ROFLMAO. Nuff said.
Anyhow, I sense a new dance wave coming over Korea, as I imagine Casseiopeans make up more than half the population of Korea and as a result, will gleefully dance like so everywhere, because they want to be just like their oppas. *heaves a massive sigh*
Although I love my Dong Bang boys, this dance is so =.=”””” and headbanging-inducing. And do the boys not look like the biggest dorks while moving from side to side? Yes, yes they do. But I love me some dorks, so BRING ON THE DORKY MOVES, I say.
Anyhow, I’ve read somewhere that this is a dance routine found solely during the group’s dance rehearsals/practices, which fills me with great joy, because just look at the head-swinging and the butt-waving and their legs moving from side to side and Jae failing in the back (he’s not obviously failing or anything to that extent, but he always seems … a little slower than the rest). ILUSM JAEJOONG.
If you can’t watch the video, I’ll try to recap, but do keep in mind that I’m COMPLETELY fail at dancing and that I can’t describe to save my life.
Anyhow, the vid starts off with the boys talking, and at 00:45, Changmin slowly and reluctantly gets up to demonstrate a certain ingenious dance move (invented by the one and only Monkey boy Micky Yoochun) the Dong Bang boys have been practicing during their rehearsals. And so, at 00:49, the MADNESS BEGINS!
To imitate, begin by standing up straight with your legs together and your arms spread out and parallel to the ground. Then, when the music begins, leave one leg vertical (say, your left) and kick the other leg (your right) out to the right (so that it’s diagonal). Immediately after, bring your right leg back so that it’s vertical, and kick your left leg out to the left. Meanwhile, swing your head from side to side, so that you’re always facing the same direction as the leg being kicked out to the side. To perfect this move, ensure your arms are always spread out to your sides and left parallel to the ground, and ensure that you’re knees are bent, so as to allow for maximum butt-twisting.
You got that?
Excellent. You’re now ready to dance the night away, record yourselves and upload your vids onto Youtube and other video-hosting sites so as to contribute to the new dance movement that this is bound to start up.
EDIT: Eng subs to the praying video can be found here. AND GO SUBSCRIBE TO shinyflowers; she’s uploaded loads of DBSK goodies!
Erm, I fail at life. I’ve broken my hiatus already. =.= ””
But yes, the above video was too cute not to share. Jaejoong’s such a mother; it makes me ashamed of myself, as I can already imagine the sufferings, the torture, the PAIN my future children will go through. XD
And be sure to pause the video at 2:50 … !!! DO YOU NOT NOTICE JUNSU PRAYING?! ZOMG, THAT MAKES MY DAY.
ZOMG, I love these. They’re ridiculously adorable, and I’m a shipper for all things cute, so … I’m all for these three couples.
*gets bitten by rabid fangirls*
*gets strangled by candytrain*
*gets shot by the lovely girls at Shenyuepop forums*
XDDDDD
I’ve realized that I haven’t yet complimented Micky at anything (oooh, except his Love in the Ice perf, which you should check out here, because his high note is absolutely breathtaking and heart attack-inducing. It’s lovely. <3), but ummm, he’s got terrible hair in the CFs. TERRIBLE HAIR. GO CUT IT NOW, MICKY YOOCHUN PARK.
Okay, so thoughts on these vids:
30-second CF:
The music’s great. I’ll admit, it’s probably SNSD singing, but if you’re a regular reader of my blog, I’m actually a fan of some of them. They’re voices aren’t the strongest, per se, and they shake something awful during live performances, but the majority of the girls have got magnetic personalities (errr, Soo young, anybody?! XD), which is really appealing when your vocal talents aren’t stellar.
00:05 to 00:07 is GREAT. LOL, Yoona looked really reallyREALLY pissed off when Micky poked her cheek. Which I can totally identify with, since I’d probably knock him out if he ever did that to me. (Zomg, who am I even kidding?!?!? I’d have heart palpitations + a stroke if MICKY YOOCHUN FROM DBSK EVER POKED MY CHEEK. It’d be like heaven on earth. XD) But yes, out of all the couples, I think I’ll be shipping the Yoochun (XD You don’t even have to change Micky’s or Yoona’s names to combine the two) couple the strongest, because it’s a … plausible relationship. And I think Yoona’s cute, and I’d extol her more, if not for her face being frigging omniscient and you know, EVERYWHERE. Zomg.
