I ont think it took that long. I even found an HD link this past weekend and it took less than a day for that to complete.

BTW, you DO want to save the link to this Beast Tumblr page. This blogger has a HUGE collection of Beast related videos and links. Its like my new favorite site.

http://beastvids.tumblr.com/

From 4Minute, also check out Hot Issue. That song is VERY catchy. I dont know any artists like GD and TOP, so Id just check out Big Bang. Other than the songs mentioned, a new one I enjoy is Heaven

Did you know that he just came out with his first solo album and that Junhyung produced it? Here's the video to the first single, Caffeine

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wj9MrM2eCvI

For a slower song, there's No, from the Poseidon soundtrack

Right now, It's straggling & is at 68%. Getting there I guess...cool.png

Thanks for that link!

He's so...not annoying. He freaking slays me & I'm not much into any popstars of his nature at all. "No" is amazing! Caffeine is pretty catchy, I will definitely have to check out his new album - that's awesome Junhyung produced it. Have you listened to the album and if so what songs do you like the most/reccomend?

Watching! Will update this post as I watch.

This is beyond cool. The opening was fantastic.. I love "Special" now! Loved their dancing...lol

OMG. OMFG. Yoseob hit the [!@#$%] out of that note on "Breath" again. AMAZING!! OMG. This is too great. I keep rewinding.

DONGWOON. That's all. But what's up with the side braids? LOL!

LOVED when Junhyung sang "Living Without You"

What is the name of that duet Doojoon & Dongwoon sang together after Junhyung did his performance? It was freaking beautiful.

Yoseob & Junhyungs "Thanks to" duet was amazing too (I must've missed the name of the other duet). Really catchy. They were cute w/each other towards the end of the performance. LOL. I had to pause and listen to a studio version.

This is too cute watching them serenade that little girl on stage. Like I'm crying a little bit right now. LOL. When Yoseob put his arm over her wub.png AWH!

Now he's giving her flowers too. The tears are flowing!

^ I had to collect myself after that last moment. Watched the rest & I'm officially obsessed now. The last songs were amazing, especially Bad Girl, Freeze, & You. They ALL have fantastic/versatile voices and they seem like genuinely nice guys & not douchey at all. Dongwoon cracks me the hell up; I understand a little more how he's the youngest of the group, he seems the most youthful & free spirited of the 6 and really plays for the crowd nicely. Same goes for Yoseob; There HAS to be a .GIF somewhere of him during the "You" performance when he had those pink glasses on, poked his cheeks and said "Beautiful" to the camera. That was f'ing great. LOLZ. Overall what a fantastic show, there wasn't one thing I didn't like. Thanks for referring me to that, Cheap!!

Yay! Now you see what I mean. I am TOTALLY OBSESSED with watching their live performances. Ive watched the Beautiful Show multiple times. I just watched the Japan Showcase and it was shorter but still gone. Ive been looking for a download of the entire Beautiful Show in Seoul but I cant find it posted yet. I see bits and pieces of it up on YT but I want to watch the entire thing in one block so Im holding off on that.

Did you know that Beast was considered the reject group? They have a stigma bc most of the members came from failed careers. Kikwang was a solo artist called AJ who didnt do well. Yoseob was his backup dancer. Hyunseung was in Big Bang but got cut before their debut. Thank god Cube Entertainment took a chance on them bc when put together, they have been amazing and really took off. They have such a natural chemistry and IA, are very versatile with great voices

tumblr_me895j9B1m1roa6y7o1_500.gif

Did you see Dongwoon trying to grind on Junhyung towards the end? Junhyung pushed him off and Dongwoon seemed a bit hurt. I loved Kikwang's dancing during that song. He REALLY got into it.

Yoseob did an amazing job with Breath but I also thought he killed it with Lightless. Its amazing how he seemed to be more background in their first song Bad Girl, but as time moved on, clearly became the lead singer, getting the high notes and doing all the chorus sections. He was usually the one up in front during most of the performances.

tumblr_m4oq96KU3Y1rpv4qao1_500.jpg

I cant find any pic/gif of him with the glasses but I did find this...lol

I didnt really care for Clenching a Tight Fist when hearing the studio version but Im a fan of it now after hearing them sing it live.

So what did you think of Should I Hug or Not? I was LMAO at Junhyung laughing while trying to rap. Such a genuine moment

LMAO at Dojoon going "Oooohh" when Yoseob was singing "You" to that girl.

I think Doojoon's song with Dongwoon is When the Door Closes

I LOVE Special and its bc of them doing it live. I cant beleive that never got a music video.

I'm finding them even more compelling to watch live. I definitely have to watch more of their concerts, clips on YT, etc. Let me know anything you find or have found that you reccomend & I'll do the same (if its something you havent already seen of course, LOL)

Did not know that. That's incredible! Their initial "failures" actually brought them together & led them to where they are today, and, well, it ain't half bad biggrin.png

I did not notice that at first glance. WOW! I just went back and looked. LOLZ! Dongwoon went straight in to him & he was like no thanks buddy laugh.pngsad.png That was a pretty harsh push.

