Confessions on 2AM's I Wonder if You Hurt Like Me

They're back, as emotional as ever..

Tracklist:

01. 내꺼였는데 (You Were Mine)
02. 너도 나처럼 (I Wonder If You Hurt Like Me)
03. 추억 다 지워 (Erase All Our Memories)
04. 1초만 더 (One More Second)
05. 잘 이별하기 (How To Break Up Well)
06. 사랑해 사랑해 (I Love You, I Love You)

After over a year of inactivity in Korea, these boys are back with their ballads. I really missed 2AM because they really can sing, rather than a lot of doof doof music out there now.

Firstly, I absolutely love the MV. I don't usually like slow music, but 2AM really do it for me. Often, I get really bored with ballads, but the music and the video work excellently with each other. It sort of reminds me of B2ST's Fiction, right? Anyway I like how my Jinwoonie is the main character :)

My favourite songs are the title track (I Wonder If You Hurt Like Me) and I Love You, I Love You. I also quite like the vocals in How To Break Up Well.

This album is pretty good, but my absolute favourite 2AM song is Jalmot Haesseo or I Was Wrong. I hope they win something - it would be a disappointing comeback if they finish promoting without any awards all probs stolen by Big Bang :(

My K-Pop Song/Poem/Letter - Guess the Songs

 

Hahaha this might sound a bit cheesy, but I got bored in class a few days ago and decided to write my own K-Pop song/poem/letter with as many song titles as possible!

So how many song titles can you find?

Noona, you are so pretty, I like you the best.
Day by day, Your luv is like oxygen. Remember, I am your man. I know I did wrong, so I'll back off so you can live better. Someday, I'll take you away. You are my obsession, my beautiful target. Without you, I cry. I hope on one better day, I can make you smile. I'll be back on rainy days to be with U. There is no other love like this. I can't let you go even if I die.

You are number one, girl. Sorry sorry but I love you. You are a heartbreaker with your lies; a monster like the lucifer. My heart beats for you, it can't stop, won't stop. Around and around, again and again. I am not a lucky guy, but I am not alone. I can stay or I can change, but I can never let you go. Sorry I'm not Mr Simple, nor am I perfection or your superman. Please be mine. I'm calling you everyday. You are my virus, my beautiful hangover. I know I'll be in danger, but I don't care. In fiction and fact, black and white, up and down, little by little I will try to be the one. Baby don't cry, don't look so lonely. Everything will be OK. My shinee world would be lightless without your smile. You make my love, my kiss, my heart go ring ding dong.

Be my baby and marry me. I'll never be tired of waiting. Tik tok, tick tack I'm going crazy because of you. Why are you being like this? Before you go, just hug me once. You're a good girl, bad girl... just tell me your wish. Don't say goodbye, we always have tomorrow. Look only at me; you're in my head like a sweet dream. I want to be in heaven with you, let's fly to neverland. I can't breath; I don't want to be in love alone. I can't live without you. This might be our last farewell, but promise me you will do what is right. I can't get you off my mind. Good bye, good bye, my love.

How many songs did you find?

I hope you liked it; it was actually really good fun. I think it got worse towards the end; you can tell I was getting desperate haha

Confessions on the Best Male Idol Vocalist

Not long ago, JPOPASIA listed and ranked the Best 30 Male Idols with Singing Abilities, judged by Korean vocal trainers. The criteria involved TONE (10); TREBLE (5); SKILL (5); VOLUME (5) and  EXPRESSIVENESS (10). What do you think of the results? Agree? Disagree? I actually found this list quite accurate as it mentioned most of the singers that I believe to have excellent vocal ability.

No particular idol is missing, but I was surprised to find Big Bang's Seungri, SHINee's Taemin and Key, B1A4's Sandeul and Super Junior's Sungmin on the list as I thought their vocals weren't that notable. Anyway, what I did expect was everyone from 2AM, TVXQ and JYJ!

