“Fuck. Let me show you what a real workout is, slut.”

workout buddy! whitney who’s not known for being the most welcoming, cheerful person at the gym. always with a trained, pissed off look on his face, glaring at anyone who dares to interrupt him between reps as he’s busy lifting weights, sending them off to scurry away to the other side of the gym. lucky for you though, it seems you caught his attention, silently watching you from afar with an unreadable look in his eyes.

workout buddy! whitney who insists on correcting your form whenever you’re lifting weights, the smug bastard unable to help himself when it comes to correcting someone else. of course, that poor person just happens to be you, newbie who doesn’t know the very first thing about posture or tempo. don’t worry, the delinquent’s here to help. rough hand placed onto your back to straighten your spine or so he claims while the other one is grasping at your hip, trailing lower then it really should.

workout buddy! whitney who gets a bit too comfortable with your personal space, starting off with light, ‘accidental’ brushes to your lower back, eventually finding themselves down to your behind that he loves to press against with his crotch. enjoys the startled squeaks that elicits from you, clear grin on his face once you whip your head around to meet his avoidant gaze, pretending to be innocent.

workout buddy! whitney who’s a complete and utter bastard and refuses to share his bottle of water with you, making a show of drinking it right in front of you, soft, pink lips wrapped around the rim of his flask. oh, how you wish you could get a taste of that sweet, sweet water to quench the undeniable thirst in your mouth. only willing to lend you some if you beg for it, frantic pleas bringing a smirk to his lips. proceeds to pull you into an unexpected kiss, forcing the liquid down your throat for you to swallow. sloppily kissing you with his tongue just for him to pull away and walk off like nothing happened.

workout buddy! whitney who you somehow run into constantly at the showers with his gym clothes already off, toned body slicked with sweat and humidity from the steaming water. probably the most awkward experience you have to live through, standing next to him beneath the shower sprays raining down onto your naked bodies. no need to be nervous, you’re both guys aren’t you? leers at you the whole time, wandering hands dipping down to ‘accidentally’ squeeze and get a feel of your ass.

workout buddy! whitney who has your entire schedule memorized, from when you first walk into the gym, which exercises you do, how many sets in total you have, specific shower time. what a coincidence it is, bumping into the blond near the entrance as you’re ready to head out, him pulling you back to invite you for a night at the pub that he desperately hopes you accept. might end up with him slipping you inside his run-down apartment, firm arm wrapped around your waist, smirking to himself.

workout buddy! whitney who’s getting increasingly impatient in his pursuit of you, quick and heavy breath fanning the shell of your ear, being all too close for something that’s simply the demonstration of an exercise. trapping you between his strong arms to keep you in place, not-so-subtly getting himself off by grinding against your leg, throbbing boner in his sweats. shit, that shocked expression on your face and your little squirms is everything to the bully, restraining himself from fucking you right then and there.

workout buddy! whitney who now has you bent over one of the benches or pressed up against the lockers as he ruthlessly fucks into you, propping your leg up over his hip for support, balls meeting your stretched out hole with every slap resounding lowly in the changing room. fuck, he knew you’d crack one day, it was just a matter of time before he finally got his hands on you, now forever his to claim. whitney’s own fucking gym buddy now turned into his personal slut, eagerly taking in his fat cock. what a whore you are, slut.

anything to say, asher?

- “FEM!WHITNEY AS YOUR WORKOUT BUDDY, CANT FUCKING CONCENTRATE, I’D BE STARING AT HER TITS THE ENTIRE TIME. LICKING THAT SWEAT OFF NO NEED TO SHOWER WHEN YOU HAVE M—“

Bts voice analysis anon here! I just wanted to thank you for taking the time to respond ❤ it made complete sense why yoongi is the deepest I kinda feel bad for him everytime he wants to sounds cheerful or speak in a way so people can hear him he strains his voice

lot to talk about, i’d like to expand on this. especially what his voice being the deepest means for bts’ songs. plus, where his undiscovered vocal talents are, and in what manner his voice will not strain.

that he’s very introverted contributes to what you say, but yoongi is certainly the odd one out voice-wise, such low baritones hardly sound upbeat. similar to how taehyung being the odd one out in the vocal line whose head voices are literal superpowers. i really respect him for singing with jin and jimin who can climb one octave higher than him, up to C#5! and with jk who has the best technique and breaks into the 6th octave if he goes on like that.

