The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 76

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

When I committed myself to a post a day for each day G.O completes his military service, I knew it would require effort, discipline and stamina. I am discovering that no matter how demanding this project may become over the course of the many days ahead, the more I learn about G.O, the more determined I am to tell the world about his unmistakable and amazing talent. This series has allowed me to look deeper at that talent, especially when I get to write about his time on the Immortal Song 2 stage. His September 3, 2011 performance on Ballad v. Dance night completely derailed me.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 70

70 days!!! Seriously, the days are flying by!! After grabbing his first win on the Immortal Song 2 stage, I would suspect that G.O began to really settle into the competition. Even as humble as he is and (at times) self-doubting, I think his competitive juices were really beginning to fire up.

Oooooh….I could tell G.O was feeling those first couple of lines in the song and think he would have wanted to test those bluesy waters indeed, if given the opportunity.

When MBLAQ’s main vocal man, G.O, recently alluded in a tweet back in November to being on television again very soon, he was not stringing us along creating false hope. In June of this year, MBLAQ made their triumphant comeback releasing their 8th mini album (their first as a trio), Mirror, and there were murmurings in the fandom at that time voicing hope (along with some gentle cajoling) that the man with the honey vocals should participate as a contestant in the music competition program King of Masked Singer.  Well, I think we all just got our wish.
