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!

Damn, since Boram of T-Ara was in a horror movie I’m assuming she picked up some traumatising habits and probably scared my subconscious into singing that bloody line of their new track over and over and over again in my head!  And I strangely am starting to love it…. O_O

Anyway, since some people are being super pissy because they’re most likely super lonely in the Winter season since their busy online ragging on us for not updating…(Well excuse us for having jobs/personal lives/love lives/an education).  I thought I’d put in a little fluff post here about my opinion of this years girl groups.

Now, in the not so famous words of a famous TV judge I want to say that “I do not want to compromise the integrity of this blog by writing blog posts that have no honest opinion”. So if you happen to be mortally insulted by other’s opinion then I suggest you turn away, or better yet learn to deal with the real world pansies.  Of course this is a strictly opinion K-entertainment site about whatever we feel like covering, be fully aware that I do have tongue firmly in cheek.

I must say thanks though to those that support us, keep coming back and welcoming us with kind words, we majorly appreciate it. Those on the other hand that whine and moan, hush up and go elsewhere, we owe you nothing.

Now, down to pointless yet fun business!

T-ARA

I mention these girls first because I still can’t get their cosplay outfits out of my head, and that ain’t for a good reason. Don’t get me wrong, Fabio likes good cosplay but when it just looks cheap and stupid…. Well, it’s cheap and stupid. Anyhow, this girl group was getting a lot of attention before they debuted earlier this year. What with their “years of training”(I really wish people stopped using that line, cos who hasn’t had years of training in Kpop now?), and Mnet backing them, people were definitely going to pay attention.  Unfortunately they had two members leave before they even made their first stage. It was sad since one of them was the only girl I remembered and had a distinctive voice.  Anyhow, their swishing dance moves for “lies” and their moderately successful single “TTL” with the Supernova dudes made for a promising start.

Frankly, they’re like every other new girl group, it’s just that they have Mnet backing them. What with the great benefit of having your own popular channel to have free promotions with, they’re bound to catch on. I don’t really see anything special with them but they do grow on you. I only actually like 2 of them, and perhaps it is due to exposure. Despite the exposure issue, mini TaeHee still freaks me out. I just wish Mnet gave them better music and I am also aware the rap was mega cringe-worthy when they debuted, I also did watch their opening performances just to lol at them.   Cruel, yet at least I tuned in. Good luck but really some of them need to work on their singing, only one can actually sing well live.

2NE1

I really do think I made clear what I think about them before, nonetheless, musically I much prefer 2NE1 to all other groups out there. OK, OK, Dara can’t sing if her life depended on it, and yes she is so cheesy I think she oozes cheese rather than oil. Though, at least she looks like she’s enjoying herself on stage. LOL. They probably must have had the most successful debut I can even remember, and that isn’t an achievement I’m betting my life on, (since I’m writing this while I haven’t slept for a day or two so my memory is hazy), but that IS kudos worthy. Or a big cry out to the K-Pop industry… MAKE BETTER MUSIC DAMN IT! Really, no wonder the industry is suffering. I am not their biggest fan but props to them, or to YG, whatever. They have so much to work on with their stage presence, which I don’t just think is lacking, but I sometimes (Most of the time) feel like is non-existent. Still I’m rallying for a petition to get them as much back up dancers as possible, because really the stage always looks so empty and dead when they’re on it.

Yes, I have called CL a troll before, but that’s only cos G-Dragon did first. Nonetheless she is growing on me, why? Because I realise that her identity issues are a problem she seems to be working with and that she’s not such a bad lass and thus my mocking has turned to pity. And if you were G-dragons clone you would have problems too! And Bom, one day you will regain movement in your face and you wont just simply look like your saving marshmallows in your mouth for later! Barring all of that, I still look forward to their next group album I just don’t dig their solo music. Good luck and come back as a foursome soon please, no more drifting!!!  And I actually find Minzy faultless, she can dance, sing and rap, well done to her!

f(x)

Firstly, their music is perfect for afternoon Ajumma aerobics lessons with Chinese Instructor Victoria teaching at the local community centre. Secondly, they seem so sweet.

