SNSD is starting to make the radio show rounds promoting their single "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)", and what better show to kick things off than their own leader Taeyeon's ChinChin Radio? The Genie nonagon did some American covers, as K-pop bands are wont to do on these radio shows, with US-born Tiffany & Jessica performing Christina Aguilera's "Genie In A Bottle" (it was inevitable, really), and Taeyeon & Seohyun combining for a vocally powerful rendition of Celine Dion's "Because You Loved Me".

It's a good thing that Youtube's video coding made the clip low-quality and a bit out of sync, because many male brains wouldn't be able to handle HQ JeTi telling us to "rub [them] the right way" and that "[their bodies are] saying let's go". The recording also oozes SNSD dork moments, with Sooyoung attempting to pick Tiffany's nose or something at 0:40, and Taeyeon doing some Buzz Lightyear karate-chop action at 2:52.

For this leader (Taeyeon) and maknae (Seohyun) collaboration cover, however, many lament the poor video/audio quality. It seems that despite her dorkiness in the last video, Taeyeon is a Serious George when it comes to singing herself, turning away to fully concentrate on her vocals. Hard to believe that the girl who belts out that note at 3:15 is doing this on the same radio show:


Kudos to lightning!@soshified for the caps

The girls also performed new single "Tell Me Your Wish (Genie)" and "Etude" on the show (click for the videos).
