Sorry 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~
T-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
Fresh 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 (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 <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.
Who doesn’t love the holiday season? I love it, it’s great. You get to spend time with our family and get new shiney things and then also there’s a tonne of live performances of your favourite k-pop bands to watch and listen to. What can warm your heart more than dancing along to SNSD’s Gee and/or Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)?
The SNSD girls are back with one last performance before Christmas Day. Performing on KBS, they sang their hit single, Tell Me Your Wish. The girls never really fail to be great so what can I say? I definitely think this year has been their year and well deservedly so. I’ve always loved SNSD (if it wasn’t for T-ara, they’d still be my favourite band), when the SNSD girls were debuting along with Wonder Girls’ surge in fame, I always <3 SNSD.
Anyways, I'd also like to take the time to wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a happy holiday ^_^
Awww, I think Korea does a really nice job of celebrating Christmas. Everywhere is full of special stages and Christmas renditions of our favourite songs. So, to everyone’s favourite girlband, SNSD performing Gee (arguably my favourite song of the year).
After School are definitely the SNSD of Winter. Awww, bless em. I don’t like Because of You as much as Gee or Tell Me Your Wish (Genie) but it’s pretty perfect for the end of the year ^_^
Sorry for not posting in a while, you know how the holiday season is. I’m actually in Scotland at the moment with my boyfriend and his family. Everything’s amazing! His family are so lovely and it’s been snowing loads! I’ll have to take loads of photos. The weather in the UK has been pretty horrendous (only travelling wise). It looks beautiful but driving, flying, walking etc. is nigh impossible. Which makes me very worried cause I’m meant to be travelling on Boxing Day. Hrm.
Anyway, to cheer me and you and everyone up I’m posting T-ara’s Bo Peep Bo Peep performance on Inkigayo. Tis very cute and festive cause the girls are all wearing Christmas outfits! <3 Boram's polar bear mitten ^_^ hehe. Check it out~
