Hey guys. I'm looking for the name of a song/artist. I *think* I saw it on one of the music shows about two months ago... two dudes in suits, hip hop verses and the chorus goes something like "If this is love" or "If this ain't love" in a high pitch, and then possibly "I'm nothing without you" afterwards.

I heard it today and I really want to listen again.

EDIT: Pagetop. I was listening to this song as I flew into Incheon for the first time. I love it.

Day 2: http://www.teamliquid.net/forum/viewmessage.php?topic_id=98009&currentpage=1813#36257

Earlier during Day 2, I claimed that the Honey era was Nicole's claim to fame in which she improved a lot. Mister era just secured her place on the throne where she enjoyed years of prosperity over her kingdom of awesomeness. That's the best way I found to describe it.

Here comes the pictures.

Performance pictures pt.1

pt. 2
+ Show Spoiler +

I have this picture as my phone's lock screen. I can't explain why. I only have like 2 pictures in which Nicole seems sad or worried, this one and one in which she's crying during her university show. I Can't explain why but I feel drawn to this picture, enough to put it in on my lock screen, weird isn't it?

Mister GIFs
+ Show Spoiler +

My lack of GIFs is disturbing... I hope someone will help me fix that

Pictures from her university show in which she studied veterinary science for a month or two. That show was really good and is important to me. At the time I watched it, I was heavily depressed having failed in business ventures, not doing too well in school, not knowing what to do, lonely, etc. And her show helped me put things in perspective. Seeing how hard she works in her daily life (Mister promotions at the time, + Variety shows appearances, + training, + not being able to eat + studying for university) and yet every time she's on stage or on camera she's always smiling and she still finds time to make friends and stuff. I don't know, it just inspired me to work harder and put things in perspective. Enough rambling here comes the pictures.

On campus

She was making a cute poster to put up at her school asking for a tutor.

I think that was when she was telling her new friends how lonely she first was when she first moved to Korea.

Nevermind, this is the one she talks about her move to Korea.

In class while the professor was doing a lecture on anatomy and penises lol.

Show nested quote +

Because making a top 10 is like the hardest thing ever I'll just throw 10 songs I've listened to a lot in any non-specific order.
+ Show Spoiler +

[*] Mighty Mouth (ft Lee Joo Bin) - Tok Tok (톡톡)
[*] Shinee - Noona you're so pretty (누난 너무 예뻐)
[*] Secret - My Boy
[*] Heo Yeong Saeng - Let it go
[*] NS Yoon Ji - 또 보고싶어
[*] Sunny Hill - Pray
[*] G.NA - Black and White
[*] Bang Yong Gook - I remember
[*] IU - I need a boy (This resulted in really weird scenarios of me singing along...

)
[*] f(x) - Nu Abo

I tried to keep it varied

Also OMG at that IU sketchbook video... I'm so in love LOL how can anyone not be :'(

Agreed! "KPOP" has such diverse styles nowadays, you can't really gravitate to one "concept" w/o liking another. I.E. you'd be hard pressed to find a more mainstream song nowadays that doesn't have a verse or two of rap EVEN when it obviously doesn't fit in the song. So lo and behold...

Random 10 songs good enough to be in my Top10
[*]SNSD - Chocolate Love[*]
Ironically, this is a song advert for a phone, but I feel it's one of my favorite Soshi songs of all time.

[*]Lee Hyori feat Daesung - How Did We Get[*]
Can't beat this. Listening to this makes me miss Family Outing so much.

[*]T-ara & Supernova - TTL[*]
Arguably one of the best songs of the kpop Golden Age aka 08-09, IMO.

[*]Bear TaeWoo/Rain/JYP - Brothers and Me[*]
One of my all time favorites. Watch the MV as well for some no-homo love.

[*]Brown Eyed Girls - Abracadabra[*]
Not because of the arrogant pelvic dance, but because it has one of the catchiest beats ever. Had this playing in my car on the way to the class some years ago w/ some friends who aren't familiar w/ the Korean Scene, and they agreed this type of sound can be universally appreciated regardless of lyrics.

[*]IU - Say You Love Me (Cover)[*]
Her "singing" English is commendable. Definitely some good, easy listening.

[*]MC Mong feat. Seo In Young - Bubble Love[*]
I miss MC Mong and his comedic raps/songs T_T Korea is too rough on their celebrities. <3 Seo In Young

[*]JeA feat. G.O. (MBLAQ) - Because You Sting[*]
The first time I really appreciated JeA for her vocal prowess, not just plain charisma from Sign and Abra. I actually saw this live and she's fantastic. G.O. not so much though haha. Top 5 vocals for me.

[*]GD&TOP - Knockout (뻑이가요)[*]
Talk about last song syndrome. This did it for me for the beginning of this year. 뻑 뻑 뻑 뻑 뻑 이가요! (3:15 for my favorite part)

Lastly
[*]Taeyeon - 사랑해요[*]
Nothing really needs to be said here. From the OST queen herself. Shit can put me to sleep anyday. Sing to me taengoo...

Not sure if this should be spoilered, but I feel if we're gonna share ... might as well make it pointblank. This isn't my concrete top10, but it's all quality in my ears. I'm sure other people feel the same way about their hierarchy.

Honorable Mentions go to: Step, Roly Poly, and Hello Hello for making this year at least entertaining. Still currently enjoying the fuck out of The Boys (album AND song).

From the award show today.
Apparently it's not SNSD that brings the boys out but IU, the guys medley was quite interesting to watch but can't find any links right now. Quite worrisome that IU almost got dragged off the stage while walking in, when will they learn.

As usual I managed to include Sica pictures, got to maintain that soshi ratio.

Just saw that BigBang is departing for belfast and Daesung is there as well :D

I know ppl here are more into the Girlgroups but if you have some sparetime, vote for BB pls^^ you can vote up to 100x each day. Although I love SNSD, Davichi Iu etc, as well. BIGBANG will always be no1 for me because Taeyang's wedding dress basically introduced me to kpop and Im a huge fanboy of them^^.

PS: in that IU gif I thought one of the guys in the front row was Kang Gary^^ but I could easily imagine myself standing there haha.

Ya, it's been posted a bit before SNSD's comeback, but it's been a while. Suju knows how to entertain and Tiffany certainly knows how to be sexyyyy,

You can bet how I posted this considering how hot Tiffany was in this one !

but You're right ever since Strong Heart I really like the suju variety guys but have never really enjoyed their music too much, don't know why. Just doesnt appeal to me compared to BigBang or JYJ/TVXQ
I guess I don't really like the 13 guys ( are they still 13?) bandmember concept. SNSD is of course an exception for mass member bands haha^^

I think Victoria isn't as adorable now because she lost a tad bit too much weight, but I guess that's just the side effect of being a very talented dancer. Then again, she went to dancing school at a young age so obviously other factors are in play. Point is... she looks very cute in that picture haha sorry I ramble.
