BIGBANG 'Monster' and TEEN TOP 'To You'

TEEN TOP 'To You'

OK in this song I, and many other fans, were all trying to figure out what they were saying. I heard 

"Hey,do you, do you, do you now" 

"Hey, do you, do you, do you know?" but never "to you" 

either: 

1)my hearing is weird 

2)thier pronunciation is off 

i think it's a combo of both

As just a song, I love it, vocals seemed to sort of compliment one another, in a way . 

Chanjo's opening part is in my head.

Really liked Neil's ''it's like maeil maeil  every day-ah.'' And when he says "Babo ga dwaesseo ireohkena honja" esp the ''na honja." Which make the little voice inside of me say "we were just talking about how we don't like Neil getting these uber long vocal parts, so it looks like the group is Neil and Co. Now we have him share the spotlight with the others and all you have to say is you like Neil's chorus part? you freakin' fickle person!!!" 

Yeah that's me.

Loved L.Joes rap at 2:23 and his facial expressions. During this part, I was like "that's right L.Joe you beat up that cheating scumbag" (yes i still have hard feelings from the 'Perfume" MV)

Come to think of it I was also fond of CAP's rap. When he got rejected i was like "ooh, dude, that's gotta hurt'' and he delt with that pain by what looked like flicking her off. Yeah, like a boss CAP, like a boss.

That girl looked very manly, esp. when she went to grab the couple ring. Are you telling me that this girl managed to play ALL the members of TEEN TOP? Like actually date them all? It kind of threw me off when all the other members walked around all angry and depressed (great opportunity to show off their acting, nice) but L.Joe and Chunji looked like they were about o throw down. Very disappointed when i didn't get to see the cheater guy's guts spill out but if we did there would be a whole mob of upset fan-girls with pitchforks and torches waiting to murder the person who thought that up. Oh well, you can't please everyone, esp the minority (being just me in this case).

Ah, that hurt me when L.Joe put the couple ring on the table at 3:24. Oh, that hurt, cue the tears.

At 3:33 i got so excited like " o daebak they're all in the room and she's going to get confronted, Where's my popcorn? This is gonna get good'' Only to have my hopes crushed when she walks into an empty room. So close to getting on my list of epic MVs. 

At 3:44 L.Joe held up that necklace saying "To You" i was like "hold up, he was wearing that the whole time? Then i watched the video over and saw that Chanjo and CAP also had rings saying "To You" boy, did i feel stupid then.

Really digging Chunji's red flame haier and facial expression at 1:22.

Also how L.Joe rocks that checkered suit at 1:22.

The way they all rolled their jackets down and did the shoulder moves as well as Neil's body roll made the church-girl inside me go o_o only my eyes were much wider and my mouth was in the shape of an 'o'.

Really like the dance sequence at the car- parking- lot- place...at 1:47. Favorite location out of the whole MV.

Neil's note was in ENGLISH not KOREAN. MUST READ. But I can't  because he only shows part of the note and penmanship is very poor. 

But here's what i got so far:

True (but is probably, hopefully "Give") me on chance, it right?, and is...

And that's all i'm gonna get cause the dude crumbles it up before I can see anything else.

Overall I think this is the best MV TEEN TOP has come out with and I liked it a lot. There was a plot line which you could follow most of the time. They changed their image a whole bunch for this too so, thumbs up from me. That's the whole purpose of a comeback: to recreate your image. TEENTOP really accomplished that so i stand behind them in that respect 100% (unlike some concepts they went for in the past like transforming- spy-boys with waay too much makeup in 'Supa Luv', that concept made no sense to me, but this one does). We also got to see the other member more so now we know it's not "Neil and Co"

And there was a note that was in English major points for that, even if i could only read part of it and what i read didn't make too much sense.

In the dance version I rather enjoyed 2:02 when L.Joe punched Neil. On purpose. hehehe I know, I'm evil. I also noticed there a was a Ferris wheel and a carousel at 2:22. Could that be the same Ferris wheel from B1A4's 'Beautiful Target'? Do they just keep these things in huge storage rooms or something? 

