SUPERMAN vs MR. SIMPLE which one is the BEST ?



Selama kurun waktu satu minggu dan menembus view 4 juta, lantas apakah Mr. Simple memang dilabeli sebagai salah satu HITS song Superjunior selama satu dekade ?
Bagi para fans hal tersebut pastinya akan dijawab dengan 3 huruf yakni YES. Siapa yang meragukan bahwa lirik dan melodi Mr Simple yang adiktif dan bikin kepala mangut – mangut ini disebut sebagai karya gagal ? Meski banyak nada – nada sumbang menilai bahwa etos kerja sang komposer Yoo Young Jin di lagu ini tidaklah menyamai etos-nya di Sorry – Sorry
Kali ini, mari kita menengok sejenak dengan pikiran kritis meski sedikit radikal. Artikel ini hendaklah jangan dilihat dan dibaca dengan dahi berkerut. Baca saja sesuai judulnya Mr. Simple ~ LOL ! Kita akan belajar bagaimana caranya menjadi seorang krtikus musik yang tidak membabi buta menilai sebuah lagu dari sisi seorang “fandom”.
SM atau Yoo Young Jin, apakah mereka pernah berpikir jauh ke depan bahwa menempatkan lagu SUPERMAN menjadi sebuah opening intro promosi Mr Simple membawa “gelombang” yang sedikit menghambat laju Mr. Simple itu sendiri ?
Para kritikus musik menilai, dibandingkan dengan Mr. Simple yang menjadi hot-track dan dipasang sebagai lagu andalan di album ke 5 ini, justru malah sebaliknya. Lagu yang diibaratkan “si anak tiri” ini malah menjadi satu – satunya lagi yangdipuji memiliki “kualitas” Superior.
Dibanding Mr Simple, justru lagu Superman-lah yang betul – betul membawa image sebagai lagu “superior” dengan beat kompleks ditambah line penutup  “the last man standing” ~ Meski hanya berdurasi 2 menit, tapi waktu yang singkat tersebut cukup mengijinkan sebuah lagu ini mencitrakan Superjunior sebagai King of Hallyu.
Point singkat dari lagu Superman yang membawa pujian adalah dimana melalui lagu inilah masing – masing personel SJ diberi kesempatan dalam porsi yang memadai untuk menunjukan “best point” mereka dalam musikalitas.
Bahkan bagi trio Kyuhyun, Ryeowook, and Yesung‘s individuL line yang mereka nyanyikan selain benar – benar memperlihatkan kualitas suara mereka juga turut memberi ruang bagi ketiganya menunjukan style bernyanyi yang berbeda satu sama lain. Sesuatu yang mungkin sulit kita jumpai di lagu – lagu ballad mereka selain Sorry sorry answer. Donghae dan Eunhyuk –pun sepertinya bisa senang karena mereka mendapat porsi rap mereka dan menunjukan bahwa inilah kali pertama mereka semua mendapat porsi seimbang di sebuah lagu.
Tapi pertanyaannya, adalah mengapa SM justru tidak memasukan lagu “superior” ini ke dalam album Mr. Simple ? dan malah memasang lagu Opera sebagai single kedua ? hal tersebut yang selalu disayangkan oleh para kritikus. Mereka menilai SM seolah tidak melihat “gajah” di pelupuk mata.
Bagaimana mungkin lagu superman yang dinilai salah satu lagu SJ terbaik setelah Sorry Sorry malah hanya mendapat jatah promosi 1 minggu  atau hanya beberapa bulan kedepan ? Mereka miris melihat betapa SM bersusah payah menambahkan autotune dan segala efek di dalam album Mr Simple agar terasa lebih “wah” tapi malah menggarap setengah hati lagu yang justru memiliki nilai “musikalitas” bagi Super Junior itu sendiri.
Bahkan Material teaser e 2 Mr simple jauh lebih “nyambung” dengan Superman. Apakah SM sudah kehilangan daya kreatifitas mereka ? Yoo Young Jin sendiri yang merupakan salah satu talent material kepunyaan SM yang melahirkan berbagai HIT lagu sepertinya malah justru terbebani bahwa yang lagu – lagu ciptaannya haruslah lagu – lagu yang bisa menjadi HIT dan mengikuti Trend.
Dan pad akhirnya ia malah terjebak dalam dimensi dimana ia harus mengesampingkan idealisme-nya sebagai komposer dalam mencipta lagu. Yoo Young Jin seolah meninggalkan esensi musikalitas dan kreatifitas sebuah lagu dan terjebak dalam trend musik yang berada di jalur yang sama. “ Yang penting adiktif dan jadi HIT “
Superjunior terbebani dengan konsep sorry Sorry dan Bonamana. Okelah bila disebut mengikuti komposisi melodi SJ FUNKY atau apalah itu. Padahal, kalau boleh jujur, terkadang fans-pun justru merindukan originalitas dan musik yang jauh lebih “dewasa” dibanding sebelumnya. Tidak ada seorang-pun dari kita yang memaksa bahwa lagu mereka haruslah SJ Funky. Kita tentunya lebih menginginkan lagu yang mungkin lebih “berisi” dan memiliki “bobot”
Superjunior is a MAN not SUPERMAN…but SUPERMAN is a SUPERIOR song for SUPERJUNIOR

Profil Yesung Super Junior




Kim Jong-woon (김종운) or Yesung (예성) is a lead vocal of Korean Boyband Super Junior. Yesung is one of the three lead vocalists of the super boy band Super Junior. He was once a radio host for his own radio program, M.I.R.A.C.L.E for You, which ended its broadcast in September 2007. His stage name Yesung (Hanja: 藝聲) is translated to “art-like voice” and is derived from the phrase “예술가의 성대”, meaning “vocal chords of an artist.”
Yesung History

Yesung was born in Cheonan, South Chungcheong, has a younger brother, Kim Jong-jin. At a young age, he has expressed interest in singing. In 1999, Yesung joined a broadcasted singing competition and won gold at the Chun-an Singing Competition. In 2001, Yesung’s mother signed him up to audition for SM Entertainment’s Starlight Casting System, a casting audition that selects artists to sign under the label. He impressed the judges with his “artistic voice”, and signed under SM Entertainment that same year. In late 2004, Yesung was recruited into the large all-male rotational boy band Super Junior.

