Hello pretty people, today is the last label round and before we enter the final stage on this competition I'd like to make sure we're all on the same page with what the ESC is all about. And who better to explain the glory of the eurovision than a sassy british man.
PS: in classic esc fashion there will be a surprise for the finale *mwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa - evil laugh*
1.I will be making thread for each label.
If you post your promo outside of these thread the song will be disqualified.
2. Put your stuff under a spoiler
3. non promo comment can be made outside of those threads.
4. Keep in mind that the ESC is the base for this. So be imaginative with your promo. Glitter, crazy hairdo, ugly outfit are actually a good thing.
5. Use this as an opportunity to make others know about songs you enjoy
6. Have fun, be nice, be friendly
Gee
Genie
Lucifer
Mirotic
Sorry Sorry
Evening sky
Heaven
Knock

Date: 2016-07-21 01:32 am (UTC)I think with certain situations, like this, it's alright to delete cause OP wanted pictures/gifs that are large to be in a spoiler.

Date: 2016-07-23 12:52 am (UTC)BE HONEST
Date: 2016-07-20 05:56 pm (UTC)How many of us got into k-pop because of
a. TVXQ
b. Mirotic
It's so perfectly ESC too
The hair
The choreo
The randomness of the MV
The fact that the song doesn't get old
COME ON BE HONEST!!!!

Date: 2016-07-20 06:14 pm (UTC)Taeyeon's adlibs in this song are everything. I want her to sound like this again.
The outfits and choreo.
RE: SM
Date: 2016-07-20 07:22 pm (UTC)I went with Genie, cause I like Genie the most out of all of them...
But on ESC probably the others would fare better. Especially Gee.

Re: SM
Date: 2016-07-21 12:06 am (UTC)VOTE GEE. I PREFER GENIE. WE ALL PREFER GENIE. BUT THIS IS ABOUT WHAT REPRESENTS KPOP THE MOST. GEE. IS. KPOP. KPOP IS GEE. It is an icon and a legend that spawned a legacy that will last FOREVER. Your fave has covered this song. Your faves fave has covered this song. People that don't even know KPop know this song (speaking from personal experience several times over with 'ohhhh I've actually seen this!') IT IS SO ICONIC, DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT LEGENDARY CHOREO. You will never not see Gee on a list of greatest all time-KPop. In fact, the quote from one list when it won number 1:
"Modern Korean music’s comfort zone lies in unadulterated bubblegum pop, and this list would be incomplete without acknowledging its magnum opus. “Gee” is K-pop at its most mathematically reduced, radically pure essence—a pop song so formally irrefutable that, for one golden year, it overcame half a millennium of historical animosity to broker pop cultural peace between Korea and Japan. Domestically, it is the most popular South Korean song of its decade. And most international K-pop fans, consciously or not, owe their obsession to the butterfly effect “Gee” set into motion upon its 2009 release.
The idea of writing an original thought about “Gee” is, for the K-pop connoisseur, like trying to find a fresh insight in Abbey Road or The Great Gatsby. It’s hardly necessary; a tale of first love that transcends the language barrier, “Gee” speaks for itself. It was a flash of brilliance so bright that the production duo behind it could only sputter and fail from there. In a way, that feels appropriate: “Gee” is the greatest feat Korea will ever accomplish in traditional songcraft. From here, K-pop’s true future lies in the experimental, the experiential, and the unexplored."
COULDN'T HAVE SAID IT BETTER MYSELF.
Also gave us this GIF that will last forever in relevancy
PS - I'm super tipsy so forgive me for being so exxxtra
Re: SM
Date: 2016-07-21 01:40 am (UTC)and then i saw the results and lucifer was leading by like 20 votes and i was ????????????????????
i'm honestly about to be petty enough to change my vote to everything BUT lucifer because holy fuck
honestly it's gee > mirotic > genie > the other two, and i know this comm is full of shinee fans but what the hell is going on
Re: SM
Date: 2016-07-21 02:05 am (UTC)ia completely about Lucifer, great song, but hardly a game changer in the KPop world!
Re: SM
Date: 2016-07-21 02:14 am (UTC)maybe if growl made it into the top 5 instead of genie then all snsd fans would just vote for gee instead of splitting it
i love your icon btw
