Th...I think B.A.P. will make it big no matter what. They effortlessly pulled of H.O.T. cover and all the members have talent. Daehyun's vocals are impressive, probably as good as the rest of the male idols out there. They may seem like the "hype b-style" boy band, but they really got the vocals down, in addition to effortless dancing. The rappers actually know how to rap* ... wow that didn't come out right but its true. 2 main vocalists, 2 subvocals who can rap pretty well, and 2 LEGIT (as good as block b zico) rappers. They might just be the next big thing. If you haven't noticed, ALLKPOP has special articles reserved for them as well as their OWN page releases for live performances.

It was so good I'm willing to forget that the first one ever happened. If Cube don't mess it up by trying to give them more B2ST rejects, they could be great. I just hope they haven't destroyed all hope of relevancy by putting out that boring first mini. <br /><br />VIXX also put out great singles this year, maybe next year someone will care. <br /><br />SPICA were great, I just want more Russian Roulette less I'll Be There. <br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-17865229384604460342013-01-01T08:08:08.175+08:002013-01-01T08:08:08.175+08:00The rookies who grabbed me:
- Nu'est
- D-Unit
...The rookies who grabbed me:<br />- Nu'est<br />- D-Unit<br />- Lee Hi<br />- Ailee (tho her album has yet to grab me)<br />- GLAM<br /><br />They all have something in common: material that work for them [whether I agree with all of it or not] and they look like they aren't getting amputations (i.e. having fun).<br /><br />The rookies who could grab me but haven't:<br />- SPICA: I have BEG to satisfy my power house girl group tastes. They're not bad, but why go for the rookie, when the seasoned vets are still around?<br /><br />- JJ Project: That song makes me skip to 1:17 cause that's where it gets good for me. I don't like the chorus either. It's polarizing for me.<br /><br />- Hello Venus: I'm slow to catch on to groups that are cute, but I haven't ruled them out<br /><br />- B.A.P: I like their B-sides more than their promo Warrior-like material [I like Warrior, but Power, etc. just sounds like they're milking Warrior to death]<br /><br />May never grab me:<br />- EXO: I just never gave a care for them. *shrug* They were given material beyond their capabilities, so we'll see what they're really made of in 2013. Most of SM's material didn't gel for me this year, sans BoA and f(x).<br /><br />Waiting for:<br />- YG's new group of Su-Pearls members, etc.<br /><br />- A SHINee comeback that's a) not a scream-fest (I love you Jjong, but I want you to keep your voice), b) goes through more notes than half an octave, c) gives Minho singing lines he can pull off in that baritone<br /><br />Here's to 2013 and another year for Pop Reviews Now!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06416966334557432350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-40488744971600918212012-12-31T22:17:36.964+08:002012-12-31T22:17:36.964+08:00I couldn't agree more with this rookie choices...I couldn't agree more with this rookie choices if it was for a very pop perspective except for the Hello Venus part as the only standout for me in it was Lime. Fiestar (though I hate their name) is highly justifiable, Lee Hi has charisma, Ailee has the talent, JJ Project was fun and EXO, well, they're well packaged. Others rookies that are in my mind is Juniel and Busker Busker. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-38344154896835607132012-12-31T02:26:36.329+08:002012-12-31T02:26:36.329+08:00I agree with your rookie choices. Hello Venus was ...I agree with your rookie choices. Hello Venus was an unexpected surprise this year considering they're from Pledis. <br />Two other rookies that caught my eye this year were:<br /><br />She'z: While The SEEYA has debuted, I like seeing a vocally focused girl group that doesn't have a "concept" for every song. I'll pretend that "UU" did not exist. They need more of a media push though to register in people's minds.<br /><br />Crayon Pop: They're so cheap, it hurts. But they just HAVE to survive till next year because I want to see what other ridiculous clothes/songs they can perform with. They just look like they're having so much fun being this cheesy. They're like what Girl's Day should have been if they stuck with the cutesy route.nkehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00327125670654877018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9017678973431004838.post-15444707514358494402012-12-29T23:24:56.046+08:002012-12-29T23:24:56.046+08:00Your list is contains also some of my favourite ro...Your list is contains also some of my favourite rookies as well! :D <br /><br />Hello Venus is one of those cutesy groups that I think I can really like if they continue to play their cards right. Yes they are cute, but it doesn't feel nauseating or forced; its quite friendly and natural. Also they really don't resolve to the stereotypical ageyo, and they have quite a bit of spunk. Kind of like F(x) in their "Chuu" era. <br /><br />My top rookies of the year were....<br /><br />- B.A.P<br />- NU'est<br />- EXO<br />- Ailee<br />- Lee Hi <br />- Hello Venus <br />- JJ project<br />- Spica <br />- EXID <br />- Busker Busker (although, they're more indie than anything...nevertheless.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
