TopOfKpop2014 - Cover

**************

TopOfKpop2014

Category: Cover

                                ***************

Jedna nesvakidašnja kategorija. Jedna nesvakidašnja lista.

Dobrodošli u moj mozak. Mesto - čiji poredak samo meni ima smisla :)

tjaaah!

Nakon frizura, kolaboracija, plesa/koreografija(Deo1-muške; Deo2-ženske grupe), zašto da se ne prisetimo i zanimljivih (dobro, daaa... meni omiljenih) obrada, 

koje, u stvari, nisu kpop... ali, u stvari, jesu... jer

ih izvode predstavnici istog... tako da... 1+1... gwiyomi (sve je to deo kpop-a)

Npr.:

1. AILEE - Aquarela do Brasil

Ono kada Ailee zvuči kao domaćin događaja... A onda ono kada se nađe neko da potcenjuje kpop i kpop izvođače... Šetaj, bre!

I na španskom zvuči isto - Donde Voy

2. ERIC NAM x JIMIN (15&) - Lost Stars

Koju izvedbu slušam ćešće/radije? Original, ili ovu? Pogađajte...

3. MOON (RoyalPirates) - My Valentine

Ovde, ipak, slušam obe verzije... Jer volim. Ako niste znali - Moon je dreamy! 

4. HYORIN x SOYOU (Sistar) - Hurt

Nema ko nije pevao ovu pesmu.... Ali one! - Ako im dozvolite, probudiće dve emocije u vama - tugu i divljenje...

5. EXO - Sabor a Mi

Smatrajte me pre-subjektivnom, aj dont iven ker... Sama činjenica da su se upustili u pevanje na španskom je za pohvalu, a tek to što su uspeli da prenesu i emociju pesme (složićete se, ovo često izostane kada se peva na jeziku koji vam nije maternji...probajte, videćete...)clapclapclap...... Šta hoću da kažem? (Suho!) I to, a i... Bravo!

(p.s. Baek, ipak najubedljiviji...)

6. JAY PARK - When A Man Loves A Woman

:/ Ej jutjube, nisi fer... ja baš hoću ovaj video da postavim. Od tri segmenta obrade... hmmm... Meni su sva tri divna... hhh! Ako ste odgledali vid, pozovite sada nekog da vam pomogne da podignete tu vilicu sa poda! 

 'Immortal Song' 

7. SUNGGYU(Infinite), TAEMIN(Shinee), JONGHYUN(CNblue) - The Girl from Ipanema

Evo još jedna sa brazilskog Music Bank-a... Kakav trio? (retoričko pitanje) Amejzing trio!!! Da nije njih, (najverovatnije) nikad ne bih čula ovu pesmu... Toliko! ThePerksOfKpop

8. HA:TFELT x 15& - That XX

Na maternjem (im)! Učinila da zaboravim GD-ijevu originalnu verziju(skoro)... Jer... GirlsPerspective... YeEun, Jimin, Yerin 

'Singer Game'

9. JOOYOUNG - Call You Mine

Ja sam fan od momenta 'call you 넌 내꺼'...

10. ROY KIM - The Greatest Bastard

Svaka pesma koju obradi zvuči kao da je njegova, jer je svojim stilom pevanja (i emocijom) učini drugačijom od originala...  Young Man - Old soul!

+

bonus! gotta support them... newbies!

11. UNIQ - Airplanes

Koliko vas će sada probati da (pro)izvede bar jedan beatbox zvuk? .... Kkkkk! No! Prepustite to profesionalcima... 

12. NO MERCY Show

SHOWNU - prva ep - All of me - aj min, dajte čoveku da debituje! 
KIHYUN - druga ep - Hyeya(YSiFueraElla)- obe pesme su divne, i Kihyun-ova interpretacija je - WOW, just WOW!

Uživajte u životu, Loolooboos!
Jedan osmeh?!
E tako...
xoxoxoxo

TopOfKpop2014 - Dance (Part2)

************

!Girl groups!
Mostly two things:
Aegyo-----------------------------------------------Sexy
+ few (polar bear) rare exceptions

1. HA:TFELT - Ain't nobody
Great first solo album! And this emotional and artistic contemporary dance is just...WOW! She killed it... Keep up the good work, YeEun(Yenny)...I mean Ha:tfelt!

