Super Junior

Super Junior is a kpop group that came out last year. There are TWELVE members in the boy band, the oldest born in 83 and the youngest in 88. The group is very dance oriented, and each member gets a few lines per song. What's unique about them:

-The group is large
-The have a member of the band who is fat (boy on right).
-They have a Chinese member (HanKyung, the ugliest as well)
-Every music video they make has homosexual overtones, (see video "U": one member looks like a woman, "miracle": two members stroke the fat boy's chest, and "Super Junior as Girls" they dress as girls).

oh man i have so many good videos but im restraining myself. next time, another kung fu star.

now she's such a skank

but before in the 90's, Christina Aguilera sang music that was cool.



Why do these singers turn into whores to keep selling CDs? Might as well keep your hits and integrity. Something I noticed also is that her makeup in recent years is like a "Christina" mask. It's not suppose to look like a normal human face. In fact, I think it's suppose to look ugly and scary.

Although she has a new image for her 3rd album due in August. I'll bet it will be really good. This song is pretty cool,



More talented then the other female singers, she should do something original instead of copying Britney/Gwen Stephani, Etc. She can sing like crazy though.

Jang Woo Hyuk

So I found this video of Jang Woo Hyuk pop dancing with Skeeter rabbit, and looked up some more videos, Evidentally, he's a former member of H.O.T. and JTL. That makes him double old school. Here's a clip about him and his 28th bday:



Anyhow, he doesn't look 28. Also I think he's the best kpop dancer out there.

lil john

shes pretty ...

...but cant sing well. What's with Taiwan/China and their pop music. Don't get it. At least this was live.

"How you conceive God and His Son, Jesus Christ, to be is exactly is represented in your life. Your or my life is an outflow of who and how we conceive God to be".

-Todd Dykstra, (former Shepherd of GoC & current pastor of Maranatha Baptist Church)

I took that from someone elses xanga (whom I dont know, goes to Grace Church). Just so I don't lose or forget it.

Good video. Watch whole thing

Thanks Lord.

Praise Jesus Christ who reigns on high.

Chinese music will never catch on

Here's a few reasons why the Chinese instruments are inferior to instruments of canonized western music. Firstly, Chinese instruments do not offer much flexibility. I am not sure who invented these instruments, or how they have been modified over hundreds of years. However, at a performance I noticed that a lacked the wide a range of pitches and volume like western instruments. Maybe the reasons why western instruments are so good is because France, Germany, Italy, and more (almost all of Europe) made and modified them for years, while only China makes erhus and pipas, etc. Even China makes good violins now (pretty cheap too!)

Something that bothered me about the erhu: there is no fingerboard. That makes intonation very difficult because the string can be bent quite a bit, making the pitch of the string fluctuate inconsistently (maybe unless you're a pro). Also, only two strings, A and D, small range of pitches... All western stringed instrumets have four strings. Additionally, the bow on the erhu is stuck inbetween the two strings!! You cannot remove the bow, nor can you bounce it. This lacks control. Furthermore, the bow must either be pulled toward the body or pushed away to contact either string (the bow being in the middle). I see a problem with consistency here. Lastly, the sound box, the resonator where the sound comes from, is so incredibly small, that you must move the bow aggressivly to vibrate the string and be heard. You have to amplify the box with mics in bigger halls. A final thought: you can imitate a chinese violin with a western instrument, but not vice versa.

The sound is quite beautiful though. Except I can't stand the sound of Chinese brass instruments. They sound really stupid, uncontrolled, annoying, and very loud. The music all sounds the same too (NWEE NER NWEE NER NER NER NER HONK HONK BEEP BEEP).

The end. I'm a player hater.
