Sistar is Officially the Best Girl Group Out There

MAMA is this big thing in Korea. It's basically THE Korean award show/competition/ceremony of the year. Like the Oscars of kpop.  MAMA takes into account a lot of stuff. Chart sales, awards won in little weekly shows, views of music videos, judges' scores, and the popular vote.

You go online and you vote in all the categories. The only categories I really cared about was Best Girl Group and Best Rookie.

The candidates for best rookies that I cared about were:
-Ailee
-AOA
-Lee Hi
-Spica

It was a tough choice for me between Ailee and Ace of Angels, but honestly I'm really really glad that Ailee won. Congratulations! I hope it brings her lots of future success as a soloist.

The candidates for Best Girl Group were:

-2NE1
-Sistar
-T-ara
-Taetiseo
-KARA

And possibly one other group... like 4minute or Wonder Girls or Secret or something.

Anyways, this was really tough for me, because every time I went to my groups' fan sites, they would be like "Remember to vote for T-ara!" or "C'mon Star1! Sistar for the win!"or "Sones! We can still beat Sistar! Let's do it!"

And I'm like "Yeah!" I want to support them all. Honestly, in most of the other voting competitions since, I've been voting for T-ara. I think they unfairly lost a lot of their support, but they deserve it, so I assume that Sistar can take care of itself, and just aim to get T-ara higher in the rankings.

Anyways, Sistar won. Am I surprised? No. Am I happy? Totally. They deserve it. People don't really seem to realize what a big deal they are. I'm kind of sad though, because a year ago, when I found them, they weren't as famous. Alone hadn't happened, or Loving U. It felt more personal. Now I feel like all these cheap Psy-addicted kpop junkies are just going along with it.

I miss my little underrated Sistar!

Anyways, congrats to them. Good luck in the future, other girl groups!
