Bad Boys, Let Me Be Your Good Girl

Papa YG must be extremely happy in his home life lately to give us two new music videos from BIGBANG in one week. This coming from the man who likes to troll us fangirls and fanboys and smack us right back into our place.

"Bad Boy" is amazing. Simply put.


I really love the beat of the song. It's very different from any other, not only K-Pop song, but also for BIGBANG. You can't help but dance when you listen to it, whether you're dancing well or like a fool, it just has this great flow to it. I love the raps in it, I love the vocals. It's just perfect from beginning to end.


I fell in love with this song when the teaser came out for it, with G-Dragon in the studio just chilling and just being his cocky-self. 

So when the video came out I knew that I was going to love it. I tried my best to hold off judgement of what they were wearing when the behind the scenes paparazzi-esque video came out (that lasted two seconds before I took to Twitter), but I was waiting to see what it all looked like pieced together in the video.


And surprisingly, no real complaints ... obviously aside from GD's Marilyn Manson hair, Taeyang's spray painted polka dot jeans and ugly ass hobo hat ... no complaints.

There's my bb. There he is, leaning up against that corner, looking like a true New Yorker bad boy street thug, with that one-third aviator, one-third boy scout, and one-third muppet jacket. You lookin' good, GD. 

In all seriousness, when they featured GD on the left side of his face, I went batshit crazy over how flawless he really is. Whenever the wind blew and let that ... thing be seen on camera, then it was like someone threw me off the Titanic and into the ocean and it kind of killed it for me. So for the rest of this post, we will forget about the comb-over abomination that is weaved into GD's scalp and only focus on the left side.


One thing I did have a problem with is that the girls in the video were super boring and showed zero emotion. Like, if you really don't want this guy who is singing that he's sorry he's a bad boy hanging all over you, you're not going to just shrug your shoulders to get him off you. No, you're going to look pissed, you're going to storm off, you're going to possibly take out the pepper spray in your purse and use it on him if he doesn't get the hint. 

Not that I advocate pepper spraying Daesung in the face, but you get the point. 


Papa YG, so glad that you got more than one girl for the group this time around (unlike "Blue" and every other BIGBANG video before it) but next video can we please work on not having zombie models in your video? Throw in some eye rolls, some looks of disgust, some head turning or SOMETHING other than a lame half-hearted push.


By the way, I see Tae-Tae likes them young. (Good thing I'm younger than him ... by two months).

GIRL FROM THE "BLUE" VIDEO. DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE PUSHING AWAY FROM YOU?! So unworthy to be in that fine man's presence.

DO YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE WALKING AWAY FROM, MOTORCYCLE PATCHWORK JEANS GIRL? YOU ARE WALKING AWAY FROM THE OFFICIAL PIMP T.O.P, AND THAT IS A NAME THAT HE GAVE HIMSELF BECAUSE IT'S THE TRUTH. IF T.O.P WITH BLUE HAIR OR RED HAIR OR FUCK EVEN IF HE IS BALD, WANTS YOU, YOU GROVEL AT HIS FEET AND SAY THANK YOU AND FEEL BLESSED THAT HE IS EVEN LETTING YOU BREATHE THE SAME AIR AS HIM. YOU DO NOT WALK AWAY FROM THIS PERFECT MAN.

Flawless.


I have a feeling I will fangirl attack him during their world tour. 

Seungri looks really awesome, once again. I am loving this look on him and I firmly believe it needs to stay. He really came into his own these past two videos and I am super excited about  what he will have to offer in the future. 

And does anyone else think Taeyang would look hot with a tattoo? Not to Jay Park extremes, but like maybe one on his back or like on the side of his rib cage? Mmmm.

I'm Definitely Not Singing the Blues

They're baaaaaaack!!


Aren't you all totally excited for the long awaited comeback of the one and only, gloriously sexy and amazingly talented, BIGBANG? 


EXCITED DOES NOT EVEN BEGIN TO EMPHASIZE WHAT I AM FEELING AND HOW I FELT AFTER WATCHING THEIR NEW VIDEO.


I will admit, like majority of you ... I was put off and somewhat angry at their "concept," or whatever the hell that emo-mess is that G-Dragon is calling hair (totally different subject matter that I will get to later in the post). But I've watched "Blue" about fifty times already, and it is just flawless and it makes me do a little dance in this chair as I type up this post. There will be giddiness and spazzing, as a forewarning, so if you ... say, I don't know ... dislike BIGBANG ... then you probably shouldn't read further because everything I say will be obnoxious from here on out.


The song is essentially about a really bad break up and the depression you feel after it, feeling like you'll never love again, you're destined to be alone and that your heart is "dyed blue" from sadness. During T.O.P's part, he says (according to the subs I found which can only be reliable to an extent) "It's no big deal, I don't care. Inevitable wandering, people come and go." For anyone who has had a bad break up, you know there is that point where you lie to yourself in order to make you feel like you're moving on. It's no big deal, I'll find someone else that is better, I don't care about him/her anymore, etc ... It's a simple line, but I really like it because it is part of the "break up cycle" people go through.


