I'll be first in line to get CL's new US album. I hate the name, but I'm sure there'll be some hits. Hopefully there's another bombshell like this one

But I also agree -- would've liked somemore 2NE1 too or something else from one of the other girls. I still love Minzy the best and want her to branch out. LOL

I'm SLAYED!!! OMG, obsessed from the first beat. I freaking love it & the song. I was shocked by some of the dancing but it was great. This is certainly a song & video that will garner her more attention in the U.S. Hope it goes super viral.

 

The video looks kinda cheap but it works, and the VFX & transitions made it very edgy and interesting to watch. When they added bling to her teeth. LOL.

 

Omg, and she even twerked. I'm done.

IA AllMyDays this song is so catchy and hooked me from the jump. I like the ratchet production style because it fits with the choreography, which is so extra! CL pushes the envelope when it comes to kpop and gets slated for it (for "not being Korean enough" and "copying the US") but this is her element and she gives it 110%. I had forgotten what a good dancer she is, too. Btw, she looks gorgeous.

I've been listening to it all damn day & showing everyone! Just the best! And the more I watch it, the more I love the production. I'm also in complete LOVE with the swaying intro and VFX; I just love the freeze frames, how the steady camera moved & then how the girls strutted inside :wub: So good.

the more I listen to it, the more I love it as well. I dont like that she raps Korean in there as I think that will turn off and/or confuse this new audience she is trying to bring in. She should have recorded two versions like EXO does, one for US and the other for SK

I like that she started off singing in Korean tho. I guess since I am already listening to these kpop songs in Korean and loving them (and I'm not the only Westerner doing that, judging by this thread!), I figure why not? Also it's a shout out to her Korean and American-Korean fans who were already supporting her before this debut. It didn't interfere with my enjoyment of this song.

I actually saw that last one before. I just got through watching the Beautiful Show in Japan and loved it. Loved that they went back to holding it in a big venue. Since this was from last year, a good chunk of the setlist was from Good Luck and they also managed to squeeze in some of the Japanese singles, Ive never seen them perform like I think I Love You, Adrenaline and One Day. My favorite part was probably Junhyung's solo stage as he did Flower, Slow and then a remix of Slow. Part of the show is on YT but too bad it has Viet subs

Is Dongwoonie at the end? He looks straight up Caucasian in that pic! lol Cheap I love your BEAST love. I've only ever seen clips of a few live shows from them, but what I like is that they never go for a set formula with the shows, they like to mix up the set and throw in new and different songs. You can tell they aren't doing things by numbers and, consequently, the variety allows them to invest more in the performance.

 

Hey CL fans, here is a BTS Making of the performance video. I believe the dancers are from New Zealand, most of Maori extraction, and they are the ReQuest Dance Crew. The director is also NZ:

yeah thats Dongwoon. I wonder if his mother ever told him who his real father is bc I refuse to believe he is 100% Korean. He's mixxed with some type of European, if I had my guess

BEAST's Japan site updated with new profile pics a couple of weeks ago to coincide with the release of the new song

I love that they all have dark hair even though Dujun's is sort of a dirty blonde. It feels rare to have Kpop boy bands like this bc usually at least one of them has blonde or some other unnatural color. The black/brown look is very sophisticated and suits their dressed up look

SHINee

BTW, I just saw their a-nation 2015 performance and I LOVED their outfits. So stylish. They all look good except for Keys. He should have worn pants like the rest

Dongwoon is still my fave but why does he look like the oldest one to me now? Thought he was the maknae lol

 

Thanks for sharing the BTS video Cat -- I've been on a Parris Goebel binge the past few days and am in lust. New Zealand is where it's at! OMG. Such raw talent and passion for the art of dancing. Parris is also in the video and the best one. I freaking love her now LOL

 

In this interview Cl went into detail on why she kept the song bilingual. Great, valid excuse

