So What If You Got a Boy?


Just gonna give my 2 cents on this whole thing. This song has no lasting power. Whyyy is the song composed the way it is? It's so disjointed and I kind of hate how it keeps switching back and forth between beats. Is that necessary? The only part I even remember/keep hearing in my head is the "I got a boy 멋진." Everything else is just random crap thrown together to fill 4 minutes of song.

Many of 2NE1's fans are complaining about how similar the style is to 2NE1. The song style isn't the same, that's for sure. The clothing style is more like f(x)'s style especially during their NU ABO time. I guess Girls' Generations' promotion with "The Boys" seemed too unsuccessful in America so now SM Entertainment has to change their style again. Maybe SNSD's old image is too cookie cutter for America's tastes. American's like something that is a novelty hence PSY's "Gangnam Style" takeover. I feel like SNSD is now starting to imitate other groups in an attempt to stay alive. Or they're just trying really hard to incorporate what's popular these days (STUSSY and OBEY?). Or maybe SM has been focusing too much on promoting the girls outside of Korea that as soon as they release a new Korean song, it's trash. They wasted all their ideas on Japan. I mean, have you seen the SMTOWN YouTube? There's a whole section of nothing but original Japanese Girls' Generation music videos.

Not hating on the group. Just to make that clear. Just hating on SM Entertainment for slowly ruining the group.

PSY on The Ellen DeGeneres Show


Alright. So maybe, maybe I'm just overthinking things but I seriously feel like some Americans are treating PSY as some huge novelty that's rolled around. They aren't talking about his music or anything like that. They're just talking about his horsey dance and music video. I'm also sure that most media coverage being done is just an attempt to ride the bandwagon and gain viewers (even if it's only temporary). Eventually, his 15 minutes of fame will run out and most white people won't even remember his name. I mean, don't get me wrong. I'm pretty sure Ellen enjoyed having PSY teach her the "Gangnam Style" dance. It's just some of the other people like the ones on CNN International that I question. Gotta give props to YG Entertainment for getting PSY this far, though. This was the kind of attention that SM and JYP couldn't get with the Wonder Girls and Girls' Generation.
