Unmasking Media Bias, Rethinking Music Awards, and Celebrating Global Collaborations

Is media bias distorting your view of the music industry? We're shining a light on the whirlwind controversy surrounding Jessi and how sensationalist reporting painted her in an unfair light. After an exhaustive investigation cleared her of all charges, we're left asking: how much damage can a skewed narrative really cause? Discover the emotional toll such incidents can have while we send positive vibes Jessi's way and discuss the significance of standing by those unjustly scrutinized.

Can we measure musical talent through awards and/or charts alone? We challenge the idea that quality is synonymous with popularity, focusing on artists like TXT who defy traditional metrics yet captivate audiences worldwide. The Grammy's may have their limitations, especially when it comes to recognizing non-Western artists and those who write their own music. We also dive into the polarizing opinions about major artists to emphasize that popularity and artistic quality are not mutually exclusive.

Get ready for exciting news in the world of music collaborations and tours! We're thrilled about BE:FIRST's upcoming 2025 world tour and the successful dome tour in Japan, while also highlighting SkyHi's collaboration with Kaito from King & Prince. The rise of cross-cultural collaborations is reshaping global profiles, and we're here for it. Plus, there's a tantalizing teaser you won't want to miss—something big is on the horizon, and we're keeping it under wraps for now. Stay tuned for more updates and continue to join us as we explore the vibrant evolution of Asian pop music!

Transcript

Speaker 1 0:21

Welcome everybody to another episode of Music Elixir, with me Sarah Ann, miss Panic. And today, what are we doing? Rants and ramblings, rants and ramblings.

Speaker 2 0:31

All right, because we did a rants and rambling where we talked about Jessie, yes, and how pissed off we were. I know I couldn't be nice, but I mean, I was just really pissed, come on.

Speaker 1 0:44

Oh yeah, well, the whole thing when we were talking about it. We're just going to jump right into it, everybody.

Speaker 2 0:49

Yeah.

Speaker 1 0:51

We were talking about. All I had seen were little bits and clips. I was like you can't really tell what was happening, other than I noticed when I was watching it. I was like people were complaining she didn't do enough. I was like people were complaining she didn't do enough. I was like, well, it looked like she was like what? Stop Somebody, just back off. But you know, apparently from what we found out, edited by the media outlets to sort of make it look like she didn't do much, and then threw up her hands and walked away and that's not what happened away, and that's not what happened exactly.

Speaker 2 1:26

The the full thing, because she got dragged into the police station and questioned for hours, which is a very common thing. Doesn't sound like another rapper who's very, you know, famous and they're very, very, very famous that got the same kind of rap?

Speaker 1 1:39

yeah you know bad, bad editing false um false footage footage yeah like.

Speaker 2 1:46

What do you call it bad? Edits um questions for how many hours?

Speaker 1 1:51

detained and and then forced to go back and face the world and be like, yeah, you know. So anyways, yeah, this. It came out that after the hours of police interrogation, or I'm sorry. Questioning they determined that she was not responsible or at fault for anything.

Speaker 2 2:16

She is cleared of all charges. Yes, I'm like she shouldn't be charged at all.

Speaker 1 2:23

No, she wasn't the one who did anything to this person. I know.

Speaker 2 2:27

So how about the people who were just standing around too? Well, how come those weren't also taken in question and be charged, just because they were just standing around?

Speaker 1 2:35

They probably don't have the money and the clout to pull in, you know give someone their 15 minutes of fame. Yeah, the you know. Yeah, give someone their 15 minutes of fame. Yeah, I'm just, I'm very happy for her, because the way she was being treated by the media, by I don't know if it was netizens, fans, non-fans, whoever, like everybody, was just so quick to judge and say that she was wrong. And yeah, this is, of course, though, sort of how society is. You know, you just immediately oh look what they did like.

Speaker 1 3:09

From what I saw the brief stuff, I saw the unfiltered you know I was like I. What did people think she could do? Exactly because we were talking about it at the time, I was like I wouldn't step in to a bunch of guys exactly starting to have a brawl, exactly no thanks. So what was she supposed to do exactly?

