Passport: John Park (of American Idol Fame) Competes on Korea’s Superstar K

Posted on by

On the last season of American Idol, John Park stood out for his crooner voice and ability to nearly charm the pants off of Shania Twain. John made it to the live semi-finals where he quickly fell into the middle of the pack and was ultimately voted off due to his flat performances and poor song choices. Personally I thought he’d be just another singer who comes and goes from the public radar but it looks like he’s giving his singing career via reality TV another shot. Superstar K, which has a lot in common with The X Factor and American Idol, is a Korean singing competition now in it’s second season. It was a run away hit and John appeared during the audition show and is rumored to be in the final top 10. He decided to sing Alicia Key’s “If I Ain’t Got You” along with a cool rendition of the Wonder Girls’ “2 Different Tears“. Judging from his audition below, he still has some issues with stage presence and “star quality”, but as the female judges Lena Park & Tasha exclaim, he’s still got that charm. Tiger JK and Seo In Young are the other judges in this episode. Gotta love JK’s closing comment “You gotta show American Idol wassup man.”

*Note: mNet’s been taking these clips down from Youtube with a vengeance, so I tried a different host. I can’t promise the clip will be up forever.

The past day or so Roscoe Umali has been tweeting some incredibly exciting news that I’ll just quote verbatim.

First:

@RoscoeUmali X @IllmindProducer X @DrunkenTigerJK X @Yoonmirae = 2010 Classic BoomBap Shit!!!! STAY TUNED!!!!!

Second:

It’s not a Rumor: @RoscoeUmali X @DrunkenTiger X @Yoonmirae X Lupe Fiasco X Kanye West = Korea!!! August 9th!!! LETS GO!!!!!

In general, all I can say is OH… EM… GEE. So it looks like there’s gonna be another track with Roscoe, DT, and Tasha onboard, only it’ll be produced by the legendary Illmind. ON TOP OF THAT, it seems like their gonna join Lupe Fiasco and Kanye West for a show in Korea on August 9th!!!!!! I’m very seriously considering draining my funds and buying a plane ticket to Korea, cause where else can you see that line up?

This track is a MUST-LISTEN. Definitely one of the nicest hip-hop tracks I’ve heard this year and it features a TON of artists that we regularly feature on a-Tunes. Rakaa Iriscience has put together this mega track for his upcoming album Crown of Thorns set to drop July 20th. Check out this line up!

Tasha, Tiger JK, Roscoe Umali, Chiefsons, Dumbfoundead, Tassho Pearce, Epik High, Jay Jaballas and King Kapisi all jumped on this beat produced by the one and only DJ Honda.

If you can’t wait to hear the track you’re in luck because it’s now available for streaming on Rakaa’s Myspace; just click on “Ambassador Slang” in the music player.

For an indepth review of the track, check out HalfKorean’s thoughts as they were lucky enough to preview the song in full a while back.

For a long time now there has been a website for Drunken Tiger fans called drunkencamp.com. Updated started to get sporadic as time went on so I started checking on it less and less but I discovered today that they have relaunched as a blog!

The owner of the site has been able to follow DT & the Movement camp’s activities in Korea and has captured a video messages of Tiger JK, Tasha, Roscoe Umali, Rakaa, and producer TechBeatz while they were all in Korea recently.

 

The videos are admittedly a couple months old but I doubt many of you have seen this. It’s good to hear them showing love to their fans all around the world.
