IDK about EXO/BAP, the only song of both these groups I ever listened to was 'One Shot'. I literally know nothing else. But Exo fans are retarded on every forum and BAP well their wannabe-gangsta appeal is ridiculous to me. Once 2NE1 was my fav. kpop group but I'm pretty much done with them.
Ye true but that comeback is a new polished Tiny-G at least listen to the song once. It's alrdy better than any 2NE1 release this year (I know I know low bar ) I don't care bout most groups now... I only know Busker Busker slays anyone and everyone, the only music worth listening too... in K-music
Fine I'll give it one listen later on

I only know Busker Busker slays anyone and everyone, the only music worth listening too... in K-music 48G pretty much ruined my interest in Kpop I casually listen to new releases but there was close to nothing that impressed me in kpop this year. Hello Venus and 9 Muses are the only ones I follow more closely. Last year I watched a ton on K-variety shows, after watching all those 48-shows Korean variety is kinda dull.

Well you have entered a better utopia... be thankful... I'm not sure how long Pledis is going to keep themselves afloat since all their talents is flopping in recent years... 9Muses isn't making real headway either despite such a long hiatus period.... Well I now preferred creation music like Roy Kim, Busker Busker, and Huk Gak... at least its really called music... Japanese variety have always been more interesting and exciting, all Korean variety cares about it the idols' image, romance...etc ah dull stuffs for oldies like us... Only intriguing for kids who haven't experienced the real adult world yet...

yeah, really disappointed in it They all look different (in a bad sense unfortunately) and the song is too annoying to me esp in comparison to Minimanimo. It's too bad - I had hope for them too! This year all the guy groups have been acing the K-Pop music scene for me. VIXX, EXO, Roy Kim, etc. Love 'em all. I'd been keeping an eye on most of them and they're recent releases were really appealing to me. Not even mentioning their MVs which were fantastic as well (G.R.8.U., Wolf, etc.)

But most female group comebacks in 2013 have been disappointing to me. Hm basically only 9 Muses and Hello Venus songs delivered to me. With the recent rumours about Nicole/Jiyoung leaving Kara/not extending their contracts it's gonna be even more saddening in 2014. I wonder if I judge kpop harder since I'm less and less biased due to my further exploration of 48G.

benstack ch3mistI agreed with Benji on the male groups totally dominating the Kpop market for 2013... Well its actual easier to package and market male groups, also because higher level of sales is expected, they can have higher budget to do more awesome stuffs.. While girl groups (apart from some) don't get that kind of budget, hence its all really more lukewarm stuffs.... But then again, girl groups have been depending on their sexy/cute appeal rather than their own strength. Its actually the battle of the producers rather than the group.

Yesterday's performance of T-ara (there's also the one of today but it's w/o Boram's rap so screw that )
Both PVs benstack kanonnocakama I guess there's no need to tag you right? Both songs are better than any T-ara release this year (well N4 is an awful comparison ^^ but still) My bias got some more lines as usual and even a cute rapping part. Regarding her being 27 she's still more kawaii than 80 % of kpop girls My precious little porcelain doll

If this is T-ara's best standard, then they should be gone even before KARA.... With such generic releases, no wondered IU is able to slay the charts with those 80's musics... The Kpop music bar is completely set down with releases of such quality... But still glad for you that your bias is getting heavier role

With such generic releases, no wondered IU is able to slay the charts with those 80's musics... The Kpop music bar is completely set down with releases of such quality... But still glad for you that your bias is getting heavier role Well for T-ara standard 2013 it's pretty solid; even though that doesn't mean much in the big picture. I haven't seen any sales yet, are the numbers so bad compared to IU? IDK why random kpop fans on forums going crazy about Busker², IU lately. It's probably hipster time in kpop, the retro stuff going hyphy Last year nobody on AKP cared about Busker² and people ranted about IU's Jap. stuff for ages. Now that most big groups ain't able to deliver (2NE1, Kara, T-ara until yesterday) people look out for other stuff. It's weird. But I guess it's deserved since the average bar of kpop is decreasing further.
Btw who's the prettiest T-ara member to you? (if there's none I don't care state the lesser evil )