That’s it.

I had a lot to rant on about them before, but now I’m just wondering what new strange concoction of songs and dance moves they’ll come out with next. That and when Amber will start finally look like she hasn’t mistakenly walked in on the wrong stage and performed with the wrong group.

4minute

Magnae on the far right looks so high!

I probably critiqued these girls the most positively, lol. I started enjoying their performances a lot when they started their “Muzik” promotions, it was funny since I got so bored with their debut song, but now I can’t get enough of it. These girls have stage presence and pull off a good performance when they try, but sometimes I feel like they’re overworked and it shows. Although I really don’t know what they do to make them so tired. Again, these girls are quite likeable and I thought that they may be the most well rounded this year. But then they come out with their third track and then announced solo projects for JiYoon and HyunAjumma and then…. I got disinterested again.

Still, I look forward to their next group album and wish these younguns get some good music going for them next time round.

Secret

I wish they were kept a secret in the first place. Oh dear God, why did the cheesy 90s crawl out from behind us and take a bite? Their stages are tacky and cheesy, their song is tacky and cheesy, their Music Video was tacky and cheesy, the only thing I give them credit for is the running theme. Please, Please give them better music, choreography, everything!

After School

I was actually quite disappointed that they lost a member, due to the fact that she was the first to stand out to me and it seemed a shame she left. But I guess since AfterSchool is a group that’s meant to have people “graduate”, it was only a matter of time til someone left. Though I did wish it was freaky leader or UEE first.

They got two new members where one can sing and one’s just there to fill a spot in the choreo. I still always look out for these girls when they perform and am anxious to hear their new sound. I’m not a big fan of “Because of You” but it is catchy. Nevertheless, nowadays they look like a female version of 2PM and remind me of a combo of “Again and Again” and “I hate You” promotions, and it doesn’t help that they’ve upped the member tally to 7 as well.  I just wish there was less GaHee, more JungAh and Bekha and no UEE. Ah well, one can dream and mentally block out.

H.A.M

With that name it seems like their own company thinks they’re hopeless.  I have seen a few performances though and I do think that vocally they probably can out-sing most of the noobs out there.  They just need better clothes, music, cheoreography and a name.  I know it stands for “Heart and Mind”, but the first thing anyone is bound to think of is our oinky little friends.  Also having that name when Swine flu is rampant…not a good idea.

Rainbow

…..

No words, no words at all.

What are everyone else’s thoughts?

Honestly, it’s been so long since Se7en aka Mr Park HanByul made an appearance I thought he was actually in hiding or the leader in Rains new group MBLAQ.

He’s saying, “Oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah yeah yeah”

It’s about time that YG announced something in regard to this fella. I do remember vaguely enjoying his performances and liking some of his songs but that was so long ago I hardly remember. He may be coming back  hopefully early next year with the Big Bang boys! Now that is something I’m looking forward to. I may be old fashioned but I much prefer group efforts as opposed to their solo efforts. Is it me or do TaeYangs solo songs all sound the same?

On a side note though, I really want to know what it is with the Korean stars debuting in the States and  sudden returns to their homeland or adopted homelands (that’s you se7en and BoA)? They either run off and go back to the drawing boards or promote a song for a year and more. Poor Wonder Girls, I bet they can’t stand the sound of “Nobody” any more. You can only point so much until you want to poke JYP in the eye with those pointing fingers!

Se7en did his thing at some clubs or whatever, made a track with wannabe Asian Lil’ Kim called “Dem Gurls” and then disappeared in to obscurity.

BoA promoted “Eat You Up”, did Kollaboration, a radio tour and a gay rights gig and that’s all I care to remember (Yeah I’m sure they both did more than that but I’m not a dedicated fan to know the details, i.e. I just don’t care enough). Then Miss BoA did her normal thing and went back to gather some moola by doing a Japanese tour and  releasing a new Japanese Album. She promoted another song off the album, I think it was “energetic” but the video was so cringe worthy I forced it out of my memory.

