hei temen-temen perasaan kita dah lama ga nge blog lgi ni!
jadi sekarang kita akan membahas tentang smash oke!

SM*SH  adalah sekelompok anak muda yang ingin berbagi kegembiraan dan perasaan lewat musik dan penampilan. Secara garis besar memang terlihat Smash Indonesia ini menduplikat keras grup Smash Korea yang terlebih dulu ada dan famous. Dari Style, dance bahkan yang terlihat sangat jelas adalah nama group mereka.

Boyband baru Indonesia ini banyak digandrungi oleh cewe-cewe remaja khususnya yang masih SMP ataupun SMA yang bisa dibilang ABG (Anak Baru Gede).

Penampilan pertama mereka di industry music Indonesia diawali dengan single “I Heart You”. Sebuah lagu sebagai bukti ungkapan rasa cinta terhadap seorang gadis remaja. Diciptakan oleh Sogi Indradhuaja, Decil Prapanca, Buni D’Looney, dan Hendi yang mengambil lirik sederhana dari kosa kata percakapan anak remaja “hari begini”. Seperti penggalan lirik berikut:

“Kenapa hatiku cenat cenut tiap ada kamu”
You know me so well
“I know you so well”
“Girl i need you, Girl i love you, Girl i heart you”

Spurs target more home misery for Mourinho

Real Madrid saw their flawless home record come to an end on the weekend and Tottenham Hotspur will hope they can become the latest side to win at the Santiago Bernabeu as they travel to Madrid on Tuesday for the first leg of their UEFA Champions League quarter final tie.

Jose Mourinho has guided Real to the last eight of the competition for the first time since 2004 but watched on as his 150 match unbeaten league home record was surprisingly ended by Gijon and Madrid, now eight points behind Barcelona in the league, must dust themselves off for the Tottenham clash. Real have the better pedigree having won the European title a record nine times, while Tottenham have only reached the semi-final stage of this competition once, way back in 1962 when they lost to eventual winners Benfica.

Tottenham manager Harry Redknapp has also never come out on top against Mourinho when the two pitted their wits against each other in the Premier League, although Mourinho was at big-spending Chelsea, while Redknapp was in charge of Portsmouth and Southampton. "He (Mourinho) has beaten me with the five teams that I have faced him, but Chelsea beat everyone and don't forget I was with Portsmouth," said Redknapp.

Tottenham start as underdogs but can take heart from their 1-0 win at AC Milan in the last round and the fact that Madrid have lost their last two Champions League knockout matches against English opposition, crashing out at the last 16 stage to Arsenal in 2006 and then Liverpool in 2009.

Real injury woesMourinho, bidding to become the first ever manager to win the Champions League with three different clubs, has injury problems for the home tie with Brazilian full-back Marcelo, French forward Karim Benzema and star man Cristiano Ronaldo all doubtful. The absence of top-scorer Ronaldo, struggling with a hamstring injury, is the biggest concern and Mourinho said the two would sit down and decide if they should gamble on his fitness against Tottenham.

"If he (Ronaldo) has a chance to play, it's because he and his coach are taking a risk," said Mourinho. "The information from the medical department is that he can't play and that he can only play in Athletic Bilbao. I will talk with the injured players and decided if we will risk them.

"Tottenham are an ambitious team with very good players and a good manager. You sense it is a happy team and happy teams are dangerous teams."

Redknapp, 64, has said he believes Ronaldo and company will play and Madrid also have Argentine striker Gonzalo Higuain back fit after he played his first game since late November as a second half substitute in the 1-0 loss against Sporting.

Redknapp has his own injury concerns with star Welsh winger Gareth Bale a doubt against a club that were strongly linked with his signature in the off-season. Bale has been sidelined with a niggling hamstring strain and missed the 0-0 draw with Wigan on Saturday as a precautionary measure.

"I am very hopeful over Gareth (Bale)," said Redknapp, "The feeling was if he had played at Wigan he might have cramped up on his hamstring. So we rested him and hopefully he will be okay for Tuesday."

Defenders Alan Hutton, Ledley King and Real old boy Jonathan Woodgate are definitely out, while centre-back William Gallas is doubtful with a knee injury.

One Tottenham player with a point to prove is Dutch midfielder Rafael van der Vaart who joined Spurs from Real Madrid in the summer after finding himself surplus to requirements at the Bernabeu. "It will be fantastic to go back as I have a lot of friends there," said Van der Vaart. "The first leg is away which is good for us. We don't have any pressure, we can play our game and we have a chance."

Madrid are targeting a fifth straight home win in this season's Champions League but have lost 1-0 at the Bernabeu to Arsenal and Liverpool in their last two Champions League knockout home matches against English opponents and Tottenham will be hoping for a similar result.

