CHALLENGE: DAY 5: SS501

CHALLENGE
DAY 5
Group: SS501

FAVORITE : SONG

I'm just going to say thank god I'm doing this challenge. I knew about SS501, but hadn't had the chance to listen to some of their songs (in reality I had only listened to like 3). I fell in love with Deja Vu, Because I'm Stupid and Ur Man, although I still have to hear a lot more from these boys. My favorite song until know is "Deja Vu" !!!

FAVORITE: MV

I found that I enjoy all of their MV's, but for today I'm posting "A Song Calling For You." This MV makes me smile every single time !!! I love this song and the members crazy antics ^^

FAVORITE: LIVE

Everything in this performance is so beutifull, from the violins to the music to the set to the boys ^^ I found this performance sexier as it progressed LOL Like from 4:28 on ... specially with Jung Min and Kyu Jong getting all touchy feely. I'm actually impressed with Triple S's and their fanchants, in some performances they drown the boys out.

My Conclusion: They boy's of SS501 make good music alone but together its incomparable. 


If anyone wants to leave suggestions for more SS501 songs or MV's, even variety shows, please do !!! Thanks !!!! 

CHALLENGE: DAY 4: 4minute

CHALLENGE
DAY 4
Group: 4minute

FAVORITE : SONG

This song is great, because it just makes you want to dance. I play this song when I wan't to move LOL Seriously !!!

FAVORITE: MV

Let's be honest here, most of 4minute's MV's look cheap. Although the choreography and songs are great the tackiness of the MV's just annoys me. Let's blame Cube. Therefore, I'm choosing the MV for "I My Me Mine", becouse I love the coreography and it's not as bad as the rest.

FAVORITE: LIVE

Hot Issue is Iconic, and this performance is very powerful. Check it out.

CHALLENGE: DAY 3: FT Island

CHALLENGE
DAY 3
Group: FT Island

FAVORITE : SONG

I have a soft spot for this song and MV, because it was my introduction to k-pop. This track will always remain one of my favorites.

FAVORITE: MV

I love FT Islands new MV becouse we get to see a lot more of the members, and the scenes are very beutiful. I was tempted to say HELLO HELLO because I love Jajejin's scene when he raps on the firetruck, but i resisted.

FAVORITE: LIVE

I love this song to death, and I did not use it for favorite song becouse I've laready mentioned this in a previus post some time ago. Anyway I will use it as favorite live performance becouse I love how Hongki goes drunkard on everyone, he's an awesome performer. I also love how Seunghyun and Jong Hun just keep on sinsging and playing like nothing happened. All of these boys are so handsome.

CHALLENGE: DAY 2: Miss A

CHALLENGE
DAY 2
Group: Miss A

FAVORITE : SONG

This song is from their new album and it's called "One to Ten", This is one of my favorite songs, for the feeling it conveys. Some other song I like are, Love Alone and Love Again. Credit for subs and vid. goes to henrylam2 @ YT

FAVORITE: MV

This MV is their latest MV, and is very nicely shot and edited, showing the girl's dance moves perfectly. The story line also fits the song and conveys power.

FAVORITE: LIVE

This Live performance for MAMA 2010 was great, since they changed it up a little when performing their hit Bad Girl Good Girl, also, the second song BREATH was sang in Mandarin for the first time.

Note: Netizens after blood...

After Tablo's return to the music scene, I was curious as to the mention of a scandal that had caused him to leave Epik High, and had shattered his career. I was expecting anything from Korean Netizens, because they are people who have nothing better to do than hide behind their computers and destroy those who decide to take on the world. The only thing I was not expecting to find was this irrationality, and the destruction of Tablo and his family because of a dumb witch hunt.

I've always had it present in my mind, that a single word from the crowd can ruin you. A single lie made, or a single mistake can scar your life forever. These people jumped the bandwagon, and went as far as to threaten to kill  him and his family. Just because of one single reason, they did not believe he had graduated from Stanford with both a Masters and Bachelors in English in just 3 and a half years, even though officials had confirmed it.

For those of you who would like to read an insightful article that relates what happened to Tablo, go here. You will find an article that was posted on the Stanford Magazine. If you do not want to feel upset don't go there, because this writer tells it as it is.

I personally wish everyone could read this in order to become conscious of how hating someone you don't know, jumping  a bandwagon, and using anonymity to say something we would never say in public, can cause so much damage.This is not just about Tablo, or other stars, but about kids and adults who get bullied everyday.

We should become conscious of our actions, and take a stand. There is so much hate and destruction in the world, why add to it?

