♥ You And I

It's been a while, hasn't it. Well, life has been pretty busy even though I'm actually on a long break from uni. This is what you get when you procrastinate, I'm telling you. There were so many things I pushed back before I went overseas earlier this year. So now I have to finish all those stuff before I have to return overseas again next year. *sigh*

This time I'd like to introduce you to another good singer that I grew fond of lately: Park Bom. She's a part of 2NE1, which is another awesome girl group (and might be the only girl group that I'll ever approve of). This is her solo piece called 'You And I'.

Isn't this song just lovely? It has both the elements of giddiness and sadness, which I like. It feels fresh, and I just love her voice. There aren't many people with that voice who can pull it of in a song like this. I wish she could make more solo pieces and produce her own solo album, just like TaeYang.

Speaking of albums, I just received the news that TVXQ's new album will be released on the 5th of January. Well, I just can't feel the excitement at all. It's not that I don't believe in them as much anymore, but it will never be the same without all five of them. I know Yunho and Changmin will be able to pull this off their own way, and they'll be able to make us proud. But Yunho and Changmin aren't TVXQ, JYJ isn't TVXQ. TVXQ only exists when the five of them are together. Otherwise, who would be able to sing Bolero or Love In The Ice as beautifully anymore? I bet even Shinee can't sing it as good as TVXQ did, even being the same five membered group that they are...

Just look at the photo teaser, SM is just being ridiculous!!

I understand that these people enjoy being the entrepreneur of culture and style. And in a few month's time, this new make-up style will be a hit and smoking hot-stuff! But if you think about it right now, it's just ridiculous. I thought JYJ's heavy eye-line for The Beginning was already too heavy. But this? This is like flipping our minds into believing that right is wrong and wrong is right! I'm being honest, and I don't really like this new style... But I will still love Changmin and Yunho for who they are, and I will still admire them for their hardwork, so I will keep on supporting them.

And would you like me to tell you about something else? Have you heard of SM The Ballad? Ok, first I have to be honest that I like the song 'Miss You'. And maybe a couple more songs from them. But I still have to say this. SM should stop trying to find a replacement for TVXQ, because there won't be any. Sure the four boys can take those high notes, but singing isn't just about getting to the notes. And what's with using Kyuhyun and Jonghyun? What are they expecting from fans and netizens? To forget about TVXQ and move on? Hell no! Until the day they'll be able to find another five boys that are as good as Yunho, Changmin, Jaejoong, Yoochun and Junsu put together, they will never be able to replace TVXQ in any of our hearts. Period.

And as a side note, 'Miss You' has a pretty good composition. But there wasn't any spark that could get me to listen to it for thousands and thousands of times when SM The Ballad sang it. I don't think I'll even remember it after 30 days. Unlike Love in The Ice and Doushite, just to name a few. I'm not bashing, dears. I'm just stating an opinion. A factual one at that. haha~
