#israels music video seems like a dance moms performance

[adlibitur]

time to watch all the eurovision songs

[heoneyology]

for @yooyonqha! a (kind of) little get to know monsta x post! ❤️

monsta x is a 7 member group who debuted with trespass on may 24th, 2015! they were formed through starship entertainment’s survival program no mercy (I didn’t watch it bc I wrote off survival shows after yg’s win but I hear it was intense and really harsh). their music style now is very versatile but they started off with a lean toward hip-hop.

their name monsta x comes from mon (“my” in french) and “my star” and combined means “monsters conquering the kpop scene.” the x in their name symbolizes an unknown existence. their fandom name is monbebe which literally is the french mon + bebe = “my baby.”

idk if this is going to help you learn them at all but I hope it does, either way it was fun to write c:

shownu

leader, main dancer, and lead vocalist

his animal representative is a bear 🐻

you can recognize him by: his eye smile and... muscles... he has broad shoulders and is one of the tallest members

one of his nicknames is “shownubear” that monbebe often call him

count on the stylists to almost always have him basically half naked, or during big events like mama make him take his shirt off

has the husky voice!!

actual husband material, considered the “dad” of the group

he’s quiet and shy, sometimes comes off as awkward, weird, and dorky, but is a sweetheart and is very down to earth and genuine

when the members were asked if they had any complaints about shownu as a leader or if he had any faults, the others complimented him and said they don’t think anyone else would be fit for the position and that he’s the best

isn’t a strict leader, and some people think it’s strange he’s the leader because he doesn’t seem to have much “presence” because he’s quiet, but mx adore him and listen to everything he says

boy can dance! and he participates in helping with mx’s choreography (x / x)

he recently has been referring to himself as “nunu” and also he has a mukbang on M2 going on

wonho

lead vocalist, lead dancer, and the visual

his animal representative is a rabbit 🐰

you can recognize him by: narrow nose and big elf ears! also muscle man, his pecs are huge...

another member you can count on the stylists to have either half naked or completely shirtless

former ulzzang and appeared on ulzzang shidae season 3

considered the caretaker of the group (but not the mom, he just likes to care for his members)

he has a fear of heights, a baby :(((

his image in mx is the sexy, confident guy, which he upholds quite well... lots of lip biting, fan service, ab-flashing, winking, etc.

but... in actuality, he’s a dork, he’s shy, and also a bit awkward too and is very soft and soft-spoken, and caring. giggles a lot. like, not laugh, giggles... it’s adorable!!

also the most sensitive (and temperamental) member, he cries the most easily (and gets upset the most easily) please protect him

gets teased by the other members a lot and ends up complaining that they don’t respect him as an elder

also teases the other members a lot, though, mostly hyungwon, changkyun, and kihyun

he likes ramen. he calls it his “soul food”. feed him.

minhyuk

vocalist & visual

his animal representative is a puppy 🐶

you can recognize him by: his square face, sharp cheekbones and jawline, and unchanging hairstyle through the eras

beagle/mood maker of the group, he has a funny personality and cracks a lot of jokes

really really really wants to be an mc and tbh he’d make a great one

literally never shuts up... I don’t think?

overall has a very energetic, outgoing, and upbeat personality talks a loooot

his hairstyle has changed the least during every era so he’s pretty easy to recognize after time; hair color has changed but cut hasn’t

husky voice number two!!

actually when he speaks his voice is kind of high pitched? but when he sings it gets raspy it’s... pretty attractive...

fangirls are jealous because he has a tall and lean build, thin legs, and sharp features. he’s a pretty boy.

on no mercy he was one of the trainees that everyone kept saying wouldn’t make it to the final lineup

one of the clingiest members... not sure if he loves skinship or not but you can always see him hugging or touching his members

despite being clingy and so energetic, he’s a good listener and deeply cares for the members

kihyun

main vocalist

his animal representative is a hamster 🐹

you can recognize him by: his nose? idk... he has a wide nose to me so that’s how I learned him. monolid and has thin lips and a heart-shaped face with a very deep/pronounced crease between his lower lip and chin.

also he is the tiniest member. he smol...

actually doesn’t like being a hamster, said it “doesn’t suit him” even though the boy literally is as cute as a hamster

HIGH NOTES!?

he has cheek dimples!!! like... cheek bone dimples? they are tiny and are higher on his cheeks and they usually show when he’s laughing

favorite food is chicken. so much so that when mx went to the beach, instead of choosing to eat fish when they had the chance, he chose chicken. shownu has a grudge against him for it.

voted by the members as being the most maknae-like in personality

lowkey is a savage, highkey passive aggressive. he has a very sweet personality and is kind but sometimes gets snarky and blunt with his members and it’s hilarious

also has a death glare and literally the worst at controlling his facial expressions, especially when confused or disgusted

mom of the group; he nags like no other!

