Remember, this isn’t a ranking, competition, official analysis etc. It is just like a fancam that zooms in on who looks cool and explains why. I give general observations but it doesn't prove anything about their overall skill. This is for this dance and this video alone. Please use it to raise members up, not bring any down.
I like this dance. It's very fun and great for the song. It’s a good one to watch everyone add their own spin on because it isn’t too fast or hard. Some parts of this dance look kind of awkward tbh I think their choreographer could’ve worked on making some moves look better overall. In some frames, everyone looks a bit silly lol.
For the sake of it, here is the “distribution” of how much time approx spent focused on each person.
Seulgi = 60s
Wendy = 56s
Irene = 50s
Yeri = 30s
Joy = 13s
Seulgi
Really a very clean dancer who knows how to make moves look good. Doesn’t overdance but still shows her advanced skills. She does little combos with ease instead of thinking of each move like many idols can sometimes do. Really there is nothing notably wrong in her dancing lol just sometimes other people made choices that looked better by going that extra step or were more on time.
Wendy
The perfect energy for this dance. It’s very bouncy and a lot of moves don’t look great if you don’t commit all the way. Wendy always commits. It’s not simply her energy that puts her here though, she really is a great dancer. She moves in a very fluid and smooth way, she has good musicality, she handles little mistakes well, etc. Noticeably, her shoulder and chest moves are well defined and clean. She adds to her moves and also catches the little choreo details that others sometimes skip. However, sometimes she overdances these and gets off beat or kind of does the wrong thing with it. I am very surprised she surpassed Irene here but I guess Umpah Umpah just suits her well. I even looked back to see if I missed anything big but I was still satisfied with my choices so.
Irene
Great sense of poise, and her whole essence is sassy but soft. She has a graceful style and exaggerates her body shape very well. She’s good at really sharpening her movements. Irene really emphasizes her hip moves but I think it looks groovy! She also has notably good arm moves right down to her wrists and rarely does awkward moves with them. She goes a step further than Seulgi usually, often adding a nice head swoop, a sharper chest pop, a little shoulder angle etc. However, she rushes a few moves or doesn’t complete everything so those add ons don’t always get finished. Her footwork is also not as clean as her members in many moves.
Yeri
Her head movements are clear and clean. She adds a good amount of sass to her moves, often embodying the fresh feel of the song very well. Her timing is rarely off. I think she just doesn’t have that same fluidity in her body for the body rolls, it doesn’t looks quite as natural to her. She also doesn’t always stand in a correct way or utilize the entire body when executing a move, likely just focusing on the main body part used in the move. That is fine as she is doing the choreo like it is taught but it is why she lost some moves even when she was close to best. Also I think she looked like she was getting tired near the end lol.
Joy
My bias in RV is Joy but she is definitely a bit awkward in this practice. She does the moves correctly so maybe the biggest issue is that she doesn’t seem to be fully committing to any move or, if she does, she drops it a little too quickly. That is to say, she will not pop her hip all the way, nod as sharply, or kind of relaxes her arms which makes us lose her a bit. I would suspect it is due to overthinking the choreo a bit. It’s like she is not comfortable with it at this point and just thinking move to move instead of really enjoying her time doing it. We all have our off days so it really could’ve just been how she felt and, even so, she looked great overall. Her strengths seem to be in her chest moves and wrist directed arm movements. She has good extended and poised moments.
What were your fave moves? Who do you think did them best? Let me know!
