BTS and MONSTA X Videos

BTS and MONSTA X (also written as Monsta X) are two of the most popular Korean boy bands right now, and I'm a fan of both their music. So I thought today I'd do a round-up of their videos. :)


BTS

Let's start with BTS. The band name is short for Bangtan Sonyeondan, which translates in English as "Bulletproof Boy Scouts" and they're also known as Bangtan Boys. Their music started out in a "harder" hip hop style but these days it's more varied. It's interesting to see how it's changed. :)

BTS brought out their debut single album 2 Cool 4 Skool in 2013, and to date have released 3 Korean studio albums, Dark & Wild (2014), Wings (2016) and this year's LOVE YOURSELF: Tear; 3 Japanese, Wake Up (2014), Youth 2016) and their latest Face Yourself, and 6 EPS including O!RUL8, 2? (2013), , LOVE YOURSELF: Her (2017) and Map of the Soul: Persona which came out in April. In addition they have released 23 singles and several single albums and compilations.


Here are the BTS songs I've featured on the blog to date:

Plus here is IDOL, which was released in summer last year. It's from their third compilation album LOVE YOURSELF: Answer and there's also a version with American rapper Nicki Minaj.





MONSTA X

And here is MONSTA X. The band name refers to monsters taking over K-pop music and also comes from the French words for "my" (Mon) and "star "Sta". X is meant to "symbolise an unknown existence". They were a 7 member band but Wonho just left the group. MONSTA X's music started out in a similar style to BTS', but has also evolved over the years.

The group has released 3 Korean studio albums, The Clan: Pt 2.5: The Final Chapter (2017), Take 1: Are you there? (2018) and their latest Take 2: We Are Here; and 2 Japanese, Piece (2018) and Phenomenon (2019). Their 7 EPs include debut Trespass (2015), The Clan Pt. 1 Lost (2016), The Clan Pt. 2 Guilty (2016), The Connect: Dejavu (2018) and FOLLOW: FIND YOU which came out on 28th October. They have released 25 singles.

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), ...

South Indian Videos

I've written several Bollywood posts this year but I don't feature South Indian music/films as much. So today I'm sharing some music and dance videos from Tollywood ( the Telugu language film industry) and Kollywood (the Tamil language film industry). :) Oo Antava Mawa- Pushpa- Dance Cover by Sonali First up is a dance cover of the song Oo Antava Mawa..Oo Oo Antava from the 2021 Tollywood film Pushpa: The Rise- Part 1 . I previously featured a dance cover of Oo Antava Mawa in a Dance Videos post in August last year. That one is by Rang De and you can see it here: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/08/dance-videos.html This cover is by Indian choreographer Sonali Bhaduria, from LiveToDance with Sonali and was uploaded in January 2022. It's a shorter video.   For more on Pushpa and to watch the official Oo Antava Mawa video, check out my Tollywood Videos Round-up 2 post from September 2023: https://starsparklex.blogspot.com/2023/09/tollywood-videos-round-up-2.html ...

20th Anniversary of Mariah's The Emancipation of Mimi Album- Part 1

My favourite singer Mariah Carey is celebrating the 20th Anniversary of her 10th studio album The Emancipation of Mimi. It was released back in April 2005. I'd planned to write just one post about the album but it was turning into a really long one, so I've decided to divide it into two parts! Here is Part 1. :) The Emancipation of Mimi (or TEOM for short!) was considered Mariah's "comeback album" at the time, following on from her previous two albums, Glitter (2001) which was accompanied by the film of the same name and Charmbracelet (2002). Neither the Glitter movie or album were very well received and after going through a difficult time in general, Mariah had an emotional and physical breakdown and checked into hospital that summer. She was diagnosed with bipolar II disorder , although didn't feel ready to speak about it pubicly until several years later .  Although Charmbracelet (MC's first release after leaving Virgin Records America and singing w...
