As part of the continuing theme, here is the third and final post about Korean's biggest girl group Girl's Generation aka SNSD, and this post is all about their music video's. Not only are their music video's are in Korean, but Japanese and one in English. Let's start with their first music video, Into the new world.
Into the new world was released August 2nd 2007, and peaked at number 5.
The next video is Kissing you, which was released January 13th 2008 and also reached number 5.
Here is their biggest music video to date, Gee which was released January 5th 2009, and was the groups first number 1 hit. The song was also released in Japan, and managed to reach #2.
Here is both the Korean and Japanese music video for the group's hit sing Oh!, the Japanese version is part of a double sided single along with the song All my love is for you.
Here is the Korean and Japanese versions of the single Run Devil Run, this was realised as a double sided single with Mr. Taxi in Japan.
Here is the music video for their single Paparazzi, the song managed to get to number in both Korea and Japan.
Here is the single for sub-unit's single Twinkle, this song has received a lot praise and managed to get plenty of awards.
Here's is Girls Generation's comeback single called the boys, which was not recorded in Japanese but marked the first time th song was recorded in English and brought the group to the rest of the worlds attention.
Taeyeon is the lead singer of Korean girl group Girls Generation (see previous post), I gotta admit that she is part of the reason I love Girls Generation so much. Taeyeon is an amzing singer and dancer, she debuted as the leader of Girls generation in 2004 and she achieved the lifetime achievement award at her high school graduation in 2008.
Taeyeon is the oldest member of Girls Generation, during interviews she is very hilarious and she tends to make a fool of herself. My favourite song is The Boys, and Taeyeon looks and sounds amazing in that video. She is also a member of the sub unit Girls Generation TTs along with Tiffany and Seohyun.
Girls Generation is one of Korea's biggest girl group and they debuted in 2007, and they have even managed to crack Japan as well as releasing a song across europe. They are a group made up of 9 members, Taeyeon, Tiffany, Seohyun, Jessica, Hyoyeon, Sunny, Sooyoung, Yoona and Yuri.
Their Biggest selling single to date is Gee, the song spent 9 weeks at the top of Gaon chart, and the song has sold 4,894,567 downloads. The song set the record for longest chart topping song, and it was the most viewed K-Pop video with 84.5million views.
There is also a sub-unit to girls generation consisting of Taeyeon, Tiffany and Seohyun and the released their first single Twinkle in 2012. The sub-unit will feature all members of Girl Generation, and they will be switching members with the release of a new album and the change in concept of each album.
They recorded their first full english song in 2011 called The boys and the song has received mostly positive feedback, mostly praising their improved choreography. I hope that they release more english videos, but I'm just as happy listening to the Korean songs.
I love Rebekah, she is definitely the only reason that I have really gotten back in to watching the vampire diaries. Her and the rest of the originals bring a much needed change to the show, which focuses too much on the love triangle and it has gotten pretty boring and outdated. Now the originals bring a much needed change the show, and especially Rebekah.
Rebekah is very vindictive and very nasty, but she also does have a sensitive side and she is just your typical teenage girl. She wishes she could just live a normal life and she hates to be alone, she hates to be rejected and she can't accept the fact that her mother wanted to kill her. She will do anything for her brothers, even if it means killing someone. As long as she continues to be on the show, I will definitely stay interested.
I have to admit that I have become quite the Gleek, I have become addicted to watching this show. I will admit that I did lose interest for a while, because I wasn't able to watch but when I had a catch up i became addicted to it all over again. The main reason that I have fallen in love with this show is the songs and the characters renditions of some of my favorite songs.
So because I love the songs so much, I decided to make some videos dedicated to my favourite Glee songs. I came up with the idea to do my top 30 favourite songs from Glee, and I will admit that Rachel and Mercedes feature heavily in this countdown.
However, I have discovered some songs that didn't feature in my countdown that I really love, so I have decided to make another set of videos but this time it won't be 30 songs. It will be the top 100 songs from Glee, and I'll be splitting it in to 4 videos. I look forward to sharing them with my readers.
