Spazz-Fangurl SHINee "Everybody"

Hello guys, Ms. Panda here. This is my review fangurl version of SHINee's "Everybody". So Jessica posted a link to MV earlier if you would like to take a look.
WARNING: THIS IS ONLY A BIASED OPINION FROM A HARDCORE SHAWOL! DO NOT TAKE THIS TOO SERIOUSLY. IF YOU DO NOT LIKE FANGURLING, THEN I WOULD SUGGEST YOU READ JESSICA'S POST. It's a lot more... refined...
Alright. With that out of the way...*warms up  We shall take this slow
SONG: The song was great! I absolutely love the involvement of dubstep. It makes the song more modernized! It's really catchy and you can easily involve the title in everyday use. Right "Everybody"? LOLOL...no? Well. Ok then. Also, it was interesting to have Minho not rap in this song. I'm a bit torn. I love his raps and he at least has a main part in the song but I loved his parts. The rest of them were epic!! It was just Minho's part that stood out to me.
DANCE: Although "Dream Girl" has a more intricate choreography than this, I can actually sorta dance to it way better. I mean seriously! It's not like you have a microphone, broom, etc. with you where you can look epic dancing. Might as well look sorta cool. I mastered Key and Taemin's flute and hand spasm dance poart. That was fun to do. The part around 3:35 was strange to me. It was so lame to me. It was like a part of YOUNIQUE's "Maxstep". Also, the chereo this time, it's not really the SM type of choreo. I would actually prefer them having complicated cool dances really makes SHINee stand out. If they want to continue to be as shining as they are, their choreo should improve. One of the reasons why "Lucifer" and "Ring Ding Dong" was so popular was because of that reason.
IMAGE: WOWZAAA!!! Their outfits are 110% better than before. I hate that flowery concept in "Dream Girl". This makes them so much cooler and sophisticated. Suits look hot on guys ok? Especially from their comeback performance. Those outfits were epic! Hair-wise, Onew looks really good blond! Key...no more extensions please? They do not do him justice. Also, did they double eye-liner everyone? Wow. Not that I'm complaining but wow.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS: Yes, we must not forget an important topic... TAEMIN. Well you have proved yourself to be a man. Those abs seemed very real. (Must control) Interesting choice with Taemin. Can we not have only one? Can we not include Minho and Jonghyun as well? Pretty sure they have abs too. Just sayin'

Overall I really love this song and will put much effort into learning the lyrics and somewhat, the dance. Much more than "Dream Girl"

Thanks for sticking in you guys~ <3

SHINee - Everybody Review

First of all, I'm REALLY REALLY REALLY sorry that I couldn't be doing a lot of reviews... To be honest, I didn't even know SHINee was having a comeback or an MV until Emily showed me the video during lunch.... and let's just say, she was going crazy(:

She said she'll also do a review on this too, but from a "fangirl's" perspective. For this review, as always, I'll try not to be biased and to not incorporate my fanqurl moods(:

===========

Watch the music video first because it's currently midnight and I'm too lazy to summarize most of the video for you guys:( sorry! Watch the first time, fanqurl; watch the second, to notice what's happening and fanqurl more; watch the third and notice EVEN more things; and so on until you get bored (which will be never!)

I obviously don't understand Korean, so I had to google search for the English translation. Initially, I thought it was going to be another love confessing song, but I was so wrong! I probably thought that because Jonghyun made a heart and shot it out to me... LOL 

ANALYZING:

The five members are singing about society, and more generally, the world. They're talking about how we have "an adult mask that gets removed at night". In other words, they're talking about how we're two-faced--not in the mean, snobby way, but how we have two sides: one that is shown during day to everybody, and the other that is purposely evident during night. 

During night, we are party animals. We go crazy. We listen to dubstep (allow me to insert how amazing the dubstep sounds in this video!) and we don't stop until someone commands us to. You should have noticed by now the scary looking dolls and how SHINee dances like robots or controlled puppets. Another interpretation of this can be: all individuals are not free, even if we claim we are. We're always bound by something: work, love, devotion to religion/morals, etc. 

Then, when the sun rises once more, we have to stop being what we wish to be, and become calm and tranquil. Adults have to get to their long, tedious working hours; pupils must attend the stressful six hours of school; and young children have to wake up from their slumber. The sun is practically our frienimy. 

As the day progresses, we place on our mask again--to conceal who we are from the world. 

DANCE:

Moving on to the dance. Compared to Wold and Mama from EXO, this dance does not seem as intricate as the previous, but haha SHINee only makes it LOOK easy in the eyes of viewers. All that turning, arm moving, jumping, hanging in the air--that's the life of idols in SM. 

The dance match very well with the song, especially at Minho's singing part. It's also very smart of SM to incorporate the toy dance (near the end). 

Another thing that is irrelevant to dance, but needed to be pointed out. Notice how the floors are checkered, the scenes are black & white, then all flashy and bright? That's the contrast of day and night. Chess is a game where there are RULES (day); you can't falter away from them, or you've committed foul! When it's bright and flashy, those are implications of freedom and the light in the night. The day, the brightest time of all, is the darkest; while in contrast, the night is the brightest(:

Enjoy the video and Emily will post a spzzing fanqurl review later...soon.... not sure.

Hiatus

Hey guys, I'm very sorry but due to school. The most of us will be way to busy to keep up with the blog. I am really sorry. Honor classes will be the death of us! But before I leave, I will leave you guys with some stuff. There may be 2 or 3 posts before a complete stop. Until we come back, Kamshamnida~ *bows.

