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?

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.

Korea's Got Talent Semi-Final week 3 (July 2011)

The Best..<--thats the name of the group! I love watching dance! If you are trying to impress the judges you need to have a better performance though. It was good. I just didn't think it was semi-final worthy. You have to really impress at this stage. I'd recommend some lifts and a higher level of difficulty. I think a routine in one style would be better than showcasing a lot of different styles. The yellow suit is hideous!



Why is this guy in the semi-finals? The judges seem to like it though.



I like this performance. Normally I wouldn't be impressed by someone just playing drums, but the dancers and the mixing thing he does really adds to the performance.



This was a good performance. They had a nice and interesting dance routine. Those b-boy moves are awesome! This is a semi-final worthy performance.



This kid is so cute!Great tumbling skills



I liked this. I would have enjoyed it more if I knew exactly what they were saying. The judges liked it.



He's a good piano player. He's also good at dancing and tumbling. He's cute!



I like his singing.

Korea's Got Talent Semi-Final week 2 (July 2011)

This is a dance crew. I like how the suits light up. I thought the performance was just okay. It didn't wow me.



He is singing "Ave Maria". I like it.



Martial arts meets jump rope...I don't really care for this one.



The belly dancer-Its good to see a girl with good self confidence esp. in a country where being that size is very rare. Koreans don't mind telling you that you need to lose a few pounds. She's good at what she does and she really enjoys doing it.




This guy breaks things with his hand. The judges Couldn't bear to watch it and gave him the "X".



Dancing, drums, tumbling, comedy-if you can't do just one thing why not just try a little bit of everything? The little kid is so cute! I don't think I like this performance. There's just too much going on.



This kid likes to sing in English. She sings "Somewhere Over the Rainbow". Why couldn't she hold a microphone instead of having it on her face? The pitch sounds off to me. Maybe she's singing in a higher key?



This one is unique and I like it. They are playing harmonicas. I've never seen a long harmonica before. I also like the dancing.



I wish I knew what the judges were saying so I could know whether or not they liked each act.

Which acts do you like? What is your favorite?

My favorite is the group playing the harmonicas.

Korea's Got Talent Semi-Final week 1 (July 2011)

I really like that they are so fast in putting the videos on their YouTube page!

This is a dance crew.



This guy is whistling a song. I don't know how this talent is really 'marketable'. Who would buy an album where someone whistles all of the songs? It's unique and no one has done it before, but I just don't care for it. I really don't understand why he made it into the top 40. What do you think?



I'm not really sure what this is. I think this needs subtitles so I can understand. If I knew enough Korean maybe it would be funny.



This guy is really good at sand Art. I like it.



I'm not sure about this one. I think there's only so much that you can do with beatboxing. His audition was better than his performance today.



This guy is doing fire dancing. He's very graceful. He puts on a good show. The music is nice also. I like the tree graphic at the end.



I like these kid's dance routine. I like the marionette theme. It was good, but could have been better.



Sung Bong Choi!

He's singing "Cinema Paradiso". It didn't take me long to recognize the song. It's a song from one of Josh Groban's albums. I think Sung Bong did a good job!! I think that its great that he branches out and learns songs that are not in his native tongue. I think he could be the Korea's version of Josh Groban someday. So far, He is my pick to win it all on Korea's Got Talent.



Who do you like out of the week 1 clips? My favorites are Sung Bong, fire dancing and sand art.
Predict who will go to the finals

These people didn't make it to the next round



Top 40-This video shows all the people who made it into the top 40.Some of my favorites were in this video: crazy piano guy (Yang Dae Yong), IUV, Choi Sung Bong, Kim Min Ji (blind singer), Kim Tae Hyeon (sang "Tomorrow"), Kim Jung won (flexible b-boy). They announce the entire top 40 at the end of the video.



Semi-Final Trailer:

This guy is a really flexible dancer. He calls himself a "flexible bboy".Some of the judges reactions are funny!



"A Moment Like This"



A collection of clips from people who got the "X"



A collection of various acts. I like the violin performance, the guy playing the instrument where you pluck strings and the last act that was doing cheerleading stunts.

Clips from Korea's Got Talent Episode 5 (July 2011)

This guy is a little crazy. He tunes pianos for a living. He also plays the piano. The piano is his girlfriend.



This clip is a blind woman (21) singing "Think of Me". She's got a good voice. I always like to see stories about people who have a disability, but they have a great talent. It's inspiring.



Sand art



Cute kids dancing to "The Shouts of Reds". I instantly remembered this song from 2010 World Cup promotions.



This guy is very accurate! He shoots the arrow and always hits his target. I don't think I'd let anyone shoot an arrow at me. I wouldn't care if they were the best in the world!



UPDATE JULY 2011: the first 4 clips made it to the Top 40!

Clips from Korea's Got Talent Episode 4 (June 2011)

Why do they only put English subs on random videos? I'm glad that they add some subs, but why only sub a few? W

Mentalist: Wow this guy has some long hair! He shocks everyone with his ability to read minds.How does he do it? Is mind reading an actual talent? Are there some sort of tricks involved?



"Cutie Pies"-kids who are dancing hip-hop, locking and poppin'



Wow these guys are really talented!



A clip of bad auditions:

The winner will receive the equivalent of $100,000 USD.

Semi-finalists will have the opportunity to sign with Sony Music.

(But what if they don't sing? A magician or a dancer wouldn't sign with a music label)

Korea's Got Talent: Sung-bong Choi

It seems like every talent show these days has at least one story that captivates everyone's attention. This time it is Sung-bong Choi on Korea's Got Talent. Sung-bong says he was left in an orphanage at age 3. When he was 5 he ran away because he was being beaten by people at the orphanage. He sold gum or energy drinks on the street for the next 10 years to survive. He got his GED for elementary and middle school. Then he went to high school.

When I was watching I was wondering how he would sound because he said "I'm not a good singer". Then he opened his mouth and it was great! He sang Sarah Brightman's “Nella Fantasia”. He made people cry with his performance.

Video from the Korea's Got Talent YouTube:



UPDATE JULY 2011: He made it to the Top 40 acts!!
UPDATE AUG 2011: He won 2nd place in the competition.
