It's not because there was a commercial like that in Italy, that entire Europe approves of it! (Don't wanna sound so harsh but please do not generalise Europe, every country has an different culture, different background etc.)
One think i really really like about your videos is the clear diction ^^ My english is not very good but thanks to your clear diction (and the subs ofc.) i can understand pretty much everything (:
@iLoveNickJay1 good job. dumb shit should be removed. dont be dumb enough to pretend every kpop song goes out of there way to shove english phrases (that are NOT used correctly) in their songs. copying the swag, the dance moves, everything.
half of kpop jacks hip hop, the other half jacks american pop groups.
Yeah, what DO you do- do you have other work besides blogging? And I realized I haven't watched American music videos or listened to American radio for a loong time.
I live in Australia and the people I show the kpop music videos too all say how much effort they put into the sets, dances, costumes etc. is really surprising .
LoL, I'm European, and I'm grown up in Italy, and personally I've always thought that American TV is dirtier, and vulgar. Well, I don't live there anymore, maybe things have changed...but I just lolled at Martina's comment XD
I remember when Mirotic was only able to show late night in Korea. My friend told me and I was like What O_o and it was because of the content of the lyrics
@miyulovespoprocks So they changed "under my skin" to "under my sky" in stage LoL. 2pm hands up was banned for children and teens because of lyrics "get your drinks up". So many song is banned...I know It's for the youth but...Its really.....
@leesol0812 yeah I guess being raised in America, like Martina said, I don't really think about how "explicit" it really is, but that's because I so use to it (I'm not sure where your from haha didn't want to jump to conclusions) but to me I think with half of the videos there are in America "Under my skin" isn't that bad and it's also a phrase used to when someone ticks you off XD
As an American I've not like the mainstream music since 1992 or so. Rap is the predominant theme and I get ill when I watch all these rappers acting like dicks, bein' so coo, treat'n women like hoes, talk'n ebonics.
So yeah, I looked other places for music. I found Alizee and Mylene Farmer from France.
And I found KPOP!!! I love the innocence and respectfulness of the Korean culture. It makes you realize how far hollywood has led the U.S. into the sewer.
Omg I live in Brazil and here we have a stupid kind of "music" (notice the ") called "Funk Carioca" wich means "hoe music that talks about sex". And there are these super plastic hoes shaking their butts around, and most ppl HATE IT! (For good's sake. But if you're brazilian you probably want to kill Michel Telló...Or you got problems.)
And I am like: "Omg! She so not did that!" and such the same for american pop vids and stuff. Guess I'm one of the last innocent teens here in this world. O_O
I'm from Europe and while nipples on tv is not something you see everyday, I gotta admit it happens ^^; I Doesn't mean everyone's used to it. i mean, imagine watching tv with your parents and then a body-wash commercial comes up and there's a girl running around completely naked...awkward =.=
omg and Justin Bieber in asia is very famous among the teenager, when i came to US i was surprised that they didn't like him...(i think JB's songs are very catchy and that time i wasn't good at Eng enough to understand the lyrics)
im asian i think US music is awesome, i hardy watch the MV, but listen a lot. about Kpop, honesty some boy band act too innocent= =" i don't know about the other EU except England give me a suggestion ?
@nidjiunanatshi totally agree, of course they are some exception, but yeah I'm pretty ashamed but it's not especielly France but Europe and noth america too. the only thing that I have to say is not every country in europe show nipples at least not in France but we do have A LOT of french kiss really a lot.
@simonandmartinabonus i dont get why korean say that american are more promiscuous because i just started watching korean movies and most like almost all of them where like pornographic!! i coundnt even watch them!!!
Lately, I've been watching a lot of K-pop, and so whenI just watched the video of Justin Timberlake, for a second I was really confused why there wasn't a dance or something... ^^
That was interesting to watch~ I find it's the opposite for Japanese students. I have heaps of Japanese friends who love American music. American music seems to be very popular over there, but Japanese music isn't as popular in other countries.
i have a feeling Koreans like Justin Timberlake alot. Take BIGBANG for example. They love Justin T. lol "When im drunk i think im Justin Timberlake" ~Lee Seung-hyun (Seungri)
