11 Must Listen To K-Pop Songs Part II

Lo and behold! I have returned with none other than some more K-Pop ear candy! I hope you guys enjoyed my last batch of K-Pop songs, but here' the last six. I hope you guys enjoy and remember to keep looking because you'll never know what you'll find! (And if you missed Part 1 of this click here.)

6. Bingle Bingle - Big Bang
On many accounts I may seem biased like right now. I know I listed Big Bang twice on this list, but Bingle Bingle was too good to pass up.  This song has got more of a rocker feel while still retaining that Big Bang style. This song has some hints of guitar riffs too. My only question: what does Bingle mean? Is it Korean? Is it English? How many licks does it take to get to the center of Lolli Lolli Pop? The world may never know. Plus, as always the lyrics are very clever and creative, but I expect nothing less than that from these guys.



7. No Mercy - SISTAR
Every album gives off a certain vibe, and SISTAR's Alone album gives off that funky, femme-fatale-esque vibe. The proof is this song. The beginning starts off with an incredibly funky beat back from the past, presumably the 70's, while the rest of song is comprised of synths and SISTAR's strong vocals, but the best part is the climatic bridge (around the 2:32 second mark) to the chorus. It feels like your quickly appraoching  the top of a roller coaster or it's as if you're on an airplane on takeoff. Probably one of the most underrated, and  catchy SISTAR songs I've heard. 

8. Baby, Don't Cry - U-KISS
Ahh, U-KISS, I cannot Believe as much as your song tells me to, that you guys are that underrated as a group, but one day you WILL get 1st place, even if I have to go there to Korea myself. This song comes off of their Neverland album, and it such an upbeat song that definitely make any fangirl (or guy) stop crying. It's got the classic U-Kiss sound, with their electronic sounds and awesome raps, but it's not too high tempo like Neverland or Believe, so you have time to breathe, process, and enjoy the song for what it is, a really good song. 

9. Just the Two of Us feat. Miss A's Min - B1A4's Baro
This has to be my favorite song off of B1A4's Ignition album; this song really takes good advantage of Baro's deep voice and amazing rapping. It's a hip hop song with such a rich sound especially due to Baro's rapping (which had a lot of attitude, just how I like them) and Min's vocals. Who would've thought that such a cute squirrel boy like Baro could have such a deep voice, nonetheless composing skills. That's right, you heard me, composing skills. Baro helped write this song. Looks like Jinyoung has some competition on his hands.


10. Crying feat. Baby Soul - INFINITE's Dongwoo & Hoya
While we're at it, let's add another song, making this list the 11 must listen songs. I'm adding this one because Just the Two of Us, reminded me of two of my other favorite rappers, Dongwoo and Hoya. I put this 10th because, I'm saving the best for last. In comparison to the prior song, Crying has more of a blue, rain is falling, mellow mood especially enhanced by the piano. Hoya and Dongwoo's voices stand out to me in a way that I can't describe, but their sound fits the song, I suppose because it's not so ostentatious, rather it conveys more emotion.

11. Now or Never - 2am's Jinwoon
I saved the best for Last! Remember the Jinwoon from Dream High 2 who wanted to do RAWK and Roll! Remember this: "G MINOOOORRR!" Luckily, this song doesn't have any G MINOOOORRRS, but it is absolutely amazing. It is phenomenal when K-Pop artists - emphasis on artists- spend time and effort  on their music, because the results usually never disappoint me. Jinwoon wrote and composed this song. It seems that Jinwoon's real style was rock, and it suits him so well.   Listening to Now or Never has a coldplay-esque vibe, but Jinwoon makes it his own. His vocals are so smooth and he has wide vocal range too. Even the music video is so creative (no boxes in sight) and the lyrics are inspiring. It's such a brilliant piece of music that I highly suggest that you don't pass up. I won't say any more than that, because it's just that good.

A's Update!

