Haven't see the review bout the dramatic T-ara Cry Cry music video?

CLICK HERE

I'll first review bout their music video version 2 (with dancing)

Watch it!


SONG
The song is obviously nice and got a bit Mexico(or it is Spanish?) feeling, which is really different from their previous songs like Yayaya, Bo Peep Bo Peep.

DANCE

The Cry Cry choreography is strong, powerful and catchy.

ENGLISH

Wait, something is wrong with the English. :O

"Cry Cry, can't you see the music?"

Isn't it suppose to be "can't you HEAR the music?" Can we see music? Guess T-ara can. :)

Well, others are not bad, is well used.

VIDEO

The venue of the video..................BASEBALL STADIUM? Am I right? It's a baseball stadium with dark clouds on them! Gonna rain! RUN!

At the starting, it is this very holy music, which makes it very stand out! This is definitely one of my favourite part of the video. Look at the light behind! *Holy*

One of my favourite dance in this video will be the "ultimate body shaking dance"! :D Catchy and sexy

RATING FOR T-ara Cry Cry MV.2

Video: 5.5/10 (Since it is like typical K-pop video, not much to talk bout)

Dance: 7/10

Song: 8.5/10

English: 9/10

[I'm not professional in this, this is only my point of view]

Now let's move onto Ballad Version of Cry Cry

Watch it

Firstly, I want to say that I am really impress that T-ara got this idea to make 2 kind of version of music for this song. Really creative, really impressive. *Claps*

Well, this song is slow, I am not hater of slow songs, but slow songs sometimes just now my favourite. All I can say is this song is welly done. Not that bad too.

VIDEO

The venue of the video is only one I guess, not much change with the background which really alike with the Cry Cry music video version 2 places, but in a smaller spaces.

In the music vid 2, T-ara seems like wild and mysterious women, whereas in Ballad ver. they showed the sad and not that confident part of themselves. A BIG CONTRAST. Well, maybe not that big.

RATING FOR BALLAD VERSION of Cry Cry

Video: 6/10 (It's simple & clean, I like)

Song: 7.5/10

T-ara did a really good job, congrats, and keep fighting :)

I'm feeling sick.

Oh man, feeling so sick today.
Couldn't sleep whole night yesterday, woke up at 12am, then 2am again, then 3am again, then 5am again. Hard night. Hard night

Even now blogging I'm really tired and no strength, gosh.

Feeling scared and worried nowadays, about my health. Tell me, why, why, why.

Probably ate wrong stuff yesterday, and a lot of stuff that causes this.

I'm person that rarely sick, but once sick, it's pain, a of it.

I want to be positive, I don't want to be a pessimist. But I realise as a left-handed, my brain is more towards the sad and angry emotion. Why I am not a right-handed? Guess that's why my parents wanted to change my writing hand when I was young, but failed. Probably born this way.

Let's be positive. Been listening K-pop these days, guess it's because K-pop brings you into a fantasy world, not like European Pop, real and pain. I love 2NE1, been listening their Ugly, although it's a negative title but it has this kind of power that give me power to stand up against life hardship.

:) Let's go, don't stop. Till then.

T-ara Cry Cry // Weekly K-POP Review

This week, we'll be talking about..... T-ara's Cry Cry!!! :D

WATCH THIS AWESOME MV BELOW :D

Starting with their Bo Peep (Click here if you haven't watch) , then their Roly Poly (Click here to watch). I can really see their growing! :) Really. This video, Cry Cry, I must say that it is their BEST VIDEO till now. The music isn't that bad either. It's really different from Bo Peep which is like aegyo style & a bit of sexiness as the spice, this Cry Cry video has no dance at all, but totally in story base. I really love this kind of music video as you can see their sincerity & their creativity, well SM Town really need to learn this from them. :D

RATING FOR THIS VIDEO:

1) Music : 8/10

2) Video : 9/10

3) Creativity : 9.5/10

Here is my review and description about T-ara's Cry Cry MV.

Let's introduce main characters inside the video. :)

Let the story begin!

1) ChaSeungWon (Attashi), he's a detective. 10 years ago, he had this mission to catch the Head Of Mobster.

2) One of the helper of the mobster saw them.

3) The man then quickly catch one of the police to threaten Cha SeungWon.

4) He successfully get away from the police and detective.

