As with the end of year countdown, its always expected to have the Gayo DaeJuns (Song Festivals) take place days after each other for all the main broadcasting stations to show-off  or outdo each other with performances.

There’s always the same performances with the same people on SBS, MBC and KBS shows that you sometimes fail to remember which performance they wore that particularly hideous outfit in, or which one made a fool out of so and so, and which show so and so made you want to puke, etc. And believe me, that has become a staple amongst the shows and the obvious favouritism and lack of creativity/originality is insurmountable on these shows, that not watching them isn’t really going to make a difference.

Not to mention the glitches that shouldn’t be made in terms of technical support… How many mics not working, bad camera work, bad timing or lack of synchronisation is there with these things, eh? You would think that with it being an annual thing there wouldn’t be so many mistakes. Think again.

And that’s why, our wonderful readers and trolls, we’re giving you an account of our thoughts on the worth watching mishaps, blunders and just plain EEEEWSIES (as in EEW, what the hell is going on? That’s gross!) in the end of year Gayo DaeJuns… Where Gayo sometimes means KAyo! (GO! Go! GO! away! in Hangul).

Biggest blunder (possibly of all time) SNSD and their over-exposure (in so many shapes and forms).

>(No need to insert any videos here for proof, go to YT and search for ANY performance!)<

Lady Gertrude in Shakespeare’s Hamlet said it best, when you try too hard to convince people of something, it most likely is not true….SNSD and SM “Thou Protesteth Too much” when it comes to claiming that your 9 demons have any talent.  Where the hell are the “Supernatural” Brothers  to get rid of the leeching, talentless, unbelievably un-sexy 9 demons of SM Entertainment?  Opening the doors of the Devil (aka Lee Sooman) really did let out some horrible things unto the World.  LOL.  Every performance was full of mishaps and blunders that lack of time could never account to the hideousness of their performances of their songs and/or special collabs.

Let’s get on to business shall we?

SBS

2PM weren’t very good in their past lives, were they?

WooYoung face right there, was his (And most peoples) expression  throughout the whole performance. Enough said.

G-Dragon gets emotional

Probably after watching Wooyoung suffer in the above.

Hes a sweet Hyung he is.

But we all know G-D has had his fair share of bad press (Plagiarism and indecency!) so he lays the blame on the oldest excuse in the book “I got something in my eye”.  Smoke to be exact.

CL shocks

Aww, they’re like Lil’ Kim and Se7en!

While performing G-Ds track “The Leaders”, 2NE1 leader, CL, wore a leotard of some sort with her underwear sticking out at certain places and had peoples panties in a twist since shes under-age. On the other hand, I don’t know if its those monster heels shes got on, or if its the out-fit or the hair but don’t G-D look teeny?

Boys should stay boys

I’m all for boys performing girls songs and vice versa but there’s a fine line between paying tribute and gay-fantasies.

The drag has got to go. (I thought they were “manly manly men!”?)

I actually thought ShinDong was HyunA for his, SHINee and MBLAQs’ performance of 4Minutes “Muzik”. On the plus side, I thought Key and ShinDong really worked it, and well… MBLAQ boys got the dancing down.

I don’t know what it is about Kwon that gets me in fits of laughter, that guy was made for the stage. 2PM/2AM/BEAST joint stage for Brown Eyed girls‘ “Sign” was good. They got those sleepy/dead looks down right, and of course a little Kwon diva moment in between.

I would have been fine with this performance if there was only less of GAH!ee. What was with that spasm in the end? Like a kick but then half way through her heart stopped beating too early and then, commence toppling.

And ofcourse…

Lil’ CL strikes again with her leaotard-ity!

CLs was the best rendition of this cross-dressing nightmare, hands down.

Mostly due to the fact that she IS G-Dragon, female.

Thats what got a reaction outta me from them liberal (Drag? Good!) SBS folks.

KBS

Taemins your Venus

He’s your fire, your desire~

Greek Goddess Taemin decided to go for a futuristic look with his Toga. Thats the only way I can make sense of this out-fit, I have no idea what else it could be but it sure as hell left an impression on me.

Gil goes hunting

But looks pimpalicious with the top hat and fur that he got as a trophy from his day hunting in the woods. Besides Gil owning everybody, he put on an awesome performance with teammate Gary and Jang Giha & The faces (Personally, one of my favourite bands)

Gorilla man lives his fantasy

Is that the ’sexy’ “Oh-mo-na”?

