Girls' Generation enter the charts in Spain (reported by channel "La Sexta")


Yesterday's performance of "The Boy" on Live with Kelly! and The Late Show with David Letterman  didn't remain unnoticed. In fact, a Spanish channel called La Sexta made a short report about the girls actually entering as the first Asian group in the Spanish charts. I'm half Spanish, I totally get it that they are breaking English speaking markets, but Spanish people listening to Korean music sounds somewhat surreal. Which, actually is a stupid thing, cause my buddy @sukowegalrevo lives in Spain, is Spanish and would sell his first born child to get to meet Koda Kumi and fellow Asian stars.

This girls are taking over the world by storm with the least amount of effort. I mean they are not even really promoting in the US. They're just doing it for fun, because they just felt like performing there and to make their fans a happy. 

Deep down I always wished that K-Pop and J-Pop would cross over eventually, but now that's starting to happen I'm quite overwhelmed with it. I mean if they take over Europe and they would, if the plans for a Europe debut are true, this means that people know them and my friends would eventually stop shaking there heads at me, because I listen to this sound. I would no longer be the unicorn in my area. That's fucked up.

Dead and buried.

Girls Generation continue the slayage with "The Boys" on Live with Kelly!


After basically shutting that shit down on the Late Show with David Letterman, the girls returned this morning with another performance of "The Boys"on the Live with Kelly! show. The whole performance was kept shorter, there was no remix, but non-the-less, these hoes went all in and came out with wigs. The audience; bald!

I was impressed at how secure they seemed. No more nerves in sight, definitely an improvement over the Letterman performance. The choreography was on point, the singing was also good, besides Sunny fucking up her part, but I'm gonna let it slide.

After performing the shit out of "The Boys", and leaving Kelly Ripa with the wish to join SNSD, they went on to speak about how they became Girls Generation and went on about the auditioning process. Soon after that, they started showing Kelly and Howie Mandel some moves. Very entertaining, indeed.

I'm really proud of this girls, to be the first act to perform on late night television. A huge step for K-Pop and in general the Asian music scene. Congratulations!!

P.S.: They so need to get a performance on Ellen.

Watch Girls Generation slay America with "The Boys" on Letterman!


First, Wondergirls, then BoA and later on Utada Hikaru. Now it's Girls Generation's turn to debut on US television. The nine girls, made The Late Show with David Letterman  their first stop on their short US-promotion for The Boys.

I really have to say, they did an amazing job with this performance. There were of course some nerves in the beginning, but after the first verses they were able to shake them off. I was kind of disappointed with the camera work, those guys had no idea how to frame this girls. I guess they were completely overwhelmed by the amount of girls that where dancing, grinding and two-stepping. But they sure as hell, must have liked Sooyoung, she was all the time in the picture.

To the vocals, well it was 60% miming and the rest well Taeyeon. What also did piss me off: couldn't they have cleared the stage completely? Poor Sunny, almost crashed against the keyboard. But over all, they really  managed to deliver a good performance, leaving David Letterman in awe and the audience with a WTF face: "Whut? There's a choreography and they're not dressed like prostitutes or trannies?" YES, that's right.
Sorry, I had to throw some shade at Rihanna, Britney and Lady Gaga.

And might I add: #DEAD at the fanboys singing "GG". That just made my day. 

Girls Generation represent. Good job ladies, now all you need to do is slay Live with Kelly and book a performance on the Ellen Degeneres Show. To bad they're album The Boys sucks so much, they would have slayed with an English version of their Japanese debut album.



ANYWAY THEY SLAYED!

Interview: SNSD / Girls Generation are interviewed by "Access Hollywood"


A recent video of Girls Generation's interview with Access Hollywood has been revealead.

Well, to be precise with Tiffany, Jessica and Sooyoung. Although I'm not really counting Sooyoung, because all she was doing during this interview was mumble, look weird and helpless. Bitch didn't know what to do with her life. In comparison, Tiffany and Jessica did a great job, they have very good English, it's clear they have been raised in the USA so it's their time to shine and all the other hoe's need to sit the fuck down. Especially Yoona, that tramp. Can't stand her face.

They basically, talked about the experience of coming to the US, recording they're first song in English and all the editing they had to do until it sounded halfway decent.

I wonder what the other 6 girls were doing? They were probably chained at a desk and had to learn the whole day English.

Take a look after the jump!

Bonus material: SNSD / Girls Generation - Boomerang


It doesn't happen quite often, but a discarded song has been leaked/released. The song is called "Boomerang" and should have actually been Girls Generation's first single back in 2009.

SM Entertainment might not have liked the song 100%, otherwise I don't see any reason for them to scratch  it and go with "Gee". This song would have demanded a more edgier look and maybe that was the problem. Let's face it, this girls try but the last thing they are is edgy. Brown Eyed Girl's are edgy, 2ne1 are edgy hell even 4minute is edgier.

Overall, this has been the right decision to go for "Gee", it's clearly catchier and the cute image was finally what made them successful.  "Boomerang" is an okay song, nothing special and in my opinion forgettable.

Take a listen:
