G.O Christmas Package Begin

As it is officially G.O’s birthday here on my side of the world, the nominating period for the Merry MBLAQ Christmas Package event has officially begun!! As a reminder, the nominating period will remain open through Sunday, November 15, 2015, until 11:59 PM (US Central Standard Time). Send your nominations to: mblaqchristmas@gmail.com and remember to include in the subject line of the email: MBLAQ Christmas Package Nomination.

You may nominate anyone of your choosing, and you may nominate more than one person. Likewise, if you are so inclined, you may even nominate yourself! Remember to tell me a little about the nomination, and specifically, if the nom has a bias….a MBLAQ bias, even if that bias is Joon or Cheondung. Let me also add, this event is open to fans worldwide.

The ten recipients of the Christmas packages will be announced November 23, 2015. The packages will go out during the week of December 1 and will be shipped via EMS. For more information on the details check out my previous post.

Let’s all have a very merry MBLAQ Christmas!♥

Beautiful Byung Hee Birthday Man

Birthday Byung Hee

Today is Byung Hee’s birthday (well, Seoul time). His 29th. I struggle to find ways that would celebrate him in the manner and to the extent he deserves. I come up empty. Empty because nothing would be remotely adequate. He deserves to be celebrated. Not just today, but every day. I am going to go all new age-y on you here for moment and say (with honesty and certainty), there are simply not many like him who grace Earth and allow us the honor of such presence. I am of the opinion that there are those people who walk among us who hold special light. Those marked for greatness. Those destined to shine. MBLAQ’s main vocal man G.O is one of those beings. And I am not shy about telling everyone that over and over!

G.O MBLAQ christmas Announcement Blog

Since eternally pledging my heart and support to MBLAQ’s deeply passionate main vocal man, G.O, I have felt the trickle down effect of his gracious and generous spirit which in turn continually compels me to give and share. With Christmas on the horizon, I thought it a perfect time to plan an event to celebrate the holiday and to do so with G.O and MBLAQ flavor. Hence, the Merry MBLAQ Christmas Package!

Another Year With MBLAQ – Happy 6th Anniversary!

~ Michele ~ 2 Comments

The number 6 is considered the most harmonious of all single-digit numbers. The most important influence of the 6 is its loving and caring nature. Properly nicknamed the motherhood number, it is all about sacrificing, caring, healing, protecting and teaching others. 

Our beloved men of MBLAQ are marking their sixth year together since their debut on October 15, 2009. In some respects it is bittersweet. For me, however, it is a celebration. Even though they have moved from 5 to 3, the fact of the matter is, they are still here.

[series] 116 Reasons to Love Byung Hee: #11 ~ It Takes Deux

~ Michele ~ 1 Comment

2015-09-16-12_00_51-hitebb688ed9b84ec9d98ebaa85eab3a12immortal-songs-2-eca780ec98a4eca095ed9dacmblaqjung-hee-ec82aceb9e91ebb3b4eb8ba4eab98aec9d80-e1442431143627

Duet. A performance by two people, especially singers. Two voices locked in perfect harmony, emotion and delivery. But, it is more than that. In a July 2012 interview with ABC News about sharing the stage with another vocalist in a duet, R&B singer Robin Thicke summed it up nicely when he said:

“It’s not about singing with perfect pitch or timing, it’s about feeling. All art is supposed to create feeling and if you sing with passion and you sing from your soul then people will feel it.”

People will feel it. I think he was talking about G.O, right? There is perhaps no truer way to describe the type of vocalist G.O set out to become and thus accomplished: A vocalist who sings with passion from the soul. Indeed. It may seem that all of the passion, emotion and feeling he brings to a song could not possibly be tempered (or matched) when partnered in a duet. I assure you, however, there is something special about the way G.O settles into a duet and lends his passion, emotion and feeling to the dynamic. For me, this is yet another reason to love this very talented man and his incredible artistry as a vocalist.

[series] 116 Reasons to Love Byung Hee: #10 Another Cover to Love ~ Rise & Fall

~ Michele ~ 6 Comments

Yes, this is the reason that just keeps giving! Actually, I think I am slacking a little bit. Another oversight on my part for failing to include this very early cover of G.O, along with his Tykeys band mates, performing the soulful Rise & Fall. Maybe I need to spend some time in fangirl detention.

[series] 116 Reasons to Love Byung Hee: More #10 ~ All of Me Believes G.O Is Already A Legend

All of Me Blog Post

The more I commit myself to accepting the fact that I am a fangirl, and G.O my one and only true bias, the more I believe that there is no such thing as coincidence. On August 17th, after a long hiatus of my series 116 Reasons to Love Byung Hee, I published a post entitled Undercover Cover Lover, a discussion, for the most part, of the English songs G.O has covered over the course of his career with Tykeys and now MBLAQ. Two short days following the publication of that post, a video leaks of G.O covering yet another Western R&B artist’s song: John Legend’s All of Me.

If it is a coincidence, then I’d have to say the universe has a pretty cheeky sense of humor. That aside, the 1:41 clip of just his voice and piano lays further foundation that G.O is sincerely born to sing and is a master at his craft.

Well….shame on me!!!! Thankfully, friend of the blog, Nan, jogged my rusty memory about this one ~ G.O’s heartfelt rendition of Eric Benét’s Still With You, a slice of which he gave us in Episode of 7 of Sesame Player. Perhaps the most embarrassing part of me failing to remember this one is that I actually uploaded the clip to my You Tube channel.
