top 5 Russia and I wanna vs Historyja majho žyccia

oooooooh nice! thanks for the questions, julija

let’s start with the russian entries (i’m sorry if i rank your faves low hh)

honorable mention: scream (it’s really massively growing on me now, but it wasn’t quite what i wanted or expected and i don’t know if that’s why i don’t like it as much as yatoo... i still really need sergey to do well though, and it’s a powerful composition and sergey’s voice :000 is just soo powerful)

5. 2014: tolmachevy sisters - shinei can’t put my finger on why i like this, but i really like the melody and their harmonies, and idk it’s just the melody i like ?? i’m so sad that they got booed, like, i get why people are protesting against russia’s invasion of ukraine and lgbt laws but,,,, there are a million other opportunites to draw awareness to that that aren’t booing two seventeen year old girls who did nothing wrong :(

4. 2015: polina gagarina - a million voicesthis song is just so warm and encouraging, i greatly prefer the russian version though, but it’s just so uplifiting and polina absolutely elevates that!

3. sergey lazarev - you are the only onehe....yeah, he’s my favorite singer who’s represented russia in eurovision, and one of my fave russian artists (if not favorite), but this just isn’t my favorite song by him? it’s super catchy and has that retro eurovision kinda vibe but it doesn’t just only sound dated or cheesy, it’s feelgood, poppy and dramatic all in once (and the performance really is on another level,,,sergey how what is your secret)

2. 1994: youddiph: vechniy strannikthe russian language really adds to this for me, and it’s such a unique and memorable song for me

1. 2009: anastasia prikhodko - mamoit feels, um, interesting to have a song by an artist who doesn’t even perform in russia anymore as my first place, well, but this is the sort of russian music i like? i can’t specify exactly what, it’s the vibe, genre, mood...overall feeling? (and wow my top two songs don’t have any english lyrics, interesting)

just putting some soft sergey here

also question 2: i wanna or historyja majho žyccia

always historyja majho žyccia - i just talked about how it’s my favorite eurovision song ever and just one of my all time favorite songs; i do think i wanna is a really catchy and fun song and definitely the best that year (in my opinion) and i will keep defending it and continue saying it deserved its victory bc it’s a song that cheers me up and i like marie n and her personality and a lot of her other songs a lot but...it’s just not on the same level :DD it sounds so weird but naviband are like completely incomparable with anything else for me, and idkkkkkkkk why but their music is just on another level for me, everything just sounds so...right and while i wanna is fun and a song i really like it doesn’t come close ? i remember when i was obsessed with i wanna, but it never was the same thing? i still really like it though but i don’t knowwwww how to explain ahhhhh sorry if this isn’t very coherent

an accurate guide about red velvet

So since so many people are getting into Red Velvet recently, I decided to make a guide to help them out. You know, give yall some slack because learning five names is super hard. A guide accompanied by my half-assed jokes, interesting.

PSA: If you’re only here to stan the girls because of their recent comebacks like Peek-A-Boo and Bad Boy and are going to drop them as soon as they release tracks similar to Dumb Dumb and Ice Cream Cake, leave because we don’t want you here.

Now that we got that out of the way, let’s get straight to business (TO DEFEAT THE HUNS WHY DID THEY SEND ME DAUGHTERS WHEN I ASKED FOR SONS)

Basic Facts

Red Velvet is a South Korean girl group formed by SM Entertainment in 2014.

There are five members (OT4 stans can choke).

They debuted on August 1st in 2014 with a single called “Happiness”.

Fandom name is Reveluv. Since “rêve” means “dream” in French, the meaning behind the fandom name is that us, Reveluvs, make their dreams come true and Red Velvet gives us their immense love in return, thus the “luv” part. Sometimes they also call us “Luvies”.

Official fandom colour is pastel coral and not red because l o g i c

The fact that they were formed by SM Entertainment doesn’t mean they got a free ride to the top so sit your entitled asses down, thanks.

