The Boys of Big Bang


So I just got finished watching the music video for Big Bang's new single "Tell Me Goodbye" from the IRIS Japanese OST (yep that's the same pic from allkpop.com, lol) and I have to say that.....I like :) It's really good, but honestly do you know how long it took me to realize that the first verse was in English. Well it didn't take that long really, but anything over not realizing it immediately is enough to make me wonder about myself. It wasn't until the end of the song that I realized they were saying the sound title "Tell Me Goodbye" in English. I know. Slow, right? But in my defense it's not everyday that I hear Korean artists song in English, and well. That's something I can always count on Big Bang for. Their English is really good. The best I've heard from any K-pop artist who wasn't born in and/or lived in an English speaking country for any number of years. It makes me wonder sometimes if they are actually fluent, like how well would they fare in conversation if someone randomly came up to them one day and started speaking in English.

Their Japanese on the order hand.....it sounds funny. Honestly, though! Like I have the right to say someone's Japanese sounds funny. I don't know Japanese....yet. If life goes according to plan (which it never does), I'll hopefully be taking it in Spring semester...hopefully. But comparing them to native speakers I've heard, I can heard their cute little Korean accents in their Japanese pronunciation like I do in English. But again their English is the best. And they don't even used proper speech. The way they talk is very vernacular....almost....heck, it's just straight up hood. They'd fit right in, here in the south. More than me even, but then again I know how to adapted to my surroundings. I can turn my "AAE" (African-American Ebonics) on and off depending on who my audience is. Like Sunday for explain surrounded by a whole bunch of kin folk. Oh no. You better believe I wasn't watchin my words in that atmosphere. But, I digress. Back to Big Bang.

I like the way the members looked.

G-Dragon seems to be stepping back to the normal side, kinda. I really liked his hair in this video and I don't know why.

TOP looked down right sexy. Don't ask. I just don't know myself right now. Normally I don't go for guys who smoke, but there's always an exception to every rule. And notice the little red streaks in his hair when you watch (if you haven't already). Aren't they cute?

Taeyang is sporting that little mohawk thingy, as always. Personally, I think he would look better without it cause it doesn't do much, but just make his head look pointy. It doesn't matter, I suppose. He still has a good voice. That's all I really look for. I don't expect much eye candy from him.

Seungri is interesting in my opinion. I know he looks good. I know it, but all I ever see when I look at him is ok. He's ok (boy if anyone ever actually read my blog, I'd probably get serious flames for that comment). He kept himself together in this video though. He did his thing with the rest of the members and that's really what counts.

Daesung looked really good and let me just say I'm proud of him for that. I normally only remember him as the guy who just can't seem to open his eyes. Don't think that's racist or anything. It comes from a misunderstanding I had while watching Big Bang on Intimate Note. Anyway, he was playing up the sex and I saw it. And I could really hear the power of his voice in this song, which really adds to the sex appeal.

But hey don't take my word for any of this stuff. Good check it out for yourself and if you already have. Check it out again. Yea, its that good :)