Speaker 2 3:34

I mean exactly how. What is she to? How can she stop a fight between two guys?

Speaker 1 3:39

or three or five.

Speaker 2 3:41

However, whatever the group is there because unless you find a fire hose and you'll be like hosting everybody down, like come you know, yeah that would be the only way she could, I stop them. Yeah, you will hold them down and separate them. You know, like dogs, you do that to dogs. You take out the holes. It's like stop it, you know jeez, so you know yeah uh so I'm glad but you know especially when it was also sort of more uh prompted.

Speaker 1 4:13

But this wasn't, she wasn't out on some promotional no gig she was out on her own personal time and someone got in her space yeah, just you know hanging around.

Speaker 2 4:23

Yeah, it's oh jeez, so that's like we're very happy she's yes, finally justice for jesse, you know, even though I'm sure she went through hell mentally because of all this, bs and I know we're like dang. She cannot catch a break like yo yeah, she's just been having a.

Speaker 1 4:46

This whole past year for her has been oh, my god up and down and back and forth and and then having people who supposedly fans and again non-fans yeah, tend to be even louder, but just to like, have the people who generally support you not support you or question your you know what was going on. It just must have been horrible for her, you know.

Speaker 2 5:10

Yeah.

Speaker 1 5:11

Like just knock her down and keep her down. What the hell people.

Speaker 2 5:15

Yeah, you're good, boo, you're good girl.

Speaker 1 5:20

Yeah, we're here, we're very happy, we're very happy.

Speaker 2 5:22

We're done. Yeah, you know you well, you know we're done, but I mean it's not done, but you know like, but anyways, finally, jeez, we I know we like dropped that episode and that news came out and we're like, oh my god, we just talked about her yeah, wasn't it like the day after we dropped the episode?

Speaker 1 5:40

they were like she's clear. We were like dang we did something.

Speaker 2 5:49

We did something at the power of our positivity we're like we were putting it out there. She's not at fault exactly sending those positive vibes to you know, jerks, you did nothing. How can you stop a group of guys so?

Speaker 1 6:09

well and uh, and just to hear too that it was editing by the, the news outlets. Yeah, that made it look like she was just you know like she's part of it whatever, she started the brawl and I'm like go, go, go that was like now, that was ridiculous, so, but that's media everywhere, does that, of course, my god?

Speaker 2 6:32

the media just want to be, you know well, because that's what sells. That's why I don't, that's why I don't like to look at news, because there's hardly any good news outlets that will give you the truth, or just because, oh my god, ratings are low. We need to do something.

Speaker 1 6:47

Well, because if it's not sensational, people don't engage with it. It's got to be outrageous. What happened? Look at this, you know. No, I just want to know, yeah, what happened? Show me all the details. You, you know, just reading something like that, you can pick and choose the on your own things to focus on anyway. So you don't need the media purposely picking the worst parts of something, because people can do that on their own.

Speaker 2 7:17

So anyways, yay, jesse, yes finally, yes, okay, so another news that it's just actually this came out like I think I sent you the blur last night on friday.

Speaker 1 7:29

Oh yeah, about, uh, grammys by the way we're recording on november 9th yes, just to let you know this. So this yeah may or may not be current we the past.

Speaker 2 7:39

We're speaking to you from the past anyways. So the grammys have no k-pop nominees for another year and netizens are. They're just going crazy with this more than jesse. Well, all kind girl I know that that their timeline is crazy. They're insulting their bejesus out of them. They're like their insults are really bad.

Speaker 1 8:23

Well, I was gonna say because there were several artists individually like solo stuff going on and several groups who did actually put it. You know you have to put in your submission for consideration, right? Yeah, like I never knew.

Speaker 2 8:42

I'm not a.

Speaker 1 8:43

I'm not a grammy follower so I'm like I don't know how does the whole nomination and you know price, you know voting, or how they do this, yeah, I, I really don't know I, I don't know the background, I just do know, like you do have to say, hey, I think, or you know your company has to say, hey, we think our guys did this, or our girls did this right, really great song. Please consider it for you know, whatever category, best new song, best summer, what? I don't even know what the categories are, right, artist album, you know things like that. And then it's up to I don't know some random panel of people to say this song or this song is or isn't in. So I don't know exactly who technically had their music submitted, but it has been rumor milled that bts, uh, 50, 50 new jeans, I think, txt, a couple of other people did in fact put in submissions and none of them got selected and that's, though, and I don't know.

