That made me laugh out loud at 3:20am while my flatmate was sleeping, hopefully I didn't wake him up. hah
While it's not as bad as Japanese Gee, it's still weird (especially the part at 3:10~end and whenever they sing that way in the song) and I'll just continue listening to the Hangul pro version.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
^ I agree, it definitely is less weird than Japanese Gee. But it's still...odd. It's like when a BoA song comes on your ipod, and you go to sing to the Korean lyrics but it's the Japanese version, or vice-versa. O_o

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
I think it's mostly Taeyeon that sounds really bad, and that's a real problem cause she gets so many lines and completely dominates the chorus lines as well. I absolutely can't stand SNSD in Japanese. Seems like usually Korean groups get the hang of Japanese pretty quickly, like Kara and DBSK, but with SNSD it just isn't working out so far. Taeyeon desperately needs some lessons.

COMPLETELY agree. I've been pretty amazed at how KARA is getting grasp of Japanese pretty quickly.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
Live performance of Run Devil Run on Music Station
You can see how Taeyeon-dominated this song is, even more than usual for SNSD I believe, and her lines all sound like broken Korean. Singing-wise all the girls sounded really good (I even questioned if it was sung live until Taeyeon's mic dropped signal for a second), so that was cool, and they look cute and all, but the song sounds real bad to me. RDR grew old on me very quickly anyway though.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
The demo version of Genie has recently been leaked. It's a comparatively "thinner" arrangement with less bass and no obnoxious laugh tracks. The most pleasant surprise is Jessica's ad libs, which were axed from the release version; Jessica fans should check them out. (Is there a better word than "ad lib" for those? They're not actually improvised at all. Japanese terminology has a similar problem -- they're called "fake(s)" but the implied spontaneity is entirely absent.)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=83Wjj-YbmDQ
EDIT: In case anybody cares, I took the released version of Genie, edited out all the obnoxious laughter and chatter, and spliced in the demo version's bridge with Jessica's adlibs. Unfortunately I couldn't find a source for the intro that doesn't have the creepy "turn it up" guy, so he's still in there. Aside from that, I consider this my perfect version of Genie.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
I really haven't been able to stand their Japanese activities so far, but that cover may force me to purchase the single.
Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
I will be buying. Those jacketsleeves are gorgeous.
My only expectation for the song is that it'll be better than Japanese Gee.

I can't believe they're re-releasing RDR with the new single. SM clearly is giving Universal tips on how to steal people's money.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
After seeing their 'Santa Baby' performance, they should consider releasing an English single. Tiffany and Jessica are American so they are obviously good at English but the rest of them seem fairly proficient in it too. That'd be awesome.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
Where would they release it? I don't think anyone else is actually proficient in it. It's just practice and memorization.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
^ They are better then anything I heard from early BoA and a lot of Japanese artists who slip English phrases into their songs. I'm just sayin', could be a cool thing. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... #>/wub.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':wub:' />

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
Yeah, but like you said, they've got Tiffany and Jessica doing most of it for them. And after hearing Sooyoung's rendition of Santa Baby, which was god awful since she could really only pronounce three lines and the rest of it was gibberish, I'm doubtful that they're all singing the English lines.
Of course, the biggest problem would be they have no place to release it.

Speaking of covers of English Christmas songs, I'm personally fond of this one by Taeyeon.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
So I found this on AllKpop.
There seems to be a thing going on between Lady Gaga's new song and SNSD's song Be Happy from their Oh album. (Listen~)
Though of course if you look up Lady Gaga's new song you'll find a whole bunch of comparison videos. But this one seemed more interesting. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... stling.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':whistling:' />

E-TRIBE, the composer behind “Be Happy,” responded to the claims through Newsen on March 11th and stated, “Someone this morning told me that there were reports of Lady Gaga plagiarizing SNSD’s ‘Be Happy.’ I listened, and I do feel that there are similarities. The way the song flows and the arrangements are, honestly, the same. I am currently working to get in contact with Lady Gaga’s publishing label to find further information.”

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
They changed their mind:
After acknowledging the similarities between Lady Gaga’s “Born This Way” and SNSD’s “Be Happy,” producing team E-TRIBE (the composers behind “Be Happy”) have revealed that they will not be taking legal action.
Previously, E-TRIBE announced ,”I do feel that there are similarities. The way the song flows and the arrangements are, honestly, the same. I am currently working to get in contact with Lady Gaga’s publishing label to find further information.”
On March 21st, An Myung Won of E-TRIBE stated, “Those around us say that Lady Gaga’s ‘Born This Way’ plagiarized SNSD’s Be Happy,’ so I did check it out. For now, we don’t have plans of taking any action.”
He continued, “It is true that the song’s flow and arrangement are similar, but after discussing it further with various other professionals, opinions remained divided. There are too many convoluted parts to nail it as plagiarism, so we’ll be discussing further options calmly.”
http://www.allkpop.com/2011/03/e-tribe- ... n-this-way
Probably because most people didn't think it was enough for an actual accusation, or they were worried about embarrassing themselves. Not surprising, since kpop plagiarism issues tend to go nowhere. SM were supposedly going to take action against the woman who plagiarized Genie, but nothing ever came of that either.

Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
Pop songs are generic.
Re: The New All Purpose SNSD Thread
Couldn't have said it better myself, Eri.
And I mean...what's wrong with getting inspiration from a song? It's complete plagarism if the tune is exact. I haven't listened to either though so I'm unsure. But it would be hilarious if Gaga stole from SNSD. <img src='http://mm-bbs.org/public/style_emoticon ... R#>/8o.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt='8o' />

Um, wow. The songs have literally no similarities beyond possessing a similar synth and beat. That chick with the BEAST song Oh Yeah? THAT'S plagerism. Two generic synthpop songs having a similar style is not. o_O

Oh Taeyeon got a haircut...It makes me think think of some other group I can't quite put my finger on.
Yoona looks so cute~
I'm late but, I'm glad they're finally releasing an original Japanese single instead of just making Japanese versions of their Korean songs.
Although the Japanese versions let me actually understand the lyrics, haha.