    • 5-19   You know what? I actually didn't dislike it as much the second time around. But tbf, I didn't hate it the first time either. It's already been established so far that RC's breakdowns can be pretty hit or miss. And I would say his average so far on this show has been 50/50.   Outside of Jacob vs Silk Press Sheila, it was all B/C plots. However, I got the sense that there was plot movement...something for better or for worse, RC does know how to do. And even within those plots, I felt there were so good character development moments.   What really stood out for me was Doug and Vanessa's last scene. FINALLY, they stopped dancing around it. And we got more information on what their arrangement truly is in terms of their marriage. Given the building toward it through Vanessa's sexacapedes and Doug's gambling storyline, it felt earned. And lest we forget...he still didn't tell her about his addiction nor what's going on with Joey. Meanwhile, Dani is slowly getting clues from seeing Vanessa with Joey one episode to seeing Doug in the middle of the afternoon on this episode. I don't see it as them shoving her into a storyline unlike Carly on GH if an example is needed, but it wasn't exactly organic either. Then again, the Vanessa with Joey scene was organic. Not the gambling stuff.    I did like it though. It was a nice spotlight for the Dani/Pamela friendship. And I also liked the idea that was mentioned about a Pamela vs Vanessa feud. After all, regardless of what's written on the page, they both appear on screen to be close to Dani. And I find it relatable to see two friends have issues when they are close friends to the same person, but NOT to each other. And their scene with Diego was ripe with tension.   Just cuz...HEY, DIEGO, HEY!! lol.   I loved Jacob vs SilkPress. The web that girl stays weaving continues to be fascinating to watch. I know we have discussed at length about how long SilkPress can stay on the canvas. As soon as it's figured out what she's done with Laura and allegedly Eva/Kat, it's OVER. And such a soap find...it's fascinating to watch a crafty villainess worming her way around getting caught. Which is giving old school soap. I also love that in her worming her way out of the charges, no one is being dumbed down to keep her on the canvas. So this next turn in the story is great, refreshing, and probably should be studied by other soaps.   I enjoyed Dani and Andre. Again, it has had a build. And technically if we are going there, it's about to be three months. Usually three months is the perfect time to start having the 'what are we' conversation...whether someone is casually dating or just being a booty call. And that look Andre gave Dani when she said Bill's name...oooooo he's finally over her talking about him and showing a sign of possessiveness. It's also not lost on me that his reaction to her saying her reasons...was to leave. Big uh oh for them. Where will Dani/Andre go next?   Well...look who got comfortable enough in his role that he gave some good acting aka Tomas. I liked the scenes with Tomas and Kat on a second watch. But I don't think Kat's wrong with what she said. She's so busy and focused on Eva though, she's ignoring red signs with him I am afraid.   And speaking on comfortable...look at Derek trying to act. lol. Personally, I thought both actor and actress did good jobs. And again, it's had enough of a build, you knew it was coming. And I'm surprised to type it, but I was Team Derek for that argument. He was trying to make her feel better, and it just made things worse. And Ashley was being unsufferable. How was he to know about the curry? And of course, she runs right into Andre.    Decent cliffhanger though I'm a firm NO to Andre/Ashley versus me being open to it at the start of the show. Wow...how things have changed.
    • IMDB credited that episode to Bill Bell and Pat Falken Smith, too, so obviously way off!
    • Sonny and Carly look ridiculous with this child thats the same age as Michael’s children. Maurice literally looks like he’s babysitting a grandchild but instead she’s calling him daddy.
    • Several legends here. Like @DRW50 I grew up knowing Joe Don Baker first and best from Mitchell (and his other infamous MST3K appearance, the equally hilarious Season 10 episode Final Justice - there were funny rumors he wanted to beat up the MST gang after Mitchell, while others claimed he actually took it all in good fun). I only learned later what a great actor and personality he truly was in things like Cape Fear, The Living Daylights and the original, strange and mystical BBC miniseries Edge of Darkness, where he played a CIA operative laughing in the face of nuclear annihilation. There's nobody like him. Same goes for George Wendt. Norm speaks for himself, as does Cheers. He'll never be forgotten as long as there's still television.
    • I want SHELLE to be friends, like Belle is friends with Philip.  It will always be awkward, but they've known each other since high school (24 years ago).  And it has never worked out for them romantically. One assumes Shawn-D could've used a computer at home (or Black/Patch), to continue his investigation. So, why did he show up at the Pub after he lied to take PTO, and then lied directly to Jada's face about being sick?  Unless, of course, it was just a totally inorganic, nonsense device to run into Belle. When is Johnny's first day of work?  He got the offer, met about the offer, talked about the offer.  When's he actually going into the office?  And does he own a suit (other than the red devil one)? I liked that Chad had to rule out EJ for having Philip beaten because of what happened with Rex vis-à-vis Kate, that's a cool linkage, especially because I think everyone forgot to say goodbye to Rex. 2 Questions: Is it the next day, or do Sofia, lil'Rachel, and Ari share a birthday?  Also, I missed it, how old is Ari? Did everyone skip prom?  Because I thought Prom coincided with Sofia's birthday. And what was Javi's dream job in Florida?
    • I always had the impression that Blake turning out to be Christina was a storyline switcheroo after they decided to bring back Roger. She used to talk to someone on the phone and it sounded like it was a younger sibling. Maybe originally they were going to be Spaulding cousins, like Johnny was a Bauer cousin? I'm pretty sure in the Spaulding backstory Brandon had a brother.  LOL. Nola was established as the youngest, the name Chelsea doesn't fit in with the other Reardon sibling names, AND she had a very prominent Southern accent. Kassie would have been more believable as a Lewis or a Shayne. Plus, the character was boring as heck. 
    • Is JM making the booty pop too? BtG has all the males shook.
    • 5-15   OMFG!!!! Dayyyyyummm Nick!!! I see the costume designer pinpointed that fitted outfit all the way down for me. WOOF!!! And Audra in the yellow dress. When she sashayed into Crimson Lights in that yellow looked hot AF, even I did a double take. ZS was giving. I kinda like Claire's, Nikki's and Victoria's outfits, but those ZS and JM fits were the standouts for me.   That said...for an episode where nothing really happened...I actually enjoyed it for the first time this week as a whole. I guess it has the slight hint of plot movement. Nikki and Victoria being worried that Claire didn't want to move in with Kyle. Kyle being a little toooooooooo flirty for my liking with Audra and fall of double entrendres with her AND Claire...signaling he is so about to do something stupid. And then there was Jack, Diane, and Kyle's pow-wow and figuring out that Victor was behind Audra's company. Then there was just Holden stalking Audra per usual.    Audra scheming is always going to be fun. And I do hope she best Kyle. Well at least without actually sleeping with him. I am wondering how Holden will factor into that whole triangle now. Wild card?