Annyeong guys! I'll be heading to California tomorrow so my posts will be low. :( But on the bright side, I'll stuff as much posts as I can today, before I leave. Since there's so much to say, I'll condense it into none other than.... A LIST! Because lists are awesome that's why! This list will consist of everything that's currently occupying my mind in K-Pop


1. SUPER JUNIOR'S COMEBACK
I am so hyped for Super Junior's comeback. Do you know how many times I've watched their comeback stage on M Countdown? Let's put it this way, A LOT! Their performance of From U was one to put in history books! It was a combination of K.R.Y., awesome dance sequences, crisp white shirts (my weakness!) and a blatant, EUNHAE moment! It killed me every time.


2. 2NE1'S COMEBACK
I stayed up late - on top of packing procrastination - waiting for 2ne1's music video, but no matter how many times I refreshed the page there was nothing. No Dara, Bom, Cl, or Minzy to be found. Papa YG is being such a troll!


3. WONDER GIRL'S LIKE MONEY MV
It seems like the Wonder Girls are just doing projects one after the other, not that I'm complaining. I guess they're just making up for semi-lost time. So, I'm currently awaiting their Like Money Music Video. The teasers hint at a tougher, futuristic Wonder Girls and it looks promising. 


4. KHUNTORIA
This couple is old news, but I am plagued with the lack of good Korean TV shows right now. So until Strong Heart returns with a new episode, I'm revisiting old shows like Khuntoria from WGM. The season of the Adam Couple, Yongseo, and Khuntoria was probably the best season I've ever seen. I would believe it if Khun and Vic were an actual couple, and I squeal at all their sappy, couple stuff. I am equal parts jelly and entertained while watching this couple. 

5. B1A4 ON HELLO BABY!
Speaking of variety shows, there are rumors that one of my favorite boy group, B1A4, will be the next new dads on Hello Baby! I absolutely love Hello Baby and B1A4 would only make it more perfect, if there is anything that can exceed perfection. No news or dates as to when that family begin, but I'm waiting. 
Since there's no trailer for B1a4 Hello Baby, at least we Have Baby, Good Night as an alternative, and a cute one at that. 

Looking back at my list, I'm just patiently waiting for all of this stuff to happen aren't I? Well, until that happens, I hope you guys had a wonderful Fourth of the July, and I'll return soon with more K-Pop goodness!

UPDATE!

For those of you guys who live in the UNITED STATES, Happy Late 4th of JULY :)

Wow guys it's already July and summer break only has a month and a half left :)

So anyways for theast week I have been staying up and watching a lot Kdrama's and I think I finished 5 or 6 is the last week and tonight I am watching Protect the Boss. I am going to do reviews on all the drama's I have  watched and also ones that I am re-watching. But I do have to say Rooftop Prince was one of the most amazing Kdrama's I have every watched it just.... ahhh.....I'm gonna make a review soon because Rooftop Prince deserves a whole post and everything because I downright am obsessed with that show and I'm probably going to re-watch it later this summer.

Anyways I did get or puppy and his name is SPIKE and he got here Monday night and we have been having a lot of fun and thats why I couldn't post anything. It was because he's a puppy so we need to potty train him and everything but he is the most loving puppy and very well behaved also he is the most adorable little rascal ever because when I'm sleeping on the couch he would come and lay by me and sleep too. Also he only likes sleeping beside me which is adorable :)

trying to teach Spike to be a camera whore :P

"Mummy stop taking pictures of me" >.< CUTE!

"Hi mummy's friends"


"Squirell" LOL he stares at anything that makes a sudden noise

Everyone seems to think I'm a pillow >.< all my friends do and so does Spike


I have been busy busy busy....

One other thing I AM getting one of those polaroid camera's that kpop artists use on the 15 and by what I mean is my dad will order it for me on the 15th so expect a review on that maybe early or mid August :) I'm so happy.

Also as a promise and goal for yself to be more organized I am getting a Korean Study Planner to help just organize my time spent on things and for someone who already has owned a korean study planner they are worth every penny because I was able to get my grades up all year last year thanks to mine.

Anyways I didn't want this to be too long so Ta ta~ I'm going to watch my kdrama now.

