Where's the Simple Part?

I finally had a chance to watch Super Junior's new MV for "Mr. Simple" this morning, and kind of having mixed feelings about it. I love seeing my first k-pop love again, seeing new things from them ... but at the same time there was no much that I felt wasn't "new."

It threw me for a loop in the beginning of the MV, when Siwon is focused in on and then Heechul walks by and then Kyuhyun is standing where Siwon should be. To be honest, I looked away for one quick second and the next thing I know Kyuhyun was there. Then I couldn't believe that I mistook Kyu for Siwon and I honestly thought I was a bad fan because I didn't recognize him -- my favorite maknae of all-time (shhhh, don't tell P.O!).

And then Donghae walks by and again, I was so freaking distracted by watching Eunhyuk's jacket fly through the air and magically glide up his arms and onto his shoulders that I didn't notice after Hae walks by the Kyu turns back into Siwon. So at the end I just see Siwon standing there and I'm like "WTF NO YOU WEREN'T THERE!"

SME, why you making us fangirls feel like we're losing our minds?

Then again I have a crappy attention span.

The video starts and I have to admit ... not much of a giddy, excited reaction this time around. Although I did have to replay the beginning a few times because I swear as soon as Leeteuk says, "Hey, I'm Mr. Simple," there is a sound-bite of the Facebook chat notification, that "pop."

But once everything starts and the lights are flashing, distracting you from their choreography -- which is absolutely plain in comparison to previous MVs -- I can see where a lot of people have compared it to "Sorry, Sorry" and "Bonamana." It's the same beat, same sound. And I think because of the fact that "Sorry, Sorry" was such a massive hit, they want to try to duplicate that success, so by making their first singles off these last two albums sound identical to the beat of "Sorry, Sorry" they think they'll have another hit on their hands.

The choreography is really good in some parts, like I love the "x dance" as some of you are calling it. But as for the chorus, it truly is like the "da da da da da da da da da" circle motion in "Sorry, Sorry," only they are standing still and doing it slower.

It's a new song, a new album, a new look for every single one of them ... give us something fresh and exciting.

As far as look goes ... perfect. No complaints at all from me (which you should all know by now is seldom).

Perfect.

 

Perfect.

And as far as Leeteuk goes ...

Yes, please.

Like I said, I like the song a lot, not particularly crazy about the video, but I'm really happy that Super Junior is back once again and I'm so excited to see more from them.

And if I'm not mistaken, I think one of the producers that took part in that atrocious ELF anthem called me out via Twitter and said he'd really like to hear my review for "Got Your Number."

Oh, bring it.

Check out the new MV for Super Junior's "Mr. Simple."

Oh, Sweet Shisus! Super Junior is Back!

I have been waiting for this day. I have been waiting for my ridiculously-numbered biases to come back. And of course, it being Super Junior, there is very little room for disappointment.

I know some people have criticized "Bonamana" and are taking a disliking to it ... all I can say to you is that you will change your mind, because I fully believe that Super Junior has this tiny little subliminal message in the form of ear cocaine embedded into each and every song. You will come to love "Bonamana." I guarantee it.

Last night the MV was released, and I didn't watch it until about five in the morning. And I know I have not covered ANY music video by way of spazzing blog post since BIGBANG released "Let Me Hear Your Voice." But it's freaking Super Junior and I love them and pretty much credit my entire addiction and this blog to them. So if you love me and this blog, you should be very thankful for the largest boy band in the world.

Let me start off by saying that I want all ten of them to take turns on a little spinning pedastal in the corner of my bedroom, lights shining all over their body. Mainly, (and I cannot believe I'm saying this, because it's just SO not me), I want Sungmin and Heechul rotating, because ... well ... they look pretty damn sexy.

I cannot believe I just said Heechul and Sungmin are sexy. This video has me all sorts of sexually confused right now. But I retract the previous opinion that Heechul's hair looks ridiculous and he's ugly, because it now actually looks good on him.

And it makes me happy to know that Leeteuk is showing flesh. And lots of flesh. In fact, just a jacket, nothing underneath it. I know that The Boyfriend really hates Teuk. No, he really hates him. He actually watched the video before I was able to, and while he credited the choreography and said he liked it a lot (he is a dancer and is pretty much the biggest fanboy to Taeyang), he also said there was a lot of "stupid parts" like "wearing a jacket with no shirt underneath. Is that necessary?" I of course not having seen the video, didn't know he was talking about Teuk. Now that I know, I think it's hilarious and adorable.

BUT DO YOU KNOW WHO CAUGHT MY ATTENTION MORE THAN ANYONE? MORE THAN TEUK FLESH? THAT ADORABLE LITTLE SEXY ASS GEEK, KYUHYUN.

Seriously ... I always thought when the day came that Teuk showed endless amounts of flesh, no other Super Junior member or K-Pop idol could distract me. But damn that Kyuhyun and the fact that he's pure sex in the video and now he has become one of the main dancers ... holy shit. There are good things in your future, Kyu. Very, very, VERY good things.

They all look so amazing and delicious. And I think I speak for all of you when I say the best dance move occurs between 0:55-0:58. Am I right or what? (Someone make a .gif and send it to me ASAP!!)

Although it is not the same with only ten members, I am ridiculously excited for the comeback stage and the live performances and the constant media-whoring these boys will do. Because you know damn well that Super Junior is compiled of attention whores. And that's why I love them.

Check out "Bonamana" and try not to drool on your keyboard.

Watch This MV When ...

I know you've seen "Rokkugo" by Super Junior-T. How could you not? It's ridiculously cracktastic overload.

I hate this video and song so much. It drives me insane, repeating "Rokkugo" over and over in my head when I really do not want it in there in the first place. There are a few times in life when I know I have to watch this MV and listen to the song.

1. Whenever I feel angry towards someone else, I watch it to make me laugh hysterically.
2. Whenever I feel down, I watch it to make me laugh hysterically.
3. Whenever I am in need of a pick-me-up, I watch it to make me laugh hysterically.
4. Whenever I am bored, I watch it to make me laugh hysterically.
5. Whenever I feel like laughing hysterically, I watch it to make me laugh hysterically.

And it's amazing how I do not cry when I see how ridiculous they all look, at the overdose of cheese factor surrounding the whole thing.

"Rokkugo" is the result of Leeteuk, Heechul, Kangin, Shindong, Eunhyuk, and Sungmin all high on crack and with a video camera.

I bet if every single person on the planet watched this MV once a daily, like a vitamin, there'd be a lot less anger, hate, and sadness in the world. Instead, there'd be millions of tears from laughing so hard.
