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.

Yes it is. Go back a page and watch the performances I posted. Not many others can compete with that. Also please capitalize KARA as such, they deserve more than common small letters.
Dat feeling when both your biases ranked and tied for 2nd. AWWW YEAH.
Craton speaks the truth though about Taeyeon, it's okay, she's surrounded by 7 other qt's, and other singers can't compete with dat. As far as Hyorin goes, she has the potential for best singing, but not enough Sistar songs that exhibits her strength, only performance I can think of that shows her strength is the Immortal Song one.

Davichi, SeeYa, Eunji, Hyorin, Soya, IU, Younha, and one of the WG chicks are all better. Jieun and Raina are probably about even.
Craton showing that he is a man of reason.
This roommate talk is getting really annoying though. Its one alias just pretend its one person, might as well be right?

I don't think Taeyeon really gets to show her chops in a lot of SNSD songs, she had some really good bits in the TTS album though. And her OSTs are always great.
I like Tiffany's style of singing (bias showing, obviously), but I realize it's a style and not really representative of overall singing prowess.
pff, performing a vocal version mister in these outfits .... such a waste.
plus
tuelite biggest hypocrit in this thread. posting that he wouldnt care about kara if it wasnt for nicole and still trying to whiteknight the shit out of their singing skills.

7. What. Oh goody, I'm not alone in WG hate.
You think anyone's counting Hyo?
Kuja, catching on real quick.
Yea, more WG bashing!
Been listening to OC's new album. Not a huge fan of it, only a few songs I liked on it. The solo's were surprisingly good though (more groups should do this, a solo song for each person) (at least for those who can sing).

I like Fany's style in that, but she doesn't really do it anymore. A little raspy and more soulful compared to the others. However, her english cali girl accent is like nails on a chalkboard to me. Side note: Seohyun is especially robotic in the video.

I think this sounded pretty good. I have never cared for Jessica's voice but she is a good singer either way.
On a side note, I just realized how stupid the sorry sorry lyrics are. Just wow.

CL is like perfect with an awful accent, Bom is decent because I do believe she lived here for a while. Minzy is really bad and Dara never talks, Of course I could be wrong, but from the interviews I've seen.
cl tries to be 'bad', so her English feels more like ebonics than anything else. I also think socal accents sound vapid and ditzy.

both are mediocre. kara is shit at singing; worst out of the big 5 I think. singing is not kpop's forte - look to ballad singers if you want real vocalists.
So SNSD had that fansign+concert for one of their endorsements a couple weeks ago, and there was a big talk portion that was a lot of fun. Onion was a doll and subbed a fancam of it, so I figured you guys might like it. It's worth the watch. The MC was really funny and there were a lot of cute moments with SNSD.
I keep going back to those Younha albums I was recommended because I really want to like her. She can sing, but it just sounds bland to me. I think the mock-rock is what is putting me off.
Haeri's voice can be a bit overwhelming. It's nice when she tones it down for some quieter tracks.
