Article: SM's best performers get together... trending dance unit 'digital song' to be released
Source: Segye Ilbo via Nate
1. [+446, -71] TVXQ's songs have gotten weird ever since the split happened to them
2. [+306 -94] And who's going to sing?
3. [+269, -134] I don't know why people are saying SM had a big role in the Gayo Daejun; a total of 8 teams made their comebacks out of SM and only 5 of them performed with SHINee and EXO's stage being cut on top of that. f(x) and SMP were pre-recorded and Taemin had a small special stage. Both Super Junior and TVXQ only had 1 tracks; frankly speaking, YG and Cube had the most roles. From YG, Big Bang had 3 songs, Epik High, 2NE1, and a special stage. From Cube, B2ST was in Blue, Black, their own stage, and 4minute was in White, Red, their own stage, and finally A Pink and G.NA.
4. [+66, -23] I get so upset seeing TVXQ... They were the undisputed best once upon a time and now people are saying that the most popular three have left and that there's only two left but to me, TVXQ are still the best singers. How upset they must be to see comments like that... There are ups and downs to any career, don't hate on them too much. I want to continue to give my support to Yunho and Changmin for protecting TVXQ until now. TVXQ, don't be let down! Fighting!
5. [+61, -52] The SM kids have nothing unique about them.. Same looks, style, dance, singing.. They're all the same.
6. [+56, -16] Why are people so quick to call autotune, there are a few in here that can sing well
7. [+55, -25] Am I the only one that thought it was cool?
8. [+53, -24] People always say Yunho and Yoochun can't sing but it's because they were always overshadowed by Junsu and Jaejoong. They're both actually good.
9. [+51, -19] Gayo Daejun is YG's party ã…‹ã…‹ã…‹ It's so ridiculous how YG fangirls keep complaining it's an SM party
10. [+48, -12] People are so quick to judge without even listening to the song
-
The SM performance was actually really good. The fact that all the dancers got together...kinda reminded me of Youniuqe unit. I like those sort of stuff, when they have unique and cool dance units/groups. I don't know why Minho was there though...is he considered a good dancer?
ReplyDeletehaters gonna hate. SM FOR LIFE!
ReplyDeleteThere is nothing interesting in SM, all of their artists follow the same path as artists in the past. I don't understand SM stans at all, the artists are unoriginal, they get treated like shit, most of the MVs are in boxes, generic, forgettable dance moves, and the fandoms fight with each other for number 1 spot. It's ridiculous.
ReplyDeleteIt's SM The 'Performance' not the 'Ballad.' Obviously this was more about the dance and visual aspect of performing not the singing. They just released the song for it cause fans would have wanted it, plus the profits go to charity.
ReplyDelete"1. [+446, -71] TVXQ's songs have gotten weird ever since the split happened to them"
ReplyDeleteMore like all SM groups' songs have gotten weird since then. And I'm SM stan. I think all the songs and concepts sound/look the same :| before 2009 it was... different? each group had their own... vibes? idk how to explain.
8. [+53, -24] People always say Yunho and Yoochun can't sing but it's
ReplyDeletebecause they were always overshadowed by Junsu and Jaejoong. They're
both actually good.
Cube<3
ReplyDeletethe song will be shit. sm songs are always shit.
ReplyDeleteWhere's Changmin? OTL
ReplyDeleteThe song's already out: youtu(dot)be/GlmgsvagGqM
ReplyDeleteThe song is amazing. They didn't destroy the original at all.
ReplyDeleteI really just want sm to give their artist original tracks, not covers.
ReplyDeletePeople always say Yunho and Yoochun can't sing but it's because they were always overshadowed by Junsu and Jaejoong. They're both actually good.
ReplyDelete^ lol OMG ... its so funny comparing yoochun's voice to yunho.
yoochun is the 3rd great vocal after junsu and jaejoong in DBSK5 and yunho is .........
All of them are outstanding singers. Its because yunho is known for dancing more he doesnt get much parts for singing. But in actual fact his voice is deep and very soothing and wellcontrolled.(Listen to YH,YC,JS loveletter perf,heart mind and soul or homin toki wo tomente etc) Whereas yoochun voice is more powerful but it does get out of control sometimes. Junsu..lets just say hes pretty much a music genius. Changmin no doubt can sing well(if u had listened to his solo ballads) not only powerful screams(as some naive ppl things). I dont like to compare them bcus all of them have their strengths and weaknesses all of them are great singers.
