^Weird vid but I really like that song, as well as the rest of the album. It's length is kind of short when you compare it to their previous albums though.

I heard a snippet of that song in a Kpop music chart and when I actually played the video, I was blown away.  My daughter clings to me to listen and watch the video.  hehehe....in reference to Miss A's "Goodbye baby"

And it looks like BEG's new single is out, feels like a weird mix of Gaga, Madonna, Britney, and Michael Jackson's Criminal feel to it..  O.o

Don't know about you guys but I feel that BEG's come back album is overrated and overhyped.  Not as catchy as the last Abracadabra business... if you see their older work, you will see what I am referring to.  It seems as if the more $$$$$ you throw at it the worser the result.  I say, thumbs DOWN.

She hasn't released any recent albums per se, but from her last album in 2008 I like the rhythm of her English song "Nobody's a Nun" (the lyrics are interesting):
 
Can anyone identify the headphones she uses at 0:50? It's only shown for a brief moment.
 

 
 
I like the rhythm of her "Tikiville" song too:
 

 
 
 
I found a cover she did on YouTube for Nat King Cole's "Dream a Little Dream of Me":
 

 
 
 
Although it's another sappy love song (just a heads up wind016), I like her voice in this song too:
 
因為你愛我 - Yinwei ni ai wo - Because You Love Me
 

 
 
 
On a side note, I found this video interview on YouTube. Are those a pair of Beyerdynamic headphones she's wearing? Hahahaha, she said zou gao (糟糕), which is oops or terrible in Chinese.

She has really attractive voice!

One symptom of being someone who has a vast collection of music from all different genres, cultures, and time periods, is that I have completely lost interest in music that sounds too similar to many other songs already in existence in melody, arrangement, and overall vibe. For example, a typical rock song with drums, guitar, bass, and vocals would have to be really inventive in its songwriting for me to even notice it. Same thing with synth-based pop songs, typical RnB, metal...etc. Essentially, if I'm already familiar with lots of others songs in a very similar style, I really don't need to hear another one unless it is truly unique in its own way, and by unique, I mean VERY INNOVATIVE. 
 
The sad thing is, very, very few songs out there can be described as such. Too many are just regurgitated versions and emulations of other similar styled songs. And the honest truth is, there's far less innovation coming out of most Asian countries than in other places, because generally speaking, Asian culture places so much emphasis on conformity and harmony instead of individualism and innovation.
