SNSD is making its comeback with a new album. And guess that the super amazing and original name is? At first, I thought they'd come up with something clever like "H" (To follow up with "G." They learned how to count in HAHAHA so now they can learn the alphabet) or "Fairy" (To follow up with Genie). But no. The name of their album will be "Oh!" as in "Oh! My god this album sucks!" or "Oh! I think my ears are bleeding!" or "Oh! Why did I even think they might do something dignified for a change?" Oh, and here's their teaser for you... I seriously thought that after Chocolate Love, they'd be taking the Lindsay Lohan/Brittany Spears route and go full out with the "slut" concept. I get that they’re trying to do another "cute" and "innocent" concept, but that isn't working. Their frizzy hair looks ridiculous, far from cute, and those slutty cheerleader outfits are just so... um, slutty. I swear, what with those short skirts and exposed midriffs, it'll be like watching a porn teaser. Moving on, I’d like to introduce you to their track list.
Nice job, SM, slipping Gee and Genie back there just when you thought we wouldn't be looking. I won't even rant about how amused I am by the fact that Key's in there. First SNSD stole Minho for their "Gee" video, and now Key's vocals will be in there. And it's interesting how this coincides with one of his statements on MakBanShi... (a reality show) So, in conclusion, let's all have fun making parody videos of the song when it comes out. And at apparently how ridiculously deluded their fans are to think that these girls images are "pure and Innocent". Until we can have a better K-POP industry... STAND strong, everyone!

Claimed to be Korea's "Grammy Awards", the Golden Disk Awards is supposedly the most accurate and prestigious out of all year-end music awards show. It also boasts of "fairness" in the "recognition of popular singers and talented musicians".  As such, it really is no shock to us all here at STAND that SM Entertainment is more than ready to try to "rescue" SNSDs tarnished image last year by spending money here and there under the table for their benefit and have them "win" the Digital award for "Gee". Don't you just love it when numbers can dictate the numbers in votation and awards? In addition, it's interesting to point out that the Digital Daesang Award (like a Best Digital Music or something to that effect) includes 60% on the amount of mp3 download for the period of time the music was released, and also BGM, mobile phone ringtones, 20% from the judges and 20% from popularity votes. With that much requirement in downloading, you can just wonder how much they were willing to spend to win the award. Economical recession... legal controversies (with contracts, etc)... you do the math. [Oh, almost forgot. If their fans could buy 10 albums at a time, downloading shouldn't be a problem, ne? It might not be so surprising after all.  ]We do have to give SM credit though for trying so hard to make themselves out to be "honourable" by insulting the channel that most likely gave their artists the most exposure (MNET) by boycotting their event, using SNSD as the reason. Being treacherous and conniving takes a lot of effort and hard work I'm sure. It's just a shame that SM made things obvious last year that they had some "pull" in the GDAs by giving Lee SooMan an award despite their extremely strict rule of "Don't show up, Don't get an Award". For the record, Lee SooMan was in New York and won the "Best Producer" award. It is also quite an interesting piece of information to note that no YG artists were present, and even if they did win anything they would not receive an award since they weren't there. Still... the "fairness" that they claim may very well just have ended in the nominations. There was also another piece of news circulating that SNSD were the group with the most impact in the year 2009 (an SNSD fever, as they claim... more virulent that AH1N1 that it's killing KPop), seeing as the news is from an entertainment segment on MBC, the channel that has replaced Mnet as SMs dogs... it's not even worth discussing. Thanks to halmouni Bento_box who I collaborated with on writing... [ Full reading ] 2009 Dream Concert, Has SNSD learned anything? Tue 20 Oct 2009, 4:22 am by evile1690 After much "anticipation" and speculation as to what happened to our 9 "favorite" girls, here is a rundown of the events in Dream Concert 2009.