TOP 10

Hey guys :) as you may know I have been watching a whoe bunch of Kdrama's lately and with that I have been loving many of the songs in the OST's. Most of the songs from Kdrama's I like are ballads because I'm a ballad kind of girl and that's just me. Also there's a lot of IFINITE because their my new BIAS :) <random order>
  • Know Your Name (acoustic ver.) - Jay Park
  • Before The Dawn - INFINITE
  • The Chaser - INFINITE
  • Peach - IU
  • Hurt - Ali (Rooftop Prince OST)
  • Cupid - Girls Day (City Hunter OST)
  • Take My Hand - IU (The Greatest Love OST)
  • Baby Good Night - B1A4
  • First Love - Donghae & Eunhyuk Duet
  • Sky - B1A4 ( Take Care of Us, Captain OST)

T-ARA Day by Day MV Reivew

If  you were to ask me to list down my favorite girl groups, T-ara wouldn't be one of them. There's nothing wrong with T-ara; they're just one of those groups I never really invested time in getting to know. I've heard their hit songs like Roly Poly, Bo Peep Bo Peep,Lovey Dovey, and Why Are You Being Like this, which was the only song I really liked. To me, they gave off a retro, disco vibe especially with their distinct hand motions perfect for line dancing. Plus, even I have heard of their notorious member changes and incredibly long music videos. However; the T-ara I saw in Day by Day was nothing like their colorful counterparts. Rather what we had was something new, and I liked it enough to review it.


First of all, it wouldn't be a T-ara music video if it didn't exceed at least 10 minutes; this one was a total of 15. I'm the kind of person that would wait no more than 30 seconds before I skip right to the middle, but I found myself watching the whole thing. The music video begins with a narrative in Korean introducing to us to a post-apocalyptic, dystopian metropolis. A fiery red headed Hyomin and the latest T-ara member, Dani,  ride into the scene as a sisters. Fending for themselves, Hyomin as elder sister, guides her blind sister (who also happens to have super powers) by teaching her how to hunt. This of course reminds me immediately of Katniss Everdeen and her sister Prim. Hey, I blame recent pop culture for teaching me to identify bows and arrows, and side braids with the Hunger Games.
And as much as I love bunnies (they're my favorite animals) I found it quite random to have a bunny hopping about. Regardless of the random bunny, Jiyeon shows off her superior acting skills as a cruel, intimidating mobster-lady with her team of minions hunting down Dani. So, it was only a matter of time until Jiyeon zoomed in with her pink convertible and kidnap Dani like a boss, but not without attempting to kill Hyomin. Eventually, Hyomin is saved, brought to life by two mysterious dudes who tie her up in a tangle of AED's (the wire patch thingies). In short, Jiyeon is ready for her world takeover and Hyomin is healed, hyped and ready to fight. And so the music video ends there a vague "to be continued" packed with a preview for the next box office movie, ending credits and behind the scenes footage. All that's missing is the popcorn!


I think what made this music video stand out in comparison to Lovey Dovey and Roly Poly was the story line. This wasn't a light-hearted drama, it was like a kick-ass action-packed movie! I can't help but love Jiyeon's character, but there's something very appealing about an evil, female antagonist and she plays this role so well! Overall, the plot line didn't drag, rather it kept you on your toes, the characters were interesting, the cinematography and special effects were top of the line and best of all,  it didn't interrupt the song! (Too much)


 My evaluation: it was a good music video with a good song to boot. Day by day is a midtempo song with guitar and flute-like instrumentals combined a strong rap. I wouldn't call it catchy persay but it does have this mysterious, etheral feel, and this darker feel enhances the music video. It was quite a departure from their old songs, but it was their combination of vocals and that light melody that allows it to be still called a T-ara song. I liked Day by day not only because it was more of my style, but it also showed a different side of T-ara both musically and conceptually that I thought was refreshing leaving me with a better impression of T-ara. I may just check out Roly Poly again...


By the way, just in case your wondering, I'm pretty sure the bunny lives.