The elevator scene was great. Actually, funnily enough, because I’m an odd person and totally don’t deserve to be a DBSK fan (XD), it was the largeness of the elevator that first caught my eye. Nope, not even the Dong Bang Boys were attractive enough to detract from my fascination with this elevator. I mean, LOOK AT HOW BIG IT IS … !!! The elevators I’m used to … aren’t exactly roomy, per se. Actually, they have the abilitiy to make someone claustrophobic, EVEN IF YOU’RE NOT CLAUSTROPHOBIC TO START WITH. How insane is THAT.
*Ahem* But yes, big elevators are great.
LOL at Yunho grabbing Changmin by the waist and Jaejoong becoming what looks like a hunched-over hermit when the elevator suddenly stops. Oh man, beating on these boys is amusing. XD (Don’t get me wrong, I LOVE THEM. I just prefer making fun of them rather than, idk, drooling over them. It’s my way of showing affection – kinda like the boys in elementary school who show their love by making fun of girls. x______x XD)
But I digress.
I’ve said it once, I’m gonna say it again. Yoochun and Yoona make a fantastic couple. Cute stuff.
Changmin and Jessica, on the other hand, aren’t two I would’ve put together in the first place, but for some odd, inexplicable reason, they work … ? (Candytrain, don’t hate me. Please. <3) I mean, I probably won’t ship them, because Jessica seems more like a SISTER or MUM to Changmin, but it’s cute. I love how one of their first scenes together has them looking at PICTURES OF JESSICA. Yay for narcissm. ❤ XD
OMG *BRAIN/HEART EXPLOSION* YOOCHUN PUT YOONA’S HAND TO HIS HEART (err, well, the general area of his heart. Actually your heart is found between the two lobes of your lungs, which makes it more central left, rather than the LEFT SIDE OF YOUR BODY, but the message is clear. XDDDD) … !!! She looks so awkward, I love it. Micky Yoochun, stop scaring people. Especially your lover. Not the way to go, boy.
I love seeing Yunho cook barbecue. It is SO attractive, mainly because I fail at all things involving spatulas, pots, pans, FOOD, brooms, dishes, mops, toilets. Yes, it’s terrible. I LOVE eating, but I can’t even make a proper meal without unintentionally poisoning the eater (err … consumer?), so it’s unfortunate. OMG, he wasn’t barbecuing! *bashes head against desk to rid self of blindness and insanity* I’m seriously LOL-ing hardcore at myself right now, because he was actually PLAYING A GAME WITH TIFFANY! XDDDD *flails arms because she fails at life*
But I digress.
Tiffany needs to stop saying “Awww, wooowww, awwww” and making odd noises. But she’s too pretty, so I can’t exactly hate her.
Errrm … she’s looking at a picture of Jae on her phone, right? OMG, SHE LOOKS SO CUTE SMILING AND WAVING AT THE CAMERA. AND OMG I’m doing a terrible job of disliking her. I wish I had a cellphone I could wave at. Unfortunately though, my family’s stuck in the technological Stone Age, which is terrible for my social life.
I love how, when we return to the elevator, MICKY’S NO LONGER THERE. XDDD He’s hiding in the far left corner of the elevator, but LOL, I actually forgot he was part of the commercial because I couldn’t see him. XDDD
Errrm, I don’t like Changmin’s elevator outfit. It makes his torso look really short, bringing back memories of Henry’s terrible Mario pants. *shudders*
Okay, the escalator … is so unneeded. I mean, WHY ARE THEY EVEN DANCING ON AN ESCALATOR?! This commercial is ridiculously jumpy and broken up.
JUNSU, I KINDA SORTA REALLY LOVE YOU AND YOUR CAMEOS. Seriously, he pops in out of NOWHERE with an umbrella (?) and points at something we, as the viewers, can’t see. And he looks like such a duck, especially with that hair. XD
Hmmm, do I sense awkward tension between Jae and Yunho at the end?! Oh, that is SO MUCH LOVE. Yay for drama in 30-second commericals! But yes, Jae gives killer evil stares – if looks could kill, someone in that elevator would be dead. Immediately. Burned to a crisp, or something of that extent.
I LOVE HOW THE COMMERCIAL ENDS. THOSE ARE GREAT MODEL POSES, YO. And I kind of want to jump into the screen and pose with Changmin because seriously, he’d make a kick-butt model.