Confessions on the Sydney Kpop Music Fest pt 3

Indulging myself with photos and fancams :D

But nothing could be as good as going..

Actually, what COULD compare with the Sydney fest would be my special lineup for Melbourne :) :

• Big Bang
• 2NE1
• Infinite
• Teen Top
• Super Junior
• FT Island
• U-Kiss
• f(x)
• T-ara
• B1A4
• 2PM
• After School

 Haha I should just keep dreaming.. For the whole weekend, I've been going through my live concert collection to compensate -sigh-

Right now I'm just crying to MBLAQ's Cry because I am that epic.. Time is too slow for me baby XD

~Hey, stay, love is all over, try to back it out
Still can't believe that you're gone ~

Confessions on the Sydney Kpop Music Fest Pt 2

It's all over. Heck that was the most depressing 3 hours of my life, missing my chance in seeing the stars of Korea T.T

Okay I am seriously dramatising it. But I am heavily depressed and saddened by it all. I was totally heartaching for the whole concert, from 7 till 10 while Kara, TVXQ, B2ST, CNBLUE, SHINee, 4minute, MBLAQ and so many other groups performed.

Oh well. Now it's over, I should be studying for my exams :(

I so wanted to see TVXQ perform Keep Your Head Down, and MBLAQ doing Mona Lisa! And dance to Kara's Step.. and then scream to SHINee's Ring Ding Dong!

Gah, and there where so many empty seats! Next time we should have an Australian tour. Everytime a group says they would do a World Tour, Australia is ALWAYS ignored!

~Time will tell to my love~

Confessions on the Sydney Kpop Music Fest

TVXQ. SNSD. SHINee. Secret. Miss A. CNBLUE. 2AM. MBLAQ. Kara. B2ST. 4Minute. Sistar.

http://www.kpopmusicfest.com.au/

EOTOKKE!! It's sooo unfair. Why can't it be in Melbourne?!! Why can't it be in December?? Right now, in my head is Mblaq doing the Y dance in those hideous fluro outfits. This is just ridiculous.

I'm really excited for TVXQ though. Changminniee!! I love their new Japanese stuff with Duet and Superstar. I also really want to see Beast and SHINee muahahaaa.. Bad Girl. Fiction. Shock. Beautiful. VIU. Mystery. Kikwang lol. Why does life torture me? AND my SHINee boys - flaming charisma MINHO, Bling Bling JONGHYUN, dance machine TAEMIN!

I don't really care much for Secret or Sistar. I'm sorry, but I think it's difficult for girl groups to please people. They are either too cute (eg. A-Pink) or too sexy (eg. RaNia lol). But like half the crowd would be there for SNSD. They better sing The Boys.

From each group, if I could request 1 song, I'd love it to be:

• I Don't Know or Keep Your Head Down
• Run Devil Run or Genie. or maybe Hoot. No wait, GIRLS BRING THE BOYS OUT
• RDD, Replay or HER WHISPER IS THE LUCIFER
• Starlight Moonlight
• GOODBYE BABY GOOD BYE!
• LOVE Girl or Intuition lol YONGHWAA
• I Did Wrong. Jo Kwon, you are welcome to invade other performances my kkap king!
• Mona Lisa and Cry and then Stay then OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH YEAH YEAH!
• Step. Followed very closely by Mister. haha butt dance FTW XD
• Everything B2ST. Literally. It kills me to pick 1, so maybe.. Fiction
• I My Me Mine and Mirror Mirror! 4 minute slap 4 minute slap uh uh!
• So Cool

Despite having so many guests, I bet each group would do maybe 2 or 3 songs. Bleh. But there's a dance battle! Haha I sooo wanna goooo!!

Sorry for my massive confession/rant. I am very frustrated! When will this ever happen again?

I love it when my television shows Yunho and Changmin looking so hot keke..

~Don't think too much its simple~
