SONG OF THE DAY

John Legend – “Everybody Knows.” I went to John Legend’s concert this week, so now I have all his songs running through my mind. He is too adorable. Although I did find myself wishing he sang about something other than girls, love, sex. Don’t get me wrong, he’s awesome regardless. But that man sure knows a lot (lot, lot) of ways to sing about sex. [ Download ]

I always thought he looked a little Asian especially the eyes. I love the way he dresses. Yes, he does sing a lot about sex but he does it in such an easy breezy laid back funky romantic style so it's pleasant. I love this song. Wouldn't it be great if Boys before Flowers had some lighthearted similar songs. MG's soundtrack was light and easy and that was one of it's charm. I would love to see LMH dancing to this. I am so crazy about LMH I am a little embarrassed.

john legend is awesome. and yes, he can sing about sex a hundred ways, and that gets really tiresome. but when u're in the john legend mood, they all sound so great. i just love his voice and that weird rough/smoothness going on. hard to describe it. how was the concert? funnily enough i was in a small hippie bar here in hong kong and they were playing his concert DVD. so it was weird that you had this song up when i got home. :))

Btw, love Star's Lover's OST too. Finally, a good OST. Last year was quite unspectacular. (is that a word?)

So how important do you think a person has to be to warrant a police motorcade with a dozen motorcycles, half a dozen cars, and a ride in a limo? A foreign dignitary? A cabinet member? Thoughts?

I'm excited about the Inauguration, but I resent living and working so close to the White House and the fancy hotels. It completely ruins my commute because the police are going to be shutting down roads left and right.

Perhaps I'll keep my eye on the Four Seasons during lunch to see what president/PM/actor/actress checks in for the weekend's festivities.

I am so close to a cranky pants weekend, the only saving grace being a kdrama catch-up-a-thon and the AFC/NFC championships. Is it wrong that I'm smitten with Kim Bum? Darn you popular drama!

Hey, liked the choice of song! If you're looking for some good lyrics try the newish Darius Rucker CD. I know it's sort of country [I'm not a country fan myself] but it is the best CD I've heard all year.

Have you heard his "If Your Out There" song? That one isn't about sex:)...I'm jealous I want to him live one of the days.

I've been to two of his concerts and I loved them. He puts on a great show. He's a cutie pie.

Very nice John Legend song. Admittedly, I know little of his music but this song seems more upbeat than I thought his music tended to be (and if it's actually more laid back than is his usual then my ignorance has just been highlighted). Are the rest of the songs on Evolver this good?

Also, saw the first episode of Hometown Legends and found the ending anti-climactic and disappointing. Maybe it was my insomnia, affecting my judgement, or so I'm hoping since I'd wanted to like that episode. Ah well, several more await and with them, more possibilities.

Hometown Legends. The drama of hope.

Hi! I've started watching My Name is Kim Sam-soon this past week. Just out of curiosity, why is the name Sam-soon considered an embarrassing name?

Thanks!

"Sam-soon" is undesirable for a few reasons: first, it's old-fashioned. Second, it's really generic, because the "sam" part comes from the number 3, and "soon" is a feminine name suffix (like -ko in Japanese). Notice that her older sister, the second daughter, is named Yi-young, where the "yi" comes from the number 2.

So, "Sam-soon" is a lazy way to name a third daughter, literally suggesting "girl 3."

The reason she calls Sam-shik that, then, is because "shik" is the male equivalent to "soon" -- which is like saying "boy 3."

tokai - how's Seoul Warrior Story? Interesting?

docmitasha - concert was great. he's fabulous live, and has a really good energy -- pumped, but not manic or too much. Dele - yep, he closed with "If you're out there," to which i remember thinking, "See how good he can be when he goes beyond? i wish he did that more often." Evolver's a good album ("satisfaction," "no other love") but i prefer his first, and "Ordinary People" remains my fave song.

Em - if it's wrong to be smitten by Kim Bum, i suspect you've got a lot of "wrong" company. of course, i find him adorable but he's way too young for me to crush on, so i see him as a ridiculously cute little bro.

oh john legend! my two favourites are save room and ordinary people! but after a while, his songs tend to start sounding similar. which isn't necessarily bad, they just become rather indistinguishable. i would think he's lovely and charming in concert though, you lucky thing!

and i'm waiting for next week's boys over flowers! yay :D