The Wonder Girls did OK, better than the rest at least. With their existing fan base in the States and the teenybopper worshippers of The Jonas brothers, they were bound to make some sort of  feat in the States. The Billboard chart entry was it, they weren’t the first to do it but they still deserve kudos for doing better than the other venturing Idols.

Back on topic: I’m semi looking forward to the return of Se7en, he needs to remind me why I’m even bothered in the first place. And of course his poor fans deserve it, as do the other fans whose Idols have made their way to the U.S of A.

I never thought I would be saying that…ever.

Everyone’s favorite rookie girl group has been getting a lot of attention and love from other celebs.

Yoon EunHye publicly declared her love for the group, SS501 leader Kim HyunJoong is keeping his eyes on CL and now, so will Baek JiYoung. They should fight for her.

I dig 2NE1 as much as the next blogger, but I would much rather listen to their music. I guess it’s because I always get the nagging feeling that there’s a member missing every time they perform. That, and their dancing is not really up to par, which I’m glad they know and will hopefully continue to work on.

2NE1 is rocking it and rolling it and getting a lot of attention from you, your mama and her sisters’ hairdresser. I just want them to start promoting a new song now and for them to get backup dancers who can add to their stage presence, which I feel is only held up by Dara and CL. Minzy lightens up when she does her parts and is probably the best dancer of the group, in comparison to Bom who I just cant help but watch because of her awkward dancing.

CL must be happy that she’s an SM reject, because she’s getting a lot of positive attention as a part of YGs 2NE1, and hopefully more money. (She’s gotta be happy that she’s GDs mini troll clone as well.)

I enjoyed this performance of “Last Farewell” on SBS’s InkiGayo. Vocally, Bom carried the whole thing and the dancing was meh. Thank goodness Big Bangs dances are always fairly simple.

Though odd, I dig Minzys gloves here.

Keep practicing please!

It’s been a little over a month since I last updated on this guy and just when we thought he was busy a with a girl (or just even busy chasing after girls)…more news of him appears! So here is a little info for the die-hards and a little update for those wanting to know how his life has been in America. He has also signed a deal with one of the three recording companies/labels that attended his LA preview party way back in May but YG or RQM hasn’t released any info on which company or label it is.

The Myspace page has been updated and was officially “opened” yesterday and it includes some pictures of Se7en and the infamous Bentleys that are featured in a lot of YG MVs. YG’s got something going for those Bentleys. There is also a link to Se7en’s Official Online Store, which sells the limited editions of t-shirts but they are only sold in the US (boo!). A Youtube channel has been launched, but it’s not as great as his Myspace, as it’s just full of old MVs and CFs but it brings back a lot of memories! But I guess it’s better than nothing for now and we shouldn’t be complaining because the PR team has made a lot of updates in the past few weeks. Also, for you crazy and addicted Facebookers, there is an Official Se7en Facebook Group and Se7en’s very own Facebook profile, though I’m sure the profile page and group is not ran by him…

SE7EN Myspace Greeting Video

Great video. As for the English, you decide.
For me, it’s great and I love the “I love you guys” part!

Apparently, Se7en will be a special surprise guest at the 2008 International Secret Agents Concert on September 7th. Other attendees include Far East Movement, whom Se7en collaborated with for his debut album, and Wong Fu Productions.

And the question we’ve all been waiting for…”when is he debuting?” No clue. But I know it’s soon. I read somewhere (don’t remember where >.<) that it’s supposed to be early next year. Like what Se7en said in the video above, patience is the way to go! At least he’s made it further than Rain has.

Last but not least, photoshoot sneak preview!

This is the update for the past week, Monday 11th to Sunday 17th.

Festival rocks Jamsil to pieces

Two big Concerts took place in two Jamsil stadiums last week, ETPfest and SMTownLive ‘08. There were strange things to pick up in the media about one of them, but clearly they were both marked as successful. ETPfest opened up to a sold out audience opening its doors to over 40,000 spectators within the two days of the festival. The show was undoubtedly awesome and I think we can all be envious to those of which that attended. SMTownLive opened to Jamsil Olympic stadium with a less than enthusiastic response, but still went on to get a lot of positive remarks from the media due to the Big Name performers there.

