I finally calmed down enough to read the whole article of bullshit
Now let me do a proper bashing on this Adeline Chia

General speaking, i guess she hates all kind of music.
She basically bashed Lady Gaga, Black Eyed Peas, SUJU, 2AM, TVXQ.
Poor woman.

Now, specifically speaking.

"I am heartily sick of it. Every bit of it. The manufactured sounds, the ersatz emotions, the clone-like stars, the cult-like weepy fandom."

Lol lady, no one's forcing you to enjoy or even listen to it. You can always go back to listening your Backstreet Boys. The weepy fandom, she's obviously referring to the tears we shed during the fanparty over the fanmade videos. The fact that she doesn't even know why we were crying angers me. We were crying as the video touched us. We were crying because the video expressed the words on behalf of the 800,000 cassies wanted to say to the boys. You yourself know what happened to the boys. You should atleast know what we cassies have/are going through.

"This seems like a drill: Train some nice-looking kids in a star factory. Assemble a group of them. Give them a name that is an abbreviation for something or just a random collection of letters and numbers. The girls must have stick-thin arms and legs and the boys must look a bit like girls. Next produce a song that is the demon child of Lady Gaga and BEP. Throw in Autotune, hip-hop beats and strong synth lines. Make a video that is a synchronized dance moves while the back-up dancers gurn at the sides."

Lol fyi, their group names always have a meaning. MBLAQ = Music Boys Live in Absolute Quality. DBSK = Dong Bang Shin Ki, Rising Gods of The East. THOSE. ARE NOT RANDOM LETTERS. THEY ACTUALLY STAND A MEANING, NIGGA!!
"The girls must have stick-thin arms and legs" i'm sorry but, have you seen Bekah's legs? Hyorin? Bora?! You're just judging SNSD, not the entire girl group, fucker.
And the boys must look a bit like girls? Yea sure they look like girls. But they're getting a whole lot girls more than any normal guys could.
Autotune, hip-hop beats and strong synth lines? Oh i'm sorry. I didn't know Lonely, Ugly were autotune songs. i didn't know 2AM & Davichi produce hip-hop beats and has autotune in their songs. Why don't you, someone who's just judging kpop by the cover, tell me more about these kpop autotune songs that you so hate, to me, who basically been in the kpop industry long enough to tell the difference.

'Then there is K-pop's effect on listeners. it turns functional people into crazed addicts, acting in robotic idolatry."

Oh. Of course. I acted all crazy and lost control of myself whenever im listening to DBSK/MBLAQ/T-ARA's songs. Yea sure.

'Recently, watching a sea of red lightsticks keeping beat to a song made me and my companion grab on to each other. Eyes wide in terror, we communicated wordlessly for fear of persecution. Our faces said this: 'Are we at a cult gathering?'' 

Lol technically, you are. The rising gods of East are on stage. You have to bow down to your knees and kiss their feet. Basically worship them. /sarcasm Lol seriously. Cult gathering? That's the worst insult ever. Lady, you're asking for a death wish.

"Sometimes, anti-fans turn into stalkers or criminals. Yunho from TVXQ famously had an anti-fan spike his drink with super glue and had to have his stomach pumped ... But i also wonder if anti-fan behaviour is encouraged by the record labels to generate more publicity for their artists."

Oh i'm sorry. I didn't know getting attacked by an anti-fan that nearly risked my life is considered a public stunt. Why don't i just jump off a building to get the whole world's attention then? Tsk. Common sense, lady. Use it.

"I know this because I had to do research for this article and listen to a lot of fabricants perform their music. Before I know it, the melodies have worned their way into the folds of my grey matter, made my synapses misfire, caused me to lose control of my wrist on my computer mouse -- till i am clicking on the same video in Youtube again and again, staring glassy-eyed at my screen, alone, at four in the morning."

Uh huh. And exactly WHAT kind of 'research' have you done? Those mainstream ones only? That's what you called 'research'? I think you missed out OTHER songs, oh, i don't know. Maybe Sunny Hill? Or Brown Eyed Girls? OR MAYBE DAVICHI. Oh, i don't know. Maybe it's just me who doesn't go crazy at 4am in the morning dancing to Sorry Sorry every single day. Yea i'm sure the rest of the fangirls do that because they have no school and basically no life, huh. /sarcasm overloading

Gosh i can't believe i just wasted a post on this lady. SG media needs to stop using K-pop to make money. Who knows? This could be encouraged by their company to generate more publicity for their newspapers.

Labels: i hate sg media so fucking much