hyungwon

lead dancer, vocalist, visual

his animal representative is a turtle 🐢

you can recognize him by: his well-known, very full and luscious? lips; also always looks Perpetually Tired and that’s a Mood

he is a living, breathing meme because of his infamous bitch face... even starbucks knows who he is (he’s actually referred to as “the meme guy” sometimes)

boy got moves (he, too, can dance!)

he’s the tallest member, he’s got the gangly model body

used to be a popular model before joining mx, participated in a lot of fashion shows

he DJs now and his stage name is h.one

sleeps like the dead, according to himself. according to other members, he’s the most difficult to wake up and will often fall back asleep after being woken (what a mood)

Absolutely Detests Aegyo 

the quietest member, tends to not talk much during interviews or variety shows

100% will Not Put Up With His Members’ Shit (you can physically see his soul leaving his body when he’s judging them)

sighs a lot... also a Mood

laughs with his entire body like an adorable dork and claps like a seal it’s endearing and hilarious

joohoney

main rapper & vocalist

his animal representative is a honeybee 🐝

you can recognize him by: DIMPLES!!! FOR!!!!! DAYS!!!!!

recently changed his stage name to “joohoney” from his name jooheon because the character for “heon” is often mispronounced as “hun” and he was trying to make it easier for fans (also stated he always wanted this as his stage name, he’s actually a Big Softie)

absolute love of my life just kidding that’s not an actual fact

Aegyo King

considered the best rapper among starship trainees

he speaks english pretty fluently (some may argue otherwise but under pressure and on the spot he properly used “well” instead of “good” like I’m not even that decent at english)

very high energy personality but is also very gentle and easygoing, kind of roll-with-the-punches and very protective of his members

loves skinship and is definitely the most clingy member

had so much energy as a kid that his pastor stuck him up on stage to perform with his church's choir and that’s how he discovered he wanted to perform

helps to write, compose, and produce mx songs

he has a dog named sanche and two kittens named yoshi and gucci that have their own catstagram

thought of as the scariest member, is actually the most easily scared member

favorite food is dumplings. considers himself a dumpling expert. has stated if he were a food, he would be a dumpling.

I.M

lead rapper, vocalist, and maknae

his animal representative is a wolf 🐺

you can recognize him by: the eyebrow piercing he recently got (funnily enough it was just an aesthetic in the jealousy mv then the boy went and actually got his eyebrow done) also has a wide nose and it’s insanely straight; soft yet sharp features?

fluent in english, lived abroad because his dad is a scientist and work demanded travel (he lived 3 years in boston and 4 in israel)

was disliked by fans for a while and had a really rough time on no mercy because he joined halfway through the series (also the only to join late and make the final lineup)

is closest with jooheon, who was the first to befriend him on no mercy

helps jooheon with writing lyrics for mx

husky voice number three!!

has a... habit... of playing video games naked... in the dorm...

has a cheeky personality and no one can convince me otherwise. he’s an evil maknae. also an illegal maknae. he’s a little shit. I’d like to personally fight him.

tbh though he’s super sweet but he’s also a huge flirt and says things sometimes that definitely have double meanings (cue: changkyun you’re on broadcast please stOP)

had a hard time finding his place in the group so even though he seems very outgoing, he’s actually quiet around people he doesn’t know and kind of comes off as cold or aloof at first

he’s weird once he opens up

Eurovision 2018 Rehearsals Day 6 - Actual first impressions

Armenia: Ooh I love them stacked-up sticks of lighting, it’s like some sort of an unbuilt fence. Sevak sells this song well enough. Nothing else to say, really. Oh yeah and for once I liked the camera shots in a preview clip. Good job Sacha?

Switzerland: Camerawork was decent too but there was this one looooong panning-zoomout shot that I didn’t like. I also didn’t mind Corinne’s clothing this time as opposed to last time. And they gave a camera shot to her brother, too.

Ireland: I still hope they don’t focus the camera WAY too much on the dancers where the main point is supposed to be the performer, not funny background events. There’s at least one shot on him and one spinning shot including him and the lady (I think it’s a lady) on the piano, and that’s good. And yes, whatever was focusing on the dancer boys in the music-video setting worked out well as well but I just don’t want this to be the music video’s replica (well at least it doesn’t seem like it as we have some... even more ‘extra’ dance moves out of this).

