Fairest Of Them All: Best and Worst Artist of 2011
Written by Subi On December 31, 2011
“It was the best of times, it was the worst of times, it was the age of wisdom, it was the age of foolishness, it was the epoch of belief, it was the epoch of incredulity, it was the season of Light, it was the season of Darkness, it was the spring of hope, it was the winter of despair, we had everything before us, we had nothing before us (A Tale of Two Cities, Charles Dickens)”
The Best Artist of 2011
1. Brown Eyed Girls
With their fourth full-length album “Sixth Sense,” the Brown Eyed Girls are changing Korean Pop as we know it. Brown Eyed Girls don’t simply speak to ears—they speak to the mind and soul. Technically and conceptually, they are at the top of their game. But they are working in a register that requires more than that. Their work is able to amalgamate a variety of sounds, sublimate new genres, and create new languages through which these sassy, sexy ladies can communicate their thoughts and ideas. Not only are they making work that is entertaining, they are also making work that makes you think. They are easing the tension between mainstream music and “other” music, using and demonstrating their own musical innovations to rebel against the mainstream template all the while maintaining mainstream appeal. While JYJ may be striving for the same successes, the Brown Eyed girls are striving and accomplishing. They are merging quantity and quality and actively engaging the audience of Hallyu with a power that is all their own. And for belting and honing their own voice in a sea of idols that are merely miming and mumbling, the Brown Eyed Girls are the Best Artist of the Year.
–Subi
Picking a worst artist in K-pop is kind of like shooting fish in a barrel–there’s just something not fair about it. There were some sub-par debuts from the likes of Stellar and Taken, but they’re only rookies who don’t know any better (although their companies should). But these veterans know better and it’s disappointing to see these acts flounder.
