Favorite Interview

Tiffany Pollard is an Iconic Guest - Ziwe

Tiffany Pollard was introduced to the world and myself as New York from Flavor of Love. Ever since that time on the reality TV show, she has continued to stay on our TV screens and social media as an infamous celebrity. Her demeanor is both iconic and magnetizing, but combine that with the wry comedian Ziwe and you're in for an amazing time! To see these two worlds and personalities collide is quite entertaining and I have to say that this will go down as another classic interview from Ziwe. Maybe give it a watch.

Favorite Comeback

Code - Everglow

The great return of Everglow!!! Do I need to say more? Okay, I will. I'm so happy that they have gotten to move away from their old label and continue on as a group, even if all of the members weren't able to join the comeback. They come through with a title track that fits in snuggly to their usual song, but still tantalizes the eardrums. I highly recommend giving the whole EP a listen! Welcome back, ladies!

Favorite Kpop Interview

Asking Yves to Rank Every Yves Song - InternetsNathan

We have another Kpop Ranked with a former LOONA lady and I couldn't be anymore pleased. It was intriguing to see how she views her history and discography firsthand here. I only wish there were a couple of the songs that got to be included in the rankings because there were some that had music videos (namely Ex Machina) that still didn't quite get a mention. Other than that, it was a great watch and I think any fan would find it worth their time.

Miko's Music Stats 2020

I know I haven't been doing the "Most Shocking/Disappointing/WTF Asian Music Moments" in a few years, but I wanted to try something more personal and different. I haven't been the best at keeping up with music. In fact, I have a massive backlog on my iTunes library dating back to 2014/2015. It's really disgusting! Nonetheless, I have been listening to more Spotify to somewhat keep up with what's new. So, here's some stats from my last.fm [and Spotify].

Favorite TV Analysis

The Neurosis of Cat Valentine - CJ the X

This video...ooh, this video! Well, it's quite the trip to put it bluntly. CJ definitely presents this video so well, I felt the almost hour and a half whiz by with an ease. Victorious along with Sam & Cat were never shows that I really watched being outside of the demographic, but I was highly aware of the role Ariana played in the series. Or I thought I did until I watched this deep analysis into the psyche of the character she portrayed. Truly everything about this is entertaining, so please give it a watch!

Favorite Interview

Purple Kiss w/ Edward Avila

Edward is a character. That's what makes him so disarming in front of the idols he gets to interview. That leads to some of the funniest moments, all accented by his impeccable editing. In this particular interview, Purple Kiss got to demonstrate just how talented they are along with displaying their hilarious personalities. I'll never forget the many spontaneous moments throughout the video and I'll return to it fondly each time. Your thoughts?

Favorite Rap Performance

Mushroom Trip Freestyle - Wax

Wax has been at it again. He's got quite a few songs he's been drip feeding us lately and this one just brought me back to when I was first discovering him. The incredible technical ability he has and ridiculous sense of humor he injects in his material always has me grinning from ear to ear. This is a seasoned veteran just doing a simple verbal workout and I'm here for it. If you like BARS, enjoy this healthy serving!

Favorite Title Track

First - Everglow

I'm not quite sure I'm comfortable saying that Everglow has my favorite comeback as a whole, but I'm certain that this title track reigns superior. The music video, the styling, the production, the singing, the rapping, and, most importantly, the CHOREOGRAPHY!!! If these haven't proven that they're a performance based group to you yet, this here will be all the convincing you will need. The charisma in every step, facial expression, and vocal delivery is palpable. These girls came to slay and to come FIRST!
