Yeah, this song’s been on repeat for a couple of days now, and I’ve probably watched this clip 20 times in the last 3 days.
I mean, how could you not? These three girls can sing, and they look like they’re having the time of their life performing. Who honestly can resist bopping along with them?
Oh, I should probably give a little more context before I start rambling out of control again. This show is called Fantastic Duo – it’s a Korean Entertainment show that’s basically a song contest, but with a twist. A seasoned singer, or someone who is well-known in the industry, gets to pick someone to sing a duet with him/her after a few stages of deliberation. These people are mostly fans who get screened at the first stage using an app, then eventually get called up to the studio where they showcase their singing talent by singing a song sung by the well-known artist, usually by groups of 3. I’m not quite sure of the other intricacies of the show’s format, so pardon my inaccuracy if I missed some pertinent points. All I know is, it’s devilishly entertaining seeing these unknown talents complete against each other ala Battle Royale for a chance to sing a duet with their favorite artists.
Of course, this probably won’t make any sense if you are not particularly versed in the K-entertainment scene. You probably wouldn’t know who’s singing what, much less figure out who’s high or low tier on the list of celebrities participating on the show. Nevertheless, if you enjoy watching people showcase talent while having fun doing it, then you’d probably enjoy watching a clip or two of this show. Personally, it’s fun watching these normal, amateur singers shock these veteran artists with their song covers so I don’t mind the language barrier.
Here’s another one for posterity’s sake. The artist in the middle is Ailee, one of South Korea’s more well-known, modern-era vocalists. I’d probably say more, but then we’d be getting into technical stuff that no one really wants to read about. 🙂
