Kpop Craze!!

Of course, every week there is a kpop video released be it for a comeback or a debut. That's just how it is in the kpop world. The most anticipated comeback for me was by rookie group B.A.P. Yes, they just debuted in January, but they've recently taken over the kpop scene with their new song, 'Power'. At first, I didn't find it all that catchy, it definitely isn't that catchy compared to 'Warrior', however after the 2nd listen, it instantly got stuck in my head!! The video is AWESOME too!!! The choreography is AMAZING! There's something about BAP that draws you in, they all have different talents, they all have charisma, I think that's something EXO is lacking. You have to compare the 2 groups because they are the strongest rookies to have debut that left a deep impression since Infinite in my opinion. BAP is in your face, Bang Yongguk, the main rapper is extremely charismatic and he has TOP's raspy deep voice AND he writes everyone's songs. TALENTED. Then you have the second rapper, the maknae I presume, Zelo who is only 15 and his rapping skills are AMAZING, he's very fast!! Then you have the member Jongup who choreographs for them, he's an amazing dancer! Then Dae Hyun who is the main vocalist who is AMAZING bc he still sing live and do all that hardcore dancing. Then Himchan who is freaking hilarious and has a great voice and Young Jae who also has an amazing voice. Overall, they're great!! Perfect. They're in your face, and they don't really seem like rookies to me. Compared to EXO, that is still lacking in some categories. Overall as a group that don't match up well with BAP, they have Kai who is AN AMAZING dancer, seriously, and then DO who has a great voice. BUT THEY HAVEN'T SANG ON ANY MUSIC PROGRAMS YET. Everyone else kinda fills the void BUT, there's room for improvement and I can't wait to see that. I'm not dissing them.

Anyways, BAP is AMAZING, this video is charismatic, the choreography is memorable and difficult yet they still sing live. Major props.

Next, we have the wonderful return of my favorite group, Sunny Hill minus their member Jang Hyun who is in the military. For those that don't know much about Sunny Hill, basically their music is very quirky, it has a moral or story to it, it's deep, and catchy! They are very different from your typical kpop group, EXTREMELY different. But I LOVE THEM SO MUCH, seriously. Anyways, they returned with the song 'Is the White Horse Coming' or 'Princess and Prince Charming' or something like that. Basically it's about there's more qualities to look at in a man besides his look, us women don't have to be shallow. It's a good message. The song is really good, but I don't think it matches up to previous Sunny Hill songs, but I still love it!!! I mainly love the choreography and I FREAKIN LOVE YOU KOTA (sorry, she's like my ultimate bias and she's super cute and charismatic). The video is weird, just like typical Sunny Hill but it gets the point across. Def a song you should listen to and I'm trying to learn the dance lol

Last, we have SNSD's sub unit group, Taetiseo, comprised of members Taeyeon, Tiffany, and Seohyun, thus Taetiseo lol. The song is called 'Twinkle' and surprisingly, it's realllly good, except for one problem that I have but we'll get to that later. First off, these 3 are my favorite members of Girl's Generation including Hyoyeon(she's my main fav) but she's obviously not in it since she's doing Dancing With the Stars. Anyways, we have Taeyeon who is the main vocalist of SNSD and she's freaking amazing. Seriously. I always give her props. Then, my 2nd fav vocalist is Seohyun, she is also the lead vocal in SNSD and I absolutely love her voice bc she can sing Alto. Everyone in SNSD can sing pretty high, but I can immediately tell Seohyun apart bc her voice is deeper than the others. She's the maknae, but I LOVE HER VOICE I WANT IT. And then we have Tiffany, I love her because she's super pretty and she's from America so she has perfect english. I don't ever get to her sing much bc she's overshadowed by Taeyeon, Jessica and Seohyun, but this time I can actually here her and she sounds reallllly good! They need her charismatic appeal as Allkpop put it lol. This is a great subunit. Now, as for the song, it has a retro appeal. AND ITS AWESOME. Like, thank you SM for not making them sound like their last album or like a typical Super Junior song. THANK YOU. Thank you. I'm glad you've stepped out the box this year with SHINee and EXO, seriously thanks lol. The song is amazing, the video is amazing and showcases their inner diva I love it. BUT. I really don't like Taeyeon's high vocal riffs  and ad libs towards the end. Like it sounds like she's straining to get up there and I know she can do it, I don't know, it just DOESN'T SOUND right to me. I hate that part, like they should've lowered it if she was having a hard time. It's not like she couldn't do it, I just think it was forced. Jessica is really good at handling the upper register. Anyways, apart from that THE MINI ALBUM IS REALLY good, I never thought I would say that with SNSD, but I'm glad this unit was formed and I'm glad SM decided to listen to our complaints and do something different in 2012.

So far, these have been my fav songs that have come out in the past 2 weeks, there has been a recent comeback from U-KISS however it was a major disappointment to me so I won't even bother mentioning the video for DORADORA and the rest of the mini album. But stay tuned for more comebacks! Infinite will be returning!!!
