I saw your ask about Keys version of Shift. And ever since I've been thinking what SHINee songs could each member take as their own and perform. So you get to read my list since I don't have anyone else to share with lol. I just went through the discography really quick and I'm sure after sending you this I'll have other songs I want to add for each member but here's what I came up with so far. What songs would you pick?
Onew: Drive, Lipstick
Jonghyun: Kiss Kiss, Farewell My Love
Minho: Retro, Y.O.U
Key: Picasso, Kind
Taemin: Nightmare, Body Rhythm
anon, yeeeees!
ugh, thank you so much for this
so, all the songs you chose for each of them is so spot on, i-
it even matches their individual vocal range, and styles.
but, i'm gonna pick my fave option from each
so, onew: lipstick
idk, it just has that slower, retro funk vibe that i just love to hear with him. it was a hard pick actually - he'd do both so well - and i would love to hear him do this sort of higher tempo upbeat vibe of drive, but, i just love the vocals of lipstick and can see him really doing it so well.
jonghyun: kiss kiss
hands down. as i've discussed a little before, kiss kiss is such a jonghyun song. it has that prince vibe, and ooooooooh man, he'd nail it. he has the range for it too. those high 'oooh ah haaaa's' would sound gorgeous. and god, the SEXY he'd bring to the performance would just be *MWAH*. though, like i'm gonna say with all the songs you picked, i can see him doing an amazing job at both.
key: picasso
picasso my beloved. i just love this song so much, i think this dance track style suits kibum so well. also, yes, he'd be so sexy about it. and he'd look so good doing a solo version of the choreo. also, it has a nice rap breakdown for him, which, is something i don't think we see often enough from kibum nowadays.
minho: ....both
ooooh, this was tough, i literally couldn't decide. i love y.o.u so much, and i'd love to hear a updated version of it with minho. and, there's something about that drum line in the background that goes so nicely with minho's voice. and the chorus has a stronger essence of that deep and soft vocal that is minho's signature BUT, i would also looooove to hear that retro-modern, more funky, upbeat sound of retro from him. the beat is solid, and i could see him dropping an extra rap verse in there.
taemin: nightmare
again, both would be so good, but, nightmare is a bit more gritty. body rhythm is pretty overtly sexy, but nightmare has a more creepy sexy vibe to it. that vampiresque aesthetic that nightmare's got. very taemin. like, i can really hear taemin's floaty, eerie vocal in that song as it is, it stands out quite a bit actually, and oh man, a full version of it with him would be awesome. it's something i could easily see fitting into ngda in fact.
anyway yes, thank you so much, anon, these were such good suggestions. though admittedly, i'm kinda sad now because............i want it lol.