15-Second CF:
LOL, from the first scene, I was rofl-ing like crazy.
Junsu makes another random appearance, where he’s seen waiting for the elevator with the oddest expression on his face (it channels one of those greasy gangsters who thinks he’s all that as he stands there picking on some poor individual who’s peed his pants. AND, he looks a bit like the man promoting Lifestyle condoms on those bus ads THAT I’M SUBJECTED TO EVERYDAY. It’s horrifying). Actually, at first, I thought he was waiting for his turn in the washroom, because I saw a sign with the faceless boy/girl on it (you know, the ones on the doors of the washrooms), but I TOTALLY MISSED THE ARROWS POINTING UP AND DOWN. I’m such a failure, it’s almost ridiculous.
Jae has really broad shoulders. And he looks excellent in plaid. I kinda want to take him home with me, plunk him in my bed and keep him there forever. AWAY FROM ALL THOSE CRAZY FANGIRLS. XD
GAH. FIJEARHFEFH Tiffany’s smile’s way too cute for her own good. I look like a fool when I smile, so imagine how envious I must be.
The answer is VERY.
I’m going to refrain from commenting on the let’s-show-them-on-the-verge-of-making-out-but-not- completely-making-out-because-we-want-to-keep-this-PG-and-refrain-from-aggravating-fangirls-and-fanboys-any-more-than-necessary-which-could-result-in-narsty-legal-situations-such-as-lawsuits-due-to-heart-attacks-and-strokes-brought-on-by-this-CF, because candytrain must be on the verge of collapsing. *pats her on the head and chucks Jessica out the window, because canned ice cream (XD) is obviously cooler and MUCH more compatible*
Oh wow, another 1000+ post.
I SHOULD BE STUDYING. GAH. BAH. FYAKFHEFHAJKHJKHF.
My eight-year-old sister’s been infatuated with her joke book lately, and as a result, I’ve been subjected to countless terrible jokes.
Yes, that’s how pathetic my life is.
Anyhow, I’ve been finding it tough to stay motivated for exam studying. Actually, it’s pretty much non-existent right now, since I can’t seem to muster up the energy to crack open my books and well, read them? Yes, I’m mucho fail at life.
Choosing a university program is also giving me a headache too, seeing as I’ve no clue what’s right for me. I’m most likely going into chartered accountancy, WHICH ISN’T A BAD THING AT ALL, although I’m motivated to become an accountant for all the wrong reasons. Quel horrible.
I SUCK AT FRENCH. I’M SORRY.
Anyway, I’ve been youtubing like mad as per usual lately and I’ve favourited lots of goodies, so be sure to check out my blog in three weeks for a video-heavy post! DBSK is so mega-addictive on youtube; it’s doing terrible things to my social life and my ability to string together a coherent sentence.
But, because I don’t feel like ending this post without at least posting ONE video, I shall present you with … THIS:
HAMBAGAH! Hambagah, yo!
Omigod, I love it when celebrities fail as much as I do; it gives me an oh-so-lovely warm feeling inside.
I AM NOT SADISTIC, NOR AM I MALEVOLENT. I DO NOT TAKE PLEASURE IN THE FAILURES OF OTHERS.
Omigrapes, is that NOT the prettiest smile you’ve EVER seen?!
I don’t understand why this boy constantly hides his smile behind his hand, when it’s so beautiful … !!! I mean, first off, his teeth are so bloody white.
SO BLOODY WHITE.
I wish my teeth were that white. Bad sadly, having had braces for (only) 9 months has tarnished them and made them a rather putrid colour.
Secondly, HE’S GOT A DIMPLE … !!! Fangirls everywhere, rejoice!!!!
And I seriously want to grab his cheeks and give them a squeeze. Because I’m cool like that. XD
Aish, first Junsu sleeping. Now, Jaejoong’s smile.
Aish. School starts in two days, and I’m slightly apprehensive for its start, as I’ve yet to finish craploads of homework.
WHY DO I DO THIS TO MYSELF?!
I’m such a procrastinator, I don’t think I’ll ever be able to reform myself, which is rather unfortunate, as I want to be the head of some multicorporation one day.
WHY DO I SET SUCH RIDICULOUS GOALS FOR MYSELF?!
But yes, the stress factor has totally gone up here. Actually, it’s jumped so high that the fire alarm will soon be set off by my spontaneously combusting, which in turn, will totally melt the harddrive of my already-busted computer (which, after one year of use, has not yet been attacked by a virus. Thank you, thank you, I’m amazing. XD).
