Wow news covered by “Time, CNN, The Guardian, and The Wall Street Journal”, that’s amazing. This was a great publicity internationally for this the girls. Even if it was just a silly YouTube internet award, it was great to get their name out there. Have the girls really celebrated wins like this in a long time? I think it means more to them bcuz it is international. So proud of them and Sones! (American artists fans got nothing on us!) :D
Yeah, its sometimes not the actual awards itself.. (BTW the award trophy is like a RED square with a “play” symbol on it.. i know its icon for youtube but god the trophy looks poorly done)..
Its the tsunami effect After the award itself.. if it had been Lady Gaga or Justin Bieber who won.. the major News network around the globe will simply state “Justin Bieber takes home Video of the Year”.. as expected as no BIG Deal out of the news..
But Since its GG, its will generate so much commotion.. like who’s GG? what? who won??.. and I wont be surprise if Google’s statistic show the number of Google search for “Girls Generation” or “SNSD” rose up by a lot after the news broke out..
For good or for bad, it surely generated a lot of attention, just as how the world was puzzled with the Horse-riding craze of last year by an “unknown” Korean’s MV called Gangnam Style..
Congratulations SNSD! :D
YES THE GIRLS DID IT thanks to all the SONEs that vote, we should feel good….. CONGRATS SNSD
Congratulations!! You guys are really great..
