[Eng Sub] Weekly Idol (not by me!)

Still subbing the Radio show, believe me, it's worth the wait, so pardon me for just dumping another Subbed Video.


This is subbed by YouTuber stupidgerxp, click through to the channel for the other parts.

Also, if you haven't already realized, there are 2 request pages - one new and the other, old - and only the newer one has Disqus commenting enabled, so please use the newer one if you want your requests to reach my email inbox directly. (The old one will still be around while I go through the requests.)

While I'm Subbing

Remember the Crown Princess Project that featured artists including iu, beg, apink, missa, girl's day and not forgetting BoRam and SoYeon from T-ara?

Here you go. (if you don't find the show nice, just watch the last part)

Other Recommendations

While I'm definitely a QUEEN'S, I do enjoy songs by other artists too.

In the comments section of almost every snsd YouTube video, you can see a huge fan war being waged. I once saw a commenter, even after claiming that he or she is a sone, being attacked after saying that the performance is "not perfect". I suppose that's one disadvantage of being too popular - you attract really really crazy fans, and it just takes a single one to ruin the image of the whole.

I'm proud to say that us queen's seldom concern ourselves with such wars; we're a peace loving bunch! However, in the event that we are involved in fan wars, it certainly helps for us to know songs beyond T-ara's. (so we can give a balanced argument)

And here's one that I really really like; and it's still T-ara related (if you're a queen's you should know)

Request Away~

Finally, I've decided to make a proper [Request] page; here's a brief reason why:

your expression when someone is willing to provide subs

Every time I get a request, I'll copy the URL/ video title into a notepad, which will be saved in my TimeToT-ara folder (along with everything TimeToT-ara related).

Requests!


[How to Request]
- Request videos to be subbed by commenting below. (one video/ series per comment)
- If you see a video you want subbed already requested, like the comment for the video instead.

[How I choose what to Sub]
1. popularity, as indicated by likes on comment
2. effort needed, which includes:
    - length of video (more importantly, length of T-ara screen time)
    - type of video (freestyle varieties like Pretty Boys are harder to sub compared to standard talk shows)
    - also, it'll definitely be easier for me if the following resources are provided with the requests:
        - link to the video (HD)
        - link to Chinese subbed version of the video (fyi, I translate from Chinese subs)
3. how much I like the video (you can try swaying my views by providing your views along with the request)

Wasted Effort...

Spent my day trying to make a HowTo infographic on joining T-ara's Daum Fan Cafe.

Different Voices of SoYeon

Almost all groups have a member designated as the Main Vocal; but while the main vocals in other idol groups are usually in charge of the sustained high notes towards the climax of the song, SoYeon almost never does that.

SoYeon's real forte when it comes to singing is her phenomenal vocal control.
Let's start with the first example:


"SoYeon is more about blending in then standing out; rather then purely standing out" -- TimeToT-ara
