Perfection


ONE FACT: I will never get tired of saying that among the idols today, Cho Kyuhyun of Super Junior is in the top list of the greatest idol-singers in South Korea nowadays.
Anybody who knows music and have listened to him singing will surely agree. Haters may contradict but exit’s to the left.
CHO KYUHYUN IS ONE OF THE BEST SINGERS HIS COUNTRY COULD EVER HAVE.
And I have his father to thank that he protected Kyuhyun’s dream after the member got into a terrible accident wherein he almost lost his ability to sing.
I am listening right now to his pieces in Immortal Song – the one where he did a rock song with Jungmo and the one he did with his sister (his winning piece!) – and I tell you, I can’t stop myself from smiling. Hearing his voice, it makes me prouder than ever for this kid.
He’s 24 but look at his prowess. Few years more and I know he’ll even be better.
I am actually lost for words now. I just really want to express how proud I am of him. :)
And I just want everyone to know how amazing it is to see his whole family in that show.
Ahra is a very beautiful lady, as well as his mom. And his father, my respect to his dad will forever be soaring high. And I hope that one day, I’ll get the chance to meet them and thank them personally for raising a wonderful person as Super Junior’s Cho Kyuhyun.
Congratulations, Maknae!!!

Struggles


I suppose, everybody have watched Kyuhyun’s Immortal 2 performance? Everybody had already marveled on his excellence in singing despite the not-so-good condition? Everybody had already seen how Kyuhyun gave his all in that performance and still don’t make it? Everybody already?
EXCEPT ME?
It’s not that I do not have time to watch it. You know me, I would do everything to hear Kyuhyun sing. But this is a different case. When the news about what happened broke out, I knew I could never see him in that state. When I heard that he couldn’t speak for a while during the performance, I was instantly reminded of the accident’s after-effects. Kyuhyun wasn’t able to speak for a while after gaining consciousness right?
And really, I know it’s stupid… but I am just not ready to see Kyuhyun struggling again.
It breaks my heart to see someone I love work hard to the point of sacrificing his health. And it will break my heart for sure when I hear him trying so hard to reach high notes when all he should do is to keep silent and rest.
I don’t know. It’s not that I cannot support him in times like that. It’s just that I don’t want to get reminded of everything again. I don’t want to entertain the ‘what-ifs’ that will come rushing to me – for certain.
I’ll just probably wait of the right time. I’ll get myself ready.

The Immortal Yesung


I have to admit something. This is the first time that I really gave attention to Jongwoon’s performance on Immortal Song. I depended on updates about it and never really cared to watch any episode.
But you know what? I regretted that. Because it feels like I have found a part of my lost self when I watched the most recent episode of Immortal Song.
With his piece, The More I Love, I tell you this: He is awesome. He is immortal. He is perfect in his own ways.
Seeing and hearing the Kim Jongwoon that I loved come up with such a powerful performance gave me goosebumps. Believe me, even if I am not an ELF right now, I would surely generate the same reaction because what he did there on stage was completely incomparable.
The moment he stepped on the stage with that all-black suit, I knew it will be something that will further make me proud of this man. And as he belted out the final tune and the drummer hit the cymbals as finale, I knew I was right.
The immortal Kim Jongwoon… He was really born to do this. His existence is for this. It is written in his destiny to completely awe his audience with his powerful voice and striking charisma when on stage. His stares are so melting and this truth further emphasizes his prowess.
(And I’ve got to thank the genius cameraman who genuinely knows which is the best camera technique and angle; and which is best transition technique to use for this song. It seriously added up to the awesomeness of this performance and Jongwoon’s immortality.)
I have said that he went off-key. Well, he really did. But then, here’s Yesung’s magic: The mistake suddenly became negligible as I get more and more immersed on the song. Undeniably, this is one of Jongwoon’s most beautiful and most powerful performances; and I am sure everybody will agree on it.
But really, no matter how beautiful the performance is, I can’t help but get distracted on how pale Jongwoon is!!!!! Well, it must be really so nerve-cracking to sing a piece on a contest in which the original singer is a judge.(If I’m not mistaken, it’s a Kim Tae Won song.) But damn, his lips are almost white. I know SJ boys love challenging themselves with things like this, but SM, I think it’s really better to take him out of there..
