Week 8

Guess who's still here?! Last week's panel champ was Eru, but you guys seemed to like EvoL, our runner up, much more than we did. In our defense, it was a really, really close call. I love how we keep breaking our personal records -- three weeks in a row!

I say this calls for a celebration, which we partially get in the form of all the great music we get to talk about again. Doramachan joins us for Week 8, when we review less rookie groups, two to be exact, a sibling duet, an established girl group, and a whopping three solo acts! Shall we?

This week's panel features permanent panelists:

Nikki @ Pop Reviews Now
Mel @ Melismatic
McRoth @ McRoth's Residence

And special guests:

Ree @ Colour Me Splendid
Doramachan @ Toronto To Tokyo

Week 7

Two weeks in a row? AMAZING. Last week, our fave was BEAST's "Beautiful Night", and it just so happened to be your fave, too!

Yep, we pulled it together again and are analyzing picks from a handful of rookies, an established balladeer, the re-fusion of two idol groups and a troLOL for ishes and giggles. So who is our coveted fave? Read on to find out who we dug and who we detested...and be sure to vote for your faves on the sidebar!

Week 6

I know, I can't believe it either. WE'RE FINALLY BACK. FINALLY. After last year's attempt at week 6, which might just see the light very soon (believe me, it's too good not to publish), we managed to wrangle ourselves, and a few friends, into a proper week six! So much has changed since week 5, but it's good to know that we're all still here, and we still have it in us!

Week 5: THE BIG BIG COMEBACK!

Guess who's back? We're all aware that it's been almost a year since our last panel, and we're really really sorry for the prolonged delay, but it's been impossible to get us all together, no matter how much we wanted to. With Nikki going off to college and starting her new job with Soompi (and now doing single reviews!), Mel REALLY busy with work (and Halloween!), and McRoth taking the throne as allkpop's resident (and only!) reviewer, things just weren't pointing to another panel. BUT ALAS, we're finally able to clear out our schedules for a MASSIVE kpop panel comeback. And believe us when we say MASSIVE.

We're not just talking about a gazillion songs thrown into one post, although our comeback does have that. Yes, our comeback is a riot. :D Of course we have our staples, Nikki, Mel and McRoth, but we've also brought back past guests rcLoy and Elvin. Poster Girl is MIA at the moment, but we'll have her back someday! (hopefully) And Jio and Paul are busy with life in general, but we'll have them back too! AAAAAAND, the last panelist is a very, VERY special guest, because without him this panel would never have existed in the first place. The idea for the kpop panel came from Mike of Pop Trash Addicts and his LEGENDARY Pop Panel, which Nikki guested on one week. And this week, Mike joins us! FINALLY!

This week's panel features permanent panelists:
Nikki @ Pop Reviews Now
Mel @ Melismatic
McRoth @ McRoth's Residence

  Past guest panelists:
rcLoy @ unrcloyable
Elvin Mensah @ J. Mensah's Billboard Files

And the father of all pop panels:
Mike @ Pop Trash Addicts

Watch This Space...

...

Hold That Thought

Due to the fact that Nikki's in China and Mel is busy kidnapping JYJ when they stop by New York (*breathe*,  Cassies -- she's only joking...somewhat), Week 5 will be coming a little late. Standby and watch this space.

Week 4

*jumps out from makeshift stage*
Week 4 is here, and while Mel is busy recovering from halloween (I've already sent her some DBSK videos, don't worry), we're busy getting down to business. And by business we mean this week's panel. We're back to the "regular" 6 songs this week, with new releases from MBLAQ, 4Minute, Rainbow, Co-Ed School, 2AM and SNSD. Let's not beat around the bush - shall we?

This week's panel features permanent panelists:
Nikki @ Pop Reviews Now
Mel @ Melismatic
McRoth @ McRoth's Residence