CHALLENGE: DAY 1: Infinite

CHALLENGE
DAY 1
Group: INFINITE

FAVORITE : SONG

This was a hard one for me since I LOVE many of Infinite's songs, if not all. This song was chosen because it's one of my favorites and is competing for the top spot, below you can find links to my other three favorite Infinite songs.  Credit for subs goes to CHRiSTiNAxBREAD @ YT I am going to take the liberty of recommending a couple more songs, which are also my favorite, to those who might be interested in Infinite. 1. Tic Toc 2. Hysterie 3. Shot

FAVORITE: MV

I love most of Infinites MV's but Nothing's Over is so interesting and original, that it takes the win. I specially enjoyed the tumbling toilet paper XD

FAVORITE: LIVE

I was not in love with this song because I found the MV rather boring, since it was missing the trademark Infinite moves, but all that changed once I saw the live version. Let me just say Wow! that's some epic hip trusting.

CHALLENGE: Favorite MV,LIVE & SONG

I've been noticing that I've been focusing on only some certain groups when writing in this blog. This is strange coming form a person that has like 100 different k-pop artist on her i-pod. So in order to expand the readers horizons and my own i'm taking on a challenge. I'm still updating on the usual suspects, aka SHINee, SuJu, and TVXQ, because they equal LOVE.

The credit for the following challenge is not clear but you can find it here. I am taking the liberty of modifying it so it is a little different than the original.

Best Kpop Dance Covers

So I know it's been a long time since i blogged, and I apologize. These college applications take so long and it's stressing! But enough of my complaints XD let's get on with the post shall we?

I was on Youtube looking up tutorials for Kpop dances and I stumbled upon some covers that are phenomenal! Here are some of the few which had me jumping in my seat like a fangirl.

If you guys have seen any covers around, put down in the comments! Videos like these really need to be seen and appreciated!

Seungri's VVIP:

Holy cow did these girls steal the show! Dancing Seungri's song with heels is a feat worth of praise :D

TEEN TOP's Supa Luv

These girls are just awesome. Their synchronization was just perfect!

SHINee's Lucifer

You have to love these guys for being able to dance this almost with perfection. Additional points for the Taemin look-a-like!

DBSK's Mirotic

Ohhhhh the classic Mirotic... could not be forgotten, especially since these boys are practically a mini DBSK! They have the moves, the looks, the charm, and even the fangirls!

SHINee - Hit Me ....

I found this while lurking on YT along whit the song posted in the post below, and I just wanted to redeem SHINee LOL

The song is called Hit Me, and it talks about a relationship between two people, when one has hurt the other but is trying to redeem himself. He is saying that he prefers to be hit than far away from the girl.

I found the lyrics very meaningful, and this song is a much loved oldy from SHINee's younger days ^^

The following video is beautiful and all credit goes to CottonCandrea @ YT who mentions that it took her one and a half years to complete. ENJOY.
 

SHINee - GET IT GET IT ....

I liked this song but had never payed attention to the lyrics, today I happened to read them on YT and surprise, surprise...

I'll just say one more thing : How did this song not get banned !?!?!? Not that I'm complaining.

P.S. Key and Minho wrote some of the lyrics...
P.S.1. Have some fun and check out Shawols on perv mode commenting on this video LOL

Cassie's & ELF's are BFF's ?

So I was watching TVXQ's epic MV, MIROTIC, for the billionth time when I ran into the following comment, and the responses it received. let me just say that it was hilarious.

THE PROBLEMATIC COMMENT

THE EPIC RESPONSES

I guess that was the biggest mistake that SONE could have made, she pitted ELF's against Cassie's, and that's something that just doesn't work. I guess she could have gotten some sympathy from Cassies if she hadn't mentioned SuJu or spelled Yoochun's and Yunho's, names wrong -_-

Anyway Like a fellow blogger said in one of her post's, SuJu and TVXQ have a similar history, maybe that's why ELF's and Cassies stick together...

Anyway I found this funny ... but I find MIROTIC much more interesting ^^
Maybe this was just an excuse to put Mirotic on the blog ... jk jk

SNSD "The Boys" Comeback (PART 2: The Music Video)

Credit for Screen Caps: Red and Rosy

Although, like I mentioned previously, I am not a fan of THE BOYS, I have to say the MV was very nice. The beginning scenes with the slow motion and the formal dresses, as well as the flying dove, where beautiful. Also the actual dance and outfits for the song where fierce and sexy.

Of course, like always, some members shown more than the rest, and I don't know if it's because Seohyun is my favorite member, but I think her talents where showcased in this MV perfectly. She belted out some great notes, although Taeyeon was not left behind at the 3:15 minute mark. Those two where the ones that allowed me partly enjoy the song.

