What do you mean WHY? 'Cause she's 'down to earth, relaxed, acts like everybody else and not as some unreachable uptight star. But mostly because she is simply herself and is not afraid to show the real AJOL.
Anybody still here? Still listening to this underappreciated gem! More than 5 years later and suddenly it's such a nostalgic song for me God bless you Amber!
well, doesn't seem like they had to spend a dime on this , and f(x) isn't too popular these days so they really dont lose anything whether ppl like her stuffs or not
+Coldby This isn't SM, this is all Amber. As the original commenter said, SM is letting her do whatever the fuck she wants; that includes her videos. Amber has chosen who she wants to work with on everything she's done for this album, she's made the videos how she wanted them to be made, included who she's wanted to include, and sung what she's wanted to sing. This literally has nothing to do with SM except maybe promotions/marketing and stuff. This is why I'm proud of Amber, because she's really doing this solo thing right by being so independent and inclined in her own music.
SM is finally starting to cater to its artists instead of the other way around. They supported Amber in her own music, let Jonghyun write his entire album, gave SuJu their own label under the company, helped Lay set up his China activities, and idols are finally getting a chance at solo music.
+Mint Sama SM trying so hard to make other artist get a spotlight, actually back in the day SM had tried almost everything to make Dana (The Grace) the next BoA but the public just didn't respond well 😔
They even let the rappers of NCT write their own lyrics. Don't know if they contributed to the entire song though. Are they putting something in the water there? B/c it seems so strange to hear that about SM.
damani page " She is not the AMBER the world deserves, but she is the AMBER the world really needs... She is our song, our light, our need to be needed with no borders..... She is OUR Happy Llama." (cue music)
Can we just appreciate how much fun this videoclip is? Lol like seriously, it’s just a bunch of awesome people having fun, no naked women, no drugs or clubs, no dramatic love stories. It’s just a fun videoclip where you can see Amber really being her awesome self and that’s why I love her so much.
+LollieLBolliePoepKittenDeBomB raaijmakers yes i was, but I felt too dizzy so I had to go out after BTS, I couldn't see my precious Key closely TwT I was the pink haired girl If You saw me ^^
I honestly feel that she would be so down for that. Like, one of her first music videos was basically just a party with her and her friends; why not her dog?
Amber is literally one of my fav persons on the world haha, following on her snapchat is sooo funny, she's so dorky and funny and cute and just everything haha. I really wish we were friends, she seems so much fun.
+acamarstar I feel like this is how amber wanted to do it. Maybe not being promoted is what's allowing her the freedom to write and produce how and what she wants.
+acamarstar They do if you follow f(x) on Kakao (probs other social media as well). They give us like 24 hours heads up that a new song is gonna drop :) Thank god, because otherwise I'd choke everytime I saw a song uploaded out of nowhere.
I feel like am has given her this channel and more creative freedom at the cost of it not being promoted. They probably don't want to spend money on it and plus, these songs have been in English which wouldn't be promoted in Korea anyways. I feel like they did this just to appease her so they wouldn't have to deal with her nagging to make her own music...kind of stinks but at least we get to enjoy ambers talent and true artistic self.
lol it prob helps she has her own team & does lyrics,composing etc herself or with her team. If it was all left to SM i doubt shed b able to do this much :P nice of them to help her promote & everything though :) love ambers works!
It's because sm allowed her to have her own team. She and her team makes the stuff then SM is there to promote all the things she creates. I love SM for letting her be free and for letting her be herself.
Amber is so precious she deserves the world I am so upset that SM Entertainment is giving her a hard time because i absolute love her and she's an amazing person and just thinking about that makes me cry, i'm crying right now writing this because amber doesn't deserve the shit the SM is making her go through and i just want her to be happy. I honestly look up to Amber in so many ways and it hurts my heart to know that she is going through a tough time, i wish i could do more to help her. stay strong Amber i love you.
Same here! First followed her in F/X first Tour to U.S. in Texas concert! She really owns her Blessed Spirit through her music and Magnetism!! You Go Girl!!!!!
we really don't deserve Amber , she is everything that is right with the world , such positive vibes , such relatable deep music and her voice is amazing . She sets such a great example for all of us , to stand up for what we believe in, to be okay with who we are , to be okay with being sad sometimes to just be our dorky selves no matter what ... Amber is just amazing , I wish someone would tell her this , I hope she knows this
Amber, someone once said (I think Ailee or Min) that your music can either make us smile or cry and I want to thank you for making this song as it makes me smile and happy inside every time I listen to it. It makes me sing along with your voice easily snapping me out of a sad crappy mood or a emotionless mood. I just want to thank you for being Amber and being artist Amber who wants to share a message through your music.
How can SM not support your solo work? This is such a beautiful song, if it hadn't have been for RU-vid's suggested videos I'd never have known what a beautiful voice you have.
I'm back again! every day I come back to her. she's my ultimate female bias. AND WE NEED ANOTHER AMBER COMEBACK PLEASE. ANOTHER AMBER SOLO ALBUM. PLEASE. she's only just recently started to portray her full talent and vocals, and she's amazing.
my (ex) boyfriend was so amazed that she'd sing something so girly. i told him just because she's boyish doesn't mean she should be limited with what songs she wants to make. but we both love this song and love Amber very much!
Look into Jung Joonyoung hes in a band called Drug Restaurant previously called Jung Joonyoung band, and CNBLUE, FTisland and LedApple and if you look into other groups try to avoid the drama because fans are crazy
I'm a punk and metal fan; so, I feel ya, lol. Just let it happen; you won't regret it. There's so much talent in Kpop, you wouldn't believe it. There's some good K-Rock bands out there too.