Deletea friendly reminder that Taemin had ever participated in Immortal Song. hence, Super Junior's sorry sorry that once brought KPOP to this popular. SM songs concept are always the same? well, people still love it so what's the big deal? we have our own interest and choice.
ReplyDeletethese are really talented idols
ReplyDeletei just blame sm for the title tracks and concepts they have been giving them that they all started to look and sound the same
good thing that they are doing this for charity so i don't think ppl should complain about this project cause it's a win win for both fans and community
i actually really like the song, they sang well. and more importantly danced well, since the key point is the dance. i believe SM artists work just as hard as any other, maybe even harder. their focus is on dance and visuals, their songs are catchy, there is a reason why SM is one of the big 3. I don't understand why people call them talentless. yes, they tend to lip sync sometimes but that's because their dances are very difficult, as compared to YG artists with light choreographies. YG is good at getting audience participation and exciting the crowd, but that's because they don't have difficult choreographies, so there's nothing for the audience to watch. Honestly, YG concepts don't vary as much as SM's does. every company has their own style.
ReplyDeleteYea. 2NE1 has been having the cool chic girl image since their debut and everyone knows BB's style.
DeleteSometimes it gets to me when fans keep on saying how 'original' GD is. True he is in a way but I wouldn't say he is always original everytime.
Sighs why the hate on SM. though I don't like the company but I like the groups in SM. they dance well, sing well and are trained well.
ReplyDeleteit is true that the sound of their music is becoming similar lately , but I feel that it's so unfair that SM is getting so much criticism for everything.
5. [+61, -52] The SM kids have nothing unique about them.. Same looks, style, dance, singing.. They're all the same.
ReplyDeleteEXO are a just a rehash of everything else SM has done before so this is definitely true. I would say I'm confused over how anyone can get excited over them when you can look at the previous groups and still get the same thing but I'll just put it down to me growing out of kpop and there always being a fresh supply of fangirls to take over.
not even a fan but yunho used to be the worst
ReplyDeletebut i can't deny that he got a lot better
SM the Performance is what MAXSTEP should have been.
ReplyDeletehonestly though, over the years yunho's singing has only gotten better while yoochun's has gotten worse. not that yoochun is bad at singing now or anything, but he sounded a lot better.
ReplyDelete5. [+61, -52] The SM kids have nothing unique about them.. Same looks, style, dance, singing.. They're all the same.
ReplyDeleteSo what's the problem? It's music.
Yoochun got worse and Yunho got a lot better..there are the same now.
ReplyDeleteI could honestly agree with a few points in your comment, but:
ReplyDelete"and their "hip hop" style of music"
Why do people always say that? As if it hasn't changed?
Epik High I could understand, but Lee Hi, BIGBANG and 2NE1 haven't touched hip-hop music [for a while]. As a matter of fact, BIGBANG didn't perform any hip-hop songs [Crayon+FB+GS] (and neither did 2NE1 with 'I Love You').
I think they don't really have difficult choreo because they're doing just that- exciting the crowd. Synchronized dancing is fun to watch, but imo it puts sort of a gap between performer and on-looker because that's what they're doing; just looking on (with a few screams here n' there). I find it better to actually connect with the audience, make them jump and excite them than to have them just look (and possibly scream), but that's just my opinion ofc.
2. I hope it's not Minho or Kai. Otherwise the universe would implode.
ReplyDeletebut this has more decent singers
ReplyDeleteyunho/donghae/lay/taemin
There was all but 30 seconds of singing that could barely be heard. I think the Younique unit could have survived.
ReplyDeleteWhat the...? I don't understand people that say that every song from SM sounds the same. How does TVXQ's Humanoids and TTS' Twinkle sound the same? Or EXO's Mama and f(x)'s-Electric Shock?
ReplyDeleteThey are TOTALLY different.
The Concepts are different and the songs don't sound the same.
Not totally .... Humanoids, electric shock and possibly MAMA are similar in some respect. The only "totally" different one is twinkle.
