New WG Billboard article

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

They made history by being the first Korean act to ever chart on the Billboard Hot 100 and now Wonder Girls are back hoping to do it again with their latest single "DJ Is Mine." The Korean pop girl group recently released the video for its new track, featuring School Gyrls, as the first single from the upcoming Teen Nick movie "The Wonder Girls," premiering Feb. 2.

The track itself kicks off with a dubstep intro before turning into a high-energy dance-pop track with both Wonder Girls and School Gyrls taking turns in the song's spotlight. The groups trade off singing verses, choruses, and share rapping duties on the dubstep bridge that sounds like it incorporates original Super Mario samples (ie: a mushroom power up).

If School Gyrls look familiar, you may remember them from their previous movies on Nickelodeon, or the single "Get Like Me" featuring none other than Teen Nick chairman Nick Cannon's wife, Mariah Carey.

In the clip, Wonder Girls and School Gyrls take the lyrics of the track literally ("'Cause the DJ is mine, and girl you're wasting your time / He only rocks to my music, he loves the way I do it all night") leading to a competition of best dance moves to catch the DJ's eye. Yet, ultimately it's Wonder Girl member Yenny who hooks him, possibly giving some indication as to a romance for the upcoming movie next month. Both groups look great in multi-hued dresses, ultimately coming together in the name of… killer dance moves and old school Nintendo? Seems so.

With the movie, the girls are preparing more English music to accompany the soundtrack to the movie. In July, Wonder Girls told Billboard.com they were working with hitmaker Claude Kelly as well as Nick Jonas for the album they described as "combin[ing] Asian music and American music. We have Asian melodies and we try to mix some beats on it. It's really fun."

Do you think Wonder Girls can make another appearance on the Billboard charts with "DJ Is Mine"?

i love the WG only version of the dj is mine. i dont really like buying mp3s because sometimes i end up deleting music, are there physical copies available? like at justice or best buy or something?

[vonnadarling.livejournal.com]

There won't be a physical single album for this song, but we're expecting there to be a physical release of the full movie soundtrack released in the next couple weeks.

I love my BB girls but the WG only version of DJ is ATROCIOUS! Partly because it's staged to be a battle/verses song (imagine only brandy or monica singing 'the boy is mine'. Yeah, doesn't work!) but mostly because of Sohee. I'm not sure if its her voice being bad or that the parts they give her are out of her range but whoever decided to give her ALL of the lead vocals needs swift kick in their ass or worse DX

I hate every song that contains the word DJ.

Instant 0/10 from me :\

[frequency.livejournal.com]

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

I was on board until nick jonas was mentioned.

[spassbremse123.livejournal.com]

IA.. his solo career flopped for a reason.

[spassbremse123.livejournal.com]

Also can someone tell "School Gyrls" to spend a little more time in school? I hate when people come up with fancy ways to misspell their name. It's rydiculous.

lmao

I hate Yeeun's dress so much.

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

I don't mind her dress. It's her hair in the actual clips from the movie that is bothering me

[ionizable.livejournal.com]

keke why are there so many random haters in this post

[pivotandsway.livejournal.com]

right? w/e

[jesymphony.livejournal.com]

This song is my jam tbh. I think the chorus is catchy as fuck and it gets stuck in my head all day. The music video does look like some sketchy aerobics video from the 80s though.

mte

[brianathebard.livejournal.com]

idg why so many people (here and on tlist) are hating on the school gyrls like did they take turns kicking your puppy or what. and it's not like they're terrible either.

I love this track, I always jam to it when I see it. I almost don't want it to go to the radio bc I know I'll get sick of it.

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

The choreography looked like it was taken from Dance Central.

I think they can do it, the song sounds like typical pop music anyway.

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

the more I watch the vid that DJ isn't even worth fighting over

[waltz-in-code.livejournal.com]

lol ikr

[my-car-is-prada.livejournal.com]

Yubin and Sunye looks so good! I think the song is average tho. & I don't get what's so amazing about DJ's.

[daisyazul.livejournal.com]

[sadistic-dance.livejournal.com]

I like the song. Too much Sohee though.

[youlittle.livejournal.com]

[neongoldtooth.livejournal.com]

sooo is their a group subbing wonder girls stuff? i haven't really seen any subs for the shows they've been on lately.

[domokuniscute.livejournal.com]

You have to be a member on WG spectacle with 50 posts to access the section. The whole of star life theatre, strong heart cuts and other assorted goodies from the comeback are out, they did announce they will sub everything from this comeback.

Anw, they aren't exactly the fastest subbing team unlike other fans so yeah we all gotta be patient :)

[jessiboo24.livejournal.com]

the song is meh unfortunately so no :/

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

omg Yeeun's dress is freaking awful THERES A CIRCLE OVER HER VAG FFS!

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

lol are these going to be the new "x kpop act takes over japan!" type of dellusional articles?

[akaich0u.livejournal.com]

This article isn't exaggerating any sales figures, nor is it trying to speak for how popular WG are. Have you read it? All it is is is a short recap of the video, description of WG's upcoming plans, and a brief recap of how they appeared on the Billboard chart before. It concludes with asking how the readers felt about WG's prospects.

These articles aren't new to WG either. They've been in Billboard before as well as Teen Vogue, People, Interview, and so on...all similar types of articles recapping mostly their Korean success and their plans in the US. Hardly the same thing as "K-pop in Japan" articles.

[hugtimes.livejournal.com]

Why Nick Jonas? Why not Kevin? My little sister tells me that he's the funny (looking) one.

[minyquai.livejournal.com]

The Lim version of the sKoOL gYrRlZ is so fucking ugly omg hahahahahahahah.

[domokuniscute.livejournal.com]