On November 6, 2005, Yesung officially debuted on SBS’s music program Popular Songs as a member of Super Junior 05, the first generation of Super Junior. The group performed their first single “TWINS (Knock Out)” with an audience of about 500 fans. A full studio album was released a month later, which debuted at #3 on the monthly MIAK K-pop album

In March 2006, SM Entertainment began to recruit new members for the next Super Junior generation. However, plans changed when the company added in a thirteenth member, Kyuhyun, and the company declared a halt in forming future Super Junior generations. The group dropped the suffix “05″ and became officially credited as Super Junior. The re-polished group hit big after they released their first CD single “U” the following summer, which became Super Junior’s most successful single in the music charts until the release of “Sorry, Sorry” in March 2009.

During his career with Super Junior, Yesung was put into two subgroups, smaller groups that are branched off of the larger Super Junior group. In November 2006, Yesung was placed in Super Junior’s first subgroup, Super Junior-K.R.Y, a group specializing in singing mournful, R&B ballads. Almost two years later, Yesung became a member of Super Junior-Happy. On May 10, 2008, Yesung was sent to the hospital after he collapsed from running 70 kilometers for a charity marathon. On August 8, Yesung was sent to the hospital again after falling from a 1.5m stage while rehearsing a performance for the KBS music program, Music Bank. The injury severed his old injuries from the neck and waist and Yesung was not treated out of the hospital until two days later.

Yesung alone contributed in the drama OST, Tazza, a highly rated drama which started on September 16, 2008. He sang 사랑참아프다 (Love Really Hurts). This ballad song has been consistently used during the drama itself. He has performed the song live several times, including in the 3rd Anniversary Party of Super Junior.

Yesung Hosting

From September 2006 to September 2007, Yesung was a host for his own radio program, M.I.R.A.C.L.E for You, where members of Super Junior often appear as guests. However, before the radio show’s first anniversary, Yesung had to end the program so he could concentrate on Super Junior’s second album, Don’t Don. The last air date for the radio show was September 8, 2007.

Yesung Acting

Yesung’s career began in the summer of 2007 with the release of Attack on the Pin-Up Boys, a high school comedy starring the whole of Super Junior. Yesung stars as the school’s rock star who gets attacked by a mysterious force, which shoots him toward national stardom. In 2009, Yesung was casted to play Jung Myung-soo in the musical South Korean Mountain Fortress, which will show from October 9 to November 4, 2009. He is currently performing in the musical Hong Gil Dong, alongside group mate Sungmin.

Yesung sing Cinderella’s Sister OST song on Music Bank

Fans of Super Junior’s Yesung can rejoice now as it was revealed that he would be having a solo stage on the June 4th episode of Music Bank.

Besides performing BONAMANA with Super Junior, Yesung will be singing It Has To Be You by himself, which is the main OST song for popular KBS2TV drama, Cinderella’s Sister.
The song had received really good reviews from everyone and Yesung has also got a lot of praise for his soothing voice. The song in fact was so popular that it ranked highly in Music Bank’s K-Chart at one time despite not promoting it.

With Cinderella’s Sister ending on June 3rd, it would be a satisfying bonus to see Yesung perform the song live on stage tomorrow.

Yesung’s single It Has to be You’ is Successively on No. 1 on Nate Charts

Up to April 24th, according to bestiz and Nate ringtone charts, Yesung with ‘It Has To Be You’ had been on #1 spot for 15 days on Nate Ringtone chart and 21 days on Nate Coloring chart.
Currently he has fallen from no1 but come on, ‘It Has To Be You’ was released on March 31st, and it has been doing extremely well, beyond everyone’s expectations I believe.

Extra information, I hope you guys still remember the Digital Music Award on Cyworld – the competition between Yesung and Bi. There are 5 days left till the D-day. This is Yesung’s percentage so far: 54% versus 46%, Yesung leading!

Mr. Simple Super Junior


Kata berita di soompi nih, "Mr. Simple" menceritakan tentang orang-orang jaman sekarang yang terus-terusan bekerja dan hidup tanpa mimpi, cinta dan kepuasan. Lagu ini nantinya akan muncul dengan ciri khas Super Junior yang energik, memabukkan (huhuhuhu membuat terpukau kali ya maksudnya), dan koreo yang keren.


Selain lagu Mr.Simple ada lagu-lagu lain seperti :
"Good Friends" --> cerita awal mereka bertemu dan persahabatan diantara mereka
"Opera" ---> Full dance (moga tar dancenya se keren dance "Sorry Sorry")
"Y" ---> lagu yang di tulis oleh Fish ^^ Wah Donghae nulis lagu lagi setelah "Beautiful". Lagu "Y" genrenya R&B
"Odd Imagination" ---> remake dari lagu hit JINU
Terus ada untuk K.R.Y, yang ballad gitu ---> "My Love, My Kiss, My Heart"
"La la la la" (Be My Girl)---> yang di tulis oleh Park Joon Soo (yang nulis "It Has To Be You") menurut info daei YesungCenter sih nih lagu tar Yesung yang naynyi (huaaaaaaaaa..most wanted deh kalu gitu lagu ini hahahahahaha)
"Feels Good" ---> katanya sih seperti sedang nonton musikal gitu