Translated English Narrative for Day By Day
“Humans wanted to wear the clothes of Gods.
They wanted to talk like Gods and reign like Gods.
However, the Gods did not permit such thoughts of the humans.
In the destroyed world, humans became more like animals than animals themselves.
Picking up knives in attempts to reign over one another, they started to slaughter one another.
But one day…
Rumors started spreading that among them was a girl who possessed special powers.” - T-ARA Day by Day MV


Here's the full music video
Here's the full song to get a good idea what is sounds like as a whole.

Super Junior Sexy Free and Single Quick Review

The Lee Brothers! Ahh! They're my biases! <3

I'm going to refrain as much as I can from fangirling and make this review short and to the point as much as possible, but I am proud to say that I was one of the millions of ELF's that waited till midnight to watch this music video. Were my expectations high? No, not really. It's a well-known fact that SM has gotten too comfortable with Super Junior, so the music video was a reuse and recycled version of Mr. Simple, Sorry Sorry, and Bonamama to an extent. As always, this is unfortunate, but tell the hardcore fangirls that! We, including myself, love and support Super Junior unconditionally, but from an objective standpoint the music video felt very claustrophobic to me and some of the effect were a bit tacky, but I loved when they were walking in slow motion in suit jackets. (I'm sorry sorry, but I can't deny guys in suits!) Oh, and did I forget to mention Donghae is the first thing you see with his eyes and beautiful face staring into your soul! (This is the fangirl talking) Plus, my prediction came true!! Their teaser photos look NOTHING like the music video which is a huge relief. As for the song itself, it's very electronic and while listening to it, the low buzz in the background reminded me of cicadas at night, and for those of you who live in the south, you'll know what I mean. The only redeemable part of this song, that makes it stand apart from Mr. Simple is the beginning of both the music video and the song. It has a super catchy and smooth bridge in the sea of chunky-sounding, digitized verses. Overall, I wasn't really disappointed with the song and music video, because I expected this, but I like this better than Mr. Simple. So, as a result, I'm not here for the the song, I'm here for the Sexy, Free, and Single 10 - emphasis on 10- guys who will perform on stage once again! We ELFs are waiting!

I know Anne did a review too, but I couldn't help it! It's Super Junior! The Last Man Standing!

FASHION: The Pancoat!


Why Korea? Why? Why do you always have cool stuff that we Americans never have? First of all, let me give thanks to Bubz Beauty for introducing me to the PANCOAT! After some Googling, I discovered that Pancoats are a Korean brand of clothing that many K-Pop celebrities wear. Products, as far as I know, are mainly hoodies and T-shirts in a range of colors (they sell backpacks too) usually adorned with a super super cute animal or Pancoat's trademark Loony Toons-looking eyes. Since it's Korean and it's cute, it's now on my must haves list, but like with everything else that I want, it's only sold in Korea unless you're willing to shell out some bucks for a plane ticket to South Korea. Or if you're more frugal than that, I'm sure that you can buy it online, but it may be expensive. However; E-Bay or some obscure website can assist you if price is a problem. (Just kidding!) As for me, I'll just look at Tumblr pics. Quack!
I want the blue one!!!

THE BIG 3?




Have you guys ever heard of the big 3? well it's actually said 3 is a luck number. the trinity, 3 big gods, 3rd times's the charm. Well in the world of Korean Entertainment Companies there is 3 that are the most well know. And thats....
File:JYP Entertainment Logo.jpg
File:YG Entertainment Logo.jpg


These 3 are very big because they produce world famouse artists. Like BigBang and 2NE1 from YG, Wonder Girld, 2PM, Miss A from JYP, SUJU, SNSD, SHINee, F(x) from SM.

What I'm basically saying is if you want to be a kpop artist the big 3 should be your goal but it is also very hard to get into any of them and each one have their perks.

Perks of JYP

-You get to work with the famous Park Jin Young.
-good pay
-treated right
-cares about looks but not too much

Perks of YG
-has one of the best offices
-known to treat workers the best
-cares more about talent than looks
-tries to see your pontential in the future
-work side by side with seniors (you get tought by the seniors and so get closer)

Perks of SME
-really good advertisement
-best quality everything
-slave contract? (idk if that's still going on)
-big practice area
-seem to have the busiest idols....