it’s very much like yoongi who probably has to mix their tracks back and forth to fit his parts with hobi (who is a tenor as a rapper! — very uncommon) and namjoon who raps in several modes. very low, very high, very impactfully. he’s the most full-bodied baritone in the group even if he’s only the third-deepest. the tone is just so rich. both hoseok and RM are extreme vocal chameleons on top of that. in speaking and in their music you can hear the difference to yoongi all the time. they don’t suddenly drop in pitch and they’re vocal acrobats.

hobi in particular, this guy can do anything. the sheer agility my god, he connects his registers. he can go up and down, impersonate and do a million effects, adlibs, you know the drill. it’s him who actually owns the “cheerful/loud and clear” brand you mention. which is good if not fantastic for yoongi’s production endeavours, the group mood, and how bts cannot be ignored — but tough for yoongi’s voice and comparison thinking, and when he tries to make a point in interviews. maybe it’s not bad that bts have to slow down sometimes to let yoongi speak, but his tone is drowned out (not intentionally of course) in other occasions and he wakes up hoarse often as we saw. which might sound hot, but it’s not good for him as you say.

to be clear. i wouldn’t chalk down his more monotonous and silent tone as a weakness, it’s just outside of bts’ other vocal variety. he makes up for it with speed and good lungs anyway. we just have to listen more closely to him in talks/episodes/conferences but i think he shouldn’t worry about it either or try to sound more enthusiastic, the fans love his soothing speech for its pure sake. he does change it regardless to be more poignant and blend in. it has pros and cons but it wears him out.

yoongi’s voice is under that strain not just in conversation but also in the studio if he wants to bring connection to the rap line parts instead of having 3 songs in 1. which usually ends up happening anyway. that’s also why the cyphers (!) switch genres mid-song so often: their voices are all strong in different registers! yoongi the lowest, joon midrange, and hoseok up high. 

that’s why cypher pt2 is a HUGE stunt and production masterpiece: hoseok’s part is tuned differently, then other instrumentals start with namjoon. and you can literally hear, okay alright a deep voice is coming! from there it just gets deeper and deeper until yoongi is just rapping over a bass guitar (every baritone’s best friend lmao!). god, please give yoongi a big bassline for his every part. “ugh” is the exact opposite: yoongi has to start too high and namjoon also has problems with the key, only hoseok can fully take off after 1:50 with perfect vocal stability. guess which song is autotuned: it’s not cypher pt2! a 3 in 1 song fuels the rapline in a way where they are most comfortable. it’s crazy how far apart they are among each other vocally and it has to be considered.

it’s a dilemma but also why bts’ rap line can tackle any song with at least one member suiting it. they complement each other, every register (except the rare whistle register, aka what mariah/ariana do) is covered. i think that contributed to bts’ fame, it’s so important. however usually, the song caters to hoseok since tenors are preferred in kpop music, or it caters to RM as he’s the central songwriting entity even if mind you, he always thinks about all the members and works closely with yoongi.

but even with joon’s support, it doesn’t work if yoongi is caught in his wish to be a tenor. we’ve seen how much the guy talks about wanting his range to become wider and how he even tried singing quite high for his standards on d-2. he goes as far as collabing only with sopranos to help him achieve that pitch. yoongi is invested to pretty much change his entire vocal type 🙁because the environment simps for high notes so bad (which is fair, falsetto is related to releasing certain happy hormones and highlights parts in songs, but still).

... he actually can’t, unless he wants to damage his throat. that’s the last thing we want. a listener can get the serotonin from a very deep voice equally if they got good taste.

thing is. you cannot morph yourself into a different vocal type and shift your range to the opposite of your comfort zone unless you’re whitney houston. even one in a million tenors like baekhyun can’t make themselves a baritone. his lowest notes are less clear no matter how hard he practices, even if his chest voice is almost operatic and his technique excels. meanwhile, chanyeol (who’s a lyric baritone and exo’s deepest voice) effortlessly hits them without (!!) that kind of decade-long training. have baekhyun or jimin been called bad singers for not being able to cover the other end of the spectrum? nope. so: why would yoongi be a bad vocalist who needs autotune. with lessons, oh man, he could do a lot and many things he dreams of. he has a very unique timbre and enough musical knowledge to do so.

