A very merry Christmas

And so it began. This morning (Christmas eve when I started this) I was happily greeted by this:

A delightful rendition of the timeless Candy by none other than Boyfriend. What a way to kick off Christmas eve! Happy, happy thoughts.

So Excited!!!

And then I realised that of course pretty much every music show has special performances. Of course!!!

And this also includes a cover of my favourite Christmas song ever!!! AA singing Last Christmas on TBC's Music on Top. The joy of it!

I really am once bitten and twice shy! I didn't expect so much from some rookies that I really wasn't sure about, but look at them - so good at Christmas. Well done AA.

edit: I just saw that SHINee also covered this song, the little cherubs, but it is not getting embedded as I only have a fancam of Jonghyun and no other memebers. No fair! But here, please do listen.

Also, my three favourite maknaes of Dalmatian clubbed together to produce a clap-happy medley. I would embed it, but I don't think I can have even a cover of Mariah Carey's All I want for Christmas is You on here. What a conflict of interests! Sorry, maybe go here to see it.... I could have done with some more Christmas knitwear too, but I wouldn't want to sound greedy.
Oh, and speaking of clap-happy, this intro <3

It makes me happy also that Christmas is a time for the creation of new fan art...

Evidently Yejun of F.Cuz liked this "band" portrait so much that he retweeted it personally on Christmas eve <3

So yes, I hope you enjoy all the Christmas specials, both the one-off stages and the extra feathers and furs and sheen on the standard ones.

From Bunny and I over here at Nunas Know Best HQ,

A Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year!

We will be hanging out our grotto, complete with festive idol wall, playing some games just like these B1A4 boys here, who clearly know exactly how to have fun!

HAPPY CHRISTMAS

CAP's cap? Definitely not.
Drum and Bass Jingle Bells remix? OK then.
Teen Top and Infinite sharing a stage? 100 times yes!

Summer Time Special lacking stripes..

Last week was a Music Core special broadcast from the Caribbean Bay Water Park, you know Caribean Bay the default go-to on location waterpark for every idol reality show and apparently music show, or maybe you just know it from "Cabi Cabi! the hottest hottest! Cabi Cabi! in crazy crazy!" that horrific commericial for the place which is guaranteed to raise the temperature with it's summery feel whilst it simultaneously raises your seething jealously as you watch lifeguard 2PM paired up with bikini clad Girls Generation...

Anyway, music special from the water park? its only June but yes! why not! and look at this, a lovely bit of nautical set design! I sure hope i'm in for a fine array of sailor outfits and some short shorts...

Well get ready to be disappointed, its not that kind of special, it was just regular Music Core at a fun location with a bit of a theme to the stage. Also my pet peeve the use of pyrotechnics in a daytime concert,  ugh, why do people continue to do this, we don't see and sparks and flares we just see clouds of billowing smoke, we don't need bursts of flame blowing waywardly in the outdoor winds when broad daylight is showing us all too clearly how close out precious boys are from roasting their perfect fringes. I actually began to worry that Beast had somehow set themselves ablaze (pressumably from someone accidentally lighting a match a few inches too close to their collective smouldering hotness - Yoseob aside) in their performance of Fiction, it really did seem at one point like I was looking at Dongwoon through the hazy vision of an inferno whilst his make up melted off his face and he screamed out for Noona to help him... but fear not everyone, it looks like spontaneous combustion, but I promise you they are all fine.

Gikwang and HyunSeung... literally smokin'.

Staging complaints aside, the nautical outfits were seriously lacking, "pale blue" was the choice of a few, or just all white like FT Island who looked like a group of emo angsty angels whilst the flames (of hell?) burst around them.  There one was man representing some sailor stripes beautifully, sadly he wasn't performing, but he was one the MCs, all hail SHINee's Onew and this perfect moment of him dancing along mid song (I think its Norazo's new song... lols) as only The Onew Condition can :

I LOVE HIM.

Well that feels more summery, more like we're at the beach right? having a party on the beach!! wooo!

OK so i'm over it, there were no jaunty sailor hats, nowhere near enough stripes and stupid flames blazing but Music Core did something right, I present you with ...

"ROOKIE BOYBAND PINK/PEACH & WHITE THEMED WATERPARK BACKGROUND ADORABLE SUMMERTIME CUTEFEST BATTLE"

Watch them one after the other and then watch them again and again alternately and then when you're really ready for it, watch them both playing AT THE SAME TIME. I'm serious. DO IT. and then keeping doing that forever. AND EVER. You will never need to watch anything else, only those two wondeful performances from B1A4 and Boyfriend. Trust me, i've been surviving on nothing but these clips for 7 days now and I feel GREAT.

I also feel strangely attracted to boys under 20 wearing dungarees or tracksuit jackets or white Doc Martins... but thats only natural.

Fingers crossed for a proper nautical special before the summers over... I want sailors! I want shorts! I want socks! I want hats! I want special summer stages! I want it all!!

although truthfully, it's not really like anybody is ever going to win over this MASTERPIECE:

NEVER FORGET !!!