Now it's up to you where you wanna go because each have their pros and cons. But if it were me I would be going to YG because of really how they treat their people. Like they have had SE7EN for a long time and that really says that YG is very good. SME? no way for me anyways. WHY? because look at all those who have left......... yeah yeah their old groups and were bound to disband but I think they overwork them ....

But not being in the big 3 doesn't mean your going to not be successful it's just that people need to see your talent. I have been quite well versed in the kpop world for quite some time now and have never heard of LOEN until IU became famous and now LOEN is quite well known. It's the same with SISTAR, After School, B1A4, INFINITE. They have qualities that let them be seen through all of the high and powerful companies.

SISTAR - sexy, Hyorin has an awesome voice
After School - sexy, one of the best dance girl groups
B1A4 - sexy, cute
INFINITE - sexy, highly syncronized dance, sexy
IU - voice, cute, good actress....

So hope you guys think very carefully when sending an audition to kpop companies because like you guys who love kpop want to be a part of it too.

KDRAMA

hello everyone! its like 2am and I haven't slept yet cuz well I' watching a whole lot of KDRAMA.....watching new ones and old. SO yeah... in the last 2 or 3 days i finished Rooftop Prince <LOVE IT> and Playfull kiss and I'm actually re watching a lot of my favorite drama's. Arou you guys watching Kdrama's too? if so tell me.

SUJU Sexy, Free & Single MV REVIEW

Guess what!? Our beloved Super Junior has released the Sexy, Free & Single MV on SME's official YouTube 10 minutes ago and already has 300 views.

File:Superjunior 6thalbum.jpg
First impression was WHAT THE HELL!!! WTF! and that was for the whole MV.

I seriously do not think that was SUJU at all! it was all rediculous and I don't even know why they chose that as their title song. I'm quite confused....

I expect great things from SUJU because.... well.... their known for being awesome right? but this really is absurd..... this is not at all the SUJU i know.


Dance - average - could habe done better
MV - average -- SME never really release interesting MV nor ones that makes sense.the older MV were better
Clothes - WTF!? vampires?
Song - whaaaaa?

As for the teaser pics.....THEY HAVE NOTHING TO DO WITH SEXY, FREE & SINGLE.... WELL YEAH THEIR OUTFITS THAT GONNA MAKE THEM SINGLE AND THEY HAD NO OUNCE OF SEXY IN THOSE PICS.

I swear I FUCKING love Super Junior and I'm just super surprised at this I hope they find/release better songs that can own up to Bonamana and Sorry Sorry because this song is making me go Sorry Sorry.

BTW welcome back KangIn.

If you guys feel the same way comment because I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one who feels this way.

11 Must Listen K-Pop Songs: PART I

Is your summer playlist lifeless and dry? Are you tired of the same old K-Pop songs? Here's your solution! The thing about K-Pop is that the best songs are always hidden in the album. Sure, title tracks can be good, but the album is where you find the hidden gems, and trust me when I say the search is worth it. Here's a couple of gems I unearthed. 


1. Te Amo - U-KISS
Te Amo is perfect for summer what with it's signature U-KISS electronic sound with some saxophone to mix it up, producing a club-worthy summer song. The beginning of the song may sound strange and dubious at first, but since the song is scattered with several hooks, climatic bass drops, and an addictive chorus, it's easily overlooked. And if the shake-your-hips beat doesn't move you, the lyrics are sure to melt the hearts of KissMes worldwide. Plus, brownie points for the Spanish phrases.


Location I think of when I listen to this song: Bonfire party on an exotic beach and/or on a fancy yacht.

2. Green Light - G.NA feat. Jay Park
Green Light, though different in melody, has the same musical appeal as her hit song Banana due to its creative and funky beat. That same beat also complements the entire arrangement of the song combined with an awesome prechorus hook. Though, unlike other songs that feature rappers, Green Light is creative in the sense that Jay Park doesn't just appear, rap, and -POOF! - go away; rather, he is featured throughout the whole entire song. The song is a conversation between Jay, rapping to G.NA, and G.NA , singing to Jay: the perfect song for those hardcore shippers. 