I get why the girl "vanishes" throughout the video. They're "blue" with depression over no longer having this girl in their life, and so they "see" her in the most obscure places or places they used to go. When Seungri is in the driver's seat and looks at the empty passenger seat ... we know it's empty, and he knows it's empty, but that longing and pain his heart feels "tricks" his mind into seeing her. It's more of a desperation and somewhat of a haunting aspect of it. You're forever haunted by the love you lost ... that's some really deep meaning to a music video.


I do not, however, understand why they insist on having one girl for the entire group. Would it really kill them to find four other girls, so the group's name doesn't take on a whole new meaning? (Think about it). Papa YG ... ONE GIRL PER MEMBER. And if you're stuck on who to pick for the next video, my contact information is at the top of the page. 


With the style, it's hit and miss for me. Surprisingly, the one that I felt was the most put together and the most "DAMN" worthy ... was actually Seungri. I know! I KNOW! I've never ever said that, but he stole all of my attention. And I have to say ... it's about damn time this man stepped it up. I knew he had in him, but his cockiness and arrogance always covered it up to make him seem like a kid trying too hard. But now? Oh, he's matured and that cockiness turned into confidence.

And it definitely shows. From now on, you are no longer a kid in my eyes, Seungri. You're a man now. Keep it up. (Oh and thank you for finally showing those abs. It took about two years of me complaining, but I'm glad someone else thought it was about damn time).


At first when I heard that Daesung was blonde, I was wary. I do not like any other man besides G-Dragon to be that unnaturally blonde. 

But he actually looks really good for some reason. I think it could have been a little bit darker, more of like a golden blonde, dirty blonde color rather than Valley Girl tanorexic blonde ... but it still suits him very nicely and that was a big risk that thankfully turned out to be the right decision.


T.O.P is just flawless.

This needs no further explanation.


G-Dragon ... for the love of all things holy ... what ... really?

I will take this over The Cure hair any day, but still this is not your best, boo boo. You've had so many looks it's hard for me to pinpoint my absolute favorite. Actually, no ... that is a complete lie. My favorite look was when you went back to black and had it all cockatoo looking at the MAMA awards. You know ... when you split your pants. That's my favorite look. Can we bring that back please? I just don't like that synthetic looking hair clip thing you have as bangs under that hat. Unless that is your real hair, in which case, we need to stop dying it before you go bald. 


And while that ugly ass hat is mentioned, I feel like I need to take a time out from talking about the video to address the horrible trend that is going around. THOSE DAMN HATS ARE STUPID AND IF YOU WEAR IT LIKE THAT, WITH ALL THAT SPACE IN THE FABRIC ON TOP OF YOUR HEAD YOU LOOK LIKE A HOMELESS MAN. STOP LOOKING LIKE A DAMN HOBO AND PULL IT DOWN ALREADY. GD DID THIS, TAE DID THIS, AND APPARENTLY IT'S THE "STYLE" NOW FOR GUYS ALL OVER THE WORLD TO LOOK LIKE A FUCKING BUM. STOP IT. STOP IT NOW. YOU ARE TWO OF THE RICHEST MEN IN SOUTH KOREA, THERE IS NO NEED TO LOOK LIKE YOU SLEPT ON A PARK BENCH WITH A NEWSPAPER BLANKET. CUT IT THE FUCK OUT NOW.


I hate those stupid ass, ugly hats.


Taeyang ... oh, I saved you for last for a reason, boo. You have two looks in this video: amazing and awful.

This is the amazing one. Absolute perfection, no complaints, I would bow down and worship at your feet with this look. 

This monstrosity, on the other hand ... who dressed you? I know this isn't 100% your fault (at least I am hoping it isn't) but what stylist in their right mind looked at this put together and said, "This looks great!" I mean, seriously ... I can't tell if it is zebra print or just abstract shapes on your pants, but a good rule of thumb is if you can't tell what it is, it probably shouldn't be worn, and an ever better rule of thumb is if it is zebra print on a grown man's pants, it should be burned. Seriously, Tae ... my three-year-old niece has zebra leggings and they look like that. That's so bad. 


And I know this isn't your fault, but dude you have to learn to say NO sometimes. Everything else is fine with what you're wearing except those damn pants. I am absolutely positive that if you had switched those pants out with white pants, you'd look amazing. In fact, if you or one of your stylists or anyone who knows you is reading this, put Tae in the same damn outfit with white pants, or hey even a dark denim, and it will be astronomically better than what was worn in the video. That's how strongly I feel about it, if I measure it in astronomical terms. 


