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.
