Well, well well... My laptop's graphics card isn't good enough to watch that video smoothly
I'll watch it again later.
I'll get the music out of the way first, so that I can take my time with the girls later. The MV has made me like the song more than I did before, but I'm still unsure. I'm liking the verses and the beat accompanying them, but it's the chorus that still irks me. It's like it's trying to combine old-style kpop with new-style and I don't appreciate it. I think the two should stay separate. As soon as it gets to the chorus, the tune suddenly gets all hopeful, pretty and, dare I say it, naive. This is from my perspective - when it comes to foreign music, english subtitles or not, I don't pay attention to the lyrics and their meaning, I just want to like what I hear. Chorus aside, this song could even potentially be one of my new tops considering the verses and general beat.
Okay. Girls. Okay. Okay. I want to talk about her NOW!!! But, patience is virtue. So first off, Gyuri. She's lovely, as usual, but I was really looking forward to that short hair she had for the teaser. She worked it really well. I thought she was going to melt the pants off of f(x)'s Amber
Next time, Gyuri, for me please
Jiyoung was surprising. I'm liking the whole lack of "Hi, how's it going? I'm cute, who are you?" That heavy eyeliner suits her well, but I think I can wait till she's legal. Pretty confident in my ability. She's a great girl, but she ain't no jailbait like Krystal.
Hara - I know you all love her. I know you do. She's hot. I got that. I really didn't notice her much at all in this MV though. I saw some long hair here and there. Hara's stomach while she's in a chair or some piece of furniture. I seem to remember seeing the same move in the choreography performed by her somewhere around the chorus, I believe. I don't understand it. Why don't I see her like the rest of you do?
Seungyeong. Egad. Just - wow. I said before that I did think that the short hair suited her in those pics that Pops posted earlier. It was a nice length. But in this, oh me oh my, she works it so well!!!
For me now, short hair > long hair for Seungyeon. She was born to have shoulder length hair, or whatever length it is... I still haven't seen it enough to remember
Eye makeup was smokin'. This completely lifts my mental image of Seungyeon. Completely.
Nicole. Eh...
IF YOU WERE A BOY I'D LOVE YOU ALL THE SAME!!! E-freakin'-gad. I saw her at the beginning of the MV and from then on was just looking at her. When she wasn't in the shot, I was waiting for her to return. That short hair - she works it like she knows how. And damn, she knows how. I'm wondering if she was given a pass to be that attractive. She is a sexbomb. It's hard to think straight now, Australia's heat and Nicole's hotness are producing an accumulative effect. Her moves were there, they were sharp. She sat on a chair and I felt that it was a perfectly executed action. She leant forward in her chair, I saw her bare back and it was a joyous time for me
I'm not sure about the black/white concept. It could just be my graphics card, but the transition was very sudden and even unjustified. It became alright when they kept switching between the two, but the first time didn't connect with me. For some reason, the white outfits made me think of SNSD
EDIT: Okay, watched again and for some reason my laptop can handle the video on the youtube site. Go figure.
Anyway, to clarify, Seungyeon's hair is about neck length. More for my own satisfaction than anything, I suppose, but hey that's something. I apologize for the seemingly insensitive description of Hara. Watching the MV again, she actually shows out to me a lot more now. I'm still unsure of her, but I'll never have the impression of her that her being in a video will waste my time. She's worth watching.
I'm seeing now what Pops meant about Nicole's white outfit. I like her stomach. Nice shape. I like Nicole. Great girl. Oh, I'm sorry Pops, I know how much you must have been looking forward to her long hair after such a long time. We all know about you and your hair fetish. Hey, it's well-justified. Maybe next time, but I like this style.
