I would use my SHINee icon but I feel weird having one.

Okay Johnny's, please give me that kind of polish in your dancing, because if you guys are going to dance professionally then I don't want to be ashamed of you. (I think I'm a bit of dance snob because I love it so much; I'm a terrible dancer myself but I've taken enough classes to know that there really is no excuse for bad timing, which seems to ( Read more... )

dance snob coming through, johnny's is conquering my icons, johnny's is a real life host club!, arashi, shinee, je is more addictive than cocaine

I don't know, but I think Korea's superior dancing skillz have a lot to do with the fact that most artists perform with vocal tracks and just lip-sync, leaving them more energy for the dancing... I think je performs live, so there fail is a tiny bit excused... maybe... don't shoot me if I'm wrong

Well, a lot of Korean artists do a mix of live performances and lip-synced ones (you can tell because the vocal quality usually goes down a lot *shot*) and even though most of JE's groups do sing live, I don't expect them to do backflips all the time and then belt out notes - learning to sync with your bandmates does not take away from your breath control. Then again, the JE groups do a lot more in terms of variety (dramas, magazine shoots, etc.) so you can argue that they don't have as much time but they do spend a hell of a lot of time as Juniors dancing - why don't they learn to dance properly?

lol... but, with the exception of Bi, most Korean artists do nothing but dance and sing, so they are naturally better... and seriously, have you watched some of the juniors and what they try to pass off as "dancing" *shudders* I don't think anyone in je, with the possible exception of junior groups like ABC, actually knows how to dance, and yes I'm including their choreographers in that generalization

XD I don't watch anything Junior-related, it makes me feel old. But I will take your word for it and keep avoiding them!

I think I kind of prefer it that way (that the Korean artists just sing/dance and don't act) because most of them turn out to be crappy actors anyways. I know Johnny's tries to turn out "well-rounded" entertainers but not everyone can do everything.

yeah, juniors = pedo, and that's a thing to avoid *is old* but I do still watch shounen club, for the guests that don't make me a pedo for liking them

and, yeah, I kinda like things the way they are too, since I've seen Bi's "acting" and it's not pretty... reminds me of pi a bit *is shot*

If I watch Shounen Club I only watch the talk parts. *hides*

I liked Pi in Nobuta wo Produce, but that's really only because the character required him to be drunk/high all the time and not really act. XD There are a few Johnny's that I think are good actors, like Toma and Matsujun (oh, and Nino!), but the rest of them just don't interest me.

nepthys6669 October 30 2008, 03:00:11 UTC

I tend to skip the talk parts, unless they're subbed, only because I fail at Japanese and it takes me forever to figure out what they're saying *hides with you*

Akira SHOCK! <- love that line, use it to confuse people... and I agree, Toma and Matsujun are some of the best Johnny's actors... sadly, I've only really seen Nino in Stand Up!, and that was just a horrid show in itself, but I'll know better once I start watching Ryusei... they all randomly have their moments tho ^_^
