16 and about five weeks, hence "about" 15 . My bad for the crude rounding to support my point.
But yeah, there's the possibility that the current members won't take it well. But if the T-ara I love and think I know are anywhere near their genuine selves, I'm going to count on them getting through this well.
And I probably stand alone in this, but I always did think T-ara lacked the strong voice that singers like Mariah Carey, Beyonce, Celine Dione, and etc. I love Soyeon's and Eunjung's voices, but I can't help but wish for something between Eunjung's power notes and Soyeon's crisp, clear high octave. They're terrific, but imho Soyeon could use a bit more power and Eunjung a bit more control. I'm sure hoping Dani or the 8th member brings that to the group! (Or maybe I'm expecting too much out of kpop LOL)
