Confessions on PYL (Premium Younique Lifestyle)- MAXSTEP

For practically every diehard SMTowner, I think the ultimate wish is for an official SMTown collaboration. Well, THIS is what you’ve all been waiting for! Remember that short clip that Kai, Eunhyuk and Taemin danced to at SBS Gayo Daejun in 2011? Well after about a bajillion years of waiting (trust SM), they FINALLY released the full song.

Even though it’s a promotion song for Hyundai and SM’s collaboration, it still doesn’t stop this song from being completely epic (in my opinion at least). It features Eunhyuk of Super Junior, Henry of Super Junior M, Hyoyeon of SNSD, Kai of EXO-K, Luhan of EXO-M and Taemin of SHINee. The group itself is 5 guys, 1 girl and 6 members in total. Does that sound familiar to anyone?

THE SM AVENGERS!!!

 

OH YES! ;)

Ok, to the actual song. If you’re like me and you don’t mind dubstep THAT much (I don’t like all dubstep ok), then this song should be your song; if you can get past the over processing. Seriously. Hyoyeon practically sounds the same as everyone else because of how much they processed her voice. :/

Since it’s from SM you can’t escape the SM flair. Maxstep is like a cocktail mashup of TVXQ’s Keep Your Head Down and Catch Me meets SNSD’s The Boys and EXO’s MAMA.

Also another characteristic of SM songs… the ENGLISH! WHAT THE CRAP IS MAXSTEP SUPPOSED TO MEAN!? I don’t know how this is supposed to advertise a car but for some reason it reminds me of Max Changmin…. >.> Apart from the nonsensical title, pronunciation doesn’t work in their favour, which the processing doesn't complement either. For starters, the first time they say Maxstep in the beginning of the song, I thought they were saying “let’s dance”. That’s how bad it is sometimes. The rest of the times they say it; it ends up sounding like “dubstep” or “next step” or practically any other word or phrase that ends in “step”.

Admittedly most of them aren’t known for having the strongest vocals in their respective groups, but rather I think the main selling point of this song is the performance and the dance, which is fine for a group comprised of the dancers of the groups.

The teasers for the supposed MV for Maxstep. 

Part 1

Part 2

OH MY!!

My only comment is that who doesn’t want to see sexy guys and a sexy girl draped over sexy cars? ;)

 

Can we get more SMTown collab songs SM? PWEASEE!!??

 

UPDATE:

The Full MV has been released! :D

Confessions on May - June K-pop songs

I'M STILL ALIVE.

Sorry I haven't posted in god knows what. My life at the moment is crazy. I now have the sudden enthusiasm to blog again but I missed like everyone's comeback during my hiatus.

GIRLS GENERATION: TWINKLE

Oh. My. God. EXOOOOOOOO

Why is Tiffany so perfect??

I hated the guts out of this song at first, stealing all of Infinite's wins >:(

But then I sorta grew to love it.

Favourite song of the album is Oh My God. especially the special dance stages with Hyoyeon and Sooyoung.

It's a horrible concept though...

JJ PROJECT: BOUNCE

JB, let me marry youu!

Ok all honest truth I never got round to finishing Dream High 2 because almost everyone on earth told me it was really bad.

But the song is seriously good.

Has the Bang&Zelo Never Give Up vibes in regards to music and MV though.

G.NA: 2HOT

G.NA. TAKE ME, I'M READY ;)

Okay the singing is so-so but the piano rift at the beginning is awesomeness.

Oh god those fire fighters are HUGE.

One thing I hate are her lenses, they make her look uber scary O.O

JUNIEL: FOOL/ILLA ILLA

Usually I get angry when Yonghwa is paired with other people but I like Juniel.

She sounds like IU and is really talented.

Really great debut album; I wonder if she will ever dance in the future lol

WONDER GIRLS: LIKE THIS

Sunye and Yenny look the same, no joke.

Like This is not everyone's cup of tea but it's stupidly addictive.

Questioning my sexuality as I fall for Yubin.

In love with the song Girlfriend, abusing reply button on iTunes.

U-KISS: BELIEVE

My body is ready for the day U-Kiss wins on a music program...

DALMATIAN: E.R

Everyone is so incredibly tank, they look photoshopped.

I wanted them to perform live shirtless but my wish didn't come true.

Had a heart attack when I watched the MV for That Man Opposed and realised they were the same group.

Youngwon needs a haircut. For a moment I thought Dalmatian had 4 guys and 1 girl.

Simon has entered my bias list. Welcome and hope to marry you one day :)

HELLO VENUS: VENUS

THIS SONG IS SO DAMN CATCHYYYY

Can you see NU'EST? kekeke

MYNAME: HELLO AND GOODBYE

Gunwoo's eyes are so bloody massive he looks like Heechul :S

I like every song on this album except Hello and Goodbye.

Chaejin is so effing pretty. Plus he is a '95-er.

Never thought about how painful it would be to get shot in the boob before this MV.

Still like Messeji more.

XIA JUNSU: TARANTALLEGRA

Kids, you just witnessed the sexy magic powers of Kim Junsu.

So much thrusting and sexual innuendoes.

Seriously, this MV can cause nosebleeds.

