The girls did the damn thing! Was not expecting this after the soulful ballad of Cold Rain. Looking forward to them performing both songs live. From the small bit I read of the mini-album, its really good. Better than the last which I was disappointed in

I didn't have the highest hopes for this because K pop girl groups don't do it for me. But this is by some distance the catchiest song I have heard in some time -- not just by a girl group but by any k pop group. Hyuna and Jiyoon killed the choreography, and I really like Hyuna's messy hair with braids. It softens her face. The black hair and red lipstick is of course gorgeous on her, but it does make her look older and a bit harder.

Love that they went a bit urban and hip hoppy and the Bollywood style chorus beat was awesome.

Jiyoon and HyunA are the MVPs of this EP! Jiyoon has improved as a rapper and this is right up HyunA's alley. Sohyun also stands out and not just with her new blonde hair. Poor Gayoon and Jihyun are almost out of their element bc they are not hip hop, but Gayoon manages to turn in some solid vocals. The song they are promoting with Crazy, Cut It Out is really good

Cut It Out is good but I can see why Crazy is the track leading this comeback. That song is such a jam! I never realized 4Minute's sound was like this -- I thought they were a more traditional, middle-of-the-road girl group. And once again, Hyuna's curly long hair with blonde highlights is slaying left and right. And I'm not usually a fan of blonde or blonde hybrids on K pop idols.

I read a YG press release over the weekend that Big Bang will come back in the first half of this year, as will Winner and IKON. :lol: I gues we will believe it when we see it, but at least we know that YG are planning for a Big Bang comeback this year.

Yes Hyuna' hair is everything. Im not a fan of the green color but I LOVE Jiyoon's new cut. It would look great if it was black with blue, red or purple highlights. 4minute were so much better in their early years but their material hasnt really stood out in the last year or two. Thats changing with Crazy though bc they are killing it.

Oh YG....whatever. I stop expecting much for them and their claims.

I don't know about you but I am anxiously awaiting EXO's comeback in March and right now there doesn't seem to be much going on in terms of K Pop releases. I am just counting the days and hoping that it doesn't suck, lol.

I was just thinking that K-Pop has been so boring this year so far and there's been an explosion of new material in the last 2 weeks

New Beast!

4MINUTE

4Minute's 'Crazy' EP Debuts at No. 1 on World Albums Chart

so proud of them. They deserve it bc Crazy is that damn good

Red Velvet

The girls are back with a new concept, new mini album and they prove that they are more than a one hit wonder. This song is REALLY good. Much better than Happiness. The song is proobably dumb but its catchy

They released not one, but two videos off the new album and this one is a slower ballad. Great vocals. Im not sure I like that they all went blonde. I cant tell them apart. Not that I could before,but they look like blonde Asian doll clones

Wooyoung from 2PM

Finally, Wooyoung released a Japanese EP. I like what Im hearing from this short teaser. I have alot of material to get through

RESPONDING TO YOUR DISTRESS CALL CHEAP

I was away on a work trip this past week or so and couldn't access this thread on my phone. Too many pics and YT vids! My phone is such crap.

But I have been keeping up with the imminent comeback! I am so excited!

All the teasers have been released now. They were so cinematic, I was really impressed. There wasn't really a dud one in the pack, although obviously I had my favourites. Kai (goes without saying) filmed in my 'hometown'. But stylistically, Suho and Baekhyun's were probably my faves, with Sehun and Kai close seconds. I found them quite powerful.

And then there is the music.... Well, I have only heard a couple of leaked songs so far. Call Me Baby was officially released yesterday, and it is a jam. I don't know whether I prefer K version or M tbh:

http://youtu.be/Gjye0aoRQFc

http://youtu.be/-xcpiFPG6xM

It doesn't have the impact of Overdose which was so original and like an electric shock for me, as a newcomer to k pop. But Overdose was intense and emotionally draining, especially after KrisHan left. But it is a bop and light and happy. I think this is what EXO and the fandom needs after last year, lol.

And Kai's opening in K --- buuum buuum buuum buuum buuum -- making me feel some kind of way!

This coupled with Red Velvet ( I *love* Ice Cream Cake and Automatic. Plus they got a new member!) and SNSD, Shinee and SuJu getting releases this year PLUS SM Rookies means that SM are letting YG know that they do not play. YG vs SM this year is going to be INSANE and I hope that means lots of great music. Especially from Big Bang.

BTW SM Rookies did a quick teaser dance and I really love it. I wasn't looking for a new group to stan but... if this song is part of their album, I am intrigued:

Finally -- I still think Crazy by 4Minute is one of my fave songs of the year so far. I am so glad they started strong! And I am really impressed by HyunA.

Glad you are back! Like with Overdose, Im not going to listen to the music until the MV drops. I hope they step it up bc their MVs are usually lacking. Good dance moves, but the videos themselves arent anything special

SME is on a roll right now. I need YG to come back big. April is rumored to be a comeback for someone.