DeleteBut thsi is not a TVXQ song..
ReplyDeleteYou're delusional
ReplyDeleteYunho always been a steady singer, and he gotten and i mean waaay better live wise after the split. (tell other boybands to sing KYHD or Catch Me, they'll probably faint in the middle of the performance)
ReplyDeleteWho's going to sing? Oh please, Donghae Taemin and Yunho (and is that Lay?he's okay too ) are damn good singers
This group is actually better than the catastrophe of Maxxstep(???), and they also should do something with the girls.
But at the end SME is always trying to hard with the SMTOWN love and sm being global thingy -_-''
Yoochun better singer than Changmin ? Are you serious ? The 3rd great vocal after Junsu and Jaejoong in DB5K is Changmin, no Yoochun.
ReplyDeleteAnd nobody comparing Yoochun's voice to Yunho. The netizien just says that the both are good. He does not say that one is better singer than other.
Fuck the haters, this performance was awesome as hell. :o
ReplyDeleteyoochun over changmin? seriously? LOLOLOL what a joke.
ReplyDeleteit's junsu, jaejoong, and changmin.
i agree with you. whatever YG churns out people will think its hip hop when a lot of the times it isn't.
ReplyDeletebut i definetly agree with comment 5. But can we really hope that SM will shake things up? They've got a formula and are going to stick to it.
Exactly.
ReplyDeleteEXO is like a Super Junior replacement or something. KInd of got bored of k-pop in my second year. The underrated are so much better.
Well, your comment could be right in some aspects.
ReplyDeleteBut, whether it's better to dance synchronizely or to sing along with the audience is really depends on what kind of event, condition, and stage they perform.
I can't agree with you about "they don't really have difficult choreo", Even dance teacher in my art school said it's a high difficulty dance.
Yunho and Changmin just protected the name, they should had protected the actual team, I'm sure if they had stick together, all 5 of them would probally still be in SM because SM would have to agree with what they wanted, at that time TVXQ as 5 was the real money maker of the k-pop world and when they came back home from Japanese promotions they didn't receive the money they supposed to.
ReplyDeleteI'm just waiting to see SM next shit, when they do that with other beloved group, after all TVXQ was not the first group SM destroyed.
Are you really comparing boys to girls concepts?
ReplyDeleteHow old are you?
Oh my God! I agree with you so much!
ReplyDeleteWhen I say something like that the Exotics go all hardcore on me. But then I realize how young they are and most of them are new in k-pop so they are seeing these kids for the first time. They don't know k-pop much nor SM boy groups style.
I actually think all the five of them can sing. Junsu and Jaejoong they have the voice and they are exceptional good in feeling the song.
ReplyDeleteYunho got a lot better but he can't rap, and since he did a lot of rap in the past TVXQ songs and it was not as good as the other members singing, people think he's not really good. But he's ok.
1. [+446, -71] TVXQ's songs have gotten weird ever since the split happened to them I agree also kinda bored with Yunho's dancing.
ReplyDeleteAmen and all box videos too
ReplyDeleteI've never agreed to YG being all hip hop. I know they are more party music and pop these days. Only once in a while GD cranks out a rap song when people start to ridicule him again.
ReplyDeleteYeah his rap is weak but all Changmin does is scream
ReplyDeleteBut there's no individualism in YG either. Big bang and 2NE1 are practically the same, they can trade songs and trade styles and the difference would be so small... Yg is different from other groups okay sure, but yg artists themselves, they are lractically the same. Even epik high went from epik high to epik yg. They dress the same the music us starting to sound the same and that's because yg isn't creating a place for artists he is creating a brand. All the same style shit he likes, all interchangable. Lee hi was his newest concept but lets see if he keeps her that way. But besides, SM has waaaaay more groups than YG. And its obvious YG is laxking in the creativity are because he went from 2NE1 being the female big bang when they debuted to having his new group be the yg version of snsd. It seems like he's running out of ideas. let him have more than 2 idol groups and see how different they are from eachother.
ReplyDeleteTotally
ReplyDeleteThey are dancers. Not main vocalists, so don't expect the greatest singing.
ReplyDeleteThat's not a good comparison at all, lol.
