SNSD are your

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:

SNSD are your
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).

Well that’s just your opinion. But 4minute isn’t included in this article and you shouldn’t include them because that just starts conflict. :D

I don’t really listen to American music so I don’t know these songs, I liked the girl’s singing though, like always Taeyeon was amazing, she has never managed to dissapoint me with her singing except for that performance last year with Sun Ye, Ga In, and Nam Gyu Ri, where her english wasn’t that good IMO. And yep, the dorky leader is still around, the group hasn’t changed a bit within the last like, 2 months we havent seen them on stage.

Seohyun and Taeyeon were amazinggggggg! Taeyeon’s voice never fails to impress me and goodness finally they let Seohyun show off her vocals! Seohyun is undoubtly one of the most talented magnaes (plus Kyuhyun and Changmin who can also sing their asses off).

“Genie In a Bottle” was AWKWARD. Watching that video proved to me that SNSD members lack a lot of versatility in their work. (Not to mention Jessica’s voice cracking in the beginning “rubbed me” the wrong way.) / “Because You Loved Me” was MUCH better. SeoHyun’s sweet vocals didn’t really stick out like a sore thumb here, but damn, TaeYeon! I mean, at 3:14, it didn’t sound like smooth transition to that note there, but holy cats, she pulled it off!

Oh my! It was perfect. They sounded very well. Good Job SNSD!

Sorry to offend fans, but Taeyeon needs to stop acting like a little kid and start acting like her twenties. I’m sorry, I just think so many times when I see her that she seems like a high schooler and it really bugs me!

how the he** did 4 minutes being mentioned in some of the comments??
and not being rude or anything here but comparing 4 minutes to the 4 lead singers in snsd is just pffffftt…
eventhough 4 minutes are talented girls as well but they need more training to be able to do what taeyeon and the others did
snsd you go girls!! loving your voices smile

@797: you obviously dont know much about taeyeon if you think all she does is act like a kid all the time.

i must say that was great
their voices are really great
and the accents pretty much was barely there

Jessica slightly cracked in the first line but made up for it throughout the song. As expected of the English speaking duo. Though i hate Korean artists singing in Engrish i have to say, i’m impressed with Taeyeon and Seohyun, their English is quite good. Haha btw, the leader is quite weird-hilarious.

i’m not a big fan of snsd but after hearing of this damn these girls can sing
genie in a bottle is a hard song to control but imo jess and tiff did well eventhough jessica did cracked up in the beginning but she did well for the rest and tiff her voice suits this song
the other song is beautifully soothing