Location I think of when I listen to this song: Dancing on a stoop in New York with one of those retro boomboxes.


3. Beautiful Stranger - F(x)
What do you get when you take Luna's powerhouse voice, Krystal's sweet, on-pitch vocals, and Amber's epic raps? You get Beautiful Stranger! It's nice to see F(x) take a different route with their music in this song; instead of their trademark, what I believe to be, somewhere along the lines of electro-pop songs. It possess a completely different feel from Electric Shock that literally shocks you with it's synth-heavy beats. My favorite part has to be the beginning, because the beat starts off soft until it gradually ascends into Amber's rap, delivered as always with confidence and power. It's a perfect showcase of this trio's talents. However; the most impressive part of this song was the depth of the lyrics, which is rare in SM songs. If you read the comments [in this video], I love the perspective of these fangirls/boys. They all perceive the Beautiful Stranger, not as a lover, rather as a description of the love they have for their favorite idols. It's definitely worth checking out. 


Location I think of when I listen to this song: A whimsical yet modernized version of a magical forest.


4. Mr. Johnny - Miss A
If I had one word to describe Miss A it would be FIERCE. They exude it and the best part is that their music reflects that, as well as their unique style towards music. Mr. Johnny is a perfect example of this. Since I'm no music analysis expert I'll throw technical descriptions out the window.It's a catchy, high tempo song combined with attitude, funky beats, a really awesome intro, and an an epic Jia rap - all in English might I add -  or in other words, classic Miss A.


Location I think of when I listen to this song: A spy movie 

5. Ego - Big Bang
My expectations of Big Bang always run high ever since their 2011 song Tonight (my first Big Bang song). As a VIP, it took me completely by surprise that they had a Japanese album! The thought never occurred to me, but I suppose it's my fault for assuming that they would just translate their old hits into Japanese. They recently released the Korean version of Ego onto their new Special Edition Still Alive album.
  
As for the song itself it's a mid-tempo song with some guitar plucking sounds with what I believe to be synthetic drums making it one of their more mellow songs, but it was delivered perfectly. The highlight of the song is the pre-chorus and the chorus with it's addictive hooks sung by GD, while Seungri, Daesung, and Taeyang complement the arrangement with their smooth vocals. But wait! Where's the rap? Trick question! There is none! So does this mean.... yes, TOP actually sung in this song and it works! He and GD add a good contrast to the others' vocals, but I think the X-factor in this song was GD's voice: it's a one-of-a-kind voice that I don't think can be defined. It's his voice that adds an edge to the song, and as always Big Bang pulls it off seamlessly. 




Location I think of when I listen to this song: Oddly, some loft in California...I think it's because I've been thinking a lot about California lately. 

Please Note that it's hard finding the Korean version of this song without any audio changes, so I put the Japanese version instead.

INFINITE V.S. SHINee : INFINITE WINS!

I loved INFINITE before but I never like downloaded all their music and after listening to The Chaser I have been listening to their other songs and have been loving them and so I have succesfully downloaded all their music onto my ipod and i have been rapeing the replay button on all their songs that my brothers get so annoyed I listen to so much INFINITE. Like they have gone way up on the ANNE'S MOST LOVED KPOP BOY GROUPS LIST. I think they have surpassed SHINee a little.... I never thought any group could do that.... I'm actually quite shocked..... My friends who know I OBSESS over SHINee is probably going into shock right now.

It's not that they have better songs cuz i obviouly loved listening to their songs to fall in lve with them but it was their hiatus that kinda made me drift away. Especially for me because once you leave for a long time I have a hard time you getting back into the feel of it all. And now I am absolutely in love with INFINITE. Who knows I might go back to SHINee.....

As for favorite members i know #1 is L and #2 is Sunggyu because his voice, he'scute, and yeah his close up on the BTD MV made me fall head-over-heals for him. and Hoya is somewhere in the top.....

Have this happened to you guys??

Since I'm someone who forgets and gets bored easily I have gone through this before.... Whats weird is im not like super madly in love with the big big big kpop stars of now like SUJU and stuff.....

Shall I show you who I'v loved before?

