Beautiful Target – B1A4

October 6, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged B1A4Leave a comment

Okay, i have to say. I am very scared of this Music Video. They kept their image from their first music video however they added a very distinctive plot (?). Its is a really abnormal style of a music video. I think directed to fans only. Correct me if I am wrong. I have to say though, their debut was very big.

Now the plot here is okay, but also a bit confusing. So a scientist makes a girl out of chemicals. I have only 3 words to say: TEST TUBE BABY. And then he and his friends start hitting on the girl playing various roles like firefighter, ambulance, judge, dentist, janitor? Now I know they are trying to be cute here. Yes, that is right. TRYING TO BE CUTE. Now the scene shifts to the girl and the scientist again. However when the scientist touches the girl, the hotel behind them catches on fire. WTF? Is she some kind of button to blow up a building???? And then you see the most craziest and weirdest camera on EARTH. To me ruined “Beautiful” & “I Like You The Best” (both my B2ST). Then the scene shifts to the court room with, yes the camera man. One question! Why is he in the witness stand? What does he have to do with B1A4? Who is he?

Anyway the plot can go on but I ceebs writing cause it just fades off from there. Now the whole music video looks really under budget. Now there is only one way a music video and a low budget theory can go together. A Dress Up Party. That is right. A DRESS UP PARTY. A firefighter, ambulance, Tiger can go to the party. How about the Judge???? How does he fit in? EPIC FAIL (Have been waiting to do that for ages).

The song is very catchy however plot wise and the rest ruined it. So I am going to give it a 6/10.

In Heaven – JYJ

October 5, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged JYJ1 Comment

Oh boy, I absolutely adore this song. It is one of the best songs of the year I have to say. Quite sad that they can not perform it live. I want to see it LIVE. Now this song is very unique and adds a different feel to the kpop genre.

Now in the music video, there is a definitely a plot. It isn’t complex, however my explanation may be. Okay, so there is this guy who feels his girlfriend’s death. He goes backs in time (or does he? It could be all a dream). He then sets out by correcting everything he does wrong and makes her happy, not like the start when she actually suicides. In the end both the boyfriend and the girlfriend die (the girlfriend didn’t suicide however a car was going to crash into her without her realizing when she stepped onto the road. Her boyfriend tries to save her, but does not). In the end they are both shown in Heaven.

Now the song is creative. The music video itself links back to the title of the song at the end. Now its me or the song has a mysterious feel to it. The melody has it. I am telling you. The voices are really dominating even though its a ballad.

I also have to say that Song Ji Hyo and Xiah Junsu actually makes a really good couple. HaHaHa, sorry Monday Couple.

It is a really good ballad not like the first song on their album. To rate, I would give it 10/10. 😀

Love Song – Big Bang

October 5, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged BIGBANG3 Comments

Okay, Big Bang. Is there something you can not do? This song is the best song, in my point of view, you have done since your debut. I absolutely love this song. Finally a song that is just perfect. Not to busy, not too empty, loud, slow, angry.

This music video a different feel to it than other videos. The scenery is different. All the others need colour. Well, Welcome to Big Bang. They do everything old school. Well nearly everything. They film in Black and White. Time to go old school. Their simple clothing is actually simple. No crazy hair dos just a normal suits with a scarf flying at the back. Yeah Scarfs. . . .

I have to say. This music video is daebak (awesome), the smoke gives it the extra amounts of professionalism in the video. The speed of the music video also reflects the speed of the music and the events.

Song itself matches the type of video they have. However I don’t think this is the perfect vdieo to show people who want to catch onto the Hallyu wave. People might think Kpop is tragic after seeing a group of guys walk through a place that has been bombed. hmm… Also I have noticed that Daesung and T.O.P and Seungri only got 2 parts in the whole song. Taeyang got 4 and GD got 5. I don’t think this is fair. As Daesung’s voice goes very well with the song. T.O.P’s rap for this song is much more manly and cmpatible with this music video.

Now this video is nice, however the parts could’ve been shared out fairly. MORE DAESUNG AND TOP PLZ. Anyway rating of this song is 9/10. 😀

Mr. Simple – Super Junior

October 4, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged Super JuniorLeave a comment

Song

The song was a letdown to me. At first I was very excited as Super Junior made great songs and since they had some time off, I thought they had improved their skills. However, I found that the song did nothing and I was very disappointed. The song is kind of an electro pop. Yes, I said kind of. You can that or argue with me but there were times which transformed into a dance track and into an original pop song. There was too much change which kind of put me off.

