Confessions On The MelOn Music Awards 2012

Following MAMA, another awards ceremony has just taken place, namely, the MelOn Music Awards.

Firstly, I'm just gonna go ahead and say how much I liked MelOn compared to MAMA.

Even though it's not as big a deal, I thoroughly enjoyed all of it.

Now, I must admit, I missed almost half of the red carpet but I gathered enough from what I saw.

Which, admittedly wasn't a lot... since I couldn't understand what the MC's were saying anyway.

I was pretty startled during the awkward complete silence every time the idols were being photographed though...

The line up of the red carpet was:

Dynamic Duo

Julien Kang

Simon D

K.Will

B.A.P

Huh Gak

Ailee

Kim So Hyun

INFINITE

B2ST

Seo In Guk

HaHa

SISTAR

A-Pink's Eunji

T-Ara

Kim Yoo Jung

2NE1 

Red carpet footage can be found here.

The MCs of the night were INFINITE'S Woohyun, B2ST's Gikwang, Moon Hee Jun and Danny Ahn. 

First off, I think they did a spectacular job running the whole event (even though I don't understand most of what they said)...

The line up for the performances were:

Simon D, Rhythm Power & Dynamic Duo

K.Will feat. INFINITE's Dongwoo and Hoya

B.A.P

T-Ara

INFINITE

SISTAR

Nell

Ailee and Huh Gak

2NE1

B2ST

WOW. Ok, first of all, AMAZING. SO GOOD. Seriously enjoyed it, much much better than MAMA.

INFINITE, SISTAR and B2ST left my jaw hanging. My three favourite performances of the night.

Honestly, I thought all the stages were amazing and well thought out and interesting.

Except... T-Ara's... I'm not sure what their concept was or if the song choice was bad? But I was really bored and uninterested in their performance and actually swapped tabs to Tumblr to see what was going on there. Actually, the other idols looked pretty bored too.

I loved SISTAR's little video skit at the start. Creative, relevant and oh, so sexy! (unfortunately the skit is not shown the the video above).
And 2NE1!!! Omfg. I actually like near cried during their red carpet. I haven't seen them in sooooo long and damnnn Bom. So hot, you make me tear ;___;

Ailee and Huh Gak's collaboration was beautiful as well.

Confessions on October - November K-Pop songs

I'M STILL ALIVE.

Just not as active..
mianhe mianhe mianhe mianhe TT.TT
so much good music, so little time.
SO I shall compress and express it all in this one uber massive post!

BEHOLD.

LUNAFLY: HOW NICE WOULD IT BE

 ok so pretty much every Lunafly song is fantastic baby~
like seriously, as a vocal group they make beautiful music.
REALLY similar to Phantom who made their debut a few months ago with Burning.
It's kind of refreshing to hear k-pop without the typical dancing and doof doof sounds but rather real and soulful notes that make good music and a song with meaning.

AKJFHAKJLHLDSA
AYO LUNA. OMG.

SO I MEMORISED THE ENGLISH VERSION (Superhero) OF THIS SONG AND LISTENED TO IT LIKE 10457920578203750982 ON REPEAT K.

OK SO (from left) YOU HAVE YUN, TEO AND SAM (who's half British)
Not gonna lie. The first time I watched this I was all like OHMYGOD.
REN (Nu'Est) IS THAT YOU??
but then I was like lol no. ur not ren. or hoon in stop gurl.
Teo pls.
That hairstyle already gives me nightmares.

Question though..
Why are these guys not being marketed? Why are they not on music shows? Why do no one know them? Like WHAT?

I'M ACTUALLY SO HAPPY THEY'RE COMING AROUND TO AUSTRALIA NEXT YEAR BUT JK IT'S IN SYDNEY (like always)
SO THE PROBABILITY OF ME GOING TO ANOTHER STATE AND PAYING $200+ TO SEE THEM ON STAGE FOR 3 MINUTES IS LIKE
0.01%

BIGSTAR: THINK

I only got into Bigstar after this mini album and it has been one of the best albums songwise this month. Everything is just composed wonderfully.

CHINCHA AWESOME.

I don't know much about their live performances, but I can always listen to song no matter what.

