Okay, HOTTESTS YOU MAY SCREAM! *Covers Ears!* OMG! Aren't you excited? 2PM's new album has been released. Titled, 1:59PM, What's the meaning behind it? LOL! Anyways, it's a great album with great songs and I would like to compliment Heartbeat from the bottom of my heart! Anyways, you're Tired Of Waiting for me to stop rambling right? Anyways, here's my review of the album. Again suggested songs are in bold!Oh and note to those who are boycotting the album because of Jaebeom. Please don't boycott. 2PM is still 2PM. It's unfair to the rest of the members. It's not only Jaebeom who works hard! It's everyone else. Boycotting the products would truly be unfair and instead we should support the remaining members and just let Jaebeom's issue resolve itself! Jaebeom Hwaiting, but in general 2PM HWAITING!
Can you feel my heartbeat?
1. My Heart
The intro. I happen to like it! I love the WHY? WHY? It's just a hot intro! VERY HOT! I can't stop it now. I don't know why I'm like this. I'm still into you. My heart is still beating .. for you. GOD! The English is pretty good too. Anyways, NEXT!
2. Heartbeat
OMG! This song is the definition of sexy, hot, and unique! God, I can't stop listening to this song! It's just so good! JYP, You are so awesome! JYP also known as Park Jin Young personally produced this song and you know what, IT'S IMPRESSIVE! The background uses the heartbeats of the actual members! GOD THIS SONG IS LIKE HEAVEN! IT'S SO GOOD!
3. Tired Of Waiting (기다리다 지친다)
Another great song! I do prefer Heartbeat more though! Great beat! It sounds too much like Betrayed. They just recycled the beats and pitches and stuff, but anyways it's good! :D
4. I Was Crazy About You (너에게 미쳤었다)
I really love the beginning, with the footsteps + splashing! It sets up such a great beat for the song. I love the beginning a lot, especially the part where the part where they say "She's Gone" (Is that what they're saying?). Anyways, great song! I didn't like it that much at first, but now I know it's great! :D
5. Gimme The Light
Maybe it's just because I love 2PM, but this song isn't bad either. It's pretty good being that many other albums just B.S. songs to fill in space and this song is actually really good. GIMME THE LIGHT GIMME THE LIGHT! :D Check plus!
6. Back 2U
Yup, This one's good too! Next!
7. All Night Long
This one's not bad. Except the English in the beginning sounds a bit weird. I like the song! The melody is pretty!
8. Heartbeat (Red Light Mix)
Not the best song. I'm not too fond with Korean remixes. No offense, but I've heard many remixes of Korean songs and they sound too O.D.ed. This one's not that bad! It's acceptable, but big difference from the original
No need to explain. This song is self-explanatory.
10. Only You (Acoustic Mix)
Again with the remixes. Next!
11. Again & Again
Once again, self explanatory. NEXT!
12. 니가밉다 (Lounge Mix)
Remixes Issue - NEXT

Now for the big question: WERE THESE RESULTS FAIR?
There has been a lot of controversy over the distribution of the daesangs. For example 2NE1 winning the Song of the Year. Was it really the most popular song? I mean yes, it was a good song, and yes it was popular, but is it right for a rookie group to get the award and being that there were other songs that could match I Don't Care. No doubt they were the best newcomers but seriously. I love how allkpop uses the Tell ME vs. Lies issue!
Now for G-Dragon winning Album of the Year! Okay Heartbreaker was the winner based on sales, but besides sales and profit (cough cough) there are many other factors to account for. For example was the album appropriate. It's not for minors! Another thing, ALL THAT CONTROVERSY BEHIND IT! What is Mnet trying to do? Raise controversy for higher ratings? Seriously, not all the songs on the album were good and I feel that the album is highly overrated. I would prefer Sorry Sorry over it, but of course we must account for the Mnet VS. SME thing in this issue! But still, was it appropriate for G-Dragon to win that award? Did he deserve it? Notice how YG has two of the main awards (Mnet is a shareholder of YG! COUGH COUGH COUGH!) Anyways, once again debatable! To be honest G-Dragon scares me so, no thank you! 
Now as for T.V.X.Q, was the reason they showed up because Mnet now has their backs? Was this to raise controversy and aid Mnet's grudge against SME? I don't know, but you know what? The appearance of the three members has great significance and I can't stress my appreciation for allkpop's deep analysis of this issue! Seriously? I mean seriously? When will this stupid thing end already? Mnet wants to distribute, but you know what Mnet? SME has a choice. You don't hate someone because they don't aid your profit! Same for SME! These two companies, all they care about it PROFIT! Once again, this stupid issue is getting on my nerves.newSS501 fans, you may now scream! *COVERS EARS* Anyways, yes, you too should be excited! SS501's new mini album, Rebirth has been released! This mini album is just amazing: catchy and catchy! Once again, suggested songs are in bold!
