Micci's Weekly KPop Ranking
Episode3
Week 3: Jan 14-20, 2013
(Video Posted: Feb 11, 2013)
Hi everyone! I’m Micci and welcome to Episode 3 of my Weekly KPOP Rankings! This week is the battle of the comebacks and amazing choreographies! I’m not kidding when I say that this week was probably the HARDEST to rank! To me all 20 of the artists on my ranking are all so perfect!
Now I apologize for the extra long dely in posting this. I got very ill and I was planning on doing my rankings like how I did for episodes 1 & 2 but I didn't want to go on camera. Eventually, I decided to settle do to my videos this way instead since now I have this blog. No need for me to be in front of the camera! Whoop! THIS is how my videos will be from now on.
I’ll get started with 2 artists who aren’t promoting but they released perfect videos!
The first is JYJ’s Kim JaeJoong’s rocking solo debut song, "Mine". I thought the whole JYJ/SM issue was finally over, but for some reason, JYJ still can’t promote on music programs, so JaeJoong’s "Mine" can’t be placed on my rankings. *sad face* As you probably heard, the song is hard rock, which is a very new sound we’re hearing from him. I personally think it fits his voice soooo well. The music video was so amazing with it’s dark setting and vampire theme. JaeJoong certainly does know how to be perfect no matter what he does or how he looks.

The other artist who released a music video is B.A.P with "Rain Sound". I’m a HUGE Baby and this song was super perfect. If it had been promoted it probably would’ve been 1st because I’m biased like that. But for real, it’s so perfect with its soft hip hop feel and because they all sound more mature! (Especially Zelo! Our baby is growing up!) B.A.P has seriously never disappointed me as each song they release is even better than the last. Watch out for their comeback in February!

Now I’ll begin the actual countdown!
In 10thplace I have 2YOON’s rocking comeback- "Why Not"! Now the reason I used a live performance video is because they haven’t released a music video for this song. They performed it as part of their comeback stage and I fell in love! The song is really great for their great vocals! Its also a very different sound compared to their other song 24/7 and the stuff they’ve done with 4Minute!

2YOON (투윤)- "Why Not" [Live]
Next up is Boyfriend- "I Yah" Like I said last episode, this choreography really hot. It’s great to see Boyfriend having a mature concept compared to their cute days! Personally, I like this side to them a lot more. I used a live performance to show you the hot choreo because it isn’t seen too much in the actual music video. (Bless the camera-man in this live performance. mmmm.) I wish boyfriend would release an actual dance version to this song.

In 8th place this week is Phantom’s comeback with "Like Cho YongPil". This song and music video are so deep as it shows the struggles of trying to make it big but the road to getting there is not easy and how relationships can be tested. Phantom never fails to bring forth beautiful music despite how sad the lyrics are. The reason I used a live performance instead of the music video is because the music video is a story that you can’t just watch a short piece, plus in the live version you can really hear the power and emotions behind their perfect voices. Phantom is forever one of my favorite groups and they deserve so much more recognition. So if you haven’t checked them out, be sure you do so the lyrics of this song can really become a part their past.

In 7th place is a another rocking comeback with CNBLUE- “I’m Sorry". This song is definitely the song that has made me get into them. The song is so catchy and when it comes on you can’t help but stop what you’re doing and just jam. I even almost broke my bed while jumping on it. (Actually every single time I hear the song there's always, ALWAYS, an accident of some sort.) The music video is also very cool because it’s filmed in London and the scenes of their breakups have really good acting, especially Jungshin haha. Over-all this was a very great comeback for them.

Next is the new hip hop duo EGOBOMB and their song "Throw It Away". This song is so awesome and their rapping is insanely good! Like I said last episode, with their skills they have a great future ahead of them. You should look them up if you still haven’t.

The power of this week’s comeback artists is shown as GLAM, who was placed 1st last week, is placed at 5th this week. Despite them moving down to 5th place, they are still very highly played on repeat. This song is seriously one of my favorite songs ever. If you still haven’t checked them out, what the f**k are you waiting for!?
GLAM (글램)- "I Like That" M/V

Now we enter the realm of never ending comebacks starting with 2YOON’s *BOOM CLAP BOOM BABOOM CLAP* “24/7”. I’m seriously in love with this song. It was instantly stuck in my head after the 1st time I heard it. Maybe it’s because I’m a true southern country girl from Texas and I like country music, but this song makes me so happy and warm. The dance is also very simple and easy that you can’t help but to sing and dance along! I actually got to meet Jiyoon and the rest of 4Minute so of course I do feel a bit biased towards 2YOON as well. (I actually didn't get to meet Gayoon because she was sick.)

