Salute • 2nd album
Arenas at the second album campaign. When will The Saturdays? Hopefully this tour will be a success.
-
Imagine Dragons | 'Demons'
One o the biggest alternative rock songs this year. At least in my own ears.
-
Move • 1st single
I heard move two times on the radio today. It's a monster grower I tell you. It catches you off-guard when you hear it randomly and I find myself liking it even more than I did last month.

Move • 1st single
Finally some promo in the US. I hope they top their UK performance. They better slay this one.

Better Together | Promo single
They performed Better Together in Macy's Thanksgiving Parade. All the performers lip-synched, but this is good promo for the girls.

Under Control (with Alesso feat. Hurts) • First Single
This better be massive worldwide, if only for the increased awareness of Hurts.

K-Pop Appreciation Thread
I agree. 4Minute is a standout this year, and 2013 is probably one of the best years of their careers. Among the boy groups, VIXX is a standout. I feel that T-ara should release their second full album next year. All these mini-albums and their subsequent repackages seem very messy for me, but I'm sure their company doesn't care about those things as long as they get the money going.

K-Pop Appreciation Thread
Wow. We're having a brand, new comeback from T-ara... and the supposed-to-be leader that is Lee Qri is not even in front of the album cover. Underpromotion! http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MtFK6gRCoCI/UpS7p3JM8SI/AAAAAAAArvE/0yG8S3lMPKk/s1600/t-ara_again_1977.jpg

Jamie Lynn Spears - How Could I Want More
This is a very respectable and decent single. Looking forward to hearing more from this young woman as she can sing so well, and with so much emotions.

US X Factor Season 3
My top three so far are Ellona Santiago, Josh Levi and Carlito Olivero. Alex & Sierra could actually win though. The thing with Carlito is that he's very passionate about music the way he talks about it and his experiences, yet he's totally not pouring everything out when he performs. It's like there something that stopping all the juices from flowing out. He better be delivering the goods this week, or I'm afraid its his time to go home. Personally I would love Ellona to sing Say Something during her stay in this competition. Something simple yet will reveal her emotions and sincerity could be the game changer for her to ensure winning the title.

Union J - Loving You Is Easy
This is my favorite track from their album. I like these desperate songs with dance beats on them. I sure do hope this becomes a hit for them because everything they've done seems to be very 'middle of the road' as of the moment.

K-Pop Appreciation Thread
I am honestly not impressed with any of 2NE1's output this year. It all feels like "just to get something out there" for me. In my eyes, this year's stars are Crayon Pop, Sistar, Nine Muses and Girl's Day. After School's 'comeback' was more about the skill rather than the song, but the maxi-single as a whole is their best output as a group.

US X Factor Season 3
Josh Levi was the best one this week. Ellona can certainly do so much more.

Better Together | Promo single
Great news guys! The girls are releasing a deluxe edition of Better Together - a box set to be more specific! Here it is, and it's the best one out of all the releases. This EP campaign has been stellar isn't it? http://fbcdn-sphotos-g-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-prn2/1461851_325763847561633_1826245032_n.png

Little Me • 2nd single
I'm looking forward to what the video concept would be. I would like some pictures of the girls when they were still little, but that would be too predictable wouldn't it? The music video concept for DNA was promising with its Sin City concept, but poorly executed. It ended up looking 'cheap' and 'budget' for me when it could have been phenomenal.

Better Together | Promo single
They did an incredible job at performing the song at The Ellen Show. They shined individually, and an adlib from Lauren could have made it perfect.

K-Pop Appreciation Thread
My favorite act is After School, but I seriously feel they are mismanaged and underutilized. Their graduation-admission system is very good if they had more subgroups, and promoted members like E-Young and Kaeun more. I also feel that they should be releasing a second full album soon to establish themselves as a more stable Korean act.
-
Salute • 2nd album
This is a very solid album, but it got old for me faster than their debut did. I must say the ballads are up there in terms of consistency.
-
Janet Devlin - Wonderful
Her musical output is stellar. This is such a pleasant debut track from her. It almost feels perfect for an advert. Let's cross our fingers that a major brand would snatch it up, and feature it on to their TV adverts.
-
Little Me • 2nd single
It might not be my choice for the second single, but the song just screams that it should be. I do hope it becomes big for them because releasing a midtempo ballad at this time of the year seems to me is a good idea. They can show off their harmonies in the promos.
-
US X Factor Season 3
The overall production of the live shows this year is so much better than the past two seasons. It's rumored it'll be back for a fourth season, but without Simon as a judge / mentor. My favorites so far are Carlito Olivero and Ellona Santiago. Josh Levi and Alex & Sierra are very promising though.
-
Diana Vickers - Mad At Me
I was expecting Smoke to be the next single, but this is in line with the quirky pop sound of Cinderella and Music To Make The Boys Cry. I do think it's a nice song, but it feels very dated to me.