Speaker 1 9:48

If it was, it must have been the bts solos, because they haven't had an album album together for a while but so I don't know if their teams didn't put in I don't know enough good pr behind it, I I don't know how they get picked, I don't know how the the nominees, get sorted out the logistics of how you can get just nominated you know and how you get voted to win or how you

Speaker 1 10:14

get to become a winner or pick to be the winner of that year so you know, I guess that's why we have so many different types of music award shows, though, because then everybody can base it on their own statistics and logistics and whatnot. But I yeah, I don't know how the grammys, and apparently bts, are the only ones who've ever received a nomination for a grammy. So that says something too right, exactly that, despite how popular these groups are. I mean, hello yeah, txt toured all across the united states this year.

Speaker 2 10:48

Oh my, god, they're plenty out. Plenty or more like k-pop art groups or artists that could be in there.

Speaker 1 10:56

We have plenty yeah, it's not just a couple of you know people or groups yeah, well, those were. Those were just the ones I heard. Had in fact submitted it's.

Speaker 2 11:07

There's probably even more yeah, I mean, you have ats as well there's another one, was that recently? Uh, tx. You said txt also right.

Speaker 1 11:17

Yeah, you got lesser offend which is another one who's? Better likes driving as well I don't know so the fact that they were so popular here, obviously their music's getting played and global sensations I mean these are groups who are global sensations right you know.

Speaker 2 11:34

So it, I don't know, it's a.

Speaker 1 11:36

Yeah, I'm like baffled of like what and especially for sure, txt does have a lot of writing credits within their own music, so it's not like yeah, that was another thing I was thinking of do you have to partake, you know.

Speaker 2 11:49

Do you have to, you know, be composing or writing lyrics. You know like you have. It has to be like your own creation because I mean, you know, I mean they have our boys from b.

Speaker 2 12:01

You know they work on their own music. So, yes, I guess I'm going to read this ex-Twitter post that I found from somebody I'm not going to name names, but I'm somebody so it says verbatim from this person. The absence of K-pop artists in the 2025 Grammy nominees is surprising, given the genre's global influence and massive fan base. While K-pop has continued to dominate charts which is so true and cultural conversations, the snub highlights the fierce competition and subjective nature of the grammys, leaving many fans disappointed because you're leaving out a large part of music that is impactful, influential and growing.

Speaker 1 12:55

I mean they're reaching across borders. You're going out there somebody clap back.

Speaker 2 13:01

Oh, somebody clap back to what I just read.

Speaker 1 13:04

Oh really, what did they have to say?

Speaker 2 13:08

uh, this person says, grammy is not just about charts and commercial music. The quality matters a lot, so why yo? So they're just saying K-pop is not quality.

Speaker 1 13:26

Yeah, what the hell that clap back. I'm like, eh, okay, I get, I'm not disparaging, but I get. Taylor Swift writes music and does her own stuff and she's a huge powerhouse. No, yeah, but these guys also, especially, like I said, txt. We know they have writing credits on their music, so hers is better quality. How, why? Hers is pop music also.

Speaker 2 13:55

I know this person is like. Grammys is not about charts and commercial music.

Music Awards and Industry Influences

Speaker 1 14:03

The quality matters a lot but these guys aren't necessarily charting here, and that's the point. The the music that's being selected is mostly western artists, obviously because, there are no k-pop acts but the like.

Speaker 2 14:23

I threw a wrench in concierge brain on this comment well, because it's it's a stupid. I'm sorry, come on say I'm gonna say it's stupid that's a stupid comment.

Speaker 1 14:37

It just is because what? So you're saying the only quality music is western artists? I can tell you for sure there is some garbage that gets, but these guys, they're not charting here. So it's not about charts, it's about whether or not their music is artistic. And they have talent and they do so. Why aren't they?

