The girls released the full MV for their new single, Oh! I quite like it. It’s not my favourite SNSD song by far (Gee still remains one of my favourite songs), but I quite like it. I’ve not listened too much to the whole new album but it seems pretty cool so far. It’s less… SM Entertainment sounding though. They’ve definitely changed their music style – that’s a good thing cause it means they’ve grown as artists, but at the same time, I miss the gee gee gee playfulness.

Wonder Girls – Nobody Chinese Version
1 FebXD Ah! Wonder Girls are debuting in China! I think Chinese people will love the girls. To debut, they’re releasing a special Chinese version album with a Chinese version of Nobody! I’m not sure if there is going to be other Chinese songs but Nobody is awesome! It reminds me a bit of Avril Lavigne’s Girlfriend. They’re going to be making all kinds of versions next! Check out the preview below; granted the guy speaking over it means you can’t hear it that well, but it’s pretty awesome to hear the girls sing in Chinese~
T-ara – Like The First Time @ Inkigayo
25 JanYay, promotions for Like The First Time! Awesomeness ^_^ This is one of my favourite songs from the album, in fact it might be my favourite song. Actually I think TTL/TTL Listen 2 is still my favourite. But this awesome anyway. I really liked the performance too. It’s less hyperactive energy than Bo Peep, but it shows the girls are very good at changing style and concept, something that they should be applauded for. I think they look really nice too. Although, their style reminds me of Wonder Girls’ Nobody concept. 20s~50s retro chic.
SNSD – Oh! MV Teaser / Full Song
25 JanSorry for not posting much this last week, I’ve been very busy ^_^ Thank you for your continued appreciation and hits though ^_^
To mark my return from a short hiatus, let’s kick things off with SNSD! Oh em gee O_o! They’re back with a new song~ and album, but that hasn’t been released yet. It’s really catchy! It’s going to be number 1 mutizen for ages! Weeks! The girls can do no wrong it seems. Or can they?! There’s definitely more than a passing resembalence to Rihanna’s Shut Up and Drive. It’s like the same chorus! *sigh* K-pop producers do it again huh? Check out the full audio and a MV teaser below~
CN Blue – I’m a Loner @ Inkigayo
17 JanOf all the recent debuts by bands, CN Blue just might be my favourite. They offer something different and interesting to the K-pop world. There’s not a dance routine in sight! I love their style and sound that they’re going for. It’s nothing new musically, but it’s a nice change from the K-pop world at the moment (not that I’m complaining, I love me some K-pop).
SeeYa & Davichi & T-ara – Wonder Woman @ Inkigayo
17 JanThe special collaboration group, featuring the vocal talents of SeeYa, Davichi and T-ara have just performed Wonder Woman on Inkigayo. The live performance is quite amazing to watch because the girls sing so well. A lot of the time I watch the live stages for the performance (costumes, cheography, charisma etc.) but not necessarily the singing. But every member of this special group can sing amazingly well.
T-ara – Bo Peep Bo Peep @ Inkigayo
17 JanT-ara have achieved something that not many newly debuted groups manage to do. They’ve just achieved their third consecutive Inkigayo award! How awesome is that? Hwaiting! I’m so proud of the girls. Check out their performance below and their victory and encore. They’re always so gracious.
2PM – Heartbeat & Tired of Waiting @ Music Bank Goodbye Stage
15 JanAwww, the 2PM guys are wrapping up promotions of 1:59PM and held a special goodbye stage of Heartbeat and Tired of Waiting. 1:59PM was definitely one of my favourite albums from 2009 so it’s a bit sad to see the guys finally stop promoting Heartbeat. But I guess they finally need a break. Definitely going to miss their Heartbeat stages though – they were awesome!
HyunA – Change @ Music Bank
15 JanHyunA continues promotions of her first solo singl, Change, on Music Bank. I wonder if she regrets leaving Wonder Girls (not that she had a choice). She’d be making such different music now; instead of edgy pop music, she’d be making 60s inspired tweenish pop music. Quite a big difference don’t you think? I guess maybe she’s happier performing the edgier stuff. I think she looks really like Jolin Tsai here though.
CN Blue – I’m A Loner @ Music Bank
15 JanA new boy band have just debuted on Music Bank, called CN Blue (I don’t know why?). I think they’re a great fresh air for the K-pop scene! Moving away from the slick production values of the past few years (where everyone raps, sings and dances to perfection), these guys are a little less polished but they sing live and play instruments instead of dancing. I know, it doesn’t sound like such a big deal but goodluck to them! They seem to be setting the scene on fire, a bit like Younha did when she was starting out. I really enjoyed the performance, the song is well catchy! although it sounds very familiar… a bit like 2009’s Eurovision Song Contest Winner (check out the video below).
