Move over Wonder Boys - you're so last year, it's Boy's Generation's time to shine.
There is nothing better on a Friday night to wake you up than a slightly homosexual performance of "Gee" by nine boys in colored skinnys. With members from 2PM, 2AM, SHINee, and Super Junior the boys had enough talent to pull of a successful performance of "Gee". To top things off as soon as the boys had fun being females for 3 minutes SNSD came out and showed them the real way the song should be sung.
They have definitely out done last years Wonder Boys, which to me can simply be described as a train wreck.
Today it was reported that Michael Jackson (aka THE KING OF POP) suffered a cardiac arrest and passed away. Paramedics arrived at Jackson's home just too late and by the time they arrived, Jackson had no pulse. At the hospital they tried to resuscitate Jackson but had no luck.
Okay, I know that some of you idiots are sitting there and thinking, "What does Michael Jackson have to do with K-pop?" Michael Jackson may have never started a career in K-pop but it is certainly safe to say that he has had a major influence on pop today, and especially so in K-pop.
Don't believe me? There are tons of videos out there of K-pop celebs doing renditions of Jackson's dances and songs and here are just five of them:
U-know Yunho
Super Junior-H
Variuos Artists
Rain and Jewelery
2PM's Junsu
SHINee's Taemin
But of course no one does Michael like Michael himself so here are some of Michael Jackson's performances in Seoul.
Two of the other writers wanted to put their two cents in as well:
RIP, Mr. Jackson. - Rita (aegeantales)
I was literally brought up around Michael Jackson, even though his reign was years before my time. My brother used to imitate him at every single family function: hat, gloves and everything. I own all of his CD's, and in my house, we have a huge, framed photo of him hanging on the wall--the man had hugely impacted us. He inspired so many people in their musical careers with his music and his dancing, and even though he sang in English, somehow he managed to speak to the world. Even Rain, who couldn't understand English at the time (and still can't really now lol), has pinned Michael Jackson as his idol for what got him into music.
Even though he's gone, he surely will never be forgotten. His music has touched people all over this globe and we all will never look at a white glove the same ever again.
Rest In Peace, Liz (The_Lost_City)
Goodbye Michael Jackson and may you rest in peace always and forever.
Onew, leader of sparkling SM quintet SHINee, is famous among fans for his "Onew Condition" ("Onew Sangtae" in Korean). Whether he's walking off stage in the wrong direction, biting it on Star King, or spouting out random noises on radio shows, Onew seems to have this combination of clumsy and dorky that gives him his trademark condition.
While this condition sometimes leads to unfortunate accidents, it can also lead to hilarity, as seen in SHINee's recent High-Five fan event. At 1:20 in the video, Onew is confidently striding towards the fans, when he gets clotheslined by - you guessed it - a clothesline.
Oh Onew. That's not even the lone example of the Onew Condition in that clip, as observant fans have noticed his multiple failure at properly high-fiving the fan at 0:20. The video also features Minho punking Jonghyun with the classic high-five whiff, only for Jonghyun to turn around and trick maknae Taemin with the same move. Taemin's reaction to his hyung's deception is priceless in its high dose of deadpan.
Another Onew-related video has recently popped up on the web, depicting the leader in his predebut days at SM Academy:
While you can definitely tell that the giggly, chubby-cheeked teen in the video is Onew, the guy has definitely shed that baby fat, as we can see in recent radio show pictures:

Could SHINee's dorky leader be transforming into... a hottie? Not without some bicep curls, but who knows? SHINee, known as Korea's dongsaengs, may be starting to grow up.
Girls' Generation / SNSD's highly anticipated return isn't the only thing stirring up interest on the upcoming mid-year June 26th Music Bank extravaganza. Members from the boy groups 2PM, 2AM, Super Junior, and SHINee will come together as Boys Generation and perform "Gee."
So far, the rumored boys will be, From Super Junior: Yesung, Shindong, and Sungmin. From 2PM: Jaebeom, Nichkhun, and Taecyeon. From 2AM: Jo Kwon. No word on which SHINee boys will be included to finish the 9 member lineup.
That's not the only big news for this Music Bank extravaganza, SHINee and Girls' Generation will pay homage to former SM Entertainment groups H.O.T. and S.E.S. by performing one of their old songs, while 2PM will do the same performing a song by former JYP Entertainment group G.o.d. Popular rookie group 2NE1 will also do a cover of Rihanna's "Umbrella."
This mid-year Music Bank looks like its going to be an awesome show, I Can't wait for it! Thanks to Britney Cot for the tip!
On Girls Generation / SNSD’s 2nd mini album, “Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)”, there's a track called “One Year Later” which has been said to be a duet between SNSD’s vocalist Jessica and SHINee’s leader, Onew.
Both are known for their powerful vocals but the question is, will the two voices blend together well? I’m sure it will because if it didn’t this duet with the two probably wouldn’t exist.
The full mini album will be out on the 25th so be sure to check out the duet by buying the mini album.
And in other news, the male voice in "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" actually isn't Micky Yoochun of DBSK/TVXQ (very busy in Japan), but its is Yoo Youngjin, whom apparently is an SM Entertainment producer who's voice also featured in SHINee's "SHINee World".
