Korea represent
Thursday, December 27, 2012 @ 6:46 PM | 0 Comments

Now before any of you say anything about us not being Korean and how it does not in any way relate to the issue at hand, I'd just like to put it out there that I'm posting this as a fan of K-music and am proud of the fact that K-singers are making it to international based lists.

What I'm referring to is the 23rd Annual Independent Critics List of the 100 Most Beautiful Faces 2012. The title says it all, so why am I so excited? Because not one, not two but three snsd members made it to the list as "new entry". On top of that, IU got selected as well, along with actresses Song Hyekyo, Nam Gyuri, Go Ara and Gianna Jun.

According to TC Candler, "Unlike many other annual publications, The Independent Critics List is not a popularity contest. It is not about the sexiest or the most famous. Rather, it aims to be a very international list and one that is inclusive of many cultures, lifestyles, professions and degrees of fame. The Independent Critics List intends to inform public opinion rather than reflect it. This list searches far and wide, listening to the millions of suggestions submitted every year, and tries to put together a list representative of the modern ideal of beauty. Aesthetic perfection is only one of the criteria. Grace, elegance, class, poise, joy, promise, hope... they are all embodied in a beautiful face".

I was looking through piano covers the whole day on Saturday and I just fell in love with practically all of them. It made me want to play the piano again, and it's quite sad that there was one point in my life where I hated it so much. I think the main reason was people constantly nagging me to practice for my exams, and I just didn't think it was something that was necessary to do. Playing to pass an exam I mean.

Upon hearing these k-pop covers however, I'm itching to play again, and get my hands on some score sheets. These will be definitely used while I'm doing my work!


Taeyeon's Closer:

 

T-ara's Day and Night:



 Secret's Poison:


KARA's Pandora:



I'm going to make my sister play this with me! hahaha it's going to be so funny trying to learn it.

And last, I sign off with a video that's not a piano cover, but a little stage duet of SHINee's Taemin and IU I found on my surf on youtube.

Davichi and 2AM singing 2AM's confession of a friend and Davichi's 8282

2AM's Jokwon, Kim Jong Guk, SNSD's Taeyeon, a lady that has an amazing voice I don't know her name sorry, CNBLUE's Yonghwa, SNSD's Jessica, singing Josh Groban's (I think) You Raise Me Up.

SNSD singing Abba's dancing queen.

One of the best korean songs ever. In my opinion that is. I first heard it through Dream High season 1 when Eunjung and Suzy's character auditions for the entrance to that high prestigious music school. It was soooo nice, and I got hooked instantly. Here is Davichi's version of it, and like my friend Hye Ju says, these two can really belt out those notes pretty much perfectly.

Here's a cast rendition of the song, sung by JYP, IU, Kim Soo Hyun, Taecyeon, Suzy, Eunjung, Wooyoung and the little girl I don't know the name of.

Here's the cut from Dream High season 1! Apparently the last bit that Suzy did was dubbed by an actual opera singer. But who knows? she might be able to sing that well in real life.

I'm a total noob when it comes to harmonising, but I absolutely love listening to people harmonise. I really want to learn how to though!

Rewind: Dream High season 1
Monday, July 16, 2012 @ 8:41 PM | 0 Comments

Having watched Dream High season 1, Dream High2 seemed a little boring. The actors were alright, except the script was a little predictable. There were some favourite songs of mine in Dream High and here they are!

1. Only Hope-Suzy(Miss A) (cover of Mandy Moore's)


2. Tell Me Your Wish--Suzy (Miss A), IU, Taecyeon (2PM) and Kim Soo Hyun (cover of SNSD's)
and 3. A part of this dream--Eunjung (T-ara), Taecyeon (2PM), IU, Wooyoung (2PM)


4. Waiting--IU

5.A goose's dream--EunJung (T-ara) and Suzy (Miss A)


6. Someday--IU


That's probably all my favourite songs/covers from Dream High Season 1. There were other nice ones as well, but these 6 kind of were the best ones. If you watched both seasons of Dream High, which did you like better? comment! haha no one ever comments =.=
Well, that's it for now!