Anyway, moving on to happier subjects. XD
As all four of my readers may have noticed, I’ve changed my layout … !!!! (Thanks candychu for your very nice comment. You’re an absolute darling. :)) For the record, I’ve no clue what I did, really. I used to change my livejournal layouts like a chameleon changes colour and like a snake sheds skin, so I figured it was time I jazzed things up with the appearance of my wordpress blog, which, btw, was totally boring me to death. And yes, the image header is most definitely from the lovely j-drama, Nobuta wo Produce, which I’ve been shamelessly promoting on everyone else’s blog, but my own. I’m really quite unashamed though – it must be the 10% asian in me and the 90% something else. (I haven’t quite decided where I belong. XD YAH, it’s all in my journey to self-actualization.)
And, woot, my seeds have begun germinating! This won’t mean anything to you if you’re not in my biology class, and I may seem like a freak right now, but I DON’T CARE, because my radish seeds are finally germinating! Hehe, I’m slightly impatient, as you may have noticed. XD And I use “XD” a ridiculous amount. But, like I said, it’s all contributing to my goal of becoming self-actualized.
Yes, anyhow, like I’ve aforementioned, this post is completely pointless, and only being written because I’ve nothing better to do (besides the four lab writeups, the some 100 ecology questions, the 11 English passages to analyze that I’ve on my list of things-to-do, but somehow, this is more exciting. I wonder why … ?), but I shall leave you with this gem (because I evidently don’t promote Youtubeenough on this blog. XD).
Skip the following section if you’d like to save your eyes:
OMG, IS HE NOT ADORABLE, THIS XIAH JUNSU?!?!??!?! HE MAKES ME GO AHFEHFKHFSDHF ALL THE TIME. SERIOUSLY, I COULD EVEN SEE HOW SHINY (AND BUTTON-LIKE) HIS NOSE WAS. XDDDDDD
Yes, ahem, fangirly moment over. I shall attempt to grab a hold of myself. 😉
But, anyway, I’ve never really seen Junsu as being eye-candy. XD (Please contain yourselves. I will start praising him soon, I promise.) He’s always been, I’m sorry, the least good-looking out of all the members, concerning my personal preferences and what *I* personally look for in a guy celebrity. Which sounds like a terribly shallow thing to say, but I will get to the good stuff.
That is not to say that he isn’t adorable. What he doesn’t have in looks, he definitely makes up for in personality. Out of all the members, I find that he has the most dynamic personality, the most welcoming grin, and is probably the most appealing member after Jaejoong, but that’s because Jaejoong was the first member I was ever attracted to, so I’m incredibly biased. He’s completely date-able and from what I see on-camera (as if I’d ever be able to see him off-camera XD), he’d be perfect boyfriend material (or best friend material. I’ll take either!). Plus, can you even begin to imagine Junsu SERENADING to you?! That completely blows my mind (not only because it’ll never happen to me XDDD), but because it’d be oh-so-perfect (like dipping into a vat of delicious cream XD) and would be a possible scenario concerning my much-tooo-early demise. (Dude, I’d drop dead just seeing him in the flesh. Gah!).
But yes, it’s quite endearing seeing him wake up. Although it feels slightly like an invasion of privacy XDDDD, it’s nice seeing him act (somewhat) like a normal person, one evidently exhausted by his work – to the point where he grabs a couple winks here and there, no matter what position he’s in. Of course, immediately after noticing the camera, it was evident that he put on his on-camera personality again, but still, it was nice seeing the somewhat real, albeit asleep, Xiah Junsu. And he was mucho adorable (so adorable, I think my heart stopped beating for a couple secs) when he was just sitting there, blinking and (Thank God!) not noticing the camera a foot away from his face. XDDD
For now, I’m simply going to state that my attraction to Junsu has grown slightly a whole lot stronger after seeing one clip of him waking up. But, really, as a fan, it’s nice to see this evidently, quite real side of him. Now, personally, he doesn’t seem so removed from the rest of society, but truly seems like a real, living, breathing human being (and not some mindless robot following LSM’s orders).