I'm very curious now.*rubs chin while pondering*

Other Comments:

Oh wow, L.Joe is using an iPhone. *shock it's not Samsung*

The red suits during the dancing sequences reminded me of U-KISS 'Forbidden Love' (loved that MV soo much).

BIGBANG's  'Monster'
This is probably one of the most epic MVs in music history. That was what I thought when I first watched the MV. Then after watching the EatYourKimchi review over it, I decided to reexamine my thoughts. 
I agree with Simon that there really is no story within the MV but in the song itself there is. He's changed the whole world has turned against him and now she is too; that's the story in a nutshell. 
Maybe in the MV, it's supposed to be a supposed "monster" trying to find it's way out of a maze; the maze being representative of the judging eyes of society. Well, there's my attempt at playing English teacher.
This MV definitely had ''monster'' written all over it. I consider that a concept, and this MV did a really good job of showing that; through the wardrobe as well as hair/makeup. This MV gets high marks from me just for that in and of itself.
The song made me cry when T.O.P said "the thing that hurts the most is that you've become part of everyone.''I think this whole song tugs at the emotions a bit and BIGBANG's acting just adds to that. My favorite part, as far as vocals go, was Sungri's from 2:03-2:17, even though his English was a bit off. There's no history of YG songs that have misused English like some other companies, *cough SM cough* so I don't have a huge problem with it.
The song for me was a complete masterpiece and I felt like the MV showed one huge element in the story of the song. He's changed and people now view him as a monster; the MV shows him as a"monster." Which leads me to another thought. So my friend was telling me how this album really show us BIGBANG's feelings when they were going through their ''scandals.'' So this lead me to think that perhaps this was a song to all those people who stopped being fans of BIGBANG when thing started to look bad. Just like 'Still Alive' was a song to people who thought BIGBANG was going to disband but' that's just what I think soo.. yeah.
Other Little Comments:
While the other members take their frustrations out on the statue by either punching it like Senguri and Daesung or kicking like Taeyoung and GD, T.O.P just pushes the thing down and walks away. Like a boss T.O.P, like a boss.
What is this at 2:39? There has got to be symbolism in that, right?

F(x) 'Electric Shock', Dal Shabet 'Mr.Bang Bang', Boyfriend 'Love Style'

Sorry I haven't posted in a while, got caught up with other things and this blog just got neglected. heehee :)

But many new MVs have come out since my last post so now, as a result, i've got a bunch of reviews to write. 

Boyfriend 'Love Style'

Was really really looking forward to their comeback cuz i really really, really liked 'Boyfriend.' But I was severely disappointed with their comeback MV. 

I think i was a bit too harsh on the boys at first, so i forced myself to re-watch the MV and reconsider.

Wardrobe:

Floral jumpsuits and floral suit jackets. Were we going through a wallpapers when we were coordinating their outfits? Answer me coordi Noona and makane stylist! It looked horrible, childish, and really outdated. Speaking of which, most of the members had up-do's that looked they they were from the movie 'Grease' or something. The only article of clothing i liked was that long white jacket that either Youngmin or Kwangmin(the twins) was wearing during his solo shot at 1:11. I hated just about everything else they were wearing. To contradict, while most member are trying they're best to make that whole floral mess look good, one member has on a plaid(?) jacket with spikes on the shoulders. Yeah. *Face Palm*

Song/Lyrics:

The song had a really upbeat feel. I watched a subbed version and i tear up a little, i'm like you're willing to change that much for the person you love? That's soo sweet. No, that's more than sweet it's love.(ok that just sounded really cheesy). Oh, the things that k-pop can do to me.

Choreography:

The boys were still the cute lovable guys i loved so much form 'Boyfriend.' Their moves were simple, fun, and cute. But maybe it was too simple.