English

Don’t know what to say. “Because your naughty naughty. “ Come on!!!

Their fashion was alright. Normal clothing with nice shoes. It could be considered as casual clothing. However when it came to the individual shots, why are ropes around the singers neck? That doesn’t really sound “normal” to me. Come on, as if you are going to on the streets with rope hanging around your neck. It isn’t right. I was expecting something more like from the teaser. Something out there and different from what they done and the others have done. Also the setting could have been improved on. LOSE THE BOX CONCEPT!!!

Live Performance

The dance for this song is very very very hard. Now , I am not saying this because I tried it (I did not) but the fact they have 12 people on stage at once dancing. It can be confusing when you are focusing on 1 person. They’re walking to the other side of the stage and going back. LOL.

And Rating?

Again I am disappointed in this music video. It doesn’t work out for me. Even those hardcore fans were disappointed themselves. To rate I would give a 5/10. I am sure Super Junior can do better then this.

Have Fun Watching. Troy 🙂

Run Devil Run- SNSD

October 4, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged SNSD2 Comments

I basically love SNSD. One of the sexiest girl band groups on Earth. I have to say look absolutely beautiful in what they wear. Ha Ha Ha, Let’s keep goign before anything else you don’t want to know slips out. 😉

Now there is no plot in this music video. However just looking at the tilte of the song, you can draw out what the song is about. A devil (evil cheating guy) cheats with 9 girls (aka. SNSD). They all find out and chases him away by yelling at him “You better run, run, run.”

I am only joking. That is what I had in mind when it came out in Korean. Bahahahahahahah. No but seriously that does make sense with the title. The English in this song is really good. Good Pronunciation and grammar too.

Again they look good in anything. To rate this song, I would give them 9.5/10. I can’t wait for “The Boys”. Its so cool from the looks of the teaser. I can’t wait. 😛

Hello Hello – FT Island

October 4, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged FT IslandLeave a comment

I find this music video very amusing for a number of reasons. Why? Read on! Now this is a band like CN Blue, very creative and all their music videos can be interpreted in many ways. You get what I am talking about?

Now the plot in this song is pretty weird and muddled. I have to say the police and firefighters are a bit useless. Aren’t they meant to be saving lives not standing there doing nothing? They just let a guy into a burning building. Shouldn’t they be running in there to save him? *Shakes head* I am also thinking he is physic. He did have an image of the building burning before when he walked past it. The whole MV is really amusing. Useless police/firefighters, guy risking his own life to sing with a band in a burning building. I think it is trying to be an unpopular Korean drama set in New York or a tragic and non-funny skit.

The music is very good. I especially like the start when there was only a guitar playing. Nice. the hand movement is very addictive to just point out. I kept doing it when I say hello to people. LOL. The bridge of the song is also addictive. “Everybody say La, La, La. Everybody say Ha, Ha, Ha. . .”

Apart from the plot of the music video, I loved the song. To rate I would give a 7/10. 😀

Step – Kara

October 3, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged Kara1 Comment

This song is a wonderful song. I was never fond of Kara except for Mister, Lupin and now Step. The rest were basically dull. Step stands our because its a colourful Music Video and the song is very catchy. Who says songs must have a romantic twist in it? Kara has proven so.

The music video had no plot what-so ever. I am happy about this as many songs have misleading plots in their videos which causes them to be less appealing to the viewer and make them lose interest in the song. This is a nice change to the K-pop industry in my point of view. I love the set. it is very flashy and colourful which is another change to the industry. If you look closely on the walls of theeir set, you can see their biggest hit’s name on the wall and the actually music video for the hits. This is really so cool giving us a feeling that they are celebrating their past.

Now, I wonder how I am going yo say this. The clothing they wore were pretty tight. LOL. I have to say they stand out and were very, very, very, very colourful. Their dresses were very beautiful and nice and it reflected the colour of the background.

To rate this song, I would give it 9.5/10. The video and song was great however the video was a bit too colourful.

