SHINee 'Dream Girl' MV

SHINee is back with a new album and video, ‘Dream Girl’.  The song about a dream girl that they see each night but disappears in the morning, starts out with this heavy house beat and then transforms itself with well placed guitar strumming, smooth vocals and deep bass and techno influences. It’s a bit reminiscent of Sherlock since so much is going on in the song, musically, that you never get tired of it. It’s constantly changing, making you wonder what you’re going to hear next.

SM was nice enough to release the MV and Dance version at the same time. The video is bright and fun just like SHINee is. The outfits, oh the outfits in this video. Just as always I both love and hate what they have on. If it was anyone else I would have laughed and stopped watching the video but why does every weird flower pattern look so oddly good on them? With the exception of Key’s shoes here, I enjoyed picking out all the different patterns and colors.

**Note to other bands:  Don’t try this at home kids, these guys are professional color and pattern mixers, any attempt made on your own could severely damage you image.**

I love the choreography it shows them like an old-school vocal quintet with the mike-stands, but then showcases the new aspect with the creative dancing.

Overall I like the song and video, I think the song will grow on me the more I listen to it, but right now I’m looking forward to their first on-stage performance. I can hardly wait to see them on Music Core or any of the other music programs, because I think I’ll like it better than the MV.

B.A.P 'One Shot' MV

The boys are back!!!.... oh wait they never went away. I’m starting to think their going to be more like an American band since they don’t do goodbye stages. They just simply come out with a new song and album. Since their debut last year,  they have released 8 songs as a group, all of which, I liked. I love that they try new things, their MVs usually have a story, and that they can be gangsta and cute depending on the song and video.

This video is all about being gangsta, as they play a gang that has one of their friends held for ransom. The story for this one is the best yet with thugs, robbery, yachts and girls, and a shoot out. Even the choreography for this was bad-ass. The floor work was animalistic and hot, and Zelo’s back walk was crazy. The whole MV had my eyes bugged out and glued to the screen.

But behind the great story-line of this MV was a great song. ‘One Shot’ as a song is about taking charge of you life and choosing to live in a good way since we only get to live this life once. Some lines from the song:

“Shout your voice to the world”

“Even if the world abandons you, protect yourself”

“Shake your head and say no to being a slave to laziness…all those who don’t try, wake up right now”

“Like Martin Luther King Jr. shine the light”

They type of song that makes you want to look at yourself and try harder every day to reach your goals.

The combination of ‘One Shot’  and ‘Rain Sound’ has finally pushed me into the official fan category. By that,  I mean that I not only like their songs, but I want to find out more about them, watch them sing and dance as well as other variety shows that they took part in. In short, I’m in love hehe.

Unfortuntely all the stages so far have been one member short. Himchan broke his ring and pinky finger on his right hand, and had to get surgery. I would love too see all six of them together for this song, but more importantly I hope Himchan gets better.

Here are screenshots from the video:

Last thing, seriously. Bang's acting in this MV was pretty damn good. The range of expressions that he went through during the shoot out scene was good, I think I see a few dramas in his future :)

What did you think of the video greatness or just okay?
