[[12.03.16] Quick News - Jiyeon to release solo OST "Day by Day" for "Dream High 2"]

Awesome! Best news I've heard all week. Can't wait to hear the full track.

[[12.03.13] T-ara finally receives their long deserved vacation]

2nd post in this topic.

they finally managed to get a few days off and kks drops a bombshell. so much for getting some rest. talk about being treated like puppets. i hope they turned off their cellphones, internet and whatever communicative devices during this period.

[[12.03.15] T-ara to become 7~9 members, including replacing members]

It is only mid March in 2012. T-ara members have/had been busy with..

- lovey dovey promotions

- went to paris for music bank

- roly poly the musical

- flying to and fro from japan

- not to forget their usual dance rehearsals, acting commitments and whatnot.

yup they are the laziest group ever. [/sarcasm]

i'm surprised he is trumpeting his "30 years of experience", for someone with that much experience, one would think he would know how to manage his "assets" better and stop making stupid mistakes. his man management and time management skills are sorely lacking. have you ever stop to think that their stress level might be caused by your erratic decision making and constant tinkering??

not to take anything from snsd but part of their success is due to them being in a huge company and the fact that all members remain unchanged since debut hence they have a stable fanbase.

hopefully he is just trolling with us. :/

[[12.03.14] T-ara to announce possible major change in member line-up on April 7th]

... this better be a joke or a publicity stunt.

adding a new member to the 7 = more dance rehearsals, change of dance/singing line up to accomodate her.

removing a current member = unthinkable. >:/

unless he means splitting into them sub-units? this will be a dreadful idea as they are having their solo concert/2 albums/official fan club soon.

no matter how i look at it, it looks more like a downgrade than an upgrade. :/ is he trying to do an after school? most fans of AS - including me don't even like the entry/leaving concept. *sigh*

hey kks, do you want more money in your bank account? why don't you take a leaf out of sm's snsd. they stuck with the original 9 members since debut. kthanksbye!

[[12.03.13] T-ara finally receives their long deserved vacation]

Well that's a really short one but I suppose it is better than nothing.

Isn't DH2 supposed to end next week? Why are they still filming? :/ Gah, I hope Jiyeon gets her break soon.

[[SPAZZ] I just thought]

not sure who is who but in good person. one of them sounds like one of the girls from davichi. her voice is really good.

edit: was referring to jiae.

[[SPAZZ/POLL] Do you think T-ara is going down the "wrong path"?]

Nope. Their versatility is their strength. Plus music-wise, if you take a look at their discography, they have quite a number of different styled good songs (other than the ones they promoted).

[[SPAZZ] Who do you think will go solo first?]

Eunjung perhaps? She has the whole package (strong vocals + rap + she dances well) and a sizable fanbase.

[[SPAZZ/POLL] Who's gonna be best and worst mom in hello baby]

Best mother material: Soyeon. She was so caring and playful with them. Plus when Mavin soiled his diapler, all the members "threw" the cleaning duty to her. lol.

Worst: umm Eunjung or Boram? EJ seemed fierce but she barely filmed much so i voted for Boram. Boram looked lost and helpless around the boys, most of the time. But the part where she took Mason out to get groceries was super cute.

[02. Goodbye, OK]

been loving this song lately. it has been on repeat since yesterday.

thanks for the translations & for differentiating the member's parts.

[[POLL] T-ara Survey ( part 1)]

My bias: Jiyeon

Multi-talented: Eunjung (the quadruple threat)

Funniest: toss up between Hyomin & Soyeon. Voted for Hyomin as she is sillier.

[[POLL] Who looks the laziest?]

Don't think that any of them are lazy as per say. They are known to be way overworked as it is.

But among the 7 of them it could be Boram perhaps? Her bed and bedroom was the messiest. But her health isn't that great so maybe that's why.

[[POLL] Most good looking member in boyish look]

Hwayoung. She looks like a cute boy in the selcas they shared. i had to do a double take.

[[SPAZZ] What do you think of 'Wanna Play?'?]

i liked it... it shows their versatility. Plus EJ & HM's rapping rarely disappoints me.

