YAY!! i'm so glad that TVXQ is so performing on a regional platform!! it seems like the EVE CONCERT PERFORMERS are all the newcomers. yupyup, i think that's why Jocie Guo Mei Mei was chosen for Singapore though i still dun really like the thought of that. well, i mean singapore has lots of better singers and Jocie Guo isn't exactly THE best representative. but i guess they wanted a new singer. Why derrick never debut earlier?? if not, he could have been chosen to go looking at his present popularity. =]

haha, when i saw Fahrenheit as the representative for Taiwan, i was like O.o
i mean, if they were gg there for a modeling show den maybe ya, they're suitable but this is a SINGING concert. u have to go there to SING. oh my, pls dun throw face with their super out of pitch singing leh. and to lip-synch at such an event is totally NO FACE. and it's like even the newcomer Yoga Lin will be able to sing better than them who are supposed to be in for the MAIN concert. ahh~~ throw face X5!!

i'm quite ok with the rest i guess. Karen Mok is HOT and GOOD! haha. Anson hu, Yoga Lin, Berryz Kobo and w-inds are not bad too and good singers as well. i dun really noe the rest of the performers but i suppose they should be ok?!

you can really see the dominance of SMe in this concert. i mean, all performers for S. Korea are frm SMe??!! there should be better female grps that can better rep S. Korea?? like wondergirls, CSJH(oops, they're frm SMe too), Davichi... or even solo singers like younha, leehyori...
haiz, why?

i was reading some blog posts and they were asking why SUJU wasn;t included in the list of performers. well, i was thinking maybe cuz they will be busy with their concert tour. besides, in my personal opinion, i feel that in terms of talent, SHINee is more packed with it as compared to SUJU. (no offence to all ELFs out there.) Ooops. BUT! SUJU is still cute and entertaining bursting with GREAT and absolutely FUNNY personalities. =]

as much as i'm proud of the SHINee boys to be able to achieve such accomplishments in such a short time, i still wonder why groups like BIG BANG isn't included. THEY'RE GOOD! and in my opinion, more deserving. but i guess, its a fight among the companies and apparently LSM won. haiz, congrats to Yoga Lin too. he's really new in this industry and have came a long way to where he is now. i do admit that this guy can sing, but some of the songs he sings dun appeal to me. nevertheless, he's a strong singer and strong singers should be supported and recognized for their talents!=]

acty, when i saw this Asia Song Festival, i knew immediately for sure that DBSK would be in it. =] haha. make way for the GODS OF THE RISING EAST!! argh!! i think this concert will be worth watching! to be able to see al your idols in one place! haiz, poor me shall wait for the pics and vids to come out after the performance b4 i can watch their performance. =[

P.S: haha, hope my biasness wasn't TOO obvious. LOL.
P.P.S: i put the music at the side on auto play! good music should be shared!! haha, you can press pause la, NOT TO WORRY. lol.