5) After that, SeungWon found the head of mobster.

6) The head surrendered.

7) The head sneak a peak to the right and slowly move downwards. SeungWon thought that he wanted to take out his gun. SeungWon quickly shoot his head.

8) SeungWon was wrong. He wasn't trying to take a gun out, but to protect his daughter. Her daughter saw her father being shot, she was crying and shouting "father! father!"

9) 10 years later, SeungWon is still a detective, but with a new helper, name as Jiyeon.

10) Jiyeon is really a good helper, she helped SeungWon (Attashi) to take down bad people.

11 & 12) One day, SeungWon & Jiyeon found a new target criminal. Jiyeon used a camera to record a suspicious woman.

13) In a subway, Jiyeon recorded that the woman was pickpocketing someone's wallet.

14) Jiyeon & SeungWon didn't catch the woman immediately, they followed her after that. The woman took out the wallet and give it to a man and probably her husband. The man found that the wallet has no money, he was angry and used the wallet to hit the woman.

15) SeungWon saw that, he quickly hit down the man to the ground.

16) SeungWon acted like didn't what happened in the subway. He gave back the wallet to the woman. This probably means that SeungWon has realized that he should not do things without thinking after the accident happened 10 years ago.

17) In the car, Jiyeon & SeungWon are searching new criminals. Suddenly, SeungWon saw this paper which has the picture of the helper of mobster 10 years ago that ran away. He didn't want to do this case, because he was worry about Jiyeon, and afraid that Jiyeon will realised how her father died.

18) After that day when he saw the paper, he had dream about 10 years ago, when he accidentally killed head of mobster, which is Jiyeon's father.

19) That night, Jiyeon couldn't sleep. She went beside Attashi (SeungWon).

She said :" Uncle, you are not a bad person. I really want to catch the person that killed my father. Help me please.

20) One day, Jiyeon decided to buy a coat for Attashi.

21&22) She saw the criminal (the man), which she saw before from the paper. (She didn't know that was one of the helper of her father.)

23) She then quietly followed the man outside.

25) She was caught by the man. She then fought with the man but she lose.

26) She was then brought back to the man's criminal base.

27) The man was checking out Jiyeon's purse. He then found two pictures in her purse. One is when she was young with her father. Another one is with SeungWon.

28) The man then said :"Living for so long, I had came across with so many messy things. The one that killed your father is actually the one that you lived with. How messy is this!"

29) SeungWon then searched for Jiyeon. SeungWon successfully found Jiyeon.

30 & 31) Jiyeon realised it was him, SeungWon killed her father.

32) The man shouting Jiyeon to quickly kill SeungWon as SeungWon is one of the best detective in town. He was afraid that if he don't kill him, SeungWon will kill him one day later.

33) Jiyeon was frustrating & angry. But at last she didn't shoot Attashi, but the man on his shoulder/lower chest.

34) Police came.

35) The man (criminal) shot SeungWon. Then, they took Jiyeon away. SeungWon was left on the floor.

STORY END. TO BE CONTINUE.

Basically this is what happened in the story. The fans are being hang there with a lot of mystery and question. Where are they taking Jiyeon? Is SeungWon dead? What will happen later?

And if you didn't know, after the music video, in the credit, the video showed beside is actually the teaser / preview for T-ara's next song call Lovey Dovey. Which is part 2 of this story. Part 1 really give a good job. Hope that part 2 will not disappoint all the fans. :)

Wonder Girls VS Beyonce + BrownEyedGirls

Wonder Girls released this new music video for Be My Baby. I was really excited but after I watched, I was like what? No creativity. It so alike with Beyonce's Single Ladies + BrownEyedGirls' Abracadabra. Yes, I know Wonder Girls got the same choreographer as Beyonce. But why they want to make the video so alike? Why they want to make this confusion? No offence, but just kinda not fresh for a music video any more.

Now, let's compare these 3 videos, Wonder Girls' Be My Baby, Beyonce's Single Ladies and BrownEyedGirls' Abracadabra.

ROUND 1

What I want to mention is not bout their dances since they got same teacher, the dance look alike is okay. BUT! They fashion?!? What Wonder Girls' wearing are just totally same as Beyonce... I mean, at least wear something different so people won't say you copy. And! The video is MAIN in BLACK and WHITE (except some part), why they want to do that again?

