Tiny Montgomery

[koganbot]

I like how the rhythm in "Tiny Montgomery" makes itself strong by just digging in and digging further, no moving forward. -The rhythm I'm referring to is mostly Dylan's voice, and the strum strum strum. Bass and the rest are a shuffling swing, I guess. So you can sway back and forth while the song steadily drives you down. A-Plus

Trotting off-topic

Here's the debut performance of Lizzy's solo debut "Not an easy girl" from today's M!Countdown:

Did I mention it's trot?

And quite good. Question: in this song, would you identify her as Lizzy of Orange Caramel or Lizzy of After School? I'd say the former, though the mp3 blogs have been identifying her as the latter.

I'd say Lizzy of Orange Caramel, because what she's doing here is much closer to Orange Caramel (cute and fun) than After School (serious about being sexy). But in this interview Lizzy helpfully demonstrates the differences between her After School mode, her Orange Caramel mode and her trot mode.

Lizzy also outs herself, so to speak, as a serious trot singer. She sang trot songs in talent competitions when she was growing up, and even sang trot for her After School audition. At long last she's happy to have a trot album because "it's what I enjoy and what I'm pretty good at".

Which brings me to...

Lizzy singing "Not an easy girl" with a live band and three backing singers, just as real trot singers do when they appear on television.

P.S. Here's Orange Caramel getting their trot on with a cover of Hong Jin-young's Love Battery (as previously posted by askbaek):
