Brown Eyed Girls reveal "Sixth Sense" MV

Brown Eyed Girls have made their comeback are stomping all over the other girl groups. Their latest song MV, "Sixth Sense" is finally here The song is just so different from anything that's out right now. It isn't sugary sweet, nor does it sound like these club hoppinhg songs that are getting a lot of attention now. Instead the girls took a 360 and decided to make a cool and sexy comeback with jazz themed, upbeat songs that you can play at a cafe or dance club. It's so catchy and even fans who are not fund of jazz music will catch themselves bobbing their heads along with this song.

LONELY(Japanese.Ver) Short.Ver


This came out a few days ago and I'm loving the scenes design for this PV. The set actually works better than the Korean music video if you ask me. It pushes the fact that the girls really are lonely as there are no people in the background and the thick fog also adds despair to the video. I'm just mad that I have to learn the Japanese to this one after I just finished memorizing the Korean. How come YG is cutting all their Japanese videos short? What do you guys think of the video? Better than the Korean version or not?

Demi Lovato Covers SNSD's Song

Well, imitation is the best form of flattery.
 Former Disney star Demi Lovato must be an undercover Sone -SNSD fan- and is now showing her love for the girls through her new album. The starlet has decided to add an English cover of SNSD's "Born to Be a Lady"  which has been retitled "Mistake". Although the original song, which is from SNSD's Japanese album, was about finding love, Lovato's version is about losing love and never looking back. Remember the song was remade in English and Lovato has bought the rights to the song.Check out the song and decide who you think performed it better.

Check out who The Prophet thought sung the song better.

Born to Be a Lady -SNSD

Clips of Kara members speaking English

I guess I'm in a Kara craze lately. I'm so excited that they are getting so much attention for their music! Ryan Seacrest actually featured them on his blog and they've been winning music shows left and right! So in honor of these five great ladies, you're going to be seeing a lot of posts about them. This post features a few clips of the girls speaking English. Watch the videos after the break. Hope you enjoy, KARA Fighting!

Wonder Girls debuting American Album - Next Year!?

It seems as if fans have been waiting forever to hear what the Wonder Girls have prepared for their English album, but now they'll have to wait even longer. Although the their album was originally scheduled to be release towards the end of 2011, it has been revealed that the girls won't be releasing their first full length English album until 2012. This comes as no surprise since the group has been on a busy schedule. They've been working on their American album's debut, completing their TeenNick movie Wonder Girls at the Apollo, and preparing for their Korean comeback during November's girl group rush. The plan is to release the album when their movie is premiered, that way the girls can combine the movie and CD promotions together. I really can't wait to see what the girls come up with. I'm wondering if they'll have the same concept as before or if they'll decide to switch it up a bit.

PS. The Wondergirls have changed their Twitter name. It's now @wondergirls. Remember to follow them (and ME!) on twitter!

After School Red "In the Night Sky" MV + lyrics




I'm months behind on After School. I'm not a huge fan of their music, so I wasn't going crazy when they announced that they were splitting into sub groups. Well this is Sub group After School RED, the sexy side of After School. It consists of members Kahi, Nana, JungAh, Uee (which is surprising since I think of her as really sweet). I've added the romanized and translated lyrics for your pleasure. Enjoy!

Ludacris Collaborating with YG artists + GD TOP advancing to Japan


There may be a possibility that American rapper Ludacris will be working with 2NE1 on their American album! Allkpop recently announced that YG Entertainment and Ludacris signed an agreement to do some collaborations with YG artists. Altough

KARA Channel Live Episode One!

Am I the ONLY Kamilia who missed seeing Kara live? Not only did I miss it the first time they had a live showcase on their YouTube channel, but I missed it today too! Thank goodness the shows were recorded so I don't feel as left out as I could be. The only problem with the videos is they haven't added any translations to the episode

Just Checking in :)

Hey guys! Teddy is still alive and well, just been tied up with school and other business to post regularly. So to keep my blog in your mind, I'm checking in with a few videos. I realize that I haven't uploaded the Japanes version of some of 2NE1's songs, so here's "Hate You" and "I Am The Best". Please enjoy and stay with me!

PS. Only one more week before I reveal the prizes to my first ever giveaway! Stay tuned!

I do not like CL's rap in this song. Teddy could have written something way better for her. Or she could have done something better, heck! At least Minzy's part was good, right?

f(x) Live performances

Here's a bit more of f(x)! This time I found a lot of performances of them and decided to post them! I still wish Amber got more screen time - but whatever. I know this may be insane, but wouldn't you love to see Amber in a dress? i know she's a tomboy, but that doesn't she's ruled it completely out! I think that'd be a sweet picture to catch!

Kara is making a Comeback!

Hey! I've been super busy with school and stuff, and though I've known this for a while it took me forevor to tell you guys this, but - Kara is coming back! Well they haven't been gone, just busy promoting their Japanese work and competing against SNSD, but they are planning to make their Korean comeback this month. Their album has been released early as a way to get ahead of their competition. Not only that but the girls have their own YouTube channel where you can watch videos of the girls preparing for their comeback!

Videos of Chocolat's Tia

So you all should know of the new rookie girl group Chocolate by now. I've found these videos TIa- you know, the one hogging all the camera time in their debut video- and thought you guys would find it interesting. Sorry, the clips are not translated, but it's fun to watch though.

*I have no idea what she was saying, but commenters are saying her accent is bad. This makes me want to work harder on my Korean.
