Not exactly American idols: Korea
I'd seen videos of early J-idols before, but I saw the Kim Sisters in the Related Videos while watching Teddy Brown videos, and the hangul surprised me. Apparently the Kim Sisters also made an Ed Sullivan Show appearance, but I couldn't find a clip of it.
This is what an entire group of E-youngs looks like.
Also, they play marimba, so insta-win.
Go go keyboard percussionists! \m/
Yes, that is "Try to Remember" from The Fantasticks. Bonus Broadway points!
Look at that dude being all Lawrence Welk-ish!
According to the comments, one of the members of the Korean Kittens was Yoon Bok-Hee, who as you'll see, split off, became "legendary", and got her own show.
I was amused by the comment that was extremely thankful that they couldn't hear any trot influence in this song.
There's a clear Phil Spector influence here.
Watch for the Japanese edition of "Not quite American idols", including a cover of "La Vie en Rose!"