Speaker 2 14:56

right, that's, that's what he said. This person no, I'm saying he, because there's a picture of a band there, but, um, it could be anybody, because you know you could be catfishing, but what they're? Saying is Grammy is not just about charts and commercial music. The quality matters a lot.

Speaker 1 15:14

Right, so that's what I'm saying, though, is, txt is not charting here in the US. They're popular, they have a huge fan base, but they are not on the top 40. So that's not what the music is about. That's not why their music is popular, and it's the quality of their music is comparable to a lot of the western artists that are getting nominated exactly, and I can honestly say half. I'm like who is sad? Even I don't, and I don't like the music. I'm so awful. Oh my God Cause. Yeah, no, there've been plenty of times I'm like I've whatever. Okay, I've heard some of those Grammy award winning songs. I'm like, eh, you know.

Speaker 2 16:02

I catch you girl.

Speaker 1 16:02

So like, like, it's not even musically complicated or intricate, or even interesting in some cases. That comment is annoying because if they knew k-pop music they would know it's. It's not charting here, right? It's not?

Speaker 2 16:21

well, the only one who charges bts, and they're right, it is you know they're the only ones that charted. Were, you know, like uh jungkook definitely charted? Oh yeah, definitely. Yeah, jimin did, but I mean I think them from uh, from the solos, I think the most was uh jungkook. Yeah, you know, especially with that golden album, yeah, that was huge, exactly. But I guess, like if, like you said, if they don't, if big hit doesn't say hey you know, here's a few songs from junk, you know, consider yeah, I have no idea.

Speaker 1 16:55

But, like I said that, that argument just doesn't work because we're not talking about groups that chart over here, right? So you know, yeah, except for jk. Yes, he, he had a couple, and it depends on the chart you're looking at. It depends on the music collective, that's, you know, determining who's charting on what and where. Yeah, I, and that was just. It's because people they don't consider boy groups who work on their own music as artists and that's completely unfair. But and and I had mentioned taylor before, the people have given her crap yeah, and she's been nominated and won Grammys.

Speaker 1 17:40

And it's people oh she, you know, just because it's not your taste in music or your style in music I mean, I just gave you my opinion, there's plenty of Grammy winners I was like, eh, you know, yeah, yeah, like people are like well, they won a Grammy, I'm like well, they won a Grammy.

Speaker 2 17:56

I'm like and that means what.

Speaker 1 17:57

That doesn't determine what I like Exactly, so you know. So she's not everybody's cup of tea Exactly, but for whatever they were looking for, she fit the categories you know requirements, right, but I consider her pop, so that doesn't make her different than these groups from K-pop world. You know what I mean and, like I said, I'm not disparaging Taylor. Please nobody come after me.

Speaker 2 18:28

The Swifties are going to get after you.

Speaker 1 18:30

But everybody knows she's been given lots of crap too. Oh yeah. So, I don't know what this person's remark is he, they, she, they she whoever, whoever that person, they probably don't like taylor swift, so they just obviously have no taste of course they just go over there to troll.

Speaker 2 18:53

They just, you know, want to troll whatever.

Speaker 1 18:55

Well, yeah, exactly because you can't. If you don't know who these artists are, you can't just be like it's not about charting, Because obviously you don't know. They don't chart here in the US. They just have massive fan base and a great global reach. They're talented kids and but see, that's why I don't.

Speaker 2 19:16

I don't tend to watch.

Speaker 1 19:18

Grammys and any type of awards, shows and things like that. I told you the only reason I watched the America's Got Talent was because of Travis Japan. I'd never watched it before because I hate that. You know it's like so four people get to judge whether or not these kids are good enough, right. Or these acts are good enough, or whatever, right. Same thing with the Grammys. These are all you know.

Speaker 2 19:45

I don't even know who's on the panel who's on the board?

Speaker 1 19:48

just some 10 random people get to decide the great music. Well, it's not your taste, is not necessarily my taste, and vice versa. And I get that, but like don't you don't get to say oh, they don't count, because whatever, I think maybe we shouldn't talk about this topic, sarah's all riled up.

