Youngest but nonetheless, bestest(!) fan!
This young boy fan of CN Blue reminded me of another young boy fan of Shinhwa who danced away along with Shinhwa during Shinhwa live performance few years ago. ^^
"All live" performance of "Love" by CN Blue's youngest and the most passionate fan, with all of his four-years-old passion and rocker heart.^^ The boy's "love, love, love. clap, clap,clap" hand gestures and the rap is just too darn cute and completely priceless. <333 ^^
Click to viewI've seen this same boy doing CN Blue's "I'm a Loner" and "Now and Never" before. He really is a diehard fan of CN Blue. >_<
This next clip is "all live" performance of the real CN Blue's performance of "Love" during their latest "Listen to the CN Blue" Mini Live and Fan Meeting in Taiwan on Sept 25, 2010
Yonghwa looks like a "young boy" himself with that hair style and that shirt. ^^ He is totally into "stars" lately with all the star earrings and star printed shrits, etc, he's been sporting.^^
Yonghwa is just absolutely adorable on this stage, just as much, if not more, as his youngest fan above. ^^
Yonghwa's stage presence and stage manners clearly go past language barrier. Here he is in Taiwan, speaking broken English and using hand guestures that he is so famous for, and still able to completely capture his fans in Taiwan. So, so many fans, overseas fans, even though the band is only 8 months old. Amazing, indeed.^^
"Love" is not one of my favorite songs by CN Blue, but I do love this performance. Something about overseas fans singing along and cheering with so much love and engergy to the live performance of this very young but dedicated and passionate Korean band is very endearing to watch.
*** Of all the CN Blue songs, I noticed my favorites are those written by Yonghwa and Jonghyun.
I seriously do hope that they include more of Yonghwa and Jonghyun's song on their next Korean album. They've been doing that with their Japanese album already. The question is, is Korea ready for a true CN Blue album, with all the CN Blue's own colors and emotions laid bare, so soon?
All the while they are criticizing CN Blue for not releasing songs written by themselves, they are also very eager to ridicule anything that might be "outside of what is popular right now.
The problem is, Korea isn't as open minded about music as Japan is. Anything out of norm or anything outside of what is "popular and in right now" gets ridiculed and buried. It is somewhat risky to release something like Yonghwa's powerful compostion and lyrics "One Time" or Yonghwa's personal and diverse piece "I Don't Know Why" or Jonghyun's beautiful and poignant piece "Lie" in Korea.
However... ever since CN Blue came out and became success this year, more bands have been surfacing lately. This was unthinkable earlier this year when K-pop was overly populated with nothing but "dance idol groups".
So... may be... just may be... K-pop is ready for something other than "hook songs" or "dance songs"?
Hopefully, K-pop will one day become as open minded and versatile to many different genres of music in the future, instead of being overly saturated with nothing but "what is popular right now".
