C-Quint’s new MV

C-Quint has a new MV. I saw it while I was watching Music Battle today. I didn’t really pay too much attention to it… I just noticed a few things: they’re going for a ‘cute and adorable’ look for this MV, the song isn’t too terrible, their singing seems to have improved, and why the heck are they so popular?! I will never understand it… but their singing HAS improved! So yay

The song is called รักแล้วรักอีก (Ruk Laew Ruk Eek / Love and Love Again)

Finally back…

It’s been forever!! I went to stay at another aunt’s house for the last 2 weeks I was in Thailand, so I didn’t have internet, or cable, or hot water, for that matter. And that was a shame, because that was pretty much when all the good stuff was happening! -_-

So I just got back last night, and… let’s see. I still have to listen to SHINee’s new album, and FT Island’s.

So what else has happened? In list form because there’s a lot! XD

1. Ice released a new song, called I See U… and it’s really cute! And there’s a Japanese rap that Ice wrote himself, and it’s a fun dancy song that’s very much in Ice’s style. To me the song sounds pretty Japanese, but then I’m not that familiar with Jpop, so iono. The MV should be out sometime this month, and the nang ek is Peak, and when I heard that I was just like FUDGE MY LIFE! Why does it have to be the only only only girl I don’t like?! UGH I CAN’T STAND HER FACE! And her trying to be cute! Ugh. But it’s Ice, sooo whatevs. Listen to I See U here!

2. ToR+ released a new song, called มั้ง? (Munk?), and IT’S SUPER SUPER SUPER CUTE!!!! And ToR+ rocks! Watch the MV! My only problem with this MV is that I WISH HE WOULD JUST GET A DAMN PIANO BENCH ALREADY!! He looks so awkward playing the piano like that! XP Watch it here.

3. B.O.Y has a new MV! It’s for their latest single, Ter Narak, which I think is a really cute song except for the really cheesy English. Tengneung is cuuuuuuuuuuute! This MV is footage of them and their fans. Watch it here.

4. C-Quint has a new MV. Iono why I bother with this, because they really can’t sing, and I really hate that. -_- Watch it here.

5. SHINee has a new MV! It’s for Love Like Oxygen. How I could save this for after C-Quint, I don’t even know. Watch it! Love it! Love SHINee! I really wish Minho wouldn’t look at the camera like that, though. If he keeps doing that, I’m gonna get carted off to jail for sure. *flail*

6. This isn’t a new song or MV or anything.. but 2 of my most favorite groups together yay! It needs to be seen! All I could think while watching this was AWWWWWWWWWWWWW *brain explodes from all the cuteness* SHINee + SJ-H performing Miracle (CAN YOU SAY AWWWWWWW?) on Mnet M!Countdown on the 4th (today!) Look at Minho + Teukie!!!!!!! AWWWWWWWWWWW!

7. I saved the best for last, really! Peck Aof Ice’s We R One concert VCD FINALLY FUDGING CAME OUT!!! Not too long before I left. So of course I ran out and bought it and watched it immediately. WAH I LOVED IT SOOOOOOOOOOOO MUCH! I want to post Peck’s Gun Lae Gun! If no one uploads it, I’ll do it my freakin’ self. I might also want to upload the part where Ice cries. AWWWWWWWW poor Ice, being sick and fresh out of the hospital and everything. But he gives his all every time. SU SU! But for now, here’s Ice’s Kon Jai Ngai with Chompoo Araya.

C-Quint again + some AF5

So I just saw the MV last night for C-Quint’s second song. The slower song, which I said was a lot better than the first song, which I really, really hate. This song is called หน้าไม่อาย, Nar Mai Ai. Err.. sorry, I’m sure my romanization is fail. And I really, really like the MV version, because Pitt plays the piano. And I’m such a sucker for people who play the piano. So I offically really like him XP. I really like this song. They still don’t sing that well, but it’s certainly better than the first song.

I finally realized what’s off about their dance moves. They aren’t really all that difficult. The MV is cut and edited to make them look a bit more complicated, but they aren’t. They’re like Bie status. And some dance moves in this MV are vaguely reminiscent of Bie, too (not that I’m accusing them of stealing or anything!). And not that I have anything against Bie… it’s just… RS has big dreams for C-Quint, like DBSK dreams (the harmonizing + the dancing = so DBSK), and C-Quint is just not there. They need a lot more training, for sure.

