[HD] Girls' Generation - The Boys - David Letterman 1-31-12

[missaliceyuki]

Is it just me or is it faster? (the bits that are the same as the normal version)

[mssiti08]

@maplegreendodo so your really not interested in US pop and its Katy Perry,and Rebbeca Black

[TheLkgds]

GG good

[marinolcutie143]

There happened a YulSic moment in here! Yuri took the TRX part, hahaha!!!

YULSIC SHIPPER

and Congratulations to them and to us SONES who voted

they won the Popdust poll!

[uAfooLOL]

For everyone else besides the Japanese crusader....if anyone thinks Kpop artists are living in poverty, you're a fool. Their contracts may not be as lucrative as some American pop artists, but none-the-less, millionaires are being produced. Make no mistake about it.

These artists KNOW what other artists are making internationally. They're not dumb!

[allghilliedup21]

And besides, America can have Nicki Minaj. We don't want them corrupting our young nine girls. Eff you, American music industry.

[allghilliedup21]

Why are you all pointlessly fighting and arguing? You really think these girls give a shit about if they succeed in America or not? They already have millions of fans around the world, fans who are dedicated and accepting of new music. France, Korea, Japan, China, Thailand, most of Asia, and a lot more fans around the world will stand with them through everything. If they fail in America, they'll just pick themselves up and continue on.

[calmincense]

@allghilliedup21 Kpop has a bigger market in the U.S. than France. Soompi visitors (%): 25.9 South Korea 16.2 U.S. _4.7 France Allkpop visitors (%): 16.0 South Korea 13.2 U.S. <1.9 France Allkpop ranks 6,762 in the U.S., but 10,378 in France.

[AyuChanz13]

omg they came to america and sang the boys!!! im stoked i wanna see them one day XD

[stoneh2ovino]

America needs to be more morally discerning than France. These K-[pop companies are pure SCUM. SM originated slave contracts. JYPE...google: JYP admits Wonder Girls lack insurance. Please do not support K-pop. It is a morally bankrupt "art" form.

[MisterAngryPenguin2]

@stoneh2ovino

Of course their contracts are corrupt. But I really don't see how you telling ppl not to support their music helps the girls. The thing that makes the hell their company puts them through worth while is the love of fans. I always hear it in interveiws. Their only hope of getting out of these contracts is getting big enough to stand on their own, you sir are a bastard for telling ppl not to support these hardworking girls.

[uAfooLOL]

@stoneh2ovino - Are you lobbying for more "humane" treatment of Kpop artists? Or are you simply on a mission to expose Kpop as "inhumane." There's a big difference.

If Kpop remained confined exclusively to S.Korea....would you really care? Would you still make a big deal out of it? Are you on a mission to help, or a mission to destroy?

Does your mission also apply to Jpop artists or only Kpop?

Arigato!

[EJCLProductions]

Some people are so ignorant. America is full of different people and they all came from different places. But this country won't welcome new kind of music. Kpop is a music genre that had already changed the world. France, for example accepts new music. I saw an interview that says that France enjoys listening to other country's songs such as American songs. I hope America can accept these girls. And for you kpop fans, don't bash SNSD because this is one more step for YOUR idols to be near YOU.

[stoneh2ovino]

@EJCLProductions Hello. You neevr heard of slave contracts? SM pioneered slave contracts.

[calmincense]

@EJCLProductions The largest market in the world for world music is the U.S.

Putumayo World Music is based in New York City.

[stoneh2ovino]

Even Bill Murray thinks K-pop sucks. Look at the expression on his face: "WTF was that?" he seems to be thinking. :P

[MsTali91]

Im watching this at least once a day

[stoneh2ovino]

Hello. K-pop is not cool. Didn't SM...the entertainment company of these girls...start the whole "slave contract" system in Korea? It is disgraceful they were on an American TV show even though they fell flat on their face here. Teddy Riley? Lee SM...you put your money on Teddy? ha ha ha...he delivered NOTHING for you.

[EJCLProductions]

@stoneh2ovino oh shut up, you really don't know anything, do you?

