Big Bang (Korean: 빅뱅), commonly stylized as BIGBANG, is a Korean boyband made up of five Korean singers. Although their debut was somewhat successful, it was not until the release of "거짓말" ("Lies") that the group gained mainstream success.

2009: Branching out
The group went on a break in early 2009, with all of them pursuing solo activities. During this time, they collaborated with 2NE1, a new girl group from their entertainment company and also being called The Female Big Bang, for the song "Lollipop"; they filmed a music video for it as well. Although it was a song used to promote a cell phone, it has since hit #1 on various online charts.
After their success with "Lollipop", the group released their first Japanese single named "My Heaven" in May 2009, their major debut in Japan. The song is a Japanese translation of their song "Heaven" from the EP Stand Up.[citation needed], and was composed by acclaimed Japanese composer Daishi Dance. Due to an interesting promotional campaign in which the group performed on several Morning News programs, Big Bang's single debuted at a surprisingly high no. 3 on the Oricon Charts.
Later in 2—0, Big Bang released their second Japanese single titled "Gara Gara Go!" on July 8, 2009 which reached number 5 on the Oricon charts.[19] "Gara Gara Go!!" marked the group's first performances on some of Japan's major music shows, like Hey!Hey!Hey! Music Champ and Music Station. With the release of two successful Japanese singles, Big Bang released their first full-length Japanese album under Universal Music, aptly titled Big Bang, which charted in at No. 3.
Almost immediately after the release of their first album, Big Bang returned to Korea. On August 18, G-Dragon released his first solo album titled Heartbreaker which was, despite fair amounts of controversy, a great success. Fellow member Taeyang is set to release his second solo during November and it has been confirmed that filming for his single "Where U At" has been completed.
On October 15, 2009, Big Bang announced their first tie-up with a Japanese drama; they will be providing the theme song for TBS's Friday night drama Ohitorisama starring Alisa Mizuki and Teppei Koike. The official release of this new Japanese single entitled "Koe Wo Kikasete" will be on November 4, 2009.
On October 27, 2009 Big Band Release a new single called Let Me Hear Your Voice.

Musical styles
Big Bang's music style can be classified for the most part as hip pop music (as seen with the songs "La, La, La" and "Goodbye Baby"), with a little vibe of R&B (as seen with the songs "We Belong Together" and "Forever With You"), dance ("Shake It") and mainstream ("This Love") music. Rock with "Oh My Friend". Finally, becoming the greatest hit songs of 2007, (as seen with the songs "Lies", "Last Farewell", and "Haru Haru (Day By Day)") electronica is seemingly becoming the new music trend in Korea. However, the members have branched out into different genres in their solo work, including singing ballads and mainstream pop music. Big Bang even once mentioned in an interview that if they want to, they might do trot someday. Daesung's first digital single, "Look at Me, GwiSun" ("날 봐, 귀순"), was a trot song, which had been somewhat controversial considering Big Bang's primary focus on hip-hop.
The members of Big Bang often contribute to writing lyrics for their own music as well as composing despite only debuting in 2006. The most notable from the group to compose and write is leader G-Dragon, as he has composed and written numerous songs for the group, including "Lies" and "Last Farewell." Aside from G-Dragon, the others members have contributed to writing lyrics as well. T.O.P has also written a song for their third mini album Stand up, called "Good Man". On a whole, Big Bang has received praises from critics, fans, and other singers alike for contributions to their own materials.

Dance style
Big Bang often rely on free style and street dancing (as evidenced in their music video for "Good Bye Baby"). They are choreographed by world-class choreographer Shaun Evaristo, (as seen in "Number 1" and "With U" music videos) who also choreographs their concerts and Taeyang's solo projects. They do break dancing as well. Like the popular boy band Shinhwa, Big Bang's own unique style of dancing is credited to a member of theirs, Seungri. Seungri has choreographed some of Big Bang's moves (such as the jump rope dance from "Last Farewell") and has been noted for this.

Baby'chan, laba de pe GD!! [IMG]http://i644.pho

G Dragon face parte din rupa Big Bang[prescurtat BB]. Si nu inteeg de ce l-ati pus la j-rock... ca 1) canta rap sau pop uneori si 2) nu e japonez. Ma rogg...
Oricum.. mi-e mila de el... A suferit depresii, acum un an sau doi, daca nu ma insel. Avea prea mult de munca si probleme cu dragostea. Aaa.. el compune melodiile celor de Big bang varianta feminina, parca. Sau cel putin stiu ca le ajuta cu inregistratu si stuffuri ca astea... Iar melodia My love e cumparata pentru fata care i-a frant inima. Dar de mult timp... Mai stiu cate ceva.. intrebati-ma daca vreti.
Eu cu Mary vrem sa facem un site oficial Big Bang.. doar ca trebuie sa primeasca Mary aprobarea de la Daesung [IMG]http://i644.pho

PS: Asa arata pana in vara cand s-a vopsit...

Am citit parca undeva ca GD a fost dat in judecata[sau ceva de genu] de flo-rida pentru ca a plagiat x3 Cica heartbreaker e plagiata dupa right round ^^" eu stiu ca sunt surda da nu prea`mi seamana

Subiect: Re: Big Bang Dum Dec 20, 2009 1:33 am

Imi dai un cookie daca iti demonstrez ca seamana *griiins*

[IMG]http://i644.pho

si da, a fost acuzat doar de plagiarism, nu numai la "heartbreaker", dar si la "butterfly" - se zicea ca se aseamana cu o melodiei a formatiei Oasis.
But Teddy explained all to the Americans, si nu cred ca a mai platit ceva amenda [IMG]http://i644.pho

Bubble gum pop? are you kidding me? =))))))))))))))))
Did you ever heard "Jiggy" by F.cuz? that's bubble gum pop <3333

Ce canta Daesung acolo e asemanator cu stilul lui Michael Buble.

And my personal-likes say that Daesung is too much better with the hyungs.

Subiect: Re: Big Bang Dum Ian 31, 2010 12:13 am

Cum spui tu...
Oricum.. Daesung are o voce superba. Nu am spus ca nu are. Doar ca i se potriveste mai mult stilul normal. Nu-mi place stilul asta dulce... Ascult de multe ori numai partile lui. O sa ascult albumul sau solo. Chiar daca.. hm.. nu e pe gustu meu.
Btw.. O prietena mi-a spus ca e posibil sa scoata si Vic.

Subiect: Re: Big Bang Dum Ian 31, 2010 4:31 pm

Hmmm...
Pai din cate am inteles eu, inainte de "BigShow" cam toti trebuia sa aiba un single ^_^
Si da, Daesung are o voce superba, doar ca stiul asta din single nu e cam potrivit pentru el, daca era ceva in gen "Koe wo kikasete" era PURE LOVE! <3

Ador melodia aia:X lui Daesung ii prind bine melodiile lente. dar el a ales asta>_>
