IT'S DEMO TIME FOLKS

Phrased Differently

As with IGAB, the the demo version is more cohesive... but it doesn't make that much of a difference to me, track's a nice jam.

to be perfectly honest, I prefer f(x)'s version, idk, maybe it's because f(x)'s vocals aren't so in your face and there's these smooth parts which I really like in the track the girls put out
(I also can't imagine the girls singing lyrics like these xD)

[jaeslurpy.livejournal.com]

after hearing this i have to say i prefer the f(x) version a lot more.

[ridzithenerd.livejournal.com]

song is a jam regardless, but f(x)'s version sounds better

[frantastic.livejournal.com]

hmmmmmmm, i like f(x)'s version better! This one drags a bit too much, especially on the chorus

y'all are crazy and make me doubt the efficiency of your ears

I don't doubt that some people genuinely like the song, but others are just obviously biased because it's f(x) tbh.
Like other person said, if this was a 2NE1/any other group song the comments would be pretty different.

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

Funny you mention 2NE1 bc when I was listening to these English lyrics I could see a similar type of song from them. The kind of bravado/in your face lyrics made me think of "Crush," which is probably why I like this demo.

[blackstarnebula.livejournal.com]

yeah, it reminds me of 2NE1. They could rock a song like this

ikr, lol

[hitthoselightz.livejournal.com]

both versions are good but i prefer fxs vocals

[toshi830.livejournal.com]

I prefer f(x)'s vocals and honestly the lyrics when I understand them suck ass

[punkylana.livejournal.com]

i like f(x) version more

[velvetpocket.livejournal.com]

Although it does transition better, I enjoy f(x)'s soft voices at certain parts much more, and even though this is more cohesive, I would not listen to it again, because it sounds more like all the other songs out there. f(x)'s version has that little bit extra that makes it stand out more. And makes me want to listen to it over, and over, and over again.

[toast-is-burnin.livejournal.com]

yes! That's the major difference between the two, I miss the harmonies that f(x) has in this sound, makes it sound a little flat to me tbh.

[empyrealmaiden.livejournal.com]

Honestly, f(x)'s version has really grown on me. That said, I still don't think having a more cohesive chorus would have hurt the song.

[goldenrosalie.livejournal.com]

ummmmm when i listened to demo for the first time i almost cried because it was so damn bad. fx's version has its problems and some parts desperately need to be cut off but the beat is great and demo version just hurts my ears. also... lyrics. fx's version is very interesting and works well with their comeback concept. so i really appreciate the effort.
i actually think that whoever re-worked this demo should get an extra paycheck for his/her hard work to make a decent song out of it.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

I like the demo more /kanyeshrug

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

both are mess, praying for your ears people

[iglossmyeyes.livejournal.com]

this is much better

other than chorus, i'm not really into f(x) soft vocals. their versions (like hot summer omg original is 1000000 times better) seems washed out

[mintychocolat.livejournal.com]

Even though f(x)'s version is more disjointed, I still like it much better than this version. I feel like this version is too much, especially in the last minute, I feel like me ears are being assaulted. :S

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

i like f(x) better just bcs of the higher pitched voices. this sounds like nicki minaj

[hellodee16.livejournal.com]

I still don't like the song much
but I guess I like this one a little better if I had to choose.

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

i like this version better. i dig f(x)'s vocals, but i hate the chorus part. it just sounds so jagged compared to the flow of the song, so flow wise, i like this version better. i can't wait to go watch their live!

[ov3rs3as.livejournal.com]

true the flow is better here

[dreamerbri.livejournal.com]

ia. i don't like the chorus in f(x)'s version.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I prefer's f(x)'s way of singing the verses but this gets a plus for not having a disjointed chorus

[cosmopudin.livejournal.com]

your icon<3

[mya13.livejournal.com]

this version is actually bearable but still a mess.

[hitsujiga.livejournal.com]

fx chorus needs to die. and in this version the lyrics need to die.
i guess musically this version is more cohesive but damn i actually like fx soft touch to it lol /helpless stan

[frequency.livejournal.com]

i like this one better tbh

[thomaswilmoore.livejournal.com]

Those lyrics are nice, I just prefer f(x)'s version because of the video and everything.

edit: on a second listen, actually f(x)'s chorus is nicer. This one is just too repetitive.
Just noticed Maegan Cottone is the producer of Little Mix's Salute, and that's also a jam.

[blackstarnebula.livejournal.com]

still a mess of a song but not as awful as FX's.

[mundanetuna.livejournal.com]

definitely better imo, but I understand why this version would have not have matched f(x)'s musical style, so I guess the changes were for the better.

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

this is definitely better
f(x)'s version sounds more like a chant than a song


tbh both songs are awful, this one is just less bad

[dharawal.livejournal.com]

Yep, I just see KBS approving for broadcast a song that advises a boy to keep it in his pants, if they got pissy over caterpillar.

That being said, I prefer f(x)s version, it's not as jarring.

[engraved-16.livejournal.com]

I really prefer this version more :) i guess they realised that they needed a proper 'hook' chorus if they wanted this as their title track. Which must be why i dont like f(x)'s version so much, since the chorus feels out of place to me.

That being said this song is awesome but it doesn't translate so well being performed live, so im still confused as to why they chose it as f(x)'s title track.

[eesor.livejournal.com]

still like fx's version more. and if people doubt my genuine like for red light.../rolls eyes/ sorry for having such taste (not sorry)

[mollyana.livejournal.com]

lmao, this lyrics are more fun, transitions are more appealing to hear and the beat is more consistent.The problem with f(x) version for me is the chorus, they make the song less cohesive and forgettable.

[guitarchic11292.livejournal.com]

jfc these lyrics suck

this is why it's easier for me to get into a song that's not in english
