Okay guys, well you know about the most famous contenders in this battle. Each entertainment company has their own special weapon in this game, and they usually are up against their same rival all the time. And if you still don’t catch my drift, I’m talking about Rain and Se7en.
But as long as they have been fighting each other in spotlight and comparison, the battle is finally dying out. And you know for damn sure who I think won *coughSe7encough* that one. Why is it over? Well Rain is trying to get the spotlight without his man JYP – and the only response he is getting is laughs instead of cheers (well from his antifans who proved themselves right at least!). Then our boy Se7en is trying to hit it big in America. Well, at least someone is getting somewhere!
Anyway, now it’s time for the FEMALES to get it on. That’s right, I’m talking about another YG VS. JYP battle!
Now on the YG corner, we have Kim Ji Eun (mostly known as just Ji Eun), the girl with the voice that all the YG boys seem to be diggin’. She’s been featured countless times with BIG BANG and her solo album did quite well even though she was new. She was a trainee for YG for years before debuting. Sort of like our star girl Park Bom (who was said to leave YG for SONY BMG, so I hear) :[ *tear* who worked hard to get noticed, and their voice showed it.
Kim Ji Eun’s latest, ‘Tell me Just Once‘ that feat. Park Bom (as the actress). Now sported with a new hair cut!
I first saw her when she was on radio shows with KARA all the time, and when I watched the whole episode, I noticed that her English was WOW, I thought she was from America. And her voice?! My goodness, it was almost as powerful as the original but she had her own voice/tone to it.
As of now, she is performing this in many music stages and radio stages. What a pretty song and pretty voice!
And in the JYP corner, we have J.Lim (a.k.a. Lee Jung Hee/Lee Jeong Hee) who was born in 1981/5/17. First recognized as Korea’s number one street performer then Korea’s Alicia Keys (and in a way looks like her when J. Lim still had corn rows. And damn Alicia is TALENTED), it seems like things are going good for her!
Like our lost girl MIN, J. Lim is also debuting in America! So she cut off her work in Korea… or so we thought… J. Lim has advertised herself quite big recently for her new album ‘Before I go, J-Lim’, which came out on 2007/10/08. It too has been accepted quite well.
She recently collaborated with Big Boi for her Korean album and did a come back performance! Her MV also featured Big Boi and JY Park.
Special Live with Baek Ji Young.
Also, check out >>J. Lim’s official American MySpace<<
Most surprisingly, the reason why Rain improved his ballad singing is thanks to her. She was his vocal trainer. >>English subbed performance of them singing together<<
And guess who is number FIVE in the Korean charts? Her comeback single,
Crazy for Love” with American rapper, Big Boi, is still in the top ten. Congratulations!
_______________________________________
What I like to know is, if Kim Ji Eun decided to go to America and launch a career like J.Lim, who do you think would make it voice wise? They both have nice personalities and are very pretty, but which do you think has a stronger voice? J.Lim plays her own instruments, but Kim Ji Eun writes some of her own lyrics too, like J.Lim. Can anyone say “Talent” please?
But look, they have sung the same English covers! Who does it best?
KJE “Love”
LJH “Love”

they’re both such great singers!!!
first of all. i love YG entertainment. i think out of all of them, it is my favorite. I just love the artists they put out there and their main focus is on r&b and rap, which i love.
well..besides the point…
they’re both soo pretty and great singers! but with very different singing styles
for me, personally, i like JLim’s voice better.its just deeper and more sultry i guess.? i dont personally like jieun’s voice that much because i think its sorta squeakish..iono just my opinion.
buti haven’t heard much of j.lim though
and im sad to hear that park bom left YG.
i was lookin forward to her singing with big bang and stuff a lot!
