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.

And I sure as fuck hope it stays that way. America please laugh at them.

There's Diamond I guess, obviously would be the better choice but they're a month+ late for that.

Im going to feel embarrassed when i watch them thats for sure. Without any intention on shitting on the group i really cant see it going good :E

I hope they do well because I don't want to read thousands of posts nitpicking everything they do wrong and thousands of posts defending them

You're a noob that wants hardsubs. go for kshownow and you'll be satisfied.

And about Letterman tonight, it'll probably not be that great. My only hope is that it's not disastrous and they have a decent interview or something.

nah i'll wait for that DARKSMURF site you showed me, am i supposed to wait for the QC edited or something? having a general idea of whats going on is usually enough for me but sometimes i get those weird sentences that make no sense.

darksmurf subs arent really that great, the written english is much better in kshown
they are really fast sometimes tho, which i appreciate

I'm actually helping out with the editing. No worries though because some lines have no need to be edited (and therefore don't count towards the 100% completion). Simply because most editors are not "verified" we can't mark them as done. Kind of annoying

Right now there is very few to be edited as the last ~20% is not yet translated and the rest is looking fine.

Gotta agree. This is the first time me contributing towards subs. But they have some pretty bad english sentences in there (Which I fixed, duh!)

I'm excited/anxious to see the Letterman performance! An SNSD performance with actually good camera work? Yes please!

I think there will be a short interview for Kelly's show, she usually interacts with the bands. Letterman just plugs the CD and lets them sing.

so i don't get my earthquake and hurricane cams? :'(

Everyone in this thread seems resigned that SNSD will be singing The Boys. Is this true? ): ): God I hope not.


What else would they sing? I mean while gee is 100 times better it would be just as retarded and the american audience would be just as *WTF* at that, well probably more but still.

Now that everyone pretty agrees that girls groups should never set foot on America ever again, what do you guys think of the newer guy groups' chances at success in the US? Obviously JYJ never got anywhere, but I think that was more because of epic fail songs/video/promotion/Kanye West wtf than a statement about their overall level of appeal.

It was both epic fail song and epic fail appeal. No one in America likes girly guys. Also, SNSD will most likely fail because in America we like girls with attitude (Beyonce, Kelly Clarkson, etc.) vs. the aegyo girls Koreans love.

Yeah Americans aren't very big on the cute things. I mean, cute men are "cute" in the way little boys are "cute". Same with girls.

Being cute sets them back three steps on the emancipation ladder.

This and them not speaking English (apart from the obvious members) and smiling to everything will make them look somewhere in between dumb and unprogressive in the eyes of the western spectator.
Always smile~

To me, there's like three different types of female entertainers in America...there's the attitude ones and I suppose Beyonce fits under this. Then there's the crazy and outstanding such as Lady Gaga..which remind me of 2NE1, then there's the neutral who I think Taylor Swift fits under. I can't really see any female group doing attitude (maybe Miss A or KARA?), I think the most realistic chance of anybody surviving in the Western scene would involve them being themselves, minus the cute concepts and don't try to be badasses with attitude.

Just make a silent bang into the Western music industry like Swift!

I seriously doubt SNSD is going to use their cute image to break into America, nobody at SM is stupid enough to let them do so.

I honestly think only out of all the current idol groups, only BIGBANG ( heavy western influenced music) and 2NE! ( no cutesy and heavy Will I Am Hype) can break into the mainstream us/western market.

Perhaps even DBSK but please don't start with groups like shinee, teen top or infinite...

Kpop wil probably stay a niche product with little things like SmTown, CubeUnited or an eventual YG Fam Concert few times a year but it will be difficult for GG and WG to establish themselfes.

The Kpop fanbase has grown significantly the last 2-3 years though.

I don't think it's supposed to get American to fall in love with SNSD. It's more of a... hey... we're SNSD... now you've heard of us kind of thing.

kpop guy groups would have an even harder time than girls. Girly guys is harder to sell in the U.S. than cute girls who can at least do sexy as well.