At 2:03 i was like what the.. why the back-up dancers just use the other member like you've been doing. Why pay these guy to appear for less than 10 seconds in your MV? That just irritated me. We have 4 other very goo-looking boys to do this dance. Why would you not not use them and have some like nerdy looking guys in their 30s dance with this boy? I don't understand the minds of these directors. *sigh*

What Irritated the ---------- Out of Me And I Don't Know What Category I Should Put It Under So I'll Just Write About It On Its Own 
During most of the solo shots the members were against a green screen. So usually you would have some cool background going on behind them that's somewhat but not really related to the MV right? And we expect the same thing here right? Wrong. 

So in the first few seconds of the MV they had "Boyfriend", "Love Style", and "First Mini Album" on the screen. I was completely ok with that, in the beginning. Then during their solo shots (ex 1:15, 1:18,1:25) stuff like

"DISTRIBUTEDBYLEONENTERTIANMENT,INC.

MANUFACUTUREDBYSEO(1:25 his head's blocking it so i can't read it)IA,INC.

2012.06ALLRIGHTSRESERVED

UNAUTHORIZED" written just like that all caps,no spaces, not kidding, well minus the () of course. That just tells me that the company wasn't really going to go all the way with this MV and didn't even try to hide that. That infuriates me, Boyfriend deserves better than this slacker effort by their company. They probably spent all their won sending SISTAR to Las Vegas. I think this is where budgeting comes in. But hey,  I'm just netizen who's a of fan of this group, what would I know compared to the company that owns them? Oh, there are times.......

Conclusion:
After my reconsidering these are my feelings:like the song, but seriously despise the MV.

Dal Shabet 'Mr.Bang Bang'

When i first saw this MV, i hated it. But like 'Love Style' i re-watched it and re-considered.

Song: 

Fun, catchy, and totally something Dal Shabet would do. The English makes complete sense and fits the situation perfectly. DAL SHABET THANK YOU SOOO MUCH FOR USING ENGLISH PROPERLY!!!! *applauds while a tear falls* (well u know there was that one grammar mistake when she says ''how longer is it gonna take?"instead of "how much longer is it gonna take?" but that's ok cuz the rest of the English was used so well). This song is totally something I'd want to dance and sing along to.

Dance: 

Cute-ish, considering there was a lot of...hip movement going on here.Love how at 1:01 they start dancing with their guns in hand. 

Wardrobe:

I see we're still stuck in the old west from B1A4's 'Baby Goodnight'. In a way the outfits seemed to combine the old west and modern dress.The hat at 1:50 the denim, and the boots put together with the... shorter modern styles(see the tops and bottoms they are wearing) made me think that.     

Other Comments:

At 0:44 they just get up from being scared by that one shot and start chasing people and pointing guns at everyone like psychos. I don't know but for some reason that made me laugh. Maybe i'm just twisted like that.

At 1:29 yes, use your gun as a mic because that's not dangerous at all. Oh, hun i hope your finger's not on the,.. oh it is on the trigger.I really hope your finger doesn't slip.

Conclusion:

It's a funny MV that fits the song pretty well in my opinion. All in all, this was a good comeback for Dal Shabet. FIGHTING!!!!

F(x) 'Electric Shock'

Okay so this MV was basically a dance with solo shots. And I loved every second of it.
Song:
Fun beat and very addictive; as is the rest of the album.

Choreography:

To me it looked like the  music cued when and how they should move. I love when groups move according to the music, let the music tell them what to do.

Sets:

I loved how the purple and pink set had those lights spinning around like crazy and the white set had lights pulsating like, well an electric shock 

Things the Members Did That I Loved:

Victoria at 1:20 she looked so pretty and had a voice to match her image

Sulli at 1:28 holding the paddles asking 'Doctor what are these?" hee again with the shock

Luna the whole time

Amber girl's got it goin' on 

Krystal when she lead the dance at the start of the MV

Of all the MVs I reviewed in this post, 'Electric Shock' is my favorite.
