Korean boy bands literally have the worst names. I mean, Super Junior? Shinee? Boyfriend? It's like they want to be ridiculed... But did you know that these groups are actual among the groups with the LEAST embarrassing names? Well, alot of these groups use acronyms as name... Let's see what these acronyms actually stand for.
CN BLUE = Code Name Burning Lovely Untouchable Emotional F.T. Island = Five Treasured Island B2ST = Boys 2 Search the Top U-KISS = Ubiquitous Korean International idol Super Star SS501 = Superstar Singer Five Members United As One Forever H.O.T. = High-five Of Teenagers
and finally, my own personal favorite: MBLAQ = Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality

7. f(x) on the other hand... Well, you can tell they're fresher in the game. They generally looked kinda intimidated by the entire thing. At no point did they deviate from the choreography, almost like it was their safety blanket and you could tell that they were nervous, especially Krystal and Sulli. Amber was exception though, she felt very comfy. Regardless of how they felt on stage, they did their routines very well and if they only got less intimidated by the situation, I'm sure they'd really shine.
8. Briefly gonna mention the three boy bands too. First Super Junior... Well, regardless of what one thinks of them these guys know how to put on a show. Sure, it's easier to engage an audience when half of that audience is screaming from excitement so hard that they're about to faint, but I was definitely impressed by it. Shinee did their best to counterweigh their super girly name and they were somewhat successful. They're almost overselling it a bit. All in all though, it wasn't that bad though. DBSK though, you could sort of feel the missing pieces. They tried their best to compensate for all the people not there, but they were still not used to it. So ultimately their performances kinda dragged on a bit.
9. Also gotta give some props to Onew for actually singing Vincero... In Europe... Considering it's a language he really doesn't know and in the audience there are definitely several of people that are fluent in Italian, that's kinda gutsy... And the end result? Well, not the best performance of that song ever, but he definitely didn't mess up. All in all, I was rather impressed.
10. Also, SNSD didn't do Into the New World. They did freaking My Child, but not Into the New World! It's your anthem dammit, how can you ignore your anthem?!
So yeah, that's me being brief... If you want more, feel free to ask and I'll answer... I have a few fancams to refresh my memory if necessary.

Not sure how many elaborate you want it, I can be really long winded if you let me so I'll start slow and if you want more I'll get into further detail later. Some observations and tidbits: 1. Everybody loves Amber. Seriously, she got bigger cheers than some of the guys. Europe is, and probably will always be, boy band country, cause pop music is usually just something girls listen to. So of course the noise reach higher levels when they came out... The stark exception from that though was Amber. Oh my god, I thought my eardrums were gonna pop. I remember thinking "you know, you do remember that while she looks more masculine than most korean guys, she's still a girl... you do know that right?". Cause it seemed that the entire female audience wanted to go gay for her every time she did... well, anything.
2. Europe also loves Hyoyeon. I really wish I had been at the first concert (but every single ticket site crashed simultaneously when they released the tickets) so I could have seen her face as people cheered for her... But yeah, she definitely got the biggest cheers of the SNSD girls, with SY second... And after that it was kinda equalish. And you could tell that she was just so damn happy about it. I mean, she not exactly a mopey cranky pants... But at times, when choreography and time allowed, it was like she was even giddy. Like the inside of her was constantly bouncing for joy. Like at the end of the concert, someone in the audience gave Jess a big pink foam heart. Well, somehow Hyo got ahold of it and then she just wouldn't let it up. Or she briefly lend half of it to Seo but then she took it back and played with it and at one time I think I see her do aegyo... And she never does that, but she was just so happy she couldn't contain herself. She loved it in Europe and I was really happy to see her like that... I've also noticed that ever since then the girl seems much more intent on learning English. Guess she's realized that she needs that in order to interact with her biggest fanbase as it seems. So yeah, go Hyo!
3. It's one thing having Sunny do her Sunny thing on a small computer screen, it's another thing entirely to have it happen about 3 meters infront of your freaking face. The girl can seriously pull off more facial expressions in a minute than most people does in a year.
4. Everyone looks better in real life. I know it's cliche, but dammit, it's true. Didn't think it would be possible for SY to look better than she already did, but yeah... Real > TV.
5. Generally about them as a group though... These girls are just pro as one would expect them to be. They weren't all as energized as Hyo and it wasn't their absolute best show ever, probably cause the boys bands stole their thunder a bit. But they look so comfy and at ease with everything. All in all, they just seemed really happy to be there. Choreography was spot on as always, but the best parts were almost when they decided to improvise or didn't have set choreography cause that when they really shine as performers. They've got audience interaction down to a science really.
6. Also I got a thumbs up/similar gesture (waves doesn't counts) for singing along from Tiff, SY and Sunny... That didn't suck...

Nah, just referring to the song... Regarding Minah herself though... Ehm... Well, I usually prefer my girls a little bit more emotionally stable... Goes for all of them really... But sure, I'll agree it's kind of a cute vid...
And since we're posting Girl's Day vids, let's not forget about this one, proving they don't have to be quite that aegyo to be good:
Consistently good these girls alright... Too bad about Tilt My Head though, that one is just terrible...

Could anyone repost that CNBlue song from the last topic where Yonghwa completely and thoroughly butchered the English language? There are people I need to show it to...

Actually yes... While the economy might require more people in the subsequent generation compared to the previous, society in the long term can't sustain it and therefore it actually makes kinda sense that the government does what it can in order to limit the number of births without for that matter intruding on people's personal freedom.

CT: Killed by demons in the church... Pretty sure I can dodge a few imp and some birds and that green roly thing, but I'm not prepared to deal with demons I don't think.

From: muddersmilk | #468 Maniac fun fact time. The Spike voiceover scene was a late edition to the script based on how much Joss loved Seth Green doing it in The Italian Job. Having Seth in this episode inspired him.
The Italian Job was released in 2003, this episode is from 1999... Yeah, think you got your facts screwed up a bit...

From: NioraptH | #171 Also, some Kpop producer says she's actually not famous at all in South Korea. No one knows her, and the song she 'wrote' for SNSD had its lyrics rewritten or something.
Yep, actually Sooyoung of SNSD wrote them herself infact... And for the Chocolat song, she was only one of five people involved with the production. This girl is a nobody person and these comments pretty much ensure that she will remain a nobody...
Also, it's kinda interesting that she hates Caucasians too since Chocolat is known for being a group where almost everyone is biracial or otherwise have connections to the west...

Yikes... There have been people that have had their careers and public image by a accidental slip of a tongue or pure misunderstandings... But this one... I mean, she just goes on and on and on... And it's not exactly subtle... About as subtle as a chainsaw to the face...
Kinda feel bad for Chocolat though... SNSD will be fine obviously but Chocolat... With all the set backs they've had thus far in their short career, having their current promotion single being written by an insane genocidal super racist is so totally not what they need right now...

When did the US go to war against China? I mean, they were both involved in both the Korean and the Vietnam War... But in neither case they were a direct war against China... And in Vietnam the US most certainly lost while Korea... Yeah, that "ended" more or less in a draw (the war technically isn't over though, it's just in seize fire mode)...

Actually, alternating doesn't work and will confuse you greatly cause the timeline doesn't match up at all at times... I wouldn't say ngirl's timeline is perfect, I have a different one I like more, but it's certainly better than just alternating.

Well, watching Angel and buffy at the same time certainly enhances the experience of both shows... It's like playing Suikoden II without having played Suikoden I. It'll certainly still be awesome, but also knowing about what's going on in the first game makes the second one better.