ReplyDeleteAside from TTS, most SM songs have those robotic voices and everything is just. similar. Now that they discovered dubstep it's in every damn song now. It's going to be on SNSD's album too, just see.
WTF is SM trying to prove with these shitty group thingys.. They need to re-create another DBSK....
ReplyDeleteNoob kpop fans do not understand of course... They will always continue to try defend the new shitty kpop.. cuz thats why they came
ReplyDeleteMama? That illuminati garbage?
ReplyDeleteALLL DBSK members can sing... There has not been a kpop group like them since they left.. They are gold
ReplyDeleteit's also the fault of SM. they basically recreate what they already have, that's why they look, feel the same. plus there's that one sm composer that makes their artists sing exactly like him, it's not even good (the one who did MAMA).
ReplyDeletei completely agree with you.
ReplyDeleteand ever since epik high joined the company there is a very little amount of themselves in their performances, they became yg-converted, and that's a huge step back for them.
SOME songs sounds the same and there's little similarities here and there, for example ;
ReplyDelete- I think SHINee's Stranger SHINee sounds like a song for Super Junior
- I think Humanoid kind of sounds like A-cha
- Electric Shock's concept looks like SHINee's Romeo's one
- Shindong's concept pic for Sexy Free and Single looks like Onew's one for Sherlock.
- Before U go by TVXQ sounds like that song from SM the Ballad (can't remember the title lol)
- EXO's debut concept looks like a mix of Lucifer/Don't Don/KYHD
Or just listen to the first second of "Keep Your Head Down", "The boys" and the rock version of Lucifer by SHINee of Gayo Daejun 2010 (the one with Jonghyun in the cage)
I could go on forever like this with all the songs released from 2009/10.
so people haven't realized that taemin has gotten so much better in singing yet? T-T
ReplyDeletethey are going to lipsync, like 2VXQ often do nowadays.
ReplyDeleteUmm shutup, if you were actually a fan before SM gave into that shit.. when they actually did have talent and orginality, you would understand. Some of us were fans of BoA and DB5K....
ReplyDeleteYou sound like a YG Stan.
She basically said that EVERY SONG sounds the same. Can't you read?
ReplyDeleteAnd even if you compare it the way you want it to:
I don't think that TTS' Twinkle and f(x) Electric Shock sound the same. And Suju's SF&S doesn't sound anything like SHINee's Sherlock. They just don't sound the same. I don't even understand how people can say that.
the song is crap but they're dancers and well they can dance.
ReplyDeletewell, only changmin can sing and the choreo are always too much for him to sing and dance in same time. He should have left with JYJ in 2009.
ReplyDeletetaemin voice is weak, Yunho voice is weak, Donghae voice is weak too. No one is really a singer in this group, stop being delusional. But they're not a ballad group they're a dancers group. The music is crap and only release for their stans.
ReplyDeleteand now snsd is gonna look like f(x)
ReplyDelete+10000000
ReplyDeleteThen they should just be dancers and leave the singing to people who can sing. Who are they trying to fool when they only have the same skillset as their background dancers?
ReplyDeleteFor SM stans that only listen SM stuff it's hard to see the difference because you don't get out much of the SM box.
ReplyDeleteI can see f(x) singing a lot of SNSD songs, and I can see SNSD singing a lot of f(x) songs, and it would be normal, because they actually don't have a well defined group style. The new SNSD song would be great for f(x) too.
Like for instance, Exo, Super Junior and TVXQ are also a big SM mix now. TVXQ can sing "MAMA" just fine or "What's love".
TVXQ had their own color in the past but now they don't have anymore, because Exo and SHINee can sing TVXQ songs and Super Junior songs just fine. This is a SM problem because they keep recycling everything.
But, I can't see SNSD singing a Sistar song. Sistar has a pretty well defined style in terms of music, dancing and concepts.
I can't see TVXQ singing a Teen Top, or a Infinite song. These idols have their own colors, they already have a strong style defined, some of them are so young in k-pop world but already have a damn well defined style, like B.A.P, Spica.
If SM keep mixing and recycling like that, people will get bored soon or later, because the fanbase of the idols they will create in the future it's not the fanbase of the idols they have now.
I'm theorizing that the JYJ/SM lawsuit sucked so much money out of the company that they couldn't afford to hire better producers and music video directors...