Speaker 2 20:10

Well, you know I mean yeah, no, I, I get you, I'm, I'm with you, I I it's. Maybe I should have not read that comment, but I mean I didn't know I was gonna get you really wrong though, geez lady.

Speaker 1 20:24

Well, it's just it's frustrating. Yeah, because, like I said, these award shows and stuff, it's already a very subjective yeah, and to get the artist in there.

Speaker 2 20:34

They're like, oh yeah, by the way, you won, you better show up yeah, exactly, if you're anything like robert smith, you're like really, why am I getting this? Remember when he got nominated, they got nominated to the no, they won, they got it. Yeah, and he's like why am I? Why are we nominated for this? Why am I here?

Speaker 1 20:56

yeah, that was his, so why am I here?

Speaker 2 21:00

he's like how do you feel about being in nothing in the rock and roll hall of fame? He's like terrible.

Speaker 1 21:07

He was like not happy he was just like what, what does?

Speaker 2 21:13

it like that doesn't matter.

Speaker 1 21:15

Yeah, I I like what I do. I have fans who like what I do. He was just like I just do music.

Speaker 2 21:21

People like it. You know I'm he's grateful that people love his music right, but he's like this isn't.

Speaker 1 21:28

This isn't what I was in music for you know I didn't come here to do like I didn't start being an artist, to get here just doing what I do.

Speaker 2 21:37

I wonder what he, what he ever did with any awards or anything that he kept them. Oh my god, oh no, we gotta find out like old there's gotta be old award shows when they receive any awards. I want to see his face and I want to hear him be like okay, so we got this all right, thank you actually speaking of them, though I think it's their 50th anniversary.

Speaker 1 22:04

Yeah, and this is their last. He's like we're gonna call it quit.

Speaker 2 22:07

Yeah, I'm like what he's retiring, he's done. He is what I know, girl. Oh, we have to go see them. We need to see them for the last time, absolutely yes, oh my God, I know Robert. Smith, I know he's like I'm old, I'm tired. I've been looking at interviews that he's done. He's like, yeah, I'm done.

Speaker 1 22:31

I know I'm done with this. You know, I think this is plenty. Yeah, I'm like really, but there's so much more, I know.

Speaker 2 22:40

See, he knows how to get you. He just knows how to get you. He's like okay, yeah, we're done. You're like no. He's like no, we're done. This is it. I'm done with this. This is it, you know I'm human too.

Speaker 1 22:55

I'm human.

Speaker 2 23:05

Stop it. You know, I'm human too. I'm human, oh god, I love him. So, speaking of tours and things going on, did you hear or saw the announcement from b first? No, oh, b first announced first world tour for 2025. Oh, yeah, yeah, oh my god. New chapter for global domination yeah, but you know what? Remember when they opened for ats? Yes, that's just like catapult them. You know what I have been seeing. Okay, so all right, let then.

Speaker 1 23:36

I'll do Well. They did their little collaboration, yeah, and it was. That was awesome.

Speaker 2 23:41

So they made their announcement on November 3rd, which is their debut date. So I mean, I was just like when is it? You know? Like I'm like I want to know when are they going to tour and whatever. So they have a clip out there. There's a teaser know, be first, world tour 2025. No dates yet. That will be announced in the upcoming months, as per mr sky high sneaky, so of course we're all like.

Speaker 2 24:12

I'm more like, oh my god, you know, be first is coming, we gotta go see me first. You know, I'm like I'm posting in in tweeting the. So when that happened I did that and I'm like, oh my god, you know, fans were like oh no, did you? Panic is typing in japanese. I am excited. This, this is amazing. But then of course we're thinking is it going to be just LA? You know, the closest they can come over here is, of course, new York.

Speaker 1 24:51

But we could do that. We could do that so we'll see, we've done it.

Speaker 2 24:55

Well, we'll see if we can get tickets, because, you know's, that's the other hurdle that's the first hurdle.

Speaker 1 25:02

Right now they're doing their dome tour in japan. Yeah, through february of next year, so then then they're going to expand to the world tour probably oh, that would be. That would be so 24 2025.

