BIGBANG Fans Notice Similarities Between Doddy’s New MV And “Good Boy” Choreo

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

Hip-hop artist Doddy has a new release through Romanian record label Cat Music entitled “Figura” featuring Shift.

BIGBANG fans have noticed that the choreography for Doddy’s music video feels vaguely familiar or even strikingly familiar to unit group GD x Taeyang’s choreography for “Good Boy.”

There are definitely a few signature moves that are common to both music videos.

Compare Doddy’s music video for “Figura” with G-Dragon and Taeyang’s video for “Good Boy” yourself. Do you think the similarities are mere coincidence or something more?

I recommend to compare it with the MV and not the dance practice because there is more similarities than the dance. I totally think they got "inspired" but the "Good Boy" MV. Discuss!

[hyungmoney.livejournal.com]

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

[dull-and-wicked.livejournal.com]

lol mte

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

well it's not the song but the dance/MV, not sure if that's better lol

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

figura
temperatura
partitura (idk the spelling)

it reminds me of iglesias and his situation/nation/motivation/reputation haha

and yeah it's pretty obvious

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

OMG.
I didn't come to omona for this!
The Romanian bad attempt at pop follows me even here!
I almost wanted to facepalm when I noticed the similarities.
I'm annoyed, because we have some good choreographers, ok? Why do this? :'(



Jk. We have acceptable 'boybands' too. Those guys are pretty new.

[carra-mia.livejournal.com]

I still can't forget that Romania served us, here in Poland quite popular for some time, Akcent - my15yo self was truly wtf when Kylie was played like everywhere lol

[violoncelliste.livejournal.com]

omggggg i totally forgot about that song. i didn't know they were from Romania! back then everything in english was from america for me lol (also i thought you were talking our Akcent and was incredibly confused)

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Oh, wow! I didn't know they were that popular.
The only band I heard a lot of people from other countries talk about was O-Zone because of their song Dragostea Din Tei (Numa Numa). There were many versions of it - Korean, Vietnamese, English, Chinese etc. (Up to 50 languages!).

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

THANK YOU FOR THIS COMMENT!
I was thinking before about O-Zone's song and I couldn't remember the name of the group or the song. I need to listen to it again right now! The memories are coming to me!



I don't think I know more songs from Romania but I do know this one for sure lol

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

is this gonna turn into a throwback thread to when romanian music was still good?
i think stuff like morandi and inna might have been popular outside. OH and tornero!! i would hear this song on greek radio even a few years after it came out

[fabulousdoll.livejournal.com]

You can make this post turn in everything you want ;) hahahahaha

I obviously know Inna but I don't know who is morani or that tornero song :( but that type of music is making me travel through time lol

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Morandi was a duo, but now they're not active as a group anymore. At first many people didn't even know they were from Romania.



Also, some honorable mentions are Angels (Love is the answer) and Beijo Uh La La.

Was Romanian music ever good? lol Maybe back in the day when 3SE was THE group to stan.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

It was good, when we were like 7..

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Oh, please. 3SE is still good. ;_; At least I still like them (Fan for 15+ years soo...).
Romania used to have good music. Maybe there were songs with stupid lyrics or some that made no sense, but they were catchy at least.

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

The only 3SE song I like from the past 5-6-7 years is the one they did with Inna last year. That had everything: a good story/message, a nice melody to go with it, and a proper MV. Other than that I either didn't pay attention to or actually didn't like. Romania mainly does easy and catchy music with cringy lyrics and equally cringy MVs. The only mainstream songs that are actually good are coming from artists from Moldova or from the indie/alternative scene. I admit that I noticed some improvements here and there, but this Doddy individual and that boygroup that was posted in another comment are signs that there's still a long way to go.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

I really liked Tic Tac and Adio from their latest releases.
Yeah, one of the main problems with the songs are the lyrics. Some have really catchy and nice instrumental, but then you hear the lyrics...
I can't really say anything about the mainstream songs. I mainly listen to Romanian Hip Hop, folk, traditional music (and songs for drinking - I don't even know how to translate this in English without making it sound weird/bad) and (much) older songs (like before the 2000s).

