You know you

I want a T-shirt with KARA actually on the shirt. Now ill be more detailed about what I mean. Just a day ago, I was in the city and I walked past a hip hop dancing dude with a crazy-cool shirt. It was white and it believe it or not, it had some of the SNSD girls on it. I think I saw Yuri, Yoona and Seohyun. Two girls were standing on the back with graffiti writing in the middle. and the front had one girl on the corner of the shirt. But the cool thing was.. the girls were like sketched drawings or cell shades or something and it was all drawn in black. So basically black and white. I was thinking... if they only came with KARA on it as well. Random. but it looked epic.

I'll be a little bit more detailed with the whole VOCALS issue. I've had some vocal training before.. so I'll use some fancy words here and there: Gyuri - She has great strength in her voice as well as range. But she lacks a bit of technique in her voice. This doesn't mean simply vibrato or anything. But more importantly, its to do with her breathing control and grasp of stacatto and legato notes. In other words, how the notes sound could differ simply from the use of your chest/diapragm. Once she can master that, she will be awesome singer. Seungyeon - Kinda the opposite. She has great range and great technique but lacks strength. Thus, its sometimes hard for her to sustain the longer notes. Nicole - Probably best all round. I think many would agree. Ive noticed that she tends to strain sometimes with the higher notes. This will require some further training so she can match the intensity without hurting her vocal chords. Hara - Honestly, I really like this girl's voice in a normal, vocal sense. She has a great tone and timbre. But sadly... she needs to imrpove the most with both strength and technique. She has definately improved since her debut. so time will give this one its merits. Jiyoung - Well to be brief, her voice has improved everytime they promote a new song. Her sweet and feminine voice is the epitome of those in a girl idol group. Although it may be soft, with a song like Lupin, she really does show her potential. And plus.. she's still very young. She has years to improve dramatically. well there ya go. hope that was detailed enough lol.

Nicole was the reason why I got into KARA waaaayyy back during their debut. I guess what most attracted my attention was that she was a 'Kyopo' - or overseas born Korean. She was the first girl idol not native to Korea.. which I had known..... even before Jessica and Tiffany from SNSD. Even now its still Nicole. I guess thats why alot of people on this forum are Nicole fans. They can relate to her since she was from the west and all.

Twas a normal saturday, Bored, sitting on the pc. some time early in 2009. was watching some good ol' Nicole from Star Golden Bell. Googled Nicole, KARA, vids etc. Came to Karaholic. Ta da ~

At first, I thought I was much older than most of the fans on this forum. It appears that I may be mistaken. A fair number of the people in this thread have stated ages.. probably in the 'Young Adult' category (18 - 25). Awesome. I'm 19.

Well to be frank, I wouldn't really be on this forum posting and all.. if I was a "kara fan.. but I prefer other groups". die hard fan? hmm... yeah i'd say bordering that. I loved/liked other groups in the past. And many.. either I lose interest or just stop caring really. But its strange... KARA has this unique way of continuously reaffirming my fan-dom towards them.. probably ever since debut.

As of including the LUPIN mini album and promotions: Sexiest - Nicole Cutest - Seungyeon Prettiest - Gyuri Nicole has been what I consider the 'sexiest' since forever. Lupin dance. yes please. Seungyeon. Same story there. Eye smile Prettiest. Well I would have voted Hara but increasingly i'm convinved that Gyuri has one of the most prettiest and natural faces in Kpop. Let's not forget also how pretty shew looks even without makeup.. first thing in the morning.

The BUTT DANCE. No doubt. Funny thing about it was, in Korea, if you knew KARA, you knew the butt dance but if you knew the butt dance.. it didnt necessarily mean you knew KARA. it just kinda caught on as a trend with everyone.

It says I need at least 10 posts to apply in helping with Sweet Melodix... so... yeah... Thought I might start by saying, great forum you got running. Ive come here for all my KARA needs. Time to give some back to the KH community I suppose.
