There's a really stupid thing going on right now where people accuse Jolin Tsai's agency or whoever directed the MV to her new song Play of plagiarising shots from TaeTiSeo's Twinkle:

It's completely stupid, because both scenes (girl getting out of car that's surrounded by paparazzi and girl applying makeup) are utterly generic and have done before.

It's very much an edm/trap track. The hipster battle is hilarious. :lol:

It's just a YouTube video. :lol:
 
Probably Flash (the software that plays videos on YT) crashed your computer, since it's such a crappy program.

Why did I know what it was even before clicking, lol. Someone linked it to me a couple of weeks ago but I refused to spread it further. :hmph:

Is there an entertainment news site (in English) relating to C-pop that's the equivalent of Allkpop, TokyoHive & ARAMA Japan? :)

New Jolin Tsai MV. The song was on the Play album, but the music video for "I'm Not Yours (feat. Namie Amuro)" was released yesterday.

I clicked on Jolin's videos for the Namie, and ended up staying for Jolin. Gentlewomen's video kind of caught and held me, and I think I might really like this woman.

I've never heard of this group, but you can never have too much Tchaikovsky!

I'm guessing people are mentioning Red Velvet's "Dumb Dumb" because of the abstract video direction: upside down legs (A/B), industrial robots (A/B), conveyor belts (A/B), gathering and revolving around a circular table (A/B), and multicolored (anaglyph) glasses (A/B). As for the song, it seems to be a direct cover of Symphobia's "I Do I Do".

I have heard of them. They have an older song I really like that I can't recall the name of.

Interesting find, I had no idea it was a cover. And I definitely see the RV comparison, though I much prefer "Dumb Dumb". :)

Uhg so I got addicted to this song and listened to it all of yesterday while aine was at work. :lol:
But he is home today so I have to listen to it quietly on my headphones. :cryalot:
 
Shame that is a cover AND video isn't all that original either, but still enjoying it.

It's a couple weeks old, but the Linlin-produced group Idol School released a new music video for a song called "Happy Happy New Year Yeah".

I have just discovered YinYueTai and I am stunned by how many Chinese girl groups there are that I have never heard of.
 
Most of them are probably disbanded by now but I don't care, I'm enjoying watching all their videos.

I wish I knew Chinese and could make a proper thread for SING, but I can't even tell you the names of their songs, I just recognize them by the thumbnails. xD