That took a little longer than I thought it would ...


Few other quick little things that should have been done in a better way:

1. Tae has acne problems. We all know this. Those pesky little buggers like to stay on that beautiful jaw line. Lighting is so crucial sometimes, and the way the camera was angled, plus the lighting, you can really see the acne bumps and scars on his skin. It should have been caught and either left out of the video or re-filmed if need be. (You might not be able to see it in the above picture, but it is very noticeable in HD when you watch the video).

2. No one should ever let this man run in a music video. Ever.

Seriously, ever.

3. The "pants" that are running in the video belong to the girl, not Seungri. Every time they show the girl, the coloring of the film is different, very grainy too. I don't know why they didn't have Seungri run in the video. Maybe he runs worse than Tae.


One more thing I feel the need to address, as I have not yet fully expressed my thoughts on the subject matter ...


BIGBANG IS HAVING A WORLD TOUR. BIGBANG IS COMING TO AMERICA. I WILL SEE BIGBANG IN PERSON. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD. OH MY GOD.


That means fives things:


1. G-Dragon, black cockatoo hair.
2. Taeyang, fitted hats.
3. Seungri, show your abs.
4. Daesung, smile that beautiful smile.
5. T.O.P, just show up.


I'm coming for you, boys. Get ready.

It's Five O'Clock in the Morning

I don't know why I woke up so suddenly at 4:30 in the morning, but I've been unable to fall back asleep since then. So after laying in bed for thirty minutes, I said screw it and turned on the laptop. And as I logged into YouTube it kindly suggested this amazing new treasure in the form of a boy band that I had never heard of or knew existed.


Once again, my Twitter timeline has neglected to inform me of new badassery in the K-Pop scene (and yes, I just made up a word). I'm deeply upset by this because it has not given me the right amount of split-second time to call dibs on my new favorite of the month. 


Whether or not N.Sonic is truly bad ass or just pretending to be is irrelevant. We all know groups have to earn their bad ass stripes in this business, and sometimes a single member can surpass his group mates and be the sole focus of my undying love and devotion until someone else with equal and/or slightly more bad ass value comes along to be my new little pet that likes to bite.


BUT CAN YOU GUESS WHO MY FAVORITE IS? HUH? HUH? CAN YA? CAN YA?

The choice is obvious if you know me. Black J -- which I have to say is the one of the most bad ass stage names shrouded in mystery I have ever heard -- has captivated me. And if you don't know who he is, he's the one with the tattoo in the video (or the one on the far right). HE SEALED THE TKPA DEAL WITH THE TATT, OKAY?? Don't judge me.


And of course, OF COURSE, he has to be the maknae. What is it lately with these young guys coming in and claiming my attention and precious blog space? If this is a sign that I am getting old, oh please make it stop.


AND HE'S A RAPPER. OH SWEET MOTHER OF THE K-POP GODS WHY DO YOU DO THIS TO ME. 

From left to right we have, Black J, Eunho, J.Heart, Jonguk, and Byeol. They're quite delicious, aren't they?


The song "Super Boy" is really good for a debut song. Can they do better? Oh, yes, absolutely. It's nowhere near comparable to the half-boxing, half-puppy debut that Dalmatian had, but at the same time, in my highly biased opinion, it's still not even close to the likes of BEAST and MBLAQ's debuts. The overall style is really good, nothing atrocious to make us all go WTF?!


And N.Sonic scores some brownie points for going shirtless and dancing in the overhead sprinklers. I think someone must have been paying attention when I said FOREVER AGO that a fantastic and sure fire way to make a music video go from great to "oh-my-God-that-was-un-fucking-believable-oppa-have-my-babies" is flesh and water. 


Check out the video that's apparently been around since October from a group that my readers and Twitter followers totally "neglected" to tell me about. I know what happened. You took one look at Black J and thought, "Rapper. Tattoo. Hot. Bad Ass Potential. MINE." I don't blame you, though ... I would have done the same.


Watch "Super Boy" by N.Sonic and get used to these rookies because I'm near obsession.

MLBAQ's Blood, Sweat, Tears, and Oozing Hotness

Hello my lovely readers and/or followers! Hope you all had fantastic Holidays and I hope your New Year was amazing and that you're enjoying 2012 thus far ... also known as the last year of our lives ... just kidding.

Only MBLAQ can make me come out of my relaxation state on my day off to sit in an uncomfy chair and spazz relentlessly about them. And it's been so long since a proper MBLAQ spazzing has taken place that I feel a tad bit rusty, so if at any point it turns into straight out incoherent statements, I trust that those who speak "fangirl/fanboy" can interpret it into logical thoughts.

I have come to the conclusion that Joon likes guns.

He likes big guns.

Blueprints of them, even, so he can disassemble and then reassemble at his pleasing.

