The SNSD album is great, and the title track is one of the better ones in recent years.
Then the MV comes, and shits all over it.. so sad..

Not feeling the MV unfortunately.

The MV is pretty incoherent... I have no idea what they were aiming for.

I actually liked the MV for not being cookie cutter, they picked a distinct visual style and they can always release a dance ver later. The fact that they tried something different as usual gets them buzz, positive or negative, but I thought it was pretty well made.

It's not the style that bothers me, it's the quality of the video, it's so jumpy.

I mean sure, good on them for trying something new, but it just didn't turn out that good. Oh well.

Well it was something visually different that didn't involve grabbing their asses or spreading their legs to the camera so they're automatically better than most girl groups imo

Just gonna wait until I see live perfs before I make final judgement, but that SNSD MV was super disappointing. I don't think I'm the only one that thinks they should have promoted Soul instead?

Ah and new BESTie just earned a spot on my playlist. :D

Don't think that new snsd is necessarily bad but it isn't good either and I actually believe MR MR has less live performance potential than even IGAB lol but of course gotta wait for actual performances to judge that but apart from the dancebreak the song doesn't seem very suited for live...

SM!! SNSD is already the unsurmountable wall and at top. We don't need another big hit like Gee. They always try to repeat same lines like Mr Mr, i got a boy, trying to create that jackpot that wonder girls created through its tell me and so hot.. Give us a good song like himnae or something. SO DISSAPOINTED WITH MV... its literally shit

SNSD MV seemed like a confusingly spliced up mixture of a Lady Gaga and a Justin Timberlake MV

I was at the 2ne1 concert in seoul. They are really talented and their new album is very solid. Opened with their new song Crush and the stadium went nuts. They had remixed alot of their songs and unlike the dubstep gayo daejun garbage some were actually quite good, especially a slower Ugly version. Their ballads (Lonely, Missing you, Come back home (unplugged)) were really amazing and they sure are no playback artists...

CL is the obvious leader of the group, I havent seen any other artists in Korea who carries herself as well as she does. She was owning the stage by herself with the baddest female and 멘붕. And as you know she has a fantastic voice.

Overall it felt quite professional and international standard - especially with a rockband full of black guys behind them. They were also grinding on some random audience guys who looked like they were about to pass out, similar to what Ive seen at for instance rihanna concerts back home. But their "World tour" is really "Asia tour"...

They were strict on cameras but I snapped some at the encore when the security seemed to stop caring.

Im actually going back for the 2nd concert tomorrow because im a fan of 2ne1 ballads sung live.

Holy shit I must be the only one who enjoyed SNSD's music video and didn't mind all the lens flares and the random close-ups. I feel like the less you know about what makes a MV good, the more you can enjoy it.

You guys thought the random close-ups and camera switching was bad, I don't think you guys remember this.