For all those fellow Seo lovers here are Seohyuns cut's in the MV enjoy. I could listen to this on replay ^^

RANDOM: But Seo's outfit reminds me so much of TVXQ's Keep Your Head Down suits ...

Check out the full MV below... What did you guys think? Sorry for the SEOHYUN Overload :P

SNSD "The Boys" Comeback (PART 1: The Album)

I might be a little late to address this comeback but I decided to wait to listen to the whole album before voicing my opinion.

Anyway, let's talk SNSD.

First of all THE BOYS was not that good of a song to be a tittle song. There are other songs on the album that I did love. Although I have to mention that I like THE BOYS in Korean, because it has a nicer flow, than its English counterpart. What really kills THE BOYS is actually the awkward placement and sound of the chorus. SNSD songs are iconic for the catchy choruses, but this was not befitting to continue the legacy of Gee, and Genie.

I would have preferred another track from the album to be the tittle song. I think OSCAR, which reminds me so much of TVXQ's  Mirotic at the beginning because the of the sexy beat and of BoA's Eat you Up, would have done better. The chorus is also pretty catchy. maybe it's to similar to the above mentioned?

Another song that I would have loved to see performed is TOP SECRET, because it seems like It could befit a very good concept. Furthermore it is really likable, although it might not be catchy in off to make a hit.



I also found SAY YES a very cute song, if not title track material. It has an old fashion chic flick sound track feel (or something like that?) ^^ Same goes for LAZY GIRL.





HOW GREAT IS YOUR LOVE is also a very good ballad that people should listen too.



Overall I think the album is good, what do you guys think ?

So SM wants to lock up M2

Recently Lee So Man the founder of SM Entertainment talked about the format of their two new boy bands, M1 and M2, that will debut later this year.

I had been at least a little excited for this debut, but then I found out that one of the groups will promote only in China, while the other group promotes the same song only in Korea.

I find this another waste of talent because the group that gets to promote in China will be underexposed, and probably locked up in the SM dungeon alongside Zhou Mi, Henry and Zhang Liyin -_-
but maybe just maybe it will turn out differently ?>?>?>

I think I should wait for more info, hopefully I understood wrong -_- probably not...
What do you guys think ????????????????????????????

Giving WGM with Leeteuk a chance

When I first heard a Super Junior member was to be on WGM, I was sure it would be Leeteuk, but I was hopping to be proven wrong. I guess I am a little overwhelmed to see Leeteuk everywhere, and was hoping to see more of another member.

Today, I finally decided to give the show a chance and am now excited for the episodes to come, because of the special appearance of four Super Junior members in the first two episodes. This makes me hopeful for more appearances later on in the show ^^ Also Kang Sora, the wife, seems like a cool person, so I might as well give the couple a chance.

Look out for the Eng. subs of the first two episode to see Eunhyuk, Donghae, Kyuhyun, and Sungmin,who hilariously bully the newly wed couple ^^ Since Copyright things remove videos -_-

Girl's Generation "The Boys" MV Teaser

30 sec. Audio- credit for translation- oumae27 @ YT

About the English version of the teaser, and song clip:::::

I have just been asking myself this about the English teaser:
"Why (if this song was written by someone who is american, and written in English) does the chorus sound so awkward?"

In the 30 sec preview, as a native English speaker I'm a little confused as to what the girls are actually saying, because of their accents. I guess the lyrics aren't bad once you read them.

About the accents I am looking foreword to Jessica, Tiffany, and even the perfect maknae Seohyun, to make the song justice. It's not that the others have bad voices, since the first to sing in the teaser is Taeyeon the main vocal, but the song just sounds a tad bit weird. Yoona also sounds good.

If the disk is sold in a store near me I will probably buy it because they are SNSD after all, but I'm still not sure if I will like it, let's see whats to come ^^ Let's hope for the best.

About the Korean version of the teaser:::::

I really liked the dance and the song, because it reminds me of a mix between Super Junior, f(x), and the old SNSD. Those girls that could kick ass with their dancing in "Into the New World" and "Girl's Generation."

The lyrics, although I'm not sure as to their meaning, sound very smooth in Korean, Thank God.

I'm actually excited for their Korean Comeback!!! YAY !!!

HERE IS A BLAST FROM THE PAST WHILE WAITING FOR THE COMEBACK !!!

SNSD- "Into the New World"

Super Junior-M : Me and U

I was watching some YT videos and came across the following MV's by Super Junior -M. 
I was suprised when I realized that I had never seen them -_-  
I have posted the MV's below to share with everyone, and get a blast from the old SuJu-M  More Henry and Zhou Mi to grace the world^^, and more eye candy: Hangen, Siwon, Kyu, Ryeowook, and Donghae :P Let's not forget the new members Hyukjae and Sungmin <3.
Me- This song just makes me feel so happy ^^

Blue Tommorow- This song reminds me of SM the Ballad, hot times MV *_* I like it.



