TTS Comeback & IU's Single! Also T-ara's Plight!

Exams are over!! Whoopie! And my first year in NUS has ended! It felt really fast~ And it has been a fruitful year :) Hope next year will be just as exciting and fun ^.^

Anyway, more happy news! ^.^ Its a great period for me keke~~

TaeTiSeo's Twinkle mini-album's released! It's really catchy! Haha it got stuck in my head after the first time, and I was unconsciously nodding my head to it.


Soooo sassy :P Taeyeon & Fany looks gorgeous in the vid~~ ^.^
I still think Seohyun looks rather awkward though. Like she doesn't really have the confidence to pull it off.
hmm.

One thing though... it was really obvious they were acting? Since it didn't really look like they were trying even when they were shooting those high notes... so much so that it wasn't believable :P

Happy for them that they totally topped the charts with their album upon release though ^.^

So then they performed on M!Countdown! And I was slightly disappointed, but above all quite... worried.

Twinkle on M!Countdown

Baby Steps on M! Countdown

Though it wasn't a bad performance as a whole, and Twinkle was alright, they didn't really pull Baby Steps off that well, though it's a nice song, but I kinda got bored. The dancers were really distracting... and they didn't really look all that confident.

Haha I would like to, at this point, point out the super manly fanchants xD

Also, totally could tell Taeyeon wasn't quite able to hit some of the notes and was pushing it, especially in Twinkle. She probably already strained her voice somewhat after this performance. It's quite worrying since they have a string of promotional performances coming up on the various music programmes like Inkigayo and Music Core... Not to mention Taeyeon would still be promoting her "Missing You Like Crazy"...

Check 2:43 for Baby Steps, 2:40 for Twinkle for an example...

Really just hope they'll take care of their voices yea...

Next, IU also just released her single "Peach" ahead of her mini-album! Another really well done song :) The lyrics are so cute keke... and I guess the guy fans can totally relate to the lyrics :P The tune's really nice and peaceful, and I'm really liking it :)

Peach - IU
The recorder tune's so nostalgic :) 

Haha so Peach also topped the charts. Like, totally topped it. #1 in all boards. And since we know no 2 songs can be "top" at the same time, it seems like at the moment IU has trumped SNSD lol. Kinda have mixed feelings about that haha >.< Hwaiting both of you XD

Looking forward to her full album release, as well as vids for her concert and birthday celebration :)

I also have something about T-ara! Haha as you all know after Heroes I'm also following Jiyeon. So I just found out there's an individual ver thing for their Roly Poly jap ver.

Roly Poly in Japanese - Jiyeon Ver.
Dies from cuteness overload XD

AHHHHHHHHHHHHH! haha. Slightly upset that I can't find the dl for it hrmph. :P haha.

Hmm while I'm on the topic of T-ara, I'd like to say I'm really upset with their CEO. Read this.

If one follows T-ara, one would actually realise how busy they are every single day. There was this variety show that's like an expose of the daily schedules of the T-ara members, and they are just so very very busy. Its practically one schedule after another, and they only get something like 2-3 hrs of slp per day? When asked what they would do if they had a holiday, they actually said to just sleep and sleep some more :\ For girls at that age... kinda sad isn't it?

And yet the CEO keeps trying put pressure on them. I wouldn't mind if it's more schedules, since it is in their interest. But no. He announced an upcoming change to the group members of T-ara, claiming it would raise competition among the members and keep them on their toes, even threatening to say that if they become complacent any of the members could be removed. More recently, under the guise of "giving them a holiday", he sent T-ara "to help an upcoming girl group with their debut photoshoot". So after helping them... this upcoming girl group, apparently had the nerve to declare that they hope to beat T-ara. What kind of backing does one need to say that I wonder?

Yea frankly, they should just up the whole thing as a group and go elsewhere. This, _|_, is for the CEO. I just hope things will go more smoothly for them...

Oh last thing I wanna write about! I was watching Strong Heart, Ep23, and K.Will was featured as a guest. I've been wondering about him, and omg he sings so very very well. Totally recommend listening to his songs. I'm gonna go looking for his albums soon too :D

Haha well that's it for now :D Gotta start packing and move out of PGP! keke cya all soon!