Speaking of YG, I watched BIGBANG's X tour last night. Even though its the same songs they've been doing for the past 3 years, they know how to put on a show and each performance was different than anything they've done before. This show was bigger and splashier than their previous ones and IU loved how they remixed some of the songs and of course loved the costumes

And yes Crazy is everything. I still jam to it. its that good

    • Broderick, thank you for all of the info [I edited for space]. I am so grateful for everyone filling in the blanks for me. I suspected the Nora/Eliot scene was very important and it was setting something up but I didn't know what. Can't wait to see it play out. The two actors had such a great back and forth. I should have made the Paige/Patty Hearst connection. I thought Paige was in love with Brian from the first episode I watched but it seemed as if they were brother and sister. Steve kept being affectionate with her so I assumed he was the love interest. Then she was affectionate with someone else and well..she's a very busy woman. I can't wait to see Frances Fisher show up. (I'm trying to be vague because I don't know what would be a spoiler in this storyline) Now it makes sense why Draper would be upset. I didn't get the whole background of why he didn't go to NY. I'm a sucker for good acting, so I might still side with April and Margo, if the writers don't give Draper more to do besides yelling.  He had more chemistry with Logan, but I know that's not happening.  Something else I noticed: the show really takes care with even the smallest parts. The acting is superb. Too often, I noticed on older soaps they don't take care with the recurring or day players (Ryan's Hope was so bad with this that I couldn't make it through some episodes). It's only been six episodes, but so far, the casting department was spot on.
    • I thought Dante was overreacting.  Gio made some mistakes but he's young and he tried.  It's not like he dragged two 14 years to a party and made them get blackout drunk.  Dante can have the initial upset reaction, but to go on and on was a bit much.  
    • His (adoptive) nieces.  Chelsea and Stephanie.  I think Abby was involved too, but I am not sure if they are related lol.
    • That was such a dark story. I never liked Swamp girl after that. And then the dating your cousin thing. I think wasn’t Max in a triangle with two of his cousins?
    • Thank you, @j swift.  I'm probably more sympathetic to Draper Scott than most audience members are -- even though I'm absolutely CRAZY about Ann Williams & her bizarre Margo Huntington character

      The more I watch these episodes -- and I've watched several of them a zillion times, I'm ashamed to admit -- you realize there's a WHOLE lot of passive-aggressive hostility brewing inside Margo Huntington about Draper.  She wants to take April AWAY from him and recreate the childhood that she never got to experience with April, because of the adoption 25 years ago.  Draper has sense enough to realize how heartless and vindictive Margo really is about other people's lives and their feelings, but he bites his tongue rather than poison his wife's mind about how horrible her mother really is.  And I admire him for that.  He's a sweet boy.   
    • Unfortunately, as the 90s wore on, Felicia started wearing as many gray and neutral tones as Giorgio Armani and Donna Karan could produce, and the shoulder pads deflated to a drop sleeve.
    • I think Dante is reacting how most parents would react. 
    • 5-2   Lord... At least the week started off well...I think. I don't know where to start.   Oh, yes, I do. It was mostly background noise to me. There was nothing to the majority of the characters that were on. Meaning, it was mostly characters that I didn't care for or I've gotten accustomed to just FF-ing through. Or just zoning out. Even the possibility that Michael and Lauren might have a story was just meh simply because we have done this dance before and Lauren was coming across like Michael was working for Sonny on GH the mob.   The biggest thing I really took away from last week was that the new costumer designer has stepped up her game again. It didn't bother me at all, but I wish there was some drama with this fashion. I liked Claire's outfit, LOVE Nikki's. And I continue to like brighter colors on Nick though I hated those pants. And I could go on about the clothes misses like Billy in that short sleeeve, but I digress.   The only things that held my interest...   THE SICKENING OF COLE. As soon as he started to cough, I went uh oh. I'm happy to see he might be getting a story. And I guess it shows how much history I have with the character that I care. But still...ugh.   ALL THINGS AUDRA. I admit that I was taken aback to see Victor with her at Crimson Lights. When was the last time he was there? I want to say recently with Kyle/Claire, but otherwise I still found the scene taking me aback. But I like her being soft with Kyle who actually came across annoyingly flirty for someone that hates Audra. I actually can't wait for him to eat crow. And since Audra is now being used to drive a wedge between Kyle and Claire, I have to talk about...   SUMMER'S EXIT. Mmmm...mixed feelings. It don't seem half as bad as others appear to see it. Yes, if I didn't have the context, it still seem odd that her part in the Kyle/Claire drama was barely touched on. And she interacted with everyone I felt she should interact with. But in the overall context...I still didn't mind the exit. Though it was abrupt.    I did like hearing that Noah and Allie are still together. And don't get me started on the offscreen Mariah drama. 
    • I'm sure old Reva/Josh fans saw the writing on the wall--and this was their pattern. They (or usually Josh) was so angry that they'd spend months yelling at each other, and then "boom", they were macking up on each other, regardless of who else they were entangled with. (This is the couple who slept together under HB's roof while Reva was married to him, after all.) "Always". *gag me*
    • I don't think we've seen the last of Erica Kane. That's something I will continue believing in.
