[KPOP] 2PM, 2AM, Super Junior World Cup Songs

Okay, so I am pretty late with this post.. I have been pretty busy lately and only finally found time today! Many K-Pop artists have been releasing world cup songs and its not a surprise that 2AM, 2PM and Super Junior joined the list. Here's my review of their songs!

2AM sang the song 'No.1' which will be featured on a official worldwide soundtrack of world cup songs which features artists from all over the world. A big honor! Anyway, I really like this song a lot because its such a cute song. The only thing that I really didn't like was the autotune. There was just too many in the song! But, overall, this song gives me a 'feel good' kinda feeling and makes me feel happy inside.

I give this song - 9.5/10

I was quite amazed when I found out that 2PM too, released a world cup song. And it is titled, 'What's Your Celebration?'. I have to say that this song makes me feel pretty warm inside. I can actually picture South Korean fans at the world cup match singing this song. Although the verses sound a little messy at times, the chorus manages to make up for it. Overall, its an enjoyable song that is pretty easy to hum along to.

I give this song - 9.5/10

Super Junior's world cup song is called 'Victory Korea'. Its not really sung by the whole of Super Junior but rather just Super Junior H without Kang-In. I am not really a fan of this song especially when the song starts because it always gives me a shock when I am listening to it on my mp3 player. This song is pretty okay but I find that there are some parts that sound pretty similar to MC Mong's 'Indian Boy'. And there is a part that sounds like it just came out from 'Sorry Sorry' but in a different tune. Not trying to be mean, but this song really didn't live up to my expectations.

I give this song - 7/10

[KPOP] Super Junior 4th Album

I know, I know.. I am late with this album review. I haven't got the time to post until today. Anyway, Super Junior is back with their 4th album and have already started their activities like their comeback stages. I have to say, is it just me or Dong Hae worked out?! Most of them have physical changes and its quite a surprise. Not hating it though... more like loving it! Anywho, here's the album review!

BONAMANA - I had previously wrote a review about this song. And, upon hearing it again now, I have to say that it is quite catchy and has got me singing along. Although I gave it a 5/10, I still enjoy this song. [LOVE IT!]

나쁜 여자 (Boom Boom) - I wasn't really a fan of this song but the tune just keeps getting stuck in my head, thanks to 3 straight days of listening to this when they sung this for their comeback stage. At times, this song comes off as a little dirty to me, with the tune and the vocal almost making it sound like a seduction. What I really liked about this song is none other than Hyukkie's rap! He is the only thing that stopped me from pressing 'next'. [HMM.]

응결 (Coagulation) - This is a KRY song and although it is super slow and the melody comes off a little sleepy to me, the vocals are hauntingly beautiful. Especially Kyu Hyun. Thankfully, the melody kinda picks up a little towards the ending which makes it so much nicer. [LOVE IT!]

나란 사람 (Your Eyes) - When the song started, the first thing that popped in my head was, 'Oh my gosh! It sounds like the kind of song mum and dad used to hear years ago!'. But, Kyu Hyun and Ye Sung's voice saved the day. It is actually a duet between those two and I have to say whoever decided to let the two of them sing together is a genius! With Kyu Hyun's beautiful vocal and Ye Sung's husky awesome vocal, the song just automatically becomes a winner. [LOVE IT!]

My Only Girl - When this song begins, I wasn't really expecting much. The melody is just okay and the vocals, at times, sounds kinda messy. So, it doesn't leave a good impression on me. [HATE IT!]

사랑이 이렇게 (My All Is In You) - When I saw the title of this song, I was expecting this to be a good song and the boys didn't let me down. And, I heard Teukkie's voice for once, super clearly! It was a nice change from all the beats, autotunes for the boys; finally hearing them clearly without any other effects in the way. Best song of the album for me. [LOVE IT!]

Shake It Up! - I was thinking that this song wasn't going to be a hit with me but, I have to say, they proved me wrong. The melody is actually pretty catchy although when they got to the chorus, it was kinda strange. Of course, Hyukkie's rap with the beat of the song suits perfectly, making it a little fast for a while. But other than that, it is a semi-fast tempo song that doesn't get you moving. [HMM.]

잠들고 싶어 (In My Dream) - I was quite impressed with this song especially since I kinda thought this was just going to be another KRY kind of song. But, surprisingly, Sung Min and Dong Hae's voices popped up during the verses and they sounded like they could be members of KRY too. [LOVE IT!]

봄날 (One Fine Spring Day) - The piano playing in the beginning made this song sound pretty cute in a spring day kind of way. This song is actually Ryeowook's solo, which I find is about time he got one. His vocals toppled with the melody of the song is really beautiful and pleasant. It was kinda like this song was made for him and only him to sing. [LOVE IT!]

좋은 사람 (Good Person) - The song started sounding like one of those upbeat songs but as it got into the song, it didn't. It was actually kind of slow for me. The tempo of the song was a semi-fast one but the vocals made it sound a little slow to me. [HMM.]

Here We Go - This was what I meant by upbeat songs. It kinda has the power to cheer someone up too because I found myself smiling a little. The beat of the song with the melody cheers people up and I have to say that this is the sort of song that Super Junior sings. This song just elevates a person's feelings. I especially love Hyukkie and Shin Dong's rap towards the end. [LOVE IT!]

I give this album - 8.5/10

[KPOP] Super Junior 'BONAMANA'

So, the much awaited Super Junior has released a song from their upcoming album called 'BONAMANA'.

First of all, although I love this band a lot... I would have to say that these song wasn't quite what I expected. It sounded quite like their previous hit, 'Sorry Sorry' with a mix of SHINee's 'Ring Ding Dong' during the chorus. As for Super Junior, they sounded like they lacked a little something in the song. It didn't come across to me as energetic as it should have been. Maybe its because their 3 men down compared to their previous album. But, I would have to say that another song should have been chosen for the first release because right now, I am pretty disappointed with this song. But, nonetheless, I hope that Super Junior's comeback will be a success and hopefully the other songs in the album are not going to be a disappointment.

I am giving this song: 5/10

Stay tuned for a review of Super Junior's 4th album!