On another note, AF5 this week is pretty interesting. Last Saturday was the vote back that everyone’s been expecting, and Micky had her doll thing that gave her immunity. Before the bottom 3 was announced, she had the choice of using the doll and getting immunity (even if she didn’t get the lowest vote), or not using the doll and having all of the previously eliminated people (of the 12 finalists) come back. But if she chose the second option, if she got the lowest vote she would go home. It was sad for Micky (and this is saying a lot for me, because I dislike Micky and her whole “mom votes a gajillion baht a week” thing) because she had said all week she was going to use the doll (so her fan club/mom wouldn’t vote) so that no one would have to be eliminated this week. So, since Micky had been telling everyone she was going to use the doll, she used it, and she was sad. And she did have the lowest vote, and she was happy about that. But what about the eliminated people who were supposed to come back?? They decided to bring them back anyway. So all’s well that ends well. Kind of. I think Micky was dumb to think that she would go home anyway if she didn’t use the doll. Of course True would let her stay if she was so nice and generous to let all those people come back! How stupid is she? But yeah… anyway…

Of the vote back people, only one can stay after this week. And 1 person from the regular group will be eliminated, too. This makes me think of week 1 and 2. I hated week 1 and 2, of course, since in week 2 Beer and Benz went home. I want Wan to stay. Currently Nat is leading, but Wan is getting closer everyday. Nim is in third place. I want Wan to stay, because I firmly believe he is the most talented person who was in the house this year. And so he’s most deserving of another chance. Nat had 44% vote on like Monday or something -_-. I was just like… WOW. He’s down a lot now, but still leading by quite a bit. I hope Ron doesn’t go home this week! It’d be such a shame if Nat or Wan got to to stay (and it’ll probably be them) but Ron had to leave. Again with only 1 Sao in the house. Reunited and then broken up AGAIN! Poor Beer, though.

C-Quint…

So RS debuted a new boy band last week. RS is one of two major record labels in Thailand; the other one is GMM GRAMMY. RS is the smaller of the two. I have to say, I’m kind of a GMM GRAMMY fangirl. My future husband Ice is on there, so that’s where my heart lies. And I think they just generally have better performers, promotion, and concepts. I always feel kind of bad for RS, because GMM GRAMMY controls something like 70% of the market. And RS lost major money last year. So I really want to like RS people! But I just don’t. They feel overproduced, oversexed, and just generally untalented. Right now, the only people I like from RS are Siska. I really can’t wait for them to come out with an album!

But anyway, that up there is RS’s new boy band, C-Quint. I really really wanted to like them. A Thai boy band that can dance would be wonderful. They’re pretty rare. I know K-OTIC can dance. I don’t know too much about Nice 2 Meet U… I just like one of their songs. I have to say that I love brand-spankin’-new B.O.Y, but they aren’t really dancers. Thai singers generally don’t dance too great. Golf-Mike would probably be the best… but I’m not a huge fan of theirs.

Like I said, I really wanted to like them. But I have a lot of problems with C-Quint. I listened to their single and then watched their MV (and had to deal with the horror that is YOUDUMV), and the conclusion I came to is that they suck.

1. This is kind of petty, but wtf kind of a name is C-Quint? Is it supposed to be like SQUINT?

2. And this is really shallow, but they’re not really cute. I think Bank and Best are pretty cute, but other than that… no. Boy band members should definitely be easy on the eyes!

3. They want to be DBSK. So badly. And it’s just kind of sad, because they really really aren’t at that level. In any way – singing, dancing, personality. So they really should just stop with that.

4. The girl in the MV is terrible. She’s kinda cute… at some angles. But mostly she just looks really stupid. Also the MV in general is really stupid.

5. The song just sucks. Hard. It’s awful! Whoever wrote this song should just be shot. Lyrics aren’t that important for a boy band like this, so just give it a good beat! But they couldn’t even manage that. The song sounds like junk… like noise that a five-year-old mashed together. Just really poorly edited and produced. There is soooo much mixing/editing going on. Can I just hear their voices without a bunch of crap over it? It was far too overproduced. But this segues perfectly into my next point.

6. They can’t fudging sing. Like at all. I think maybe two of them can sing passably, and the rest are just terrible. The editing in a studio version of a song should be good enough that I can’t really tell you can’t sing. I should only realize you can’t sing when you try to do it live. But even though there is so much noise crap going on in this song, I can still hear how bad they are. The bad ones are so bad that just watching the MV makes me cringe, and makes my ears want to jump off and run away in horror.

7. They’re supposed to be able to dance really well. But they’re… okay. Well, they’re pretty good by Thai standards. But I thought they were supposed to be better than that… they want to be DBSK, so they should dance a lot better than they currently do. I think SHINee can dance better than them. Hell, I think Bie (on a good day) can dance better than them.

This was a really mean review… I didn’t realize I disliked them this much! But I think they’re really, really bad. Like… even for RS. They’ve got some pretty talentless people in RS, like, say, Girly Berry, but C-Quint might actually be worse than Girly Berry. Actually, no, I don’t think you can get worse than Girly Berry. At least a couple of the people in C-Quint are cute. I want them to improve! I really want to like them!
