Psy is now on Ellen... Will he succeed beyond Gangnam Style?

[Zeze]

Few days ago, he was on MTV VMA for all the kids and young 20s.

Now on Ellen for all the moms:

Good for him. I really wish he enjoys sustained success in US, not just an internet flavor of the month.

Unlike many other manufactured K-pop boy/girl bands, this man has true talent (you should see his previous Korean concert vids, he absolutely tears the crowd, and amazing rapping).

Now let's speculate, do you think he'll hit past Gangnam Style in US? If so, what will he do- another catchy song in Korean? English?

 

[rasczak]

He won't unfortunately. This is a one and done thing. I do hope however, that he makes me eat those words.

I got the slight low down from my parents.

Gangnam = A beverly hills type area in korea.

OPAN = what younger people call their older peers. Although it's truly OPA instead of OPAN, but same meaning. He basically had no one call him OPA during his childhood days and just wanted to be called that so he just added it to his lyrics. So random yet so genius.

Just for you, sir. (from mister Ns1's original thread).

Britney didn't do the stepping right... she's supposed to be pro.

 

[manimal]

Britney looked classy until she spoke

 

[darkewaffle]

Nope, flash in the pan.

She looks like she's still high on meds. She never quite recovered from her batshit crazy days.

 

[Rastus]

He's the real deal. He's highly educated, writes his own music and lyrics, does all the choreography (Koreaography?), and has been filling arenas in Korea for years. It would be hard to call him a one hit wonder.

 

[mcurphy]

He seems like a cool dude, I hope he can enjoy some success in the US.

Oh he's a veteran in Korea for sure, where their own music landscape has many one-hit wonders too.

But does this mean he can stay relevant in US?

Yes- He got that Bieber agent, he's talented himself, writes own music/produces/dances, etc.

No- Gangnam Style was popular because of its quirky foreign charm going viral. I don't see how he can follow up on this- another Korean song for the US audience? If he gets a song out in English, it'll lose most of the charm.

Since he writes and produces I bet thats the direction he can sustain in the US. Labels pay out the nose for people that can polish a turd and make it sell.


see C-Lo

Britney is such an idiot. Ellen dances better than her.

 

[BoomerD]

Nope, flash in the pan.

Fuck...I hope so.

I'm curious why the OP is watching Ellen to begin with...that's a "bored housewife" show...:hmm:

Don't get jealous. Ellen is for everyone.

Lol, at the beginning of that clip, I was wondering who that clueless, scared-looking, fat-faced non-entity with way too much make-up around her eyes was.

 

[BoomerD]

Don't get jealous. Ellen is for everyone.

If you say so. BUT, you're wrong...

Yeah, because Spears is disgusting and fucking enormous!

 

[ViviTheMage]

nope

 

[rasczak]

If you say so. BUT, you're wrong...

That's why you've secretly DVR'd her show for the past 5 years... We know you're a closet Ellen watcher.

nope

Stop lying to yourself.

SHHHHH! quit giving away my secrets!!

 

[rasczak]

SHHHHH! quit giving away my secrets!!

No man! It's time for you to come out... Be Proud!

 

[diesbudt]

She hasnt really looked any different then she would have if she didn't act crazy.

I just feel her crazy episode now has tainted the way most people look at her.

I'd still do her.
