[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

KBSKpop won't let me embed from their channel so here are links:

Eric Nam - The Rose + My Love

Sohyang - You Raise Me Up

Ali - Flying Without Wings

Lee Hyun - Fool Again

백형훈 x 기세중 - Uptown Girl

V.O.S. - World of Our Own

Sorry I don't know the romanized versions of their names. Didn't want to assume!

KBSWorld is weeks behind so shabby post is all I got. Kpop is bringing some awesome crossovers this week. I'm beginnging to feel personally attacked. What are some other amazing english covers by kpop stars you love?

Missed a chance to do If I Let You Go, Swear It Again and When You're Looking Like That but man did the nostalgia hit me hard when Eric started My Love T_T

And Pentagon covered one of my favourite Blue songs ^_^

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Breath Easy is one of my fave Blue songs too. It was such a hard song to sing. I remember feeling the raw feeling of song when I watched the MV -- I literally could feel how the main actor is feeling lol

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

same! Blue had some amazing songs I'm surprised more people don't cover them tbh

[dbil.livejournal.com]

No mention of this iconic Blue cover.

[dbil.livejournal.com]

OP, Fool Again was by Lee Hyun, he might be tagged under 8eight or Homme iirc. Edit: Also, apparently the male duo are musical actors Baek Hyung Hoon and Ki Se Joong.

Sohyang's and Ali's performances hit me in the feels, but I really liked what VOS and the male duo did. Uptown Girl was tons of fun! I really gotta check out the fully subbed episode to see what Shane said about all of them.

ty updated the post!

The irony of other artists covering Westlife.

Not hating, honestly. 95% of the reason why I fell in love with Westlife is BECAUSE of their covers, and I will forever lament the fact that they never did a Disney cover album, but still.

Nicky be looking rough, though.

I always love the original songs no matter what but somehow, I personally feel that most of Westlife covers are better than the original (except for maybe O-Town's All or Nothing). :P I think I just like the way they arrange the song. They always pick good songs to sing.

I love it when Immortal Song 2 did this kind of special. My fave is still Richard Marx's episode and I remember Richard was completely blown away with all the performances -- he keeps giving them standing ovation lol.

And my loves VOS is back! And Ji Hoon is joining them as well what a miracle. To this day, I still find them as the most vocally talented group ever come out from Korea. I love the fact that mostly all of their songs are an exchange of super high notes between the 3 of them. Wish they will come out with new album soon. Its been three hundred thousand years since they released anything.

And I'm soooo happy VOS won this episode -- rightfully deserved. I wonder why KBS didnt upload the full episode yet at YouTube.

[carmine-pink.livejournal.com]

I read that VOS will be releasing a single or something, there's a teaser on 1theK in YouTube.

[tsuyoi-hikari.livejournal.com]

Great news. I cant believe that Jihoon joined them back. :D

KBS has a deal with a streaming service so they have a hold period on episodes being posted on youtube for a couple weeks. At least the ones with english subs, I'm not sure if the whole ep is available in Korean.

hitting me in my childhood feels. I love the 90s/00s boybands songs!

[shuumi-miss.livejournal.com]

It hit me right in the nostalgia when I watched this over the weekend. Then I showed the performances to my friend and she didn't know any song except for Uptown Girl. I was all in shock, like, girl, you're 29 years old, how in the world don't you know westlife? lol.

Ali and Sohyang were my faves this time.

[jessi-cola.livejournal.com]

How did no one cover Unbreakable?? Shambles

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

I am INSANELY biased and Sohyang was my favorite. I know she loves that song so much and her arrangements are always so dang good. Plus her head voice is literally angelic I could listen to it forever. I love her so much it’s just nice seeing her on programs again.

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

I was just listening to her version of Home from her masked singer run 😭😭 it’s so beautiful.

[rosiemotleymind.livejournal.com]

I knowwwwww! I never thought someone could make Park Hyo Shin’s song better but she did. It’s otherworldly

[vintage-boom.livejournal.com]

mte. she's exceptional!
