Still Waiting :: BIGBANG World Tour

Sorry for the lack of posts still...I'm kinda still in a funk but trying to work myself out of it..

I swear the more and more I listen to Alive the more frustrated and antsy I get about the LACK OF INFORMATION ABOUT THE WORLD TOUR. Like geez... you've teased all of us long enough! Announce the cities and dates already [as if they need the publicity]!! 

 (btw my favorite songs on Alive are "Blue" & "Ain't No Fun")

Well while I was scouring the web trying to appease my need for BIGBANG I decided to check out the entries for their cover contest & omgeeeez. Some of these contestants got skillz! 

Here are my top three (these people are sooo good, I just had to share!)

IzzyLovesMusiCk's

This girl is just sooo cute! How can you watch this video and not love her version?! The best part? THE UKULELE!! If it was just up to the boys I think her winning would be a sure thing.

Terry He (何天宇)

Another English version...yet what makes it so good is that its believable. I can't tell you how many "translated" videos I've watched that just come off straight corny and/or hilarious. Terry He's version is legit in the fact that I still feel that emotional connection to the song just like when I listen to BIGBANG's version.

remixeeeeeee.. I love this version because it slows it down and really emphasizes the emotions behind the lyrics. Slow'n steady. Its definitely a jam. My one grip would be that I wished he would changed it up a bit more. Take Lil Wayne for example, he always grabs tracks from other artists and basically OWNS THEM. I would have liked to see D.Meanor do just that. Just tear this track up!! He comes close to doing but falls short. Definitely like his vibe though.

Like I said befre, there is a bunch of extremely talented people in this contest so it'll be interesting to see who wins the grand prize. So until we get some more information about the world tour I would suggest you check this competition out, you might find a few YouTubers worth subscribing to. 

    

btw I just wanted to leave you with one example of Lil Wayne tearing up a track...this is a song by the artist Miguel called "Sure Thing"... its a nice song. Actually it was one I really loved....take a listen. 

then Lil Wayne had to go and be a show off...totally OWNING the original version...

thats the jam right??? Thats what I was hoping D.Meanor would have done with the "Blue" track. Just devour it. He's got potential, he's just got to take it to another level...

Flutterscape :: Kawaii Video

I've wrote about Flutterscape before on this blog and think its such a great site/service. While I was browsing the site tonight (I'm currently on the hunt for an iPhone case) I noticed they had posted this super cute video explaining how their service works. Thought it was too cute not to share!

Check it out below::

SASA :: Eyeliner Help

Today I was searching for some skin care products (because a girl can never have enough) and while I was on SASA's website I came across a video they had for "Tips on Eyeliner." I use eyeliner just about everyday so I'm always a sucker for these videos so I watched it and thought it had some cool tips so I wanted to share.

Video Thoughts

- I've tried the Dollywink Liner and honestly wasn't that impressed. I don't know if it was my skin type or what, but I thought it wasn't very long lasting and the color was kind of dull (Black).

- After watching this it made me want to try the Jealousness Waterproof Liner but I have never heard anything about this liner before.

- Is it just me or is she putting her liner on really thick?

Fat Cat's New MV

Have you guys checked out Fat Cat's new single "Is Being Pretty Everything?" [thanks to @Dramafever for sharing!]

When I saw the teaser I thought the MV would be along the lines of Gwen Stefani's "What You Waiting For" but it actually wasn't which was kinda a nice surprise. Along with being very visual appealing the song actually has message that I think most girls can relate to.

So who is Fat Cat? 

I asked myself the same thing after I checked out the video. I really hadn't heard about her until earlier this week when I saw the teasers.  She is still a relatively new artist having only debuted in September (2011) yet has a commanding stage presence that has people talking. 

These days there aren't many artists (KPOP) who debut without a group. While there are many idols who choose to go solo after working with group, I think the fact that Fat Cat is able to generate such interest in her solo act is something in itself.

BTW I tried to access her Official site today but couldn't because it crashed, but you can check out her twitter account :: FatCat0_0

TheKoreanTourist

TheKoreanTourist is such a cute YouTube channel that I just had to share.

Basically TheKoreanTourist, aka Alyse (not sure how she spells it), shares different things in her daily life as a university student in Korea. Her videos vary from displaying & talking about what she received in the month's glossybox to visiting Seoul Tower.

One of the things that makes her so likeable is that she is just a normal everyday girl! She currently has 34 videos posted to her YouTube page so I hope you take a moment to browse and watch a few! You won't be disappointed.

YouTube Awesomeness

These past couples of days YouTube has had some pretty cool videos and such going on so I wanted to share....


1) Jang Geun Suk has opened a YouTube channel.

read full article @ AllKPop

This is cool considering he just shut down his twitter but also kinda weird since I thought he wanted more privacy. Whatever though. I'm still excited! His user name is PrinceJKS (not a big shocker) & currently has three videos posted. Hopefully we'll see more activity soon.


2) KPop is its own music genre on YouTube's music page!

I don't I need to say why this is cool, it just is.

3) TAEYANG's cover of Beyonce's "I Miss You"

Simply amazing right?

Sweet and Tasty

Since I've been watching so many KDramas I thought I would look up a few Korean Language videos on Youtube and I came across SweetandTasty. 

Check it out! Her series are not only super cute but also pretty helpful.

Otaku Encyclopedia

I'm doing a small giveaway on my YouTube account, so I thought I would share with you all too!

Sasa Purchase!!

I recently caved and made my first purchase from sasa.com!! OMG. I've been wanting to make a purchase from there as long as I can remember and now I finally have.  While I know there are several different, reputable retailers of Asian beauty products online, sasa seemed to be one of the front runners, so I thought I would give them a shot. 

I just placed my order a few days ago, and once I receive my items I will be sure to post a haul!  Actually that is another reason for me finally making a purchase.  Currently sasa is holding a contest to find their "Miss SasaHAULic."  You can find out more information on their site, but basically they are looking to find someone to haul/review their newest products.  Too cool right?  So what are you waiting for? Place your order & get your haul video up there!!
