Im clearly being hyperbolic calling it Kids Bop, but JYP pitched the song up way too much, as they do with all Twice songs, to make them sound younger/cuter (despite this being their "more mature" era) and it takes away from the song and no one has the grit in their voice to really make the verses pop. I also find Twice's chorus more grating and repetitive. Plus Im already not a fan of throwing in token rap sections to give the bad vocalists something to do in Kpop and the song is better without it.

You're hard to please, Rudd. You say you don't like the high pitching, but then you say you don't really like the newer stuff. I mean to be fair maybe it's just the style direction that you don't like... but still, you have a very picky taste. You're such a veteran fan but sometimes your expectations are too high or don't even make sense. I shouldn't say that... you always make sense, you always have a valid point, but it's just too critical. Why even compare them this critically in the first place? It's not just supposed to be the exact same song, they're supposed to sing it differently.

Actually, I like the Twice chorus over the demo.

Twice's vocals is a mix of things...
They were crafted to do the cutesy image. Momo really shouldn't be sounding like she's killing herself via gas poisoning.
And people keep eating it up. I think generally in Asia, that's the literal taste in female girl groups.

Jihyo has a very awkward high note in that song.

Mmm, I like Twice's chorus more, too. Just cuz it's different, I like new and different. Zara's is a demo of a good song but Twice didn't make it bad, they just made it theirs. You're right, it's just who they are, and the direction they're going with. And yeah they're Twice so they can do without any one or all of our opinions anyways.

I think because the note is too short for her. Jihyo has very long high notes. Here she's just getting warmed up and all of a sudden the note is over lol. The song is just a different style than what they were doing until more recently. And it's weird because it's not supposed to be sung like they do... but that actually just makes me like it more.
