I love this girl! And I love this song!
It’s Ailee‘s cover of the JYP‘s song Don’t Leave Me 날 떠나지마 (performed on Immortal Song 2).
I liked Ailee even before she debuted in Korea. I remember enjoying her covers. She has a very good voice and she could belt too! I’ve been watching a lot of her performances lately on Inmmortal Song 2 and I’m loving this girl more and more!
For two weeks now, they did covers of JYP songs — songs he sang and those he composed. Last week, I enjoyed Lyn’s performance of Bad Girl, Good Girl in acoustic version. Lyn is very popular for doing this, remember her version of Oh, Heartbreaker, Bo Beep Bo Beep… But just that she has done it so many times in other shows, that it was kind of not the song she should have sung. But enough about Lyn.
So Ailee did the cover of JYP’s Don’t Leave Me 날 떠나지마. I was actually looking forward to this performance because it was Ailee and this is my favorite JYP song (yes it’s very very old!). And Ailee nailed it!! It had Park Jin Young vibe! I think even the JYP himself was quite happy with how she sang the song. I just loved it! Ailee is so good!!! And props to bringing Shorry to the performance.
Enjoyed every minute of this performance.

Kpop Star’s Su Pearls

Annyeong!
It feels so good to be posting on this blog. I really should be doing something now but I thought what the hell.. I’m gonna write a post on my blog! I can’t believe that this blog has come a long way from the first time i created it. But again thank you for visiting my blog 
Anyway so I’ve been busy with work and everything so I haven’t caught up with the latest Kpop trends. I still have to watch the year end Gayos.. I downloaded them but I need to find time to watch them. I’m missing a lot of songs lately, and my playlist hasn’t been updated for ages. So when my friend sent a video of a Kpop reality called Kpop Star, I didn’t know about it. And after I watched the performance she sent me I was literally having goosebumps! I never saw something like this in Kpop reality search!
I am talking about the breathtaking, brilliant, astonishing, superb (I’m running out of adjectives!) performance of Su Pearls!
One word: BRAVO!
I am not kidding when I say that I have goosebumps! This is one of the best I’ve seen on Korean reality! Can you imagine being there when they performed live! Ok too many exclamation points. — that shows you how excited and giddy I am to talk about this audition video. It’s unlike any other..
A quick background about the show: its called Kpop Star and its a show on SBS. Like most Kpop star search shows, they are looking for the next big star. However, this time, the judges on the show are from the 3 big companies that gave us the idol groups whom we now adore. They are BOA (SM Entertainment), Yang Hyun Seok (YG Entertainment), Jin Young Park (JYP Entertainment). I would probably guess that they are looking for the next big name in the Kpop industry.
So anyway, they do the same thing having auditions and stuff, but I have to say most of the contestants on this show are really good… So on with Su Pearls..
The reason why I liked this group so much was because of the harmony they did to the song. I mean, yes its a pop song.. but they gave a soulful twist to the song which made me great! And it sounded totally different from the original. I liked “The Boys” when Girls Generation did it, and I loved it more when they made their rendition to this song. Girls Generation did the Pop version while Su Pearls did the Rnb version! Different genres of music, same song! Wonderful, just utterly wonderful!
Also, you might have recognized the third girl on the video as the girl that sang Rolling In the Deep on the same show.
The video went viral that it was even shown on the news! Park Jimin — OMG! she’s only 15 and she can belt like that! A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! This is probably one of the best Rolling in the Deep cover that I’ve heard! And her pronunciation’s great too. If I was closing my eyes, I wouldn’t have guessed it was a Korean singing it!
I’m watching out for these girls again! I like Lee Michelle too.. I’d love to see her sing.. I’m thinking she’s like the next Insooni.. kk I can’t wait to see more of her..
Looking forward to more of this show! (Su Pearls Fighting!!!!)

Song Joong Ki was In Cebu!

Can I break down and cry now?? He was here and then I missed him! Kk oh well at least we were in the same country and province for a time..
He was actually in Cebu (Philippines) for a photo shoot for a spread on Vogue Girl. He stayed in Imperial Palace Water Park Resort. That resort is, if I am not mistaken is owned by a Korean. A lot of my students flock to that resort for a weekend get away so I sure he was ok there. (It’s good and affordable by the way). And I’m sure he was relaxed that time because it was reported that “he was seen taking an afternoon nap, chilling in the pool, and reading a book under a cooling shade”. I so envy the people working in Imperial right now!
Here are 2 photos, but the spread will be available i think next month.

Lee Sora’s Number One (Boa) version

in asian, i am a singer, korean, other shows Tags: asian, boa, 나는 가수다, i am a singer, kpop, lee sora
One of my students is addicted to the Korean variety show I Am A Singer (나는 가수다). So when I saw him yesterday, all we talked about was what happened during the May 8. He knows I can relate to Korean music so he always feels comfortable when talking about it.
Among all the performances he described, I was most intrigued about the performance of Lee Sora. She did her own version of Boa‘s Number One.
Every time I hear Lee Sora sing, I always get goosebumps! I automatically associate it with an opera signer singing an Aria! Think Christine from Phantom of the Opera singing Think of Me.
Boa’s Number One an old Kpop song that I like since my early Kpop days. That was about the time Eat You Up was popular. I did a quick search on Boa and voila I found this song.
Now back to I am a singer… Lee Sora did a rock version of the song. Though the song brings out the best in her voice (man she could sing a rock ballad!), I still like her doing the ballad songs. I think I’m not used to her having to sing in this genre. But one thing she proves though, is that she can do a variety of genres.
Oh and in case you were wondering, this is the original Boa version:
Which version do you like?

Falling Slowly Versions

I have written sometime last year on this blog that I liked a song called Falling Slowly from the movie Once. Inspired by this and because I just saw a clip of Yong Hwa (CN Blue) and Seo Hyun (SNSD) perform it on We Got Married, I decided to feature the different covers of this song done by Kpop idols…
Yes, this song has been sung a lot of times and I think it’s very popular in Korea.. But though a lot of K-artists have been doing their version of the song, I’m still not tired of hearing it! I get all giddy when I hear the first few chords of the song.
So who do you think did the best cover??
Yong Hwa and Seo Hyun (Sweet Potato Couple)
Jo Kwon and Ga In (they sing during the 1:21 mark)
Jinwoon and Jo Kwon
Kim Hyun Joong (singing to Hwang Bo.. aw I miss this We Got Married Couple – Lettuce Couple!)
Sungmin and Sunny
And just a plus.. he is not a Korean idol but this kid is korean and he can play the guitar!!! He is Sungha Jung.. check out his youtube page for more of his videos…
So which one do you like?