Now, you see, they weren’t actually supposed to debut in 2014. I bet you must be confused but don’t worry, it is I, your trusty homie, that is gonna help you realize how many similarities every student has with SM lmao plus the reason for their early debut.

2014 was a rough year for our buddy Lee Soo Man. Jessica left Girl’s Generation; Sulli left f(x); Kris, Tao and Luhan left EXO... This, of course, caused a goddamn World War III amongst the fans of the respective groups. They were about to go in front of the official SM building with torches and pitchforks to demand SM to step up their game. To calm the situation down, our amigo SM must have thought: “Welp I sure fucked up. How the hell do I fix this? Wait, I have an idea! Let’s debut another girl group to cover up all the shit that has been piling up for years now!”

And your boi gone and did it. He basically debuted another group despite the number of problems he had to deal with already. This is every student ever, just make another problem to cover up the first one.

Red Velvet debuted with four members; Irene, Seulgi, Wendy and Joy. The “Happiness” music video got 2 million views in a day and was the most viewed kpop music video for the month of August in 2014. See, the queens already breaking records.

However, the original version of “Happiness” was full of controversial topics such as 9/11 being the most prominent one. This caused such hate to the girls that everyone started calling them “flops”. Lmao Red Velvet stays unbothered as the kpop act with the most Billboard charted albums bYE.

Some of you still may be wondering what the hell happened with Yeri. Well, because their debut was rushed and due to her age, Yeri, unfortunately, couldn’t debut with them. When Red Velvet debuted, Yeri was 15 years old so basically a child.

“bUt jiSUnG fROM ncT DreAM dEBuTed wHeN hE WAs onlY FoUrteEn”

Before, there was a law which stated that kids under the age of 16 couldn’t debut.

No need to worry fellow Yeri stans! Red Velvet only released another single called “Be Natural” before Yeri was officially added. The single featured NCT’s Taeyong on it too so if you are one of those fangirls, better go and check it out because your oppar is there + it is an underrated bop.

Yeri was added to the group during Ice Cream Cake era! Of course, many people hated her, acting as if Red Velvet released so many songs and solved world hunger without Yeri. Um, bitch they had two songs take a seat.

Discography and music in general lol

IT IS GOLD!1!!!!111!!

Okay listen, every single song of theirs makes me thot-drop in the middle of the goddamn school. Jesus Christ sunbaenim is shaking.

Albums: Ice Cream Cake, The Red, The Velvet, Russian Roulette, Rookie, The Red Summer, Perfect Velvet, The Perfect Red Velvet.

Queens of naming their albums don’t even @ me.

Listen to every single song if you want to cure your depression, clear your skin, feed your children and harvest your crops. Seriously, all of their b-sides are so amazing and such bops they are worth a listen and you, as a person who chose to stan Red Velvet, deserve to have your ears cleansed.

Another topic that I want to bring up is “the red concept” and “the velvet concept”. It is not complicated. Basically what it means is that they split their concepts into two. The red concepts are more upbeat, catchy and poppy songs such as Dumb Dumb, Rookie, Russian Roulette etc. However, the velvet concept is where they show their mature, more serious ballads. Songs that represent the velvet side are Automatic, One of These Nights, Peek-A-Boo etc.

They filmed 13 music videos so you are going to get attacked by visuals 13 times, good luck.

Ending note

On a more serious note, Red Velvet is an amazing girl group that deserves so much more. I hope this at least got you to check them out. If not, your loss lol.

I could use a fuckton adjectives to describe their perfection but trust me, that ain’t enough.

Anyways, OT4 stans can fuck off, don’t comment on this post.

Just love all the girls and don’t point out their insecurities in a rude way mmkay?

This is all from me and I hope you enjoyed and that this helped you and maybe made you chuckle (maybe?)

If there is another question that you want me to answer, ask me because I would love to.

P.S. It doesn’t have to be Red Velvet related because I am trash that stans more groups than the number of bad jokes I made in this post.

Follow for more quality top-notch content.
