In the picture, Daniel Radcliffe is seen holding a “Mr. Taxi” album, which was given to him as a gift. He chose Tiffany as the prettiest Girls’ Generation member; however, upon closer inspection, Radcliffe pointed out that Taeyeon is just as pretty.

wow so much good news for the girls…..they seem so busy now-a-days
I just hope they can keep their skills sharp though cuze these new girls groups are really stepping it up
really love this weekly news wrap!
people all over the world are beginning to take notice of SNSD!
thanks
woooo
this week of soshi news was unlike any other.
but i am grateful to you all for not letting the
historical events of this past week keep you
from continuing to focus on even the minutous
of details when it comes to our girls. those tend
to be the ones I am mst fond of. here it is…fany
getting poked during their group picture for
associated press. the girls are so cute, and fany
is beyond adorable when she’s trying to get them
to stop…yuri is breath-taking, and builds up the
anticipation to her new drama even more…and
daniel radcliffe. i think all of sone has made that
face many times. welcome to the club!!! :-)
haha..as the two worlds collide? they really are making news everywhere!! awesome stuff girls^^ so happy for them…they seem to be so busy, being featured in the magazines too…and sica is at filming rite? her selca is soooooooooooooooo cute! hope theyre all keeping well :) stay well and keep strong girls, SNSD fighting!
yay im am so darn happy for them! global generation fighting!
this week is GG win!
epic debut in US,turned other celebrity into SONE..
hope this year they can dominate the world LOL
What an incredibly exciting week for Shoshi and American Sones. I can not begin to describe how awesom it was to see the girls on American TV. When David Letterman began the introduction for the girls, you could see Sunny behind him in the background. I was so excited, I did not know wether to cry or pee my pants!! I think I did a little of both by the end of their performance.
America truely has never seen anything like Girls Generation. Very few girl groups have made it big in America. The Spice Girls from England, the Pussycat Dolls and maybe Destiny’s Child are really the only ones I can think of in recent memory. Those girl groups usually had one or two talented people in them at best. America will not know what to do with nine talented angels….
There is one thing about America that is very unique that those outside of the country sometimes don’t realize. America is a melting pot of cultures and peoples. What is foreign one day often becomes the familiar the next day. At one time, hardly anyone in America ate sushi. Now there is a sushi bar on every corner. All America needs is a chance to get to know the girls, and they too will be head over heals in love with them. From an American perspective, their story, both as a group, and their individual stories are worth telling. And since both Tiffany and Jessica were born in the U.S., there is a built in relationship that the American fans would have with them. I look forward to the day when I am not the only Sone where I live.
Well said…
Wow.. that was a lot of SNSD O . O LOL gotta love them though♥
U guys forgot to mention Taylor swift likes hyoyeon and is new some
So is Katty perry, Ryan seacrest, Marie Digby are new sones and Avril lavIgne blogged about them

Thank you SSF for another wrap, good job. I love the BTS MTV Iggy video, it’s cute. Congrats ladies on getting your song mix for ABDC one of America’s popular show. I can’t wait to see which dance crew get to use it and also what kind of moves they’re gonna add to it. Making history!! Seobaby is beautiful. Yul is beautiful. Sica is beautiful in one pic and cute in the other :). Daniel Radcliffe welcome to SNSD & S♥NEs world. Gobne Chicken calender is so adorable. Perez Hilton thanks for Recommending the ladies song to peeps. Glad everyone likes the Letterman performance, it was fierce. Simon Curtis you stay away from our Shikshin, you’ll have to go through 999,999,999 S♥NEs after you go through Soshi & families 1st. I hope this small exposure from NY promotions will continue to lead Soshi to higher status in America. I’m proud of SNSD. I’m proud to be a S♥NE. GLOBAL GENERATION DOMINATION!!! :)

The Girls have got much attention only after their first debut in US. Hope this week and following week will be a better week Girls’ Generation ^__^
Thanks again for this weekly news compilation. Yay, SNSD is really on the road to global domination. So, did Jessica leave NY early? Because in the vid where SNSD was in a bar, she wasn’t there.
