Because I was given permission by the Hyo!fan of my heart, [livejournal.com profile] juneunhae, I am reposting HyoYeonJjang's translation of HyoYeon's 2nd Album Thanks To in full here (you can click that to go to SSF). I want to note that Hyo is extremely cutesy and girly in her writing. Lots and lots of "-yong~," random English phrases like "oh" and "ye~" and doing things like writing "thank you" as "ddaeng kyoo" in Hangul. EXTREMELY GIRLY! I was skimming it last night and shaking my head at how incredibly girly her thanks to is. And a block of text! She spent about a third of her messages on her family members--and explicitly calls MinGu her dongsaeng and actually wrote a very cute message to him.

In reposting, I am staying true to HYJ's own emphases: these are things she used for either notation or to bring attention to a name. I did have to cut out HYJ's own emoticons, lol. Go to the SSF post to see them. If you read this, please give HYJ thanks for her efforts translating. HyoYeon wrote a literal block of text in her cutesy language. On the same page, YuRi wrote two lines. XD HYJ, thank you so much! <3 <3 Or should that be 땡큐해용~~~? rofl

All of Hyo's aegyo can be smooshed into a written paragraph! )

Bonus: "Oh!" Interview - LOL, Hyo. Yoong and Syoung are monitoring her closely and Taengoo is gently leading and getting her laughs in at Hyo. XD (I almost LOL'd at the one move they demonstrated because I wanted to be like, "ZOMG, Rino, did you take those Vogue Fem lessons to heart?!" But too stiff and not enough wrist. XD)

Midnight TV Entertainment: Unseen shots from "Oh!" - Um. When was Freak the Vogue filmed (lol, that "trailer"!)? Because I'm becoming more and more convinced Rino threw in Vogue Fem into this choreo. Look at the way YuRi is walking! Knees touching! Double beat! The hands are all off for a catwalk, but the rest . . . ?! I will LOL in my own little world if this is true!
Kwon YuRi can dance--but maybe not so much sing in English. I'm not a big fan of attempts to sing in a language where your pronunciation may not be there. (Madonna, I'm looking at you and that sorry song called "Sorry"! I wince every time I hear the GO. MEN. NA. SAI. *shudder*)

In other dance news: I can't find the magic this season of ABDC. I don't know what's not there but I don't feel energized by any of the performances on the stage. I like this and that from groups--Afroborike does truly amazing partner work and lifts, Rhythm City has a smorgasbord of styles to exhibit and is generally really crisp and clean, We Are Heroes works the popping (and their hips this week), Massive Monkees performs some incredible stunts, Vogue Evolution is something so rarely celebrated on television--but . . . there's something missing. I don't feel a connection with the stages. Every other season there has always been at least one crew per performance that could get me jumping up and down in excitement. I'm not getting that here. =( There seems to be a real lack of being able to not only adjust to the challenges but to be able to take the challenge element and incorporate it into their own styles (S1's Kaba Modern, masters of isolations, was champion at this).

I really thought that We Are Heroes would be the second coming of Beat Freaks but I think there may be a world of difference between the levels of each group's choreography. BF just seems so dynamic when they perform--but that may be because that instead of having an entire crew that specializes in shared forms of dance, Beat Freaks is more about having members that bring different skills.

They need to have an ABDC All Stars: all the winners (JabbaWockeeZ, Super Cr3w, Quest Crew), and, hrm, who would I want back? Beat Freaks, Kaba Modern (the members that did ABDC specifically), Fanny Pak. (LOL, I barely remember Season 2's winner-runner-up Super Cr3w and SoReal Cru--shows how much Fanny Pak left an impression on me.) The funny thing is, I think on just a pure dance level, this season's Southern Movement, Rhythm City, maybe We Are Heroes even could compete with any of the previous seasons'--but, like I said, the challenges have crippled this season. D: D: D:

"We go out to the clubs and wear heels but popping in them? No one has done that." -Nichelle Thrower

Yeah, Hyo, so stop letting people talk you into popping in high heels--especially the ITNW solo. LOL

In other performances, Rhythm City brought theatrics. Vogue Evolution brought more diva attitude than you can handle. AfroBorike brought sex.

I tried making gifs yesterday from Hyo's "Chocolate" solo, but, dude, they're hard work considering the crappy quality of my gifs. /fail =( Albeit, the camera cuts make it hard to isolate just one section. Though it is really cool watching it frame by frame.

With the end of 'Genie' promotions, maybe the girls can fulfill that wish of taking a vacation together? )
