She didn't. She wrote the rap for both the Korean and English version.

All the boys, all the boys want my heart, better now how to rock and don't stop, oh gee we make you so hot, girls generation - we won't stop


By the way, why and why did Jessica and Tiffany approve of "we're born to win, Better tell all your friends 'cause we get it in".... We get it IN?? Why, why! It just sounds so wrong should have been we get it on or something. It's just like Jessica and Tiffany doesn't notice that they're singing "cauliflower" in flower power

[jennjenn2010]

Aren't they supposed to be coming out with a full english album?

[kimmeh]

An english version is confirmed?! When has that been confirmed? Thats great! I already showed the MV to a lot of my friends, and they love it. Sadly, they don't get into k-pop as easily as me. If it was in english, it could be a pretty big party hit!

(I even convinced a friend of mine to go for the 90s/hip-hop/grunge style they have in the MV and have a photo shoot! I looked on ebay for days! Ended up with tiffanys style, mostly. Just missing those shorts.)

That sounds fun. I do drag once in a great while and both times I did Girls Generation, didnt care that it was in Japanese or Korean. I had a lot of fun. I would love to get a replica outfit although for a fatter frame lol im a bit chubby.

Isn't Jessica's English better than Tiffanys? I never understood why Fany gets most of the English lines. It's a weird move by SM. Just like how they completely ignore that Sooyoung is fluent in Japanese and should get way more lines in Japanese songs. I bet the Japanese version of IGAB will end up with her getting no more lines than she already has.

What outfits did you go for? I love the oh! Cheerleader outfits too! And flower power. And RDR! They have so many great outfits. The GG girls have an average weight of 45kg or something, so in comparison, we all are a bit chubby

Thanks for the link!!!

Who could forget? Definitely one of their best songs.

[CoriKaru]

My only guess would be that Tiffany is more confident and has the attitude to pull the ad libbing off.

Jessica: "Here coooooooomes TROUBLE! Whoooooo!"

I think she could do it though.

Tifffany doesn't exactly sound thuggy hard when she says them.

[kimmeh]

@love in music

Yay for ignoring my favorite trio Soo/Yu/Hyo

They should be their own sub-unit. The rapping/dancing/looking delicious sub-unit of GG. SoYuHy? HySoYu? YuSoHy?

@CoriKaru: It would be ridiculously cute.
"Hereeee comes trouble, woooo~~!!!" *Wink and raise right leg*

[Possessionless]

Sooyoung isn't fluent in Japanese though? In fact none of them are I don't think

[Utena]

^ she is fluent. Seohyun isn't bad either but she's still learning.

[kimmeh]

^ Correct. Sooyoung was a part of a group called Route 0, and they had their debute in Japanese. According to some different sources, she also lived there for some time.

[Possessionless]

She's not fluent, take it from a fluent speaker, but she certainly has the best level of Japanese in the group!

[Utena]

There are levels in fluency. For a non-native speaker, she is the closest to what you could call being 'fluent'. But even native speakers cannot be 100% fluent anyways, if you take it to the letter. There will always be things you don't know about a language. I still learn things about my 1st language as of today, so I don't think anybody can know everything.

The thing is, we can understand her, she rarely makes any mistake -if any-, she's talking in a natural way adopting the language's stresses and intonation. That's the broad definition of being fluent (as opposed to acuracy).
Then again she may not practice Japanese daily and it's important for any speaker. You may tend to have blanks/blackouts and make mistakes but in her case, that's not the case. So far so good as we say.

I just recently got into f(x) for the first time and I am loving their "Electric Shock" Mini-Album. I knew about it when it came out but didn't care.

Which one is Jessica's sister again?

Jessica and Krystal have some kind of genetic *****face thing going on

Both of them often end up in the media being "criticised" for their facial expression when their natural/neuteral face just looks a bit "dark".



Jessica: Headbang criticism (keep in mind she was hospitalised after this) | bored face
Krystal: Krystal's "angry" face | Bored face

I hope the English album comes out August/September - gives them plenty of room for the Tour, Korean comeback and then frees them up for a few months in the US...

I'm not sure if I want heaps of English covers though, maybe Gee because it's their most well-known song, Genie for reasons, Look at Me and BOOMERANG for the offbeat angle, and BORN TO BE A LADY, Time Machine and ALL MY LOVE IS FOR YOU for capslock glory and balladness.forget that I thought about it and nearly all covers could work

My ideal tracklist would be something like this in the US album:

Spoiler:

Girls' Generation (2013)

1. I Got A Boy
2. ~Welcome to GG World 1 ~ (TaeYeon, Tiffany, SooYoung)
3. Genie
4. Time Machine
5. ~Welcome to GG World 2 ~ (Jessica, Yuri, HyoYeon)
6. BOOMERANG
7. Cheap Creeper
8. Look At Me
9. (new upbeat song)
10. ~Welcome to GG World 3 ~ (YoonA, Sunny, SeoHyun)
11. (new upbeat song)
12. Gee
13. (new medium ballad)
14. BORN TO BE A LADY

"Welcome to GG World" would basically be an introductory skit type thing, keeping the competent English speakers across each trio and last like 45 seconds max introducing each member.
And all songs would be English covers.

Still get 4 all-new songs, total songs = 11 which isn't too many or too few for an album. Segregating a short intro makes it easier for newcomers to pick a voice they like without getting confused as to who's who......damn, I now really want this album lol

[terra]

^It's Krystal
They kinda have the same attitude outside stage XD