EXO - Music Video Drama Episode 2 Review

In the previous post, titled, "EXO - Growl Review", I talked about the first episode of their music video that Sm created to kill us fans.

A little recap from Episode 1. Luhan and EXO fight this gang, resulting in D.O. getting hospitalized.

Episode 2 starts out with EXO all beaten up, bruised lips, hurt neck, bandaged cheeks, etc. Next, EXO, excluding Luhan, visits D.O., along with the girl. On the other hand, Luhan is sitting in his chair, re-thinking his actions.

Luhan watches from afar, making eye-contact with the girl. Oh the drama feels.  Obviously, Luhan is also bruised up just as badly as EXO, so he limps and clings onto his limbs while the girl chases after him. He falls, and the girl takes him home TO HIS HOME FML

Kai sees them together, and he becomes angry. The other gang's rookie takes a picture of Luhan with the girl, and shows it to his boss. Thus, they take the girl and try to lure Luhan in with her. As in any drama, the boy runs to the girl, but this time, Luhan doesn't use his strength to it's max. Stupid kid your precious EXO isn't here. go all out. 

EXO comes and saves his butt. Sadly, Luhan gets hit on the head by a baseball stick and falls to the ground. The girl cries and somehow magically, her tear drop falls onto his symbol. It disappears and the next scene displays a very infuriated Kris.

Sorry, that was all just a recap, but it helps readers get an idea of what's happening. Now, for the review.

Luhan is really depressed to the point where he would even die just to not show his power and scare the girl. (The girl is really annoying me. Not sure if it's her acting or not.) There was this one scene in the gang vs Luhan part, where this member smacked Luhan on the butt. I was laughing for a good 5 minutes until my mom thought I was on drugs. /coughcough

What I interpret from this is that Kris is the one who gave Luhan the "wolf" powers, as I stated in the last review. Luhan is not supposed to fall in love with a female because he's sent into the human world to complete a task. Kris, from experience I suppose, knows that falling in love with a girl clouds your mind and will divert your attention from your task. Also, the only way for one to become human is if one who dearly loves you cries for you (note that the tear drop must drop on the symbol, if it doesn't, well you're screwed). The girl does exactly that and Luhan is turned human. Kris is mad at Luhan, because they were like brothers when they were young.

Luhan left Kris for a girl. His hair also turns black, a human's natural born hair.

Rants:
Where the heck did the gang members go after smacking Luhan? wtf
Why is it that Tao and Kai gets so many shots?
Why does Sehun also fly in the air in the slow motion scenes???
Why do I understand the Chinese subs when I suck at reading Chinese??
Luhan is a pretty good actor... The girl on the other hand.... And sorry Kris, you're bad at acting but you're hot so that makes up for it. I always have to hold in my scream when I see you.

Watch the drama episode 2 here!

EXO - Growl Review

EXO has come back with their repacked album, XOXO. In the new album, there are three new songs, Lucky, XOXO, and Growl. Growl is the new title song that they are currently promoting.

Heads up, this might just be a spazz post but I'll try to be as professional as I can, most likely that won't happen OTL And I'll be reviewing the drama version, not the dance or legit MV versions.

The beginning starts out with Kris (the tall blonde one with the suitcase), and the dramatic instrumental of <Black Pearl>, doing something with Luhan (the baby looking one who is 24 years old but looks younger than both Emily and I). From this, I interpret that perhaps Kris is the one who gives Luhan his supernatural powers (of the Wolf), and he's the leader of the gang, or so.

Next scene shows Luhan flipping through the air and moving like a wolf. Truthfully speaking, these stunts are really unnecessary. When he's jumping over the air vents, there's that big space to his right that he can "crawl" quickly away from the people he's running from.... Sm, you and your logic. I'm also pretty sure when they show "Luhan" doing the stunts, it's not him but a stuntman....yeah AND WHY WOULD YOU RANDOMLY DO THESE STUNTS AND KICKS AND ALL WHEN PEOPLE ARE CHASING YOU. IT SLOWS YOU DOWN.

I'm going to fast forward to the fighting scene where EXO fights against the other gang. There, Luhan gets out of control when he sees his comrades getting hurt, and his inner beast is released. He accidentally throws D.O. to this stack of boxes, and somehow that hurts D.O. fatally.... by just a few boxes. (Shouldn't the boxes have helped his fall?) Anyhow, Luhan and everyone else is astonished at his own power, and his comrades look at him as if he's some ugly beast.

He falls down in despair and the girl that he met back a few scenes before asks him, "What the heck are you? Who are you?" /fake sad crying No offense, but her crying sounds really surreal. I mean you're an actress right? ...........

This is only Part 1, or as SM changed it, Episode one of this miraculous drama. I bet we have to wait ten thousand years for Episode 2.... Oh, I forgot to mention, but the gang that EXO was fighting consist of SM trainees, and one of them is Juno! (The person from SuJu Ballad)

Watch the drama version here :

Also, don't be tricked by SM. ALL of the scenes were filmed in a box, as always.

EXO-K "What is Love?"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6fPzVNIEB0

I had no idea that EXO would be part of my Top 5....but this song is just whoa. Yeayea I know that this is not a new song but I discover new things from time to time. I personally like the scene when they had a little dance part. You know where Kai and Sehun(?)(I can't even memorize SuJu. You can't expect too much from me here. I think I know 4 max) has those chairs and Kai is like O.O sighh. My bias is either Kai, Sehun, or Luhan. What's yours?
