Hi everyone!,
I'm back....I feel like it's been forever since my last post (mine....not guest post) and also in life in general but I won't talk about it now because I'm still not strong enough, anyway lately I've been listening to BigBang, as you know I don't know much about Kpop and I can only recognize 2 or 3 bands but I'm getting there... so far I'm pretty aware of Super Junior, 2PM and now BigBang (I still can't tell the difference between SNSD and Wonder Girls....I'll get there soon)...so... BigBang I had a few songs on my iphone but nothing that I wanted to play over and over until last week when I was reading a blog and saw the video "Fantastic Chicken" which is apparently a parody of "Fantastic Baby"... and just like 2 years ago I couldn't stop repeating "Lucifer" by SHINEE now I can't stop playing "Fantastic Baby" I obviously can only sing the English parts but it's just fun :)
Check it out .....
Fantastic Baby - BigBang
BIGBANG (빅뱅) is a Korean Hip Hop/ R&B band with 5 members, each one of the
contributes with different Vocals or RAP. Just when the band debuted they were
considered the new face of the YG Family (Online name for YG Entertainment).

by the members like “APEX”, “STUMP” and “DIAMOND” but YG Entertainment’s Yang Hyun Seok thought

single was “Bigbang is V.I.P” and their
3rd (and last) single was “Bigbang 03”. It wAs the same year that
the Official Fan Club was founded and the fans called themselves “V.I.P”
(Because of Bigbang’s 2nd Single), it’s known that fans wear a Black
and White tissue with a BB on it for their concerts.