    Here's a fancam of their red carpet photo-shoot. Notice how some of them, especially Tiffany, is a little "extra nice" towards the reporters and photographers. Part 2: The Concert Opening As a formal opening of the concert, individual groups/performers were introduced. SNSD was the first one to be called. Observe this warm welcome from the audience: ^ If you noticed, you'll see which group had solid fan attendance and support. Performance They performed their "big hits" Gee and Tell Me Your Wish. Their Gee performance was not aired. In between performances, they had a short introduction segment wherein their leader Taeyeon shed some tears. Tears of relief perhaps? ^ Apparently, Taeyeon is thankful to fans for without them, artists won't have (as continued by YoonA) "the strength to perform on". Thinking about it, the "cheers" they got this year may be a tad overwhelming considering last year's silence, which caused Taeyeon to tear up. Here's the video for their performance of Tell Me Your Wish. Nothing special in terms of vocals since it was supposedly sang "live". They also added that out of place dance segment. As a "bonus" to their performance, Tiffany mentioned "Sowon" instead of DJ. Jessica continued by saying "My Sowon"... [ Full reading ] It's a fact: Kim Taeyeon CAN'T really sing Mon 14 Sep 2009, 6:22 pm by queenbee Most of us have already established the fact that SNSD's leader and apparently "main" vocal, Kim Taeyeon, is not really that much of a singer, mediocre at best. (Personally, I think she can't sing at all) Leeching ability continues... Mon 14 Sep 2009, 5:32 pm by queenbee After all that hype of Jessica being in Legally Blonde: The Musical, SM Entertainment decided to step it up a notch by including the "blonde" Jessica in SJ-M's comeback MV: SNSD Jessica to star in Korean version of "Legally Blonde: The Musical" Thu 27 Aug 2009, 5:49 pm by queenbee  Yes folks, you read that right. SNSD member, Jessica Jung, will be starring in the Korean version of "Legally Blonde: The Musical" starting on the second week of November alongside actor Kim Dong Wook. I get the whole "idol-star-transitioning-into-musical-actors"... but JESSICA JUNG????? This is the same girl whose voice broke during their ONE song performance while singing only ONE line in a music program... Never mind the fact that her voice has always been screechy, nasal, and thin. She has been stated as one of SNSD's "main" vocals, but only due to the fact that SNSD never really had any good vocalists. So why did she get the part, when its blatantly obvious Jessica is not, and has never been, a strong vocalist? As for dancing, she is also the same girl, who, during their LIPSYNCHED performance of Shinhwa's T.O.P., couldn't hold a dancer's pose for three seconds.  I'll give you three guesses on who "keeled" over... And that was after two-three takes of the same routine. 7 years of training must have been rough, considering that she can't sing properly, dance properly... and act properly? Wait.. has she even acted in a drama before? Be it TV, movie, or cable, has Jessica Jung appealed to any of Korean entertainment's PDs for a possible acting gig? NO She has never done any acting prior to this (if you don't count the failed Horror Factory she did with SNSD). Jessica, Jessica, Jessica.. didn't your Heechul My guess is, one of the reason why they "cast" her in that musical is her blonde "look"...  Yeah.. sure... the lead actress in "Legally Blonde" has a bubbly, hyper, and amiable character. Waaay different from Jessica's "Ice Princess" persona that she maintains to a T. I'd usually say, let's have a look and see what will happen on this impending disaster, but I'll save myself the trouble a... [ Full reading ] Here it comes again.. [UPDATE] Thu 16 Jul 2009, 3:40 am by Bento_box  But this time no CSJH the Grace and no BoA. Perhaps not until they see a drop in ticket sales (like last time, lol). Let's see how this develops shall we? If you werent around for last years coverage how bout you check out the nice blackout saved for Soshi here, the sweet sound of nothing here, the empty seats here, and the funny excuses here. TO top it all off, why not look back at the drama before the show and after the show here. [UPDATE] On August 7th an SM representative said, "SMTOWN LIVE’09 which will be held on August 16th at the Seoul Jamsil Olympic Stadium will be temporarily postponed." ____________________________________________ Credit: Zoy Click on