Big Bang got busy

With Big Bang releasing their mini-album ‘Stand Up‘, it’s no surprise that they would be in the limelight a lot. With the Olympics still going on there is not much attention paid on the Celeb world or Music world since all eyes are on Beijing, yet Big Bang have found their own way to still pop up on the Media Radar.

First it was their crazy concert in Thailand:

Before they started their official promotions of their new mini-album the Big Bang boys held a concert in Thailand, causing many a fan girl to faint. 20 to be exact and it seems YG Entertainment was proud to mention it. “Our boys are studs and can knock you out with a look” is what they said in my head, after mentioning that.

The release of two MVs within a week.

It took a while to get here, “haru haru” of Big Bang that is, yet as soon as they released that MV with actress Park Min Young, we got another surprise with the release of “Oh My Friend” featuring the psychotically entertaining No Brain. I am all for promotion of underrated KRock Artists mainly because the underground K-Music scene is full of awesome talent, but seriously I couldn’t let ‘haru haru’ sink in and then got bombarded with “oh my friend”. Big Bang make it up though with being cute, and well seeing G-Dragon as a mental patient is always nice….

Thailand got lucky

Well to me, they did. Not only did they get Big Bang but soon after they left, Epik High came for promotions and a showcase for over 1000 fans. “We went there without much expectation, and it turned out we have a lot of fans here in Thailand. We were shocked when they sang along with us during our showcase performances. We have a tight schedule here, we are not feeling tired and is advancing smoothly.” Is what Tablo said on a phone interview about their trip. Any Thai fans out there willing to take me in next time they have Epik High around? Better yet any Thai fans that attended either event of Big Bang and Epik High?

SHINee need mouth to mouth resuscitation.

Noona’s, you wish. Well it’s a play on words to SHINees’ new single “You’re like Oxygen” that they teased us with the week before. The 5 young boys performed it at SMTownLive ‘08 (which was like a promotional tool for the upcoming SM plans to be honest), to a big happy response from fans. I am still waiting on the official MV, but in the forums you can get a listen. I hear only Michael Jackson with this song and as the official release is due tomorrow, wait for that. Although there is some controvercy surrounding the originality of this track, I am still giggling at their attempts to man-up these cute little boys.

lol, Beware of Darth Vader JungHyun….

It’s Wonder JIN?

Mnet is always the place to be for young music pop fans and their events are always fun to keep an eye on. You are bound to get some drama and interesting footage to keep you entertained till the next years version. And Mnet doesn’t want this years Mnet 20’s Choice (last years was the first), to go without some major attention. It’s not enough with their weird awards and choices but they have a strange collab stage going too. Jun Jin of Shinhwa and the Wonder Girls are going to share the stage for something, apparently spectacular. Well that’s what the PD is insisting on (I love how PDs get attention in SK don’t you?), and the PD also claims that after the performance it will by number 1 on search engines…. Ok, we will have our eyes on your project PDnim, but expect our laughter recorded and sent in a package to you if it ends up a joke….

Bae YongJoon forever young

In the heart and soul. The beloved Hallyu star had shoulder surgery recently after his well publicised shoulder ligament injury. After the two injuries Mr. Bae YongJun received after filming his last blockbuster he has been recuperating in the States and now will remain in the hospital for a week. South Korea’s prize smile should keep himself fitter and safer so he can swoon more Ajummas in to the Hallyu Wave…

East of Eden, right down the street

This has gotten tongues wagging for a while now with the uber awesome cast. The cast has a lot of big time names in it that leave your head reeling. Song Seung Hun, Yun Jung Hoon, Park Hae Jin, Lee Da Hae, Lee Yeon Hee, Han Ji Hye, Dennis Oh, Jo Min Ki, Lee Mi Sook, Kim Bum, Shin Eun Jung and many more are set to star in it. The teaser has finally been released and it will be interesting to tune in and see how this drama goes. The plot speaks of revenge, murder and ill-doings, definitely something to watch with a cup of tea and chocolates. Bring it on MBC.