I've been everywhere in North America. I am quite open to most cultures but it just blows my mind how innocent Koreans are. I am even planing on living there instead of Japan... Anyways I don't like most American Music Videos but I do tend to love the Koreans, and I'm Mexican. Lol.
@TheMonicaRules ya Japan kinda freaks me out a bit...their anime has kind of gotten warped to the point where its like anime child porn except legal. I also dont like most american MVs either =P
maybe I'm in a different Europe, but I've never seen nor even heard about females showing their nipples in videos, except for the rated ones of course...or am I in a wrong dimension? o.O ...
I've lived in Europe, and I definitely understand what you're saying about the nipples. And I'm asian (Kor, Jap, Viet, and Chinese). And I'm currently living in the US. So I know a lot about cultures. And personally I like K-Pop more than any type of pop. (Besides American classics, for ex. MJ)
To be honest...I don't even like North American music videos either, I like our music though. OK Go's videos are always interesting to watch...anyway...hip-hop and pop videos are just over the top...Who's "Hot Chip?"
@MoonRhi Well I'm sure you can... I think there is just a different thing you have to apply for. Simon let his contract expire first and worked on the vlog/blog while Martina continued teaching so I'm sure he was able figure out the visa situation while being able to stay because of Martina. And then when Martina's contract was up she was able to work out her visa. This is just me guess.... I would have to do some more reseach to know for sure.
@xxbleach97xx How much does YouTube pay them? I don't think they've ever revealed that... Shay Carl (another YouTube partner--paid vloger) is rummored to make about 100k from his vlog, but I think it depends on the traffic your channel gets and the ads that are clicked or watched all the way through... I'm not an expert this is just observations from my years as a YouTube user.
O________O pfffffff people need to get used to sex! It's not that bad really. You'll find if you stop getting hysterical over what's under everyone's clothes you'll start getting angry over more important things! And I don't really like K-pop it's too mainstream...please don't argue about that!
They were bored cause they couldn't understand the lyrics. When I listen to Korean ballads I think they are boring too but that is because I don't understand the true meaning of the song. If the beat isn't that good then its the lyrics that will get people and with Rap music that's really important. I may like the way a Korean rapper sounds but I'll never know if they're good if I can't understand what they're saying. It would be the same for them as well.
where do the people watch the full music videos in korea? like i know its banned on tv and stuff, but on youtube (at least in my country) i watch the whole things. like for Big Bangs music vidoes. for Seunguris Strong baby or their whole band song Tonight,,,,,those were edited for tv. so do the korean people never watch the full things? lol im confused on how that law works. :) someone help me?
I guess as an American, I didn't realize that I'm so desensitized to sexuality. One thing's for sure though: both north America and Korea put a huge emphasis on unobtainable beauty standards (even if they each have their own ideas about what is beautiful).
@KonnieNinjaMusic they would have fainted. i love panic.....but their music videos (at least some of them) could be considered porn in korea. :P just saying. hahaha. the studentsw would have died.
lol i've never liked american videos, whenever my friends talk about a video, i know the song and probably more song from the album than they do, but i didn't watch the video, cuz i really don't like videos here, especially since they don't really dance or anything... as much as i love Drake's music, the video for Healines was just him standing/walking and saying the lyrics...
when i show my friends a kpop video, the first thing they say is that they are amazing dancers...
You guys are the only few youtubers that i know seamlessly record video in one shot. Now thats narural talent and its much more personable to look at.
@keke555788 Well, our videos try to imitate American, and they just turned out to be really cheap and vulgar. You see a lot of vulgarity in North American videos, but at least they're not low-budget, if anything. >.<
The innocent part is what I like about k-pop, I don't have to worry about what I can and can't watch with my mom and little cousin around. We can all rock out to the songs together.I think Brian Joo's version of In My Head is the best example of how different k-pop style is from A-pop style.Our version just sounded so nasty to me after I read out the translation for the other version.Even my A-pop loving sister who's reaction was "Aww" to Brian Joo and "Oh...wow....." to the original lyrics XD