I have to say without a doubt that Amber riley has one of the most powerful and unique voices I have ever heard, she is one of the powerhouses of Glee. She is definitely equal to or better than Lea michele, if Mercedes ever left the show then the show wouldn't be the same.
She has such a recognizable voice, she can hit notes that most singers would be lucky to reach and she is such an inspiration to me. Her rendition of I will always love you made me cry, it was so beautiful and reminded me of Whitney houston. Amber riley is definitely the next whitney houston and her voice is just as powerful and amazing as Whitney's.
As long as Amber remains on the show, I will continue to be a Gleek and even if she is just going to be a recurring character then I will be happy.
I've got to say I've become a really big gleek right now, and one of the main reasons for that is the leading lady herself Lea michele. I love her voice, she has such power in it and she is able to reach notes that most artists are unable to hit.
Lea michele is such a massive inspiration to so many aspiring young singers, including me. I've been singing since I was 8 years old and I'd be lucky to be half as talented as her, she is an amazing singer and very talented actress. If it wasn't for her, Glee wouldn't be the same and it probably wouldn't be as popular.
As long as Lea michele stays on the show, I will forever be a gleek and I hope she gets even more solo's in the upcoming fourth season. I can't to see her in New york, and know what happens to finchel.
I finished filming my music video and finished editing it as well. I also managed to produce a draft of my evaluation ready to show my lecturer on wednesday.
Okay last week was the last week of filming for my Final major project, and I managed to get all the footage I needed. I filmed Debbie's scenes in a park not far from college, we were meant to film at the arboretum but she was running very late and we didn't have time to get there. After filming a couple of scenes in the park we then went to a street and filmed her last scenes.
On friday I went and edited all the footage I had and managed to finish editing the majority of the music video.
Okay I have to do a journal as well as a diary, and the journal focuses on all aspects of the FMP while the production diary only focuses on the production of my Music video.
Week 1 - I had to re work my idea a bit because the actors that I was going to be using in my music video fell out, so I decided that I would film their scene's separately. I started working on my Prezi to show to my tutor.
Week 2 - I started working on my storyboards for my music video and I also started filming the music video in the TV studio
Week 3 - I started editing my music video together.
Okay, well after the first week of filming I was kind of hoping to have the filming all done by this week but unfortunately my mate decided that she couldn't do the filming this week. I was able to do some of the editing for my music video on Wednesday and I've almost finished editing all the scenes that include me, and all I have to edit is the table out of the shot.
I will be finishing filming on Monday hopefully, and then edit on Tuesday so I should be able to finish my FMP by the middle of this week.
Okay so it's been a while since i last posted, but over the next few weeks i will be posting more frequently, and this is all to do with my final assignment at college. I'm doing a music video for my final assignment, which i chose to do myself, I chose a song by my favourite artist Britney spears and it's one of the songs that was just a demo. The song i've chosen is called Strangest love.
I started filming my music video today and filmed my scenes in the TV studio, I had to mime the words to the song while the song played, and this will make it easier to edit the music video together and get the song in sync with me singing.
I shot several different versions, with me sitting on a table, sitting on the floor and standing, the lighting was used to added softer effect, and the colour scheme was pink and green. The next scene's I need to film are of my friend who will be the heartbroken girl, and the narrative of the song is about her.
Selena Gomez is just an upstart in the music industry, but already her videos are proving to be very popular. She found fame on the Disney channel in Wizard's of Waverly place, she has since branched out in to both music industry and the film industry. To date, Naturally is her biggest single and being able to break the top 10 in the UK, and that has only been done by 1 other Disney star Hilary duff.
Selena Gomez has released 3 albums, and she has sold a fair amount of records, she is only just starting out in the industry but i see a good future for her.
It's officially 2012, and hopefully everybody has had a great start to the new year. To ring in the new year, here are some music video's of single's tht are set to be big in 2012. I also hope u had an amazin christmas. I hope ur all excited for this year.
In order, they are Jessie j - Domino, Kelly clarkson - Stronger (what doesn't kill you) and Rihanna - You da one. I hope u all enjoy and hav a great new year.