Btw who's the prettiest T-ara member to you? (if there's none I don't care state the lesser evil ) I believe (don't mind me saying), your taste of Kpop is much lower than when we first met... This is No.9 This is The Red Shoes Not to mention, No.9 is the only selling song of T-ara vs the Whole Album that IU is slaying the charts with.... Busker Busker's music is creative, its unique, non-generic... thats why its drawing them legendary status... In a sense they can sit on par with PSY in Korea, of cos such music isn't well-received in the west. Nah, you didn't read through the hundreds (overstating slightly) of Busker Busker's rise to fame and bringing about the change in Kpop industry in favor of the non-idols.... If its not for Gangnam Style, they would have taken the honors of Top Song, Top Album, Top Earning....etc.... Except they are indie so they don't qualify for most award shows.
I don't really have any likable members in T-ara.... if you just want a name... then I guess I'll stick with Soyeon then....

Haha I didn't mean to discredit Busker² since I literally haven't listened to any of their songs ever. My kpop taste hasn't changed, my interest in kpop just decreased exponentially since january so I barely check new kpop stuff. I watch MVs once and mostly don't even touch live performances. I listen to the stuff ppl link me, that's about it. And with hipster I was reffering to Busker² indie status. KPS/AKP didn't really care about them from what I've read but on Kayo everyone went crazy about their recent release for some days.

You should, its one of the creation music of Kpop in recent years... Its just human nature... In 2011, nobody gives a damn about SISTER, since 2012 they are being worshipped for every step they walked... Before July 2012, for the past 11yrs, nobody gives a crap about a fat guy called PSY, after July 2012, they are just short of creating a status of him to pray in front of... In 2012, Ailee is just a newbie nobody, in 2013 she is now the Diva of Kpop female soloist.... Same applies to Busker Busker and Roy Kim...

Kahi's new solo comeback Song overall is kinda nice but the chorus annoys me alrdy and the rapping part of the guy is unnecessary to me. Overall that makes it mediocre to me New 9-Muses song tummy-showing outfits are a big plus for me cakama if you know their members guess who's my bias benstack kanonnoThat's literally the worst chorus of the year , how can shinee fans be so delulu to stan that sh*t hinata
Haha again nothing for cakama Maybe IU's live of today

I don't really click any content of male acts (only the stuff that gets linked to me) I'm listening to some Busker² songs right now. It's xx times better than the usual kpop but it seems to be a different league. I don't mind Ailee I only like Heaven.

ch3mistI don't really know 9muse... Kahi's review is already given, so I'll spare her because of Uee.. Hmm... Dolls > Wild > Gun.... Even on 3 comebacks a year, their progress is still very far behind for a 2010 group.... I'm not sure they have earned enough to break-even at all.... Nah... SUJU/SHINee/EXO.... all are bad in music to me.... If anything I only listens to BB.... But bad music or not, doesn't matter, Kpop is not about selling music, its about selling idol power.... and SME have plenty of that... Nobody is giving awards for the most creative or best listening song in Kpop, its always the most popular.... whoever gets the sales and the voting wins... simple as that... Thats why groups like 9muse, HV...etc will almost never going to reach the next level.... Well IU is the better of the lots.... I don't mind watching her....

Music-wise they deliver better songs than most more popular girl groups. I agree on your ranking of their songs (But I still like the older songs more News > Ticket > Dolls > Wild > Gun ) Vocal-wise 9Muses/HV are pretty solid their average should be top tier in kpop. OH well that's true for most upcoming groups though, Spica/Ladies' Code have great vocalists as well but that mean nothing for popularity, sadly. Anyway watch that 2min unplugged performance of 9 Muses and my fav. 9Muses song 'News'. Only 4 members perform and my bias is one of them. You have 25 % chance to get it right (probably much more since you could rate them regarding my taste ) Do it do it, onegai

Do most group really have even 5yrs to mature to A-list? I doubt so, and B-list is not going to cut it now, cos earnings average is going down with so much more groups cutting the pie... I'm going on a limp to say its the Black hair one?

I'm going on a limp to say its the Black hair one? Wrong Well I also like Moon Hyuna (black haired one) but she's only my no.3 The girl right next to her is my no.1 in 9 Muses, Hyemi. For the sake of completeness my no.2 is Eunji, the short-haired girl and main dancer.
