The peach 愛 End of Year Music Awards 2009 Part 1

18 Dec

So, I thought I’d post my own End of Year Music Award list ^_^ This is just my own opinions but I thought it’d be fun. So, without further ado~

Favourite Korean Artist

Winner – T-ara

T-ara are definitely my favourite k-pop artist at the moment. I like them over other favourites, SNSD, Wonder Girls, 2PM and so on. It’s for a few reasons. Firstly, Good Person (their unofficial debut) is a great song. It’s a great ballad that really showed the girls can sing. I think sometimes the k-pop world is all about great pop music and the concept, but they forget the singing. It’s clear to me that T-ara has members that can out sing many other members of bands. That brings me neatly on to Soyeon. I *love* Soyeon. She’s a fantastic singer and is amazingly beautiful. Plus, she’s an 87er and that’s the same as me! When I found out that she got dropped from SNSD because she was an 87er then I just loved her even more. She’s definitely my favourite~ Lastly, they have great songs. Good Person, Lies, TTL, TTL Listen 2, Apple is A, Like The First Time, Bo Peep Bo Peep, that’s 7 songs they’ve released and all of them are great and that’s not to mention their album. The girls aren’t afraid to change their concept and I think they work harder than any other band at the moment. I have so much respect for them. This is the year of T-ara~

Notable mentions – SNSD, Ivy, 2PM, Chae Yeon

Favourite Korean Song

Winner – SNSD – Gee

Gee is by far my most played song ever. It has probably 500+ hits (I’ve had to reformat my computer a couple of times). It’s so insanely catchy and the dance routine is hilariously good. I want to learn it ;_; I want to bust out some moves walking along the street. You know you have that song you listen to and suddenly you find yourself skipping down the street as if you’re 7 years old and it’s Summer? Gee does this to me :)

Notable mentions – T-ara & Supernova – TTL Listen 2, Chae Yeon – Shake, 2PM – Heartbeat, Ivy – Touch Me

Stay tuned for my personal favourites from the J-pop world and the C-pop world; what are your favourite 2009 artists?

SNSD – Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) & Gee @ Melon Music Awards 2009

17 Dec

SNSD gave a pretty awesome performance of Tell Me Your Wish and Gee at the Melon Music Awards! It’s awesome to see that the girls still can be cute and innocent (Gee) whilst being sexy and vampish (Tell Me Your Wish). <3 Yoona~

SNSD & Super Junior – Seoul Song MV 2

15 Dec

Everyone loves a bit of SNSD and Super Junior! The two bands have been winning awards left right and centre as the year comes to a close. But they’re also joining together to perform a very special song; a song to promote Seoul and South Korea ^_^ I really like the song, and the MV is really cute ^_^ Check it out~

SNSD & Super Junior – Seoul Song MV

9 Dec

Ooo, new SNSD and Super Junior! As part of a promotional move from Korea’s Ministry of Culture, the two bands joined together to release a song all about South Korea’s capital, Seoul! Seoul is definitely a world city up there with Tokyo, Beijing, London, New York, Paris, Berlin and on and on. The song is really nice, I especially like the SNSD parts – it’s a cute song. It’s not exactly Christmasy, but I can see why it fits this time of year. The MV is really cute too – hehe, gotta love SNSD and Super Junior acting eh? Very excited :D ~S E O U L~

~ Please note, SM Entertainment keep taking down the videos for this, so I don’t know how long the link will work for. Apologies ^_^

SNSD – Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) Live @ Jejudo Special Music Core Stage

6 Dec

Everyone’s favourite girlband, SNSD, are back! Long after promotions for Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) have finished, they’re back for Music Core’s special stage at Jeju. And, what has all that time off done? Well it’s made them even better performers! They give a pretty great performance and all looked pretty awesome. I do miss SNSD, and they’re my friend’s favourite band. But, I <3 T-ara more, alas ^_^;

Girls’ Generation – Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) @ Asia Song Contest 2009

25 Sep

The highlight for me from the Asia Song Contest is SNSD! Whew~! Aside from T-ara, they are my favourite K-pop group. I know, Wonder Girls started it all but even back in the day, I always preferred Girls’ Generation compared to Tell Me or Hot. And then comparing Gee to Nobody, well, SNSD wins hands down! So I was excited to see their performance and they really do give a great performance. I don’t know what else to say, they perform so professionally now that it’s really hard to criticise them.

Girls’ Generation – Gee

11 Apr

So, I’ve loved J-pop and C-pop for a few years now, but there’s a certain kind of pop music that’s getting my feet tapping. No, not Icelandic pop music, K-pop (Korean)! Korea definitely has one of the coolest, trendiest [insert superlative here] cultures at the moment. Korean cinema is arguably the coolest and most innovative (along side, say… Spanish cinema).

Not merely a country with awesome films (Lady Vengeance being one of my favourite movies of all time), it also has pretty awesome pop music. This isn’t necessarily music that is new, progressive or slick. It’s pop music at it’s cutest bubbliness! What could be more cute than 9 Korean girls bouncing around and singing ‘Gee gee gee gee gee gee’ over the place? It’s awesome~

平 和 愛
