279. cowboys, casanovas and genies

carrie underwood's "cowboy casanova" is like a gwen stefani song, just that it's more oldhouse. but it's normal enough, nothing really interesting about it. i was hoping with an interesting alliterated title, it would have weird, funky lyrics, something like shania twain's "that don't impress me much". play it safe, well ok.

result: 4.5/5


well, with excess time from no motivation to study ihc, i decided to listen to some korean pop. listening through g-dragon's "heartbreaker", 4minute's "muzik", and snsd's "gee", i feel that those songs sound more act cute/cool, which is like no way would i listen on.

so then i remembered snsd's "genie", which comparatively, sounds more mature, other than the front part, and the redundant "d.j, put it back on" part. the beats are softer and not that eurodance, so it sounds professional. but then the mv is like no relation, other than when they sit in the lamp. why would they wear military suits to perform a song about genies and wishes? and even if they wanted to dance in military suit, they should have chose a place which is more military like, and not a purple stage. so the video of them dancing on the helipad would make a better mv. they would be better off putting belly dancing or arabian dance into pop songs. but i still dislike 9 people squeezing in a picture dressing like female gundam characters.

result: 5/5
