thread on why jennie from blackpink is one of the most well-rounded kpop idols, proving why she deserves every bit of her success and more
starting off with what jennie does best - rapping. she’s often praised by professionals in the industry for her tone and flow, as well as for outstanding clarity. here’s a compilation of her rapping pre-debut. yg stans had no doubts about the main rapper position in the ygngg.
one of the most important factors for rappers is stability live - here’s jennie hyping up the crowd, jumping around the stage and sounding as clear as ever during blackpink’s iconic coachella performance
jennie is known to be one of the fastest female kpop rappers, being one of the only non-male idols in the top 15 with 7.88 syllables per second (d4 rap). what ppl usually overlook is her versatility, ability to do slower raps and adapt to the beat of the song easily.
the perfect example is one of jennie’s best raps in my opinion - whistle. rookie main rapper jennie was giving us everything and more with a fast and powerful boombayah verse, as well as whistle’s more chill and laid-back but sassy one
jennie also writes her raps - below there is a video of her and lisa’s self-written rap on their cover of “sure thing”. though not credited, jennie was also definitely involved in the writing of stay and solo, and possibly more blackpink songs since yge doesn’t credit the girls
overall, jennie is a goddess of rap, definitely one of the best. hopefully, she’ll get to showcase more of her abilities in the nearest future
now onto singing. jennie is known for her powerful voice. she knows when to use that power and when to put more emotion and use the softer side. here’s a video of jennie surprising everyone with her brodway themed vocal heavy solo performance
jennie is also known as blackpink’s “opening fairy” as she starts most of their songs with her powerful vocals that set the tone for the further progress of the song
jennie can play multiple musical instruments - piano, flute and recently she learned how to play guitar. here’s another one of her solo stages, where she performs a stripped down version of “best part”, singing and playing the guitar
jennie keeps improving with her vocals every year even though she was already very good during her pre-debut/rookie days. she keeps on growing with confidence while both rapping and doing difficult vocal parts live
now dancing - jennie is an above average idol dancer. she’s very fluid, has a great sense of rhythm and overall is great to look at. and with all that she isn’t a member of blackpink’s well established dance line, which speaks volumes about blackpink’s dancing talent as a group.
she has been catching attention since bbhmm, bby and whistle dance practices, with people praising her dancing abilities. this whistle fancam went viral for rookie jennie’s insane stage presence, charisma and signature dancing style
jennie is shining in different dancing styles, proving the high level of her fluidity and solidifying her as an amazing dancer
stage presence - everyone who has ever been to a blackpink concert will tell you how jennie’s the best hypewoman for the crowd. while delivering vocals and raps, she remains stable and works very hard to deliver a good performance
stan jennie, stan ace
