In Weekly Playlist, we enlisted five selected songs with a common theme, look-alike video or by having the same usage of words or any particular phrases in each video respectively. And by 'selected', I means the songs that I really diggin' into and would definitely recommend you guys to listen to. Ehem...it's my playlist btw. What d'ya expect?
So, this week it's the time tickin' edition with the following clips...enjoy!
I might not visually attracted to her but I really like the songs. Who didn't especially when she's staying on the Billboard Chart on #1 spot for weeks.
3| Epik High: One
Back in 2008, when I first started listen to Kpop, this is the kinda songs that I listened to. Good Music!
2| Gwen Stefani: What You Waiting For?
1| U-Kiss: Tick Tack (Japanese Version)
This is the song that I listen to when I'm hitting the gym or jog. The upbeat rhythm really gets my heart pumping faster than usual. Okay, that's a lil' bit exaggerated...pardon me. But yeah, some people may have not yet to-drool-over this group, but I already am.
So, today Imma give you my playlist with a list of songs which have any 'Good Girl' phrase in the lyrics. You can check out my 'Water' playlist edition (click here). So, let the Good Girl please you. Erk, sounds so wrong. Enjoy the playlist!
5| Miss A: Bad Girl Good Girl
4| Carrie Underwood: Good Girl
3| Justin Timberlake: Like I Love You
"You're a good girl and that what makes me trust you"
2| Katy Perry: I Kissed a Girl "It's not what, good girls do". Yeah, I still can accept to that. Imma guy what d'ya expect*
1| Big Bang: Bad Boy (See eng sub version, click here)
Oh how much I've been anticipated for the release of this video. Finally "Part of Me" indeed a complete confession of Katy Perry that speaks to most people out there which might have been in the same situation. Represent!
As a fan of her(you know this blog is Katy/Big Bang bias, so don't gave me that look :P), I just couldn't accept it when the haters spitting out by saying that she's being a copycat. Comparing this video teaser(check here) with Lady Gaga-Alejandro and Rihanna-Hard is so not acceptable. Just because she was in some sort of army and that makes her a copycat, duh! Look at how beautiful this video turned out to be. At least, the soldier were not in spandex, fishnet and gosh heel btw. Eat that banana*.
Just so you know, music is awesome. Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Madonna yada yada yada...they all awesome. But it only turned ugly when it comes to the fan. So, please for ever once stop this "my Queen is better than your Queen" kind of attitude.
See how close they were at the Grammy. So should we.
I still remember the first time I listened to one of her not-so-hit song, One of the Boys, that turned me a fan. During that time she was so vulnerable and innocent that makes me wanna eat her up. Okay this sounds sarcastic. Love her even more when I watched her performed live in this video. For god sake I cannot remember for how many times that I've been replaying this video all of these years.
4 years ago:
"I know what you know but now you're gonna have to take a number,
It's okay maybe one day but not until I get my diamond ring"
4 years later:
"So you can keep the diamond ring,
It don't mean nothing anyway"
Woah, Strong Woman Invasion.

Of all Kpop newbies, B1A4 sure did catch my attention when they first debuted with OK-GO. I know right, who didn't. Yet, I don't know why, most Kpop newcomers that were trying to break into the scene nowadays doesn't bring that much impact that I was expecting from them. Instead, most of them looking more like a wannabes and sounded the same.
I'm sorry I was speaking the honest truth. Still, how much different is B1A4 compared to those other group that I was trying to compare to. Give me a sec...actually, I see no difference but but but...they sure did have 'something' that makes me wanna see and listen more from them and their music.
Let's take one of their hit single "Only Learned Bad Things", as a guy, I can pretty much say that I'm diggin' the song without even have to look at the mv. In other words, their producer really did a good job without even have to stressing much on the looks. Yes, they do have this pretty boy image as one of their marketing strategy but on top of that, their music sounded pretty as well.
Come down to this, it's time that I'm making some review on their latest promotion and music video, 'Baby, I'm Sorry'.
[1| Teaser Image]
Finally, somebody do understand the definition of a teaser image. I see most Kpop like to came up with a teaser image to indicates their comeback. It's a way of telling the fans that "this is the kind of concept we wil be using for our upcoming music video". But I see no resemblance once the video is out. For instance, Super Junior's Bonamana Teaser Image which telling a concept of hype and funky with bright colors and stuff. EMO is how the video ended up to be. Oh, well...but for this teaser image, you can tell they using the same clothes in the video as well. Thumbs up.