Nonetheless, although I’m aware that tis the life of a celebrity and his camera-man, I still feel like I’m intruding on his privacy by watching this clip. I mean, the poor boy evidently wanted a nap, and I dunno about you, but I definitely can’t sleep if a camera’s trained on me. Actually, just last weekend at my church’s sleepover, as I was dropping off to sleep, I felt something staring at me, and when I opened my eyes, there was my friend’s FLESLFHLHF camera lens right in my face. It was slightly disturbing (wow! My one minute of fame. XD), and resulted in a really awkward moment between my friend and I, which was quickly overcome by my consenting to having my unattractive picture taken. Still, from that one incident, I feel (or maybe I’m deluding myself into feeling) like I can identify with not just Junsu’s, but any celebrity’s, inhibition and lack of privacy. I’m completely aware that this is what celebrities and public figures have to put up with, but to not even be able to take a private nap without a camera totally in your face is just wrong in my reality. That said, I realize how completely hypocritical I’m being in publicizing this clip on my blog. But, really, I’ve provided both sides to some sort of argument (I really, actually, don’t know what or why I’m even arguing. XD), and this clip is honestly going to be publicized, no matter what I write.
Changmin = so much ♥ in this clip. I’ve never laughed SO HARD while watching a DBSK perf, just because they haven’t really given me reason to, but Changming, you complete me. Seriously.
That boy is pure gold at improvising and throwing random noises out just for kicks. And he definitely sounded like a (or a multitude) of dying cat(s). Actually, I think dying cats would’ve been more pleasing to the ear than he was. ❤ I can totally imagine the biggest smirk on his face after singing that note (but the retarded camera totally panned towards Jae’s face instead >.<).
And, just on a random note, I’m SO GLAD Jaejoong’s hair no longer looks like that. So Glad.
Edit: Download Insaand Tonight before reading this post. 🙂 Thanks, sweets.
Hey, my lovelies! ♥
I’m at school right now, and I’ve decided to fawn over DBSK some more during my academic prep period (a.k.a. spare) rather than um … work. LOL. I’m really academically- inclined, aren’t I? 😉
Anyhow, I’ve been listening to Jaejoong’s solo of “Insa”, as well as DBSK’s “Tonight”, and oh em geeeeee, I am so in love with these two songs. They are so much love that I’m probably going to listen to them a ridiculous amount tonight. So much love that angels in heaven must stop their harp-playing whenever they hear it; so much love that fairies must stop flapping their ridiculous wings and spraying their fairy dust everywhere; so much love that Rumpelstiltskin wouldn’t dare steal another child after listening to these two songs in succession (Kay, you caught me. I just wanted an excuse to use “Rumpelstiltskin” in my story. Loser tendencies, BE STILL.). Heeeee.
First, Insa. The beginning piano interlude is absolutely gorgeous. (Is that him playing? Someone, enlighten me please! And then, do be a darling and send me the score so I can play it nonstop and annoy the hell out of my siblings). I actually like his version much better than that by the Dong Bang boys, possibly because I feel his voice is most suited for this type of ballad. With this type of song, he’s able to convey his emotions extremely well and so very clearly, which is excellent for him, as for such a consistent singer like him (where his voice sounds the same in almost every single song), I find it difficult to pick up on whatever feelings he may be trying to express to the listener. And, as a singer, that is the last thing you want to happen – where the audience is unable to identify with you and the song. Of course, one can argue against this by saying that a song is essentially art, transcending mere lyrics, and that each listener may grasp a different emotion from the music, which makes it that much more personal. Nonetheless, it is through his or her own interpretation of the song that a singer can really make the song his own work of art, and to have the listener understand exactly what he or she is trying to communicate is half the fun and entirely the point, I believe. If an audience member came up to me after my live performance of a particular song and proceeded to elaborate upon the emotions he felt during the performance, I’d feel so accomplished and joyful if the emotions he felt mirrored mine exactly. It essentially establishes that connection between you and your audience, and if you’ve at least reached out to one individual and made them feel what you feel, you’ve succeeded in your goal; you’ve nurtured that newborn relationship between you and that particular member of the audience. What a beautiful thought.
I digress once again, though.