@awkwebum100 haha i love this channel but i am sorry but kpop and jpop etc music videos make me laugh. Yeah they are more proactive but shurgs lolz but either way there is nothing wrong with either!!!
American music vids, in my opinion, can't make it in Korea since of the content Kpop can be accepted into America though, for those who would watch a vid in another language(like me though i can't understand what they are saying i think kpop rocks) or if they already know Korean
How funny they were bored out by and didn't like American music videos very much, when their own 90% of Kpop music videos feature boring uniform dancing and closeup shots. 10x more boring then the so-called boring American videos.
As a white American, I definitely prefer K-Pop's current music to A-Pop's current music, and K-Pop certainly has fun, hot videos for girls to watch and it's more innocent and wholesome, but on the other hand their styles are VERY limited and can get very repetitive and boring over time (the whole boy/girl band formula with the dance box, obligatory rap solo and corny little ballad before the final chorus, etc). American artists and music videos tend to be far, FAR more varied and realistic.
@MusicBabeStar lolol i know what you mean LOL im from venezuela and everything is sooo.....yeah its better if they dont know what happens in latin america....
If you don't teach anymore, what do you do? My boyfriend and I would love to live in Korea, but he doesn't have a bachelor's in anything to get a teaching job.
I'm not Korean, and I was born and raised in California, but I never liked even 1 American song(or obssessed over)- somehow though, K-Pop really got me -3 maybe just cause I'm Asian XDXD
somebody should definitively show TVXQs ballons to an american class that knows nothing about k pop. they would probably die laughing. at first i was like this too. but after some while i came to totally love k pop.
but i also know a lot of american vids just have a bunch of girls shaking their butts the entire time. i still listen to NA music but i will always love kpop. most american songs suck b/c everything is about sex or drugs or partying but i also know that there are kpop songs out there that suck too. it really just depends on your taste. my bros make fun of me for liking kpop b/c everyone thinks the guys are gay but korea is a different culture so they view it differently.
i'm american and i find most kpop vids boring b/c most of the time it's practically just a dance video depending on the artist. i'm not into ballads so i don't watch the vids for those songs and usually ballads have good vids. i think a lot of american vids have cool concepts and they focus more on that and i think korea focuses more on the choreography and their image so girls can flaunt at them..
I think K-Pop music will make it to America to a certain extent.. Because we are a filthy country ;D and we like to see sexiness and stuff like that.. We are fine with seeing half naked men and women all over the place.. So I'm worried that Korean MVs will be too "clean" for north American viewers.. Like korean girls are sexy as crap I think and so are the men ooh myy gosh the korean men :P but will a fully clothed girl/boy group make it in america with how reserved and unnaughty they are? Hmm..
I'm glad they don't like North American videos LOL!! Some are good but so many are just uninspired and boring.. I'm especially happy they rejected Kanye West.
It seems like North American music makes it in Korea because on their game shows they dance to some NA songs also some K pop singers favorite singers are NA singers.
My Nepalese friends cringe at the sight Ov my Jamaican dancehall music videos for example Major Laxer's "pon da floor" (it is VERY sexual tbh) but the fact they cringe so much I guess it will be a very bad Idea if I bring it to Korea... I guess I'll have to ditch the dancehall when I go Korea.
I've never thought of that, Europeans showing nipples. But it's kind of true. In a Swedish children's film (Ronja Rövardotter or Ronia, the Robber's Daughter), there's grown up men running around naked. Like totally naked. So it's not only nipples...
Pretty awesome topic! This reminds me of that vid "Kids React to Kpop", and yeah, some of the kids were completely baffled by it and even pretentious. And when u said how they didn't like Kanye West or Lady Gaga- which most of us in English speaking countries accept- i think it goes to show how we're not any different than others people. It's normal to be confused by things we've never been exposed to.
lol at the students laughing at lady Gaga in BR.. xD i actually remember that i made an epic DERP face when i looked at that mv... i lo ve Ok Go! their vids are amazing! but Bieber... T__T WTH?!! no no no...