BAEK JI YOUNG: GOOD BOY

For the ripe age of 36, I think she still has it.

Junhyung, your Engrish is daebak. 

BIG BANG: MONSTER

GD'S MUSHROOM HAIR.

OH MY GOD THEIR EYESSS

A-PINK: HUSH

Hated this song so much but I grew to like it.

Better than My My.

Dance is like Miss A's Touch.

Overload of pinkness T.T

TEEN TOP: TO YOU

I'm going through that phase when I'm attracted to pretty much every member.

Oh Changjo..

I like it when they body roll :D

Listening to: Big Bang - Bingle Bingle



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

listening to: CN Blue - Where You Are

Confessions on Debut Songs

Recently, Allkpop released an article titled "How long does it take for idols to reach #1?" after Teen Top won their first music program award with their song Crazy. Netizens calculated that it took them exactly 564 days since their debut back in July 2010 with Clap, which has got me thinking:

What are the best/most successful songs that a group debuted with?



CN BLUE - I'M A LONER (15 days after debut)

Oetoriya Oetoriya... Yes in first place is CN to the Bluee! Taking their award after 15 days took the music industry by storm which makes me and many boices very proud. I am yet to approach any one who hates CN Blue which is great because they are real talent without choreography or auto tune.

MISS A - BAD GIRL GOOD GIRL (22 days after debut)

Second place goes to the girls of Miss A. After winning with Bad Girl Good Girl, Miss A have proved to be one of the best female dance groups in Korea. They are expected to make a comeback later in February which are making many A Classes excited :)

G.NA - I'll Back Off So You Can Live (꺼져 줄게 잘 살아) (28 days after debut)

G.NA got a head start in the industry after releasing a duet with Rain. Her first mini album Draw G's First Breath is really amazing and her vocals are seriously powerful. G.NA's recent songs like Black & White and Top Girl don't impress me as much as her ballads but I hope Cube would do more collaberations with their artists.

WONDER GIRLS - IRONY (28 days after debut)

2NE1 - FIRE (40 days after debut)

Mi mi mi mi mi mi mi michigo shippeo! 2009 was the year of 2NE1 and after their unofficial debut song Lollipop with Big Bang, they have dramatically changed K-Pop with their unique style. Fire was not my favourite song, but YG chose his members well. With such an electrifying debut, these girls have had the world in their palms, winning Girl Group of the Year, Song of the Year, releasing 2NE1 TV and performing on stage with reknown US artists.

FT ISLAND - LOVE SICK (55 days after debut)

BIG BANG - LALALA

And look how far Big Bang has come! Starting in 2006, Big Bang has consistently surprised us all with their style and music. It makes me a proud VIP to know that they are recognised worldwide after winning Best Worldwide Act at the 2011 MTV Awards. I don't know why but I get really dizzy after listening to La La La haha but these boys are truly daebak.

SHINEE - REPLAY (NOONA YOU ARE SO PRETTY)

SHINee's debut song Replay remains as one of my favourites, showcasing every member's talents. They really captured the hearts of noonas left right and centre after this track but they made great success with their recent albums. It really strikes me how young Taemin was at the time, being just 15 when promoting Replay... makes me realise what a failed 15 year old I was...

SUPER JUNIOR - KNOCK OUT (TWINS)

TVXQ - HUG

U-KISS - NOT YOUNG

Not Young made U-Kiss seem like such an innocent boy group, right? Then came Man Man Ha Ni. Then came Bingeul Bingeul. Then their innocent boy image became rare and almost non-existent. Truthfully, their 'cute' side never appealed to me. Except Dongho. I can never see him grow up hahahaha

SS501 - WARNING

2PM - 10 POINTS OUT OF 10

This debut made me feel somewhat uncomfortable. Oh that's predebuted G.Na by the way. These beastly idols have changed the least in comparison to other groups, but I didn't like Shipjeom Manjeome Shipjeom. I miss their I Hate You and Without U days...

B2ST - BAD GIRL

BEST. EFFING. DEBUT. EVER. Kikwang, let me marry you, really. They all look so ridiculous, it's absolutely brilliant. But I genuinely love this song and all their other title tracks from their mini albums. I love Yoseob's blonde hair. I love Dongwoon's "C.O.M.E". I love Junhyung's rapping and how it's the exact same as the Japanese version. I love their baggy pants. I love how Kikwang dances in a bathroom. This is top stuff, nuff said.

MBLAQ - OH YEAH

OH YEAH OH YEAH OH YEAH YEAH YEAH. I wish I could meet their stylist and give her a big hug. It's like Lee Joon is shirtless, but not shirtless, understood? It's great. But I truly hate their coloured costumes because it's just outright atrocious. In all truth, I hated this song. But it slowly grew on me to the point where it is now acceptable.

SNSD - INTO THE NEW WORLD

KARA - BREAK IT

AFTER SCHOOL - AH

F(X) - LACHATA

Listening to: Wheesung - Insomnia



Confessions on Christmas songs

I used to hate the guts out of Christmas songs. But I'm loving this album because of SUJU!! and INFINITE!! and all the fantastic artists who attempt to sing in English (who mostly fail..)
