SNSD "How Great Is Your Love"

I liked SNSD's wonderful ballad "How Great Is Your Love" from the very first moment I heard it listening to their album "The Boys", and as I got to know the album better and better, I began liking it more and more. By the time I first stated working out a sort of "Top Ten" SNSD list of sorts, "How Great Is Your Love was already firmly entrenched in the Top Five, making its way to a decent number three on the list of my beloved SNSD songs.

Then a funny thing happened- I met up with a friend of mine who was a huge SNSD fan like me, and he gave me some DVDs with a bunch of Live Performances and Clips of the girls, and among them was a  live performance of How Great Is Your Love the girls did on M COUNTDOWN, and to say I liked it would be an understatement- this was one of the best live performances I'd EVER seen from them! This performance was so awesome that I found myself watching it over and OVER again, night after NIGHT, and after weeks of repeated viewings, I was suddenly hit with the realization: 'Holy Cow, This is my favorite SNSD song of all time !" 

Really, the girls singing was sooooo good, and sung with so much passion, I was simply transfixed from the moment the song started! I always knew that  Taeyeon, Tiffany, Seohyun and Jessica were the "hard hitters" of the group vocal wise, but I still wasn't prepared for how uplifting their voices would be- each soaring line blew me away and made me break out in gossebumps!

If the amazing vocals of the girls wasn't enough, they even had the girls dressed up in these wonderfully pretty and feminine pastel colored dresses, complete with ribbons and hairbands in their hair to showcase the girls' perfect girlishness, immediately becoming one of my favorite outfits ever!!!

Just about the only drawback to this fine, fine performance was the fact that (as usual) Yoona couldn't make the show, fortunately her two lines were divided and ably sung by Tiffany and SooYoung, so the song swept along without interruption! (I was to later find a peformance of How Great Is Your Love WITH Yoona in it, sadly THAT version was a truncated, shortened version! No, for the full, incredible performance, this M-COUNTDOWN performance was the ONE!)

BTW: Though my SNSD bias since the beginning has been for Jessica, in recent months I've been wavering and have been dividing my love between Jessica and Yuri...MAN, seeing my beloved Sica sing her lines out with such sweet emotion, I fully realize how much I love her and have ALWAYS loved her...she's freakin' AWESOME!!!
