Teddy Musings: Kara Biases

I'll admit that I can be shallow as hell when I'm picking biases. That doesn't mean I don't support a group if I think the members are average looking, I just choose the members that stand out to me and tag them as my biases. Is that so wrong? Either way, here are my top three biases from Kara and my explanations for choosing them.

Nicole

Nicole is my all around bias. She has the beauty, voice, and talent that could easily land her a solo career if she wanted. I immediately was pulled to Nicole because she was the only one who spoke fluent English. I found lots of clips of her TV show "Nicole goes to College" (but never the full things!) and loved how honest she was. She's still my favorite member, followed closely by Goo Hara. 

CL's The Baddest Female is on FIRE!

(Originally Published in The SLS)

It's been a good while since we heard anything new from any of the members from 2NE1. The YG camp has been pretty busy promoting Psy and GD, while our favorite ladies from 2NE1 have been laying low. Now, YG has released a monster of a song from the group's fearless leader,CL , that is going to have fans abusing the replay button.

Teddy Musings: Kara

So I've been doing some nostalgic post searching this morning nad came upon my first post I wrote about Kara. Although Kara was one of the first Kpop groups I ever listened to (the second one I found actually) I haven't really written great deal about them. So this post is just dedicated to all their songs and music videos that I love but haven't actually posted on this blog before as well talking about the members. I might do this as a two part series, since talking about how I feel about every member will make this a super long post. Be sure to tell me your favorite songs from the group as well and stay tuned for future posts.

Honey

I can't rememebr how I got so obsessed with this song, but Honey is my all time favorite song by Kara. I listen to both the Korean and Japanese version, but since Japanese is my first "second language" I prefer that version. I love how cute, and bubbly the song is. The song is also the first time I heard Nicole rap.

 

Does Psy Have a Hit with "Gentleman"?

(Originally posted in The SLS Blog)

There was a lot of speculations on whether or not Korean rapper/singer Psy was going to be able to follow up on hist viral hit "Gangnam Style". Now the world will finally be able to see if Psy has what it takes to keep the its attention on him. Psy released the follow up video to Saturday, called Gentleman.  Already, the video has produced over 10 million views on YouTube and the numbers are steadily climbing.

Pondering Over Hiatus and Music Videos

I noticed this sort of pattern of mine when writing on this blog. Whenever my bias groups go on hiatus, so do I. Neither Big Bang nor 2NE1 is making any new music right now, and since my other favorite groups haven't been releasing either, I haven't been posting. But that doesn't mean that I haven't been listening to Kpop or Jpop during my unofficial leave of absence.