He spends so much time with his guns that he watches any movie where guns are the focal point. He saw Wanted in theaters thirty-seven times, partly because he wanted to learn how to curve a bullet, but mostly because he liked the soothing sound of Morgan Freeman's voice. All that studying and popcorn inhaling came to good use once he learned how to curve that bullet, though.

He likes to hoard his guns in a junkyard so no one will find him, because who in their right mind voluntarily goes to a junkyard?

Except for Thunder, who lives there as a care-taker, which in my opinion has to be the worst job ever.

And he also sleeps in a van.

Going out on a limb here, but I'm pretty sure Thunder has a certain ... aroma of the not pleasant variety.

The awkward moment when the girl you were going to kill has fallen for the less hot, non-weapon-carrying so-called, backstabbing best friend you've entrusted to take care of the target, who, looking back on it now, you've should have just pulled the trigger.

The dramatic portion of the video is basically Joon is going to assassinate this girl. Why? Who the fuck knows? Maybe she is late on paying her Macy's credit card bill, and you know sometimes those bill collectors can be a little hasty. But then he sees someone else wants to kill her and it's like OH HALE NO, so he rescues her and then takes her to THE MIDDLE OF A JUNKYARD TO RECOVER AFTER BEING SHOT. Seriously, I could not think of a more sanitary place than a junkyard.

And then, he leaves to play with his guns, and upon returning, he realizes that the girl he was going to originally kill has fallen for Thunder. He gives major bitchface, more bitchy than Joon has ever given (bravo, bb, bravo!), and then pulls her outside. Thunder and Joon get into a fight, Joon pulls a gun out on them ... and then after this I get like ... huh?

Does Joon purposely try to kill himself by curving the bullet around them to come back like a boomerang? It really had to be that dramatic? And then when he dies, they pull out what I think are plane tickets ... so why couldn't you just say "HEY, BRO, I'm taking her away so she'll be safe!" Then you wouldn't have had to die and Thunder would be all "Cool, bro, call me when you land, and please resist the urge to kill her during your travels."

JOON'S DEATH WAS UNNECESSARY TO THE PLOT. IT COULD HAVE ENDED PEACEFULLY.

Also the girl choosing Thunder over Joon is completely unrealistic. I mean, why would you choose Thunder, someone who quite possibly smells and can only offer you the tallest compost pile on the lot, versus Joon, a sexy gun-toting bad ass who fell under your spell and wants to whisk you away for a thrilling life on the run? Yes, in reality I'm positive Thunder smells a heck of a lot better than Joon's unhygenic ass, but we are not talking about reality. We're talking about entertainment. And I want to see Joon not dead at the end of my music video watching experience.

Oh and you think this post is over ... but we still have three other members who weren't included in the dramatic plot. What's up with that? (I blame it on Rain being in the army).

OH MY BEAUTIFUL SEUNGHO. PLEASE NEVER EVER CHANGE. YOUR LIPS. YOUR HAIR -- NOT QUITE WHAT I AM USED TO ON YOU BUT STILL PERFECTION AT ITS VERY DEFINITION. I CAN EVEN HANDLE THE COLOR BECAUSE IT ISN'T THAT AWFUL BLONDE, IT IS A REAL COLOR FOUND IN NATURE. AND WHEN YOU CRY ... OH DEAR LORD WHEN YOU CRY I JUST WANT TO KISS THOSE PINK STARBURST JUICY LIPS AND TELL YOU IT WILL ALL BE OKAY AND BLOT THOSE TEARS AWAY WITH A TISSUE.

NEVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER. EVER CHANGE.

MIR YOU ARE ALL GROWN UP AND ANGRY AND SEXY AND I JUST WANT TO MAKE TIGER NOISES AND PAW AT YOU ALL SEXILY BECAUSE YOU ARE JUST ON A WHOLE NEW LEVEL AND I FUCKING LOVE WHOEVER STYLED YOU. FLAWLESS AND YOU HAVE NEVER LOOKED BETTER.

AND OF COURSE A SPAZZ FEST WOULD NOT BE COMPLETE WITHOUT SOME G.O ACTION. THOUGH I MISS YOUR MUSTACHE, YOU STILL LOOK HELLA FINE WITHOUT IT AND DEAR LORD YOU JUST OOZE HOTNESS. EVERYTHING YOU DO IS AMAZING AND PERFECT AND I LOVE YOU.

Since I already talked so much about Thunder and Joon at the beginning of this post, all I will say is this:

Thunder looks so much more ... complete with eye-liner. Let's not push it to "I'll Be Back" proportions, but a little goes a long way.

I have never seen Joon more flawless in any video. Seriously, he is in the top five of the most gorgeous K-Pop idols.

I would say to check out their new video if you haven't yet, but who would I be kidding?

REWATCH AGAIN AND AGAIN THE NEW MLBAQ VIDEO!
