^the beginning sounds a bit like Blink-182's 'What's My Age Again?'
The Sistar song?

That GOT7 song is probably the laziest debut song ive heard in a long while. Even Chrome Ent's boyband K-Much has a stronger song.
She also was the host of the Ailee episode:

Raina on tvN's Perfect Singer (Ep 18, 140103). She's super nervous in these because her turn is up next.

Ryan Seacrest has posted a Sistar music video on his blog before, so he might be reason it got played. Unusual choice of Sistar song though (from a western standpoint).

Same, she looks pretty and less like GD.
So EXO won the Dasaeng on the Seoul Music Awards.
Kind of predictable, the power of fangirls.
If SM continues to promote them as until now, I'm not seeing other groups winning, maybe only Big Bang. SM just needs to release albums and repackages.
Not even SNSD as a girl group cannot compete with that. Only if they do 2010 again.

Boring... the guys swept everything.
Congrats to them though.
EXO's AKB level fan signs certainly would help too. lol
SNSD actually did sell the most with the Boys in 2011 as well with only 1 sku/no follow up promotion, they did have like 8 fan signs for it though (EXO had over 40 for Kiss/Hug/Growl!) But I don't think SNSD is gonna do more than 1 or 2 per album now tbh.
I actually kinda figured Sistar would win for SMA. Every other year it's been a huge digital selling song that won (Nobody, Gee, Good Day, Roly Poly etc.) where as Growl just cracked the top 40.

Other is straight killing it.
Whichever PR man or woman cooked up that whole 'legend crooner comes back to classy up the kpop game' angle for Cho Yong Pil needs a big ass raise because nothing on that album deserves the accolades, sales, hype and awards. I know the dude has a history but some lazy leftover radio pop from European songwriter camps boosting his hall of fame standing that much? Cmon!

I thought it was a solid classic pop album in a pretty shitty year for kpop. Kind of a Phil Collins/James Blunt blend that is waaay better than many other Korean attempts at the same field. His style is also much more natural compared to all these tryhard ballad depressives you hear.
널 만나면 is hella annoying tho.

Lol Hot Coffee is strictly K-Pop GAF. It's why it's unlisted on Pastebin, me and ryan-ts just do it for the shits and giggles.
Speaking of which, excuse the delay btw. I'm terribly busy with school this semester, on top of schoolwork I also work in both the TV and radio dept of my university.
Thankfully, today's my day off and unless something big goes down on campus that I need to get my ass there immediately, I'm gonna sit my ass down and start writing chapter 9 lol.
Anyway, CYP's Bounce is sooo good. I first heard it when 9M covered it on SBS' Gayo... and it's in my top 10 lol.
That said, 2013 was a shitty year for K-Pop. IGaB set the standards too high early in the year that not many were able to reach that level haha.

CEO Jay Park will perform at SXSW; it takes place in Austin from March 11 to 16. Hopefully he brings Gray.
Some tracks are ok. But dude's nothing special.
Anybody remember VNT? They had a single called Sound (Ye Ye Ye) that flopped back in 2011. I kinda liked it. Anyway, Yumi from that group is debuting again (as SoYumi) in the new group Kiss & Cry who have their first single Domino Game coming out tomorrow.
Dia is also in the group. Teaser: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gina0JnhLuU

Nothing special is great compared to mostly boring shit.
She was the qt of the group and looks like she will be in this one too. Lil J was my fav and she had some serious beef with management and bailed. If I remember correctly they were a trio of friends from highschool or something, so that was pretty fatal to the group.

You know y'all are being stupid when even Heechul is droppin truth bombs. Girl's Day and AOA both tried different concepts and struck gold with the sexy ones. If people are buying other concepts enough to pay them off how does anyone expect that to continue? Face it: The loud ones aren't the majority who is buying music. Put your money where your mouth is if you want to see more innocent concepts. If people are buying sexy, all censorship does is regulate agencies/idols to losing money.
He's not on-point about AOA though - they didn't go for the band concept, that was a gimmick hardly utilized at all except as props - what they originally went for was a generic dance style- then they went the sexy seductive (Alone) route now and sell a bit more because that's the hot sound. Groups who stick to an actually unique style will win out for it. A female CN Blue FT island with a push as big will work. Or even better one with actual tunes.

Like CN Blue.
I think this is key to the concept working for girls, which AOA did not do.
As for guy bands, I think it's clear they think they don't need good songs to be successful.
Or course they did.
They are teasing with the outfits, and said "wait for our come back" lol
Who's the woman with short hair? Damn she's gorgeous. Never saw her before in the music videos. They look so much better as regular people.
EDIT: And Miso, that I always had a crush on, actually looks weird.
CN Blue are a shitty band, but they're still in band formation 100% of the time, even if they're miming playing the instruments on music bank.
Still calling it a gimmick after they've played live ? Lol.
But it is, because they never make use if it. I don't question their ability to play - but it doesn't matter when you have to go sherlock holmes on youtube to find any trace of it, then that's obviously not what's being sold to the public. So saying they tried and failed with that is wrong, they never tried it for real.
Uhhh the last vid of them on their official channel is them doing an acoustic with youna playing the key board.
AoA black is the band sub group. AoA are and always were a pop girl group. Same or similar concepts the whole time.
So. No. Not really.
You're delusional if you think their first few concepts are similar to their current ones.
They did try to sell them as a female CN Blue at first, then they realised it doesn't work when half the band can't even pretend to play an instrument properly.
So they created that sub group of people who can and then gave them an equally shitty pop song to perform, while resorting to sexying the main group up as much as they can to try and get people to pay attention to them.
YAY! I loved their 3 singles.
