[2008 MKMF] Wondergirls win “song of the year’

Wondergirls_MKMF_081116 (2)

JYP must be so proud.

The dancing gorilla’s cash cows, the Wondergirls picked up the “Song of the Year” Award for their hit, “Nobody” at the 2008 Mnet KM Music Festival (MKMF) on November 15th. Although we predicted that Rain would perform with the Wondergirls in their tango and disco version of the hit, “Nobody,” he didn’t. Instead, 2PM stepped in as tango partners…and later flashed the audience with some chicken breasts a la Rain.

    Congrats to WG, when they debut they won ‘rookie girl group of the year’ and this year already winning 3 Daesungs? that’s pretty damn impressive, their tango with 2PM was hot and smooth and it’s nice to see 2PM show their diverse dancing skills. XD

    CONGRATS!

    I wanted to see Jay and Yoobin dance together but I think her and junsu had alot of chemistry on stage also XD

    I love the start with chansung spying?? lmao

    WG looked and did amazing that night, and 2PM and 2AM did amazing also, Kwon and jay were on stage with hee jun oppa and held their own perfectly, 2AM sing one of GOD’s song and sounded so great.

    2PM did a tribute to SUJU which was so nice haha xD

    My favourite performance is WG though,, and Bi and DBSK<33333

  5. 6 WEEE November 16, 2008 at 6:59 pm

    lol i like it when they lipsync, it makes their performances so much more watchable. I don’t get 2PM randomly ripping their shirts off tho. Maybe they were trying to send a challenge to Mr. Chicken Breast?

  6. 7 krnchngrl November 16, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    iiiiiii freakin LOVE the WONDER GIRLS!! yay!! i’m so happy for themm! :D <3

  7. 8 ELF November 16, 2008 at 7:03 pm

    Hyori and big bang should of considered lip synching.

    Korean special stages don’t seem to ever sound right when they aren’t lip synching, unless of course they aren’t doing a joint stage with someone else.

    Anyways, congrats to WG, they certainly earned this award.

    This MKMF was a million times better than last year, maybe it was the absent of a certain failure group. LOL

    Or maybe it was bi’s sexy abs LOL xD

  8. 9 amerie November 16, 2008 at 7:05 pm

    Congratulation to WonderGirls, or JYP?
    it’s a cool catchy song so it deserves to win an award.

  9. 10 ELF November 16, 2008 at 7:07 pm

    BTW, WG also won best girl group of the year, and they also won Best MV, and their director also won an award.

    And song of the year.

  10. 11 Goober November 16, 2008 at 7:09 pm

    Lol congrats to WG or JYP?

    That’s like me saying congrats to any song writer/composer and producer that creates the song of the year winners before WG, I can’t seem to figure out why people have such an issue with JYP being a song writer, composer and producer. =P

    But anyways Congrats to WG, they were gorgeous last night, 2PM debut a little too late to win this year, but next year they will shine, they really proved themselves last night and were amazing.

  11. 12 Izumi November 16, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    Wow, I really liked that performance. They looked great and had some great stage-presence, especially on the disco rendition.

    But the one thing I can’t stand about JYP is that he always uses synthesized instrumental tracks… I’ve rarely seen any of his compositions get any real orchestration. The tango version seriously had some potential, but the horridly fake-sounding (or should I say, blatantly keyboard-obvious) strings in the backgrounds totally messed it up, especially because the piece was slowed down. The only part that sounded close to being real were the pizzicatos…

    The disco version looked amazing. The dance was very upbeat and just overall very powerful, especially since the song itself got up-tempo’ed.

    This is just a side question, but I thought all acts on the MKMF Award Ceremony had to be performed live? I was surprised because the Wonder Girls usually sing “Nobody” live, but they seemed to have lip synced this one (if I am wrong, please do let me know, but after re-watching it a few times, and having heard their other live performances many times, I am almost 100% certain that these were playbacks).

  12. 14 Serena November 16, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    love them

    hate their shiny dresses….makes them look cheap and fatter than usual….

    but congrats anways

    “i don’t want nobody, nobody but you!” to win this award wondergirls!!

  13. 15 Rin November 16, 2008 at 7:23 pm

    First off, Jaebum’s hair was badass XD I was in awe when I first saw him on the red carpet.
    Secondly, I’m glad they won song of the year. I would have been happier if they had won for “So Hot” though. That song was catchier as well as the dance.

  14. 16 jyyjc November 16, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    ^ i believed they lipsync….cuz ye eun usually doesn’t connect a certain part of her solo bridge so well when singing live. but this time she did, so yeah…well it’s all good..i guess everything has to be perfect since it’s mkmf.

  15. 17 Rin November 16, 2008 at 7:25 pm

    @ Izumi: I’m pretty sure they lip synced for this one. I watched it last night and was wondering the same thing. But now I’m positive that it wasn’t done live. They most likely did it to focus more on the dancing (which was great btw).

  16. 18 agora November 16, 2008 at 7:30 pm

    i am so happy for them, no wonder why they r crying

    if had to go through sleeping w/ a half-man half-monkey to get famous, i’d be crying when receiving the award too

    good job girls, ur pain was worth it!

  17. 19 TomatoJuice November 16, 2008 at 7:33 pm

    congrats!~

  18. 20 pi-chan November 16, 2008 at 7:47 pm

    congrats to wondergirls!!! :D

    their dance was really amazing!!~
    and i’m so glad that they lip synced xD
    if they sang live it would ruin their whole performance i think~

  19. 21 Hikki November 16, 2008 at 8:01 pm

    Yes Izumi they did lip synch, kinda like how boa lip synchs, even through promotion periods.

    Atleast this is just a special stage. =)

    Congrats to WG, and BB this year they def. owned MKMF.

  20. 22 LOLshutup November 16, 2008 at 8:05 pm

    Izumi WG is a pop idol group not a ballad/R&B group, JYP has produced plenty of non-synthesized instrumental tracks for G.O.D – 2AM and even 2PM (who are a pop group but have a few ballads) and his other R&B/Ballad artist/groups – Bi included.

    So many people get so petty whenever WG is mentioned, just shut up damn LOL.

    They did great last night and I can understand them lip synching since that disco version was pretty damn fast, it would be kind of weird to sing and esp. rap live like that.

    Plus the tango barely had any singing, so who cares? atleast they don’t lip synching during promotion…like some other ‘artist’. ^_^

    Congrats to everyone who won last night, Big bang, WG and DBSK all deserved their awards. =)

  21. 23 lazybum November 16, 2008 at 8:09 pm

    wow i’m sort of glad they lipsynced. it would have ruined the dancing otherwise. the camera swelled around too much for the tango version, i thought…

    congrats to WG!!

  22. 24 :D November 16, 2008 at 8:18 pm

    they deserved the award.
    im not a fan but i enjoyed their performance.
    goodluck ~~

  23. 25 DBSGrockkssss November 16, 2008 at 8:35 pm

    WOOT! CONGRATS GIRLS!!!

  24. 26 DISGUSTING November 16, 2008 at 8:38 pm

    Lurve this perf so far ^^
    WG is rockz!

  25. 27 rika November 16, 2008 at 8:40 pm

    lol hikki=LOLshutup

    this sad little person is still bitter about making himself look like a @sshole on the other thread and is sitll carrying around the bitterness

    man, why dont u stop being bitter, pretty much veryone in the end on the boa thread agreed that the boa fans and izum were th eones being coolheaded while u and the other attackers were being the morons w/ the insults

    i beter not see this turn into another debate thread, izumi if u read this plz just ignore that bitter person, u hav already proven that u can make ur point swithout being eomtional and whatnot

  26. 28 SOHEEFANGIRL November 16, 2008 at 8:44 pm

    WONDER GIRLS ARE THE BEST FOREVER!!!!!

  27. 29 Exodus November 16, 2008 at 8:59 pm

    i am having a hard time understand people like ‘hikki’ seirously.

    I agree w/ rika on this one, why do you take jabs at Boa, when clearly that debate should have been left on that thread? I am reading thru Izumis comments rite now, and I am not seeing any kind of a jab at anyone, unlike u

    and You dont have a clue what you’re talking about. I am Utada Hikaru’s fan first and foremost, but I also like Boa, and I will tell someone like u who is ignornat, that Boa has been performing every single promotional stage live in japan since a while back ago. Go do your research, go to youtube and look up “lose your mind” performances, all live, “love letter”, all live.

    why are you such a stuck up, you seriously as I said before make me embarased to be a Utada fan w/ ur little “Hikki” name, go change it to something else cuz ur taining our fanbase image

    and obivously ur not a reliable source of music-judging, since u contradict urself by talking crap about Boa and then say that its perfectly fine for wonder girls to be an idol group and perform lipsycnhed

  28. 30 sh. November 16, 2008 at 10:14 pm

    i think they did great for this performance..
    and totally deserved all of the awards that they have won.

    congrats, girls.

  45. 48 Empress83 November 17, 2008 at 4:10 am

    I must admit that their song is very catchy and I see why they won Song of the Year but their performance was so-so. Yeah, so they have a tango and disco version of the song now but their dancing is still the same old stale moves as before.

  46. 49 guava November 17, 2008 at 4:13 am

    ahh; love this. they did excellent!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D

  47. 50 irees November 17, 2008 at 4:18 am
