OMG, U-Go-Girl was so fun. Especially when she performs it live and does the "ok" part of it. Hahah. I wish that part was included in the CD.

I think the whole melody of Alphabet Song and Memory are the same. Especially with the kids part of the chorus. The only difference I know is that Hyori is talking about past memories and there's a rap part, instead of loving life/someone right now. But you never know, Hyori might have gotten sample rights for it. Eheh.

Nope, no live performances for Hyori YET. Can't wait for her to do so though. She should be doing one soon. I mean, Rain took only a few days after the release of his MV to do a live performance. It's going to be a Rain vs Hyori month.

Oohhhh yes. It's going to be King of Kpop vs. Queen of Kpop! It'll be pretty intense. They were actually supposed to release their mvs pretty much at the same time, but I heard that Hyori delayed it because of the tragedy with the Korean sailors.

Yeah. I don't think Hyori would have plagiarized. She is too "big" of a name to do that. You know? She probably somehow got the rights but they sound awfully similar. I don't know... oooh well. HAHA

Have you started Cinderella's Sister yet?
Taekyeon should be coming out starting in tomorrow's episode!!!

 

[parkmin90]

Just watched episode 5 of Cinderella's Sister. Seriously, one hour is too short! I want to watch MORE... HAHA.

 

[Leeroi]

Mannn, I still haven't started yet. My internet connection in campus is too slow. Ugh.

OMG! Youtube Cookie Couture - Bring It Back and youtube Hyori - Bring It Back. It's practically the same song except Hyori's is in Korean.

Yeah, she might be just covering it legally, but there's too many "borrowed" things in her album for my liking.

 

[parkmin90]

Leeroi- Ohh! I really do recommend it so hopefully you'll be able to watch it soon when you have better internet connection! My best friends and I are addicted to it.
I've actually been watching Personal Taste on the side and it's actually not too bad! It's pretty funny and silly. So different than Cinderella's Sister.
I like the Personal Taste OST a lot! Very cute songs.

I can't believe there are so many "borrowed" songs on her album. It doesn't really make sense... I don't know what to make of it. I think it's okay when they're influenced, but if it sounds almost the same, then something just doesn't seem to fit in the picture. I'm going to go and listen to Bring It Back now.

 

[parkmin90]

yup... Cookie Couture's Bring It Back and Hyori's Bring it Back sounds really similar. I hear there are 3 songs on her album like this? I wonder what the other one is.

 

[parkmin90]

wooohoo! KARA is going to be releasing a new song soon! I love KARA.

 

[parkmin90]

You guys... I changed my mind about Personal Taste. It's sooo good!! I can't stop laughing from the beginning to end of each episode!!! Just felt like shouting it out there.

 

[Leeroi]

AHHHH! Sorry guys for not coming in here for some time. Been really busy.

But anyways, next week my sem will be over so going back to my parent's and start Personal Taste. Decided I kinda needed some fun drama. HaHa.

But omg. More plagiarism case against Hyori! LIKE A LOT! I'll just list all of them....

Lee Hyori - Bring It Back/Cookie Couture - Bring It Back
Lee Hyori - Memory/Second Person - Alphabet Song
Lee Hyori - I'm Back/Lil Precious - So Insane
Lee Hyori - How Did We Get It/Jason Derulo - How Did We
Lee Hyori - Swing/Mikis Theodorakis - The Train Leaves At Eight

A member of Cookie Couture already said Lee Hyori didn't buy rights for Bring It Back, so there's a high chance the other songs were also unfairly covered/used.

Lee Hyori's Bring It Back is practically the same song as Cookie Couture's, just in Korean.

 

[Marvystone]

^ wow i didn't realise there were that many!..
and all those reports about why they weren't releasing her album sooner said that they were specially choosing/writing songs that would fit her style..

 

[parkmin90]

Leeroi- OMG! All those songs?? Didn't realize it until now!!!! o_O This is going to be bad for Hyori. I wonder what will happen now.
You're going to love Personal Taste!!! It's soooo good.
I've been loyally watching it along with Cinderella's Sister, which by far is my favorite right now as well.

 

[parkmin90]

Hello everyone!
I'm sorry I've been MIA again. Been awfully busy, but I've been keeping myself updated with Personal Taste and Cinderella's Sister. Anyone else watching some good dramas nowadays?

 

[Marvystone]

I'm still making my way through 아가씨를 부탁해/Take care of the young lady with Yoon Eun Hye...I heard it got bad ratings when it aired...but it's funny and I like princess complex (공주병) characters

 

[Leeroi]

^Bad ratings? Not really bad. They were actually number one or were in the top 5 a few times. http://wiki.d-addicts.com/Take_Care_of_the_Young_Lady/Episode_Ratings

As an update, still stuck in school. Parent's can't pick me up until tomorrow! So no dramas for me until then. Boooo!

 

[parkmin90]

Marvystone- I got pretty far into Please Take Care of My Lady, but I never finished it. LOL. It was pretty cute. Yoon Eun Hae had pretty interesting fashion in that drama.

Leeroi- OMG you're going to love Personal Taste! I know you will. haha. It's definitely one of my favorite dramas of all time. That and Cinderella's Sister is pretty good. Cinderella's Sister is the complete opposite mood of Personal Taste though. I always watch Cinderella's Sister first and then watch Personal Taste. I end up feeling really happy after Personal Taste. haha. and Lee Minho looks pretty gooooood!

 

[parkmin90]

Hi everyone! Hope everyone's doing well. I haven't been here for more than 2 weeks. LOL.

 

[parkmin90]

I used to be a die hard Big Bang fan, but it sort of died away. Now I'm loving their new song. even if it's in Japanese.

What do you all think?

 

[Marvystone]

no one on here Super Junior fans?
I can't stop listening to 나쁜 여자

 

[parkmin90]

Marvystone- Me me! I'm a Super Junior fan!
I'm loving their comebacks! Bad Girl and Bonamana.

 

[keroppi]

no one on here Super Junior fans?

My friend made me listen to Sorry, Sorry recently (I'm a year behind, I know haha) and I gradually became a fan after listening to some of their songs properly and watched their antics on variety shows. Never really liked K-pop before, but Super Junior is too awesome for me to resist. And I'm in love with Kyuhyun

I can't stop listening to Bonamana since its release...!