JYP decided to spice things up with a “sexy” dance performance with Son DamBi. But we all know it was just an excuse to perform female dance moves on stage.

KBS Gayo Daejun was probably the most versatile out of the three, seeing as it wasn’t as much of an Idol Fest as MBC and SBSs’ were.

Last and definitely the least….

MBC

CLEAR!

After School and Son DamBis performance of “When I grow up” certainly shocked me. I don’t know if Gahee was still hung up over performing “Heartbeat” the day before and that she, and apparently the rest of After School and DamBi, had to constantly pop their chests to regain composure, but what the hell was that?

Is Gahee really fluent in English? Cos’ by the sound of it, shes the worse of the lot.

JYP wants mini-mes!

Break a leg, pops!

Looks like JYP wants to re-live his youth through the 2PM boys (The sleazy hip thrusts, oh the sleazy hip thrusts!). DJ Jinyoung looking and sounding like a Cockatoo  really had me distracted, especially with the ad libs (lol) and the pleather (not lol).

__________________________________________________________________________

I know there was probably a lot more to comment on with last years Song festivals but some performances took a lot to mentally block out (The ones that didn’t have “lol”s in them, just “Wtf?”s) and I would rather not re live them O_O(*cough*MBCs-horridly-cheesy-video-intros/attempts-at-creativity/reminder-of-why-their-variety-shows-are-failing*cough*). Plus, if I had to comment on everything disappointing I’d go on forever (Can somebody say Michael Jackson tributes? Where was the passion, where was the fire?).

So, which Gayo Daejun (No matter how exceptionally similar they were) did you like best?

I nearly forgot to thank Fabia.O for working together with me on this! Thanks!

SM Entertainment say hello to Karma…

Be nice now kiddies.

Oh ho ho ho, how juicy juicy juicy.

Their lineup clear indication of their split?

Please.

I’m sure a lot of you have heard about the rumors about DBSK,  Asia conquerors and record holders of the World, and SM Entertainment, Slave drivers and Jackasses of the Entertainment biz. Well, we weren’t going to cover it initially cos well, it was blah to begin with and filled with he-said, she-said, they-lied schizz, but now things are becoming so clear.

SM Entertainment is run by a bunch of childish greedy whiny kiddies.

Shall I summarize and simplify what’s going on?

Since I neglected the site for the last few days for my own personal holiday (hey the beach frolicking pics made me jealous), that and now I’m free, I’m going to for funsies.

DBSK have always been the biggest money-makers for SM ever since Shinhwa left SM Entertainment. The DBSK boys have only been growing in popularity and eventually made records on a world scale with their humongous fanbase. They’re fun, happy, jolly and hella talented, so of course they would be loved. Not to mention, they’re also seriously hot.

SM have in the past had a great formula for success, it all started with Mr. Lee SooMan hunting down schoolgirls to ask them what kind of boyband they would like to see.. Yeah, it sounds wrong, but he insists it’s OK…I mean look at his marketing plan for SNSD! All for the good of his business! With the results of the surveys he created H.O.T and made them the great success they were. A few years later they broke up. That was followed by their negligence of Shinhwa and once successful, their suffocation of them which eventually made them leave and buy rights to their name after a lengthy and brutal legal battle.

So, after the bad past SM have had with H.O.T and Shinhwa, one would be smart enough to assume that SM would, like the smart adult businessmen they are, learn from their mistakes and make sure DBSK don’t end up the same way. But that’s not the case, they’re still the proud, stubborn, greedy business that refuses to let the artist get what they’re owed.

It seems that even DBSK have no idea how much they earn. Um… say what? Aren’t they meant to know, in accordance to any developed countries legal system? It should be clear on contract how much they get, ratio-wise and they should know their accounts.

Slave contracts as well were meant to be abolished a very long time ago! Artists should receive a fair amount of money from their work. After all, they do have a lot on their shoulders, and DBSK should have also paid off all the debts they incurred with SMEs training program.

Now, the hubbub comes from a lot of conflicting news, what with SMs sudden announcements about Yunho and Changmins acting arrangements.

