The look is ballader, hope they'll do well!

[safety_bread]

I listened to few of their songs & they are pretty good. I feel so old now. XD They have potential to become stronger & better singers (in my point of view). I wouldn't say that they are R&B focused. More like ballad Pop. If you get what I mean--.

[tokio]

they look like lil children hehe. they got the ballader look, i agree. Hope to see if they make.

[~neh~long~]

XING ENT.? so they're called XING. they look alright, but i want to hear them ^0^ yep, maybe acapella? i'm looking forward to them~