the bold text for links. Original articles: 1 - Newsen & 2 - Newsen UPDATE - SNSD's comeback song....now this is interesting Thu 02 Jul 2009, 3:45 am by SUJUDB I urge you all to listen to SNSD's new comeback song after you hear this one: Compare with SNSD: Now THIS is NEWS for me....gosh SM says Yoo Youngjin and another european composing company-Dsign Music AS (also helped compose one of SJ and Amuro Nami's songs). So....did SM get rights to this song and the situation is the same as Mirotic? In which case, they sold it to DBSK and to Sarah Connor for copyrights in terms of region, but she released it first. Or did SM copy it?? This is extremely....how do I say? Juicy. First with it's similarity to Rhianna's PDSTM and now another artist has the SAME song??? Released at an earlier date? wow...SM is really going downhill... On the other hand I have concluded that SME has made some arrangements so the similarity between PDSTM and Tell Me Your Wish isn't speculated by the news. Seriously... the issue with Mirotic totally pissed me off when their BIG COMEBACK song was already released....and then SHINee's issues with covers and their recent one with Juliette (of Corbin Bleu's Deal with it). Either SME needs to hire new composers or ask their composers to step out of their comfort zones and compose some music for their bands....nuff said. ----Just for laughs: This self-made "scandals" spread by Soshi fans, making it out to be the doing of "antis" is bordering on well, InSanity. There is a gif found of Jessica pushing Seohyun saying "Go Away" (looked like it) in a rehearsal. SNSD fans are instantly coming to the defence of:
Honestly, noone knew about it or cared, it was only pointed out by the Soshi fans and tried to cover it up instantly, as if "antis" were using it as this huge speculation of horrid behaviour, and like HOMG we're so outraged!!. Now get over yourselves InSanes, we never doubted how rude these girls actually are, please do join the forums and lurk/post InSane philosophical psychobabble and see how little we care for these petty little things. Because well, its all "same old same old" with us. And to add on to the hilarity of stupid publicity via "fanservice"/"self-promotion", the girls graciously went on ChinCHin to let the world of Netizens rest as they explained that Yoona peeked under Tiffanys skirt as a "concerned friend". Here's the video: AH! WE CANT SEE A PATTERN! Thanks SM for the cheap ploys for attention, i... [ Full reading ] Tiffany grants the Ajusshis' wishes Mon 29 Jun 2009, 4:57 pm by evile1690  In a recent performance of "Etude", SNSD's Tiffany again shows why she is considered the "tramp" in the group. Said act was found out by none other than her SNSD co-member, Yoona, as she suddenly lifted up the skirt of Tiffany while on stage in front of fans...  Well hello~ NO SAFETY SHORTS! What is dumbfounding is the fact that instead of Tiffany being castigated for not wearing any safety shorts on stage while wearing that mini skirt, netizens were debating whether Yoona did the right thing or not. When all eyes are on you, and clearly fans are there looking at you on stage, you do not "lift up" a skirt for your own enjoyment. Clearly, this is "fan service" and we now know the real "concept" of SNSD with this mini album... Milk it all you can by being as perverse as humanly possible. No matter how much you disagree with ones attire "onstage", you keep your disagreements off stage. That is, even if she was "disagreeing" anyway, Yoona being one of the youngest, should really know her place. Far be it for said "netizens" to actually be perverted Sones who are just mad at Yoona for not showing them a glimpse of Tiffany's undies. Seems that these recent actions of SNSD (concept, lyrics, MV, and now this) are making their name "Girls' Generation" more of a mockery than anything, pushing people's patience to the limit with their cheap gimmicks and scandalous imagery. They might as well just call themselves "Genie's Generation" since they are now catering to all of Sones' perverted fantasies without qualm. credits to:QBee~ | Log inStatisticsOur users have posted a total of 94349 messages in 3394 subjects We have 4096 registered users The newest registered user is chocopielove Who is Online ?In total there are 15 users online :: 5 Registered, 1 Hidden and 9 Guests :: 1 Bot KARAlovely, pi-farra, Sachie, Tuyetienhi, whatever Most users ever online was 96 on Wed 06 Jan 2010, 9:03 am Visitor Counter |
