BoA's Top 15 Korean Songs - #12 - The Shadow



If "Moto" was showcasing BoA's abs, "The Shadow" is all about BoA's cleavage, and if that isn't enough reason to watch one of BoA's MVs, well, it sucks to be you.




I love the MV for this song, and BoA's brother has always done a great job with the MVs since BoA came back to Korea. The MV starts out with BoA in the white dress looking like a queen. The tree above the clouds represents the fact that no one is within BoA's league. Then the rest of the MV showcases BoA dancing among mortals while showing off how hot she is. Maybe the songs true meaning is that everyone else will be stuck in BoA's shadow. Yeah, I understand the lyrics, but if other K-pop fans are allowed to make shit up about MVs and songs, so can I!

"The Shadow" definitely reminds me of her older songs with a more modern sound. The beat isn't that fast for a pop song, sounding like it could be a mid-tempo song by today's standards. What helps this song is the strong bass line, otherwise this song could have been pretty forgettable. The rest of the instrumental is drowned out by the bass. However, the bass helps keep the verses entertaining enough to listen to until we get to the chorus, which is pretty good.

Overall, "The Shadow" is a very good song, and it was a great idea for BoA to promote it along with "Only One," as the songs have contrasting styles.

[MV Review] SHINee - "1of1"

After over a year of waiting SHINee follow up the awesome "View" with the decent "1of1." Onew is still incredible. Would totally jump onyu. There is no better to way to start a SHINee review, not even sorry. (I would leave it at that but seeing as I wasn't hired for my trolling abilities...) "1of1" is just okay. That's it. It's not terrible it's not great. It's just pretty decent, and I'm inherently fine with that; however I'm used to SHINee's releases musically blowing me away and this just ain't it. This song is like bubble gum, it's starts off really nice but eventually you either get sick of the same flavor being in your mouth or the gum loses it's flavor and you have to eventually spit it out and wash it down with some  refreshing ice water . The song starts off nice however the initial sound just isn't strong enough to sustain the rest of the song. Better luck next time guys. The video is the highlight ...

The G-Dragon Delusion

And so the bomb went off, and the coming of The Five Horsemen of the K-Popalypse has been prophesied. BIGBANG will come back with something like 45 MVs, IKON stans will have to wait for another couple centuries for YG to get his shit together, and Korea's GDP will climb by several billion won. Though BIGBANG are nominally an egalitarian enterprise, their esteemed leader G-Dragon will no doubt be in the centre of the public eye with they bestow their musical gifts upon us. G-Dragon's apostles would follow him to the ends of the earth without thinking to question whether or not this is rational: being hopelessly devoted to anyone besides the one true God that is JYP is nothing short of ridiculous. What's more, I would question not only Mr. Dragon's deity status, but his very existence. Inspired by the be-suited ballbag himself; Richard Dawkins, and his book 'The God Delusion' (which I have not read but will speak as if I have done so), I will debunk the myth of Kw...

[enter-talk] KINGDOM'S CASTING WILL BE F*CKING AMBIGUOUS

Considering the sunbaes of Stray Kids, ATEEZ and The Boyz (t/n: Knets call them the ZZZ (Zeuzeuzeu), if we exclude the Alist idols, there's Monsta X whose members will be in the army, so only Nu'est is left. It will be real demonic if they really end up casting Nu'est and there's no way they'll be able to cast all 23 members of NCT. Half of Winner's members will be in the army, and GOT7 are in the same company as Stray Kids..