Speaker 2 25:18

So you know that's in the works. Mr sky high is probably already, you know, getting some things rolling. You know, well, he's just been, he's a busy, busy. He doesn't sleep. Girl, the man doesn't sleep. We have talked about this.

Speaker 2 25:32

He is busy everywhere yes, it's like, yeah, do I'm like, do you eat? Do you sleep? Do you you bathe? Do you do anything besides? You know music, composing lyrics, production, auditions and, oh my goodness, he's gonna be doing something with um kaito from king and prince. I was like what, so? So I'm like a couple of things. So when that happened, I'm like so you actually were able to sit down at least and talk to somebody For five minutes yeah. So that's going to be interesting. It's going to be exciting to see you know if we're able to see it.

Speaker 1 26:11

Sky High even said be first. Finally, a world tour. This is the start. We're set to make our mark in history. Yes, let's give it our all, all right. Well, everybody knows that I love Sky.

Speaker 2 26:29

Sky is awesome. Talk about awesome Well.

Speaker 1 26:32

I don't know. I guess I love a lot of people.

Speaker 2 26:34

Oh no Satoshi, oh no Satoshi. Yeah, now you feel guilty.

Speaker 1 26:42

Actually it's funny I threw that in. I've been noticing like rs, she's come up a lot again. There was remember there was a period of time where yeah it was like every episode they were mentioned yeah, like every episode. They're coming back into our mindset, so maybe yeah, you know what I played today.

Speaker 2 27:01

You know, okay, asia who got to love. Oh, oh, my god, I love this song it's a good one especially, like towards the end of this song. Baby, welcome back. I'm like I'm waiting for you. Yeah, I'm waiting for you, oh god, I'm like. I'm like in the studio dancing and crying at the same time. I'm like it's a good thing nobody's around me. I love that song.

Speaker 1 27:27

Baby, come back actually did you see the pictures of Iba golfing?

Speaker 2 27:32

in LA, he was so cute. When you come golf in New England, the poor guy, he'd be freezing.

Speaker 1 27:43

Well, there are no golfing up here, but anyone not at this time, but we have a lot of golf courses oh yeah, we also do come on come on so what I wanted to transition, we also do, come on.

Speaker 2 28:01

Come on. So what I wanted to transition for Be First, you know, opening for ATEEZ. That helped a lot to catapult the boys. Also, this is the pattern that I have seen this year Bigger K-pop artists are collaborating with japanese artists. That, or groups who are, you know, already have a fandom now, like, with that being said, jackson and number, all right, yes, very true, you know. That also catapulted the group, you know. So we'll see what's going on there. Right now I'm still waiting for that. Jackson, wong and like, number I collaboration hello yeah.

Speaker 1 28:44

That was like a one shot at coachella sky high. He's the one who's like we're gonna break. I'm making this happen. We're doing a four-day festival and it's gonna be all, just we, just-pop, j-pop mix.

Speaker 2 28:58

Just you wait. I think this one actually is happening, but they're just waiting for the right moment. Yeah, they're waiting for the right moment because it's just like, yeah, where's my collaboration with Jackson, you know? So, yeah, that was another one that I was like, wow, this, I've been seeing this pattern. Can't think of that right now, but I mean, so far, those two are just popping into my head because of that and I'm like, yeah, this is helping a lot of this.

Speaker 1 29:29

you know base japanese groups collaborating with other, you know, asian artists yeah, working together to sort of generate a little buzz around both areas. You know what I mean. Yeah, that's. No, that's cool, that's awesome.

Speaker 2 29:44

Yeah, I like that that. What we have seen, you know um k-pop artists, you know uh recording with american artists. You know we have rose, uh with whatchamacallit, bruno Mars it was another one that I forgot, but I don't know, they just didn't stick. You know, as of like the Asian artists with another popular Asian artist, they seem to like stick.

This is like show and iva announce marriage that's why that was the funniest thing ever, like the whole fandom thought the same exact thing, or I should say the western fandom. Yeah, we're always a little I would behind it because I'm sure there'd already been rumors about them, like dating women and whatnot in japan that we didn't know about, so we were of course we're all celebrating Exactly.