2. F(x) - Red Light
... See kids(and by kids, I mean - CEOs/whoever is responsible for concepts and outfits selection), you don't have to be (half)naked to look sexy... They're wearing sweaters...And don't tell me they're not lookin f-in fly. Also, the dance is composed of moves that aren't pole dance inspired...Props!

3. T-ARA - Sugar free
 These girls are definitely NOT sugar free! Sweethearts. Disco dancing queens!  

4. 2NE1 - Come Back Home
A little bit different vibe... YG's divas! 'Come back hooooomme' body roll - my fav part of choreo + backup dancers(always nice to see you boys *winkwink)

5. APINK - Mr. Chu
Aegyo concept - represent(atives)!!! APink is THE kpop girl group when it comes to 'cuteness overload' concepts.   

6. GIRLS DAY - Something
Nothing is something! Tell'em girls!
Nobody likes 'Something' dance as much as male idols! - Evidence1/Evidence2 
#fanboys

7. HYUNA - Red
Casual Hyuna + inevitable twerk(after all...it's a dance from year2014 - TwerkManiaYear)... Thank heavens, that trend faded away...

 8. AOA - Like A Cat
3 big hits...say what?! Miniskirt/ShortHair/LikeACat... They're slowly claiming a spot in kpop world...

9. SISTAR - I swear
Oh, look, It's one of my fav girl groups... And look, instead of 'Touch My Body' dance, I decided to share 'I swear' dance practice video, cuz...like...why not! Let's forget that horrendous TMB choreography... Let's! 

10. ORANGE CARAMEL - Catallena
Their concepts are different... I'll give them that. Unique MVs, hilarious costumes... Even the music is... cheerful and energetic. People like it....
I hope Nana, Lizzy and Raina like it too...(*slightly doubtful)

See you soon!

TopOfKpop2014 - Dance (Part1)

!TopOfKpop2014!

Category: Dance

What would KPOP be without awesome... extraordinary... amazing... sensational... wonderful...

delightful... breathtaking... spectacular... remarkable... marvelous CHOREOGRAPHIES!?!?!?!?!

Can't even imagine...

Can you?

Actually, the very first thing that caught my attention (and turned me into kpop lover)years ago was DANCE magic(!) that has spontaneously popped out from my computer...

I was literally like                                                                       

  ... Clicked play... And the rest is history...       

Welcome to Weirdland... where
all types of body rolle(er)s live... 

         ...Once you enter the kpop world, you will never find your way out! But that's ok

....cuz over here...(I see you fellow kpop addicts agreeing) we                                                                                                                               All The Time!

***

(no stage lights, no make up, no fancy costumes

DANCE PRACTICE VIDEOS

WOOHOOHOO!

with a few exceptions, tho)

1. RAIN - La Song

"I'm not one of those common men, I'm not!" - Yes, Rain, we know that.

He's 30 sexy, and he's a legend! (first few seconds - hhahahhahahah...love)

2. MBLAQ - Be A Man

Chorus part dance - everything! I just can't believe that this could be their last(ever) comeback performance together. *NO meme*

3. EXO - Overdose

The time when dance practice video leaked... Oops! Anyway - the quality of that video is baaad( and the boys didn't look really concentrated)... So..That's why.. Official MV - start! feeelllllzzzz

4. 2PM - I'm Your Man

HOT! I've been loving this dance since (japanese ver.) release of 'I'm your man'. I was very surprised/pleased when they came back with a korean ver. Whoever made this choreo - Dude, thank you! (+ bonus live perf of actual cb song 'Go Crazy')

5. TAEYANG - Ringa Linga

This is how YoungBae (zeropear) rolls... So, DON'T (you ever dare) KILL HIS VIBE!

6. BOYFRIEND - Witch

This year... finally... they caught my eye! When I saw them perf live, I was like - Well, that's different. And cool. And clever/interesting curtains usage. Very nice.

7. U KISS - Quit Playing

One chair...BUTBUTBUT...girl backup dancers!!! Muahahhhahah - Uncensored ver. (a...almost). Damn you tv-broadcast rules! The least censored ver.!

Stop UKiss in the name of love....

8. TAEMIN - Danger

Fairy Man! Show 'em whatcha got! One of the most passionate dancers I have ever seen.

9. VIXX - Error

DarkConceptsKings/Pros! All things Cyborg + Unplugging at the end (my fav part). They're serious(ly good looking) from the beginning to the end...

10. INFINITE - Back

As I said before - They have unique music style, and unique choreos. 

Groups that build their reputation without using/relying on the company's name exist. Synchronization is Infinite's last name. Watch. 

