I do agree with you about straying so much from the original composition of a song to market it to a broader audience. Sometimes I like for the originals to be left as is for the most part, hence why I typically don't like remixes or listen to them. But it is interesting to hear different versions of a song because sometimes they turn out awesome.
Anyways, my mom preordered Girls' Generation - All About Girls' Generation "Paradise in Phuket" 6DVD + Photobook set last night for my birthday! I can't wait to get it! I didn't know about SNSD in the beginning of their career so to be able to experience seeing them in the early stages of the career is a real treat!
