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.

I actually agree with PokeSomeSmot. I'm typically a kpop antifan, but you gotta give credit where it's due.
Uh, it's nowhere close. She drops off on all the end notes, she adds sexy inflections on the notes rather than gothic/ethereal, and just generally does not understand the song very well. It doesn't matter how long she can hold the notes when she's singing them without the right conviction. She's singing it like it's a love ballad, when it's a gothic rock song. And she adds some ridiculous reinterpretations, like hitting that pouty note at 1:41. I can't even explain 3:00 other than it was just fucking painful. I have no clue where she was going with that, it was like a drunken imitation of Christina Aguilera at an American Idol audition.
Sorry, but anyone who thinks this cover is better than Evanescence's performance has a very odd notion of what's good singing. I know covers have creative license to reinterpret and change the atmosphere of a song, but this was more like an instrumental carbon copy with confused vocals.
I can get behind this. As for Jumping, I don't know if i'ts true or not, but it really sounds like it was written in Japanese and then in Korean, so the Japanese version fits better, although that may just be because it's the one I heard first.

You've got a strange notion of what anger entails.
Regardless of why she's dropping the notes, it adds up to making it a bad cover.

Uhhh, can't you see? Mr. StorkHwaiting has already condescended to explain this matter to us despite its triviality in the light of his great intellect. Mr. ilikestarcraft, you cannot expect a man of Mr. StorkHwaiting's rank to spend any more time condescending to mere commoners such as us. I do believe that you have the most strange notions of what greatness entails.