lol i've never liked american videos, whenever my friends talk about a video, i know the song and probably more song from the album than they do, but i didn't watch the video, cuz i really don't like videos here, especially since they don't really dance or anything... as much as i love Drake's music, the video for Healines was just him standing/walking and saying the lyrics...
when i show my friends a kpop video, the first thing they say is that they are amazing dancers...

The innocent part is what I like about k-pop, I don't have to worry about what I can and can't watch with my mom and little cousin around. We can all rock out to the songs together.I think Brian Joo's version of In My Head is the best example of how different k-pop style is from A-pop style.Our version just sounded so nasty to me after I read out the translation for the other version.Even my A-pop loving sister who's reaction was "Aww" to Brian Joo and "Oh...wow....." to the original lyrics XD

American music vids, in my opinion, can't make it in Korea since of the content Kpop can be accepted into America though, for those who would watch a vid in another language(like me though i can't understand what they are saying i think kpop rocks) or if they already know Korean

How funny they were bored out by and didn't like American music videos very much, when their own 90% of Kpop music videos feature boring uniform dancing and closeup shots. 10x more boring then the so-called boring American videos.
MrSoshiSoshiSoshi 1 month ago
As a white American, I definitely prefer K-Pop's current music to A-Pop's current music, and K-Pop certainly has fun, hot videos for girls to watch and it's more innocent and wholesome, but on the other hand their styles are VERY limited and can get very repetitive and boring over time (the whole boy/girl band formula with the dance box, obligatory rap solo and corny little ballad before the final chorus, etc). American artists and music videos tend to be far, FAR more varied and realistic.

but i also know a lot of american vids just have a bunch of girls shaking their butts the entire time. i still listen to NA music but i will always love kpop. most american songs suck b/c everything is about sex or drugs or partying but i also know that there are kpop songs out there that suck too. it really just depends on your taste. my bros make fun of me for liking kpop b/c everyone thinks the guys are gay but korea is a different culture so they view it differently.
reyanime 1 month ago
i'm american and i find most kpop vids boring b/c most of the time it's practically just a dance video depending on the artist. i'm not into ballads so i don't watch the vids for those songs and usually ballads have good vids. i think a lot of american vids have cool concepts and they focus more on that and i think korea focuses more on the choreography and their image so girls can flaunt at them..

I think K-Pop music will make it to America to a certain extent.. Because we are a filthy country ;D and we like to see sexiness and stuff like that.. We are fine with seeing half naked men and women all over the place.. So I'm worried that Korean MVs will be too "clean" for north American viewers.. Like korean girls are sexy as crap I think and so are the men ooh myy gosh the korean men :P but will a fully clothed girl/boy group make it in america with how reserved and unnaughty they are? Hmm..

It seems like North American music makes it in Korea because on their game shows they dance to some NA songs also some K pop singers favorite singers are NA singers.

My Nepalese friends cringe at the sight Ov my Jamaican dancehall music videos for example Major Laxer's "pon da floor" (it is VERY sexual tbh) but the fact they cringe so much I guess it will be a very bad Idea if I bring it to Korea... I guess I'll have to ditch the dancehall when I go Korea.

I've never thought of that, Europeans showing nipples. But it's kind of true. In a Swedish children's film (Ronja Rövardotter or Ronia, the Robber's Daughter), there's grown up men running around naked. Like totally naked. So it's not only nipples...

Pretty awesome topic! This reminds me of that vid "Kids React to Kpop", and yeah, some of the kids were completely baffled by it and even pretentious. And when u said how they didn't like Kanye West or Lady Gaga- which most of us in English speaking countries accept- i think it goes to show how we're not any different than others people. It's normal to be confused by things we've never been exposed to.

Simon's last statement is particularly true.
It is about culture. I adore Kpop
But when I showed it to a few of my cousins they just thought that all the men were gays and the girls were dumb.
And they only know about American things and aren't very multicultural. So it's mostly about culture and how open u r to ur music standards.
Personally, most American mv's aren't very good in my opinion.
