Music Show Wins:: Week of 12/10 - 12/16

Image
 This is Verivery's first win in over three years. I'm so relieved. Y'all, they have been stressing me out. because they deserve so much better. Also, I find it hilarious that the extra stage for last week was them, and then this week they get a win. But, good news is that they're not the only first win for a song on the list. Taeyeon also got a win for her new song, and that's exciting, as is a third win for Hwasa! MCountdown is still out and Inkigayo is out for the rest of the year. I'm feeling a little sentimental, so I decided on Ep. 615 of After School Club featuring VANNER to share with you all. This was, funnily enough, one of the first ASC episodes I watched. Time sure flies. They're seriously so sweet, and JACKPOT was produce by Hui and Wooseok of Pentagon and another one of their songs from that album was produced by Hyunsik from BTOB. I really love that album, you guys. The Show stage is from earlier this year and I picked my boys xikers with thei...

Song Review:: Taeyeon (Girls' Generation): Panorama : The Best of Taeyeon- Panorama

Image
Release date: 2025 December 01 Album tracklist: Panorama , Letter To Myself , Time Lapse (2025 Mix), Fine, INVU , Spark, Set Myself On Fire, Some Nights, Make Me Love You, I (Solo Version), Why, Weekend, To. X, What Do I Call You, Four Seasons, All For Nothing, I'm all ears, 11:11, Rain, Gravity, Disaster, U R, Ending Credits Album runtime: 79 minutes  I raised my eyebrows a little bit at the track list until I realized that this was a Best of album (I did not in fact look at the title of the album in its entirety when I searched for it). One of those songs on there, I did a Greatest Hits post for it, which is delightful. (If there are any of her other songs, either in this album or not included, feel free to drop a comment here or drop a submission in The Form.) And you want to know the best part? The average runtime on these songs is almost four minutes long. Thank you, queen. Ooh, this is really pretty. It does shift into something a little louder deeper into the song,...

Greatest Hits:: Taeyeon (Girls' Generation): INVU

Image
 Last of the girl group submissions for the moment, then I get to move on to some of the boy groups, but it's not just boy groups. There's a co-ed submission in there, which is such a yay from me. I'm excited for that. But! I'm also very excited for this, because she is a second gen heavy weight, reigning champion of an artist. Award-winning. Best-selling. Chart topping. And that's just her as a soloist, that's not even counting the years before that as the leader of Girls' Generation, which is one of the most well-known groups to come out of K-Pop. I admire her a lot, as you can tell, and I also think she's really cool. And funny. I don't know if she's generally known for her humor, but I think she's hilarious. She's also fairly out-spoken which is something else that I admire about her, but the group turns eighteen this year. If anyone has earned the right to pass judgement on the industry, someone who has been as active as she has the ...

Song Review:: Taeyeon (Girls' Generation): Letter to Myself- Letter to Myself

Image
Release date: 2024 November 18 Album tracklist:  Letter To Myself , Hot Mess, Blue Eyes, Strangers, Blue, Disaster Album runtime: 18 minutes  I love it when older artists release things. While the untried pups are still working on finding their sound and figuring out how things work, which, I love watching the growing confidence and skill, the older artists have it down pat, especially the very experienced older artists, and a member of a second generation girl group definitely qualifies for that. Does that mean my expectations are higher? Yes. But I also trust she'll excel regardless because she wouldn't have made it seventeen years in a very fickle industry if she couldn't. Also, I just learned that apparently she was the first member of the group to go solo, which is cool. The run time is just short of 18 minutes, and it would have made it if the second song was two-and-three-quarters minutes. The build of energy over the course of the song is masterful. Starting with sl...
