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.

Same here, they sort of went under my radar until they released: + Show Spoiler +
However I've been lazy enough not look more into their music after that point. So I would really appreciate if someone could advise any other good releases from BEG with the similar style and feeling to the song as the one I mentioned.
Oddly enough, I do like their older stuff, but like Vorgrim said, Sound G is by far my favorite album from BEG. It's so unique, and I really love the RnB, and I also love Sixth Sense some of the Jazz instrumentals in it are just superb, something kpop needs to explore more.
Also, someone suggest a song to listen too. AS Red's In the Night Sky still stuck in my head... Brave Sound so good at producing super catchy songs.

not voting on what i dont know but im gonna start this trend
No need, Psy wins every category he's eligible for, TTS wins most of theirs, just out of popularity. I want Hello Venus to win (I think they have a good shot), probably BB or SuJu for male group imo.

Pretty much the ones I didn't bold, are those that I didn't know enough info on, or didn't care to answer, or are too close for me to try and decide.
I tried to be objective as possible, I didn't just vote for what I thought was the best, I voted for what I thought were most "successful"

Busker and Ailee were far more successful than any other rookie this year

Sistar's been working super hard this year. Alone + Loving U, pretty much back to back. There really wasn't any solid competitors in the category; so pretty much easy win for Sistar (but they totally deserve a win though).
I dunno, Exo-K really really impressed me. History + Mama, were so fucking good, I couldn't discount them. As far as Ailee goes, I don't think she's as good as everyone thinks. As far as I gathered I think Hello Venus garners more hype than Ailee, just by way of kpop group > one person.
Best Solo artist was hard for me to choose. G.Na vs Gain was tough decision, but as far as what was released I really liked all of what Ga In's done this year, while I only liked like 90% of what G.na's done this year. I still feel IU super overrated (Don't shoot me plox).
Girl groups pretty bad this year, TTS wrecked them all. Not even half a thought has to be made. Loving U can only carry you so far and even then both Baby Steps and Library are better.
Most other categories are actually pretty tough though. I forget how Mama works but I doubt the voting means much anyway. I remember 2NE1 won album of the year there last year (while Fiction was stuck with best dance), complete joke.
EXID a country mile ahead of TTS if it's not a popularity/industry suck up contest. Which it is so it doesn't matter, at all.
While we are on the subject of BEG, and more specifically Sound G, I hadn't heard the remixes of older tracks from the physical album's second cd until today and they are pretty cool. Some of the beats could be nostalgia inducing if you are an 80s kid. Were for me at least.

Indeed. well said.
On other news the voice winner girl released her first mini album
Say this every time but award shows don't mean shit, it's just one huge popularity contest. Can already basically know which groups are gonna win at this point.

Yeah, but it's still interesting! Meh, not a fan of EXID, but I definitely understand the appeal.

Yeah but they can make artists happy, thats why I'm mad salty Gangnam Style stole all of Catch Me's awards. But for the most part no one should care about them.