DBSK/TVXQ -> SHINee -> 2PM -> SHINee -> INFINITE




















UPDATE!

hey guys! well i have some stuff to just tell yall. I am currently working on bunches of stuff that I have posts overload and i'm working on them on and off so i would switch from post to post but thy should be up in a couple days and I'll list the stuff that i'm working on below and also later today I am going to tampa and eating some yummy asian foodies and I will make sure to post pics of that. Also I might not be able to blog as much later on this summer because....WERE GETTING A PUPPY! on sunday :) My family has decided to name him SPIKE and yeah. He's a purebred Cocker Spaniel and he's 5 months old. according to my mom he is tan in color and has a little mowhak going on and that's why were calling him SPIKE. Since I'm left at home to babysit my brothers during the week I will also be in charge of SPIKE and actually the day after we get him my parents have work so I will be taking care of him and so that's another child. Also what's awesome is I'm going to basically it's mom since I'm gonna be taking care of him the most. I'll take pics for you guys when he comes.

Replay List #5

If you look at my previous lists from the winter, you'll notice a complete 180 degree change in my summer playlist. It's a lot more mellow, mid tempo and smooth like R&B in comparison to the rap heavy and electro songs I was listening to not only a month ago. Now that it's summer, I've been relaxing and being lazy. I guess my list reflects that. So, find a hammock under a shady tree, drink some lemonade (or banana milk) and listen to some good ole' K-Pop. 

  1.  Busker Busker - A Cherry Blossom's End
  2. SISTAR - Loving U
  3. Wonder Girl's Sunye & Yeeun - When You Believe
  4. Wonder Girl's - Nothin on You (Cover)
  5. Wonder Girl's Sunye & Yeeun - Dugo Dugo
  6. Whole MBLAQ Mona Lisa Album
    • I Shouldn't Speak
    • One
    • I Don't Know
    • Ojos Frios 
    • You Knew
    • Mona Lisa
  7. Y - Super Junior
  8. Infinite - Chaser

F(x) Electric Shock Mv REVIEW

File:Fxelectricshock.jpg
Yet another group is in to join the summer fun and that's SME's girl group F(x).

F(x) has always been techno pop kinda music but and I don't tend to like those kinds of music and if you have been reading past reviews I've always liked cute songs,pop, and also I'm in love with ballads and I know that I don't tend to like music like that so I usually stay away from it and also F(x) is one of the kpop groups I tend to not care about but the MV was in subscription box on YouTube and it called me to do a review.

Starting off with the song. I like it and it's very energetic electric pop song and will make you jump out of your chair and just dance. And if I had to put this song in a catagory season wise it would be summer because of all the energy it gives off.

Like with many idols before releasing a music video or anything they change their image a bit. The bautiful Victoria has gone blond and the 2 members who usually have the crazy colorful hairstyles actually went for a plain chocolate brown hair but pretty none the less.

The girls who are know for their bright and colorful outfits have showed us neon! and neon is very in this summer in terms of fashion. In the MV i wish they would have not had Sulli wear that super girly black skirt because I don't really think it goes with the whole thing.

The dance is good and I was quite exited to see if it was good live but I checked all of their live performance of this song and it didn't hae the same feel as when I was watching the MV... maybe it was how the MV was edited...... The song live though was sung very well but I can't know until I'm told which one they actually sung or which one they lip sync.





I don't know about you guys, and I love korean fashion but what is up with the boots? I seriously don't know how those are fashionable and I have no idea how they could even dance with them on.

And to address another dilema.... I wished that kpop girl groups in general would stop wearing shorts that are too short. I mean I love short shorts, FOR PETE'S SAKE I LIVE IN FLORIDA!, but I think there is a line between underwear and shorts. For guys they don't care but for a girl like me I know that if I were ever a kpop girl I do not want to be dancing in booty shorts in front of a camera and people and have them see my bum and then think it over at the end but no there was a camera so people could replay that over and over again on the internet.

So overall......Its SHOWER WORTHY!!!!! although F(x) wasn't one of those groups that I don't really like I ave opened up to them and they will be introduced into my ipod very soon.
