200 lbs Beauty Reality show is neglected by viewers

0719-kim-mi-ryu.jpg

Are we surprised? Of course not! First of all, nobody was excited about the show and second, Kim Mi Ryu’s crying incident on Mnet countdown was perceived as a staged stunt among potential viewers, loosing the show’s credibility. But, there’s one positive outcome from this poorly executed reality show and it’s finding out about Kim Mi Ryu’s unexpected musical talent. The girl’s got potential and I honestly believe that if she works at it, she might actually be successful. Like me, many are surprised by Kim’s talent, but many are still upset about the staged crying incident. Do you think that she’ll be successful as a singer?

    I have to say, she is pretty good. Sounds a bit like jessica simpson at some parts.

    Kinda looks like she is lipsinging but i gotta admit that she is pretty talented

    does anyone have a clip of the “staged crying incident”?

  5. 5 Carla July 19, 2007 at 5:01 am

    her voice is great! :}

  6. 6 Rainy_x_DaySs July 19, 2007 at 5:16 am

    has a good voice i just hope its her real voice o_O

    These days, it seems like you need more looks than talent. Good luck to her, either way. Her English is really funny! ^^

    I’m surprised myself, I didn’t think she’d be as good. I like this way better than the performance that Yang-pa did on Love Letter(o_0) If she does a CD I might support it.

    what crying incident??
    what happened??

  10. 10 daneil July 19, 2007 at 8:06 am

    i was reading through comments at when that happened and some ppl even accused her of acting.

    i thought it was too.

    why would sheget SO upset over that when shes a GAGWOMEN. she makes fun of her own age in her fawkin CF she did. -___- people always made jokes about her age before this. obviously it was a publicity stunt. i felt sorry for seo in young and ma gyuri who got bashed on by the stupid idiotic netizens.

    on the other note she has a voice thats full and powerful. just dont sing american songs with that huge accent.
    when that clip was first released on daum there were countless amount of views but not many comments. the commentsthat were left were saying how that incident was stupid.

  11. 11 Eve July 19, 2007 at 8:10 am

    Huh I don’t know her too well but I find her quite funny but why called it 200lb beauty…she’s nowhere near 200 pounds -__-;;

  12. 12 sallyen July 19, 2007 at 10:43 am

    Her voice is not bad. Better than mine hehe xD
    I want to hear her singing a korean song… her english sounds funny, not that it’s bad :)

  13. 13 Rayestar July 19, 2007 at 10:55 am

    That was really good. She hit thoughs note on point… almost. i think she did better than Yang-pawith this songs.

  14. 14 Dee July 19, 2007 at 10:57 am

    I wonder if people are going to be willing to look past the show to give her a real chance…But she’s definitely got talent (obviously the singing in English isn’t the best of the best, but nowadays that’s an easy fix)

  15. 15 jane =] July 19, 2007 at 11:06 am

    i dont understand why everyone’s so suprised, she sang at some of her gag concerts, and it was pretty good. anyways, good luck to her, i guess.

  16. 16 heidi July 19, 2007 at 11:15 am

    what’s the song that she’s singing… love it!

  17. 17 mawee July 19, 2007 at 11:35 am

    is that really her voice??? @_@ it looks like its lipsycnh but if its really hers,, then all I can say is WOW 0_o

  18. 18 june July 19, 2007 at 12:02 pm

    in comparison to other korean women singers, she has a very strong voice that isn’t annoying. and who really cares about that accent when she’s singing in english anyway? as long as she can sing the right notes! anyways, i think she’s pretty good.

  19. 19 annie July 19, 2007 at 2:35 pm

    now that’s some real talent~ it’s a shame that phsyical appearance tends to override talent in Korea

  20. 20 katrinaa* July 19, 2007 at 3:58 pm

    ahh~ i love her voice. and i think her english is quite good. haha (looking at the comments, maybe it’s just me who thinks this way.. but whatever x])

  21. 21 lennie July 19, 2007 at 11:01 pm

    i saw the show… not really worth watching, haha. but she is good at singing, i have to admit.

  22. 22 G July 20, 2007 at 12:52 am

    The song is from the Dreamgirls soundtrack, sung by Beyonce, I think

  23. 23 kezrel July 20, 2007 at 3:14 am

    She has talent. I’ve never heard of her or the show until this “article” so I don’t have any biases. She can probably become a singer but her success will be limited since, as stated earlier, Koreans are very visually oriented. Her accent wasn’t too distracting. She’ll do well in the R&B genre of music (as well as other R&B singers who aren’t good-looking enough to attract a load of fans, that is).

  24. 24 yriami July 20, 2007 at 5:10 am

    hmm i dont know why im doubting this clip is it really her or is it one of her “jokes” but if its her i like it

  25. 25 Jane July 20, 2007 at 5:58 am

    y’know…she’s actually a lot better than many singers out there right now…example: hyori…

  26. 26 studentgirl July 20, 2007 at 11:24 am

    pretty good, but I’ve heard better.
    It all depends on what kind of concept she’s going for as a singer..

  27. 27 Ali July 21, 2007 at 10:44 am

    Omg, she does have potential….0_0 surprised…heh wish my singing could have that potential XD

  28. 28 iamjg August 22, 2007 at 6:07 am

    i agree their is a big emphasis on appearance nowadays but when someone is talented well… appearance should come in second. she will be great as a singer. maybe if all the hype is on her looks she should start by singing songs for movies and dramas so her music is known first.

  29. 29 irees August 28, 2007 at 12:35 pm

    daaang. she can sing?! man, that’s some voice she got. if only i wasn’t so fluent in english that i wouldn’t get bothered by her accent.

  30. 30 tomorrowq January 10, 2008 at 4:34 pm

    i know its a kindda outdated to give a comment for something that happend last year.^^ but, i really think she have the voice there.
