KPOP: 6/17/18 Really by Blackpink 💚

MY FAVORITE SONG HAS ARRIVED. I could go on and on about this song, it is soooooo goood. But in an effort to not drive away any non kpop fans, i will keep it concise. Oh and aI think I like this new style of reviewing so I'll keep it, but instead of doing what I did with Forever Young, I'm going to be grouping things in bigger sets like "Before Chorus" "After First Chorus" "Chorus" and "Bridge". Anyways, Let's go.

Intro/Chorus: oddly enough the song begins with the chorus, however, I'm going to have to group this in the intro section as it is how the song begins. AND I LOVE THE INTRO. it has this sort of swing feel to it when jennie/rose sing "If you really, really love me, malhaejwo" that it so catchy and I really love. The tone of their voices is also supper addicting and overall I really like how the chorus is structured. One thing i have to note is that it struck me a bit odd that there was no introductory beat or whatevever, there was one second of music and BOOM lyrics. it's not bad, but I wish there was a few seconds of instrumental or whatever.

Pre-Chorus: So Jisoo's verse was obviously good. The song here continues the structure of being medium speed and having that swing feel, like there's this back and forth vibe I get from the song, which was really good. The background beat is pretty simple, which helps you clue in ON HOW AMAZING THEY SING. Lisa killed her rap, especially her "keep it real with me" at the end of her rap was a really amazing touch.

Post First Chorus: Alright this is what in my mind elevated this song from busines to first freeking class. There is this five second part is rose's verse (who had amazing tone in her verse) which rhymed ppoppo (kiss), no no (as in if you're gonna be rude than this is a no no) and (in english) when we meet we laugh haha hehe hoho. Like I don't know why BUT I JUST DIEDDDDD at this part. Rose's haha hehe hoho is just so catchy and like the friends theme when they clap, I always stop and sing along. An also amazing touch is after the words "ppoppo" there is a kiss in the background. AND THEN THE FINAL KICKER is after Rose's part when she says "no more" she carries her lyric into Jisoo's part and my jaw dropped. It was really such a beautiful transition. And Lisa has another rap which is really cool, I loved the lyric, especially "F a love song, I need you to say it"

Outro: It is a really simple outro, just "I gotta know that you're for real, really, really, really" but I'm glad. This song is truly a bop and is pretty bare bones, no flare or whatever in the beat, just an amazing song to blast on the radio during a chill day, so it made me happy the outro reflectred that.

Rating 5 out of 5

My first author interview posted on this blog (can you believe it?)! Today's author interview features bestselling author of Ungifted, The Hypnotist, Schooled, and Masterminds  Gordon Korman! I asked him a couple questions about his books, and writing in general,which he gratefully responded to. Q1-  What was your inspiration for writing these amazing stories? For example, how does one simply think to write about an ungifted kid going to a gifted school? A1-    My story ideas just come to me. I don’t want to question it too much, because I would hate to have it stop happening! But really, most authors don’t require what you call “inspiration.” We write because we have something to say. That’s just about all it takes to start us scribbling. Q2-  I feel like you’ve been asked this a million times, but your strategy for avoiding writer’s block? A2- Can you believe it? I’ve never had writer’s block. I think my reason is that I plan my story thorough...

OMG ITS A SPY SCHOOL- FUNJUNGLE CROSSOVER FANFIC *preview edition*

By -
 Merry Christmas to all! Sure it's still two days before but who says we can't celebrate early. As a surprise I'm in the process of writing a Spy School-FunJungle crossover snazzapalooza fanfic! Here is a little preview which I know you'll enjoy.... “Are you sure this is December?” Warren yelled from the back. Chip went and wacked him on the head with a newspaper as if he were an annoying fly buzzing around you. “It’s Texas you moron, it isn’t like DC! Instead of snow and hot chocolate they have sandy beaches and lemonade year round” You couldn’t blame Warren though; we flew over sunny lands grassy patches when just a couple hours ago we were fighting through a biting wind and treading through a snow just to board the plane.   We were trying our best to get along because after the whole stop-SPYDER-from-blowing-up-New-York fiasco the academy figured we were ready for some field work (who knows what they were thinking with Warren). The agency had gotten ...
