Korea's Got Talent: Finals (Aug 2011)

The finals are finally here!

winner: Min-Jong Joo (Poppin dance)
2nd place: Sung-Bong Choi
3rd place: IUV

Ha-Joon Kim: This is the sand artist. I like his art.



Tae-Hyun Kim: This is the little girl who sings in English. She is singing "Heal the World". It was okay, but I think she made the wrong song choice.



Jong-Hwan Kim: This is the flexible b-boy. Its mostly showing off his flexibility.



I Big Harmonica Ensemble:They are really good! I enjoyed this performance!



Min-Ji Kim: This is the blind girl with the amazing voice. She did a great job, but didn't even make it to the top 3.



IUV: They are funny but I think their audition was still the best performance. They won 3rd place.



Chan-Yang Kim: I like this dance.



Sung-Bong Choi!!!He did a great job. He got 2nd place. (I think he should have won!)



Escape: the magicians.



Min-Jong Joo: This is the winner. why did she beat Sung Bong?

Music Video: Rain "Busan Woman"

Rain is my favorite Korean artist!! I'm sad that I never got to see him in concert. Right now he is touring Korea on his last tour before he enters his mandatory army service for 2 years. If I would have stayed in Korea this year I would have got to see him.

Korea's Got Talent Semi-Final week 5 (Aug 2011)

I like their dance routine.



This was one of my favorites from the audition rounds (ep 5). I had been waiting to see what he would come up with next. He is so silly. He is good at playing the piano, but his excitement is a bit disturbing.



I like her dress and the fireworks on stage. The performance was okay, but I don't think she was on key. "Firework" sounds like it would be a hard song.



This belly dancing was okay, but not good. The first minute was just weird. The other belly dancer in an earlier round was a lot better.



I didn't really like this performance. I think the singing woman was unnecessary in my opinion. The first 1:48 could have been omitted.



This illusion was pretty cool. I loved the facial expression of the middle judge. She looked so surprised.



I like this performance. He is really flexible!



She has a great voice.





What are your favorites? I like the 6th, 7th, and 8th video.

Korea's Got Talent Semi-Final week 4 (Aug 2011)

This is a dance group. They had an 'Alice in Wonderland' theme. I liked when they brought out the flags. (I was a colorguard in high school). I liked this routine.



She sang "Reflection" in English. I love that song! She did a good job. Good pronunciation. I would have liked to hear some of the more difficult parts and making it her own.



This is the mentalist. I can't really judge how this one went since my Korean skills aren't up to par. I'm guessing it didn't go too well since he got buzzed twice.



This guy is playing with a yo-yo. I like when he has a glow in the dark yo-yo.



These kids did a good job. I like their outfits.



I like his performance. I wish I knew the name of the instrument. Anyone know?



This is IUV. They are funny, but their audition was a lot better than this performance.



I don't really like the poppin' style of dance, but she's pretty good. I like the graphics in the background.