[2| Music]
I like the beat, the music sounds awesome as well but I have a feeling like they were trying to mix 2 or 3 songs in one. For instance, Baro rapping in the beginning sounds dark-ish (Outsider kinda) I must say. It was then transited to Sandeul's auto-tuned then BAM it's actually a dancing-party songs. Afterwards, it's getting cute-er at min 1:30 and it was all mixed up towards the end. I wonder what the song is actually about? Depression, after-break-up song or they just wanna throw a party, that's all. Mmmhh..
[3| Music Video]
Since the music and some of the lyrics already confusing me (tho' relying to only the English words for my understanding is not a good idea), I find it even more confusing by watching the video.
Did someone else noticing CNU dramatic scene when he's trying to getting rid of his past memory at 2:34. He was like taking his moment, almost in tears...and so we get it. But wait, what the heck did Jinyoung singing 'Dancing Party Time, Dancing Party Tonight' with a smile on his face. Is Jinyoung the devil that stir the relationship. Bummer*
So, what is the MV is actually about?
a) Baby, I'm sorry that we cannot be together
b) Baby, I'm sorry I steal your girlfriend -Jinyoung
c) Baby, I'm sorry for party rocking
[4| Dance]
I like their 'leg's floor-sweeping' dance. But I've to point out that their signature dance still rules in this video, the jumping. lol
Out of all Kpop song that has been released this year (at this current), this song definitely taken my attention and to looklet + blog about it. Somehow listen to it for the first time I felt like the song is quite Usher-ly to say. Nevertheless, I am so glad that at last 2011 seeing a new wave of Kpop, instead of clubbing-techno tune from one to another, they were something like this.
p.s : Btw, since the mv is lacking the presence of a female model/actress, the above looklet interpretation of mine, I think best fit in the video. Hihi~
(Girl's Day-Nothing Last Forever Inspired @ Looklet.com by 5th MK@me)
The Name : Girl's Day
Company's Name : DreamTea Entertainment
Members :
(The girl with shades, leader)
(I find it difficult to identify who's who, they kinda look the same, by which all the Koreans tho'. No harsh, I'm speaking nothing but the truth. Sorry sorry!!)
(The maknae(youngest), I've to admit she's cute)
(To all the haters, this picture proves they got no commercial value is epic fail)
So, that was it. To me personally, Girl's Day got this very potential to go further in the Kpop industry. I think they are very unique, by which not trying to imitate any existing Kpop's Group which looked, sounded the same...well, most of 'em are. But then, due to their uniqueness, I think they might have to struggle more to win the Kpop fans which to me they are very bias. Nothing much to say 'bout that tho'. :P
So yeah, I'm routing for GD (Not G-Dragon btw) and wish 'em all the very best in anything that they are doing. Really hope more people will start to give 'em chances by which supporting their music. Okay, this has nothing more less making me sounded like their manager.
p.s: I do not own any of this picture...esp the profile. Pardon me.
Something fresh to start with. From this month onwards...I'm going to post my recommendation of an artist that you should know which I think they are just so cool. Regards of fame and glamor, their music is definitely the one that I'm looking for.

Jupiter Rising, is one of the most anticipating electro-pop artist from America which gambles pop, rock, hip-hop, folk, down-tempo, R&B and funk genre. This group comprise fromJessie Payo (which is the lead vocals/songwriting/co-production), and Spencer Nezey (which is the vocals/beatbox/production/songwriting). By the way, they named as it is just to indicate the rise of the biggest thing(planet) in the solar system. (-_-)"
Jupiter Rising start by kicking-off the industry officially in 2006 where their self-titled album, Jupiter Rising, was debuted with a former lead vocal, 80 Bug, a gospel singer (which is now replaced by Jessie Payo). Frankly speaking, I'm not into this group before even when their hit number's, GO, was a hit. It's a little bit dark for me.
2007 saw a difference in Jupiter Risng when the album titled Electropop was released.with a new member, Jessie Payo. One of the hit song, electropop gets a massive respond from the fans and me too, think that it was their most successful single so far. I'm actually really looking forward to see this group grows in the future as what they have did so far was awesome. Though they are not that "famous", but I think if their on the right track and more people start to notice them, the new BEP is here.
I’ve seen and read a lot of articles, doubting the credibility of the female reflection of Big Bang, 2NE1. Yeah, I can say that their sense style of fashion and music were almost the same. Especially when 2NE1 try to deal with colors and a touch of hip hop sense in their style. Big Bang was like the trendsetter of their own labels and 2NE1 like the copycat of what they did. Nah, there should be no problems with that.
Fashion is not legally authorized personnel which you have to stick to your own. Copying and modifying sometimes can leads to a better one.
Listening to their latest single, Lollipop, was such an experience. Hehe……. They (both Big Bang and 2ne1) sound good along each other. The song is such an undeniable. Love the disco funky groovy kind of genre with the sense of modernity. Wewh, that is really deep.