[iheartkpop2]

SONES PLEASE VOTE @ popdust.com/pop-off/

[iambeanlah]

US SONES, WAKE UP AND VOTE ;d

[outlander1999]

PLEASE VOTE FOR SNSD!!! HELP OUR GIRLS WIN! @ popdust.com/pop-off/

[seoyeonist]

Seoyhun did the backup voice for almost every part of the song.. Have a look!!!

[seoyeonist]

Seoyhun did the good job at 'you don't pretend that you didn't noti..'. Her voice is now so powerful -- love you seo!!

[Rei7aan]

LOL@ Sunny in the first few seconds :P she was laughing to be standing like that for a while P=XD

[monslafayette]

Regis can barely contain his...excitement

[imdcutest143]

too bad u.s people needs more s3x videos and drugs to entertain than to watch sing and dance perfectly at the same time...what a taste??  kpop is the best!!

[vietkpop]

SNSD so cute>>>>#

[kpopsones]

lol at sunny from 00:03 - 00:30

[frotjeans]

KPop in the US is overblown. I have yet to hear them on the radio nor see them in the itunes or billboard charts.

[maplegreendodo]

@frotjeans Because Kpop sucks 

[SYMBV1]

@maplegreendodo not as much as US pop

[maplegreendodo]

@SYMBV1 of course US pop is much more horrible than Kpop

Lady Gaga

Kate Perry(whatever the hell her name is)

Justin Bieber

Rebecca Brown

However Kpop is horrible in its own rights

[SYMBV1]

@maplegreendodo so your answer does not really answer frotjeans observation.

[calmincense]

@maplegreendodo Justin Bieber is from Canada.

And Rebecca Black has ALWAYS been a novelty. Her horribleness is the ENTIRE REASON she got famous in the first place.

Examples of American pop:

- Bruno Mars

- Brandi Carlile

- Ingrid Michaelson

[maplegreendodo]

@calmincense Yeah but Justin Bieber is considered an American pop artist.

[haniwa96]

LIKE! <3

[TampaRed]

In the words of Homer Simpson, booooorrring. 

[TheJackytoronto]

I never found these girls interesting at all.. Like I never hated them and never liked them. They were just another group I knew of but didn't pay attention to..

And well.. I still don't care about them lol.. but.. after asking my friend who the girl at 1:56 is.. I found myself realllllllyyyy attracted to "Soo young"? haha.. She's a stunner =)

[SeaGreenCP]

SUNNY<3

[snsdsoshi100]

SNSD you are awesome

[phamtrungnguyen9cpct]

[soFLYjlayne]

2,399 are missin' out on these girls! GO GIRLS GENERATION!!!

[lived4th]

wow, props for them for getting a like the perfect show to get publicity. wonder how they got to perform there but not other artists like Boa or Se7en.

[ARASHILOVESMEXD]

OMFG. O___________O

They Should Of Had A Bigger Place To Dance In...The Place They Had The Dance In Looks A Bit Small, Compared To How The Stages Are Bigger In Korea ...

[ejrobinson]

Their choreography is always brilliant; such a great performance. Glad they're getting more recognition worldwide. Now they need to come to the UK! :D

[0remexi]

did anyone notice seohyeon hit sunny in the face at around 01:30??? it was so funny.

[DSQueenie]

is it just me or are they really hard to understand? I couldn't tell if they were singing in english or korean in some sections of the song.

[jewtheripper]

@DSQueenie no speaka da engrish?? their english is clear. they know how to speak english.

[TheBabyCurlz]

YAYYYY SOOO PROUD OF THEM!!! :D

[swttswtt113]

NONE of them lip sync

But yoona's voice is quite weak and seohyun did the backup while yoona was singing her first line

[selkieslol]

SNSD wasn't some secret obscure band when you liking it, and it CERTAINLY isn't now that they're in mainstream western media.

People share mutual interest with you, deal with it, internet.

[MinratrusPrime]

What the...nine beautiful woman dance beautifully and flawlesly and you give a foot ball? Why whY would you do that?

[SWalkerTTU]

@MinratrusPrime It was the only sort of trophy he had at hand.

[vampirediariesmomsen]

Why did Yoona and Sooyoung lip sync? It was obvious they were the only ones who did.

[mrRonLu]

@vampirediariesmomsen Yoona was singin' just Soo

[XxPlushiesxX]

the english version doesn't feel right.

