(Group) C.N.BLUE (씨엔블루)
« on: May 31, 2010, 02:58:29 AM »
I first heard about this group because of Yonghwa's involvement in We Got Married w/ Seohyun of SNSD. I checked and double checked to see if there was a thread for them - didn't see one. The group originally debuted in Japan with the mini-album Now or Never. They have since released a full Japanese album, ThankU, a second Japanese mini-album Voice, and two Korean language mini-albums Bluetory, and Bluelove.

They've even been Buffalaxed already!



And, have been accused of plagiarism!



Not bad for a group that only made their debut a few months ago. :P

What do you guys think about the new single The Way? I personally like it, maybe not as good as I'm a loner or LOVE but still good :)

I've always loved 'I'm a Loner' but 'Love' sounds like such a mess to me, or at least it did in this perf tonight... first time I've heard it though XD



Is it just me or is Yonghwa annoying in that too? :lol:
I like that guitarist's voice :heart:

So I just happened by this thread because I saw that it was the one most recently posted in from the main page. I believe this was my first time listening to any CNBlue song and I don't really understand it, but I like them. I liked 'I'm A Loner' a lot, 'Love' was kind of eh but somehow had a certain ring to it and 'The Way' was subtle in a way I can't describe. I have to admit that I laughed when they went all metal/almost hardcore in 'Love' and the cheesy "Clap clap clap!" was cute.

Is it just me or is Yonghwa annoying in that too? :lol:

I agree. Those 2 MVs I watched, he was annoying to look at and his rapping didn't help. I haven't even watched WGM, so this feeling must be real :lol: But I also agree with Jonghyun's lovely voice. I just use his actual name rather than 'guitarist' because maybe then it'll stick in my head. He's quite the awesome singer, one of those types who I'd look up to.

CNBlue with FT Island @ MBC Gayo Daejun!




Since it's my first time posting in this thread, I'll also mention that I loooooove CN Blue  :heart:  I absolutely love 'I'm a loner' and 'Love'. Their style is so fun and different among the other current popular performing groups  :wub:

And I gotta say that I also don't see anything remotely annoying about Yonghwa :O  He seems fun and adorable in performances, and this is further shown in WGM, where you get to see his personality, how cute and playful he is with Seohyun. And omg was he patient with her at the beginning... The only thing I could imagine people finding annoying is how sometimes he playfully acts extremely confident (which some could interpret as conceited), but if you watched him on WGM, you'd see he does this playing around, like it's his cute way of nervously flirting. You know what i mean? XD 

I'll stop my rambling with the summary: I love Yoooooong and CNBlue  :luvluv2:

Where are the CNBLUE lovers at? Their repackage mini-album is pretty cool! :thumbup

THE FIRST STEP +1: THANK YOU

01 Love Girl
02 Try Again, Smile Again
03 Don't Say Good Bye
04 그래요

I won't say that it can compare to 'I'm a Loner' but what can?

'Love Girl' is seriously pretty awesome. First time I heard it, I thought it was a little weird, but damn, I love it now! Still getting used to the album version, though. It sounds better in performance to me:


For a guy, that Minhyuk (drummer boy) is cuuuuuute at the beginning. I think Yonghwa's black hair suits him really well.

I do like all of the songs, but 'Try Again, Smile Again' and 'Don't Say Good Bye' really depend on what mood I'm in. A little slow for me sometimes.

I really think that if there's a boy group whose CDs I buy, it will be CNBLUE's :yep:

I really like First Step, one of the best CN Blue albums. Love Girl is awesome and the music video is good too, and yeah Yongwha looks good with the black hair. I think he also lost some weight compared to the I'm loner days.

Here's their Music Bank performance. Apparently this week has them playing a special performance of 'Love Girl'. It looks like an MV to me :lol:



Apparently the 'Love Girl' track on the repackage is an acoustic version. I wasn't so hot on it at first, but it really does has its own separate appeal :D

Here's the MV for the title track of the full album, 'Intuition':


Also, for 'Love Girl':


I have yet to watch the 'Intuition' MV, but 'Love Girl' is cute. I cracked up at them jumping out of the poster because it looked shoddily done XD The girl made me confused, because she looks so almost Caucasian. Mixed blood, perhaps?

Loving these guys right now :heart: (no homo)

That's it, I've got to buy this album :thumbup

My favourite song right now is definitely 'Imagine' :twothumbs

It's so light, soothing and uplifting! A really sweet song to boot.

I wish they could perform the whole song on the weekly shows


The full song :heart:

^ Oh yeah, I watched this about a month ago, I think. The song's alright by CN BLUE standards, but I really love the intro. It kinda reminds me of Maroon 5. Also, Jonghyun's first set of lines in the song always gives me goosebumps. I don't call too many men handsome, but he is one of them :sweatdrop: ;)

Hi everyone! I am new to these forums.
 First step really got me into the band. I haven't heard Ear Fun other than Hey you but I am planning to get on it.
