Forte di Quattro Holds First Place—For Now
As July wraps up, the fan-voted Netizen Awards are heating up, especially in the highly contested Best Group category. Leading the pack is vocal crossover group Forte di Quattro, snagging an impressive 20,734 votes—that’s 48.2% of the current tally.
At 10:32 p.m. on July 27, this quartet was holding a respectable lead over rival group Libellante, sitting in second place with 12,213 votes (28.4%). With around 8,500 votes separating the two, the chase is on—and anything can happen as last-minute fan voting tends to surge at the buzzer.
Crossover Genre Wins Big
The top five groups in the race share more than popularity—they also specialize in classical crossover music. Following Libellante, Forteña takes third place (3,225 votes), with La Poem (1,979 votes) and Forestella (1,938 votes) closely behind.
It’s a clear sign that the genre, a rich blend of classical vocals mixed with pop, rock, or folk influences, has struck a chord with listeners—and clearly, with voters.
Where Are the K-pop Titans?
While K-pop giants like BTS (357 votes), N.Flying (295), and SF9 (249) made the rankings, they’ve taken a backseat to their crossover counterparts this round. Other pop and indie names like Jannabi (916) and Plave (398) also landed further down the list.
This voting pattern highlights a refreshing shift in fan interest—less about glitzy stage performances, and more about rich, classically trained vocals and emotive storytelling.
Final Stretch Could Flip the Board
As the polls enter their final phase, it’s anyone’s game. The question now: how fiercely will fans rally for their faves? With both Forte di Quattro and Libellante owning passionate fandoms, the final hours could see a dramatic comeback—or a runaway win.
Either way, this month’s Netizen Awards are proving one thing loud and clear: the crossover wave isn’t just a trend; it’s a movement.