Anyway, although I understood notone word of the song (except for possibly “fly away”, but with these boys, I never actually know if the word I’m hearing is the errrm … correct interpretation of the word? Really, if they need someone to assist them with their English pronounciation, pinkandsparkly and I freely offer our services!!! Nevermind the fact that we live on completely different continents. That’s completely besides the point. =P And Nanshi, you too, maybe?) , I felt so … sad. To the point of tears. And there are very few songs out there that have been the cause of my tears. Call me cold-blooded, call me downright odd and so … out there, but I don’t cry very easily in situations that don’t involve mes parents (or any parent-figure for that matter) or the other members of my family. Really, the only parts in Korean/Taiwanese/Japanese dramas that I’ve cried at involve the miscommunication between family members (especially innocent parents and their evil spawn or evil parents and innocent spawn) and the subsequent pain that results. I, however, am unable to cry when a character’s lover dies, or when … anything horrible happens between the main lovers of a drama, in fact. Yeah, weird, I know.
I can’t even cry at my graduations. I have this sinking feeling in the pit of my stomach that I won’t be crying at prom this year. And that I’ll be the only one to not cry.
… In fact, I’m usually the only one trying to force myself to cry …
How pathetic. LOL.
I digress though. Like always.
Really, the point is, Jaejoong emoted so well (which reminds me – must look up “emote” and see if it really is a verb), and I can’t always say that for him, so kudos to him. Also, it was SO INSANELY BEAUTIFUL (uh huh, that’s right. I brought out ALL THREE FONT STYLES.) when he sang “Fly Away”. I wanted to CRY when he started singing that section. And then the orchestra picked up and increased in volume.
And I died.
Really.
It was THAT GOOD. That’s right. You want to listen to it RIGHT NOW, don’t you? I’ll upload it in my next post, because everyone DBSK fangirl should have a copy of this song. Really. It’s a shame if you don’t. (AND DOWNLOAD “LOVE IN THE ICE”. IF YOU DON’T, I’LL COME HUNT YOU DOWN AND COMMIT MULTIPLE UNSPEAKABLE ACTS AGAINST YOU, SUCH AS COVERING YOUR BED AND CLOTHES IN KETCHUP.)
… I’m really a juvenile person. Sorry. =D
And then “Tonight”. I absolutely adore Junsu’s starting notes. He sings this long succession of notes (so hard to describe), essentially, but he does it so beautifully, effortlessly going up and down subsequent notes and making it an orgasmically perfect start to the song. And I’m not sure who hums after him (horrible with identifying voices. My bad.), but it’s also really nice. I have the sneaking suspicion it’s Jaejoong, but then again, I also think it could be Micky because I am that bad with voices.
Junsu’s absolutely amazing at these filler notes, where he’s essentially not singing any particular word/s, per se, but instead sings these long, gorgeous-sounding, full notes that I . CAN’T . GET . ENOUGH . OF . He does it in every song, where these notes sound totally improvised, but just so right, that it’d be so unfortunate and sowrong if they removed it from the song. He can go up and down scales so effortlessly using solely his voice, and then he’ll sing these long, pure notes that are so ridiculously high, you want to steal his voice and place it in a box that sings to you (errr … lol … radio?). I’m going incoherent just listening to his voice, especially in “Tonight”.
I really could go on and on and on and on about each of the boys’ voices, and then go on and on and on and on about the special effects and mixes in each song. But I won’t, as I’ve written more than 1000 words about two songs already. Ha.
I should limit my 1000-word spazzes to once a month. Heeee.
❤
I love beautiful music. It puts me in this insanely happy mood that I can’t get rid of, and it’s such a good feeling, I never want it to go away. Heeee.
Tomorrow’s ♥ Day. Lovely. Though I’ll be spending it in solitude, I pretty much don’t care. As retarded as this sounds, I’ll buy myself a box of chocolates, download some sappy music (read: Savage Garden-esque), put DBSK’s “Love in the Ice” on repeat (kay, maybe I should offer my english services to SM entertainment, cos what exactly does “Love in the Ice” mean? Someone, please, enlighten me.), and spend Couple’s Day all by myself. I’ll just love myself.
I really sound like an old fart/hermit type thing right now, don’t I?
In which case, do let me discuss DBSK’s “Love in the Ice” in detail. And I shall refer you to the lovely nanshi, who I’ll eventually get back for getting me ridiculously hooked to this amazing single.
Really, words won’t even come close to describing my feelings for this song. The boys have brought so much to the table in performing this song. Really. And in performance, I’m referring to the Soul Power at Tokyo Summit one.
Yes. Google it now. THAT ONE.
Watch it, and I swear you will most definitely melt into a great big puddle of goo. Or dissolve into nothingness. Or burst into tears, like I almost did. Why?