ReplyDeleteBecause the only other alternative would be that SM has just become lazy and complacent, which I absolutely abhor. They should not be lazy or cut corners if they can help it because the careers and lives of so many people are in THEIR hands!!
yunho is here and let be real he's the only revelant guy on the group. The others are sujuexoshinee no one cares in korea.
ReplyDeleteyes, YG is full of fail too. I can't with him.
ReplyDeleteyou were great until you bring YG here.
ReplyDeletehe's the maknae, forever overshadowed by his hyungs.
ReplyDeletewhich groups will soon disband ? suju ? snsd ? Shinee ? (exo ?)
ReplyDeletehis voice is nice but weak. He wasn't born with this talent he will never be a great singer.
ReplyDeleteI don't know, I don't work for SM, I don't know why they do this. It's a mystery.
ReplyDeleteMost fangirls only have eyes and mistake them for ears, that's why Exo is even given the time of day.
ReplyDeleteOverall Kpop has changed since 2009
ReplyDeleteThis so much, but the YG drone fans will come at you soon.
ReplyDeleteIt kills me that this company rehashes the same electronic sound over and over and no one is allowed to say anything about it.
Only time will tell.
ReplyDeletethis is so true as well. i bet if the person who made the comment made the same comment in, let's say, the akp forums, yg stans would be attacking this post in no time, and they'd create essay-length replies, trying to refute the statement as best as they can, even though they know it's true deep down -__-
ReplyDeleteYep. That's what a lot of them do best.
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure if they're brainwashing the fans or what, but YG is just as bad as the others when it comes to pulling cheap tricks for easy money.
gone downhill*
ReplyDeleteHim and Yoochun are the weak links when it comes to singing and dancing live tbh.
ReplyDeleteYoochun's smoking and asthma kill his live performances and singing ability a lot. Yunho does actually sing well though (better than Yoochun tbh, but Korea LOVES Yoochun so...).
ReplyDeleteREALLY.....I got into kpop in 2006, and dropped the wave in 2010...and the only reason I'm back is because of EXO......I find Kai's dancing skills the best out of the whole idols ( maybe it's cause I do ballet and lyrical), and personality wise exo-k kids are so interesting.
ReplyDeletelooks like you can only see the negatives in SM and the positives in YG
ReplyDeletetrue. but i give him the props for such hard work in getting to where he isnow
ReplyDeletewtf r u talking about. unless u went to a concert no one can judge yoochun singing ability since the split since he hasnt sang much only in studio CD and concert. i have been to their spain concert and he sounded fab. and regarding asthma and smoking luv he use to do it from day 1 so how can that only impact him now but didnt when he was singing 3 hours in lets say the T concert or Tokyo dome
ReplyDeletewell that's also a way to call it
ReplyDeleteand u can't see 2ne1 one singing Big Bang/Epic High and the reverse !! seriously ?
ReplyDeleteThrowing shade at YG isn't going to change the fact that out of all the entertainment companies, SM is the worst when it comes to unoriginality and recycling material.
ReplyDeleteAt least Big Bang and 2NE1 don't reuse MV sets.
BoA's "The Shadow" MV was the same as one of EXO's MVs. And one of SNSD's MV sets was used for EXO as well. And so on and so forth.
SM is a large company worth billions of dollars... yet they can't afford to make new MV sets? LMAO.
I'm not talking about YG, I'm talking about SM.
ReplyDeleteI'm not a YG stan. ¬¬ I really like k-pop in general.
I also noticed that Epic High was highly influenced in their latest album by YG productions, but the album has also some songs in the old Epic High style.
And about Big Bang and 2ne1, I remember that YG said before 2ne1's debut that they would be like a female Big Bang so...
And your question about Big Bang/Epic High...no I can't, you know why, Big Bang is in a level of popularity so high that if you think about a song that they promoted, you will instantly imagine them singing, like Lies, Sunset Glow, Fantastic Baby, Bad Boy just a few examples, I can't imagine Epic High singing that. That would be so weird.
I can see 2ne1 singing that D-Unit song produced by Teddy, that's so 2ne1. But I can't see D-Unit singing 2ne1 songs because they are not popular or strong enough as idols yet.
who cares about haters ?
