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.

Pump up the pearly volume - big boobs in k-pop guide part 4

The post that k-pop's tits perverts have waited patiently for all year is finally here, it's the return of the Kpopalypse big boobs guide! Who can possibly keep up with the amount of big boobs in k-pop?  Kpopalypse, that's who!  Read on as Kpopalypse brings you the joys of objectification and superficial fetishism once again! Actually to be completely honest, I have trouble keeping up with new groups much the same as anybody, especially as I don't tend to pay much attention to the individuals in very new groups, so that's where the help of trusty caonimas came in.  I asked readers in a recent survey to nominate entrants for this list, and received several hundred responses which I will now distill in the following post.  Thanks to all those of you who helped me out here - but note that most of you picked girls who had in fact already been covered in previous episodes of this series, so make sure you visit the following links to double-check the trufax ...

EXO-Ls Pillage The Comments Section In BoA's "Who Are You"

*Review coming sometime next week. I was excited for BoA's comeback. It's impossible to be friends with AKF and not listen to BoA a lot. This is the first time BoA has a Korean comeback since I've entered the game. However, I was dumb enough to read the comments, and 99% of them were from EXO fans. I really hate EXO fans. ( Link if the picture is too small. ) BoA is not going to gain more fans through targeting EXOs. You see, more EXO fans are either 12 years old or have severe mental problems or both. If you can stan a group that routinely releases garbage such as " Wolf ," there's no way you're going to stan BoA, someone who can actually compose a song that doesn't sound like the equivalent of ear-pegging. EXO-Ls are being annoying as shit and I don't see how anyone could defend them. ( Link here if the picture is too small. ) He looks like a douchebag. I'm glad I'm not gay or a chick because all of the male idols look like effeminate que...