10. BTS - Danger

Babies! I truly admire them. I'm really impressed with BTS's dances(on/off stage) (with every single one). Their energy is just... incredible. Kyah! 

11. GOT7 - Girls Girls Girls

Rookies! "Girls Girls Girls, they love me...". Still my fav Got7's song/dance! Intro was scariest thing(MARKSON trick). Luckily, there weren't any accidents. After all, martial arts tricking is Got7's specialty. 

(!big shout out to kpop choreographers!

props! kudos! and all that shizz...

wootwoot!)

One Smile?!

There you go...

Nice.

TopOfKpop2014 - Collab

***!Another festive post!***

yehehehehehehehehe (t)!

TopOfKpop2014

Category: Collaboration

(This year was fruitful... Fair amount of collabs... 

Here are few...good ones.

Make yourself comfortable.

Enjoy)

1. SoYou (Sistar) x JunggiGo
Immediately after its release (February 7) 'Some' ranked #1 on all major music charts. 
The secret of success - relatable lyrics and really good vocals...nice music too.
Let's not forget Dasom and Baro who starred in the MV, and portrayed a lovey-dovey couple. 

2. San E x Raina (After School)
The song with a really long title - 'A Midsummer Night's Sweetness' - was released on June 12, and it was one of the greatest summer hits(suitable) of the year. Those two are so cute in the MV. Actually, San E is more like... dorky-cute. 'Rap Genius's being silly...as always...

3. Nasty Nasty (ZEA x Nine Muses)
That unit's name tho!!!The first official sub-group of Star Empire Ent., composed of Kevin, Kyungri and Sojin(trainee) debuted on September 3, with a title track 'Knock'. The MV is ...almost 18+. The actual music/melody/rhythm is what I like the most. And the dance choreo is nicely done...

4. Leo(VIXX) x Lyn
One of my fav songs from the list - 'Blossom Tears'. I mean...L E O!... Just kidding. Both are extremely talented vocals. The way he's acting acting...really into it. Big fan of the MV!(creepy) Where's that shy Leo everyone's talking about now, ha? 

5. Epik High x other rappers
'Born Hater' - the story about 7 deadly sins - one of my favorite songs of the YEAR... along with 11 other songs from Epik High's album 'Shoebox'... Such a creative way to preach - through the power of music. EH's little helpers: Mino, B.I, Bobby, Verbal Jint, and Beenzino. One word - Epic!

6. Jung In x Gary
Oooohh, how much I love this song.. Cheeky lyrics + Jung In's unique and wonderful voice + Gary's rap (and singing attempt...which was (btw) sweet little surprise) + beautifully (yet not pretentiously) filmed MV = great song!!! Autumn vibes! 'Bicycle' jjang!

7. Hi Suhyun
Two lovely ladies with great vocal skills... and one eye smiling bunny... kkkkk. What I really meant to say is: Solo artist- Lee Hi, member of 'Akdong Musician'(AKMU) duo - Lee Suhyun, and rapper - Bobby (iKON). 'I'm different' is nothing but a mood booster song!

8. Hyorin (Sistar) x JooYoung
What can I say! When all the pieces fall into place - we get 'Erase'. Hyorin has such a precious... moving voice. I'm proud of Soulgab, he is getting there... And I'm happy for Iron (he's featuring in 'Erase' with a short rap part). 

9. GD x Taeyang
Recent collab that fans across the world seem to be in love with... As for me - I like it. Put your hand in the air. How y'all feeling out there. We gon' party over here... 'Good boy' by good boys.

10. JoonYoung x Younha
'Just The Way You Are'  didn't gain much attention... Not sure why... Anyway, I love it. The lyrics are amazing. Great song by funny rocker and cute fairy.

11. Tablo x Taeyang

Lemme tell you this - I FREAKING ADORE EVERYTHING ABOUT THIS COLLABORATION! Great song. Great story. Great interpretation. MV. Tablo. Taeyang. Music. 

12. Raina (After School) x Kanto (TROY)

Raina was on fire this year... You go girl! After 'A Midsummer Night's Sweetness', 'You End, And Me' - life. I love this song because of the message (lesson) - Clinginess is not love.

I'll stop now...

 These are the ones that I liked throughout the year.

(I've actually reviewed some of the songs, like: 4; 5; 7; 8 and 9 )

There will be another TopOfKpop2014 post -13.12.2014. - stay tuned!)

YaComeHere/Outside!

