The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 102

~ Michele ~ Leave a comment

On August 7, 2011, G.O appeared on the SBS music competition show, 1000 Song Challenge and gave us a preview of 너에게로도 디시 [To You Again], the song he would compete with on Immortal Song 2 just one month later.  The difference between the two shows however is that for IMS2 he was able to prepare. For 1000 Song Challenge, a karaoke machine randomly chose the song for him which he then had to sing from memory with no preparation or rehearsal. It did not matter.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 100

~ Michele ~ 7 Comments

Day 100!! Beautiful G.O has completed 100 days of his military service. Now, that wasn’t so bad. Those first 100 days actually went by rather quickly, right? Right?! Ok, so yes, the days seem to be moving right along and at a somewhat decent pace. Maybe? That pace still does not lessen the ache of missing him. Of having the excitable feeling of seeing an announcement that he will have an event, an appearance, a show, musical, movie or song. Right now, all we have is the promise of his imminent discharge. For Day 100 then, no fanfare needed as I will choose to honor his desire for a quiet service and simply share a moment of him covering Eric Benét’s Still With You.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 99

It is true that my bias towards G.O will always have me believing and subsequently declaring that he is the sweetest, most talented, indeed most handsome and yes, sexiest artist I have ever had the pleasure of supporting, adoring, and some may say, obsessing over. With this series, I have tried to balance the offerings with some cute, some intensity, some incredible music and of course some sexy. For Day 99, I offer some bad because it is so very, very good. ^.~

As I move my way through these many days of G.O’s military enlistment, I continue to learn more about him while enjoying his performances, whether singing or acting, as well as his variety show or red carpet appearances. Even his many endorsements. I give fair warning that even if the endorsement yields just a single picture, it will be well worth sharing here because I am always going to be interested in buying into what he is selling!

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 96

When I am asked why it is I am so very drawn to G.O, I have to confess that it is not all about the music or the fact that he is perhaps one of the best looking men in Korean popular music today (in my opinion any way) with brains to boot, and a charming personality. It is deeper and more profound. It is his character and honesty, and in the way he carries himself. It is also in the way G.O connects with his art, his music, and his fans. So you see, I am drawn to him for many, many reasons.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 94

After silence, that which comes nearest to expressing the inexpressible is music.

February 4, 2012 was the second of two nights honoring legend Song Chang Sik. That night, G.O took to the Immortal Song 2 stage and sang the deeply moving 당신은 [You]. Never one to ever hold back, G.O was at his heart-wrenching best. A perfect storm of marrying majestic vocals with the absolute agony of love.

The Soulful Countdown to G.O’s Discharge ~ Day 92

I think I can forget you
I try to comfort myself like this
But after trying to get rid of these feelings again and again
My yearning for you is endless . . .

I have to wonder when G.O agreed to appear on the January 28, 2011 episode of You Hee Yeol’s Sketchbook, if he sat down with Hee Yeol and said, “I want to sing Kim Gun Mo’s 미련 [Lingering Affection],” or if it was decided by You Hee Yeol that he would, or perhaps the production team? My first inclination is to say G.O chose it because it is exactly the type of ballad our man with the golden voice has become a master at interpreting.
