Sorry for not updating this blog for a while. I've been quite busy with....everything actually.
So anyways, lately I've announced that I am coming back to kpop. Yes that is a fact. HOWEVER! It does not mean that I will be constantly uploading kpop videos and nothing else. I thought my brief explanation of why I temporarily left kpop on my Bo Beep collaboration instruction video was good enough...apparently not.
Yesterday I did a cover of Lee Hom's new song. And the response that I got on Facebook and Twitter was.....just.....UUUUGH!!! People asked me they said that they thought I was back in kpop, then why am I doing cpop again.
I'm going to be very VERY honest with you guys and gals here. These are my thoughts on kpop.
1. It's a cultural type of music so therefore it is a category of a type of music itself, which means it gets boring (for me personally of course) when it's being played too frequently
2. I like kpop music NOT because of how good looking the artists are but just because the songs sound really nice.
3. There is only one Korean guy that's on my top 10 list of my most admirable and influential musicians and that is Yiruma (who isn't REALLY kpop to be honest)
4. I admire artists who can perform (at least nearly as good if not better than their CD version without the help of computers and digital gizmos), write their own lyrics, compose their own melodies and background, multi-diversely-talented, and are able to pick out or add the slightest detail in a song, and let just be fairly honest....the hit kpop artists nowadays just doesn't have that....everyone just seems too concerned about looks, fashion and how can they maximize their profits. Other than that most of the songs that they sing are canned music. With that said however, kudos and a great job to the people who work as composers and lyric writers for kpop record companies.
5.I REALLY don't like all this drama thing going on with record companies like JYP, SM, etc etc. I personally think it's just immature, stupid, irresponsible, and pure nosiness. Plus it has absolutely nothing to do with the music. Jay Park's a developing musician, not a clown or a prostitute....plus ever heard that you can't be racist to yourself? Pricks....
So with all that, throughout the entire time that I stopped doing kpop. In the end I've chosen that I want to be more musically opened. I don't want to wake up one morning and having to see the ugly loser in the mirror and having to stare at him in the eye and see a conforming clown, always doing what other people want me to do just so that I can get them to like me. Again, I'm a human, not your MP3 player or your personal composer/arranger/DJ. I want to be an individual, I want to stick out of the crowd as much as my music is concerned. I want my music to be something that's not like a song that you would usually hear today in the 21st century. If I kept on going down ALWAYS doing Korean music, then I would feel pretty disgusting inside. It would physically make me very uncomfortable on the inside.
Now do you people know why I don't constantly post kpop? Because there IS a reason why I post Chinese, English, Japanese, Italian, etc. songs. There is also a reason for why I started a 2nd channel for my original compositions as well as personal videos. I DON'T, I repeat, I DO NOT want people to know me just as a kpop artist. I just want to be a good all-round musician. I'm not going to cover a song because the guys/girls in there are hot, nor will I cover a song because you think me posting cpop songs are meaningless. That's that, I will not be endlessly posting kpop songs on my channel. (DUE TO THE REASON STATED ABOVE FROM THE BEGINNING OF THIS POST. IF YOU DON'T GET IT, READ AGAIN PLEASE UNTIL YOU UNDERSTAND) If you have a problem with me posting anything non-kpop then please UNSUBSCRIBE to me now because I don't want to have you being disappointed with me and as well I don't want to be guilty of disappointing you and have to know that my work is not being appreciated just because you dislike the song because it's of a certain language or the artist because they look ugly to you.
