A part of me is hoping his outfits get even sexier for the SFS stages. ;)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093680832174768347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546611158032673480.post-10051094898750930072012-07-13T08:39:02.462-04:002012-07-13T08:39:02.462-04:00Linus - I hear you with the overload of Eunhyuk lo...Linus - I hear you with the overload of Eunhyuk love. It's like out of nowhere homeboy is stealing all the glory. I'm not complaining per say, but it's not quite as fair to say, Shindong, who can dance just as excitingly, or even Yesung who can sing circles around just about all of them.Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14093680832174768347noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546611158032673480.post-39495260084926100222012-07-13T08:36:54.599-04:002012-07-13T08:36:54.599-04:00Anon - I heart you.

Never gets any real parts and always ignored by the camera. He could've taken one (or all) of Eunhuyk's verses! Yeah I'm sorry Mel, but the dude is by far my least favorite. #PleaseDontKillMeLinushttps://twitter.com/OmLinusnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546611158032673480.post-63783410812782940302012-07-13T03:54:11.670-04:002012-07-13T03:54:11.670-04:00(Part 2)
I'm probably in the minority, but I ...(Part 2)<br /><br />I'm probably in the minority, but I love SJ Funky singles. They're ridiculously catchy and perfect for my workouts. I love the cracktastic Engrish and I love the choreo that goes with the song. Honestly, I have had no problem with any of their dance singles (SJ or SJM) from 2008 and onward. And as much SFS cracks me up, it's fun to sing along to. I actually think we gave them too much credit when we all thought they meant "Sexy, free and single. I'm ready to mingle" when we heard bingo. Facepalms, they really were saying Bingo. LMAO. The one lacking thing from 5JIB, was that they didn't promote a ballad single. But their dance singles were so strong (Mr. Simple/Superman, A-Cha, Opera) so I kinda understand why. Storm, Y, and Andante are pretty, but nothing spectacularly special tbh. From 6JIB, I like Daydream and their cover of Someday. I was kinda disappointed Hae didn't contribute composition wise for this album, but I'm hoping when SM releases Ver. C 6JIB (and you know there will be one xD), it'll have a Hae composition. They've already gotten ver B ready, have you see the cover for it yet?! Tracklist is the same, but HOLY HAE ABS. <br /><br />I actually thought Hae's mandarin solo for his SKip Beat OST was notches better than the ballad/slow songs on 5JIB and 6JIB. If you haven't had a chance to listen to it, I suggest listening to "That's Love"/"This is Love" featuring SJM's Henry. Hae really suits the R&B type songs. It's a pity it's unknown within the kpop circle, as it's cpop, but it's a lovely song.<br /><br />On a sentimental note, I'm very proud of Hae. For their live comeback performances he has been surprising me with his voice control. He sang very well, usually by the 2nd stanza, Hae's winded, but he's done very well so far for all the SFS performances. I couldn't be more proud of him. Especially considering how he's doing all this in the middle of drama filming. Poor baby must be exhausted. And I love how they've dressed him so far for the From U performances. Unbuttoned dress shirt + jeans. Unf. A man has never looked so good as Hae does there. Then again, he usually looks hot in whatever they put him in. <br /><br />My thoughts on Kangin's comeback and the lack of hoopla is probably because dude rushed this comeback and he's clearly, really out of shape. In the MV and the stages, he's barely keeping up with the choreo. I give him kudos for the rushed comeback tho. He was only released from the army this March. But, he's a step slower than everyone else (okay, a lot of steps slower) which is probably why SM's hiding him in the back most of the time. Still, it's clear his presence is energizing the boys, because since Heechul left for the army, their numbers have been dwindling, especially with Leeteuk bound for the army soon and Siwon missing comeback stages due to drama commitments. When they performed at SMTownLA this May, only 8 members were there T__T just like SMTownNY. I felt your pain there. I heart Hae bby, but I was looking forward to some chocolate ShiAbs. But charismatic Hae more than made up for Siwon's absence.VforVeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546611158032673480.post-12183126393222329942012-07-13T03:52:20.628-04:002012-07-13T03:52:20.628-04:00(Part 1 of my comment - sorry for the essay xD)
...(Part 1 of my comment - sorry for the essay xD)<br /> <br />As an ELFish, it pleases me greatly the abundance and overload of Donghae goodness in the Sexy, Free & Single MV (*hides a snicker* teeheehee I still can't say that outloud or type that without having a good laugh over the cracktasticness). We finally have a Suju single where Donghae not only gets a crapload of facetime, but he also sings more than one line! And it's not gibberish! He actually gets real lyrics! OMG the novelty. It pains me whenever I watch/listen to Suju singles circa 2008-2011, because of a.) How little screentime Hae gets in this videos b.) his one little line in the 2nd stanzas.<br />Whoever made the decision to spam us with Donghae in SFS, made the right decision. I applaud them. Because did you see that opening minute?! Hae owned it. And then he leads the first "dance break" F-YES. And he gets to sing in both stanzas. Yes. Hell yes. And they had like a total of 6 wardrobe changes. Hae in leather. Yum. <br /><br />I didn't have much expectations for the MV itself. I figured as much they would be dancing in boxes/dancing/solo shots. It's frustrating because they clearly can do the storyline/creative MVs ala No Other and It's You. The Super Junior-M music video for Supergirl was dance-driven but also featured a mini-plot. Donghae and Eunhyuk's MV for Oppa Oppa is completely creative and fun and also featured the boys dancing and a mini story. But I'm not complaining too much. Could have done without the cheesy graphics. WTF was with the matrix shots and the geometic shape? It had no significance or relevance to the rest of the music video. But omgoodness was Hae beautiful. I guess Hae's uptick in screentime meant Shindong's screentime got taken away. I don't think he contributed vocally at all for SFS nor did he lead a dance break. I think he barely made a cameo at the end. <br /><br />Regarding the album. I actually prefer 5JIB (A-Cha ver) in terms of overall quality over 6JIB. Now and Butterfly are fun songs, but I prefer Shake it Up from 4JIB. From U is one of the weaker songs on the album, but I guess the live performance makes up for it. It just sounds redundant. I've heard the same tune before. Superman is an epic song, it really sets the mood for Super Junior and their place in the kpop world. It's just a powerful song and I wish for 6JIB they had something as powerful to match it. I get goosebumps listening to Superman. Gulliver kinda comes close, but not really. Its saving grace is the ending climax when the boys chant "make way for the new king" (weren't they already the kings tho?) and Donghae's sextastic voice drawling "baby are you baby, baby?" I'm still baffled as to why SM has not let Donghae release a solo song with him drawling/rapping like that and him dancing smoothly ala Sorry Sorry Answer. It would be heavenly and orgasmic. SM needs to get it done.VforVeranoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8546611158032673480.post-66971565151281406482012-07-12T18:25:30.320-04:002012-07-12T18:25:30.320-04:00Post is golden.
