Eyed Girls is a group that had such an amazing debut album.
Unfortunately their debut album,Your Story didn’t receive as much
love as they wanted and they revamped their sound, opting for a

have had that much success in 2006, but it is definitely on of the
best debut albums I ever heard.
SISTAR is one of those groups that get the short end of the stick. The songs they get aren’t really showing off all of their talent; most of the time it’s more like the Hyorin and the others show. As a group, they haven’t really been on my listening radar; most of their songs are just mediocre. Continue reading SISTAR So Cool