Groans, glory and goals galore

A title triumph for Porto, a goal-laden encounter in Colombia, the end of Jose Mourinho’s unbeaten home record, Wayne Rooney’s quick-fire hat-trick and some even speedier striking from Dejan Stankovic feature in FIFA.com’s latest statistical review.

150

matches over nine years, one month, ten days and four separate clubs: this was the incredible unbeaten home league record that came to an abrupt and unexpected end for Jose Mourinho on Saturday. Manolo Preciado succeeded where 107 different coaches had tried and failed, and did so with a Sporting Gijon side that had arrived at the Bernabeu with just one away win to their name all season. Given that Real had won all 22 of their previous home matches under Mourinho, racking up an aggregate score of 46-6 in La Liga business alone, it was understandable that few gave Preciado’s team a prayer. Yet despite Los Merengues raining in no fewer than 32 shots during the match – more than in any previous league match this season – a solitary goal from Miguel de las Cuevas enabled Gijon to become the first team since Beira Mar in February 2002 to claim league points on Mourinho’s patch. Fortunately for Real, they were back to their devastating best at the Bernabeu last night, with ex-Arsenal forward Emmanuel Adebayor – the scorer of eight goals in nine North London derbies – returning to haunt Tottenham Hotspur with a brace in his side’s 4-0 win.

25

seconds were on the clock at the San Siro last night when Dejan Stankovic scored the fifth-fastest goal in UEFA Champions League history. The 32-year-old took his place behind Clarence Seedorf (21 seconds, AC Milan-Schalke, 2005), Alessandro del Piero (20, Juventus-Manchester United, 1997), Gilberto Silva (20, Arsenal-PSV, 2002) and the current record-holder, Roy Makaay, who found the net after just ten seconds of Bayern Munich’s 2-1 win over Real Madrid in 2007. Yet despite Stankovic's spectacular strike providing the perfect start, and the fact that Inter had never before lost a Champions League match after opening the scoring, they ultimately slumped to one of the worst results of their European history. Opponents Schalke, in fact, racked up their highest-ever number of goals in a Champions League match, while Inter equalled their record number of goals conceded, going down to a shock 5-2 defeat. In the history of European competition, eight teams have lost the first leg 5-2 at home and, unsurprisingly, none have progressed, leaving Inter on the brink of becoming the first holders to exit in the last eight since their city rivals in 2003/04.

22

wins, two draws and no defeats is the tally that enabled Porto to become only the second team to clinch the Portuguese championship without tasting defeat. Previously, the Benfica team of 1972/73 had been the only side to manage this feat, although the Lisbon giants also survived the 1977/78 campaign without losing, yet still missed out on the title on goal difference. Porto clinched this latest championship, their fifth in the last six seasons and 25th overall, at Benfica’s Estadio da Luz – the first time they had secured the title at the home of their southern rivals since 1940. Benfica had been protecting an 11-match unbeaten run at home but met their match in aDragões team undefeated in the league since 28 February 2010, a 34-match streak that represents their longest since of a sequence of 53 between October 1994 and March 1996.

14

minutes was all that Wayne Rooney needed to turn a calamitous defeat into potentially decisive victory for Manchester United on Saturday. The 25-year-old's was the third-fasted Premier League hat-trick by a United player, falling just short of the record of ten minutes shared by Ole Gunnar Solskjaer (against Nottingham Forest in 99) and Teddy Sheringham (versus Southampton in 2000), and was also the first treble scored away from home in England’s top flight since Rooney himself at Portsmouth in November 2009. Furthermore, Rooney’s second goal at Upton Park was his 100th for United in the Premier League, making him only the third Red Devils player to reach this particular milestone after Ryan Giggs (105) and Paul Scholes (102). Javier Hernandez, meanwhile, confirmed his status as English football’s most prolific substitute, coming off the bench to score for the fifth time this season, a tally no other Premier League player can match.

11

goals, including nine in an incredible first half, were served up in Colombia on Sunday as Atletico Huila crashed to a 7-4 home defeat by Deportes Tolima. The title-chasing visitors raced into a 6-3 half-time lead, scoring six goals in the space of 29 minutes, and ended the match with six different players on the score-sheet. Yet it wasn’t all plain sailing for the Ibague outfit, who conceded three penalties over the course of an amazing game, only two of which were converted. While this incident-packed win took Tolima to second in the Colombian standings, remarkably it wasn’t the highest-scoring match of the past week. That title instead belongs to a 13-goal spectacle produced by Aruban outfits Britannia and Sporting, although the latter side are unlikely to treasure the honour, given that 12 of those goals flew into their net.
