OK., first off we have the Wonder Girls with their very much anticipated comeback stage performance for their new single "So Hot" on Music Core yesterday (May 31). I have been waiting for this day to come!! haha :)) They first sang "So Hot" and I thought that it was an OK performance. Wasn't that impressive probably because some of them., or should I say So Hee., was just really.. urgh. She needs more training. as in MORE.. and why is Sun Ye, Sun Mi, and Ye Eun's outfits like that?? T_T they should have sticked to what they wore on the music video.. I liked those a LOT better.. but anyway., all in all, i liked the performance. Their dance is really cute., though I wish Yoobin's throat gets better so she could sing on their next live.

I love their vocals in this song. :) and I was surprised on how Sun Mi improved a lot! ^^ I love her voice here., so as to Yoobin. ^^ though she was lipsyncing., hearing her in this ballad gave me a better impression of her. She's an excellent rapper, yes, but when it comes to ballads, I haven't heard much from her.. good job Yoobin!
Next we have Big Bang's Taeyang who also performed in Music Core with "Look Only At Me" and "Prayer". Both are from his first solo album called "Hot". I was really impressed with this performance! I thought it was just PERFECT. haha! He sounds like he's catching his breath though.. but heck! singing while doing those difficult steps is really hard but he managed to do so which is good. He has really proven himself., way to go! ^^ hehe =)

Lastly., we have one of Koda Kumi's new song, "That Ain't Cool" featuring Fergie. The song is included in her 40th single called "MOON" which would be released on the 11th of June. The song is very catchy and this is also the first time I hear Ku-chan sing in english.. hehe ^^ Her accent is cute in a way., and I love the part when she says "sayonara". haha. ^^ As to Fergie, her powerful vocals never fail to amaze me. :) and I was quite surprised to see how flexible she was! O_O. haha.. so anyway., the song is good but kinda repetitive and I couldn't hear Kumi that much. :(
