FAVOURITE ARTISTS! (PT.1)

I simply had to write about my favourite artists;)
Let's start with the group BIG BANG!

My favourite member is Kwon Ji Yong or more commonly known as G-dragon/GD.

I like his rap (really nice!), his dance (the 2nd best aft Taeyang, if not the best;p) and I like it that he creates his own style in everything. His fashion taste has not attracted me lately but
he still wows me with his charasmatic personality and the fact that he dares to try new, bold styles! At first sight, I usually don't quite like his style (hair/clothings) but the more you see, he somehow brings a whole different life to it. And he does look good in some (eg, wearing hairband in 'Haru Haru' MV).

MV. So cool right?

The hairband style! Isn't it marvellous.. Who would think that a guy could look so good in one! Hats off..

Not to mention, he is the leader of Big Bang! 'Kwon lee-duh'! Not the oldest member (he's actually the 3rd oldest & 3rd youngest! Hehe, how special~in da middle), I would say he is one of the best leaders.

Oh, did I mention he sings too? This guy can do just about anything! You name it, he can do it! You should really listen to HIS version of 'This Love' (Maroon 5's song). It's a whole different song and I think it is beyond words! Awesome, creative! He also composes many of Big Bang songs, 'Lies' being the most prominent. 'Lies' was the song that shot Big Bang to fame. Initially, it was suppose to be his solo song, but being a selfless leader, he decided it would be sung by the group instead.

Physically, I would not regard him as a handsome guy (T.O.P is! Haha..), but he has been voted as the Top 10 sexiest man in some magazine (I can't remember) and he's actually very cute. Haha.. Being not very tall (probably the shortest, I think he's less than 170cm tall), he does not fail to shine. In fact, he shines the most! =) This guy is awesomely talented.

Another unique, bold style. It's either
you love it or hate it. I love it!

I'm waiting for his solo album which was due to be releases in May '09 but has been postponed to Aug '09 due to some sort of 'breakdown' from poor GD. We should not forget he is human after all and has not rested since Big Bang's debut in 2007.
This year, he not only have to work on his own solo album, he also lent his talent into moulding the 'Female Big Bang' which just made their debut this month as
2NE1. 2NE1 is not bad actually. I particularly like Minzy (great dancer) & CL (leader~she's just as charasmatic as the female GD!) but not so of Dara & Bom (but she's very pretty!). One thing I really like about them is that they are not like any girl bands who uses the 'cute concept'. There are just too many, and sometimes you just feel like puking..
The same applies to Big Bang, they are also one of the few boy bands who does not use the 'cute concept' or use their looks to gain popularity. They are
pure talent and cool and you'd just have to love their style! I do! =)
