The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 677

Happy Christmas everyone! This is the second Christmas we are celebrating with G.O as an enlisted man. This year, he gave us a wonderful holiday surprise on Christmas Eve to help us really enjoy our holiday celebrations: An ever-so-sweet Christmas selca. Too much adorable and the cutest reindeer yet to be seen! I want to send out to him and to all of you my warmest wishes for this holiday season. Wishes filled with healing and love. Please let the spirit of the holidays fill you with a warmth that is patient, kind and loving. Be good to yourselves and to each other. And . . . remember to never stop cherishing those you love.

Merry Merry Christmas!

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 674

My love affair with 2012 continues. And since I am not adverse to short clips, snippets and soundbites where G.O is concerned, I am fully satisfied with my choice for today’s Fan-Camming Friday even though it clocks in at under a minute. You know my creed: Any time spent watching and/or listening to G.O is time well-spent, no matter how long or short. So back to May 2012 then when MBLAQ performed at the Kyunghee Cyber University Festival and a little focused cam during the closing moments of Oh Yeah.

I am sorry but lately Tykeys have commandeered my playlists and when that happens, I invariably want to share the greatness of G.O’s work. Even though I recently shared an I’m Sorry clip, I am traveling down that road once more here today as there can never be too much vocal virtuosity in an eight day span. I think G.O’s recent (and nostalgic) update where he posted a picture of himself from his Tykeys’ days has triggered my desire to revisit the memories and the music. Today a short clip of I’m Sorry (yes, again) from Tykey’s visit to the SBS Power FM Cultwo Show back on 2 August 2007.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 668

If I had a dime for every time I wrote or called G.O tender, I would be a millionaire. But as it is one of my favorite ways to describe him, I am going to drop another dime in the bank, as it is my choice of adjective for today’s ABC’s of G.O. We are nearing the end of the alphabet which works out rather perfectly seeing how we are running out of days of his service. Yes, soon we will hit the two month remaining mark which means we will also be two months and one week away from his fan meeting. I can no longer explain the excitement because it is getting too big to contain. So to help, I just want us to relax into a visual offering of G.O’s tenderness.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 667

Oh my dear Mexican A+, I trust you realize that you were given the most sublime vocal blessing from our charming main vocal back in August 2013.  I was not aware until just today (yes, after all this time, I am still finding treasures I did not know existed), that you had the privilege and pleasure of experiencing Canción Para Tus Lágrimas, better known as Song For Your Tears. I am just being cheeky here with the Spanish title because G.O sang this amazing Javier Colon song for you in Mexico. I am also beating myself up for not discovering this sooner. But, since it is a Fan-Camming Friday day, it turned out to be THE perfect find.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 665

In reviewing the past G.O One Shots where I have posted .gifs, I noticed that I have given the short teaser video for G.O’s second digital single Play That Song lots and lots of .gif love. And for good reason. The mini MV is 1:36 of pure vocal and visual bliss. So I decided that today I would simply add another .gif from the PTS video treasure chest because it is a gift that keeps giving.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 664

I am one of G.O’s fans who has a healthy appreciation for the creative collaboration and subsequent music that was born during his time with Tykeys. Every song, including Su’s solo work, is a candidate for the Vocal Virtuosity list. Every single one. Lately, R&B has taken a firmer foothold in South Korea (much to my delight); however, back in 2007, it did not get the exposure and respect it deserved. Inasmuch as Ty Project No. 1 was an amazing album, in my opinion, it never got proper recognition, promotion and airplay. I listen to it quite a bit so it gets lots of airplay in my house! Often when I am listening to it, I long to hear the present and seasoned vocalist G.O sing the songs of that album. The closest we actually came to that was when G.O appeared with rapper Nassun on Trend-E’s The Muzit show back on 9 October 2010 wherein he sang 22 seconds of Tykeys’ first single, I’m Sorry. And it was twenty-two seconds of absolute vocal virtuosity.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 661

I have been thinking about the Men In Blaq concert recently. It was MBLAQ’s first major concert and therefore pretty special. The one thing about the early concert tours that I did not get to experience at Curtain Call back in November 2014, were the special stages. I was thinking about all of the G.O special stages I did not get to see which makes me hungry for all upcoming special stages he will give us when he returns. But this post is not about special stages or even really the MIB concert. No, it is a just quick visit to a moment of G.O’s Fabled Fan Service that just so happened to have occurred on that day, 20 August 2011. It probably may not necessarily be deemed blatant fan service; but to me, whenever G.O engages with fans outside of the purview of a fan sign, fan meeting or performance, he is more than exercising fan service. He is exercising a desire to connect which is fan service on steroids.^^

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 660

When isn’t a G.O-focused Mona Lisa fan cam a good thing? It is always a good thing. Whether on a Friday or any day, watching (and hearing) G.O during Mona Lisa is a tantalizing delight. I think it has been well over 100 days since I last honored a Mona Lisa performance, so time seems about right to have another. For this Fan-camming Friday, I am choosing a focused cam from the Cheong-gu Prime Concert on 8 August 2012.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 659

Somewhere and some time ago, it came to pass that a tradition would be born. That tradition was arming G.O with a water gun during the closing song or songs of a MBLAQ live concert show. It would almost seem if something were awry if G.O were to circumvent the course of a stage and stage runway at the close of a show without some kind of water-laced weaponry affectionally dousing his minions. I suppose if I were to research this phenomenon thoroughly I would be able to pinpoint the exact show where he received the first in his arsenal of many water guns. Instead, I am just going to honor his adorable playfulness in picture form for today’s G.O One Shot. And yes, multiple shots.
