[@leodegas7731]

I was wondering the same thing. They are probably great singers, but I think it's standard policy to have auto tuning now in bands. I saw this youtuber analyzing current singers and it shows that most audio in 2024 is pitch perfect and now with AI some music can have intentional slight off key then go to standard 440 tuning. Regardless, talent is talent. What do you think? Some auto tuning when they were out of breath?

[@Kkkkk22572]

Why they didn’t perform there songs 😢😢😢😢 so good ?

[@leodegas7731]

@@Kkkkk22572 I think they did well, but some seemed out of breath and it's pretty hard to be dancing, be out of breath and sustain a note. So, I thought there might of been some computerized assistance. It still was an awesome audition in my eyes.

I feel like people dont think about the fact that idols on music shows in korea typically have a backing track with vocals to help sweeten things, where this was completely live, props to them!

[@hapzap]

They mentioned some issues with the audio system on site. I'm sure they'll fix this for the next stage. I've seen them live so I know they sing really well 😊

[@shersxtrustx2864]

@@hapzap I am so confused by people explaining why they “weren’t stable” or how they are “more stable compared to other groups”. I don’t think I need to see more. I only followed their debut and now I totally regret it. They did so well, it was too good and in no part was it unstable. There is a different definition of stable for dancers who are singers as well. Blitzers is the most stable group, probably in the top with Seventeen and Ateez My only issue was the bad timing of the member standing second to last (5th) in 1:18

[@hapzap]

@shersxtrustx2864 They weren't completely satisfied because of a few discrepancies with the tech. But I think they got it under control professionally and put on a rousing performance

[@Fartsquad_]

Well it also depends on the listeners because usually people are used to listening to hearing the studio recorded versions. And in the MVs, ofc they’re going to go hard with the dance chores. So live performances without a backing track are ofc not going to sound the same as the studio version paired with the extreme dance moves. Some fans prefer to hear the backing track supporting these idols as they sing and dance. It’s less pressure for the idols, and it’s what the fans are used to listening To as well. But It is really amazing hearing to hear how they were so stable towards the middle and end while dancing crazy

[@flaggov6949]

Their song Macarena is fire and the MV is so much fun. I hope they perform their own song next time.

Honestly made me kind of really emotional to see such a great reception to something that would be considered a standard performance in the kpop sphere, especially since kpop oftentimes is still not being taken seriously in the west Very proud of Blitzers and how well they represented kpop ❤

[@makurakoneko]

I went to their NYC show on their first tour and the turnout was so bad considering Oneus was at the same venue the night before. And seeing the reception they got on BGT makes me so happy. I've always loved Blitzers so much (ever since I saw the full bodied spin in their choreo for "Breathe Again") and I always felt like they deserved so much more. (⁠*⁠ﾉ⁠・⁠ω⁠・⁠)⁠ﾉ⁠♫

[@spectral__]

For a lot of UK folks, this is their first exposure to K-Pop. It's an incredibly desperate move, but it could pay off, and it's a sign that they're really determined to stay together and find success. I've been following them since debut, and was pretty disappointed that their participation on Peak Time (Korean reality show) hadn't gotten them more fans. I really hope this works out for them. I know they won't win due to contractual issues, but I hope they make it to the finals and get as much exposure as possible. This is honestly a benefit for K-Pop as a whole as it'll bring in a whole new audience. And it's beneficial for BGT as well because they'll get a lot of new, young K-Pop fans watching just to see how far Blitzers can go.

[@mica2573]

totally agree with you! I'm such a big fan of them since debut and have been trying to get more people to know them. I really hope they can make a breakthrough to more international fans worldwide because they seriously deserve it, they're really full of charms once you get to know them.

On the other hand, the group is High Quality! Stable vocals, good coreo and good rapline, which is something difficult to find in the kpop world nowadays bc is ruled by pretty faces with no voice.

[@millennial_fairy]

"I've proudly been a BLEE for over a year now, as well as a dedicated multi K-pop stan. The excitement was real when I heard BLITZERS were auditioning and performing on BGT. Let me tell you, they absolutely owned that stage, looking damn fine while doing so! 👏👏😍 It's evident that a myriad of new BLEEs from diverse backgrounds and across generations were born that day, even amongst the judges! I was slightly surprised they didn't perform one of their original songs, all of which are total bops. However, it's not uncommon for K-pop groups to perform covers on certain music shows, in addition to their own, and they might be saving their original material for later in the competition. Sending greetings from Canada, I'm incredibly proud to see them finally gaining more international recognition, and I truly hope they go far in the competition. Even if they don't win, this could still be a fantastic opportunity for them to gain more exposure and international experience. Their label will likely have more opportunities to collaborate with agencies and figures in both the South Korean and global music industry, including Simon. This could lead to more frequent comebacks, releases in Korean, English, and other languages, enhanced promotion on a worldwide scale, and even more opportunities for concerts and tours across South Korea, Asia, and all over the world.
