2010 Live Performances in K-Pop
Have you noticed that the performances of this year have changed? Could it have changed because of last year's drama when the slave contract guidelines were exposed? Not just from one company, but all of them.
One thing's for certain, I'm not thoroughly impressed with most of the comebacks and debuts except for miss A, Se7en, BoA and SHINee.
YouTube "Sensations" I don't understand
There's something I hate about YouTube and that's the people who have been watched for the most stupidest reasons and get over 1 million view for being an idol in Asia and seeming to others that they don't have much talent.
Two people I dislike at the moment are Magibon and Beckii Cruel, Beckii more because she's actually trying to dance and do what I do on my YouTube channel.

- [Recommendation] 시간을 거슬러 by One More Chance
One More Chance is a pretty reclusive band, at least to me they were since it was by freak accident that I discovered them. Thank heavens I did, because I adore ‘시간을 거슬러’ off their 2010 mini album from a couple months ago.
[Review] Shady Girl by SISTAR
I think I’ve put SISTAR‘s ‘Push Push‘ a little bit on blast recently. I actually thought it was a decent debut single right when I first heard it, but my enthusiasm for the song quickly dissipated. It reminded me a little of 2NE1, with a dash of 4Minute and a side of Brown Eyed Girls, but not even then did I manage to have it on repeat.
And as far as their latest single goes, I don’t think I will be jamming to it any more than I did ‘Push Push’ (strictly based on my tastes). That being said, ‘Shady Girl‘ is a little more enjoyable and completely fun to listen to.
