Musical Tastes (Part IV: Pop/Guilty Pleasures)

Yeah, so I'm not going to pretend to be some cultured music connoisseur who only listens to the cream of the crop, not sullying my pallet by partaking of the opiate of the masses. Quite to the contrary, I dive right in! It's good to listen to something fresh and upbeat every so often, something you can sing along to while glancing nervously about for someone who might spot you and mock your nerdiness.

BoA: Yeah, she could've easily been clumped in with the R&B group, but she comes off as much more of a pop sensation to me than anything else. Whatever, she's hot, has catchy vocals and catchy melodies, and that's all that really matters, right? "Moto."



.melody: Another artist I found out about through listening to m-flo. She has such a pleasant voice, and is quite the looker. Yeah, she probably should be classified as R&B, but it's 5am right now, and I'm tired. "Born 2 Luv U."



Wonder Girls: Alright, guilty pleasure. It's so mind-numbingly catchy... @_@ "Nobody."



Ugh... I'm tired. I might follow-up on this tomorrow, iunno. Why the fuck did I stay up for 6 hours...

Sleepy // Korean BoA This Time

// Oh BoA, you're so smexy... if only your english was a tad bit better, I could enjoy your new American album better. As it is though, the fobby accent's killin the experience for me... =/ Lovin the dancin in the new vids though. Puts a lot of American artists to shame. \\

Man, it'd be so nice to be back in school right now, when the days were filled with only a few hours of lecture and maybe an hour or two of actual work. I miss those leisurely days.

Eh, whatever, fobby accent aside, I'd still love to have her eat me up... :3

I'm hoping that Hikki and BoA's arrival on the American scene will usher in an influx of asian talent into the music industry. There's so much good stuff overseas, but it tends not to branch out so much in the English speaking nations (otaku fanbase aside). Moar exposure!

At the very least, hopefully people will start paying more attention to the music scene in Asia...

Short post, tired, sleep sleep time.
