K-pop in Public- Solo Edition!

Sorry the 2nd post is later this week, I wasn't well so got behind with it. :)

 

I've previously written several K-pop in Public (dance covers of Korean songs performed in public places) special edition posts, focusing on themes such as male K-pop stars' routines or based around one groups' dances.

Today's K-pop in Public post is a solo edition, featuring dances to songs by solo artists. :) 

 

KPOP IN PUBLIC (CHUNG HA)-PLAY CHANGMO Dance Cover by B-Wild

Back in August 2020 I wrote my very first K-pop in Public post! One of the videos I included was a  dance cover of solo singer (and former member of girl group I.O.I) CHUNG HA's's single PLAY featuring Changmo. 

It's by Vietnamese dance team B-Wild. Visit the post to see it: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2020/08/k-pop-in-public-dances.html


MMMH by Kai Covers

My 1st K-pop in Public- Boys' Edition! post from 2021 features several dance covers of MMMH,  by Kai from Korean/Chinese boy band EXO and supergroup SuperM. It was his debut solo single and was released in November 2020.

The covers are by HIMI, 9BIT and SOULITE (from Australia) and HIGHER CREW and SS MOB (both from France).

Watch them here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/05/k-pop-in-public-boys-edition.html

 

And then in my More K-pop in Public Dances post (also written in 2021) I shared another cover of Kai's MMMH. This one is by LB Dance Project from Vietnam: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2021/08/more-k-pop-in-public-dances.html

 

SOMI- 'DUMB DUMB' Dance Cover- Ellen and Brian

In a Dance Videos post from 2022, I included a solo dance cover of DUMB DUMB, the 2021 single by Somi (also a former member of I.O.I., along with CHUNG HA). The cover is performed by Ellen, of husband and wife dance cover team Ellen and Brian.

25th Anniversary of Mariah Carey's Butterfly Album

My favourite singer Mariah Carey recently released a 25th anniversary edition of her 6th studio album Butterfly. The original album was released on 16th September 1997 and featured songs such as her hit single Honey, The Roof and My All. It was actually the first album I ever bought (on cassette tape, lol) and I still consider it one of my fave MC albums. :) Butterfly was the first album that Mariah had more control over and it is R'n'B, rather than the pop (and later pop/R'n'B) of her previous releases. It also has pop and hip hop influences. The expanded edition contain 8 extra tracks (the original standard edition has 12)- a duet version of Whenever You Call with Brian McKnight , a new take on The Roof featuring Brandy , live versions of Butterfly and My All, acapella versions of Fourth of July and Outside, an Amorphous Anniversary Club Mix of Butterfly (with DJ Amorphous ) and a remix of Honey (Another Taste of Honey David Morales Mix). I had previously heard the D

New Unexpected

We're finally getting the new season of the reality TV series Unexpected in the UK! Season 3 was shown in the US last summer , and I wondered when we'd get it here. I don't have any online streaming services so thought I'd just watch clips on YouTube, lol. However it's now starting here in early March. Similar to the popular MTV franchise Teen Mom , Unexpected focuses on teen parents. The first series featured 3 couples expecting babies- Lily Bennett and her boyfriend James Kennedy who have daughter Aaliyah, now 2;  Mckayla Adkins and partner Caelan Morrison who have son Timothy, also known as Timmy (and now daughter Gracelynn , born in January 2019), and  Lexus Scheller and boyfriend Shayden Massey who have daughter Scarlett. Season 2 saw the departure of Lilly and the addition of 3 new pregnant girls and their partners- Laura Barron and her boyfriend (now husband) Tylor Stawmyor who have son Lucas (and have since had another baby , a 2nd son, who is named Leo),
