This is a continuation of the last post. I didn't see any comments, so I don't know if anyone is interested in this. I'm gonna post this anyway, cause I feel like it!
Last time I posted the first and second place winners of KPOP Star 2. This time I'll show you a few videos of my favourite group from the season, the Raccoon Boys. Here we go!
Raccoon Boys - Thriller
I always love a good Michael Jackson cover.
Raccoon Boys - Run Devil Run
Once again, let me know if you'd be interested in a post with all the original Korean songs they are covering in these videos.
Raccoon Boys - Like This
Another Korean pop song cover.
Raccoon Boys - Toxic
I'm sure most of you recognize that one, right?
So, that's all the videos I'll share this time. I'm still a little surprised they didn't win the season. What do you think? Did you like them? Do you want me to post more Korean music?
If you liked this post, why not share it with friends?

Kpop Star
I'm not a fan of American Idol, or the billion and a half other shows like it.
The only American music competition show that I enjoyed was The Sing Off. Don't judge me, a capella can be good.
Anyway, there's a South Korean show called KPOP STAR. I enjoy this show. In this post I'm going to share some videos of the first and second place winners from season 2, which ended just recently.
Second place went to Bang Ye-dam. I guess I'll just post a video now.
This is from an early episode.
Bang Ye-dam - Baby
Now, I don't like the song, but he's pretty good right?
Here he is again, after a haircut and "pop star" makeover.
Bang Ye-dam - Black or White
So, I liked that one. I'm a fan of MJ songs.
I think I'll keep my comments to a minimum and just move one.
First place went to Akdong Musician, A brother and sister duo.
Akdong Musician - *don't worry if you don't recognize the songs, if there's interest I'll post the originals later. For those of you who don't understand Korean(probably most) you can just skip around the video. First song starts at about 1:40, the next at about 3:40.
They're good, but personally I like Bang Ye-dam better.
Akdong Musician - Mmmbop
Now, if you watch the whole season, you see that was mostly a tribute to Bang Ye-dam.
Last video, all three of them together. Song starts at about 1:55
That was fun, right?
In the end, all three of them got signed to the same record label. My personal favourite group from the season didn't win. I think my next post will feature them.
So what did you think of this? Would you be interested in more Korean entertainment? There's a lot of great TV shows I'd like to recommend. Please comment and share this blog.

Mr Rogers Remix
Mr Rogers Remix - Sing Together
Hey! Look at that! I got the video embedding to work! They changed the way it works, you need to put the embed code in HTML edit now.
Anyway, Mr Rogers Remix! I just stumbled across this the other night. I just love this song for some reason. I remember being really young and waking up early. I'd sit in front of the TV eating my Cheerios and watch Mr Roger's Neighborhood. I don't know, do kids have this kind of show these days? I guess there would be, right? With cable, there's about a billion channels and even some that only show children's programming. When I was young, there were no children focused TV channels that I can remember. There was Disney, but back then it was still a premium station, like HBO, so I didn't get it at my house. I had PBS, and I think ABC/CBS for Saturday morning cartoons. I don't even remember if Nikelodeon was a thing back then, the earliest I can remember it was late 80's maybe early 90's.
I wouldn't say Mr Rogers was my favourite growing up, but seeing this video brought back memories. I think Fraggle Rock and Snorks were probably my favourites. What shows did you love when you were growing up?

First!
Wow, starting a new blog. It's been a while.
It's ok, I didn't expect you to remember me. It's me, Mikal Sylvine.
No?
Well, I'm sure we've met, it was at a party for ... what am I doing? That's not important, you're here now and that's all that matters.
What is this blog about? Honestly, I'm not sure yet. For now I'll just share what I like, what I create and what inspires me. I'm going to try to post fairly regularly, so I'll need you to follow and comment to keep me motivated. Deal?
Hey, follow me on Twitter too! @mikalsylvine I need a bit of motivation there too.
That was a short and simple blog introduction, right? Stay tuned, I'll start posting soon. Feel free to suggest topics for me too!
See you soon,
~Mikal
