SHINee View MV

SHINee is back! We've waited for this and here it is. Few things about this I liked and I didn't like. First, I love the song. Little repetitive, but I love it. It's super fun and summer-sounding and carefree. Second, Minho finally got a hair color change! Thank you SM, it was long overdue. Third, people keep talking about how nice the boys' arms look, which is true, but what about the fact that SM has girls undressing in front of them? I do love that SM let SHINee have an out-of-the-box MV however, I thought it was a little inappropriate to have the girls who kidnapped them start taking off their clothes, and the boys looked rather uncomfortable with it. I'm not a feminist but I felt like this gives off the feel of sexualization of the girls. Fourth, going along with the out-of-the-box MV; I think SHINee should have come to America where they aren't as popular and wouldn't be as recognized. Come visit me, I promise no one will know who you are where I live. Except, of course, F4fighting! but there were a few girls in the video. no one will try to take your pictures, I promise you won't be on TV at the grocery store. But silliness aside, it was nice to see the boys break free of the box and have a fun MV outside with running and jumping. I'm not even mad that we didn't really get to see a dance. SHINee are, in my opinion, the best dancers in the Kpop industry right now and I know we will see a live version and a dance version of some form. It was good, I'm glad that SHINee is back. 

Project Kidnap SHINee

Well we get another trailer! This one is titled "View" and it shows the members of SHINee being kidnapped by a woman. We still don't get a release date but if they've released two teasers within a day then it has to be soon. Like Maybe the 18th of this month, soon? Does Minho have blonde hair? Cause I'd be willing to get on that boat. It's not every day that you come across a Kpop group who all look good with blonde hair. I know some people would argue B.A.P right here but I didn't care for them all blonde. Team looked fantastic with blonde hair, Key looks good in any color, it too me a minute but I liked Onew with blonde hair during the Everybody/Symptoms era, and while Jonghyun's blonde hair was my least favorite out of them all, he still looked good with it; I will forever be in love with his brown to blonde in the RingDingDong era. I cant' get over it!! Minho, you had better live up to your group's standards of attractive blondes.

SHINee's Odd comeback teaser!

Really? SHINee is coming back? Yay!!!!! The teaser sure lives up to the title "odd" I'm not sure what to think of the tropical sounding music and the swimming but maybe we'll get a fun summer video. As long as their dance is awesome, I don't care what we get cause SHINee's back! Almost. We don't get a release date, just that they will comeback in 2015... But I'm sure we'll get another teaser... probably.

Big Bang are Losers?

Okay, much better than Bae Bae which felt like a reintroduction of each member; GD will sing/rap first, and then Taeyang, followed by T.O.P, Seungri, and finally Daesung. This song and video felt like it had a plot(ish) and the song was better. The song reminded me of Stupid Liar, not in the beat or tempo but rather in the message of the song and the feeling fro it. The MV, however, reminded me of GD's Crooked. The 'I don't care, life sucks,' kind of vibe was strong in both videos. The MV was very interesting and after watching it a couple times and looking up the lyrics it sort of makes sense. Each fan will interpret the video differently but from how I see it each member is telling a story. GD plays someone who comes from money, very rich, but very lonely seeing as he is alone through the whole MV and aimlessly wanders the streets till he ends up lying on the asphalt in the middle of an intersection (which I'm sure is symbolic for something). Taeyang was religious. He had some form of faith but it appears that he's lost it. I'm going to say that he committed some form of sin and he feels he can never go back so dying is the only option for him; thus he commits suicide. Seungri has a girlfriend who is cheating on him. On the outside he seems like a very composed person but it's rather clear he has serious anger issues based on the way he's smashing everything in his apartment up and the how he treats the girl when he confronts her. Daesung is a kind hearted, insecure guy. He gets attacked by a group of thugs, I'm not sure why they attack him, but he decides he needs to become stronger. After he feels confident enough he goes and attacks the three who beat him up but all that does is get him even more injured. T.O.P's story is the most interesting which is why I saved it for last. I feel like his is the one filled with the most symbolism which is why it was most difficult for me to understand. T.O.P is a clean-control-freak who doesn't want anything in his life tampered with. He's clothed head to toe while the girl he is with is in her underwear. This could be symbolic for him giving nothing of himself to her while she is the one doing the loving in this relationship. Everything in his apartment is covered in white sheets and the second the woman touches one of the sheets to see what's underneath T.O.P looses his cool. Next time we see him, he's wandering through an alley in his pajamas and covered in blood. My guess is that he snapped and killed her. The lyrics suggest that that either the girls are prostitutes, or T.O.P goes through women really quickly. The lyrics also could mean that this isn't the first time something like this has happened which maybe is why he covers everything in sheets; easy clean up. That's a little sick if you think of it.
However you interpret this video, it is very interesting.
I really liked how, in the song, one member would say "I'm a," and another member would say "loser" in a cool transition from each member's part. Very nicely done. Don't want to say much more cause I've spent a lot of time on the video but read the lyrics, they're interesting and help tell the story of the video.

BigBang is back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

BigBang is back!!!!! Honestly, I didn't believe the rumors cause it's been three years and they've been "coming back" for two years, but they came back with two new music videos!! They released Bae Bae and then Loser; one right after the other. Let's watch Bae Bae first!!

Um.... I don't even know... Yeah... the video is rated 19+. I have no idea what just happened.

I Need U MV

This was just as cheesy as I thought it would be. I understand that it's a serious video about the boys dealing with getting over a girl in different ways but it was cheesy. Let's see if I got this right. Based on the MV, Jungkook cries and becomes a zombie to get over this girl, Jin burns a flower, on a wood floor which seems dangerous. Suga lies in a hotel room with a lighter and gets all broody, Jimin takes a fully clothed bath and burns a picture(?) letter(?) and considers drowning himself. J-Hope considers suicide, V gets all sad and goes emo, and RapMon, well either he didn't get his heart broken or he got over it quickly. Way to be the mature one RapMon. Well however they try to cope it's obvious to see that Bangtail Boys realized what lots of other Kpop guy groups come to realize after a breakup; bros are the best medicine. I did like the song even though it was crazy repetitive. I can't wait to see the live version as I am sure it will be filled with lots of slow, pain filled, expressive, dance moves.

I Need U teaser

This is going to be so cheesy, isn't it? This teaser had me nearly laughing outloud. The angst, the brooding, the pained expressions. I love BTS; however, I like their faster hip-hop songs far better than any of their slower songs. I think the only slow song by them I have on my phone is Coffee, and I skip it 9 times out of 10. But, we are getting a slow sounding song. Let's see how this goes. April 29th.
