[Gayo Daejun 2012] Part 1: The 10 Best Performances

The performances I chose are some of the most creative, most confident, and best-executed performances -- they're strong from top to bottom and side to side. These are the performances that bring out some of the best talent in K-Pop, and that really do a good job of showing it off.

The 5 Best Albums of 2012

There are albums that come with fireworks and explosions left and right, but at the same time have all the foundations laid out firmly. It's those kinds of albums that made the list this year, but first I had to find them, because believe me when I say that there weren't a lot.

Six rookies to look out for in 2013

The acts on this list fall into one of those two categories -- acts who I think did a phenomenal job this year and deserve to get even bigger, and acts who I think have the potential to do well next year. These are the rookies who proved themselves, whether it be in one area or all, and managed to stand out.

[#1] Infinite - "The Chaser"

Infinite started out with material a cut above the rest of their fellow rookies and now that as permanent fixtures in K-Pop, they carry on with material that's a cut above everyone else. "The Chaser" is everything this list aims to put forward, and everything that I, as a critic, want from a song.

[#2] Ailee (with Simon D) - "Shut Up"

This is what happens when you give a good song to a good singer and do a good job delivering it. This is what happens when people in the industry pull themselves together and do a good job because they genuinely want to. This, my friends, is called magic.

ALMOST THEREEEEEEEEEEE

It's been quite a while, hasn't it? Well apart from getting dengue (this tropical virus you get by getting bitten by a mosquito. yeah.) and being confined to a hospital, dealing with haters left and right, and not going to singapore because of getting the aforementioned virus that is fatal - I'M ALMOST GRADUATING!!!! And you know what happens after I graduate.

Just swinging by to tell you all that I'm alive though. I have around 2 weeks to make-up for everything I missed (because I got sick, duh) and tie ALL loose ends - if I manage to succeed, I graduate! And when I graduate, I go back to writing! YAY!

You honestly don't know how much self-restraint it's taken me to not write for this long, but this is for the better - I HAVE TO GRADUATE DAMMIT! As if I'd give away my slot at the country's #1 university just because I didn't graduate.

D-Day (aka graduation) is April 11, so expect me to be back by the 12th - if I do graduate!

As always, the archives are open - read away, but be nice! :D

I'll see you guys when I see you, (I am around Twitter and Tumblr and FB a lot though, so hit me up there if you need me or if you just wanna talk!)
