I want to see ‘Aespa’ here showing their talent because they are representative of the 4th generation of idols and are the first ‘metaverse’ idols, they are idols who show how technology is getting more sophisticated so that they can produce something extraordinary

ReplyThe Mavis Staples and Mahalia Jackson moment was my absolute favorite part of the film. Pure magic. And Nina Simone was a true inspiration. She was a goddess of black liberation and power.
