to any kpop songs yet I got recommend of her Song again and again pretty annoying
yall the song is about racism and breaking through western stereotypes of asians... can you teach me japanese is referencing people assuming she is japanese because its common belief that k-pop idols come from east asia. also, its pretty obvious she isnt a ROCK star, but in asian countries rockstar is shown as breaking boundaries and being non-conforming to western stereotypes.
I’m actually wondering what songs people are envisioning LISA to create when saying that they did not like this song. Lisas’ first solo LALISA was not my taste and I know how hyped her solo release was. Rockstar definitely hit a spot that was missing from LALISA. I’m not sure when she will be releasing an album however, I think a mini album would have been a good addition, with the audiences attention scattered through multiple songs rather than knit-picking at ROCKSTAR. I like the tame impala sample and those scenes of the song actually reminded me of Kai’s Mmmh song. Wish it could have been a bit longer. All in all, I am content. Other fans may not be but that’s the beauty of whatever Lisa decides to put out next.
The song was short and repeatitive, and look I am not hating on Lisa, she is insanely good at dancing and rapping but this song was just not it. "But she got 80 million so soon!" Yes and that is because of her name itself. Just like Kylie Jenner, who is popular but she barely contributes to anything except for showing up to events like Met Gala.
I haven’t listened to the song but felt it would be something similar to what we’ve heard before. I feel she needs to do something more as a artist and focus less on the visuals. Also she has to remember she isn’t ONLY a dancer but a rapper. I hope she improves on her craft.
I guess i have to keep an example the reason why lisa in the photo look black (her skin ) . Soo my sister has her miniprom she have white skin to white actually and the girl who did her makeup telled her she want to take a picture of her to post on instagram like she does with everyone ! So she did them when she got home , we checked how she looks in picture her face and body looked so black idk what she did to the photo but she looked exacly like lisa skin . Then that girl who did my sister the photo said that she edited a little (idk how to say it sorry for that ) . So i think the same thing happend to lisa and idk even if her skin is black i would love to say to her "keep always your skin like this is it's your real skin and don't give a f** for haters " .
Agree - she is all fake and popular only because of tones of money invested in her promotion and music production. There are so many top-notch people hired to produce her songs for the insane money, yet the result is still mediocre.
To be honest,as a casual listener the lyrics we're nonsense, the music we're hard to grasp in, and the mv was cool but boring and not much of choreo. It's just overrated in my opinion.
honestly Lisa is my favorite member in BLACKPINK but honestly it sucks I don't like it at all I tried listening to it multiple times because usually that helps me like songs I don't like it at all but I do like the music video it's pretty pleasing to look at sometimes😊
Gurl not everybody is talented . Can you write songs , no , can you write a mindblowing , mesmerising , meaningful no , extra meaningful song which you expected from lisa
@@krishnabharti5565 obviously i cant smartass thats why im not an idol, if i could then i would pursue this career. Atleast ik where my capabilities lie and dont rely on blind obsessive fans to carry my career
The disrespect 💀tell your favs to release music then and instead of posing in the studio for ages and still doing brand gigs left and right and let's see the quality
I appreciated the music video's direction, but the song itself feels odd, especially transitioning from the buildup to the Tame Impala sample it feels mashed together and lacks clarity. Lyrically, it also falls short, which is disappointing considering YG held her back for so long; one would expect more from her.
@@xuoqq7930are you not gonna talk about her sl*t shaming Lisa yeah that’s fine lmao I understand if you don’t like the song but objectively it’s really not bad it’s quite good she experimented and it was different from the typical yg formula.
If I give my opinion Lalisa was so cringe and lyrics were so repeated Money was the most iconic lisa thing and lisa's song; vibe,rap,vocals all were so amazing Rockstar was a mid;that jpn part was so cringe; make you rock,and rock star was also so repeated but her rap and style was good to me
Please guys stop with the blackfishing, it's really funny to see that the people who said "oh it's black fishing" are literally not the people concerned (I'm black and I don't find it as black fishing) so please stop being boring on this
Lisa is a glorified dancer, there, I said it, she is such a boring artist to follow, I tune in to see how mediocre her songs get only to be fascinated by the delusion of her fans, if there was ever a testament that the majority doesn't rule... I am tired of mediocrity prevailing because subpar artists take up so much space in the industry with their intense relentless marketing, leaving genuine talented artists to struggle... this is a clown world we live in, it's a never ending cycle of people stanning terrible famous artists to feel part of something big, almost cult like, and then when it's over they have nothing to show for it, their legacy has always been that they are a brand that is constantly shoved in our faces, no artistic value, no growth, no boundaries pushed, just a cycle of popular culture doom, nothing genuine, it's gotta stop!!
“ almost cult like” 🎯🎯🎯🎯🎯 EXACTLY!! it’s so crazzzy to me that the moment you say that you don’t agree or like something about their idol, they will attack u, crucify u. as if criticizing her is the most stupidest thing you’ve ever done in your life. I don’t hate her it’s just that i do not like her songs. I commented that her lyrics are cringy and one of her fan got mad at me🙄
then people should stop giving these videos out that you dont even have to look for. i typed in kpop and boom this video was one of the first on the list. im so tired of this world and how it seems to be that everything require our reactions now we have to react to other peoples reactions and other peoples reactions use the same mundane robotic dead voice that other opinion videos use.
She was also credited as a writer which makes sense, because the lyrics were not making much sense “Yes, yes, I can spend it Yes, yes, no pretendin' Tight dress, LV sent it Oh shit, Lisa reppin'” Girl what?
@@BrunaOliveira-t2kshe clearly doesn’t have good taste when it comes to her style of music. I’m honestly convinced she doesn’t even know who she wants to be outside of blackpink. I’m tired of the flexing, bragging, rich, ‘look at me’ lifestyle type songs from her. I would just prefer something a little more personal, that really shows her true character. From an outside perspective She’s a bubbly, funny, friendly, and caring person. I just wasn’t expecting something so bland that lacks depth, or show her personality. Nonetheless I blame YG and TEDDY for suppressing her for so many years.
the way people are defending the lyrics like "oh people always think asians are only Japanese so she was mocking that stereotype" why the fuck would she add a single like like "lisa can you teach me Japanese i said hai hai" in a song anout how rich and famous she is, not to mention this is the kind of lyrics me and my friwnds wrote when we were 9
Its just different speculations lol... Most people spent their time getting mad at the reference she used for another rappers mv regarding this topic as well, so wouldn't be surprised if it was intended to be that.
that is not having a low bar, that is having no bar. And not only blinks, any die-hard fans of these musicians. They can fart for 2 minutes and put it out as a single. These kids will love it.
@@multistan9513 same reply all the time from every person lmao. It seems you know the song is awful as well. You got nothing else other than "preference" kekw.
The mv was insane though...the angles and the effects were crazy and really good...I just need more time for the song Update: honestly the more you listen to it the better it gets ...its pretty good , can't wait for the album ☺️
I just don't understand how she markets herself as a western artist but released a kpop-based song. she will not be taken seriously and if she doesn't go back to do idol stuff and promotions, she will be forgotten in korea too.
People need to learn how to take criticism. You don't need to force yourself and others to like everything your faves have done. That's so biased and obsessive.( Some certain people got mad for no reason lol)
and u dont need to force other people who genuinely love what others are relaying and presenting. I’m not personally a fan of lisa but I can say that there are really people who loved the song that’s why they’re enjoying it. Sometimes it’s not only the tolerance and like that can be forced, but even hate