Masta Wu i drugari...

Dok još uvek levitiram između 'dobra je pesma' i 'meh'... Da kažemo ovo:

... I tako jednog dana YG odluči da popularnost čuvenog "That's no-no" komentara podigne na viši nivo... Naravno, Masta Wu je dugogodišnji član YG porodice, ali da li to znaju današnja deca/kpop(khiphop) fanovi? - vrti se po glavama odgovornih u YG Ent...

Hmmm, da ubacimo i Bobby-ja, za svaki slučaj - donesoše konačnu odluku...

I bi 'Come Here'.

Kliknem na video - kad ono... Hip hop - Luxury Edition (a kako drugačije... YGstyleuposlednjevreme).

Nakon prvih par sekundi, već mi je jasno da ne smem da trepnem, jer ću, u suprotnom, nešto propustiti. Brzinom svetlosti se menjaju slike, boje, kadrovi - crno, belo, zlatno, crveno... Rečju - overwhelming. Zaustavi video, vrti ti se u glavi - mislim se...

I sada, ima tu nekih stepenica, stolica, fotelja, auta(još uvek čekam da to sa automobilima prestane da bude in... nepodnošljiva tradicija spotova ovog tipa/žanra... vi get it, ju ar(vana bi) rič es f*k...) i ostalih stvarčica tipičnih za ovaj muzički pravac, na koje smo već, hteli, ne hteli, navikli... Ali mi zapadne za oko onaj improvizovani hodnik - ulaz u klub(aj ges) i vizuelna sličnost sa 'Born Hater'-toaletom, isti odnos sa kamerom - 'unošenje u lice' kameri... Ali kada bolje razmislim, to je standard - ne mogu oni sada izmisliti toplu vodu. Nastavim...

Iznenada... Beenzino@__@! (ok, i TheQuiett... ali Beenzino... 1llionaire ekipica... Volim. Znam, nije iznenada - Dok2's featuring...duuuhhh)

...palo je 'mahanje novčanicama'...
bez toga retko koji video može da prođe...
Pamtim iz Beenzino-ovog 'How Do I Look' mv-a... smesnomi

  ... simpatičan mi video, od tog momenta... (misija: raznim appearance-ima privući veću pažnju, im je uspela). Tu su još neki, jelte, poznati muzičari(?), od kojih jedino znam za (i to po imenu, ne po liku) Teddy-ja (i to kao YGmuzičkogproducenta)... iako on beše član '1TYM' grupe, ali ne poznajem njihov rad uopšte...gilti). Dalje...

Kkkkk... Čak su i barbie i ken istetovirani... Kamera na povocu (2:30) - miningful mač.

Biciklisti i taj vajb - to mi je ok, dopada mi se.

Veliku pažnju je privukao Bobby-jev pogled na grudi jedne od devojaka u spotu. Vaj??? Nemam blage. Kids! Dok se, recimo, na nekoliko palica (koje su tu kao simbol moći(?), privju tuče - prebijanje druge osobe do krvi/smrti neretko) gleda potpuno ravnodušno... Pa to je sastavni deo hiphop kulture, ha? Nasilje i to, zar ne???... Deco draga-budućnosti ovog sveta! (a i ovi koji to promovišu) - Preispitajte sistem vrednosti. Ne smatram da je poenta spota u promovisanju agresije, ali ovi (i slični) rekviziti ne pomažu baš mnogo, složićete se, prilikom 'pranja ruku' od pro-nasilnih metoda/stavova. Moglo je i bez toga. Mogli su da iskuliraju trend. I time pokažu nešto više, vrednije, važnije. Ovako... Samo trend. Radi trenda. A posledice... Ma koga još posledice zanimaju? Da ne spominjem momenat na 1:48...Ono kao, NO! (ili još bolje: That's NO-NO!)... One su, u stvari, popadale u nesvest zbog neodoljivog šarma mlađanog Bobby-ja.(Predavanje o tome 'da posledice postaju uzroci, a uzroci dovode do novih posledica' je završeno. Hvala na pažnji. (društveno angažovano pisanije u tekstu o kpop-u...what is my life...)

