I long for the days of real music instead of manufactured boy/girl bands. Each decade, there's a new one managed by the same manager/company who started the craze with New Kids On The Block. Teenagers are the worst when it comes to spending money on useless things like a $ 50 concert t-shirt.

 They have been a fad in Korea for years.

Hey, these young ladies are all grown up now and they have fans much more than boys.

Strange, the music and so the song, looks too much familiar to me.... Should I wonder why?
Oh... I remember, here's the real song.
Just listen (if you want) then compare the sound / music, and the rythmn' :)

Christina Milian - When You Look At Me (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nxRIjRSzxGo#)


N.B : Btw, beautiful Koren ladies, for sure :)

I guess I'm getting old.  I know my parents once said these things but boy, music has really gone downhill.   Don't get me wrong some of the stuff they do is good and I like looking at the pretty girls but I can remember when it was about the music and not the looks.  Even with the boys you kind of have to be a centerfold first.  Sheesh!

Roy Orbison wouldn't have a chance today.  Neither would David Crosby just to name a couple.  I guess I'd better take being a teen heart throb off of my bucket list.  :'(

Shaun, Music has changed. Our (ahem) generation "Listened" to music. Today they "Watch" it.

Younger days a Witch or Vampire was an ugly warts on the face, dark human figure. Today every one of them (TV/movies) are little hotties and good looking guys. How else are they going to get these lambs to watch the shows?

All those profiles look like they have been photoshopped to me.........and we complain about the girls on CHNLOVE being photoshopped.  What chance has a girl got if she is looking for a husband if a girl making music has to photoshop her picutre as well just to sell a record?  :P Just shows sex sells now days. ;)

And a good bass thud in your car that can be heard 10 blocks away.  Just once before I die I would like to see one of those cars complete disintegrate when the bass thuds loudly. I mean every last bolt and screw back out and land on the ground.

Haha Shaun, that last comment made me think of something Gru said in Despicable Me:  Despicable Me - Gru - Why Are You So Old? (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tt71NL7GHzk#ws)

There's a couple of those cars around here. Florida had a law for it (loud music) for just a couple of years. They took it away this year? Don't know why.. but I wonder if a Taser would blow out the system?  :)

To go along with the loud music, they are now putting 28's on their cars here in California.

28's ? like these? Photo taken nearby.

Actually there is a way around the cost, they "rent" the wheels (prob. cost more) There is a wheel rental store in this shopping strip.

Yes, those girls are very lovely and watching them dance is very umm.. Distracting?  But I still do enjoy watching "The Wonder Girls" Another Korean girl group.

I find it amusing about the earlier comment regarding the management company and then the fact that they openly say it in this article, Teddy Riley... That is one fat rich old man.

So when he dies, will the movement die with him?