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I really liked Tic Tac and Adio from their latest releases.
I'm gonna check them out. I don't think I've listened to them yet.

and songs for drinking - I don't even know how to translate this in English without making it sound weird/bad
Any song can be a drinking song if you're drunk enough :D

Generally, I kinda stopped listening to Romanian music many years ago (by this I mean actually having Romanian songs in my computer/playlists and playing them over and over again). I listen to a lot of songs mainly out of curiosity to see what else is there but I mostly don't play them again.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

:))) I know, but these songs are like...



Mainly made for parties and fit for our traditional dances.

Nowadays, I rarely find a good song to listen to from those that are played on the radio. I mainly follow Carla's Dreams (who's not really from Romania, but promotes here and sings in our language) and a few select others.
Lately, I've been obsessed with Mario Joy - California.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

So you like lautareasca? I have no idea what kind of traditional dance this songs require, tho :D And well, Carla's Dream is from Moldova and I guess that's basically same shit

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

I like it at parties. It's pretty fun. :3
The main (usual) steps on this kind of song are something like this (around 1:00 - the circle).

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

Oh, hore, I see. It didn't cross my mind, I forgot about them. Never liked this shit anyway :D

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Yeah, you could have said manele/muzica lautareasca. Is there a traditional dance for this? I mean I know bellydancing is a thing but that's definitely not traditional for us. Anyway, I don't listen to that or anything in or around that genre. I think it's crap, but oh well. That's just my opinion. Carla's Dream is who I meant by artists from Moldova in a previous comment. I'm also from Romania in case it wasn't clear before.

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

:)) I was a bit confused, but managed to create the connection.
Well, I think there's a bit of a difference between manele and lautareasca. Manele is closer to bellydance music while lautareasca is closer to populara/traditional music.
Dance? I mainly noticed as a "choreo" for this - hora (min 1:00).

[kaninasan.livejournal.com]

yesssss Tornero!!! I loved it so much

[konichiwacobra.livejournal.com]

That whole album was awesome tbh.

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

omg i totally forgot about this song! i was the biggest akcent fangirl as a kid shit now i can understand the lyrics what is this lmaooo "i'd rather do you on the backseat of my car" KDFJGFG i gotta go down memory lane right now

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

I wanted to post this here when it first came out but I thought no one would be interested and we don't need this embarrassment but now...

Damn that's one cringy MV and the lyrics are just bleaah

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

idk what theyre singing about but it sounds like a bop

[dbsk-2pm.livejournal.com]

Haha, I can try to translate it if you want. :3 They're mainly talking about how sexy a girl looks when she bites her lower lip and how much they want to steal her kiss (but they're not thieves).

[angela-derp-otp.livejournal.com]

THAT REGGAETON THO WHY ROMANIA WHY

[pero, like (from livejournal.com)]

yep, completely ignored the dance and heard "that reggaeton" and was like ?????

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

It's actually "de reggaeton" which translates to "of reggaeton". They were talking about how the girl moves to "the rhythm of reggaeton."

[mc1a.livejournal.com]

Romania keeps staying embarrassing. Could those dancers look more dead? Did they even wanna be there? I can't even watch the whole video. The lyrics are killing me tho.

The chorus roughly translates to

"Whoa, what an appearance
She's hot but she doesn't have a fever
But the way she moves to the 'sound/rhythm' of reggaeton
Whoa of reggaeton, whoa of reggaeton"
They say a lot of "mama" which is "mom," but in this context is more of like a wow factor because they are impressed by the girl.

[ms-minniemaus.livejournal.com]

When I first read the title I was like not again with the plagiarism shit, but this one is sooo obvious. Romania, sit down, you're embarrassing me

WAT A BOP
