The song is sooooo good~ The MV is awkward but mostly because proper lip syncing and YG MVs do not go together, apparently? I don't like the blue contacts either :(
Looks really stiff, but her voice and this song totally makes up for it. I like that fierce little break down starting at 1:04 though. Still mad she didn't win Kpop star tbh.
i love the song- it's pretty much perfect for her style and voice. i find her stiffness/awkwardness kinda adorable though, lol! and i guess the YG girls just has a thing about lipsynching... though i would love to see YG putting Hayi and Bom together: major awkward fest on stage. lol!
Watching Hayi x Bom on stage would be like watching a puppy slowly dying... I found it hard enough to watch Bom's You and I performances, I felt so sorry for my baby :'(
omgomgomg everything is beautiful and nothing hurts regarding the song <3 The MV on the other hand, isn't that great. The sets are lovely, I liked how they styled her for the most part, but she's just so stiff and expressionless, it's like she doesn't even want to be there. I know she'll kill it in performances, but I'm hoping her next MV is a lot more looser and she's more energetic. Her lipsyncing also needs a lot of improvement - honestly, I don't get why YG does such a half-assed job at teaching all their female idols to do it right - it comes across as unprofessional and ignorant.
i agree: love the mv visually, wish they had gotten the physical movements and lip syncing at least up to par. i think the choreo in performances should really help for her next mv, it looks like she just doesn't know how to pull off dancing naturally. hopefully she watches herself on film and improves! (i think she only did photoshoots with Epik High, so no video there...)
she is pretty but it was kinda hard to watch when she is soo stiff through out the whole MV,and i like the song cant wait to see her develop more attitude and groove. cant wait too hear more from her.
Of course she's awkward; she hasn't been trained to be an idol since she was 5. She's natural, and thats just what kpop needs. lbr, kpop the past two years has been all about money and nothing about music.
amazing song, flawless voice, & she's very pretty. hated the music video though.. mainly because it was (as everyone else is saying) awkward. she's so stiff & lifeless. probably nerves but w/e that mv was rly hard to watch. will definitely be downloading the song tho~
she's always been a little awkward on camera, it's endearing :3 i absolutely love her voice and the song fits her like a glove!
but... i went on to re-watch her kpop star videos, ended up in her rendition of 'for you', which led me to watch jaejoong's version, and then i found myself watching bolero and love in the ice and asuwa kuru kara and proud and T___T fml.
I like the song but the MV...Half the time she looks like a 13 year old trying to pass for a 20. I get that she's still awkward in front of the cam but for the love of God gurl, take that stick out of your a**. They had months to teach her the basics, wth were they doing.
i was worried about park jimin for that reason and i don't think it got too crazy (idk if i am recalling correctly though...). jimin is slimmer now than she was on the show but she still looks very different from idol groups
She's had quite a bit of time and even experience on stage with kpop star. I just don't think she's comfortable with or about the style that everyone is used to in k-pop from women. Over the top "charismatic" pandering. Even when you see her in interviews her attitude is really lax. They even picked on her on the show about it, saying her personality seemed distant and sleepy, but if that's how she is she shouldn't have to force herself to be anything other than that.
In any case, her voice is amazing, the song is great and maybe her stand out talent with over shadow how "awkward" people think she is and maybe some people might even find it endearing since it's a sincere personality trait.