Cyprus: We haven’t had a proper slutpop winner since 2005... and a proper rock winner since 2006... so which is better? Also yeah Cyprus is waiting for a victory for longer too, but what else is? Iceland. And they don’t fucking stand a chance. Look, I’m all in for all first time winner countries to happen before I die (which is DEFINITELY not going to happen because we have San Marino and they still haven’t fixed their shit :’) ) but I don’t really want Eurovision to award countries that have waited for that long to do so sorted out by the number of the years of waiting the longest. I mean, with this pattern you get Lisbon 2018, Nicosia 2019, Reykjavik 2020, Valletta 2021, Ljubljana 2022 and so on. With some countries not getting their shit together (looking at you Malta, please stop selecting mediocre/harmless MESC songs as winners), I’d rather if they wait for longer for them than have this pattern followed. (also Budapest 20xx deserves to happen, whether AWS make it happen or not) So I’m sorry about being this bitter, I just... am not a huge fan of this entry as much as I am of the past Cypriot entries. Why the big praise for the ones I’m not that fond of? :( And oh yeah I forgot to talk about performance. Fire, red, choreography, hair. Well at least Romania isn’t in their semi (though if you guys wanted it to fail so badly then you think it should be, that’s sad, I hope that actually no one thinks like this), so we could witness one hair flip a day. Dunno if both will qualify though so there WOULD be 2 in 1 day... :’) (Oh yeah, and Laura Rizzotto’s hair flicks. Flicks, not flips. She might do a flip though)

Norway: And suddenly everyone is not a fan of this. I’m not exactly sure why. Rybak works the stage. I assume it’s because people are already fed up of him even if it’s been so long since he made into Eurovision as a performer. And that he won in the past, too. Well I don’t really want it to win either but since Poland, the guiding torch for all the other competitors for victory, is in their semi, then it might. But Norway 2009 won and Poland didn’t qualify that year. All 3 times Poland didn’t qualify, the winner was either Rybak, a big 5 country or a mediocre dark horse. I hope they qualify so the winner could be a GOOD dark horse. ;) (”You ride a black horse in the rain” - Hovi Star)

Romania: Eh it’s okay for what it is. They got one camera shot wrong though as a guy was escaping his mannequin-challenge pose at the end of it when he was supposed to act like a mannequin. I am not sure how will they get the staging of that moment right enough though but I hope it works decently out, yeah

Serbia: The thumbnail of their rehearsal’s (eurovision.tv courtesy) looks like it’s a typical Balkan song surrounding. Backing vocalist ladies come up to the main singer and stare into the distance like they’ve seen some sh*t. And then they start singing together with the singer in front. Anyway the sound mixing here is terrible but I hope the crowd elevates the feel. (Also they were doing an instagram takeover with The Humans, and unfortunately their journey has ended as soon as Big 5 + host country started rehearsing.)

San Marino: Now with that “Justice for Valentina” sign I can finally compile my “post-nf-pre-ESC-week-season” moments moodboard! Anyway, even with the cameras it’s a big hot mess, the dancers/backings are pointless, they better only keep the robots. Actually, I do want to see some backings. Bring on Basti! Also also, Jenny B’s costume is ugly and I’d rather if she kind of does something like Valentina last year but more youthful and less like ‘your mom tries to be cool again’.

Denmark: Yep, pretty much like the NF staging, except that there’s some pointless pink that shines on Rasmussen’s face. What for..? Trust me, I don’t know either!

Portugal: Oh so they got rid of the chair. As per the banned items request or as per Benjamin’s request? Also I love that Nirvana’s shirt of Isaura’s, reminds me of the lead singer of Musiqq turning in the first rehearsal of Latvia’s with a Spongebob shirt. xD I guess it’s simple enough of a thing there performance-wise? They don’t need to do much, just enough to keep it intimate?

United Kingdom: Oh lights. Something like Levina’s music video last year. I am not sure if this will get UK anywhere that great but I sure hope it’s not too dead of a last if it’s unfortunately last.

Spain: Togetherness. Are they just staring at each other while singing for this whole performance or is there more action to this love? We might not know just yet... but I hope they do something else at some point. Like, dramatically introducing out of nowhere when they begin singing their lines or something.

Germany: All these countries biting their nails about what they’re gonna do without any LEDs in Lisbon and Germany’s just like ‘fuck it, I’mma bring my own one anyway”. Sadly, they come across as ridiculously over-the-top, especially with the silhouettes and the black-white color spinning you see on these hypnosis toys or so. Not to mention, the chorus graphics are just THAT incredibly cartooney that I couldn’t really stand them. I’m thinking this could drop in my overall ranking of 2018 because the song just doesn’t feel too “wow” anymore and it’s just...

Italy: I waited for this so friggin long because I wanted to know about what they decided on about the on-screen shenanigans to make sure this is more than “two men being aggresive for 3 minutes”. And... I think they’re doing something about it, with lines of their song in different languages on different places and accompanying graphics and all. Really playing the sentimental card here. But I’ve yet to see a winner which relied on lots of on-screen effects (for Sweden 2015 it was on-stage effects more than on-screen). We had France 2014 being on-screen effects-heavy, we had Italy 2016 and Bulgaria 2017 relying on simple on-screen white stuff, Israel 2015 had an on-screen snapshot effect at the end of their performance. This... is just ‘extra’ as heck.

