Finally, some info on Top Combine. I was reading about them in cfensi.wordpress.com a couple of weeks ago. Thanks for starting the thread. The interesting thing is they are apart of a new wave of music Chinese is finally starting to explore. Boybands. Alright, I don't like to use that term for any group.

since im in america lol im watching Happy Base Camp right now and they are on it!!lol from what i heard on happy base camp, the person who did the dance moves for them was DBSK lol and the one who produced their song is Shinhwa..im actually not sure if its produced by them. but the hairstylist was the same one who did H.O.T hairs. i think it might be wrong but lol thats what they said on the show. lol they arent that bad..they are actually pretty good!

dayum they look hot lol
one of them's abit too girly, but anyway
how's the singing?? Prob pretty average I expect.
anyway will check em out, they prob sing better than hi5 or whatever they're called lol.
to be completely objective, I think hi5 and this grp are better looking than dbsg for sure, but dbsg have alot more talent.

Saw them on Happy base camp last saturday night, they're all tall and pretty cute!
I like Ma Xueyang (马雪阳). He's talented, can play violin.. hohoho..
Their MV reminds me of DBSG purple line.. haha.. everything's the same.
That's why I thought they're from SM again... but i guess not.
The super boys improved alot since the competition! I like Zhang Yuan, his voice is really good.
Fighting!

I agree with one of them's a bit too girly, lmao.
I think their singing is pretty good, most of them were top 10 - top 3 in different competition areas, but 张远(Zhang Yuan) was top 10 of CHINA.
So, yeah, I think their singing is pretty good.
I don't know about HIT-5 though, they've only got 1 EP out or something.
Andandand, about the talent part, I guess we'll have to wait and see ^^
But, obviously DBSK has wayy more experience.

oh god its not that liu zhou cheng guy again hes soo wierd
ugh
oh yea their coming out seem coincidental to that other band tho i would think hit5 would attract the teens in china more coz of their links with the 'net idols'

李茂:
Hey, you know, who we are
Listen this song and say my name
Scream and shout
We are the TOP COMBINE
刘洲成: 干涸的泥土 已埋藏千年不变的构图
李茂: Yeah 过滤时光 只剩 Loneliness But don't afraid
刘洲成: 迦南美地消失前 开始肆意扼杀生长的幸福
李茂: Yo 是来自异域的艺术 警示着历史麻木 New life
马雪阳:
停不住 说不出 什么程度
去努力描述 风尘已久 苍老的石板路
不在乎 有若无 什么地步
蒸发身体的温度 凝结成雕塑
合唱: 当爱重新降临在大地 吹散了悲伤的记忆
张远: 完整了光荣的定义
合唱: 站在重新收获的雨季 露出了笑容的美丽
张远: 我想应该是你
RAP:
李茂:
We are the TOP COMBINE
谁说谁很酷 Why 选择一个人孤独的追逐
心跳在加速 时间却停住
镌刻的信仰 该向谁臣服
梦 是不会背叛逃亡的俘虏
吻 是可以囚禁幻觉的信物
若即又若离 若离又若即的态度
伤口就让 时间去弥补
金恩圣
停不住 说不出 什么程度
去努力描述 风尘已久 苍老的石板路
不在乎 有若无 什么地步
蒸发身体的温度 凝结成雕塑
合唱: 当爱重新降临在大地 吹散了悲伤的记忆
张远: 完整了光荣的定义
合唱: 站在重新收获的雨季 露出了笑容的美丽

努力地去追逐 那道光芒
是理想让人 勇敢飞翔

LM:Hey, you know who we are
Listen this song and say my name
Scream and shout
We are the TOP COMBINE
LZC:Under the dry earth, a design buried for millenia
LM:Yeah, filter time, only leaves loneliness
But don't afraid
LZC:Before the Land of Canaan disappeared, the happiness of growth was wantonly killed.
LM:Yo, it's art from a foreign place, warning of historical numbness. New life.
MXY: Can't stop, can't speak, to what extent
Trying hard to describe the dusty and old stone road
Not caring about having or not having, to what degree
Evaporate the body's temperature, cool into a statue
All: When love returns to the land and blows away sad memories
ZY: Completing its honourable definition
All: Standing in the newly reaped rain season, showing the beauty of smiles
ZY: I think it should be you
RAP
LM: We are the TOP COMBINE
Who says who's cool? Why choose to chase alone
Heart rate is speeding up, but time is stopping
The engraved belief should be acknowledged to whom?
Dream is the prisoner that won't betray exile
Kiss is the token that can imprison hallucination
Here but also far, far but also near.
Let time heal the wound
KES: Can't stop, can't speak, to what extent
Trying hard to describe the dusty and old stone road
Not caring about having or not having, to what degree
Evaporate the body's temperature, cool into a statue
All: When love returns to the land and blows away sad memories
ZY: Completing its honourable definition
All: Standing in the newly reaped rain season, showing the beauty of smiles
ZY: I think it should be you
LZC: Vision becomes blurry, only pain is left
There's no time to break free from the restraint of the heart
ZY: Trying hard to chase that ray of light
It's dreams that let people fly with courage
All: When love returns to the land and blows away sad memories
ZY: Completing its honourable definition
All: Standing in the newly reaped rain season, showing the beauty of smiles
ZY: I think it should be you
All: When love returns to the land and blows away sad memories
ZY: Completing its honourable definition
All: Standing in the newly reaped rain season, showing the beauty of smiles

Too bad that they don't always stand in the same order like DBSK does.lol Picture eleven is my desktop right now. I think... Zhang is the one in the brown jacket, Li in the green hat...
Oh and I think Ma is the one with the colorful shopping bags. (Since he's been wearing the same jacket in the other photos) and the leaves poor Jin in the back. Yes? No? ^^;

I'm quite certain that whoever rooms into this forum thread should at least have a general basic understanding as to where and who TOP COMBINE are. And to those who think they suck at singing or aren't that good or whatever I just want to post this a capella from a radio show done by them. English song, this I promise you:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gEawD4fb5XEI thought it was good; there's always more room for improvement in anything one does but they do not lack in the vocals.
I just want to share the link because I like the song

I actually heard that this version's guy will be really glamorous, rich, and hot, but it's just rumors.
Geek-wise, Li Mao and Ma Xueyang, probably. I guess I've seen too many pictures of Li Mao with glasses on, and Ma Xueyang is a music geek.

TOP COMBINE SHOOTS MV, 5 TYPES OF PRETTY BOYS USE THEIR OWN WAYS TO CHASE ONE GIRL




In the past few days, mainland group Top Combine's perfect "Arrival" fills the blank of mainland idol groups. 5 angelic, perfect boys have exceptional image, singing skills, and star qualities. In their newly finished MV "Cotton Candy," these five sunny and handsome boys each used their own way to show their charms.
"Cotton Candy" is written by Ma Xueyang, the group's "Composing Prince." The plot of the MV revolves around 5 boys and 1 little girl. 5 boys different in appearances and personalities each used their own way to try to make an eight year old girl happy and win her smile. Each of the five did all they could, Zhang Yuan used food to coax the girl, while the "pretty boy" tried to use his looks to win her favour. The cute Kim Eunsung even stood on a Ferris wheel to express his "love" for the little girl. Li Mao, who can rap and sing also held his ground. But finally, Ma Xueyang, standing on the Ferris wheel and playing the violin with deep emotions, "moved" the little girl. The whole set was also full of warmth.