These Following I have seen but it doesn't hurt to watch them again ^^

TVXQ: Biased Ears ???

To the Cassies out there, I need help with a dilemma.

I really LOVE TVXQ's new Japanese Album, but I'm having trouble distinguishing the voices of Yunho and Changmin. I hear Yunho sometimes, but most of the time I only hear Changmin, probably because every single song has a very beautiful albeit distracting long note by the evil maknae. It might also be that I'm biased toward Changmin <3

Is Changmin Getting all the choruses?

Anyway I really want to find Yunho's voice, does anybody have a pointer as to how to distinguish it? I wasn't having a problem distinguishing them during their Korean promotions ...

In order not to waste a post I'm adding some of my favorite songs from the Album "Tone" below!!! Check them out if you haven't !!!

Weep

 

Thank You My Girl  

Duet                     

Easy Mind  

I Think You Know

WOW... WHOEVER TVXQ IS SIGNED WITH IN JAPAN IS SO ANNOYING, MOST OF THEIR SONGS CAN'T BE FOUND ON YT AS FULL VERSIONS!!!

Super Junior Super Funny: Oops!

I finally gave myself the time to listen and read the lyrics for Super Junior's and F(x)'s collaboration "Oops !", and I had to share it with all our readers !!!

The lyrics of this song are so ridiculous and make me lough non stop!!! Specially the final rap by Heechul where he talks about clingy girls and glamorous girls, and Shindong goes "Hyung but You're really not Joking!" For all of those who are familiar with SuJu you will find allusions to Siwon, Donghae, Heechul's military duty, and Eunhyuks relation to monkeys, ^^ Let's not forget their constant mention of Pinochio and Mr.Simple  !!!

Below I have included the original version with subs, as well as a live version with SNSD's Tiffany, the lyrics are a little different and Heechul's rap is gone.

Tiffany also alludes to SNSD's new tittle track "The Boys" at the beginning !!!

Boyfriend Maknaes Dance Video

Sorry for the Boyfriend overload these days, but they have gained my love ^^

Here is a dance video the boys filmed for their pre-debut show M!Pick. They where challenged to show their talents trough a video by the members of SISTAR, and this was what the maknaes (Minwoo, Kwangmin and Youngmin) did. Although they are all good, Minwoo has that extra factor when dancing. I can't look away !!!

Below is another dance video of Minwoo, he is so smooth !!!

Coffee Prince Parody - BOYFRIEND ^^

I found this video which made me lough and cringe constantly, so I wanted to share it with everyone 

to brighten your days a little ^^

Boyfriend's Parody of Coffee Prince ... I'm loving these kids more and more...

Jun-K is Hot ...

We all know JUNSU of 2PM is Hot, but his solo debut is warming up the scene. Using nickname Jun-K, he has captivated fans everywhere. The teaser shows his charismatic voice and stare, accompanied by a  promising sound. Check out the teaser below, and become entranced ^^

PERSONALLY I"M LOVING IT !!! JUNSU YOU CAN KILL THIS !!!

Boyfriend is Back Better than Ever Before

Wow. Thank god I didn't give up of Boyfriend. ^^

Boyfriend has released there MV for "Don't Touch My Girl", and I have to say that although there is room for improvement, it was impressive. The song is very catchy and the choreography fits perfectly with the music. The outfits where also really nice but a little confusing. I was reminded of SHINee (Juliett era) , and Infinite (No Other period), because of the colorful skinny jeans at he beginning.

Anyway let's keep expecting great things from Boyfriend... Check out the MV below! Boyfriend Fighting !!!

SHINee's Manager = Disgusting

I saw this video on a 6theory forum and was like WTF !!! @ :38 second mark

SHINee's manager was filmed hitting a girl ... AGAIN. I find this quite stupid, why would SM keep a guy that acts so rashly, he will just make SHINee look bad. Too bad SHINee doesn't have a choice on whether to keep him or not. You can't just go trough life hitting people ... this guy is crazy. I know that the first time he did it was supposedly because the girl was touching one of the members but that's still no reason to hit her. In this video we can see him hit a girl who is apparently just ogling the boys, she's not even in fan girl mode. She should sue him out of his house ... Off with his head !!!

So as the highest rated comment for this video on YT said ..

Ugggh, I hate guys that hit women they are so disgusting. His mom must be proud.

Anyway, to end it lightly, girl's if you meet SHINee beware, don't ask for an autograph you might get a slap instead ... or just check that one of there other two managers is present and not this thing.
