About Old and Fresh News
This is the first weekend in ages that I checked out the regular music TV shows again and it feels really good. I'm so excited about S.M. the Ballad (although still cracking up about the lamer than lame name, but then again SME was never known for their uber-creative names), and as expected, Kyuhyun's voice melted me into a puddle of simpering goo because he's just divine like that. If only it was possible to marry voices... But still, I don't really like the song all that much. I suppose it's nice, but I've heard ballads that touched me more. I guess I'm just not a ballad person to begin with, but I'll still spazz over this group like nothing else because their voices, oh God, so beautiful, so amazing. And I was surprised by Jino, he did his parts really well. *pats* My biggest point of critique for this performance is that the cameramen didn't focus on Kyu enough to satisfy my fangirl heart. At least we got some nice close-ups to make up for it.
Also rather fresh on Inkigayo: Oh Wonbin. I won't even deny I'm sort of bitter about this guy because God knows I am. I believe that all the adorable guys of FT Island were hurting very, very much when Wonbin decided to leave and no one who saw the videos of their last stage together and saw them crying and their voices cracking could ever think that not every single one of them really felt the pain. I really respect Wonbin for basically sacrificing his up-and-coming carreer to do what he thinks is right for himself. My bitterness is mostly because he hurt the other members so much and he also caused so much hurt for Seunghyun without even being there, dammit. Just by leaving and letting them put in a substitute that got hated on a lot in the beginning, and constantly compared to Wonbin's shadow without people even realizing that this guy is an entirely different person and of course he'd have a different style of rapping and playing the guitar is just... making me very angry. So, yeah, bitterness. And after seeing his song and performance, I think that he has matured really well and is looking incredibly good, but I also don't like the song much and can't help but think: "He left FTI for this?" *sigh* Inner conflict. ... I just hope he does well, sort of.
Much older news:
Beast. I got a bit into them when they were promoting "Shock" and there was really no way to not adore them. It might just be Yoseob's fault, but they're like this huge, fluffy, hyper ball of hilarious energy that just comes out with unexpected skill here and there. They're amazing. But while I liked "Shock" enough to download it and play it pretty regularly, and liked it enough to learn names and watch reality show vids, it didn't make me flail over them as much as I flail over other groups. So I wasn't that excited about their comeback and decided to postpone watching vids in favor of work.
Which is why I only now watched both "Breath" and "Beautiful." And aren't they the cutest, most adorable thing ever in "Beautiful"? Aren't they? It's my happy song of the week, I decided. It makes me grin stupidly and giggle at their antics and generally feel happy and bubbly and warm inside. And man, what loosing the huge glassed and changing the hairstyle can do to a guy, seriously. Junhyung looks gorgeous. GAWJUS. <3 And I like that Yoseob went back to black with his hair.
... man, something about my room today is making me extremely dizzy. o.O I hope it's not the heating, I don't wanna be high on accidentally escaping exhaust fumes. Maybe it's just that I lay in a bad position while sleeping or didn't drink enough or something.