so, we see the magic of your natural supported range. it’s simply given to you. imagine that: if you know you’re not a tenor, you could sort of outsing jungkook — obviously not by technique, but projection— as long as the song is tailored to you and the notes are low enough. yep, jk’s lower register is not extremely forward. each note is perfectly sung because he’s jk, but his power vocals are settled much higher. joon/tae/yoongi would sound much fuller with huge oomph in those lines. that’s where yoongi would be much more clear-sounding to us. a lot of baritone rappers in kpop would be damn good singers. 

that’s why it’s good how a lot of rappers produce solos on their own so they can try it out. 

you just have to respect that your range usually (not always) goes in one direction. once yoongi rightfully decides to abandon his high note fantasy and goes lower just for fun, we are not safe anymore lmao! exception for range: female singers have an advantage there. trained mezzo-sopranos have great access to the head voice and lower registers since they’re in the perfect middle of the scale. but the guys, forget it, even the baritenors. yoongi’s fullest voice will always be coming from a chesty depth and we love him for it. guy just needs to realize.

that’s why his real challenge is rather somehow tweaking the rap parts so his voice finds good resonance like in “혼술” or even “ddaeng”. where his voice is strong, relaxed, and full and flowing. ddaeng — “boy with luv”, too— is ironically in a very high pitch and again caters to hobi’s tone the most, but: yoongi just scales down to his own octave and it still fits, so — great key choice and musicality! and adaptation. it’s not easy to do. you can tell he plays piano.

he either becomes less easy on the ear or has to autotune himself entirely if he works against his voice. or: goes on a track way outside his supported range (dynamite, WOW). it’s a shame. “daechwita” and “agust d” are such a case: both go into the head voice where your resonance should show the most aka the chorus. there are aggressive belts/snarls/shouts that make more sense for higher, trained voices. yoongi is most famous for raps that are literally designed to fuck up his vocal cords 😷that he’s so skilled as a rapper prevents him from that to a degree, but it’s still not healthy. he adapts a lot to bts’ overall delivery but he doesn’t have to, in fact: he could go in the other direction and it would work even better.

the reason for the title track issue: they are the most energetic. in k-pop, energetic means amping up the pitch. and that’s probably a logical choice and a natural human association. if you make a baritone kpop track with a lot of energy, it probably becomes pretty creepy, uneasy, film noir. but i think that’s exactly yoongi’s thing: to unsettle and critique and rage. i think it could work out. lil nas x is a baritone pulling it off. he achieves energetic title tracks, he honors his vocal type well imo. his live singing is cool af, i need this so hard in the rap landscape. so, it’s not impossible to do.

the trick is probably setting everything to minor key. surprise... yoongi’s challenging title tracks are all in major key. boy with luv: minor key, interesting. the former are extremely difficult for him to do so hats off. “shadow” is more suitable for his baritone as is “burn it”. it needs a very heavy, dark track. which is why it’s good that yoongi has that kind of public image. a baritone’s best genre is not super light and whimsical. that’s why all of our baritone faves are not main vocalists but main rappers. kai, taehyung, jaehyun: low voices in vocal lines are soldiers.

---

now a note on yoongi’s best method of singing since it reflects his voice type and brings out the fullness of it. as in, how does it crack and strain less? guess why “사람” is yoongi’s favorite d-2 song to sing. it’s ALL his comfortable range and the singing — very beautifully done —  is in mixed register (= head + chest)! which imo might be his secret weapon. it allows him to do what he longs to do successfuly without going extremely high. bingo.

because: even with baritones, the golden middle is still important. they’re not as deep as a bass, after all. that’s why their voices are so honey-laced in the mixed range and it sounds amazing. heaven, their timbre sounds so seductive. so, it’s wonderful when they find their middle and dare to sing. 

i wish yoongi gets/makes more tracks aimed at just that. in “outro tear” he has to go both too low and too high so it takes a lot of production effort to patch it together. the rapline is doing god’s work to make all their voices sound cohesive without being trained singers. it’s always a trade-off and risk, an immense balance act. “paldogangsan” is hard on yoongi’s voice but works as a whole plus it caters to namjoon to carry the song’s message. the cyphers are chopped up and not chart-friendly but each member is in their comfort zone. 

PS: i said bts’ rap line covers all registers except one. i think that jin is the one to complete bts’ entire spectrum coming from the vocal line. i’m no whistle note expert but dionysus went pretty high up there, i think he might be able to do it. it’s very impressive, even jungkook and jimin probably don’t have access to that register. so, another point for bts being a very ‘complete’ group.

