THE NOMINEES FOR BEST ROOKIE OF THE YEAR:
1) Ailee
One of the strongest vocalists this year, she disputes the title of "Korean Beyonce" with Sistar's leader Hyorin. Starred in the TV-musical Dream High 2 with Hyorin and Jiyeon, showing off her strong vocal talent in their joint single "Super Star", preceding her debut with the light song "Heaven". Just released her first mini-album, Invitation, two months ago.
2) Spica
I didn't even know these guys were rookies... because they've released like five singles. It's crazy. They all have wickedly good vocal talent, and the main rapper/singers have really juicy, rich voices. Most of their stuff is toned sort of dark and sulky, but they released one bubble-gum style single called "I'll be There".
3) Ace of Angels
These guys are like awesome. The group arrangement is kind of confusing - 8 members, 5 in a band, 7 in a dance group. Their songs are catchy, they're all talented, and they're super unique. Keep fighting your way back to heaven, angels!
4) Lee Hi
Lee Hi is now known as the monster rookie for staying on top of the Gaon charts for a month straight, making all sorts of records, and winning a bunch of shows since her debut. She was the winner of Kpop Star, marking her as the next big hit as a kpop soloist.
5) She'z
She'z has only released two songs. Neither of them ESPECIALLY jumped out at me, but they are all great at singing and performing live, their music videos are bright and energetic, and the member Taeyeon-not-Taeyeon looks like a freaking porcelain doll!
6) D-unit
3 members. Going for a badass-y loner angle. Super talented singers, rappers dancers. Their most recent single, Love Me, is pretty freaking awesome. Includes Boram's younger sister Ram. Who is... dare I say it? Potentially more talented than her sister!
THE NOMINEES FOR BEST PACKAGED ALBUM (EVER)
1) T-ara - Day by Day
Comes with possibly the biggest freaking amazing photo book in a mini-album ever. Comes with great quality pictures of each member, as well as many many pictures from the amazing music video. High quality, sturdy pictures.
2) SNSD - Paparazzi
Want packaging? SM's got packaging. Newspapers from the paparazzi press... photocards... coolness.
3) SNSD - Girl's & Peace (deluxe)
42 page photobook, SNSD diary, 2013 calendar, and cosmetic set.
4) T-ara - Black Eyes
Kind of the same deal as Day by Day, but different concept in the solo pictures, and Cry Cry and Lovey Dovey versus Day by Day and Sexy Love.
5) SNSD - 1st Japanese Album
Comes in this big square box-a-licious maze, with a double zippered purse. Photobook. Awesome photos. Plus I love all the songs which AREN'T ON FREAKING ITUNES.
6) Ace of Angels - Angels' Story
Sturdy, thick, embossed cover encompasses this photobook with an actual plot to it - a plot of angels come to earth! Way impressive for a rookie album. Lots of time and effort in design.
7) T-ara - Best Of, 2009 - 2012
Photobook... DVDs.... CD collections... it's got it all...
Not sure if that counts as PACKAGING though...
THE NOMINEES FOR CUTEST SONG/MV
1) Sistar - Loving U
Cute, pretty girls bouncing around in summer clothes in Hawaii... on the beach... in the pool... roller skating... on slides... what could be cuter than that?
2) TaeTiSeo - Twinkle
With their hand flicks and hair flips and Tiffany winks flying all over the place... the aegyo is spilling over the top without seeming overwellming and stuff.
3) Orange Caramel - Lipstick
Sexy ping pong ball in tight orange jump suits...
...
Okay.
4) She'z - UU
These guys are just super cute, so pair that with a light hearted song in a cute music video, and you get... SUPER CUTENESS!
5) Hello Venus - Venus
Whatever. They're cute, I guess.
THE NOMINEES FOR SEXIEST SONG/MV
1) Sistar - Alone
Sultry, sexy, sullen.... A new concept for them, and they hit in on the nail. Their faces are perfect, the dance is perfect, their costumes are perfect... the shots of in the bar are so freaking sexy!
3) T-ara - Day by Day
The dance is just amazingly sexy. It's not even overly sexy, like Hyuna or anything. Subtly amazingly beautiful and curvy and smooth. Go T-ara!
4) Girl's Generation - Flower Power
5) KARA - Pandora
This is my first experience with KARA, and I am very impressed. From Hara's GIGANTIC FREAKING EYES to the little sexy arm jolts and leg slips, to the break down as the bridge... they are awesome.
6) T-ara - Sexy Love
A song called Sexy Love has to be sexy to some extent... T-ara went with robots. Sexy robots. Sexy robots meaning Jiyeon being sexy doing a robot dance.
