KPOP STAR WATCH: Ha Minseong, Oh Dawon, Seong Sujin

My favourites from last week's episode, which was also the last first round auditions episode.

Ha Minseong (31)
Half Viet half Korean from Germany, many know him as urbangermany on YouTube. He's a professional songwriter and has already done a huge playlist of amazing song covers. Allkpop did a piece on him earlier this year which I totally recommend you to read, because he talks about affiliations with kpop artists in the past. Translating from the interview before his performance: The positive feedback of his Bad Boy (Big Bang) cover on YouTube made him realize that he too could become a singer. He noticed that the judges on Kpop Star unlike judges at other singing competition shows gave a lot of feedback to the contestants about things they actually need to develop as a singer, which led to him to want to audition for the show.
From the judges expressions during the performance you can probably guess that he made it through to the next round. Boa also clarified that when she said he liked guys who sang while playing the guitar last season, it wasn't all guys with guitars that she was talking about. She liked the guys like this guy.
And I like this guy :)

Jellyfish Entertainment and their wonderful Christmas songs

Last year, Jellyfish Entertainment released one of my favourite songs themed for the Christmas season.
I'm not too big on Christmas themed things but this is such a great song and their voices are just great.

Christmas for Everyone


This year, it looks like the boys at Jellyfish Entertainment are putting together a Jelly Christmas 2012x2013 Heart Project. I'm not exactly sure what that entails but the video they released for the Project single is basically behind the scenes of their photoshoots. This is after Brian left the company, so you won't be able to find him here, but this project brings togetheSung Si Kyung, Park Hyo Shin, Lee Seok Hoon, Seo In Guk, VIXX 
So many well-dressed boys with golden voices... Enjoy!

Because it's Christmas

[Lyrics Translation] Shut Up - Ailee ft. Simon D

Combined with the bumpin bass and her super refreshing voice, this track makes me feel as though everything bunched up within me explodes out and fades away. It's invigorating.


Yeah, Ailee. I'm Simon D.
We collab baby
Mr. Real flow on this track
This song is dedicated to.. whatever I don't know

Coming totally out of the blue, why are you dissing my man?
What do you mean I'm being wasted? I feel sorry for you
When was it that you dumped me  that you're telling me to come back
Have you gone crazy since I last saw you? Don't block my way and go

Shut up shut up shut up yeah you
Shut up shut up shut up just go

I'm warning you, before I start to yell
Get out of my way and stay far far away
If not, stay with me all night so I can brag about my man
I can do that for you, so you can't say anything

Shut up shut up shut up yeah you
Shut up shut up shut up yeah you
Shut up shut up shut up yeah you
Shut up shut up shut up

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah from today on you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah inside my heart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you're completely done

Where do you keep looking? Can you get your boyfriend to just stop
contacting you? Tell him that you don't feel well, whatever
Honestly you enjoy it, don't pretend to ignore me
You haven't forgotten me, oh you're pushing my lips away?
Are you thinking of spending the night with me? Look at that big bag
So you're thinking of marriage? Me, me take me
Shut up? what do you mean shut up? That's so harsh
Even while cheating on your man with me

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah from today on you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah inside my heart
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah you're completely done

Can you listen to me for a bit? Shut up
I think there's some kind of misunderstanding. Shut up please
I didn't come for this. Shut up
Shut up Shut up Shut up

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I appreciated it
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah for making me laugh
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah I feel free inside

Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah shut up, shut up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah shut up, shut up
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah shut up, shut up

Oh, please just go
