Members Faulkner Posted February 28, 2018 Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 I saw CL (who was just SERVING - I don’t think any Western pop star at the moment aside from Beyoncé has that kind of effortless bravado as a performer). I saw a little bit of EXO. They looked sharp, of course. Loved the 13-year-old guitarist doing Vivaldi. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted February 28, 2018 Author Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 (edited) I saw CL's and just part of EXO. This was a big gig for CL but unfortunately it likely wont do anything for her career. She still doing the same songs and still hasnt released that US album Edited February 28, 2018 by Cheap21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted February 28, 2018 Members Share Posted February 28, 2018 CL was good but I think YG let her down with the staging. There wasn't as much inventiveness in using the space as there was with EXO and the gong dance/jeeps entrance. I sort of wish Dara, Minzy and Bom had popped out like they did at the MAMAs a few years ago. YG stays ignoring CL and mismanaging her. I heard the company has gone downhill and is no longer #2 ranked in Korea. They are completely incompetent at promoting any of their acts. CL has the material but they are not letting her release it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted May 28, 2018 Members Share Posted May 28, 2018 Saw that BTS is the first Kpop act to have a No. 1 album on the Billboard Hot 200. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cheap21 Posted May 28, 2018 Author Members Share Posted May 28, 2018 (edited) Please register in order to view this content @Cat SHINee made their debut as a quartet. The song is good and I hope they have success but its bittersweet that Jonghyun isnt there. Im glad they didnt go for a dance bp but Im also glad it isnt a straight melody. Its in between which feels more appropriate. Not too upbeat but not depressing. Onew and Key's hair are tragic Edited May 28, 2018 by Cheap21 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted May 29, 2018 Members Share Posted May 29, 2018 (edited) Thanks for posting this! I too am glad the song isn't a dance track or a sad ballad. It also sounds quite 'Shinee'. However, it is bittersweet seeing them as a four. I hope this song and album gets lots of sales and downloads because I want Shinee to continue in its success! However, I did take a deep breath before playing the mv, because the loss of Jonghyun is still very much felt. You can sense it among the members too. Key and Onew's hair are sf tragic. I hate that Onew got the Ronald McDonald Orange -- how is this a good look on anybody?? Onew's dark, floppy, longish hair before this aberration made him look beautiful and they should have kept to that. Poor Key always gets the extra-extra look. /sigh Edited May 29, 2018 by Cat 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 Hello @Cheap21. Yes, it's a girl group, but I can't get this song by Blackpink out of my head! It has a slight 2NE1 feel.

Members Cheap21 Posted June 18, 2018 Author Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 I like BLACKPINK. I hacent been checking for them in a while bc YG wasnt doing anything with them. Glad to see they are finally putting out new usic. Ive been listening to SHINee's new music alot recently. They released the 2nd half of their album last week. One of my favorite songs on the whole thing is All Day, All Night, which they have been performing Wow, cant beleive its their 10 year anniversary. They still look young even though you got Onew near 30 Third part comes out next week 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted June 18, 2018 Members Share Posted June 18, 2018 I can't believe it either. Onew is almost 30? He looks 20. BTW thank you for posting that song. I really, REALLY like it. Makes me want to check out the full album (or at least what is out so far). Love the choreo of their live performance too. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted October 20, 2018 Members Share Posted October 20, 2018 As you know, I’m a Kpop novice, but I went down a rabbit hole last night and fell in love with a few songs (probably old hat for y’all).

Members Faulkner Posted October 28, 2018 Members Share Posted October 28, 2018 Heard this on the recent Kpop episode of The NY Times Popcast podcast. So good. The rest of the album is wonderful as well. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted November 4, 2018 Members Share Posted November 4, 2018 @Faulkner @Cheap21 EXO just release a new album, and their comeback single is Tempo. I have put a fancam of Kai doing the choreo to Tempo at the showcase, just because I think it is an incredible cam of one of the best dancers in kpop at the top of his game. You can really see the choreo with this, and his moves are so sharp and strong: Please register in order to view this content And here is the official mv: 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted November 5, 2018 Members Share Posted November 5, 2018 The top Kpop artists are always bringing it with the choreography and spectacle. Korea is the only place that is really serving it on all levels these days. Making the West look bad. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Cat Posted November 5, 2018 Members Share Posted November 5, 2018 I love the performance levels in kpop. I mean, it comes at a high price: these kids are literal slaves to the work. But my god, they come up with some amazing performances. I am a dance buff and have a real fondness for the stand-out dancers in kpop groups. EXO Kai is my favourite out of them all. Not just for his technique, but for the joy and passion that emanate from him when he performs. It's the same with a real great vocalist (like D.O.) and his vocal ad libs. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