EXID: EVERY NIGHT

 

I don't understand this MV... at all.

I don't get the gas masks

or the spitting

or the pepper/chilli whatever

or the test tubes

 

but I love the song :D

Probably my favourite female rookies omg LE's rapping sooo so so good!

 





RANIA: STYLE

THEY'RE BACK.

ok ok ok Rania were awesome with such tracks as Dr Feel Good and Pop Pop Pop.

Now we've got STYLE.

Down to 5 members, they are still a pretty strong group.

The MV and production is all YG with seriously blunt lyrics courtesy of Mr Tablo.

I actually really liked this song, the 'Runway Runaway' part is sooooo damn catchy :)

 

AILEE: I'LL SHOW YOU

 Ailee won her first award  recently with her comeback song I'll Show You.

The MV features MBLAQ's G.O who plays her love interest and is sort of a retard for rejecting her and then wanting her back after she transforms into the sexy stylish diva Ailee...

the song is decent but it took a very long time to get used to the disco chorus bit... I think I'll stick to Heaven.

Also check out her new song Evening Sky which is currently promoting the movie 'Now is Good'!

MISS A: I DON'T NEED A MAN

 honestly... this song is annoying D:

It just wasn't as powerful in choreo or concept as Touch, nor was it strong vocally.

It had potential, but even the live performances didn't appeal to me very much..

idk I LIKE Miss A but this song felt inept and a little clumsy in composition.

Songs that I really love though in this 5th project album is Time's Up and If I Were a Boy.

TOXIC: LONELY

 I LIKE IT LIKE IT LIKE IT.

It's so nice having real bands in K-pop omg

ok this duo are HOT.

and TALENTED.

and SEXY.

THE WHOLE FIRST ALBUM IS JUST SO PERFECT. TAIWANMEI.

I just recommend everything, seriously. It's so so so good!!

 

B.A.P: STOP IT

TS. 

IS IT REALLY NECESSARY TO HAVE LIKE 1309472309582 COMEBACKS?

ok so

HAJIMA.... It's very similar to Crash (although I preferred Crash over this)

Like yeah I was genuinely surprised when Crash came out because I thought it was a one off thing for their repackaged and the closing to the end of the year but nooooo.

They come back with this.

And yes.

I mean, it's cute the first time.

But really, just go back to your DOKRATHI MAN VORRIOR ARGHHHHHHH days.

No more cutesy.

Jebal 

 

GIRL'S DAY: DON'T FORGET ME

I'm not big on Girl's Day but this song is actually quite nice.

Just anything but Twinkle Twinkle or Oh My God or the sickly sweet pinky fluffy cute cute aegyo-ridden girly concepts is fine with me.

I love the verses even though they are heavily autotuned but still :D

TAHITI - HASTA LUEGO

I didn't really get into their debut song but Hasta Luego is uber catchy :D

the MV is a tad... how do I say, low budget?

very very dark lighting..

about 90% autotune but hey, autotune can sound nice  i think

HYUNA: ICE CREAM

Need I explain?

Just something else to contribute to Hyuna's repertoire of sexy sexiness~

NS YOON-G: IF YOU LOVE ME ft JAY PARK

Ok I found the ending super creepy in a stalkerish way.
like, I mean the whole gallery of guys on her wall..

It's sorta like Jay Park and all his pics of girls in Girlfriend...

Besides that it's a great song, always love Yoon-G and her awesome vocals.

Confessions on Ailee's Heaven

Hands up if you knew about Ailee before Dream High 2!

Recently, former YouTube star Ailee released her debut single titled Heaven. She has been a trainee of Korean artist Wheesung and has covered many English songs that are now on YouTube and many other websites:

I LOVE THIS SONG. I also love Kikwang ;) but she seriously can sing. People say that her vocals is similar to Charice's in that it's powerful and emotional. But I think she is really preeeetty. Plus she is from New Jersey, so she speaks English and Korean, and can sing, rap and dance. It feels like another G.NA...

So now she is acting in Dream High 2 along side Kang Sora, Sistar's Hyorin and T-ara's Jiyeon. She is a really spectacular singer, so I hope she gains more popularity in the future.

I now leave you with concept photos from Ailee's Heaven Single.
