Last month I said that I didn't love Super Junior's song, "For U". I take that back! After watching a video of their first live performance of the song I fell in love with it. Now, I can't get enough of it. Here it is in all its charming, dorky glory -
I love the smooth vocals and harmonies. The dance is something that even I can get. They all look so cute and even a bit dorky. