To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.
Alright now listen up, I think that in order to truly celebrate and appreciate Nicole, a trip in times is necessary. I've organized this week of festivity using a timeline of Nicole's career. Each day of the week will be dedicated to a particular era of promotion. That way, we'll be able to witness her evolution as an idol.
I think that way will also encourage interactivity, members of this thread will be able to post pictures corresponding to said eras on the appropriate day and by doing so, everyone's pictures collection will grow.
So here's the timeline I came up with
As you can see, Day 1, today, will be dedicated to pictures and videos of Nicole before KARA's official debut with the single Break It from the first album "The First Blooming".
Day 2 will carry on to all the promotions related to and taking place during the release of Rock U (the 2nd album), Goodday/iMusician and Honey.
Day 3 will cover KARA's big break, Wanna/Mister and the infamous butt dance. I've added DVDs and TV Appearances because I have a lot of really good pics from a DVD they filmed in some island in Japan.
Day 4 will be Lupin & Jumping
Day 5 is going to be a special Japanese edition covering the Japanese promotions of JCL, GoGoSummer and Winter Magic.
Day 6 (the picture ran out of blackboards lol) will be dedicated to ton of pictures I have fom Nicole's university show as well as other stuff I couldn't find room for.
Day 7 will cover the recent promotions of Step.
And there might be a Day8 if more Winter Magic promotions happen during this, I'll bumo down Winter Magic to Day8.
So yeah, I think this is a great idea, obviously, and I hope that at some point, someone could do the same thing for another artist and we could dedicate a week to cover said artist's entire career. + Show Spoiler +
Debut performance, might have been the first one ever, not sure...
The best Break it performance was the following with Lee Hyori
My god did HSY KILLED that performance, amazing. I miss this
If U Wanna
Secret World
I can't find one the one of Secret World that was outside, was really good.
My thoughts on this era: Well, let's face it, during her debut, Nicole kind of sucked. I had yet to fall to her later developed charms. She had no stage presence at all, no fan service, no smiling, couldn't pull off acting cute during if U Wanna and not fierce enough for Break it. She was severely out-shined by Han SeungYeon in terms of cuteness/prettiness and Kim Sunghee was killing her vocal wise. Nicole was just there, not doing munch. Positive points from her debut: her cute promo pics and her high notes on Break it (I've always loved her voice).
I liked KARA as a whole, more during that era than today though, great vocals thank to Sunghee, HSY's prime, it doesn't get any better than that. The performances were more "pure" less lip-singing and more actual singing. Imagine the Nicole of today, as amazing as she is, being put back into that era. KARA would have taken over the world.
wait till i come up with taeyeon festival week. you'll wish you never mentioned this idea.

nah man, I won't regret anything, it's cool, that's the point of it.
As long as people use spoilers and keep things organized to not interfere with the other discussions and posting going on I think this can only benefit this thread.

Oh ok, I get your point. Tho not in my wildest dream am I expecting to see 15 Nicole posts lol. I though I would most likely be the big contributor and 3 or 4 more would post a small amount. I though that with spoilers, that little amount wouldn't interfere with the thread.

It's just a matter of length of post about one girl many people don't care about. Anything as well detailed and put together as this should be a blog and linked, it's kinda like moonwraths snsd writeups, where they're related to the thread but so long and specific they're better served by individual threads anyway.

These were the most beautiful words ever spoken to me and made my mission clear.

Actually I support this, because I feel like it would get lost in this thread. If you make a blog about it, it would be easier to find later. But I don't know, because the point of this is to get more people introduced right?!??! So if you just link the blog then only people who want to see will click it. I dont know I am so conflicted.
