Confessions on EXO's MAMA

Tracklist:

1. MAMA
2. What Is Love
3. HISTORY
4. ANGEL
5. TWO MOONS
6. MACHINE

Okay I must confess that I have a love-hate relationship with EXO. It's as though SM is putting so much effort into making everyone like them that I get fed up whenever someone goes off about how brilliant they are. My guess is that their concept is something like interrestrial gods but they just seem too perfect to be liked by me. I'm more of a Nu'est / BAP girl, but EXO just hasn't won it for me yet. I don't see them as real human beings who can enjoy themselves very much on stage.

Alright let's start from the beginning. I actually found the introduction really stupid. Even with all it's epicness, I couldn't bloody understand the story which made me conclude that all the EXO members came from a tree with special powers, but MAMA punished them and despised their 'gifts'. This explains why the keep chanting "MAMA"... right? Either way, screw the narrator and his dodgy English. IT DOESN'T EVEN MAKE SENSE!

But uhhh.. I found the visual effects very sexy.

  

 

 

 

 

 

SM should be given an award for mixing chorals, death metal, rap and pop in one song. It's really.. wow fantastic baby.

They only thing that really put me off was the rapping bit. yeah, this bit:

  

I mean seriously, SM, you make them look like retards. Hot retards, but retards nonetheless!

Going back to the whole album, it's pretty sound. I love listening to Machine and Angel, it's just Two Moons which bring the whole album down. It might just be my personal taste, but I really don't fancy the rapping.

Overall, it's a good start for EXO. It might be possible for them to win during their debut, but I think it will take a while before I start to bother learning all their names.

I believe it's fate!

Just casually walking around the school grounds and came across THIS:

And me being me thinks THIS:

FUCK YEAH ITS SHINEE!

Listening to: EXO-K - Angel

Song Battle: 4minute's Volume Up vs SISTAR's Alone

vs

PUMP UP THE VOLUME UP UP vs WITHOUT YOU I'M FALLING DOWN

1. Get On The Floor
2. Volume Up
3. I’m OK
4. Say My Name
5. Femme Fatale
6. Dream Racer
7. Black Cat

SISTAR - Alone Tracklist:
1. Come Close
2. Alone
3. No Mercy
4. Lead Me
5. Girls on Top
6. I choose to Love You
7. Alone (ins.)

Wow, the k-pop stage is seriously awesome at the moment! I mean, we have EXO, Sistar, Shinhwa, SHINee, B1A4, BtoB, CNBLUE, NU'EST, 4minute, Nell and so many more; what a great time to go to Korea!

Okay to begin with, let me just say that I seriously loved Volume Up a billion times more than Alone. It was just visually amazing, giving similar vibes to Miss A's Touch. I love the wardrobe department and the whole vampiric-goddess-angel-demon concept of it all. Although 90% of it was Hyuna and there are substantial amounts of high ear-piercing screaming (gratitude to Jiyoon), it is seriously adictive and something haunting about it all; I just freaking love it!

  

There isn't really any distinctive choreo in htis besides this lesbian moment:



I can't even put my feelings of this into words..

Anywho, I felt that Jihyun really stood out to me for the first time. She is so pretty in this!
And Sohyun's long hair was UH-mazing!

 

The only bits which I didn't like was Hyuna's fast-talking / rapping sections. It just deflated the whole gist of the song. But Jiyoon really deserves a medal for all her screaming; really commendable!

Okay let's talk about Alone. All honest truth, I instantly hated it. It was all Hyorin which made me think why does Dasom bother carrying a mic??  But in saying that, after the first 5 seconds, I felt like was watching porn or something really inappropriate. My first thoughts was that their concept were 'hookers', which would have been incredibly awkward, but would explain the choreo. Get the picture?

 
 

I bet the sexy leg lifts are going to be a popular K-pop move now =.="



This song is slowly growing on me, but the biased me prefers 4minute. Mind you, I cringe at every live performances of Alone, solely because I fear one of them will break their leg or something whilst doing that move up there ^

Very wobbly..
