It's 30 years old and the choreography has evolved and now incorporates moves and gestures that span MJs Thriller classics to the ridiculous gangster rap crap that dominates today. Kpop Jpop etc display ZERO originality.

The Kpop and Jpop dance moves are so sissy. And if modern western pop bands exhibit this, it is probably reversed cultural influence at work, in the opposite direction. Kpop copies the earlier Jpop which did copied some moves from western pop at that time.

I remember the early days of Harajuku. But group bands with synchronous dancing had evolved and is a bigger thing than any, Far Eastern or Western, that has gone before.

You are right dance moves in the west have obviously moved on and they are the ones that do original dance moves with new influences from many cultures. I still think that the blacks are still at the fore front of creating new dance moves. Japan is the only asian nation that incorprates new fashion but they also copy that from the west or to a lesser extent some other culture.
 
One of the way to enjoy Kpop is to look out for the group members when they do appear on variety shows. It shows the member personality and also endears them to the general public.

Here's Jiyeon in action, a team mate of Hwayoung, also from T-ara.

Nobody could beat Aaron Kwok. His dance moves were sissy, but at least he did it with style.

You're obviously one of those twits that harbours the notion that popularity equates to quality.

For anything to be popular, it has to appeal to the masses and we all know that the majority of people in the world have an IQ of less than 120. If the Pinoys and Indonesians enjoy it, it simply proves my point that it is low class music.

K-Pop is inane entertainment for dimwits. The more intelligent amongst us have more discerning tastes.

Are u saying that iPhone which is extremely popular is not quality? Are u saying that Google which is an extremely popular search engine is not quality? I know what is real poor quality - your postings here. Neither are your postings popular
 
The guy's a real idiot. He spews a lot of hot air about helping the poor but obviously spends an inordinate amount of time wasting his breath in this forum. If he thinks that what he writes here benefits the poor in some way, he's seriously dillusional.

The PAP don't give a shit about what's written here. This forum is for lighthearted entertainment. It was never designed to be the seeding ground for the implementation of a welfare state.

It really surprises me that for some reason, all the left wing liberals seem to congregate here. The political compass thread pretty much confirms it. Perhaps they're under the mistaken impression that this forum was anti PAP. They didn't realise that I'm one of the government's staunchest supporters.

So by the same token, why are u writing all the carry-PAP-balls stuff since the PAP don't give a shit about what's written here. Aren't u wasting your time too?

It's totally a wrong assumption on your part that people who expressed views that are different from the PAP are automatically left wing liberals. Nor are they necessarily anti-PAP. This forum and many other online forums provide a platform for them to highlight certain wrong thinking on the part of the PAP in coming up with their policies. They know what they expressed along this line will never see the light of day in the mainstream media, so they come here and others. And hopefully their views would offer some alternative perspectives to the forum visitors who would never be able to read about such things in the mainstream media. In fact, the people who are wasting time here on this forum and the likes are those who post the very same things that the PAP had already saturate the mainstream media with. Who wants to read them over and over again when the mainstream media had been bombarded us the same things over and over again. Least of where they want to read what the PAP had said is at online forums like these.

It really amazes me how a forum host like yourself doesn't know all these.

The iPhone may be popular but it's crap. There are more dropped calls on an iPhone that any other brand. I've never owned an iPhone and never will. My cycling buddy has an iPhone and he's gone through 3 of them while I still have my trusty 5 year old Motorola. You need to keep up with the times. The iPhone is good at being a toy. It doesn't work that well as phone. Everybody knows that. So should you.

The best search engine voted by KNOWLEDGEABLE users. (not people like you) is NOT Google. Google is the most popular search engine but that doesn't make it the best.

I'm not saying that the iPhone or Google is the best in its respective field. But both are quality products nonetheless. No one can deny that. And no one can deny that they are very popular. So it proved your statement wrong. As always, u are wrong, always.

PAP may not give a shit about what's written here but my concern is that people who don't know much about Singapore will end up getting a completely distorted picture about the country.

Before someone visits a place, the first thing they do is to jump on the web and do some research. If they end up here and start reading the bullshit crap that you write, they'll draw conclusions about Singapore which are absolutely wrong. I therefore have to step in on a regular basis to provide a more balanced picture regarding what the country is all about.

Singapore is not perfect. I'll be the first to admit that. However, it's a damned sight better than most other countries. You won't appreciate what you have till you've lost it.

Twisting an turning like a politician as usual. You might as well become one. :rolleyes:
 
The lyrics may be Jap or Korean but it's all Western Music because the tune is composed from semitones.

Proper Japanese music has no beat and often has negative space (ma) forming part of the composition.
The choreography isn't original either. The dance moves are simply a mish mash of Michael Jackson moves with Hip Hop and a bit of Irish footwork thrown in for good measure.
It's absolutely disgraceful that the East simply cannot come up with something more original and closer to their cultural roots.


Composed from semitone ? We are talking about pop music and not traditional music here . Which pop music in the world does not have semitone ?
 
Will someone here say Japanese manga is a copy from marvel comics ? ;)
 
The Koreans are one up on the Chinks in one area.. they don't need Western names. Unlike the chinks, they feel secure with their own culture and heritage in this department.