Girl Spirit review -Ep 3- *Fight Song Team “B”*

This week is the part two of fight song theme, team “B” will be performing .. as they called themselves the team of death XD it’ll be a fierce competition for sure !  The order of performances as it was decided by Bohyung in the first episode goes like this: 

1- BESTIe’s U.Ji 2- April’s JinSol 3- Ladies Code’s Sojung 4- Fiestar’s Hyemi 5- Spica’s Bohyung, 6- Laboum’s soyeon 

Let the fight begin ! 

First one to head to the stage was U.JI .. I had no idea about her past with Exid or about BESTIe either tbh, but I felt so sad for her, many people address idols in a harsh attacking words that they don’t see how hurtful they are, but they can drive those idols crazy or even take  dramatic decisions, I hope people would stop assuming and attacking from behind the screen it’s really frustrating and those idols have already enough to be depressed about so cut them some slack please u_u I hope her group becomes more successful in the future U.JI sang Whitney Houston’s “I Have Nothing”, Brave choice I must say, but from the first note she sang she pas amazing, you could tell she felt the song and that she poured her emotions into it,I was almost moved to tears at some point, also it was a very mature performance, she did so well, she plays with the notes and volume and techniques, you can tell she’s a very good singer, I feel sorry again for not knowing her before, many people would name Hyorin for songs like these but I feel UJI was so much better with her techniques.. I love Hyurin it’s just a reflection on how narrow our thinking can be in Kpop.. anyway what an opening stage !! She got a super high score which she deserved totally everyone was WOWed 

Next was JinSeol, poor girl she was terrified after UJI’s performance XD yet she did well, at first she played a clip of her froom 2 years ago, these things always tangle the audience’s hearts and make you relate with the person, she sang well overall it was a nice light stage good for her age 

next is Sojung , I was so so happy to see her exercise like that, she talked about beating eating disorders and strength and breathing control, which is all very important for singer, I wish more girl group members start eating healthy foods and workout more to have a healthier mind and body *fighting* 

Sojung  performed Lee Hi’s “1.2.3.4″ which I thought wwas a good choice for her voice and style, it was a shame she had a cold though, the performance couldn’ve been so much better if her condition was good because of that she looked nervous and regretful too T-T still she gave a very good performance and  the guys were just drooling there hahaha  then the Guru was complaining about the score XD I feel him, the audience can be weird sometimes 

Forth performer is Hyemi, side note I always like to see idol stars going to college and pursuing their studies, not many can have that but it’s very important so props to her for doing it. She decided to sing is Miss A’s “Hush” she performed well her dancng and stage appeal was very good, her voice worked well and the EDM fusion was interesting, but it was almost a forgettable stage which is a shame, I think she’s still looking for THE song that will make her shine, also I don’t see how is Hush a fight song but that’s a personal perspective which I have no say about XD 

Time now for Bohyung to take the stage, she’s performing “The Unwritten Legend” by Shin Seunghun, she only had one day to prepare for it but .. man that girl can sing :o She picked a song she relates to, more that relating it was what inspired her to become a singer in the first place, the way she arranged and sang it was so great I want it on my phone tbh, her confidence and style of singing is so different from others, it shows a lot of maturity and contol I really admire her, I also hope Spica get better songs from now on like PLEASE!! 

Last stage already, Soyeon’s fight song is Lee Mija’s ‘Lady Dongbaek” she wanted to dedicate it to her teacher who helped her during her high school years, you could tell from the start that the performance was gonna be very emotional and that what it was, the song is so beautiful itself (I love older songs excuse me) and she sang it with grace and beauty I liked her stage overall. When she finished they showed her her teacher who was actually in the audience the entire time, I cried rivers at that moment, it was just too emotional and touching for everyone, Teachers have a great impact on our lives I hope more of them realize that and help their students more !

After all the performances were over, the second round of votes was held and based on it here are the top 3 of this episode: 

3- A tie between Sojung and Soyeon

2- Bohyung 

1 UJI 

It was a nice episode, the final ranking made sense to me too so I can’t wait for the next one ^^  ps: I wasn’t wrong to call Seunghee the female Sandeul lol her reactions are amazing kkkkkk 

That’s all for this Episode, I hope to write my reviw on 4th episode soon 

Bye Bye~~
