I get that. But when it comes to songs that are generic, I think it makes a difference for a lot of people, and especially for Japanese people, when they have to watch a performance with nothing else happening, and an orchestral arrangement.
And actually, it's funny you say that. I always saw Dearest the other way around lol Nice melody, generic arrangement lol
I feel like that about a lot of her ballads though. Like No Way to Say. Or Days (even though I hate that melody, it's at least interesting).
As for Party Queen...I didn't mind the concept. I just don't think that sort of thing is relateable for most people. Like, the vast majority of people who don't know what it's like to be different and placed above others. If you've never felt that, how can you know? lol

It would be different if they were saying this shit in like every other song, or if they acted like Mariah Carey all over the place....but they don't. I think it's also a very..."western" thing, to do that. In Kpop, they're always doing crap like that, saying they're on top, or saying their names. To me, it's less about how they feel, and more just, another thing to throw in the song because it seems *cool* to their culture.
She's just being trendy.
