i love this song and the performances are always great.  i never really cared too much about snsd until now.

[ebc]

SO MANY LIVE PERFS TO CATCH UP ON! T_T
I haven't been downloading any for the last 3 weeks

[tamatron]

They shot an MV for Etude? Don't tell me it'll be the next single. I'm soooo gonna hate this. The girls were sexy one minute then BAM! back to being a tween. GJ.




eta: Just saw iacus' post in the pic thread;

It's from a new cf for the incheon festival.

Sunny went on a radio show yesterday and said they wouldn't be promoting a second song from the genie mini-album.

Phew.

[Levin]

Blah. I don't care for "Etude" at all. I think they should have released "Boyfriend" based on sheer comedic value, but people most likely would have said that they were staying with the "sexy" look...

[Sev]

The girls were sexy one minute then BAM! back to being a tween. GJ.

I just wanted to say that you were sexy one minute then BAM! sexier the next. tama, so sexy, all the time.

[shurastriker]

mmmm after listening Genie like... "too many times" still can't decide if i like this one more that Gee. All i know so far is that i love the short shorts military style =D super sexy!

[zoolander]

I pretty much knew right away I liked it more than Gee, but it seemed like I was in the minority. >_>

Genie by LG staff. There's even a bonus making of at the end.

^ omg lol that videos amazing xD
Genie is awesome, I've been listening to it non stop since it came out 

[mode107]

Sometimes I'm late when it comes to some artists or groups lastest singles. I just heard and watched the Genie MV, and I love it love it!

[thatonezombie]

We all I assume have seen the Genie perf with the camo outfits, well if not here you go

NOW! Why blue heels? I know they wore different colored heels with the other outfits and that was fine to me, but you are rockin the camo stuff now, and the blue heels really stand out bad. (Keep in mind that this is my favorite Genie perf so far so im just nitpicking  )

[AmberSan]

^
I still haven't watched that thanks for sharing..
It's the perf with the gay pride outfits

[tamatron]

Today's Mubank perf;

And they lost to 2NE1 by 7 friggin points lol -_-

090724 SNSD Ending Cut (Music Bank)[Girl's Generation]

[iacus]

Man. . . friggin 2NE1. . .

The vocals were all weird but the audio was great.  You could hear them yelling and stuff during the clap hands part and at the end I'm pretty sure you can hear their feet stomping on the ground.

[zoolander]

7 points

But damn, both over 12,000. I didn't know that was even possible.

They should have left the dumb intro and end off the track. According to prot it really hurts the MP3 streams (which are a bigpart of the digital rankings) since it doesn't count when people skip over them.

At the Manchester United game. Just changed the shoes.

[tamatron]

Ooh I didn't know about that.
The ending is okay for me, the intro though takes a bit too long.

Man... I was watching the match live online tring to catch the perf, but they mostly showed the CFs, so... lol

[Owaranai_sLaVe]

So I think the new thing now is 2NE1 vs SNSD. I'm happy that fans on both sides this time are at least bearable and not being rude. If you don't know what I'm talking about, just watch a bunch of YT videos or go on news sites and read some comments.
Anyway, what's up with M!Countdown? People have been comparing SNSD and 2NE1 saying 2NE1 is better because they won and haven't even performed for M!Countdown yet..... Uh..... Don't people know there's a reason why SNSD hasn't performed there in almost a year?
And I didn't even think that M!Countdown even still counted SM artists lol. Wtf is going on. I feel like a Kpop newb for not knowing.

[tamatron]

The girls were up for the award once, I think. They were against 2PM and were lost by, like, less than a point or something .

I never expected Genie to win all that much anyway because of all the competition. They could've won 2 in a row if it wasn't for the album postponement because of the cover. Oh well, 1 is okay, I guess. I'm starting to think that SM doesn't care about awards for the group anymore as long as they still can make them big bucks, what's with the rumour about the new album coming (that it might cancel out Gee for Golden Disk awards and if it comes out after Oct, it won't be counted for this year's nor next year's awards either).

[zoolander]

Sorry, my internet rule #1 is to never read the comments of YT.

SNSD ain't gonna win M!Countdown. Suju won a couple times but I think they were more amiable with them since they were hosts of the show for so long.

Honestly I think Mnet likes to mess with them. They weren't even nominated for the top 2 with Gee until more than 2 months after the song came out. Then all the sudden they put them against Kara and they lost by one point. Then the last couple weeks they lost to 2pm by less than one point. The charts somehow even had 2pm with double their physical album sales when pretty clearly SNSD had more. (Oh geez, I better not even get into the bull of Taeyeon not winning best OST song at MKMF)

It's awesome that people recognize the power of girl groups. 2ne1 were probably the most anticipated girl group of all time and have definitely lived up to the hype and SNSD has become extremely popular even among the general public. Gallop did a poll a few weeks ago for favorite artists.

Not just a random internet poll. This is from Gallup Korea so it's as official as it can get. This is from the actual Korean public not "netizens".

So Big Bang a bunch of Trot singers and SNSD.