[silentdaffodils]

I love SNSD...but I dislike this song.

[shineetatokibum]

wao..... son las mejores!

[HauntedEdd]

i'm so proud of them.. .<3

[Misfile17]

I dont normally post comments like this but * sigh * Thumbs up if you were a fan of K-pop before GIrls generation appeared on American TV

[wesleyis16]

@Misfile17 Then don't. Seriously, why would you even start? You yourself seem annoyed with them so why would you begin yourself?

[MidnightFlower13]

@Misfile17 Well, now it's time to share with the rest of the world. ♥

[SaveaChicken]

Just like Regis, I went "Whoa" too!

[SNSDIsBest1]

Liek SNSD

[vmlee]

they put american people to shame. we asians are awesome and rock!!!!!!

[calmincense]

@vmlee

"Hometown: FRESNO, CALI BABIY!!!!!!!!!"

*facepalm*

YOU *ARE* AMERICAN!!!

[GibbyVee]

@vmlee fuck outta here

[jiehyun89]

@vmlee

Assuming you're American, you're a disgrace to your country.

[joshmdmd]

@jiehyun89 lee is an asian last name 98% of the time.



[jiehyun89]

@joshmdmd Someone from Fresno, California is an American 98% of the time.

[joshmdmd]

@jiehyun89 from doesn't mean born in engrish.

[jiehyun89]

@joshmdmd Engrish? Huh? The point is, he's an American, talking about "American people" as if he wasn't one.

[joshmdmd]

@jiehyun89 oh yeah America is a melting pot, forgot about that. Here in Canada immigrants can keep their cultures and aren't expected to discard them. There is no such thing as Canadian to Canadians, except for those born in Canada.

[jiehyun89]

@joshmdmd This has nothing to do with that. American and Canadian nationality are the same concept.

"There is no such thing as Canadian to Canadians"

Uh...what? So being a citizen of Canada isn't enough to make you considered a Canadian? And that's supposed to be a good thing?

Besides, this guy WAS born in the US. He lists his hometown as FRESNO.

[joshmdmd]

@jiehyun89 oh and reading through that description and recent activity.. says it all.

[katanawarrior2008]

@vmlee Shameful

[thatpinaychiki]

JESSICA! <3

[MasourOMG]

LOL Sunny 's so cute at the first ;))

[dekloveymk]

1:18 Yoona (the face aka im choding)

1:30 Seohyun (the maknae or youngest aka unique)

[GirlGamerReallywild]

This space is too small for them to dance. Its also sad that they havn't got publicity like this before in America until they release thier songs in English. I think they should have performed in Korean XD

[SuperHhhbk]

THUMBS UP IF YOUR A CANASIAN!!

[maihimechan]

i dont like this song in english but i think they did an excellent job in their debut!! <333333 SNSD rocks!

[choyeuy]

at 1:30, is sunny getting slightly hit by the maknae? lol

[ninidarkangel98]

@choyeuy Haha yeah, i saw that too. xd

[88brokenglass]

does any1 think that sooyoung is damn hot n sexy??

[Sabeulina]

@88brokenglass <3

[trixchialoveskimchi6]

IMO the korean version of the song is much pleasant to hear than the english version

[JADECish]

I can tell they were a bit uncomfortable. I mean the space is really kind of small for their group. They don't want to hurt each other like in their song 'Genie'. But, not bad for there first performance there. People will think that they're somewhat like pussycat dolls but i hope it will change. Let's face it they kinda are specially with that style of music. I feel bad for Sunny right before the performance.... hahahaha I bet she knew she was being filmed with that pose....

[10MTimHolst]

All right girls, now I am out what can I do for you? Strangle that guy with the annoying whistle? You got it.

[JADECish]

@10MTimHolst What's wrong with the whistle? C'mon give him a break he just wants to act silly.... No big deal...

[chilsung13]

[rockluver84]

[Dopestarslove]

So proud of my babies <3

[leonyu87]

[GorgeousSexyGirls]

to me, this was embracing. the remix is horrible

seemed awkward. only good thing about this is the tights on sooyung, yuri, and yoona.

seeing bill murry next to seohyun was funny though

[navim589]