ReplyDeleteSM Performance was awesome and you know it !
you can't always bash SM's artists just because they are your targets !
when people starts to say it was a shit performance it just proves how hypocites and fake they are !
"frankly speaking, YG and Cube had the most roles" this one made me lol because of the "frankly speaking" !
weren't bigbang's "love song", partly "tonight" and tablo's "tomorrow" shooted in the same location?
ReplyDeleteAsk anyone who knows about vocals, and they'll tell you DB5K singing, technique wise: Junsu=Changmin >Jaejoong>or by now even=Yunho>>>>>>>Yoochun. Not even a fan so I'm not being delusional like some people who believe all those vocal coaches' rankings that rank Taeyeon above Davichi or Junsu above Kyuhyun when it comes to vocals. I'm gonna get thumbed down because people like to believe those rankings, but this is a FACT, technique wise.
ReplyDeleteabout technique, all five of them a pretty damn good, i think junsu is a bit more than the others now but if you see them singing live old songs like "love in the ice", "bolero", "mirotic" etc, the live versions are even better than the album version...i don't think this people here really understands how good yoochun is live, he has a very hursky r&b voice and he can go pretty high too, for instance "love in the ice"
ReplyDeleteDefinitely downhill. I still wish for hit dance moves like the ones in previous years but man, I swear these days there are none.
ReplyDeleteYoochun's singing is very unstable. Sometimes he gives very good live performances, but most of the time he's just trying to surf his way through. That's why some people, including me and jdlexy, feel that Yunho is way better than Yoochun. Yunho has quite good singing techniques actually, it's just that most of the time he gets overshadowed by JaeSuMin and Yoochun has a nicer timbre than him.
ReplyDelete"SM is the worst when it comes to unoriginality and recycling material."
ReplyDeleteIn terms of originality, half of kpop is just as bad as SM. Originality is subjective.
As for reusing MV sets, I don't see what is wrong with reusing the same set. If everyone was as wasteful as GD destroying a guitar every single live performance, soon we will run out of natural resources. Learn to take care of the Earth, kid.
"they should had protected the actual team"
ReplyDeleteWhat. Say that to JYJ, they were the ones who broke the team up.
The contract was unfair, SM was not paying them.
ReplyDeleteIt's still work after all, would you work for free?
They should had protected the actual team, especially Yunho as the leader, it's the leader that has to deal with these problems with the companies when problems like that arise and what did he do?
Abandoned the other three for a drama deal, and so did Changmin.
When things like that happen, the company try to break the team offering stuff, Hara from Kara is also an example, she was with the three members that wanted get out of the company but as soon as the company offered some deals, including a drama, she back off and get back to DSP. But the members just wanted a more fair contract for all group, so was JYJ.
JYJ just showed they really are men, they are not cowards that keep their heads down because a company like SM that only wanna take all the money they can from their puppet-idols and then get rid of them when they want to.
But hey! Everyone choses their own path.
So let's see what future holds.
the song is a washed out version of maxstep drowned i dumbstep
ReplyDeleteYou might get a point.
ReplyDeleteI agree, Yunho has quite good singing techniques but his voice is not unique like Yoochun's because Yoochun has this husky voice and Yunho has a very nasal timbre and might sound weaker but he has pretty good lungs, his breathing techniques are great. God bless his lungs. xD
I wish Yoochun would stop smoking, as a singer he should consider that option. T_T
LOL, I went to the JYJ concert in Jersey actually :) and yes, most people who attended will say the same thing, that his voice is beautiful but his singing ability has declined over the years. I am actually a fan of dbsk/jyj/db5k's music so I'm not saying any of this to be a hater.
ReplyDeletexD
ReplyDeleteYes, Yoochun's husky voice is rather nice. I think he has a very nice timbre. I just don't understand why he lets smoking ruin his voice. Doesn't he have asthma too? Not just because he's a singer, but he really should be quitting smoking because of his health too.
ReplyDeleteIt's not about the contract and lawsuit. Besides, SM -was- paying them. Yoochun (or was it Jae?) was getting pay advances.
