[I write a lot]
shi - You're so right. I guess that's why I got into Kpop after my H!P obsession. I needed more talent than fun idol. But if I ever want to be entertained, I rely on the 'ol H!P. Korean stars are cute too, but I don't think anyone can pull off skits like the ones on Hello! Morning.
That's very true. EAch girl does at least a good amount of time on the MVs and each song. But of course, the four leads get just a bit more.
About SuHyun, if she would just be a 'nobody' if she wasn't a lead... well what about the others? I mean, I know SooYoung has her radio station, but even then, I feel like the rest of them don't get much attention. TaeYun, HyoYun, YoonAh, Tiffany, Jessica, and at times YuRi get the most attention.
I wonder, how long did it take for you guys to learn their names? Haha, I remember learning all the past MM members names with the current ones took me like 2 weeks (that's because they were my first asian girl group). I knew about SNSD (since I'm a Kpop news writer) but when I finally accepted them as singers, it took me 4 days to learn their names, but weeks to decipher who the look alikes were (YuRi and YoonA).
P.S. How do you know SooYoung is cracking jokes? Do they sub the radio shows now?
DO Me - WHOA. I just got into XMAN a few weeks back and try to watch as many as the old ones that I can. But it's canceled?! I thought they were still going!
About comparisons... Honestly, I think SNSD has more talanted people arts wise. Probably cuz they train longer. I know MM has their share of talent, but I've noticed through my Kpop experiance that vocally and dance wise, Koreans excell more. But lyrically, Koreans have sadder music and Japanese have more poetic music. That's how I view it.
Both groups have their share of funny people, though their humor is very different.
Because I'm so used to pairings, I still can't believe SNSD doesn't have a solid pairing!!!!! ;[ So I think I will make up my own and believe in SooYoung + TaeYun = SooYun
Morning Musume is conservative personality wise, SNSD is more wild and crazy. But Morning Musume is more showy, clothes wise, and SNSD is more conservative. Take for example how Koreans don't even have photobooks, but Japanese do and it's filled with bikinis. This may be because of culture and fashion differences though. But i agree with
Shi, it does seem like acting after a while. Probably why I think SNSD is more wild and crazy compared to MM. Also agree on the fact that MM isn't even soley based on talent, but more on entertaining. I'm fine with that, and usually I'm not (like with Rain, Super Junior,Koda Kumi) only beacuse they have had a few talents before. I guess that's why it irks me too see Tsunku choose the ones that need more work because he wants to have fun or have a challenge. Honestly, if this weren't in Japan, I don't think it would have worked out as well.
tama - They
should bring Sunny along. She has a good voice. SuHyun isn't even that young, I mean the rest are from 17-18. And there have been news reports that some of them are actually OLDER than that. So age shouldn't really matter why she would be part of the LEAD vocals...
It's cool how the girls look up to BoA
Hey
Citra unni ;] ugh T_T can you believe I haven't downloaded ANYTHING yet from SNSD? I feel really bad.