I always thought the lyrics was "hungry for you" until i checked the lyrics database haha.

[[SPAZZ] Which song would you like T-ara to cover?]

i know both songs are already covered in DH2 but I would definitely love to hear/see them cover ballads i.e:

Clazziquai - Romeo N Juliet (There is a rap part in the original.) - Okay this is not exactly a ballad.

2AM - This Song

I was also going to say any song by the Spice Girls but they already did "Wannabe".

[[POLL] Most underrated member?]

No, underrated is someone who should deserve more credit than what she is receiving now.

I know. My statement wasn't a question. I just took it to mean not as famous = not as recognised (= your definition of not enough credit.) and based it on that.

Edited my original post to make things clearer.

[[POLL] If you have the power to change the leader, who will you choose?]

If the rotation system is kept, I hope the leaders will be between any one of them: Soyeon, Eunjung and Hyomin.

I prefer Soyeon. Regarding... Eunjung and Hyomin: Was watching past videos on youtube, both displayed good leadership qualities but they aren't always around so I hope Soyeon will be the permanent leader if they ever scrap the rotation system.

[[POLL] Most underrated member?]

Underrated = Not as famous as the others? (EDIT: Not a question. I just took the definition of underrate to be evaluate too lowly = not recognised/famous enough as they are in the entertainment industry.)

If so, then my choices will be Soyeon, Qri and Boram.

Soyeon: She isn't as famous as (Eunjung, Jiyeon or Hyomin) even though she is the current leader and the main vocal. Then again, that is probably because the 3, acts and participates more in other shows compared to her. I would like to see more of her - she has the variety skills (case point: just watch T-ara's shows.)

Qri: She is just overshadowed everytime. Even in T-ara shows, she is not as visible as the rest as she is so quiet and shy.

Boram: She can sing but because of her health she doesn't have that many singing parts - youtube video of Boram's singing parts in T-ara = just 3:34. Visibility-wise she is the same as Qri. I don't think she is shy but she is just too quiet?

Wow. this is my longest post in this forum.

Visibility ranking:

Eunjung/Jiyeon

Hyomin

Soyeon

Qri/Boram

Didn't add Hwayoung as she is not an option in this poll.

[[POLL] Who's the cutest ?]

Boram, Hyomin & Soyeon are cute in their own way but i voted for Jiyeon. Babydino cute actions etc is just on a different league.

Behold:

[[SPAZZ/POLL] Which member has the best sense of style?]

Hyomin. Was watching taradot com and I like her style best.

Moreover she is usually in a jacket or blazer which is how I like to dress. ha.

[[POLL] Eunjung vs Hyomin!]

i'm hyomin-biased hahaha.

dancing = hyomin

rapping = eunjung...she is more...powerful? love hyomin's rap though.

singing = hyomin - was watching her "mini concert" and thought she was awesome...hopefully she will have more singing parts in the future.

[[12.02.26] T-ara to release new album and hold first solo concert in July!]

New album + Official fan club? Exciting stuff!

Hmmm got to start setting aside some money to go to Korea in July. I really want to catch them in concert.

[[12.02.26] T-ara declares to stop acting in 2012]

hopefully this translates into more rest for them...the words "vigorous schedule" is scary though.

[[POLL] Which is/are your favourite T-ara focused variety series so far?]

This poll is purely T-ara based. So no options for Heroes or IY for that matter.

---

Edit: Finished all.

Couldn't pick a single fav, so I voted for t-aradot.com (the concept was interesting, we got to see their different styles and the girls were funny.), hello baby and pretty boys. (dorky T-ara plus fairly cute boys, need I say more?)

I realised the girls were basically filming DG, HB and T-aradot.com at the same time. Talk about killer schedules.

---

Edited again to add in the latest option.

[[SPAZZ] Did you have a bias for another group then switch to T-Ara?]

I absolutely love After School but these days I find myself spending more time listening/watching t-ara songs, youtube video and shows... go figure...

edit: yea T-ara is my ultimate bias now. I still love After School and SNSD grew on me too. (:
