Kara wants to be Wondergirls and Girls Generation

kara_081128

With the wrapping up of the comeback of Wondergirls and the contingent comeback of Girls Generation, Kara has recently unveiled their new concept and title song for their second mini album.

Although a smart move on DSP Entertainment, who are they trying to kid?

The new concept is an odd mixture of both Wondergirls and Girls Generation. Looking at their teaser, they mix in close ups of themselves looking cute, kind of like Girls Generation in their first music video, and bright colors with the aerobic type choreography, sort of like the Wondergirls in “Tell Me”.

They probably should have stuck with the mature image they tried to debut with instead of mixing the concepts of the previous, more popular girl groups.

Will it work?

Perhaps- if that means trying to steal fans from other girls groups (cough cough).

Check out more photos and their teaser below.

    Anyone saying KARA are singers need serious help, like SERIOUS help rofl.

    I don’t give a crap what Wonder girls songs rely on, they are pop singers afterall and they seem to be relying on something that works considering SNSD is scared as hell to come back and considering Kara has been ripping their concepts once they’re done with them rofl.

    More power to WG I guess lmao. I havn’t even heard them sing before but I have heard Kara, and they’re pretty awful. lol and all the girls in the group are f*cking ugly. it’s weird. lol

    LOL at those people getting angry at her for looking like sohee..umm what do you want her to do? XD
    the lyrics kinda sucks…engrish much?

    I think they’re trying to get the young teen market, not the 15 and above since some members are younger. It does look like they’re trying to be Wonder Girls catchy. But cuter as they still carry the cute image they have with Rock U.

    On a different note, I didn’t like Rock U very much at first… But when I heard the guitar again…it really goes well with them.

    I like WG-KARA-SNSD and I hate when people always complain and compare them !
    They are so different from each other but I think people (oversea) are blind by SNSD or WG and don’t want to give a chance to others ; always ready to attact without any rational behaviour and always pretending to know as if they are professional while they are just simple listerners who most of time don’t even know a little thing about music !
    KARA are not trying to copy someone els : Tell Me concept (That’s really funny Lol.) ’cause was’t it retro, and for Girl’s generaion the concept was girlish !
    Wonder Girls are just popular because of the song they promote while the others songs are bad but even if KARA songs are not great they are nice to hear.

    Um… okay… whatever you think works KARA.

    Although I have to admit those still pictures of them look cute.

    All the best.

  11. 13 anglica December 3, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    I liked their old concept better. “Break it” was good. That sleepy eyed chic looks like a fake Soo Hee…

  12. 14 Hyorish December 3, 2008 at 12:17 pm

    The first part even look like U Go Girl….

    So Hyori-Wondergirls-SNSD???

  13. 15 KARA December 3, 2008 at 1:13 pm

    WOOOTT WOOOOT KARA’s back!!! i miss them… oh they are really like HECKA pretty!!! FIGHTING!!

  14. 16 Eunice December 3, 2008 at 7:20 pm

    Whoa, they even look startlingly like members of the Wonder Girls. 0_0;

  15. 17 faust December 3, 2008 at 10:02 pm

    People say that KARA and failure and not popular.. Looking at these blogs and the comments… i say KARA is now popular.. if people dont know them, then why are they talking about them? Just because the one who posted this blog says that KARA copied from the others does not mean that they really copy from them… LOL.. Have you heard KARA sing live? Try listening to Secret World (live) and If U Wanna (live).. Rock U too, with the school girl uniforms? They can totally sing in live…

  16. 18 kuroxkitsuneX3 December 4, 2008 at 9:20 am

    lime.: You may be laughing but there is a reason why WG has been getting so famous lately, and it’s definitely not their dance moves or their voices (at least for some of them).

    As for Kara, just based on this song, they have potential but they need the right song and image. This song is HORRIBLE and no matter how good someone’s voice is, they can’t salvage a bad song, there’s a difference.

    and tiffa: Most of the members of WG are around that age and they have a lot more maturity compared to this concept. WG always had a more down-to-earth vibe during interviews and shows and even with their concepts they’ve always been mature. Just because you’re young doesn’t mean you can’t be mature. ._.

    faust, if you have not realised, just because people are talking about kara doesn’t mean they are popular. if all these comments were talking about how much they hate them does that make them popular I DON’T THINK SO!!!

  18. 20 WuZZup!! December 4, 2008 at 8:14 pm

    oh my noo! not good, the will never own up to WG levle, anywhoo. not with this song.

  20. 22 jay December 7, 2008 at 4:24 pm

    wg are sooooo overrated tho omg

  21. 23 meiria December 7, 2008 at 4:55 pm

    i think pretty girl is a good song
    i hope the best for them

  22. 24 faust December 9, 2008 at 11:26 pm

    No… But everyone talking about them makes them popular right? these would attract more fans and non fans.. If too amny people would know they exist and if they listend to their music, they would be fans.. more fans means more popularity.. Duh? Think rational

  23. 25 riki December 13, 2008 at 4:25 am

    who is this extra person? there are suppose to be only 4. and they now suck like SNSD with that bubble gum pop mess. i hope the rest of their new material isnt like that cause their first album was AWESOME. love if you wanna, secret world and break it

  24. 26 carolinevue December 16, 2008 at 9:42 am

    i don’t really know why people complaining. since most people wanted KARA to be more of cutey looking and mature like WG & GG but now that they are they get hated. o well.

    - i dont know if they will beat wg. sort of doubt it. but i love them most. i hope that even though they can’t beat wg they can be one day able to stand on the same stage or level as wg.

    i think they have vocals. dont know about the two new members. never really hear them sing. but i hope this works out.

    &&&&& dont blame them for their wrongful grammar. do u know how hard it is to put music and lyrics together???

    -i dont think so. i know since i tried. ok. and it sort of DSP fault for not getting them better lyrics.

  25. 27 SHINee-4EVA!!! December 19, 2008 at 6:21 pm

    honestly, Wonder Girls pawns KARA hands down! Ye eun, Sunye and Sunmi has better vocals than all of the KARA members… they are cute and all, but vocally their just ok… the new members hardly get to sing… Sohee can’t sing, she didn’t audition to be a singer but an actress… she has other talents to… and let me see, Nicole and Yoobin are the rappers right? well i think we all know the winner is Yoobin… so please don’t start claiming how KARA has more talent than Wonder Girls…

    don’t call me a WG fangirl, because i’m a fan of SNSD!

  26. 28 elloitzamber December 23, 2008 at 7:36 am

    wow they sound a lot better than the WG
    i am a total WG fan but i gotta break it to you
    KARA has a cute image going on but their voices are a lot better
    and watching their live performances.. they sound a lot better than WG’s live

    i dont dislike WG i love them Sohee too cute (even though her singing is horrible)

    its all about this image things these days not even about talent T_T

  27. 29 ella December 23, 2008 at 8:18 am

    They have nice voices, and to me, they’re the prettiest girlgroup out there!

    But their songs kinda suck and I really hate their “cute” concept.

  28. 30 pretinikka December 31, 2008 at 3:41 am

    woah! they dont have originality!
    huh as if thay will be wonder girls!
    nver wonder girls is just one!
    no one will get into their level! or no one will surpass them!!
    goodluck “kara”
    oohh they have a name
    well why dont they do it “wonder generation”
    kara??kara??

  29. 31 Sjei_Wqsm May 27, 2009 at 11:17 pm

    You can’t compare Wonder Girls and SNSD with Kara because it’s kind of a young group, much younger than WG&SNSD. Even if they DO succeed, the first people they have to thank are WG&SNSD, because they are the ones who opened they way to girl bands!!!
