SNSD The Boys reaction

Please view the video on YouTube, although I'm pretty sure you already had. :D

I hate looking at teaser because I always got the wrong guess, especially SM teaser but looking at the gorgeous promo pictures, I had to peek..LOVE THE FREAKING DRESSES! When the full MV was released, I watched the English version first since I kinda like BoA's Eat You Up in English.. it can't be that bad right?

Bad mistake.It was so awkward to listen it in English. That includes Jessica and Tiffany. SeoHyun lines is sooooo corny. "I know live is a mystery, I'm gonna make it history.." LOL. It rhymes but ugh. I can't grasp what they were singing but I guess it's just awkward for me. I understand Engrish, but I think I need to see the lyrics.

Teddy Riley produced it and it definitely sounds like it. I can imagine RaNia singing the song and it's a bit cruel, but RaNia can't make this No.1 like SNSD does. It's not about the fanbase, SNSD can afford to do it better. What I don't like about this song, it lacks that Kpop flavor. Maybe it's the language?

So I watched the Korean version, have to say I like it better. The girls sound noticeably comfortable and I don't find it awkward during the rap part too. The MV is the same, just different language. The sets are gorgeous too! I love the rose petals set and the sand..

Sunny looked amazing, if I ever will cut my hair, I want to look like her. I'm upset SooYoung returns to long hair but she still looked amazing. All the girls looked phenomenal. Yuri dance break was drool-worthy. The way she dance on the sand is just stunning. Glamorous should be the IT look for girl groups. I know it's hard to sing and dance it a dress but I am crossing my fingers that the girls will perform with those stunning dress. PLEASE? :P

Step by Kara




To be honest I wasn't looking forward for Kara's comeback. One, because Super Junior was scheduled for a comeback too and while I do love the girls personality, it doesn't translate the same with their music. I did have fun on their previous songs but I don't know if I can expect the same thing.

The first time listening, I stopped half way because it was too colorful and the song was similar to what they had promoted before. There is the return of the "shriek"... probably it's Kara signature but it's only fun for one time.

Just like all their previous song, this song eventually grows in me and why not? It incorporated the catchy beats and infectious hook which is the perfect formula of Kpop. Their vocals are still lacking in some areas but this isn't a ballad song and I don't care much. It's a fun song that brights up your day.

These girls had troubles in the past but it seems like their friendship is still on, I hope they don't attempt to the same anytime soon because it's not going to work. I would like to see growth from JiYoung, all the other magnaes are improving each day and it seem like Jiyoung hasn't changed much. The company should considered making a sub-unit, that would be interesting.

I'm hating Infinite Paradise


Since Infinite is getting famous each day, I think I need to put a disclaimer before proceeding. I am not anti-fan, it's just a stupid review okay? Inspirit Fighting!

With Paradise, there's 4 songs promoted by Infinite this year! Wow. Typically idols only promote two song in one year and seldom 3.. I guess probably other idols had done the same but maybe I wasn't really paying attention. 

Before the Dawn was awesome, their choreography was mind-blowing, except I was a little too late in noticing it's awesomeness. That time, I was paying more attention to Dalmatian. Nothing's Over finally got me hook to them, I knew all their names and know what roles they had.

Be mine was okay, it wasn't an instant love because I can't never get pass thinking.. "SungJong is a dude." I find it hard to convince myself that he can sing seriously and laugh at his expression. The song finally got them their first No.1 on charts. I was happy for them.

On the scale of 1-10, I would rate Paradise as 4..so there's no way I could put the title as "I'm loving" right? I thought they promoted the song too early, but I guess the company wants ride on their previous win. The song has this familiarity but I don't know where I get that from. It sounds like a cool song for mystery genre movie but that's about it.

The feel of the song is pretty confusing. I have not check the translation yet but the title is "Paradise" and the song has this dark vibe, almost haunting like and mysterious. I'm not even sure if the lyricist understand the meaning of Paradise. When I think of paradise, the image of beach comes to mind. The MV isn't helping either. I think Infinite boys are ghost following the poor girl everywhere in the house?? It's a cross of a creepy stalker or a haunted ghost. I think this fascination of this topics should stop by now.. I'm sick of it already.

What probably puts me off the most about the song is the chorus. I don't get the high-pitched voices... it's just hard to sing and not suited for the song. Is it's supposed to be haunting voice or what? However I do like SungKyu's part.. I thought it was clever to have the bits of pause in his line..I think it resembles gasping for air..WooHyun sounded really good too!

The music on this song is awesome too, the mix of orchestra and electrical guitar blends well together. I just don't think it suited well with the lyrics. Lastly, congratulation to Infinite for winning on the recent Inkigayo for this song. I think they deserved it..(although I secretly wished SuJu win.)

I Believe in GD

 2011 isn't over yet but it felt like a lot of years has gone by. There's so many jaw-dropping moments and I'm so glad I receive all the news at home because I looked stupid. :P

The latest one is about GD caught smoking marijuana. I don't know the details but I believe it's purely an accidental mistake. I am aware that GD does smoke but smoking marijuana? It's unbelievable. Looking at Crown J's case, smoking marijuana is a serious crime that can affect your career as an artiste. There's no way GD would have voluntarily smoke marijuana.

Big Bang was one of my first favorite idols back when I first started obsessing Kpop. I'm so sad that we had waited so long for their comeback, only to see two bad incident happen. DBSK is no longer 5, Super Junior isn't 13... would the same happen to Big Bang? I think it's just to sad to think about it. Big Bang was my only hope that my favorite idols CAN  be together.

I want to believe Big Bang will be forever. Please, there's too much heartbreak for me and this is the last chance. My favorite variety show had disappoint me, 2 of my favorite idols group is in rocking situation.. so please KPop, don't loose me as your fan. I'm an awesome fan.

Koreamie~!
