Black History Month : Korean Music Edition part 3

K so, this is the third and final part of Black History Month : Korean Music Edition! I hope ya'll enjoyed reading these and if you didn't, then.....

.......okay, i'm not really sure where I was going with that one.
Anyway, our last person was a contestant on K-Pop Star and she definitely stood out and made it pretty far in the competition.
TBQH, I'm really sad that Supearls got disbanded before they even began as a group mostly because I felt like a lot good things could have happened for Lee Michelle.She has so much talent and potential that it kinda hurts to think that she's lost her chance at becoming famous. But anyway, whatever happens, she's still super talented and no matter what she'll still have her voice.  

3) Lee Michelle

Michelle Lee is a female singer and music instructor from South Korea. A participant in the worldwide Kpop Star music audition/competition, Michelle has been praised for her powerful voice, wide range, and mature singing skill. She gathered early praise from the 3 judges who are also representatives of SM, YG, and JYP, and was recognized as a strong contender to win the contest along with Park Ji-min. During the group audition stages, the 4-person girl group of Michelle, Ji-min Park, Seung-joo Lee, and Jung-mi Lee drew rave reviews for their renditions of Girls' Generation's The Boys and Irene Cara's Fame, which resulted in all four members advancing to the next stage.After the show she was signed by YG Entertainment and was supposed to debut as a member of the girl group Supearls. On February 18, 2013 YG announced that the group has disbanded, and their contracts were nullified. 

All dramatics aside, I'll just end by saying,  I'm really proud of her and I wish her AAAALLL the success in the future cuz i'll definitely be rooting for her.

Black History Month : Korean Music Edition part 2

K so, Let me just start by saying that I LOVE THIS WOMAN. she can sing, she can rap and i'm pretty sure she can dance too. So, here she is!

2) Yoon Mi Rae AKA Tasha Reid  AKA  The Korean Hip Hop Queen

Yoon Mi-rae is a South Korean hip hop and R&B singer and rapper. She is part of the well-respected Korean hip hop crew The Movement, and belongs to the label Jungle Entertainment. She is married to Tiger JK, and has one son.
Tasha was born in Texas to a  Korean mother and an African American father. She often faced discrimination because of her mixed heritage. Her father, Thomas J. Reid, was a DJ when she was young, so she naturally became acquainted with music.

In 1995, she started to organize members for the group that would become known as Uptown. They debuted in South Korea in early 1997, when She was just 17.

In 2001, she took on another challenge by changing her name to "T" and making her debut as a solo singer. The song "Time Goes By" was released and T’s solo debut was a success. 

She is still considered to be one of the best female rappers in Korea.

This song make me want to dance/Feel empowered  every time. 

One of my favorite songs ever!!

I love the sampling in this song :D

Part 3 is the third and final part of Black History Month : Korean Music Edition. Can you guess who the third person is?

Black History Month : Korean Music Edition part 1

K so, in honor of black history month, I have decided to make a post about black people in the Korean music industry. Now, I know these 3 women aren't the only ones that are involved in Korean music but since I am more familiar with them, I decided to spotlight them. So here we go!

1) Insooni 

Insooni (Hangul: 인순이; born Kim In-Soon (김인순) on April 5, 1957) is a famous female South Korean singer. Insooni made her debut in 1978 in a group "Hee sisters (희자매)". Since then she has recorded a total of 19 albums (14 regular). She is now South Korea's acclaimed R&B diva with a wide range of fans, even though nearly 30 years have passed since her debut. She is one of the few singers who performed at Carnegie Hall in New York and earned several top prizes at broadcasters' annual award ceremonies. She is distinguished by her rich, throaty voice on stage. She was born to a Korean mother and an African American father, who served in the US military in South Korea, and was brought up by her mother alone, with the assistance of Pearl S. Buck International's child sponsorship program. She is now regarded as one of the best female singers in South Korea.

If you've watched Dream High, you've definitely heard this song before!

I had to add this last one cuz  she definitely pulled it off very nicely :)

Can anyone guess who's gonna be in part 2 of Black History Month : Korean Music Edition?

Valentine's Day!

OMFG yaaay its valentine's day!!

 okay now that we've gotten the fake excitement out of the way, lets move on to the main topic.

so I had a bit of trouble picking a valentine but after a while i decided to chose this person not only because he GORGEOUS but also because he's SUPER talented and over the years, I have grown to adore him.
when I first saw him in "You're Beautiful" (one of the first few Kdramas I watched) TBH I didn't think very much of him. I much preferred Jang Geun Suk. But after a year or so, I found myself listening to a CNBlue song.I downloaded the song after listening to it over and over again. and suddenly they became part of my top five ( i do this top five thing where i pick my top 5 girl groups and my top five boy band)  but anyway, as the year went by and I fell more and more in love with CNBlue's music and I realized I really liked Him. and when I found out that he wrote most of their songs I started to like him even more. Then I watched some of his interviews and stuff and that just made me LOOOVE so here he is, My Valentine, Jung Yong Hwa!

~Oppa Saranghae!!

Super Bowl Halftime Show (Beyonce's Concert)

Oh Lawd! Where do I begin.
K so Let me start by saying that I had been looking forward to this for months Okay? So when the day finally arrived I couldn't even contain myself.
I sat in front of the TV 20 minutes before it started waiting, moving around and squirming in my seat. I could barely sit still.
Finally, FINALLY it started and I was in disbelief.

I was singing along and dancing along and fangirling like a little school girl.

And when  the rest of Destiny's Child appeared and I was like

It felt so good to see them all together! Kelly's Bod is Sick! and she definitely worked it and Michelle did well too.


Like an un caged wild beast Beyonce was super ferocious with it! She was dutty wining the fuck out of her majestic hair, giving us that sexy bad ass Gone With The Wind Fabulousness and I thoroughly enjoyed every millisecond of it. Plus, She blessed some of the audience members with her hair while she performed Halo. I was beyond jealous.
She caused millions of women to question their sexuality and turned famous celebs into stans with one performance.

....Then I went to my room to watch it 3 more times before I went to bed. The more I watched it, the more I loved it.

I'm not even sure how the Super Bowl is going to top it next year. It's humanly impossible to top Beyonce. The only person that can top Beyonce is Beyonce.