France: I thought I was gonna see more people gearing towards French City That Is Mostly The Capital One 2019 idea but it seems that there’s something off about the package so far. Maybe it’s the lack of an audience to do the hand gesture with them? Maybe it’s the unfashionable shoe choice? Oh I don’t know, I’m still holding onto that theory it’s Tallinn 2019 and still would love Sofia 2019 if there’s no one else that I would want to win is topping the charts...

Israeli singer called 'disrespectful' to Japanese culture for wearing kimono during Eurovision

Netta (Bild: AP Images)

An Israeli singer is being accused of appropriating Japanese culture for wearing a kimono onstage.

On Saturday, Netta Barzilai was declared the winner of the Eurovision Song Contest during the annual international competition show’s 63rd broadcast (Conchita Wurst is perhaps the show’s most memorable winner in recent memory), after singing her original hit “Toy” onstage in Lisbon, Portugal.

While the lyrics, which referenced themes such as bullying, the #MeToo movement, and female empowerment, were positively reviewed on social media, other aspects of her performance were not.

In particular, critics called out the 25-year-old’s outfit, which included a pink, red, and black robe and her her hair styled in two high buns. She also rocked a pink smoky eye and exaggerated eyeliner all while doing the chicken dance in front of walls decorated with gold waving cats, which symbolize good luck in Japanese culture.

Online critics called the references to Japanese culture “disrespectful” and people aren’t pleased with her references for what seems like entertainment’s sake, since her song had nothing to do with Japan — aside from a mention of “taking my Pikachu home.” According to The Independent, Barzilai is a noted fan with Bulbasaur, Jigglypuff, and Snorlax being her favorite characters. 

Twitter users had a lot to say.

One small step for Israel and one giant leap for cultural appropriation, thanks Netta Barzilai #eurovision pic.twitter.com/WDJjBdlne8

Israel is really taking cultural appropriation to a whole new level aren't they… #Eurovision #Eurovision2018 pic.twitter.com/H8515O3tLr

Love to celebrate diversity with an Israeli singer dressing up as a Japanese woman #Eurovision https://t.co/z24gMW2nfr

— Zing Tsjeng (@misszing) May 12, 2018

When did it become appropriate to culturally acquire Japanese culture and turn it into a caricature? #Eurovision #Israel Bit disrespectful? What would happen if someone else reduced #Israel to the equivalent of waving a Pikachu around…

— Gar Sin Chong (@TwoShotEspresso) May 12, 2018

how to win #Eurovision step 1 dress up like you're asian step 2 sing in english step 3 imitate a chicken step 4 be none of the above step 5 ??? step 6 profit

— jp (@cracked_skye) May 12, 2018

It should be noted that some did come to Barzilai’s defense.

The cultural appropriation in the set is not ideal, but love the sentiment of this song. Netta Barzilai is such a great performer. #ISR #EUROVISION

— Luisa Lyons (@luisalyons) May 12, 2018

I'm just going to say this: I voted for Netta; it's a great song by a geeky girl. And unusual. I didn't see any cultural appropriation – if you did, fine. I didn't and I voted for the song. It's a music competition! #Eurovision

— Innocent Loverboy (@innocentlb) May 12, 2018

Its not cultural appropriation as long as it is done with admiration of the culture. Netta has said that she chose this theme because it is something that she really loves a lot and she wants to promote it. Context matters!

— bobertoflop (@robertitoAnM) May 13, 2018

Her most notable supporter’s seemingly Gal Gadot, who shared a clip from the show on Instagram. The Israeli actress wrote in the caption, “Yay!!!!!! I’m so happy for Netta!! Congratulations on winning eurovision 2018..!” Gal Gadot wrote on Instagram. “You represent the real wonder in women. So much Truth, confidence and talent. You stand for diversity and you bring fresh beautiful light to the world.and thank you all for voting!!! X.”

Yay!!!!!! I'm so happy for Netta!! Congratulations on winning eurovision 2018..! You represent the real wonder in women. So much Truth, confidence and talent. You stand for diversity and you bring fresh beautiful light to the world.and thank you all for voting!!! X

A post shared by Gal Gadot (@gal_gadot) on May 12, 2018 at 3:52pm PDT

In a video for CNN, Barzilai said, “Thank you for choosing me. Thank you for choosing different. Thank you for choosing daring. I love you, keep that going. Do good to others, be good to yourselves.” She has yet to respond to the controversy.
