KARA returns, get your earplugs ready
121 CommentsTHERIPPER in News | 24 Jul 2008 - 03:00 PM
Earlier this week, De La Methode reported that KARA was returning with two new members on July 24th's 'MNET Countdown'. KARA is back and I'm sorry to say that I wish they never returned.
KARA returned with some horrible music that'll make you reach for the mute button. The song they came back with is called "Rock You." The only thing this song will rock is your patience. They seem to be going for the "cute" look which isn't surprising, it's the chic thing to do now and also because they have two new members that could've been candidates for Sweety. The sad thing is that these Sweety kids actually sound better than KARA.
It's a shame, these girls had some potential. But when Kim Sung Hee left, so did the soul of the group. It doesn't help that DSP Entertainment is also ruining things by giving them a bad song and a isonomic look that's been done plenty of times before. DSP Entertainment sure knows how to make some unpopular groups, they long for the days of Fin.K.L. and Sechskies... and so do I.

I’ve always though KARA sucks live. Kim Sung Hee was the only one to rock it live on stage, plus she was the hottest girl. Theres no hope for KARA.

terrible. one of the worst live performances. The 2 new members stand in the same level as Sohee.
I really like the old KARA , so i expected more than that.

They need to go back to their old concept…they don’t really match the cute concept…I guess they just wanna experience it since SNSD was successfull with the cute concept for Kissing you

do they srsly think that snsd=success. It seems like they are trying to get into that kind of image which srly, all artists should stay away from. Song sucks, but Kara is cute

This is what happens when you have two anging girls desperate to replace their missing lead vocals with two so hee wannabes

i think they would have done better if they just didnt replaced Kim Sung Hee and went to being a 3 member group because this new thing is not working for them

WTH.. the new members were vocally the weakest although they are VERY pretty, the other members were al right a little out of breath which i’d like to blame on nerves (watch their rehearsal…..it was flawless. I really want to like kara (i LOVE LOVE the underrated) and i can see this song growing on me, also the routine was very good (better than the usual DSP style routines)one of the new members is a really good dance. Anyways have you heard SIY Cinderella- now that is an awful song.

I guess they’re trying out the cute concept now, since SNSD was successful with it. I don’t mind the ‘cuteness’, but at least have a song that doesn’t sound like 10 year-olds are singing it. KARA was awesome before, but now…

oh and the beginning bit of the song reminds me A LOT of the opening theme of the anime Fruits basket, anyone else see it?

@ lol: “WTF is this? Karaoke night at the local karaoke bar?“
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. my thoughts exactly. that performance was pretty terrible. it’s not just that they’re bad live, the song is pretty bad as is the choreography. when sunghee left the group, she took with her any hope that kara had to be a decent group.

Wow. It does remind me of Metro Station’s Shake It because they say it so much. Haha! KARA’s trying to channel a “Kissing You” SNSD spirit and combining a bit of WG in the 5 member group. Tsk, tsk. Poor KARA. I really thought KARA had potential, but dang… what happened?!

I can’t believe this was the same Kara that sang Break it and had a cool, hip hop look to them. Now they look like pink vomit moving around onstage with a vomit inducing song. Yuck, bring back Sunghee please!

>_> This reminds me of this taiwanese girl group called Hei Sheui mei mei or something. Annoyingly cute. With not very good vocals, wearing ridiculous outfits. Those new girls… wasn’t there this online audition for those places? I’m sure like hundreds tried out. And some of them were actually GOOD. Better than…. THAT. UGH.
WHAT THE HELL DID YOU DO TO KARA, DSP?
Then again DSP is known for switching around concepts… unless that only applies for their boy bands. They better change it. NOW.

I fink i was abit surpsd at their new look and all but who crez, they lk really cute but i do prefer their old lk and songs.
Their new song was abit OMG at first but after a few listens, it gets really catchy and nw i like the song.
Peple r saying their live in terrible, thts not quite truee since they were prbly 1 of the best live girl band singers around last year but i guz the beat and stuf was abit fast and pumping that id be hard to sing and dance to.
If they do anda song, one not so fast im sure theyl be loved.

KARA, they don’t have that x-factor. just boring to me. before and after the addition of the new member. their songs were average. nothing more. i also wish they would be better with the new members, but i guess i was wrong.

Their new concept isn’t a surprise but It’s strange to see them like that. But is the same time, with two new members, I don’t think that KARA old style could make KARA survive…since even if we like their old style, with this one they were called a failure last year (and It wasn’t true).
Their perf wasn’t horrible…Gyuri, SeungYeon & Nicole were good and It’s the first time that they perf since 10 months and moreover a very fast song !
What I can’t understand is why when Wonder Girls or SNSD can sing bad on stage and will always be juded as good…I find KARA perf better than the one of Wonder Girl.
The song is not my style but It sounds not bad…but the outfits are really ugly !

GUYS GET OVER THE OLD CONCEPT! AT LEAST THEY ARE TRYING SOMETHING NEW!
Although, I am VERY disappointed on their comeback. The song is not bad, although the cute image is annoying to the point as it overdoes SNSD cuteness. I got to say, this single might actually BEAT their first album in terms of popularity. However, I agree nothing beats the old KARA and the first album.