Tekst - Pesma počinje refrenom. Od prvog sekunda - punom snagom - do prve strofe. Pa kaže(slobodan prevod): Imaš nešto da mi kažeš? Dođi (o)vamo! Aha, kapiram...Dođi ovamo! Malo je nezgodno ovde, a! Ajd' izađi napolje (pa da rešimo to)!(pokušaj da zvučim što je šabanskije moguće)... Refen ne može da ne bude shvaćen kao izazivački. Što, opet, vodi suštini prethodnog pasusa... Ali, avaj... Da se vratimo ostatku teksta - Dok2 svoju, Bobby svoju, Masta Wu svoju politiku vodi. Isti pristup - obraćanje kolegi (reperu) neprijatelju. Pitanje. Ko je, za ime sveta, TAJ neprijatelj iz branše što ih toliko ljuti? Koliko vidimo, u poslednje vreme se nižu kolaboracije i fičurinzi (među zvučnijim khip-hop imenima) - Illionaire feat. YG feat. AOMG feat... Ima, najver, raznih koji ih uzmu na zub u svojim tekstovima, ali ono...vaj badr vit boranija. Svejedno, oni svoj posao rade kako treba, osim ovih par zamerki što izrekoh... Super zanimljiv punch line iz prelaza: Ya, ya, ya, ya - uvredljivo 'ej/ često se koristi i kao zamena za psovku.

Brdo brendirane odeće - hir vi go agen...(Da li) Baš mora da se istakne svaki Burberry, svaki Supreme, i ostalo, tako glasno? Imamo čak i fuziju, oličenu u Kate Moss (poznati Burberry-jev model) u Supreme majici, doduše u vidu iscepanog postera u kadru sa Bobby-jem, ali svejedno - message received and understood. Sigurno se provuklo još, ko zna koliko brendova, za koje ja nemam pojma da su trenutni must have brendovi. Kao što je, na primer, facemask-kapa(?) koju nosi Masta Wu, deo militari kolekcije online prodavnice Black Scale...pokaza nam on sve detalje na 0:17... Ostali odevni predmeti su ok.

Muzika - Uživancija...(minus iritantne sirene, ali uklopile su se, i tako...). Da postoji koreografija, sigurna sam da bi bila opako dobra (muzika je u tom smislu, vrlo inspirativna). Pomalo isprekidan tok. Tačnije, delovi (ja ukupno prepoznah tri), naizmenično se više 'kače', nego što se nadovezuju jedan na drugi (što prati podelu strofa, prelaza, i refrena, pa ima i smisla). Moderno i slušljivo. Kao što rekoh - Prvi sekund - refren. Ništa intro, ništa postepeno uvođenje u pesmu, odmah bum. Ovo je obrada istoimene Masta Wu-ove pesme, upakovane u YG-jev hiphop projekat...kažu upućeni. Original nisam poslušala. U svakom slučaju, nisam očekivala da će glas MW-a zvučati tako...(paz' sad neodgovarajućih sinonima) sveže, pitko, mlado....NEISTROŠENO '- je prava reč... Nemam pojma, očekivala sam... nešto drugo. A ono, čovek super zvuči. Jedan od onih jedinstvenih glasova, koji izvođača čine prepoznatljivim... Kao što je, uostalom, slučaj i sa drugom dvojicom.

Bush?

E ovo mi je na prvo gledanje/slušanje bila totalna bizarnost. A onda pogledah tekst. Kad tamo ništa... A, u stvari (pop!gasa kaže), tekst ide: 'I'm on the top, so I'm roaring, and crushing it', što zvuči kao da Bobby izgovara: I'm on the top like Barack and Bush (to mu je i bila namera, pretpostavljam, odatle i fotka-maska). Reč 'buhruhk' znači naljutiti se (to get angry, a preveli su kao roaring), dok reč 'booshida' znači (po)lomiti (to break/to crush) - prva zvuči kao Barak, a druga kao Buš. Igra rečima. Bravo Bobby. (Now) We see what you did there...1:26

Ko još nalazi da yayayayayaya u pozadini(negde pri kraju pesme) ima moć da igra po ganglijama...?

Ali Đoganievsko 'AJE' (ah yeah)....puahahahamdkjfjshgsghsjdghldjdkdfh...2:50

U prvi mah me je deo 'iri... iriwabwa' podsetio na pesmu 'Justice' (besramno ubacujem/promovišem ovu tako potcenjenu grupu... kaz aj ken). Volim.

(p.s. tenzija na relaciji Bobby - Rap Mon... #NepotrebnoSkroz)

Do neke sledeće prilike...(subote(?)... Ostajte dobro!

Jedan osmeh?! 

E tako!

(psss, u četvrtak(11.12.2014.) - TopOfKpop2014-kolaboracije)
