coley_merrinI guess I should make an actual post instead of just spamming twitter and/or tumblr (........what do you mean multiple platforms makes me lazy? Why would you suggest that?)
So, you know...every new album an artist or group puts out, you kind of have that worry. Will I like it? Will I fall for the song? The other songs? The new styling? There are hits and misses. /stares at another artist this year. /also stares at David Cook and gets "Circadian" stuck in my head again
I actually had to go back and watch the teaser and MV to "Sorry, Sorry," and the teaser and MV to "Bonamana." (And teaser and MV to "Super Girl," and teaser and MV to "Perfection"... I cannot resist a Zhou Mi, okay.) Just to sort of remember what other teasers had led to. XD
Obviously since we have a first and second teaser for "Mr. Simple." Now, I remember watching the "Sorry, Sorry" teaser about....a billion times. And I remember watching the "Super Girl" teaser to the point where I got sick of seeing my own :D face in the black screen of my monitor after it had finished. ("WE CAN SEE ZHOU MI'S EARS and that hair!" ...sorry, almost two years out and I'm still not done having a moment.) So it seems like we waited less time for this MV, and that was because I wasn't alone. XD And also because we were too busy jamming to "Walkin'" and teeheeing over Eunhyuk's voice, and rolling around over "Perfection." ...And still not sold on Kyuhyun's pants, but I know pants are a fleeting thing. Eunhyuk really owned the music video, and that's not just because he stood out amidst the hairstyles. I don't even have a preference for blond hair, but he and Ryeowook especially stood out for me, looks, demeanor, everything. And Siwon. And /lists everyone because their faces and voices make me stupidly fond. Like Leeteuk's opening "Hey! I'm Mr. Simple." Makes me want to reach through and pat him on the head. I haven't even found That Moment yet where Siwon is totally out of sync with everyone. (....I love him a lot okay.) And Kyuhyun's voice is flawless, etc, etc. Pbbbt. So yeah. The song has meaning, and people can find a lot of reasons to criticize, but it stands as a catchy song that I enjoy as much as I hoped to. <3
...Kind of miss the epic "COMEBACK" from some of them, haha. XD Sigh. Among other things. But as we're still waiting to see what the second teaser will lead to, ehm.
I would probably have part of the song as a ringtone, but like I could nudge Zhou Mi out of that spot. :P

Date: 2011-08-07 12:18 am (UTC)But I am biased, as I think the Super Girl teaser was perfection and the MV was perfection. I'm stuck on it forever. Dancing and a real set and a plot and hot outfits and Jessica and askdfljs flawless.

Date: 2011-08-07 12:29 am (UTC)But yeah, Super Girl teaser/MV... watching it again today, that feeling still hasn't left me. Sigh. <3 The feelings won't stop~~

Date: 2011-08-07 12:34 am (UTC)Though of Sorry, Sorry, Bonamana, and Mr. Simple, I think I like the Mr. Simple MV most, style-wise. Plus, oh god, we have some color!

Date: 2011-08-07 12:42 am (UTC)I can't even weigh them against each other yet. But the color is definitely a plus! I'm just riding on the positive feelings because there's so much to like about it, and it continues to grow on me. <3 Funny pants and all, haha.

Date: 2011-08-07 04:06 pm (UTC)I didn't even like the song at first. I have said this next part wherever I commented, the teaser music is not anything to do with the album music. I mean I know I am fairly deficient in Korean but I searched for that music and uhhh nope. But then the MV came out and I forgave them quite a bit.
Eunhyuk owned a little more than that video. The new hair color looks surprisingly good on him, better than it did on TOP earlier this year, though there is more blonde than white to the color.
Yes, he and Ryeowook stood out and Yesung too. They just look fairly scrumptious. I think a large part of it was the makeup. Still stage makeup for days but made to look so very simple. Not a lot colors that didn't belong. As close to natural as they could get with all the makeup on, well that and Eunhyuk's mouth. Probably one of the sexy things I have glimpsed in a while, I focused on his lips everytime the camera landed on him in the MV. And I focused for quite some time, let me tell you.
I left Kyuhyun's pants out of it altogether.
Have you seen the live performances yet? Niiiice.

Date: 2011-08-07 08:10 pm (UTC)Haha...It is even MORE abstract than any of the other teasers. >.> The first one was really nice for images, and now I'm just really curious to see how the second will fit in. XD
The understated makeup (and eyeliner...oh hey) were definitely amazing. And Eunhyuk's mouth, yes. He's almost impossible to look away from every time on camera. Watching the MV, it was a struggle to focus on the others at times. XD~~~
I'm choosing to focus on Kyu's later pants. XD Those are better.
And yes! \o/ Now hopefully they get some rest before the shows start up again. But it's always great to be able to see the dance straight through. It'd be cool if we got a drama/dance only version of the MV. <3<3 They really do know how to work the stage~~
