  1. Awful semi for me :(
  2. lew!! The shade. My country is called Daehun!
  3. Is there a source on this? As Shallow is only 6x platinum certified and many songs have more in Australia than it.
  4. I’ll not qualify I don’t think. Meh.
  5. YYEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSS Not even K-Pop can overcome the Goddess!!
  6. If you want a song with a 2000s chorus, then mine is IT. (And a proper chorus ofc)
  7. I meant an actual studio album :)
  8. Omg I completely forgot about SHINee! :o Although they don't fit into any of the categories since BIG BANG were first active just after TVXQ and that's also when Super Junior started to debut too.
  9. She is the SLOWEST artist to release anything ever. BRING BACK THE FAME/MONSTER era where she released something every couple of months! :angry:
  10. I strongly believe that SM were notified and initially supported Jessica throughout the thing, until they realised that it affected the rest of the 8 members schedules too much that they had to subsequently cut her from the group. Both parties have openly admitted about the initial support of the entire thing so does bring back to my theory that it probably was out of Jessica's selfishness that caused the entire scandal in the first place (and her being stubborn and not seeing that, thus holding a grudge on the rest of the 8 members when it's quite clear that some of the members were incredibly upset after her departure whereas her emotion towards any of the 8 is rather flat). Also YG is shit. I never gave into the hype about that company and the artists that are from the catalog are incredibly 'western' sounding hence the massive international fan base. For me the only time I preferred YG was the following: Big Bang > Super Junior Girls Generation > 2NE1 EXO > WINNER Red Velvet > BLACKPINK Period.
  11. Yes she will and she did, and that is "The Fame Monster" ^_^
  12. Also re: the Jessica situation it was confirmed that after their pending comeback was done she would publicly announce to 'take a break' from the group due to her own solo activities. However as we all are aware this happened right just before SNSD's comeback happened. Naturally imo both sides have their rights and wrong but speaking from a 8 vs 1 scenario (which is what some paint it out to be), one has to consider the fact that the entire SNSD group was waiting for one another to release a comeback due to individual members having such great success in their own solo activities. Jessica's own fashion line however required a lot more time away and it naturally was never going to work out. It probably went along the lines of the members supporting Jessica with her own clothing launch, however the latter did not compromise a time with these members and dragged it out. This naturally prevented SNSD from having a comeback as soon as what they originally planned. In turn this affected the schedules of other members from pursuing their own things so the best solution was just to remove Jessica from the group despite some opposition from the other 8 SNSD members (there's cams of some members tearing up just after the entire scandal broke out). Jessica was not happy about how she was 'omitted' from the group and decided to post her version of her story (which in theory isn't incorrect, it's just that whatever she said basically sums up what I said in that she dragged and dragged all of it out for her own sake), which she then bore a grudge on the rest of her own group and SM for not following through with the initial plan.
  13. The reason why SM artists that have been established ended up on releasing less frequently compared to before, is due to the fact that the more established an artist is from that company the less profitable they become. This is the reason why you see the new groups/artists releasing multiple comebacks at the start of their career and once established you'd be lucky to even get a comeback per year. SM milks the money's worth out of their groups and once they are deemed less profitable, their attention shifts towards new groups and the cycle continues. I have read that this is because at the early periods of their artist's careers, they get marginally less share from what they earn and gradually this increases as time goes by. Another thing I've read is the threshold in which the artists have to cover due to them being trainees resulting in an accumulation of costs spent on each individual from a young age. SM milks the artists early to try and get all their money that they paid to instructors/trainers/writers/producers etc (as at the end of the day it's a business) and once the costs have been covered it's just a bonus for SM in whatever artists put out. Another thing to consider is the fact that gradually as artists progress on their career, there lies the scenario of these said individuals that want to do something else other than doing group-related activities. This massively affects the performance of the overall group as schedule clashes. Naturally this wouldn't be the case for newbie groups as they're very much in the "I would do anything to be popular/make some money (from a musical perspective)" mind frame and once established, they can then compromise with SM as to what they want in future whether be solo activities or pursue in another field such as acting/radio hosting etc.

    I'm currently getting 99 construction and hopefully I will be 94 by the end of today. I'm currently trying to train up a tank ranger but mainly because I like PKing. But in terms of having someone to play with me, I mean in terms of perhaps doing god wars dungeon and killing boss'es for loots etc! Anyways anyone who still play, add me! My name is Guaranteed.

  23. That video doesn't even do her or the song's justice as in another fan recording she slayed the vocals, so I'm rather confused :wacko: p-XOiK2FdYI