Now these next 3 artists were the absolute HARDEST to rank. Every other second I kept switching them around and so just know that in the end no matter what the actual rank was, they are all number 1 in my heart.
In 3rd place we have a legendary comeback with H.O.T’s, Moon HeeJun and "I’m Not OK". Now as an American, I didn’t grow up listening to H.O.T like I did with N’Sync or Backstreet Boys, but after getting into KPop I quickly learned who the 1st generation idols were and to respect them because they were the foundation of the genre I now love. That’s why I was still excited none-the-less for this comeback, but I have to admit, I was not expecting this full out awesomeness. Moon HeeJun’s choreography BLEW ME AWAY and if you watch my reaction video you can see how it was so perfect it made me literally tear up. I have a big weakness for amazing choreography and this was more than amazing and perfect. Like words really can’t explain the full love I have for this comeback. He also performed "Pioneer" for his comeback stages. Every time I watch the performances, I always end up crying chicken shit tears.

In 2nd place I present to you the perfect debut of Co-Ed School’s all male sub-unit, SPEED and their song “It’s Over” featuring Kang Minkyung from Davichi. Where do I even begin? This debut was over-all so super perfect to the point I’m left rolling around on the floor literally in tears. Now they are actually a prior all-male sub-unit of Co-Ed School (5Dolls being the all-female unit), but only Taewoon (leader), Jungwoo, & Sungmin are the only original members left. (Apparently SPEED is also no longer a sub-unit. Hence why this is their "debut". ~ but not even I'm sure about this.) They released 2 music videos a drama and dance version. The drama version was really good as it continues telling the story about the Gwangju Massacre from their “That’s My Fault” video. The acting is really superb and the story line is really good (and sad). Then they add on a dance version and wow, this choreography is so freaking cool! Their tutting is so on point and synced, then the light up gloves they use emphasize their tutting even more, and thennnn you add on Yuhwan and his acrobatics and you have an mind blowing performance. Then on TOP of all of that, you place it with amazing raps and vocals and seriously I wonder how I’m still alive after that. It was seriously such an epic debut.

Finally in 1st place is the creepy and unique comeback of V-I-DOUBLE-X VIXX with their song "On and On". So they were bound to get 1st on my chart because I’m a pretty big Starlight if you couldn’t already tell from my shirt and poster in other videos. They captured my heart with "Rock Your Body" and after seeing them live at KCON, they took a hold of my heart for eternity. But they are also placed at number 1 this week because their comeback is so creepy, original and ICONIC! From their very different hair colors, to their crazy eye contacts, the eye makeup, outfits and even their choreography it’s all so creepy and different. I love how the song starts off with the Phantom of the Opera then it becomes this very catchy beat that slightly gives me the same kind of chilling vibes that Michael Jackson’s Thriller gave me. Their vocals sound so great and Ravi’s rapping makes all the ladies ovaries explode. I feel like their looks are a huge mix of vampires, werewolves, and zombies ALL COMBINED INTO ONE. Like how is that even possible? I don't know, but VIXX did it! (Okay so maybe Leo is the only one who looks like a werewolf but still, you get what I'm saying.) The choreography is so cool and unique too. It’s really like watching dancing zombies! I feel like this choreography is forever strictly VIXX's iconic dance just like Michael Jackson's "Thriller" dance is. When you see the part where they go is “I need therapy, lalalala therapy” you will automatically KNOW it's from them. I feel like I really may need therapy because this comeback was just way too perfect.

Now for whatever dumb reason, the actual music video is gone from youtube *cries for your soul if ou didn't download it when you had the chance*, anyways, this is the lyric video. I'll post the actual mv link if it ever comes back.
That’s it for this week’s countdown! As you can probably tell by how much I had to say, I absolutely loved all these comebacks so very much! It’s really a wonder how I’m still alive after crying and having my ovaries and brains explode from all my feels!