Because they’re just so good. Omigod. Really, they are. AHFDSFHK.
First, Jae. Oh, Joongie. (Wow. I feel like a retard for using that endearing … name – if you can even call it that – to refer to him.) You complete me. (Okay. Now, I feel like scrapping this entire entry, just because it’s absolute mush already. And I’m not even close to being done.) I remember him, at some point, saying he wanted to improve on the emotional aspect of his singing. I believe he then referred to Junsu, saying how Junsu had an advantage in the sense that he knew exactly how to convey his emotions through his singing. (Kay, I’m not sure if what I just wrote is true, or if I’m creating my own reality right now. Which is totally okay. I’m fine with that.)
…
Um. I think with this ONE performance, Jae has reached his freaking goal. My boy emoted so well, it was amazing. I wanted to cry just watching his facial expressions. I mean, sure, he looked constipated at certain points, but really, if that’s how he expresses his feelings, I am so fine with that. SO FINE. It’s just that … his emotions were seriously INTERTWINED with his voice. When he wailed out the lyrics, I could feel a clamp on my heart, and despite the fact that there was an obvious language barrier, I could feel everything Jae was feeling. And that’s what makes a singer amazing.
Omg. I’ve just become a real, honest-to-God fangirl, haven’t I?
And Yunho. *cries* I’ve never actually heard his voice. I still can’t tell the difference between his and Yoochun’s voices (which could be mainly due to the fact that I’m absolutely TERRIBLE in differentiating voices in a group, unless there is an obvious gender difference, or an evident distinction due to puberty coughJunsucough). That’s why youtube is seriously saving my life with their performance videos, as now, I’ve pretty much memorized who sings what in the song.
So, Yunho is absolute mindblowingly, orgasmically fantastic at harmony. That’s how much I love his harmony and deep voice. And turning his mic up during the performance so he could actually be heard, rather than blend in, totally helped. I mean, the boy’s basically known as the leader of the group, and a good dancer, … but a singer … ? That coupled with the fact that no one can ever hear his freaking voice is enough to label him as the *worst singer in DBSK*.
To all that, I say whatever. Yeah, just listen to this performance. And be at the mercy of his beautiful, beautiful voice. Because, omg, he has the type of voice that goes with everything and anything and it is so wonderful, I want to cry, because he’s improved to the point that I can’t even put together a proper sentence, because I’m so proud of him (look, Ma, at least I put some freaking commas in). And he has a really powerful voice too. No joke. I mean, when he sings “Don’t be afraid”, he really kills that line (kills, as in totally pwns, as in he OWNS this line = the good connotation of “kills” basically). It’s amazing, he’s amazing, DBSK’s amazing, and so’s Micky Yoochun.
OMG. Tell me Yoochun’s high note during Junsu’s solo is not absolutely AMAZING (I’ve run out of adjectives to use, so um, read my level of excitement through my use of italics and bold-type font and CAPITALS). I basically almost pulled the headphones away from my head the first time I heard it, put on a disgusted face the second time, and almost died from happiness and giddiness and pure joy the third time. (Yes, I know yoochun looks like a monkey while hitting this note, but whatevs, we can totally excuse him, just cos his voice is pure heaven.) Chunnie (omg. there I go again) has an amazingly powerful, deep, sexy, rawr voice while singing this song. And I love him for it. I really do.
And JUNSU. His voice is amazing. I will always maintain this. Unique, but amazing. And his solo is ABSOLUTE LOVE, especially when you physically SEE him singing it, because, it’s just, blardy fantastic and so fitting. I could recognize his voice anywhere, and for that, I thank puberty. I really do. (I’msuchafreakIknow).
Changmin’s growing up, too! Granted, he wasn’t given that many singing parts in this song, but whatevs, I say. He looks like a man, he acts like a man, and one day, he’ll totally be able to control his voice perfectly. DBSK is sooooooo the perfect group for him. FO SHO.
Alright, I’ve almost written 1000 words on this song, so um, go listen to it right now, and leave me a comment. (Don’t worry. I won’t be offended if you don’t) But lemme know what you think, cos the song is SO TOTALLY GOOD ENOUGH to be commented on.
HELLO BOYS. Why are you so young? And why do I feel so pedo when I look at you? And why is you first song called "Noona, You're So Pretty"? AND HOMG, THE HEECHUL-LOOKALIKE'S ONLY FOURTEEN. *headdesk* ♥
