This is not an official analysis or dance rank. It is just be zooming in on those I feel did a great job with the move. It is to appreciate when everyone did it well and catch details that may have been missed earlier.
I recommend watching this once without reading the text to just appreciate how well everyone does it and then read for my explanation. I know there’s a lot going on at once sorry. Remember, this is not to put down any member or rank them or anything. It is simply to appreciate the details of the dance. Still, I will talk about my general takeaways.

My Blackpink version of this seems to have gotten a lot of negative feedback over the past few days. I am still getting rude responses. Please be positive and respectful even if you disagree. I really do look at every single person and explain why I picked the one I did. I would be happy to discuss w you all in a friendly way. ALSO, if anyone comes at me saying I’m Yuna biased bc she’s actually the 2nd worst dancer in the group and I clearly favour her since I give her a segment in the end or something...my bias list is 1. Ryujin, Chaeryeong, Lia, Yeji, Yuna. Maybe I am biased to Yuna’s STYLE of dancing if anything, but not to Yuna herself. This isn’t about hyping some members to put others down.

Here is what the distribution ultimately was:
Yeji = 53s
Yuna = 48s
Chaeryeong = 36s
Ryujin = 23s
Lia = 15s

Overall, this dance is very precise and cool. I really like it. There are lots of little details. However, this trips the members up a lot. Right off the bat, almost every move has a few members off time. This is likely because the choreo is so precise and some big moves have to be made in a brief time. That means some people may start earlier to get there or bounce back quicker to get to the next move. They also may lag as it takes them longer to complete the move than they thought. Alternatively, they may cut corners on the move all together. Pretty much everyone did at least two of these things. It’s not a bad thing really, maybe more of a fault in the choreo but I enjoy it overall it's a good dance. I’m learning the chorus right now and I find the general thing easy but the little details rather difficult. And the chorus is the easiest part so I can only imagine how the rest feels.

Yeji
Best shoulder and chest fluidity which comes in handy during this dance. She also knows what to do with her body to make things look next level good. One issue is her timing throughout.

Yuna
She knows exactly how to hold her body. She always ends up in the perfect position and rarely looks awkward if ever. However her accuracy to the moves themselves aren’t always as good. Her timing is sometimes off. That’s why she excels at slower moves as she simply holds herself best.

Chaeryeong
Perfect timing basically all the time. Every little detail is hit. She is amazing with her footwork and chest pops. She’s the best dancer in the group imo. I think she really only ended up third bc Yeji and Yuna’s energy matched the song better and they were sharper with it. Chaeryeong is basically always one of the top 3 for these moves throughout.

Ryujin
Overall very clean. She is good at being straight and sturdy and rarely loses balance. She is good with subtle head movements too. However she is also less fluid with her chest and hips, she also doesn’t always extend her arms all the way. I think this is due to her more masculine and hip hop style dance where she does short and sharp yet skillfully stiff moves. However when she applies that to some moves here it loses some bounce and accuracy. Although, when watching their stages I find my eyes go to Ryujin most so these details don’t always matter in general performance.

Lia
She really isn’t that bad a dancer but this practice is rough for her. I feel she has done better in the past or even on live stages. She often substitutes moves with different actions all together. I am not sure if she can’t do them or just isn’t sure what to do or is rushing because the dance is so fast and loses accuracy. Her timing is frequently off BUT usually it is not just her. She is good at being expressive through the entire dance, more than any other member. They are also singing during this practice so she spent a lot of her focus on that.
