Noooooo
I tried donwloading their album for a listen and couldn't make it past two tracks
Maybe I'll just try their Greatest Hits as apparently they're all remasters

I was really drunk so perhaps I was a bit biased in my enjoyment
I think someone being drunk at an Aqua show goes without saying
Oooh, I'm going to Bestival this year! Don't know whether any of UK popgaf are going?
Discolusre, Paloma Faith, Basement Jaxx, London Grammar, Major Lazer, Sam Smith, Clean Bandit, SBTRKT, La Roux, MNEK, Sophie Ellis Bextor, Outkast. It's like a hews hew of the UK pop scene
Wait, this is actually true. The good sis needs to balance out this injustice next time.This is kind of tea, especially looking at the last few bans

So there is this really talented kpop group called Spica and I know a lot of yous are not here for kpop but they just released their music video for their American debut called I DID IT which means it's in English.
The video is not much but the song is cute.

They'll forget your name soon
And won't nobody be to blame but yourself yeah

Man... if BoA, Se7en and Wonder Girls weren't able to crack the US territory, then nobody will.
The song is cute, though, it's just that for something that was co-written by Oligee (Carly Rae Jesus, Bonnie McKee etc.) it sounds too K-pop-ish, if it makes any sense. It would do well in South Korea for sure, but I don't see it making any splash in the States.
But the no-budget video?
Burn it with fire.

They should have gone with their Pain Killer or Russian Roulette route.

Eau De Gaga coming soon to stain more of the Curry

Pain Killer would have been a better choice, I agree. Btw, I'm curious about their US plans. How did they even decide to release a song in English?
I remember when JQT signed a contract with a major label and then disbanded before they were able to release an EP. Wonder Girls disbanded soon after they flopped in the States. BoA and Se7en spent a lot of time in the States, learned to speak English fluently (just like Wonder Girls), and even with all the money thrown at them, they weren't able to crack the US market.
I think that most of those K-pop acts should try debuting in Europe first, it would be a safer bet. The US market is tough to crack for the UK acts, let alone Asian, which is sad, but it's just the way it is.
The majority of Americans still think all Asian people are Chinese. Kpop will never be respected over here and it'll just be another weird hobby like anime.
Poor Wonder Girls, they technically haven't disbanded yet but they might as well just pass the torch over to miss A.
True, most people cannot differentiate between Koreans, Chinese or Japanese people, so that's one of the reasons why K-pop will never be huge in the States.
I forgot to mention 2NE1 earlier, btw. I think that they were the only ones that could have made a major splash outside of Korea because of their distinct Western appeal - their attitude, clothes, and the songs they released were almost tailor made for the States. I wonder what exactly happened that the will.i.am-produced English album was shelved.
It was probably shit, wasn't it?

So did any of you flops listen to Speak Now???
There was a snippet called "Take the World On" which sounded promising (at the time) but now it's dated and Will.I.Aint got out in time before his career could crash and burn

European Royalty Inna has announced, via her Instagram, she is releasing an EP titled Summer Days soon. She posted the picture of the cover, which looks great. The EP is produced by her long term collaborators Play & Win.
Finally, I'm getting my summer playlist, just as summer is ending.

I Am Sasha Fierce is Beyonce's worst album and is single-handedly superior to any of Taylor Swift's two-dimensional ouput, so take a seat.
And yes I'm a fan of Speak Now