But then, they both seem to be into each other here in this 'lil gif I found ohmy.pnglaugh.png

tumblr_mecdbbt4bA1rdxjrfo1_500.gif

If it's the one I think it was (some of the song texts were in Korean) then I REALLY liked that one

LOL cool!

Him & Dongwoon are awesome. Found this pic

tumblr_me6g8dM5ra1roa6y7o1_500.gif

YES!! Thank you! So beautiful.

I was instantly addicted. I think it's my favorite song by them now. I LOVE Yoseobs solo and the the chorus, as with all their songs, is so captivating.

His talent is out of this world.

Currently watching the "Welcome to BEAST Airline 2011" concert. Will let you know my thoughts as I watch ;-)

That was a simple, creative opening. I love how much effort was put into that and those awesome video name graphics. I think I'm gonna try to steal those. LOL

LOL at the inflatable B2ST airplane.

They're opening the show with "Special" again! This is my [!@#$%] wub.png

What's Yoseob even screaming (beautifully) when he hits that amazing note in "Breathe?" I gotta look that up. It gets me every time!

Not sure what they're saying, I think they might be introducing themselves, but this is cute. That was adorable the way Yoseob waved to the camera wub.png

Ok. After this I gotta dust off the 'ol Rosetta Stone software in my basement & learn some Korean. LOL

Bad Girl wub.png

What is going on in this Yoseob/JunHyung video package? They're acting like boyfriends! LOL.

I knew it was leading to this...THANKS TO wub.pngwub.png I can't express enough how much I LOVE Yoseob's parts in that song. Also I think this is a cooler arrangement of the song/performance compared to the Yokohama concert.

Yoseob just sang the chorus a capella. All I have to say is wow. No one sings better than him.

What were the two slow songs they sang after Lights Go On Again? Pretty good!

OMG...Dongwoon CRYING during "When the Door Closes" sad.pngsad.png That just made me a mess. He was so into that song & moment. Breathtaking!

During the "Beautiful" performance, I loved that little moment when Dongwoon put his arm over Yoseob and sang through the microphone. Can they make a duet together too? I mean come on.

OK, I had to take this screenshot:

ScreenShot2012-12-14at15127PM_zps1ada7d27-1_zps7ee399a5.jpg

LOLZ!

Love watching them perform V.I.U. They always get loose laugh.png

What was going on after the V.I.U performance? Damn I wish I knew what they were saying. Was that...the stomach game or something? What were they doing? And how come Dongwoon & Yoseob didn't show their stomachs? LOL.

    • OMG! Yes!! Best of the episode and double so after my rewatch. She got Anita ALL...THE...WAY...TOGETHER. I can't wait to get caught up and see Sharon.   Now you.  re: Samantha.   Same. I was so annoyed with Month 2 for stalling on Martin's Secret, but in hindsight...that was perfect because I got used to their characters and their lives so NOW I feel so much more invested when the Secret comes out. And how it's been done as a slow burn during May Sweeps with Bill toying with them keeps Bill in villain mode while giving organic conflict for Martin and Smitty due to what's been written for them building up to this month. Bonus...it's clear the actors are soooo much more comfortable with each other.    The one thing that I looove about Vernon is that while that is very much true what you said...when need be...he shows very brief moments of an edge. CHOOSE SILENCE...like BE STILL...lives rent free in my head. lol. I can't wait to use that on someone.  You wouldn't be alone in that. While not perfect...and haters are going to hate...if you get enjoyment even with flaws, why does anyone have an issue with Pollyanna? I see people are enjoying GH, and I have well documented reasons for liking and disliking it. And I don't at all hate on everyone who have been enjoying it and regularly watch it. It's like seeing a tweet you don't like on the Twitter. You see it, have no need to add to it, and keep scrolling.  Same. But tbf...is ANYONE screaming that now...or just naturally liking the show?  Same. But I am a sucker for bangs.  
    • The last thing I want on a new soap -- or on any soap -- is an actor thinking she's a kid in a candy store. I know Cady has plenty of fans, but I'm just not fond at all of all these accents (and accent changes) and tics. The show should INSIST she settle on a consistent character for Pamela -- now. The idea that these established soap actors get to play around like it's a game is bizarre. I don't like what she's doing at all, and the fact that I can't tell you what she's doing makes it even worse.   The hour does fly by, and I do enjoy the show. I'm no longer on a high with the show and screaming "I love this show!" though. That's not a bad thing. We can't forget we're still in the first 6 months and every soap had to deal with first-year struggles and changes. I'm willing to give GATES time on all of it. In the meantime, though, I have to call out the stuff that isn't working. Yo're exactly right about the editing. Those "sudden drop offs to commercial"? I hate them. I think they're awful and poorly executed in all phases -- the timing, the music, the fade itself. I have no idea what they're doing. I've said this before: I think it's intentional. It's not just one director, and it's clearly a production choice. I think they want to be "the different soap." Sorry, this ain't the place to do that. They have not only ruined scene endings galore with these fades, but they have ruined cliffhangers. Ending a show with something dramatic followed by an "Oh, well" fade makes no sense to me.
    • I'll say this much...for the most part...soaps WERE giving this Sweeps...LOL. I'm looking at you, BTG, DAYS, and YES GH.

