One of my favourite songs from last year was 2PM’s Heartbreaker (listen to my heart beat, it’s beating for you!). They’re back with a song that sounds very Timabland-esque if you ask me. I’m not sure if I like it more than their last song but I quite like it. The song has minimal production, but that obviously means it’s been produced to within an inch of its life. Actually, it’s not Timbaland, it reminds me exactly of Black Eyed Peas – Boom Boom Pow :O The backing track is so similar!

BEAST – Mystery @ Inkigayo
11 JanI’ve never heard this song until today, I quite like it! It’s catchy and very poppy. *bounces along* mystery mystery mystery mystery! I’m so lame sometimes… I think it’s because I’ve barely been out the past week or so, been too ill ;_; Anyways, check out the performance below. They remind me a little of Verbal from m-flo.
After School – Because of You @ Inkigayo
11 JanYou know, I’ve never really noticed it before but I think After School are a lot like 2PM. At least in this performance, they totally remind me of 2PM’s Heartbreaker live stages. I think this might be my favourite performance of Because of You to date.
T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep @ Inkigayo
11 JanT-ara have been winning awards left, right and centre, and I’m beyond happy for them! I’m overjoyed that their hard work is finally paying off. These girls are so talented and they don’t necessarily have the slick production values of other girlbands so I’m really excited they’re finally getting the recognition they deserve! Also, they’re going to promote Like The First Time next week! I <3 Like The First Time~!
HyunA – Change @ Inkigayo
11 JanSorry for not updating my blog more frequently recently, I’ve been really unwell. But I’m finally feeling better and not spending all day in bed so I’m back~! I’ve missed out on a lot though :( Anyways! Let’s get back into things with HyunA! 4Minute are not my favourite band but I like them for the electro-disco inspired music that has something a little more unique than most other groups in the K-pop industry at the moment.
HyunA is breaking out solo with her first single, Change. It’s pretty cool, exactly what I would expect from a 4Minute member, the dance is pretty awesome and funny though~
Faye Wong (王菲) – Yi-lan Cao (幽兰操) (Confucius Movie Theme Song (孔子))
6 JanAre you excited?! Faye Wong is back! Yaaaaaaaaaaay! /overjoyed! Faye Wong is awesome! I think she is an amazing singer and artist. She’s definitely one of the most creative and original singers in China/Asia/Everywhere. I’m absolutely ecstatic that she’s back. She’s back singing Chow Yun Fat’s new film, Confucius. It tells the story of everyone’s favourite philospher, and Faye Wong just recorded the theme song for it days ago! Check it out below! I think it’s beautiful. It’s been 5 long years since she released Jiang Ai (To Love), but now those 5 years are over and we can all celebrate. I <3 Faye.
T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep Traditional Remix @ Music Bank / Win!
2 JanT-ara won the first Music Bank award of 2010! I think their win is rather auspicious, their first win on the first day of the first month of the first year of a new decade ^_^ I think it could possibly only be more auspicious if it was the millenium. I still can’t quite believe we were born during a millen you know? Only so many people get to see a new millenium, it’s rather crazy. Anyways. Check out the girls! They did a special performance of Bo Peep Bo Peep, a traditional one inspired by Korean folk music. They also wore hanbok inspired outfits. I love hanboks. I think they’re beautiful. I think they’re more beautiful than kimonos and qipaos and so on (although qipao is traditional compared to kimono and hanboks). I was pleasantly surprised to see their outfits, they looked quite nice I thought. I mean, they’ve obviously been made specifically for them so I wonder who their costume designer is.
Doesn’t Soyeon looks adorable? =^_^=
Plus, the girls are absolutely adorable when they won! They couldn’t stop crying! <3333333333 Don't cry! We all laff you~ Well, Boram didn't cry did she? Boram!!! But I love this! It's so genuine and clearly shows how hard they've been working! I'm so proud of them <3
T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep @ Music Core
2 JanFresh from their success on Music Bank with their first award win ~HWAITING~ the girls are back with another performance of Bo Peep. I really love this song now actually <3 The production is a bit rubbish but it's catchy. And don't the girls look amazing in this performance? They're wearing the 19+ video clothes! I've never seen them wear them before, they look really good! Makes a nice change to the weird outfits they normally wear.
2PM – Heartbeat @ SBS Gayo Daejun
29 Dec2PM (one of my favourite acts this year) continued to wow the audience and hottests by performing a stellar performance of Heartbeat. It was pretty awesome. I know there was much controversy with Jaebeom but they still perform really well!
T-ara & SeeYa & Davichi – TTL & His Voice & 8282 & Women’s Generation
29 DecT-ara <3 and SeeYa and Davichi (respected noona and labelmates) performed a joint stage together doing a melody of TTL, His Voice, 8282 and Women's Generation. Was pretty awesome to see all the girls get together, there's a great sense of friendship amongst them don't you think? I have to admit though, boy can SeeYa and Davichi sing compared to T-ara. Granted, they're rookies and the other bands are known for their amazing vocals, but wow. I wish they got more air time then so people could be wowed more. I think it's easy to forget what an amazing voice sounds like when everything is over produced or focused on the dance moves.
