Opinion - Taeyeon's new solo track "I"

What did you think of Taeyeon's new solo track "I"? 

Honestly, the song is great! But. There's a but. But, it is repetitive and gets tired after a while. I doubt I will be able to put the track on repeat unlike the rest of Taeyeon's OST tracks like "Can You Hear Me?", "I Love You", "It's Love", "Missing You Like Crazy", or even SNSD's ballads. The most exciting part of the song is the rap. The performance isn't anything to rave about either. She looks lonely and awkward alone on stage, the only performance I watched she looked terrified as well. Unfortunately, I did not manage to finish watching and have no intentions to watch other performances, if I do, it will be just to see her #ootd. 

The first time I heard the song, it was broadcasted on the radio at the Korean restaurant I was eating at. And I thought, "This sounds like Taeyeon's voice. But it sounds like a Japanese song (Jpop vibe)." so I shook it off. Bam! I should have trusted my familiarity with her voice more! In fact, in Hidden Singer 3, I was able to identify her voice accurately in all rounds! For all whom are criticizing the producers for NOT giving her her part in GEE, shouldn't that be even MORE obvious that it was not HER voice??? 

Anyway, "I" is a great refreshing song whose sound has not been attempted by Taeyeon/SNSD before. And needless to say, what a name! This is truly the perfect name for someone who is debuting solo after getting really famous in a group. This is me, this is my music, this is my sound, and this is what I am capable of. Don't see me as SNSD's Taeyeon, I am a solo artist right now, "I" am Taeyeon.

SNSD Current Housemates Stand At...


Who is living together now in the dormitory? 
Taeyeon
Tiffany
Sunny
Hyoyeon

Each having their own room. 

Honestly, after living for so long away from their family, I don't know how the rest coped back at their home. Well, should they want to get back, there's no space for them. But they are all able to afford their own house now, and probably just waiting for marriage (?) :) It is the age.

SNSD Attachments & Dating Rumours

Yoona is attached. 

Sooyoung is attached. 

Tiffany is attached.

Taeyeon is attached. 

Jessica is definitely attached. 

Hyoyeon was attached.

More than half of SNSD has been confirmed to be dating. In addition to that, I am pretty sure 100% of them have had a boyfriend. 

THE WORLD IS OVER. SNSD ERA IS OVER. 

Im kidding. 

Im kidding over that last line.

But yes, with all the new idol groups, SNSD era is over. Let's be realistic about it and support them as a group instead of an idol group. We, the fandoms are also getting older, time to get on with our lives and go out on dates ourselves while supporting them dating.

How To Continue As A Fan Even If News on the GG Girls are No Longer Rampant

To me, as of the fact that we see fewer and fewer appearances of the girls on TV, the only thing that keeps us from wandering far can be
1) their Instagram account - update of their life. Or anything social-media they are using to communicate with us.
2) concerts - but really, how many SONEs actually get the chance. We have to rely on substandard fancams (but not complaining)
3) Past shows / appearances - thanks to the uploaders for these old goodies
4) Fan fictions - for those who have an OTP

I know a dozen of people who while do not hate SNSD, SNSD no longer inspires or excites them. Myself included - Sure, put SNSD in front of me & I will be trying to contain my excitement, but thing is, I no longer scour soshified or snsdkorean or even allkpop for news. Uploaders I subscribed to on youtube are either no longer active, or had their account suspended. And see? A lot of us.... we grew older as the girls did. We started working. We have another half. We are juggling between family, friends, work and enjoyment. Celebrity gossips are now entitled to 5% of our life, compared to 30% when we were heck'bored studying.

