I'm loving all the love for Echo! (Obviously now you know that Echo is gonna place for me
)
1. T-ara - I Go Crazy Because of YouAs much as I love Echo and I really do, it was a hard decision but T-ara takes the crown. That chorus rolls off the tongue, the raps were on point, they look hot. Eunjung's short hair is fantastic, Hyomin laying on that couch with stunners looking like Scott Summers. The song fucked me up when I first heard it and recently I introduced a friend to this song and he loves it even when he butchers the Korean language. And I can't blame him because I do the same when I listen to the song. My top Kpop song of 2010. (Now I just lip sync the song to avoid any ass kickings that can come my way
)
2. Girls' Generation - EchoAt the time, I wasn't feeling Run Devil Run but when Echo leaked, instantly gravitated toward it. I like RDR more now but Echo still kicks its ass. It echos (pun intended & someone stop me with these bad puns) the type of music the older SNSD discography contains yet it feels updated. The end of that song always makes me want to repeat the song until I realize I have been hearing it for awhile.
3. Kara - LupinI liked the song when it first came out but once that video dropped, had that shit on repeat for longer than I can remember. Emergency Exit dance I thoroughly enjoyed. Hara had her hair down for the last time they performed this song. That was hot. Also, the Lupin poster hanging on my wall is too dope. (Thanks Popple!
)
4. 2AM - I Did WrongI still stand by the thought that Changmin can
NEVER do any wrong but damn this song tugs on the heart strings. Plus the two-part video that came along with it, powerful shit.
5. Eunjung - Coffee HouseEvery time Eunjung's character in Coffee House succeeded in some way, this song would play and holy hell it is all happy. Whether it be when she was cute in the first half of the drama or when she becomes a bombshell in the second this was her anthem and it fit her and bias be dammed, I got a huge grin on my face this song chimed in.
6. 2NE1 - Please Don't GoThis song does go, (pun intended) goes hard. Love the way it switches up from verse to chorus. While I debate whether or not CL is the baddest female Seoul city ever had, she does shine on this song.
7. Wonder Girls - 2 Different TearsI like the English version over the others and while it maybe inferior to the other ones, once I heard the song I was reminded why the Wonder Girls were the ones that ushered me into the new era of Kpop.
8. SG Wannabe & Ock Ju Hyun - Page OneAnother drama song? And from the same one? I love me the hell out of Coffee House. The instruments alone made me enjoy the song. But add that over Eunjung on screen? Recipe for success!
9. Girls' Generation - HootThey get the 60s spy sound down with a hit of cheesiness which I am down for.
10. Secret - MagicThis song I think made Secret legit.
I didn't need to write about every song but thats how I roll.