1. WASTELAND
OMG! This song is hot! I love the soft and pretty piano part in the beginning! The hey fits in well, but the se se part is just weird for some reason! Anyways disregard the part with the se se. Anyways, I love how they build up on the beat in the song. The chorus is hot! It's catchy! It's just WOOT! You'll love the song! Period! NEXT!
2. Love Like This (네게로)
I know you people will love this song! Well at least I love it! This song is currently my ringtone, so is there really a need for an explanation? Woah that sounded so mean! Bad! LOL! Anyways, very catchy song, very very catchy! Once again it's stylish! I really love this song and I love it as much as I love Wasteland! LOVE NAEGE WA, NEON LIKE THIS, SO LOVE, GIDARAIN NEORAN GIRL, TRUE LOVE! OMG THIS SONG IS SEXY! WOOT! Okay, I should stop! I'm totally overreacting over a song! Or maybe it's just that good? Yup! It is! :D
3. 하루만
This song has the opposite mood of the first two songs, Wasteland and Love Like This! This song is more like the "traditional" SS501! This song is so beautiful, though the chorus is not as beautiful as I wanted. It's a bit nasal and I feel like it could be better, but it's fine! I feel that the sudden dramatic piano part after the first chorus is slightly weird, but whatever! Just listen to it! It wont hurt you!
4. Obsess (중동...)
Not an overly big fan of this song! It's okay! Not the best but it'll pass for being a good song. I'm obsessed with you, wanna be with you! The English is so weird especially the accent on sessed that makes it sound like shessed with you with a a weird tone. LOL! It's okay! :D
5. 완.두.콩.
I don't know why, but I tend to have a love for these romantic sounding guitar parts! God I'm so girly! :D It just seems so sweet and touching! The vocals aren't bad! I like this song! This song is really sweet! The chorus is not as pretty as I expected, but from Monday to Sunday night~ It's fine! :D Anyways I hope you like this song!
By the way, it makes me laugh, how Hyun Joong looks so funny in this album cover! He's in the middle for those of you who are having trouble figuring out where he is!

2. Calling You (부른다)
2NE1 fans, you guys are probably excited for this because 2NE1's Park Bom has released her first solo digital single, You & I! This song is absolutely beautiful because no matter what happens, even when the sky is falling down, I'll promise you that I'll never let you go! Wait, what? Sorry 'bout that! LOL! Not only is the song good, but so is the music video! It's so touching. Park Bom really has a great voice, a really unique one too! You and I, together, it just feels so right~ Okay! Just make sure to check it out! It's a digital single, so there's no purchase link available! :D Enjoy! Bravo! Congratz to Park Bom!Well, SHINee fans are going to be excited, because their mini album, 2009,Year Of Us has been released! Now I will provide you with the tracklisting for EP and what I think about the song! Recommended Songs will be Italicized!
The first track, Y.O.U is recommended because it's a good song. -.- That was nonsense! LOL! Anyways, this song is very unique. It brings back feelings of the past, the music the kind of melody, and other factors! But, WOW! this song is hot and I can even go as far as saying this song is sexy! LOL! The chorus is just amazing. I think you'll like this song! :D Most likely, you'll like it!
2. Ring Ding Dong
The second track, also the title track Ring Ding Dong is also recommended! This song is just so unique! The beats and style are pretty different for the usual SHINee songs we hear! Plus this song is extremely catchy and yes, this one is HOT! WOOT! LOL! The melody and music fits so well together! Go SHINee! Also, for those who think that Juliette failed (I didn't), this song probably made up for it right? I don't care! I'll take that as yes! LOL! Anyways, I hope you love the song 'cause it's FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC FANTASTIC ELASTIC ELASTIC ELASTIC ELASTIC!
3. Jo Jo
This third track, Jo Jo is not as unique as the first two songs, but you know what it's a good song anyways! I don't really want to elaborate that much on this song, because I feel like promoting the top two songs are enough, but you know what? I love this song, so I'll do it for the sake of it! :D I love the chorus and once again this song reminds us of the past, not as much as Y.O.U, but still HOTNESS! This song has a more "cool" feeling! Anyways, you'll love this one too!
4. Get Down
To be very honest this song has good beats, but I'm not that fond of it. I mean the beginning is pretty, but then the song gets weird! It's just not that good! i mean the melody can get pretty at parts, but then this song isn't typically my favorite! I like it though, but it's just not as good as the first 3 songs!
5. SHINee Girl
Once again same as Get Down, not typically my style, but it's okay! I like this one too, but it's once again not as good as the first three songs!
6.내가 사랑했던 이름
I love the fact that this song is piano and guitar accompaniment. I find that both instruments sound great together. I would recommend this song because it's pleasing to hear. It's such a romantic song and at a part I felt so touched by the singing. Awkward for a boy to say! LOL! :D Anyways, enjoy it! If you can't read the Korean tell me! I'll post the English title! I should just do it now, but I don't bother! LOL! OH AND I FORGOT! Beautiful high notes at the end!
Enjoy the mini album! It's great! SHINee FTW!