If anything, it seems like provocation from SMs side, alienating those involved with the lawsuit. Thus, the rumors about the “disbandment”.

So yes, SM has been quite malicious, although obviously in the wrong.

SM has a lot of pull in the industry, many a time using their connections to force companies to allowing their artists to have exclusive appearances, MC gigs and shows. A lot of the time even getting banned from certain channels, last year MBC, this year KBS in the first few weeks of the year and now Mnet.

How did this hubbub start? Because of Hero JaeJoong, Micky YooChun and Xiah JunSu investing in a Chinese Cosmetics company with their own money. It’s not at all clear why SM have such an issue with their involvement in a separate company, since they have all had money invested in businesses in the past.

The only thing some people think is the issue that SM has with the Chinese company, which has now been claimed by the boys lawyer to be “blown out of proportion”, is that they may bank on the name DBSK without SM getting a slice of the action.

What with their already large cut of the pie, rumored to be from 75%-90% to the management company and then the remainder split to 5 people, it’s no wonder the boys are probably enraged.

It’s evident now that after 5 years and more of working their fine booties off for SM, and then getting their name slandered, through making their investment out to be some sort of betrayal, not only to SM but Changmin and Yunho, that they filed for a lawsuit yesterday (July 31st). The lawsuit asks for all their accounts to be sent in for review by the courts.

Which of course means that their contract will also have to be assessed.

Smart move boys. Yet what this does, is further alienate the other two, making them stuck in the middle. What was an issue about 3 of the boys with a cosmetics company has turned it in to a war between them and SM, with Yunho and Changmin as casualties lying in no-mans-land. After all, the other two were obviously played as pawns, what with the SM Entertainment backed drama for Changmin, and the 2 for 1 offer with Yunho and Go ARa.

It’s a smart thing to keep yourself waiting for a few days as opposed as every hour of the day plastered to the comp for updates on the matter. It won’t be resolved very quickly, if anything this is the best thing to happen to DBSK for a while, they will finally get what they deserve, hopefully. Same with Karma and SM Entertainment, this is throwing all their dirty laundry out for all to see, and it really is stinky.

Perhaps this will make things better for the rest of the acts under SME. The clearest thing seems to be now is the real name of SM Entertainment. The abbreviations aren’t really “Star Museum” as was previously claimed, it’s Slave Management.

All in all, what’s going to happen isn’t clear, what with SMTown Live coming soon…

Although a lot of people will be left disappointed, DBSKs appearance may fall through and perhaps even, the entire show may be cancelled since a lawsuit is officially under way.

Everything else in accordance to this issue is rumor and not fact, don’t worry too much Cassiopeias.

Loving the T-Shirts

But apparently without much tact is what Ms. Jessica Gomez did on the show “Good Bodies, Bad Bodies and Weird Bodies”, aka “mom mom mom”. Which I shall be referring to as mom3 cos it requires too much effort.

Anyhow, The half Australian, half Singaporean-Chinese model made a feature on the MBC Sunday night show (Sunday Sunday Night), which keeps changing every few weeks and started some controversy.

And how nice of her to, since this show needs a lot of publicity since its brand spanking new.

Jessica made an appearance to showcase her sexy model body, in a seriously sexy swimsuit, which looks extra good on her. If you think you’ve seen her before, you have, she models for the aptly titled “LG Bikini” where yes, she wears a bikini in the adverts.

The problem herein lies with Ms Gomez being far too sexy apparently. Considering that the show is about helping people look good and achieving the perfect body they crave, whether they have a good body, bad body or a weird one, (get it?) it should have been a good feature.

It’s not a bad idea and is “different” considering the other choices but it’s what happened afterwards is that the responses weren’t as positive as they had hoped it would be. The show (starring Jung HyungDon, Jo Hyongki, Kim YongMan, Park MyungSoo, Kim KyongJin and 2PMs NichKhun and TaecYeon) was slated as too provocative.

Mothers complained that although the premise of the show was to their liking and that the men were funny and entertaining, little Ms.Gomez was too provocative for their children’s eyes and their weak hearts.

Since, the only people left watching MBCs offerings on Sunday Night are Ajummas, MBC should cater to them well.

I also found the irony that the show was nicknamed Mom Mom Mom and was only complained against and watched by moms and their kids, quite giggle-worthy.
