Ok I'm just gonna post stuff not in order hahahaha
Red Carpet:
BEAST - Lies (by Big Bang)First reaction: HAIIIIIIIII THERE GI KWANG. Second reaction: Where's Doojoon? (Ah personal reasons) Third reaction: Not bad at all. Big Bang does the song best, for sure, but BEAST did a decent job too. ♥
MBLAQ - Bad Boy (by Rain)I thought MBLAQ did a great job even though they've done this song before. Thunder's solo dance at the end was slick omg I'm falling in love with this boy even though there is Mir and Joon (other biases haha). Joon hurt his knee so he walks in during his part and leaves - he can't dance, poor bb.
Performances:
Female Rappers - Miryo, Ji Yoon, HyunA, Baby J, Yoon Mi RaeShit, I never knew about Yoon Mi Rae (aka T) until this performance but damn she is good!! There so much power in her rapping wow I'm impressed. Btw, I thought the female rappers did a decent job but there wasn't enough hype about it. I think last year the male rappers (was it Gayo Daejun? I think it was SBS Gayo Daejun) totally destroyed it - the audience was all hyped up. Maybe cos this year there's too little guys around. Hahaha, look at the celebrity crowd!! ALL GIRLS!!
G-Dragon Feat. Tae Yang - Korean DreamArguably one of my favourite tracks off Heartbreaker (along with The Leaders, cos that is just one sick track!) - I'm so glad they performed it together. And it's a really tight performance, everything fell in well with one another. G-Dragon even DJ-ed haha! Love the way they ended the performance and they also shouted out one another's names, ie "That's my friend Taeyang!" hahahahaha. I also liked the B&W thing they were doing :D
G-Dragon - HeartbreakerOh, so cool with the 2 trapdoors - I like how they keep using the stuff on stage hahahaha :D I wanted to give this performance a miss cos I watched most of his Heartbreaker stages during the promotional periods - but nooooooo G-D upped one this time. THE "SOLDIERS" PEOPLE ARE SO COOL. They are all wearing the white mask thing (like G-D's album cover) and blonde wigs!! Reminded me of Terracotta soldiers, but modern ones lol.
Tae Yang - Where U At + Wedding DressI laughed when Taeyang's shades flew off after he did that flip. Lol, I can't tell if it's supposed to be like that or not - but it is funny!! Anyway, he still managed to pull off a great stage. Even though he's short and I might be taller than him :( haha, he is still hot. :D I love the performance of Wedding Dress too, btw. And it occurred to me, that 2PM seems to be the only males seated there? Where's BEAST and MBLAQ :\
Brown Eyed Girls - SignThis was beautiful! It started off with an Orchestra version of Sign, and it was really nice. :)
Kara Feat. Dr Core 911 - HoneyTHIS WAS A ROCK VERSION OF HONEY. OMG. It sounded kinda weird to me. Hahaha the girls look really rocker chic and everything, they've the look down to boot but the song doesn't suit the rock feel though :\
Brown Eyed Girls & Kara - Abracadabra + Mister (mash up)LOL THIS WAS FUNNY TOO. Hahahahah I liked how the two songs mashed up nicely but it made the girls busy hahaha cos they had to keep switching between the two dances? Hahaha, but the crowd loved it. AND I SPOTTED BEAST IN THE CROWD ON CAMERA :D
2NE1 - 21st Street MusicalThis was really like a musical. Hahah the first act was Dara's "Kiss" and that woman is so fierce!! This is followed by Bom's "You and I" as Act 2. That was a beautiful performance - her voice is so... unique. Lastly, it's CL + Minzy's "Please Don't Go". Woah, this is the first time I'm hearing this song (I know it came out earlier hahaha) and I like it!! It's so CL + Minzy style with the fierce rap, coupled with Minzy's dancing skills. Hehehe I think I spot Taegoon next to G-Dragon, right right? :D LOL THE GUY IS A PLAYERRRRRRRRR
Nichkhun and Ivy - World Of TemptationLol, nothing can beat the scandalous performance by TOP and Hyori last year. TOP + Hyori > Nichkhun + Ivy, even though I love Khun haha
2PM Feat. JYP - Heartbeat + Again & AgainSo Jay didn't turn up :( But JYP was pretty hilarious, conducting the orchestra, and also when he put on the LED shades similar to what Miryo wore in Abracadabra lol. I liked the glow in the dark effect, even the bows for the orchestra players were glowing!! Again & Again killed me, really. No one took over Jay's parts, and there was no backtrack. Plus there was an obvious gap in all the formation - coupled with the spotlight. The fans were singing Jay's part, even ;~; When
they won best artist of the year the acceptance speech killed me too. ;~; And Wooyoung was crying ;_____;
