SHINee's 'Selene 6.23' tops Music Charts!!!

[achan123.livejournal.com]

The song has snagged #1 on multiple charts, and the accompanying song "Better Off" has also placed high on the charts. Jonghyun has written the lyrics to "Selene 6.23" himself.
"Selene 6.23" features an orchestral narration as well as piano melody making for an emotional ballad, while "Better Off" will be a medium-tempo pop ballad that expresses the sadness associated with goodbyes.

1. [+894, -12] Journalist, he didn't compose the song, he penned it

2. [+666, -55] Gotta trust SHINee when it comes to music. They've never disappointed me with their voices. The fact that their title songs are stupid is SM's fault. Listen to the other songs in their albums, listen to them twice. They're worth it.

3. [+629, -41] Vocals are goose bump inducing

4. [+568, -33] I've been listening to them for a while and noticed how much Taemin has improved. Key's voice is on the unique side but he's a good singer and Minho is trying his best. SHINee's probably the male idol group with the most members who can sing. Their songs have a high quality to them now with great lyrics. I think SM is finally recognizing SHINee's true worth and giving them great songs to work with.

5. [+515, -32] Love SHINee's song ㅋㅋㅋ

"Such a honey voice ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"
"Something is different with onew’s singing and all others singing… different feeling"
"Onew is a national treasure among idol boys"
"As soon as I heard ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"
"Cotton candy-like voice…"
"Attacked my heart…"
"This boy’s voice ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Caused my heart to tremble ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"
"The voice sounds like a real treasure"
"This voice is like a dream"
"Onew is something to treasure …"
"ha ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ Onew’s voice is giving me goosebumps"
"onew leading the song ㅠㅠㅠ I’m melting ㅠㅠㅠㅠ"
"Crazily good"
"Onew is really the best….."
"Onew’s voice is honey ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"
"I would like to hear onew’s solo songs more"
"The vocal cords are made of honey"
"He is a really good entertainer and sings really good ㅜㅜㅠㅠㅜ"
"I hope he sings more and more solo songs… really nice voice ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"
"impressive ㅜㅜ His voice is really healing and expressive… I can feel the emotions ㅜㅜ"

Yay!

woot woot! :]

SHINee <3 I really do prefer their ballads. Too bad they're so good at dancing. SM will never allow them to just stand and sing.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Me too. That's why I just repeat their ballade lives more than their other performances. I know they're great at dancing as a group but I do really prefer their slower songs.

[she-devil666.livejournal.com]

Good for them!

SHINee's probably the male idol group with the most members who can sing.  I find that hard to believe. In fact, I know it's not true.

[22by7.livejournal.com]

I think they were talking about ratios, not numbers.

[anthonymarie.livejournal.com]

hey it did better than wss LOL

+666

yeah, topping the charts without even proper advertisements/ teaser is really something~ (well, unless you call jonghyun's tweets, that is XD)

SHINee, jjang-jjang!

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

I have both of the song on repeat for 2 days now. I think selena 6.23 is probably my fave SHINee's song ever. The melody is just soo nice and all of the guys sound so lovely in it -- I surprisingly freaking love Minho's voice in the song! :O

As expected, SM released ballade songs to get public attention for SHINee's vocal and so far, it is working which is great.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I don't even like ballads (especially drama OST-esque ballads) but that song has definitely grown on me. The vocals are damn gorgeous.

[princesalunar.livejournal.com]

"Gotta trust SHINee when it comes to music. They've never disappointed me with their voices" THIS!!!

So sad that they won't promote this songs T_T the lyrics are so beautiful I could be a great performance for shinee, showing their vocals why sm? why?! </3

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

ikr ;~; i rly want them to promote selene! ;A; but shinee is so busy i'm glad they don't have to also promote on music shows ;;

[bea-chan22.livejournal.com]

The song can be said as very generic OST ballad-ish, but their voices make up for it. <3

[nandexdame.livejournal.com]

"and Minho is trying his best"

and that is all we can ask for

j/k

[22by7.livejournal.com]

Dead. But he does sound very pretty, I thought!

[knowyaboo.livejournal.com]

Side-eyeing Netizen 4 for the comments on Minho's voice. Of course he doesn't sing like Onew but cAN YOU NOT? MINHO'S GOT A LOVELY VOICE okAY? In other news, Selene 6.23 is my favorite ballad *cries*

[spainawards2008.livejournal.com]

I like Monho's voice. It's very soft and gentle but it's nice to listen to. I especially like the live version of 'Tie a yellow ribbon round the old oak tree' that they did. They all sound great on that.

[22by7.livejournal.com]

These boys deserve all the praise *_______*

[tothechangmin.livejournal.com]

ugh he's such a weirdo ♥

[22by7.livejournal.com]

Since we're talking about SHINee and ballads... I still think it was a legit crime to not let them promo 'Quasimodo'.

[fashionxxavenue.livejournal.com]

THIS. ugh i love quasimodo so much.

[plantbottle.livejournal.com]

I love love love the lyrics, love love love the vocals, love love love everything. SHINee, you don't disappoint.

[chikage-chan.livejournal.com]

Totally well deserved, because that song is beautiful! <3

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

yaaaayyyyyy more praise more praise!!!! 8) and i even agree about key's voice being unique and minho trying his best. 8DDDD finally some un-delusional ppl in korea!
BUT shinee's albums have always been high class, not only now! it's true some of the title songs lack something but shinee is DAEBAK WHATEVER THEY DO! TAT just finally sm is promoting them better. my bbs ;~; so proud.

and props to you netizen no.1 :) finally saying it like it is. jong wrote the LYRICS for several songs, not the music! the only thing he composed that we know of is the songs he teased us with in OFD.

[iglossmyeyes.livejournal.com]

shame they'll never be top tier group.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

what's top tier group? I keep hearing that but I don't understand what that means ._. I thought they were at least in top 5 in popularity ranks? Idk.

[yixxing.livejournal.com]

proud of jonghyun bby for doing well!!! shinee never disappoints with their ballads (shinee never disappoints at all tbh) i agree so much with netizens number 2 and 4. shinee is def one of the most capable groups in kpop

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

so happy for them; they deserve all the praise

[guitarchic11292.livejournal.com]

SHINee has some beautiful ballads, glad it's being recognized :)

[tothechangmin.livejournal.com]

[meishan94.livejournal.com]

YASH! My shinee babies are being praise!

Im wondering if they could make a mv of them dancing ballet to Selene 6.23. It would be so special.

but Meh. That's just my imagination.