Anyhow, to show appreciations to all the authors and the 9 girls, I have put together a list of my favorite pairing (Taeyeon & Jessica -> Taengsic!) fanfics, mostly from Soshified. These are the ones that I found to be really good, that given a chance, I would re-read them over and over. There are just talented writers out there and thank goodness they write Taengsic! HAHA, as dead/overrated as the pairing is... hellooooo there, we're all still here ~~


P.s.  I merely attached those I find good and have read (and still find-able... some are lost, like "I'll Marry You Because They Told Me So" :/ whatever happened?! ). You can click on the author's profile to find more of their content :)

What to Expect In The Next Post

Currently working on a list of Taengsic fanfics available online. Those that impressed me... that's not a small number. I must say, there are plenty of talented authors out there and I am sooo glad they are Taengsic fans. Who cares if they might not get along in real life? Ha!

So, in between doing that and juggling this atop of my busy schedule... Yea... Wait for it! :)

Taeyeon Instagram Account - What it means

So prior to reports that SNSD are living separately now, I posted this http://snsdthoughts.blogspot.sg/2012/11/no-longer-living-in-shared-expensive.html
I like to think that I can predict stuff accurately, or at least, I observed correctly - makes me think that I am on the right track. Alright, so I have been a little MIA the past months due to travelling and work. Darn. With that said, I thought I would have missed a whole load of SNSD news. Sadly (or luckily), I haven't. SNSD had been busy with their Japan tour. And it seems like Taeyeon's new Instagram is the most happening thing these weeks to come for all SONES.

What does this account for Taeyeon means? I interpreted it as: for SM to allow a Girls' Generation to open a public social media account, that meant they have loosen the rope a little on the girls. It is also another indication that the dating rule is probably more relaxed. Furthermore, with less spotlights on the girls due to their activities overseas, and that the girls are getting older, the girls are bound to rebel more and demand for more freedom. They are no longer girls.

OR that, Taeyeon had forcefully demanded/threatened to connect with her international fans OR else.... I always knew there was something independent and adamant about her. And lonely. Her opening this account could possibly mean to connect better to her fans, but also, a way to fight loneliness while the rest of her members busy themselves with their lives and friends. Please don't be a dick and bullshit tell me that she ain't lonely and she has all her members. F you. It's so obvious c'mon. Or should that be a post by itself?

Alright, so what does this account means to her fans? Beside that we will all <3 her photos to propel all her photos to top trending photos on Instagram, it is a platform for us to know where she is and what she (and the girls) are up to. For instance, now, we know that she's in UK on her personal trip. Without this IG, she and the rest of SNSD would have faded in the background during their break, what's with all the new idol groups coming out (honestly Im just sayin' cuz I haven't kept up, damn I only just found out Wondergirl's Sun is married and preggy.)

Will the other members create their own Instagram account too? I would think NO to Facebook, but Twitter and Instagram, probably. So far, we haven't seen much haters on Taeyeon's instagram, all I really see are LOVES and general LOVES and probably some stalkings to the photos she liked or accounts she subscribes to. In fact, generally, haters are from South Korea. And South Koreans using IG are too small a number to compare with the rest of the IG using worldwide fans. So if another member creates an account, who will it be?

So, just a small observation if you are stalking Taeyeon's account, always hoping to be one of the first few to like her photos. Well, when she post 1 up, she's likely to post another up within the next few minutes. She is seriously posting a lottas photos very often, and TBH I would not have done that in her position. Better not to give so much, save a little.. And she's commenting in KOrean or Japanese which honestly, while I have nothing against the languages, I do feel frustrated without translation. Like, "What's the point if I don't uds" so I don't bother checking them out so often anymore. I'd just wait go to some site that translate it and read it all at once. Of course with that said, I used Instagram just cuz of her, so for all you Instagram maniac out there, I am not speaking for you. ALRIGHT BYE, till we see again. COmment if you want me to remark on anything :)

A side note, to be honest, I don't understand why TaeTiSeo are no longer the MC of the Music Core. That was a great opportunity which does not take much time (1 day a week) and is an extra source of income (okay though Im guessing it's not a lottas money) but best of all, it allows them 3 to connect to the fans on such close levels.