ReplyDeleteI don't get why people say HoMin didn't protect the team. Fundamentally, by JaeChunSu leaving, they are breaking up the team. It's not about whether they are right or wrong. It's just that technically, the ones who called Out in the team -are- actually the ones who broke up the team and the reverse is true. So how can anyone say HoMin didn't protect the team?
It's not about who is at fault or if it's right or wrong. I just don't understand how people can say that SM broke them up or that HoMin didn't protect the team because SM never did tell them to break up and HoMin never did break up the team.
2. [+306 -94] And who's going to sing?
ReplyDeleteOuuuccchhh.
At the time, they had made a lot of money in Japan, and when they came back to Korea, SM didn't pay them what they should and it was not the first time they did that. You should read more about it.
ReplyDeleteFrom my point of view, SM broke up the team and HoMin chose SM, because the five of them had agreed to get out of SM together, if you already had agreed with that, why then change your mind later on, you can't back off in this kind of situation, if you agreed with something like that you have to fight until the end but HoMin made deals with SM then. Well, JYJ is much better away from SM.
Let's see what the future holds for HoMin in SM, they already not selling in Korea like they once did, I hope SM don't put them in their freezer where Zhang Lin, The Grace duo and other SM acts are.
Yes, he has a pretty strong asthma, in the making of of "Ayyy girl" you can see him having some problems to breath properly and then putting some asthma medicine in his mouth.
ReplyDeletethey didn't even bother to take a new picture and just crop from their old promotional photoshot. the song will probably just another rehearse of old songs.
ReplyDeleteem okay you can say that no one cares about exo in korea, since they are just rookie, but suju and shinee? really? They often come to variety shows and have a lot of cfs
ReplyDeleteI am guessing that after the lawsuit SME had to actually start paying their idols something...........so now they cut corners in MVs and songs etc.
ReplyDeleteThank you, thank you for bringing YG into this article. Make a case for SM without having to bring in others please. And yes that is possible because everyone else, except for a handful here is doing it just fine without dragging in others to compare.
ReplyDeleteAnd YG does have variety, his artists each pull in different fans/people. Se7en, Gummy, Psy, Epik High, Bigbang, 2ne1 and Lee Hi. [ And I will mention Afrodino even though they aren't signed under YG because YG and Hyundai did this project SPECIFICALLY to search for an INDIE GROUP. And so helped them with a song. ] YG is probably one of the companies that have a range of artists that cater to many people.
What SM and all the other agencies should do is IMO, have 2 groups at most. Because this will make sure that each group gets the best and everything, instead of having to share styles, concepts, ideas, sets and whatever else. They might have a shorter time of actually being an idol but at least they will get the BEST and not get pushed aside but a newer group. In SM's case, F(x) doesn't get as much attention as SNSD, it's like it's okay to give F(x) the shorter end of the stick. If the same song was sung, Who would get the better clothes? The better promotion? Better set?
Pfft, I found the performance awesome. Their dancing was great. Releasing the song digitally was a plus for me since I loved it so much.
ReplyDeleteOh SM you money making entertainment. Thanks for making songs dubstep worthy to my ears....OK No I hate DUBSTEP with a passion. I know there's a lot of trends out there SM and you chose a crappy one.

ReplyDeleteDBSK never lipsync.. it's your blind to not see they live.. stupid.
ReplyDeleteas a dbsk fan i am ashamed that you believe that they dont
ReplyDeletewell you know that it's hard to sing and dance at the same time. i think lipsync is not a big prob. why people keep complaining.
ReplyDeleteHe actually has a pretty good technique -resonance, healthy vibrato- compared to other members who always strains. (i'm looking at you Jonghyun).
ReplyDeleteOut of the 7 dancers that are in this spectrum unit, I think he's the one with good singing technique can be a vocalist if he improves alot more
A voice (vocal tone) is subjective, you saying the voices are weak is just your opinion. many other ppl like their voices You cannot judge a person's ability to sing based on voice (vocal tone), because just because you think someoen has a nice voice it doesn;t mean they are good singers.You need to know more abt vocal pedagogy and vocal techniques before deciding whether a person is a good singer or not. A person may have nice voice in your opinion but he/she has an awful technique, isn't a good singer. A person whom you dislike his/her voice, but has the correct technique, is a good singer.
