What If?

Stray Kids covered Answer by ATEEZ

Again, I won't be using my characters' names in this, I'll be speaking about ATEEZ/SKZ in terms of their real-life names just to keep things simple.

First I'm gonna break down the members and their roles in each group. Note, all these beautiful men are impeccable dancers so I'm just gonna note down their verbal roles. I'm not paying attention to who's a "visual" either because they're all gorgeous, let's be real.

Line Distribution

We'll start out with the leader of Stray Kids, and work our way down the age line from there. ATEEZ only has two/three? significant rap parts (counting the HongMin bridge) in Answer and they belong to Hongjoong and Mingi. The rest of the song is mostly singing.

BangChan → Hongjoong
Even though BangChan doesn't typically rap in the Stray Kids songs, I think he would be best suited for Hongjoong's lines. He has the right vibe for Hongjoong's lines in this song.

Leeknow → Yeosang
This was kind of a hard decision and I originally thought Yeosang's part would be best suited to Felix but I think Minho would be best for Yeosang's part in this song, because Minho is the main dancer of his group and he has a softer voice that would work well for Yeosang's lines.

Changbin → Mingi
I'm literally the most indecisive person on the face of the planet but after some long consideration and research, I decided to relegate Changbin to Mingi's lines since Changbin and Mingi are both rappers in their respective groups.

Hyunjin → Seonghwa
Hyunjin is mostly a rapper in Stray Kids but he's done excellent work as a vocalist too and it's for this reason I'm giving him Seonghwa's parts in Answer. Plus there's a few 'visual things' Seonghwa does in the choreo that I think Hyunjin would look best doing. #TeamVisual

Han → Jongho
Han Jisung is basically the 'golden ace' of Kpop. He's an all-rounder and while people universally accept him as one of the "main rappers" of Stray Kids, his vocal range allows him the potential to take spot next to Seungmin as a 'main vocalist' and I think Han can take on the power of Jongho's vocals.

Felix → Yunho
After seeing Felix's falsetto in Taste (off SKZ's new album), I know without a doubt Lix can pull off Yunho's lines. These are some of Yunho's lines in Answer. I know Felix can do it.

Seungmin → San
While San isn't the main vocalist of ATEEZ by any means, he's still a powerful vocalist in his own right and I think Seungmin's voice would lend well to San's lines, plus I think Seungmin has a similar texture to San's when he sings.

I.N. → Wooyoung
Like I said before, I.N. and Wooyoung's voices are perfectly matched for each other's parts. I.N. would sound amazing covering Wooyoung's lines.
