Oddness/Weirdness

2012 was an interesting year for me and Oddness/Weirdness blog.  A lot of good things happened to me last year, blogging-wise, and I wanted to share my good fortune with you guys in a year- end post.

If you haven't taken a gander at Sistar's Hyorin, Kara's Goo Hara and 4minute's HyunA poppin' and twerkin' it in the 19+ commercials for soju brand Chum Churum, then you need to because it is not to be missed. cr. karalalala

As I'm sure all you Kpop lovers were aware, the 2012 Mnet Asian Music Awards, or MAMAs, finally happened earlier this morning (or last night depending on where you live), Check out the performances I thought were genius PLUS the ones that were full of fail below, and then make sure to let me know which were the ones you loved and hated in the comments. Edited to add:  After reading the comments I received, I felt compelled to add that I'm not just a YG and SM stan.  I did like other performances, like Block B's and Gain's, I'm just waiting to make another post when I find more HD videos. cr. kpopstarz

Ohhh boy.  HyunA has just released the mv for her new song, "Ice Cream" (feat. Maboos), which features a small cameo by Psy.  Surprisingly there hasn't been any mention of it being banned.  Innnterestingggg.  Check it out:

I don't talk about Kpop girls or girl groups on here very often, but this pictorial from Nylon magazine Korea of 4Minute's Hyuna really caught my eye.  I really like the styling (not to wear, just to look at) and the starkness of the photos, which makes the outfits and Hyuna's beauty stand out.

There have been so many videos to put up this past week; it's kinda crazy.  I usually never find this many videos to fangirl over in this short of a time frame.  Well, I have one more to talk about and that is PSY's "Gangnam Style". I am late to this bandwagon because I just watched the mv the other day but I'm here to tell you that if you haven't watched it yet, you are missing out.  Random non-Kpop related celebrities and people of note have taken to tweeting and talking about this video.  More on that in a bit.  First, check out oppa 's "Gangnam Style" and see if you can spot Big Bang's Daesung and Seungri and 4Minute's Hyuna.

My last BEDA  post  was about the worst live male singer so today, of course, it's alllll about the females.  Well, I for one did not have to look neither far nor wide for this one.  This was pretty darned easy, in fact.  As I've discussed previously on this blog, I'm not much of a fan of Kpop girl groups.   In my honest opinion, the guys are overall mostly so much stronger in terms of singing and dancing ability.  So who'd I go for today?  Really, I could've picked the whole group this person belongs to but I'll just stick with one:  4Minute's Hyuna. The following vid is all kinds of awkward, from the venue to the performance.   As soon as Hyuna opens her mouth and starts singing, my reaction was all... ... and then the rest of them start singing and it's all downhill from there.  Ah well... maybe they will have improved for their latest comeback.
