edr49890 Posted September 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 18, 2013 (edited) I'm starting to notice a trend. Kara for sure will get at least a win on Show Champion, and it's because it's easier for foreigners to vote on show champion than on any other show. Thus, I'm lead to the conclusion that Kara is WAY more popular abroad than they are domestically. Stupid music shows should make it easier for foreigners to register and vote, they're all about spreading the hallyu but they make it impossible for people outside of Korea to participate. Anyways, congrats to our girls. Really stiff competition but they still managed to snag an award. since when they spreading hallyu? Music tourism just riding riding along with KPOP but never ever promoted KPOP or hallyu wave tbh.. they even destroying it LOLZ..by TONS of concerts cancellation .. and Blocking Video also. so they don't spreading but they milking IT hehe anyway ..just a comment don't misinterpret me Edited September 18, 2013 by edr49890 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mitsuki0208 Posted September 19, 2013 Report Share Posted September 19, 2013 And that's what i don't get ^^ So they did perform today but.. left just after it, didn't wait for announcement? And not to make another thread ---> http://youtu.be/NQHGpy0LkvE 0:55 the dancer standing next to Hara. Isn't it KARA's choreographer? It's another time i got deja vu and i want it finally explained lol Show Champion was pre-recorded. They recorded it on another day and just was on air yesterday^^ (lol am I making sense here? But that's it ) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anyways, congrats to our girls. Really stiff competition but they still managed to snag an award. Finally someone noticed it Maybe not that WAY more popular but surely if we'd count all international Kamilia that would be a really great number I love KARA and wanna help them, cheer the way i can. There are only few ways of doing that and the fact that there are hardly english translations on those vote sites and so on. I can only do that for KARA - register on foreign website using tips from a fan just like us.. it's so ridiculous.. I thought that koreans are pretty familiar with english since so many countries took part in helping them. I don't expect many KPOP concerts if at all in europe, but can't they just make it easier fo us to help our biasses? Thank you.. My guess is that it was a pre-recorded performance ^^ The girls are on a break for Chuseok.. I find it truly amazing how they're in the middle of promotions and yet they've been given a break like this where they're with their family and they can enjoy themselves. This proves that DSP is doing everything to please the girls which could help for the upcoming renewal.. XD Show Champion was pre-recorded. They recorded it on another day and just was on air yesterday^^ (lol am I making sense here? But that's it ) Yeah guys you're definitely making sense I was really confused yesterday and just couldn't get to the most simple answers lol Coz how could they participate, don't get a trophy and just after it we see Gyuri fishing TUNAS Once again so happy of their winning (: Have a nice day everyone (; 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edr49890 Posted September 24, 2013 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2013 shared by karaoba http://x-clusive.sg/2013/09/24/album-review-karas-... [ALBUM REVIEW] KARA's 4th Album – Full Bloom Posted by germx ⋅ September 24, 2013 ⋅ Leave a Comment Filed Under buzz KOREA, KARA, Music, Review It had been six years since KARA's debuted with The First Blooming in 2007; new album Full Bloomtakes an indirect reference to their debut album, with seven new tracks(and two instrumentals) surrounding the topic of a girl in love. It hadbeen a year since the girls promoted their hit track Pandora, and eyes were set to see if the new pop-rock influence track Damaged Lady would add to the list of hits KARA had produced over the years. THE LOOK: A Glimpse of the Packaging The concept of Full Bloom is an upgraded version of 2012 hit Pandora, with a more distinct difference in the two types of images. The photo book showcased three different styles; one featuring the girls in smart blazers and vests completed with long pants to go hand in hand with title track Damaged Lady; the second concept 'Princess' (though the word 'queen' seems to fit better) showed the girls wearing dresses with elaborated patterns and laces with ornate accessories like tiarasand dangling earrings, a concept that one might easily associate with the royalty; last but not least, the style that is also featured on the jacket-sized cards had the girls dressed in white gowns, adorned with laces for a clean yet sophisticated image. What was neat about the box album is that the jacket-sized cards (featuring individual members) could be inserted into the flap which acts like a photo-frame. This allows the fans to give their own album a slightly personal touch, and even showcase it on their desks. THE SOUND: Album Review ♫ 숙녀가 못 돼 (Damaged Lady)(Watch the music video) Working with Sweetune once again, Damaged Ladyis certainly one of their best tracks in the whole album. Starting off with a breathy sound that switches up to a high note followed by guitar riffs, it is a pleasant surprise to listen to an upbeat song that takes away that dub-step that has been overused in the industry. This sound iswhat we are used to hearing from the girls, but Damaged Lady seems to lack that addictive hook which would seal the deal, unlike its pre-successors the likes of Mister, Step and Pandora. Not saying that Damaged Lady isn't a good title track. With a good mix of fast and slow beats, the dance track talks about a girl who couldn't handle her breakup maturely. As the lyrics scream 'Fine, I can't be a saint, I can't be a lady' and leads into the chorus, the choreography featured the girls removing a ringfrom their left ring finger, where the wedding ring is traditionally worn. The move is feminine and perhaps showed what a man expects of a woman, but the men-suits worn as part of the album concept tells otherwise. Like the album title suggests, all seven tracks plays on the theme ofa girl in love, or of a girl coming to realize what love is like. 7 love songs could make the album too streamlined and boring, but KARA managed to avoid that by incorporating various music styles and different sides of love. From angsty pop ballad Runaway, to R&B track on bittersweet romance Smoothie, Full Bloom is an album that young girls can easily emphasize and enjoy. As personal favourites, I recommend Runaway, Follow Me and 2Night. First track on the album, Runaway startsoff with soothing, breathy vocals that transcend throughout the song. There isn't exactly a climax in the song – no unnecessary high notes forvariety – but this allows one to sit back with their eyes closed, just enjoying the girls' vocals and the light strumming of the guitar and drums. Follow Me is a funky pop song that easily hasone grooving to the background beat. The electronic sound are not at all overbearing, just enough to create an interesting melody without covering KARA's voices. The song is another soothing one to jam to, without unnecessary rap – instead, the song introduces a slight change of melody for the last bridge, leading into the final chorus featuring the girls' adlibs. Last track of the album 2Night is a reminiscence of the 80s funk mashed with urban electro-pop, and ends thealbum on a light note both in its upbeat melody and lyrics. Granted, onfirst try, this song might not be a track I would associate with KARA, but the girls made it their own with a tinge of sweetness that we don't really find in most girl groups nowadays. Other tracks on the album are not technically a miss, but they are not a hit either. Tracks like 1+1 and Smoothie areboth bittersweet tracks; the former being a little dream-like but singsof a girl's frustrations in a relationship, and would do better with less confusing lyrics the likes of 'You want me best one things alright'. Smoothie is a soothing song, no pun intended. Perhaps atad too soothing that could be easily lost without the directions of stronger vocals. With an interesting jazzy melody, In The Gameis a song that for some reason doesn't quite stick with me. The start sounds promising, but as the song progresses, it falls victim to repeating verses with adlib high notes in the end as the one redeeming factor before it gets too boring. Overall, Full Bloom is an album with seven edgy, funk-inspired tracks upgraded with a modern sound. The girls' trademark, sweet vocals could still be heard from time to time, but not overbearing. Having seven tracks based solely on a young girl in love might be a risky move; while KARA didn't exactly nail it, they earned applause for their efforts. At the end of the day, Full Bloom is an album that one can plug into on a relaxing day to unwind and recall their first-bloom memories.
