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:
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.

There was a period where people were going on about how their stage in Jeju was embarrassing because people turned off their glowsticks and didn't cheer for them. After they finished their stage, the crowd boo-ed them and some of them were calling out for Hwayoung. Personally when I watched fancams of it, I didn't hear people shouting out Hwayoung, and there were actually people clapping at the end. I guess it's not exactly screaming and shouting and clapping really loudly, but maybe the fancam didn't capture everything. Who knows. Here's the video:
Sounds normal ehh? It reminded netizens a lot of the "Black Ocean" that happened to SNSD a couple of years back after their debut. Different fandoms were against them and at one stage at dream concert, if I'm not mistaken, everyone turned off their glowsticks and kept completely quiet throughout the whole performance. I don't exactly know the full story, but people were really anti SNSD
It's horrible really, what people can do to you if they don't like you. Bottom line is, don't mess with fandoms. ever.

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!

No prior news AT ALL about them not getting along and new members being recently added, I thought it would be stupid for them to kick anyone out. And they did BECAUSE KKS IS TERRIBLE AT MANAGING HIS COMPANY. Why is he even CEO I don't know.
My thoughts are quite similar to Nazlin's. Basically
1) KKS is a terrible CEO and the company is doing a FANTASTIC job destroying T-ara's future.
2) Groups should never EVER add new members. Sometimes I don't even like the idea of 'replacing' members.
3) I may seem like some heartless
So what do you guys think about this issue?

(For everyone who isn't aware of the situation, you can check it out here)
Now here's my take on the whole situation (taking into consideration that this is completely my opinion only, and hopefully people will take it with a pinch of salt)
First of all, there is very poor management from CCM (core contents media). In addition to that, a dick head of a CEO. In my opinion this would never have gotten out to the public if they had managed the girls better. In regards to the account that was made public supposedly by an ex back up dancer of T-ara just makes the whole bullying situation seem more realistic. However again, no one really knows whether this person that has written that account was really an ex back up dancer. News came out that KKS (dickhead CEO) had released a statement saying it was fabricated and CCM has in fact made police reports and ivestigations were set up, and they found the person. A few hours later, BAM! Seoul police releases statement saying they didn't do a single thing and had made no such investigation. Proof #1 why KKS is such a dickhead. Making stories up and releasing it as a proper statement to the public is NOT A GOOD IDEA. Don't misjudge and misuse the police force please.
Secondly, this whole twitter business, some people are for it, some people are against, it's been a havoc. I'm on neither side. Although it does seem like they are bullying Hwayoung, I don't think people can make assumptions based simply on twitter remarks. So netizens out there hating on T-ara because of their tweets, please calm the fck down.
I don't think this whole thing would've started if they didn't take in Hwayound in the first place. I understand groups like AfterSchool who add members after some leave because yes, they need replacements for future performances. But this, this, dear readers, puzzles me. They started off as 6. So why add another member when they're already on their way up? Is it to help them to get there faster? I don't think CCM had thought it through enough because how would the girls actually feel having another member after being together for so long, and having worked their asses off together, only to have another member come in, and just enjoy a free ride? I'm not hating on Hwayoung, but generally speaking, if you're in a group, a girl group at that, if you were in their shoes, you would be sensitive about it too wouldn't you? The whole idea was a sour one to begin with and that's what I think made this whole thing turn into a storm.
Then a few months later, CCM decides to add 2 additional members. One at a time. First one has debuted, and although she seems to have a lot to offer, it puzzles me even further why they can't train their other members such as Qri and Boram to be even better. They hardly get any lines, and all they do is dance and act pretty. I don't know if it's a form of strategy, but if it is, I don't think it's going so well. I'm sure both Qri and Boram fans are still firing at CCM for giving them a sentence each in their songs. They wanted to improve T-ara, they wanted them to go further, to gain more popularity. Don't add in new members that are more skilled than your original members. Don't abandon your original members, try spending more money on training staff on them rather than getting a whole new person (or 2).
Ridiculous. Absolutely ridiculous. I don't even know where I stand anymore as a "fan"

Video: Psy - Gangnam Style
How often do you see dancing kids, grooving horses, fat guys in sauna, explosions, disco bus, Yoo Jaesuk, Noh Hongchul, Hyuna and EHHHHHHH SEXY LADEH(s) in ONE videos? Mm, seldom. Now don't bother us while we dance to this. OP OP OP OP OPPA GANGNAM STYLE!
Song: Beast - Midnight
This song sounded better than Beautiful Night which was their title song for their latest album to be honest. Super catchy!
Drama: Big
Okay before we continue, it was Rachel's favourite, UNTIL THE LAST 2 EPISODES. This drama was really interesting and the whole body switch (that was so overdone) was done pretty well should we say. Wasn't too crazy with the fantasy side. Rachel was excited to see how the end would be but we will leave it to you to decide whether they did it well.
Dish: Japchae
Nazlin is currently fasting so I shall be the one commenting on this. I actually JUST tried this today and I totally loved it so K FOOD OF THE MONTH (maybe cause this is the only korean dish I had this month :3)
Hottie: Gong Yoo
Rachel would love to keep Simon in this category forever but she will not be so selfish. For a 33 year old man, he sure is hot. And he was so lovable in Big. Oh and ABS.
News: T-ara Controversy
OOH we were so sure Nichkhun's whole DUI case would definitely be the the news of the month but looks like the whole controversy T-ara stirred up these few days ago deserved this spot more! Oo catty!

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!
