Girls’ Generation – “Tell me your wish” & “Etude”

소녀시대 – 소원을 말해봐 (Genie)
So Nyeo Shi Dae (Girls’ Generation) – “So woneul malhae bwa (Tell me your wish)”
Track 1 / EP 소원을 말해봐 (Genie) / Released 29 Jun 2009

Live on KBS2 Music Bank (3 Jul 2009)

Nosebleeding minishorts… Okay, back to the music. Super catchy chorus with an addictive clubbing beat. I’m totally buying the opening verse featuring the sexy low notes (perhaps except for Jessica). A really cool song… I like it better than “Gee” =)

Track 2
“Etude”

Live on SBS Inkigayo (28 Jun 2009)

A cute, energetic song to bump along to. Cute lyrics ^-^

TVXQ – “Stand by U” & “Share the World”

Stand by U
Track 1 / 28th Japanese Single “Stand by U” / Released 1 Jul 2009

Live on Music Fair 21 (20 Jun 2009)

With English lyrics

Yunho’s voice has improved. What a surprise =) Perhaps he got a vocal teacher who finally taught him how to shift his vocal point down. Although his voice is still much weaker and more airy than the other members, it is so much easier on the ears now that is less nasal and sounds warmer. My compliments to the boys again as they really feel what they sing.

Share the World

Kyu Hyun – “7 years’ love”

규현 – 7년간의 사랑
Kyu Hyun of Super Junior – “Ji nyeon gan ui sa lang (7 years’ love)”
Track 1 / “유영석 Yoo Young Suk’s 20th anniversary tribute album Part 1″ / Released 30 Jun 2009

Original by 화이트 White
Track 4 / Vol. 2 “The Logic Feel” / Released 9 Sep 1995

I’m totally blown away by the song. Haven’t heard the original though, but the Bossa Nova arrangement makes the typical minor-key Korean ballad tune less tragic and more relaxing. Definitely, Kyu Hyun is doing a good job in this cover. His natural and soothing singing suits the style of the song very well. How lucky we’ve got someone  from an idol boy group who can do ballad right. Kyu Hyun’s definitely another voice to look out for in addition to Xiah Jun Su from DBSK.

Live @ Yoo Young Suk’s 20th Anniversary Album Showcase (16 Jun 09)

Track 1 / Vol. 3 “귀향 歸鄕” / Released Oct 2001

Live on “Kim Dong Ryul’s For You” (24 Oct 2006)

A slow, relaxing song in the style of Lounge music. If only real strings were employed, it would sound so much nicer.

Live with 윤상 Yoon Sang

A very old video with poor quality, but the performance itself was awesome. I just love the tune and it showcased Kim Dong Ryul’s warm, lower range of his baritone voice. If this song is to be sung by Sung Si Kyung, it will sound very different for sure, but with a softer, laid-back touch. Hope to hear him sing soon =)

Kim Dong Ryul was great as usual in this live performance but the band was rushing. There was nothing he could but to go with the music…

Lena Park – “That Fool”

I like this song from “The Accidental Couple OST” better than all the songs from her latest album. The song reminds me of Misia’s “Everything”.
