Alright, so for DBSK’s fourth album, I was as pumped as anything. I stayed up until 2 in the morning for updates, I woke up really early to stalk soompi for news…all that jazz. Fourth album came out, and OMG IT IS SO AMAZING!! These guys have rediculous talent that cannot be compared to anyone. They are simply in a category of their own. <3

But recently, I started to recieve information. (mostly from Carol…we were half watching Super Show, half playing with her new PSP, and half on facebook, and half looking at random Kpop-related things…) This information left me speechless; until now. Right now, I am not so speechless.

A good (>:[or bad) number songs on Dong Bang Shin Ki's fourth album, Mirotic, are just remakes of other songs that SM bought from other people. These original songs, and DBSK's songs sound EXACTLY THE SAME. I am upset. The boys have enough talent to run a small village in Africa for a few million years, and they're stuck BUYING and REMAKING songs.

This lead to my investigation of exactly how many songs have been bought by TVXQ. And omg. The floodgates opened. There are so many Enligh demos of their songs.

노을..바라보다 (Picture Of You) The song the hit me hardest was the song that everyone kept saying Junsu wrote. I am here to inform (and sadden) you that Junsu did not write the song, he merely put lyrics to a song that already existed. Granted, his lyrics are 503243098 times better, and DBSK has vocal-powers that could kill Sarah Brightman, but it's frustrating. I know they have WAY enough awesome to write their own music. If they must buy music, can't they at least use music that hasn't been sung already?

Beautiful You Re-titled 'Ordinary' by Wayne Brady. Don't get me wrong, all props to Wayne Brady, but still. Aaaaahhhh...The info on wikipedia says that it was a remake of an old R&B song, so it's most likely that TVXQ and Wayne Brady both remade the song. It's just sad that it sounds theeeeeeee sssssaaaaaammmmmmmmeeeeeeee. [same] I will always love DBSK way more because they are so amazing, but I wish their version was even slightly different.

Mirotic Re-titled ‘Under My Skin’ by Sarah Connor. Honestly, I think she’s acting like a whore in the video, so don’t watch it unless you haven’t heard her version yet. If you aren’t up to date on the drama that went down about this song, both companies, SM and whoever signed Sarah Connor, bought the song from the same source. That’s what happened. TVXQ is still better. But. *whines*

Wrong Number WHY DOES IT SOUND THE SAME?!

Box in the Ship; Box in the Ship (Reggae) I had no idea that they bought so many of their songs. :[ I had always thought they wrote their own songs. But noooo. D: This song is really fun, regardless.

Ride On originally named ‘Is it Alright?’ WHAAAA.

Zion Really? ‘Remedy’ Well, it’s just weird.

Most of it is from http://www.phraseddifferently.com So. I was poking around, and that’s what I found. Also, Crazy Life is one of their songs also, but I couldn’t find a link for you.

Does anyone else have an opinion on this? Or is this just me, and I’m freaking too much? Blaaaaaaaaah……..

I mean, I knew that most artists didn’t write their own music, but I…I don’t know. I just thought that TVXQ had written more than they did…
I wish that they wouldn’t say where they got their music. I was perfectly happy being oblivious!!!