This is a perfect direction for you, Amber. These videos have a 1980s feel to them meaning they are AUTHENTIC from the artist's true vision, not manfactured by a bunch of suits who have no feel for the music or your audience. Van Halen's Jump video was done with a couple cameras and cost $600, it changed everything. Early rap videos way back didn't cost money and they had simple locations but they were REAL, like this. Just you and your friends - it's brilliant.
Will her music be here from now on? Not on SM channel? and I love that she's doing what she wants. She seem to be one of very few artists in SM able to do stuff like this
if you mean that she is one of the few "allowed" i think it's more likely that her production skills are enough for sm to approve of the quality of her material.
+iRockYouRock67 I think her international fans also factor into why she has so much freedom now. She's so authentic that people relate to her, and I think SM realizes now that she's their best chance at becoming an international success where other artists couldn't make it.
What I love about this mv is that it's no professional dancing, the people involved just seems to enjoy the moment and it works absolutely fine without some hard-core dancemoves. It makes the song better 'cause it fits the theme :)
I love her extraness and how she's not like every other kpop idol and is unique and different. And how she is just fun and herself even in her music videos
ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh ooh Stop don’t turn that lock Hold that key don’t drop It won’t take too long it won’t take too long Stop with all the games This ain’t no charade You know what I’m talking about So slowly you and me You can give me what I need In this fantasy we gon ride we gon ride up in ecstasy Baby tell me do you believe yeah As a matter of fact let’s take it all the way to the back ‘Cause baby I I’m drowning I’m drowning in the thought of you in the thought of you Don’t have to go oh oh Here we know now till the break of dawn we go go ‘Cause all night It’s ooh ooh ooh like ooh ooh ooh Yeah I’m a give you to three Better see you back here with me We’ll be going down Rolling round not a sound Every moment counts yeah every moment counts Yeah every moment counts yeah every moment counts We’re doing hard like them animals do It’s my instinct to get through to you We can make it through and your pays are due Ready at the race to your heart So slowly you and me You can give me what I need In this fantasy we gon ride we gon ride up in ecstasy Baby tell me do you believe yeah As a matter of fact let’s take it all the way to the back ‘Cause baby I I’m drowning I’m drowning in the thought of you in the thought of you Don’t have to go oh oh Here we know now till the break of dawn we go go ‘Cause all night It’s ooh ooh ooh like ooh ooh ooh I need to feel needed yeah ‘Cause baby I I’m drowning I’m drowning in the thought of you in the thought of you Don’t have to go oh oh Here we know now till the break of dawn we go go ‘Cause all night It’s ooh ooh ooh like ooh ooh ooh ooh woah I need you baby I need to feel needed
we shouldnt let our guards down that easily tho, sm is going to continue to make stupid mistakes. but at least theyre finally loosening up a bit and letting their artists be a bit more independent.
***** well (this is just what i heard idk for sure ok?) snsd made a song and a goodbye stage for jessica and sm then asked her if she wanted to come back, but snsd was like "oh we already made a song and got prepared for the goodbye stage we don't want you back now, we did that all for nothing then" and so she left. dont quote me on anything, this is only from what i heard so idk
could you not misgender Amber unnie like this? she doesn't even identify as a man! just because she prefers a more gender neutral style doesn't mean that u have to misgender her.
These is why I love her and look up to her. She doesn't use a 500.000 set to make her music video, just calls up her friends and records them having fun. 'Cause she's down to earth, relaxed, acts like everybody else and not as some unreachable uptight star. But mostly because she is simply herself and is not afraid to show the real AJOL, her true colors
So from what I'm seeing, Crossing is somewhat like BigBang's MADE series. Amber's releasing a series of singles that's going to make up something of an album called Crossing. So far, there was Borders, which was also released for SM Station, and then there was On My Own and now Need to be Needed. Since each track's title is being crossed out at the end every time, I think we're going down a list of songs and we're going to be getting even more music videos. WHAT'S NEXT???
everytime i listen to this music i come watch the MV and i always try to notice something someone is doing i haven't before lol and everytime im surprised xD
SincewheendoesAmberhaveherownchannel???!!! Why didn't I know that before TwT I feel like a bad fan -3- That song is amazing, so relaxing and meaningful. Thank you Amber for producing such beautiful music
I wonder too, but then I'm glad she is so good at keeping her relationships secret because of what has happened to some stars when their relationship goes public. Most people are fine with whoever their favorite star dates, they just want to see them happy. But there's a rabid group of fans that hate anyone ruining their fantasy of being with the star, & another group that just hate because of jealousy & try to use anything as an excuse to harass the star. When these groups get going, they can harrass the star, the star's romantic interest, label, and even group members. Some stars have quit completly.
if I was amber I wouldn't like seeing comments saying I wonder who is her girlfriend and discussing about is she straight or gay, if she looks through comments she'll want to see people's opinions on the song, it shouldn't matter if she is gay or straight or has a lover or not, we love her because she is amber, not because she is something, I loved this song so much ❤ if amber ever sees my comment I'd like to say that I love you and I really admire you, you are My role model, without even knowing, you've helped me go through a lot, thank you for being you❤
I never understood why people surprised when she sang like this, her voice is beautiful and she is so talented that she can sing different styles, she is amazing!!!
Amberrrr when are you gonna have a comeback???? English or korean or Chinese I dont careeeee, I just love you and your voiceeee😭😭😭❤❤❤❤❤ You are amazing!!!!!
Lisa J.andersen She is now had comeback !!!! XD Go find channel Amber Liu. There are bunch songs she make it in this month and next month. Also you can heard its on SoundCloud. She make it free for us :D