The teaser:

damn, be prepared for drama, drama, drama and needless shedding of tears…

Unfortunately and once again, none of our staff members were able to go to the event…but we still have the news for you ^^

Many people attended the event and said it was a great party and from seeing the clips taken, I can already tell it was 9201759048903468 times better than the one in NYC!

Like reported before, he performed his three songs live with his dancers too! He also had a dance battle with the Black Eyed Peas. After hearing a better version of “Girls” at http://redqueenmedia.com all day yesterday, and then listening to “Money Can’t Buy Me Love” all day today, I think I’m in love with “Money Can’t Buy Me Love” more, even though it sounds like a Timbaland song! During the performance, money was thrown out to the crowd and written on the bills was Se7en’s official MYSPACE!! The Myspace has been launched but is still under construction, which you can tell when you visit it ^^ Teddy of 1TYM, who wrote the song, couldn’t make it to the event because he was held back in Korea for some reason but Mr. YG, Far East Movement, Three 6 Mafia and a whole bunch of music-industry-known people were there was there, as well as about 2000 party go-ers!

Thanks to javabeans at dramabeans for writing a review of the party and I definitely recommend everyone to read it ^^ Click here to read it

Red Queen Media, who is also promoting Se7en, said the album will drop on July 7th but the date is just an estimate and hasn’t been confirmed yet. Also, the album consists of 12 songs and they plan to promote him for the big screen (movies) as well!

Unfortunately, none of our staff members were able to attend last night’s party, but we still have all the news for you! Lots of people attended last night’s party and not just a bunch of Asians were there, but also non-Asians were there!! Jive Records really promoted this guy!! SE7EN did not perform any of his new songs but were played by the DJs. Coming from the pictures below, it seemed as if he gained a little weight. Coming out in all white and looking like the usual YG prince, he only went on stage to greet the fans, introduced himself and told everyone to enjoy himself, in English…with a REALLY light accent!!

[14.03.08 FAN CAM] Se7en White Day event Hiro Ballroom

SE7EN’s three new songs are hot and they’re growing on me!! It’s a whole lot better than the leaked “This is My Year”!! The first song with Three6Mafia wasn’t as bad as I had expected since Thee6Mafia are true hardcore hip-hop artists! The second song is really catchy!! The thirds song got a little repetitive and SE7EN “like ‘em girls”. Out of the three songs, I think the second one was the best!! The I’m just voicing my two cents, so visit http://sarang327.livejournal.com/ to listen for yourself!! If you don’t wanna spoil it, you can just wait for that official day to come!! I don’t even know it it’s legal to post these songs up…cuz it is equal to leaking the songs…oh well…

Pictures from the party ^^

Stay tuned cuz we will be reporting on the future preview parties, posting up new pictures and hopefully announce the official announcement of his debut and album soon!! Remember to support SE7EN…he has the chance to raise the successful rate of Asians breaking into the American artist!!

In just hours, SE7EN will be hosting the White Day celebrations at Hiro Ballroom in NYC!! It is reported that he will be singing 3 songs from his new upcoming album!! It is also reported that producer Mark Shimmel, officials from JIVE Records, and BET are set to promote the YG prince in full force at tonight’s party!!

YG announced…

“American music officials are showing big interest on Se7en knowing that the best producers like Rich Harrison, Noize Trip and Dark Child participated in his album. Se7en is planned to hold an album preview party in 5 cities in the US and after the album contract has been finished, an album release party in Atlanta will take place,”

I hope they officially announce him as part of Jive Records soon!! Promotions for this album will not come to a stop after the party ends because YG has made some plans for the debut!! So fans don’t be too sad…because this boy is coming to a city near you….hopefully!! I think that the album preview parties will be held in the most obvious places such as NYC, LA, and Atlanta. Can anyone else think of where the other two parties might be held?! I’m thinking San Francisco and Vegas just cuz he was seen there for days not too long ago!! I am so excited for this album *fangirls* I can finally put the HMV gift card I’ve been keeping just for album..but it’s expiring in a month…oh no…the album better come out before it expires!!