          But knowing that, I really want to know...especially since I'm behind on at least two of those soaps lol due to work and faulty technology...how would you all grade May Sweeps this time?   A     B     C     D     F       To paraphrase Dani Dupree...the hottest level of Hades...?   How did you like Sweeps?    
    • 5-26   My system went down, but thankfully is back up. It's a shame that if I missed something, I just don't care. So May Sleeps indeed. smh.    That said...I found this episode intriguing. Yeah, it had a LOT of the characters that I didn't care about. And I know @slick jones probably glared seeing his man around that girl,

       but I will give credit where it's due.    It must be a sign there is about to FINALLY be story movement when we start to get artistic camera angles again...something that has been absent for a while. The overhead sweeping into the scene at the start of the episode? LOVE. Good to see Ed Scott is still around somewhere. And I loved what Phyllis had on and Amanda in the red. Claire continued to have her own style and Holden continued to look hot. And I continue to be in awe that the designer is trying her darnest to get Kyle from looking so stuffy but still keep him suited.    Everything Audra continued to intrigue. And I continue to feel that Kyle is totally going to fall into her trap because he is much too cocky. Holden is a great wild card, but I don't like him hinting that perhaps Audra actually have feelings for Kyle. THAT boat has sailed and would have been better used when Summer was around. Besides I love Audra with Nate.   Phyllis vs Sally will always be awesome. And they were both giving great lines.    I could care less for Billy.

    • -- I agree that the vibes are there, but I can also make the case that it's a pale imitation. That Neil Winters Lounge is already a pretty classy place, but the decor make it look tackier. Those Happy Birthday signs are tragic in design and color. The tablecloths look like they've been chosen by Helen Keller. Where is Claire? We hear stupid reasons for her lateness, but we all know it's because this show is too cheap to pay for too many actors in any one episode. It makes NO sense that Victoria has that toast to Nikki without Claire's presence. And where is Cole? Off coughing somewhere? -- The rest of the show was watching people open their black invitations from Alexander Dumas -- for a party on June 13...TWO WEEKS AWAY. So we got through the entire sweeps and still no Dumas? The big sweeps reveal is a party in France in 2 weeks??? Why anyone thinks this is good soap is beyond me.  
    • Chandler Massey smirked in EVERY scene in which he appeared. He's not a good actor. He cannot get into character, ever, and plays every scene like he's Chandler running into an old friend on the street. I hate it because actors should take their work seriously and respect it and everyone around them.   It's all so real, to the point where there's no sense trying to separate Drake from his character. I snarked a lot over the years about Drake Hogestyn's acting -- very arch, lots of tics, over-the-top at times -- but I also think he was a great soap star. There was so much humanity in everything he did, and he was always a comforting and stabilizing force on screen. Flashbacks on soaps are almost always special and fun, but does anyone come across as more loving and filled with humanity than John? I don't think so. DAYS has suffered a lot of loss in the past few years. For me, this one hits the hardest.
    • “I’m not a lifelong soap fan, but I sure am now,” Wolf tells PEOPLE about creating the documentary Soaps, which includes deep dives into the biggest and most successful soap operas in the industry, with a strong focus on The Bold and the Beautiful. “It reflects, in a broader way, the cultural significance of soap operas and the incredible task involved in bringing these stories to the screen every day.”
    • I have this for the 4th act on 11/9/88, which per my files, is the first time John and Stefano are in a scene together: Limo (Roman, Diana, Stefano, Milo) Then their second time together is 11/17/88 in the second-to-last act: ON LOCATION: Beach & Cliff (Diana, Roman, Stefano) I'd have to check the 2016 logs, so I don't know who shares scenes as easily in this year, but these are the last 4 episodes that John and Stefano were both in together: 1/8/16, 1/11/16, 3/1/16, 3/2/16.
    • I'm going to respond to you about this show. I've been accused of hating on it for some reason or another. But as a 53-year-old black man I do not hate this show at all. It heavily represents people like me, but I want it to be treated well and not just pushed with half-assedness, which is what I feel has happened on several occasions so far. Bad editing, bad cliffhangers, or no cliffhangers at all, disappearing characters with dropped storylines, etc. I can understand shows no longer wanting certain characters or  storylines, but why the "Judy Winslow" effect? I'm really finding it weird that Jacob doesn't mention his father or his detective partner. Jacob was smack dab in the middle of them both.
