jane (kind of) likes...se7en's new music video
okay...so a couple things.
1) why do you make ur 'crossover' song with the word, 'girls girls girls girls' when you clearly know that the 'r' sound is the hardest one to pronounce when you're a F.O.B. (aka fresh off the boat...yes, it's a term that us korean americans use to describe koreans born and/or raised for most of their life in korea)
2) lil kim looks like a cat. seriously.
3) um, awwwwwkkkkkward chemistry btwn lil kim and se7en. esp at 3:23.
4) 'hollatchaboy' should not sound like 'hol-latch-urr-boy'
5) um, what did he just sing??? haha
so maybe i don't really like this music video. but hey, at least se7en is good lookin and despite what this music video shows, i know he can really dance. :)

jane likes...imeem featuring boa!

wow. so the first single featured on imeem's homepage is a k-pop artist, boa. Think britney spears of asia, minus the crazy-cutting-off-all-her-hair-baby-drama stuff.
okay, so don't get me wrong. i'm glad that k-pop artists are crossing over and getting attention in the US (i.e. rain aka bi). BUT i just wish korean-american artists could really be featured and highlighted here too (like, heather park). it's kind of backwards donchathink?
it's more of an upward hill battle for korean-americans (born and bred in the US, know the 'lingo,' no accent, talented as hell) than having pop artists from korea cross-over to the US market. ARG. are ppl in america just not that accepting of asian-american artists being at the forefront? is it really that big of a deal for people to accept that asian-americans don't have accents and can compete on the same level as other mainstream pop artists?
on the other hand, i guess we [asian-americans] need to prove our $$$$$ buying power.
okay, enuf with the rant. must...get...back...to...work. :(