ROUND 2

See? Well, they also playing with the light effects just like Beyonce's Single Ladies... Fine..fine.

ROUND 3

Isn't this very very obvious. Wonder Girls' Be My Baby, has this all black and white except for the NEON-ish colors on their costume, same as BrownEyedGirls' Abracadabra.

Okay, maybe I exaggerate a little bit too much, but is seriously undeniable that their music videos are very very alike. Sorry Wonder Girls.

Haven't watch they video? View it below.

Wonder Girls - Be My Baby

Beyonce - Single Ladies

BrownEyedGirls - Abracadabra

MTV EMA 2011

MTV EMA 2011 was a wonderful one. :) Well, for me.

Why? Not because all the awesome performance, not because all the crazy fashion there, not because Selena Gomez as the host for MTV EMA 2011.

It's because....

BIGBANG WON WORLDWIDE ACT!!!!!!!

Ohyea!!!!!!! BIGBANG finally make their comeback in such glory way after the issues bout Daesung's car accident and G-dragon's marijuana (drugs) case. :) This is definitely their year, they totally deserve this award. I mean, I voted for like 100+ times. :D They deserve this so much! Anyway, rumours said that Bigbang got 58 million votes out of 158 million total votes in the whole competition. I am not sure is it true, but it's AMAZING!!!

:) No offence to Britney fans, but this is TRUE. They won, totally :) So proud.

If you haven't watch this, :) watch it now

-Okay, let's talk about other things happened at MTV EMA Award.

The fashion was crazy. Performances were awesome, what I want to mention about is GAGA. Gaga totally owned this whole stage. She was in 6 nominees and she won 4. That's insane. Incase you didn't, I am also a lil' monster (rawr.)

This time, she brought a brand new kind of fashion to us, (she also wore this kind of fashion to Oprah's farewell episode)

Love this fashion really much. :)

Her performance for her latest hit, Marry The Night

Then let's talk about LMFAO, one of the most famous pop group this year I guess, with their Party Rock Anthem then their Sexy And I Know It. They are pretty crazy.

Anyhow, their performance of Party Rock Anthem was not bad, just that the voice is not what I expected. Well, autotuned...

Then, JESSIE J!!! Her performance was dabomb~ :D Totally

Totally awesome night. :) This is the list of the winners for every awards. Congratulations to Lady Gaga, BIGBANG, Katy Perry, Justin Bieber, Linkin Park, 30 Seconds to Mars, Bruno Mars.

:) Once again congratulations to BIGBANG :), KPOP invading the whole world.

BrownEyedGirls - Cleansing Cream // Weekly Kpop Review

This week let's talk about BrownEyedGirls (BEG) Cleansing Cream. After their top hit, Sixth Sense, now their Cleansing Cream. (Click here to watch Sixth Sense)

Truly, I am amazed by this video (Cleansing Cream), the song sounds quite typical with other korean slow song, but their vocal is undeniably nice. Can see that they didn't just choose for appearance but also the quality of the song, let's first talk about their video plot.

1) First, we see a blind-folded girl, at first I thought she just blind folded, but no, it represent blindness. :)

2) Then the we see a man and a woman, sleeping apart, well, I guess this represents that their love is broken.

3) Then the blind girl slowly go into their room, start touching here and there, this represents how blind our life is, especially when one's in love, he/she is blind.

4) Then I guess the blind girl and the woman live together means they are sisters. The sister saw her blind sister touching her husband, there's jealousy and anger in her. She realizes her blind sister is just like her once, how blindly in love she was and causes her now in a broken love, broken family.

5) Slowly day by day, the sister's anger and jealousy become more and more.

6) In breakfast, the blind sister is in full of ugly makeup on her face. This shows that the how messed up the other sister current life is.

7) The sister can't take it anymore, well maybe she wants to make everything back to last time, back the clean and pure love and life, she took the blind sister into the bathroom, forcing her to wash up, to wash all the memories last time when she was blindly in love.

8) She tried to kill her blind sister, maybe this represent she really angry and regret that she is currently in a broken love and want to kill all the memories back behind.

9) But at last she couldn't do it... It wouldn't change anything in her life, what is done is done.

Well, I guess this is probably the deeper meaning in this video, if I got anything wrong feel free to comment to correct me. :)

What should I review next week? :)

Finally Back :D
