this was a great achivment for SNSD im sure there were many others songs to consider but Gee really is unique.congrats to the girls and to the song writers.
Awesome!! Congrats to SNSD, the producers and choreographers who helped them make the song and video. I truly hope they musically conquer the world as they’ve done in Korea and now it seems, Japan. I hope their next US release has more songs in English. IMO, one of the reasons they’re so big in Japan is because they sing the songs in Japanese. If JeTi need any help teaching English to the other ladies, I’ll gladly volunteer ;)