Bad Guy – Joo

October 3, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged JooLeave a comment

I really love this ballad. And for some unknown reason I feel a bit of RnB in this beautiful ballad. Joo is a very talented person. She is good at acting and singing. The music video does a great deal of work that represents the sad side of the song. I would also like the bubble gun. Ha. Chansung’s gun is not cool as Joo’s. Even though bubbles come out of both guns, Joo’s bubbles can break things. MUAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA… A new weapon of destruction. Even her evil laughter which you can not hear at the end of the video looks like she is laughing aloud so real.

The song I truly adore. Its beautiful, calm and very very smooth. It is a slow song which from time to time I actually like to hear. To me, when I get bored of songs, I just don’t want to listen to them again. However Joo’s song does want to make listen to it any day of the week no matter what I am feeling.

Without nothing else to say but that, I give this song a 10/10. Nothing is wrong about this music video and the song is just extraordinary. I would love to see these types of songs again in the future with a music video that tells us the song in pictures. Joo’s voice is really awesome for these songs.

Lonely – 2NE1

October 3, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged 2NE11 Comment

Awkward picture hey? Where is she staring at?

That’s right. 2NE1 is the first girl group to be reviewed. Now this is going to be different to the boy groups because, you see I am a boy, and I don’t care much about girl’s fashion. So I won’t be criticizing their fashion, unless its wacky. I will be pointing out features however I won’t go into detail about how awful it is.

Anyway, this is a great video. But also I really don’t get this video. They are portrayed in a sense that they (Bom, Dara, CL & Minzy) as if they were the same person. Walking in the same party, street. Okay maybe that is not weird. What is weird is that they are at a party that has many people. Why can’t someone be civilized to allow them to join in their conversation. I mean they are celebrities and would be great fun to talk to. And also everywhere they go there is wind. Nice effect but they overused it a bit too much. Especially if it was inside. the place looks cold and pretty damp. Add a fan to make it better. More like make the MV more LONELY. About the word lonely –> I would be very lonely if my apartment was near that gigantic billboard. Isn’t that a bit creepy? Hmmm.. But they again, I’m lonely and to describe in in a picture would be this sexy beast:

Anyway, There is no need to criticize the English because it YG, they have perfect English. And also an American producer. Oh, about the fashion, it looks stunning. Personally Bom’s hair here is a bit wild and Dara’s looks plain. My mum has a style nearly like that and I have to see it everyday. (My Experiences)

To be honest, nothing really bothered me about this music video, so I guess I would be wrapping up my review right here. Its a great music video So I have no choice what-so ever but to give them 10/10. 2NE1 is always good whatever they do, even if their songs are in gibberish.

Neverland – U-Kiss

October 3, 2011September 20, 2012Posted in KPOPTagged U-KISS3 Comments

Now this video was very, very, very, very good. The location is kinda dull but overall it is very good. “Neverland” to me sounds like a theme park, not some gray mountain and some old abandon factory. FAIL theme park. But neat way to attract young kids 😉 Only joking there.

The English lyrics are really good. However its about a guy trying “attract” a girl to their “heart” (does not sound right) and to me, i will be surprised if it did attract anyone: guy or girl. Its also a bit random since they just randomly added a few extra lines for no reason like “Tell the DJ turn it up up up and da-da-dance a little more”. What does this have to do with love? An affair with the DJ? Scared!!!

The dance for this song is very complex. And when I say complex, I mean complex. They were throwing their hands everywhere, doing some kinda of zombie dance. I would also like to point out –> they touch themselves a lot. I know that sounds really my gay but look back at the video and see they touch their hair, feet, knees & chest. Really, they can’t keep their hands off themselves. Beside that and the lyrics, the song is very catchy, i had the bridge of the song stuck in my mind. Even though I don’t know the lyrics, the tune can be memorized easily.

However a major letdown of the video beside the location is the fashion. Yes they look very cool in the black clothing however the silver is ummm… really odd. It looks like a fishing net. I don’t wish to harsh, however when i first saw the video, I was like “Are they catching fishes?”. Not so cool, in my point of view. I prefer the black shirt and pants, cause for some reason I think Asian guys look better in black. Look at me, I am Asian, I i look way better in black then bright-fluorescent colours.

To me the video and song was very catchy. It was very enjoyable to watch. 2 letdowns, however the rest of the video did a lot to fix those up. The dance was in sync not like many other videos. If I were to rate this video out of ten, I would rate it 8.5/10. 😀
