People do tew much on Itzy.
They simply started out way too strong right out the gate.
A million groups would kill for a debut like DALLA DALLA.
That being said, GOLD should’ve been in the rate too because it‘s honestly one of the most bonkers songs of the year! Absolutely demented.
Untouchable is a cute normie serve à la Cheshire.

There's just not way y'all actually think Untouchable is worse than Super Lady (a travesty from the first note), No More (what the fuck is she still doing here), or Wife (which I also gave a 10 to but I thought it would have been out ages ago.)
she/her
Yeah, I have no good will towards Cheshire. Diabolical, indeed.
Love them down, but I’m surprised we made it this far without an aespa elimination…

After thirty five eliminations, it's now time to cut our first IVE song. Say goodbye to their collaboration with David Guetta, Supernova Love.
Supernova Love is IVE's second official English single after the Saweetie-featuring All Night. It was written by David Guetta, jayover, Toby Green, Johannes Shore, Mike Hawkins, Daniel Kim, PollyAnna, Ryuichi Sakamoto and Cameron Warren and produced by David Guetta, jayover, Toby Green, Johannes Shore, Mike Hawkins, PollyAnna and GODBOY. Supernova Love samples the 1983 instrumental single Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence by Japanese composer and legend Ryuichi Sakamoto. It peaked at number 142 on the Circle Digital Chart which is, umm, not very good at least for IVE's crazy standards. It did better internationally especially in the European markets. This was apparently a number 1 hit in Latvia? Latvian Dives, make some fucking noise!
Supernova Love... is a weird song for me. I don't mean that it sounds weird; it just doesn't sound like an IVE song to me. Especially when you compare it to the Korean singles released by IVE in 2024. I have come to the conclusion that Starship Entertainment doesn't really know how to market IVE internationally. Both Supernova Love and All Night are not the type of songs that best showcase what IVE has to offer, in my opinion.
With that said, I still really like Supernova Love. Yes, it sounds dated as hell. And yes, the sample definitely does the heavy lifting. But I can't deny that I feel very ~celestial angel traveling through space in my neon pink and silver spacesuit~ whenever that chorus comes on. It is such a vibe. No wonder NASA was stanning!
I don't think Supernova Love is touching IVE's immaculate Korean releases but it's honestly better than I've ever anticipated... especially with the involvement of Mr. David Guetta, a name I haven't heard in maybe a decade. After Icona Pop and David Guetta, I'm gonna need IVE to resuscitate Zedd's flop ass next! Give us your Clarity or Breaking Free next, kweenies!

THE JURY'S THOUGHTS:
@mika (0): "Strictly no david guetta policy" [Slicey: HELPPPPPPPPP!!!]
@askew (1): "Oh the jnetz are maaad. I don't have a horse in the race, but this really is pig slop in a trough that even the pigs would refuse to eat so I'mma just scoot on over and let them whack it." [Slicey: This comment......... even as an IVE enjoyer, I can't be mad at this KASHGFKJSGF!!]
@YRSHKD (2.5): "This is a big ass disgrace for both IVE and their fans."
@savilizabeths (5): "David Guetta??? What in the 2010s???"
@boom bazooka joe (6.5): "I don't love this song by any means, but thank you David Guetta for giving them something that I can tolerate. Sample does the heavy lifting." [Slicey: Of all the excellent IVE songs that have come out recently... you decide you like this one the best? Stream Flu or I'll send you ass to jail, unnie!]
@clowezra (6.5): "Can’t for the life of me decide how I feel about this song, the Sakomoto sample is so iconic and yet so tackily used here and yet you can’t really go wrong with it?"
@Crisp X (7): "This is what David should've played over his tribute on that one lockdown livestream"
@Vixen (7.5): "Putting this right after aespa's supernova feels…mean dddd. It's not bad, but it's a bit… dated innit? Also the vocals seem a bit low in the mix, I feel like? The girls also look like they had already clocked out when they filmed the MV? They look like they coudn't be bothered with this, and it feels like the sentiment is taken through the entire project, if that makes sense? Still a solid 7 or so, though." [Slicey: The vocal production (?) is horrendous, true, FFFFFF but again, it really works in my space angel fantasy, kii!!]
@ThisIsRogue (8): "I'm sorry Ryuichi Sakamoto, but Utada invented classical music and therefore owns this melody."
@ysev (8): "Baby this is camp. The perfect companion to their Icona Pop cover from last year. There's something so deliciously unhinged about their English songs that it slightly veers into SNL skit territory." [Slicey: SNL SKIT SDHFHDSGFHSDFG JAIL!!]
@thommyh (8.25): "I just know Kylie Minogue was feening to get her paws on this."
@Joli Chat (8.75): "the better Supernova in this rate, no shade." [Slicey: Oop, the Supernova haters are starting to show their faces, hihi]
@Sprockrooster (9): "I can't stand that I can't figure out what this sample is during the chorus but I know our lovely host will mention it in the writeup and therefore giving me peace whilst bopping!" [Slicey: You're welcome, bestie. Hehe~]
@love choerry motion (9.5): "They phoned it in lowkey but still obsessed a bit"
@roblognick (10): "Euphoric. Bloody love this."
@Salami (10): "I had this on repeat when it came out. Strange song but something about it just gets in my head."
@soratami (10): "This was my #1 supersave pick, so I’m very thankful to whoever went for it (@Phonetics Girl, I’m guessing). I know this is going to be done wrong just for the David Guetta association, but it’s up there with IVE’s best singles for me, a perfect euphoric pop confection." [Slicey: It is a @Phonetics Girl submission indeed!!]
@Phonetics Girl (10): "I have to admit, I haven't heard Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. Yet, the melody sounded familiar and I was breaking my brain trying to remember where I knew it from. Whosampled was consulted and, as it turns out, the same sample was used in one of the leaked Alexandra Burke demos I would get my life to in like 2013 FFFF. It was between this and Dopamine for my SuperBloom but I guess the sample was undeniable and the song being early 2010s-coded made me feel a decade younger, IDK. Never claimed not to be basic!" [Slicey: This comment..... I will consider this Alexandra Burke sunbaenim's KSOTY debut!!]

Didn't expect this to go far but there really is some utter garbage left in the rate that could've left first...
he/they
IVE wouldn't do such a mess like that without Guetta though.
But the thing is Supernova Love doesn't even sound that far removed from After Like or Love Dive. It's hardly new territory for IVE.
Can you say LEGENDARIC!!!
I should have given it a 10!
Also I send in Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence in the PJRetro contest and won with it. The only time I think an instrumental won.
he/him
I want to cover the first vocal version of it. Don't ask me when or how, though.
he/him
Looks like it's Ryuichi Sakamoto stanning hour.
Plus so many others.
You're telling me about 'Ballet...' Mwah!
