Wonder Girls Perform In Front of the Obama Family

Some how I don’t think this news is going to make much of a difference on whether or not the Wonder Girls make it in America, but it can’t hurt:

U.S. first lady Michelle Obama watched a U.S. debut performance by Korean female pop group the Wonder Girls with her two daughters, the group’s Korean agent said Tuesday, according to Yonhap News.

The band gave their first official performance in the United States as the opening act for American Idol group the Jonas Brothers in Washington D.C. Monday night. The Wonder Girls sang English versions of “Nobody” and “Tell me,” their two big hits here, during the concert.

“Wow, just found out Michelle Obama and their two daughters watched Wonder Girls perform tonight! The girls put on their best show,” Park Jin-young, head of Korea’s JYP Entertainment, wrote on Twitter, the micro-blogging site.

U.S. President Barack Obama’s two daughters, Malia and Sasha, are both known fans of the Jonas Brothers.  [Korea Herald]

Here is the music video of the Wonder Girls first US single Nobody, it is actually a catchy song and I could see how young kids would like it:

    Yeah.. they didn't come to see the Wonder Girls, but if everybody's acting like they came to see the Wonder Girls it means they upstaged whoever it was they DID come to see. Let me check on that and find out who they DID come to see…..

    :smile: The first time I saw "wonder girls" with their song "NOBODY" in TV I was really amazed. They are all gorgeous. And the best thing I like them is thier fantastic dance which made me to dance as well. I really like the steps and the way how they project and get along with the rythym of the music.

    Its Neat that JYP twittered that he just found out they did a show for Mrs. Prez and the kids. You would think if they are at the top, a Korean ace manager and producer might have had a heads up.

    They are good, but the "fighting!! Korea is #1" at everything is worn out. I havent seen the obligatory "They are Korea's all female Partridge Family" of some other comparision.

    They are good, we like them. But thats about it.

    Why the hell is every one making a big deal about the wonder girls?!?! And what knd of a name is Wonder girls? That's so cheesy! I'm American and the only time I ever saw the wonder girls was when I was in the mall walking by a little girl store and they were promoting w.g. Needless to say, they werent promoting them for very long.

    #42, why are you bothered so much about them if you don't care about them? Just don't care and move on, but don't get angry, and don't bad mouth them. They just want to earn a living entertaining people – is that so bad, Americans? Oh that's right, only Americans with white faces are allowed to be stars and entertainers. The ones with Oriental faces are treated like monkies in a zoo. And if the Orientals don't play that stereotyped part, you guys get angry. You guys are really stuck up white people, that's for sure.

    Eric Clapton, The Who, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles, Jimmy Hendrix, Carlos Santana, Jefferson Airplane/Starship, Cream, Mountain, Triumph, Pink Floyd, Metallica, Steve Miller Band, April Wine, Eagles, The Kinks, Yes, Aerosmith, Deep Purple, Rainbow, Ozzy Osbourne etc etc; now THAT was MUSIC. It was creative, complex, AND WELL WRITTEN. I'm sure these girls enjoy what they are doing but if this is what passes for music it's like saying that a diamond & a piece of gravel are the same thing because they are both rocks. I wouldn't mind getting in a romp with these girls (they're all 18 or older) although I know that I would have the chance of a snowball in hades. For those who don't like Rock & Roll there is of course great classical music, & jazz. For all the people who wrote here how "great" these girls are, do yourself a favor & expand your musical horizons a bit.
