I'm cringing with you..
I like Heechul (don't really know the rest of them) and want to say something to compliment him, but this is just embarrassing. I don't know what made them go with this concept, but as a huge fan of The Beatles.. I don't really have anything positive to say.

I completely agree with you about the personality thing though.. Many times I find myself liking artists/actors for who they are rather than their skills. haha;;;

Yes, it's hard not to cringe. I'm a HUGE fan of The Beatles too, and frankly, I do not like this "imitation" of them at all. But this is only a personal opinion. Haha, I don't want to offend all the Super Junior fans out there.

it's quite watchable if seen as a reality show (boyband members put up to challenge of referencing something out of their league...) :D
the songwriting is so strong, their beauty even comes through any butchering :)

Anyone who likes the Beatles is okay in my book. The boys, themselves, were often put into the position of playing dress up and clowning through photo-ops etc. They'd probably be the first ones laughing along with the bit. Of all of the great music that Beatles made that has remained such a staple in the soundtrack of my life, I think I like the "mop top" era the best. Seeing them imitated in those suits from the black and white age brought a smile to my eyes.

As for my ears, didn't those Beatles cuts playing in the background sound great?!!

are they imitating FT Island next???lol

It's a valiant effort, I guess. Though a bit hard to watch. I totally want to see them do "Bohemian Rhapsody" by Queen. XD

i AM a super junior fan, but choose not to watch this, LOL.

You made several points that I agree with wholeheartedly. First, that they were imitating the Beatles without really understanding who they were and what they meant. I suppose it's superficially entertaining as is, but I think it would be a lot more fun and interesting if they were trying to create something that reflected the that era and music.

(I guess I should qualify this by saying that I just finished watching the season finale of Mad Men. So I could be taking this waaayy to seriously.)

Second of all, in an era where variety shows are the primary way singers communicate with their fans, K-pop absolutely has become more focused on personality than talent as a result. K-pop is fun, but it's nice to remind yourself how good music can be. That's why I was SO GLAD to hear that Clazziquai came out with a new album. What a breath of fresh air!

hmmmm.....

What.. Is it..
I love Heechul and everything, but somebody needs to tell him that you don't your your right stick in a traditional grip.

I was cringing too.

I really am a Super Junior fan - Heechul and Kangin, especially! But I don't think I can keep watching this show.

Jungmo & X-mas's short "Let It Be" was pretty good. But.

During the perfomance at the end I was clutching my face and grimacing. Maybe it won't be so bad once they move on to other bands. Because while I love SuJu, I WORSHIP The Beatles.

bahaha. I so agree about kpop being a cult of personality. Because I'm not gonna lie. That's the only reason I like super junior. For their personalities. Not so much for their music. It's like...yeah, they seem like theyd be cool/fun people to be around. But I'm not going to be like, getting all hardcore excited when they release a cd or anything.

oh god forgive these kids, for they do not know what they're doing

lol.. i don't think they know what they doing
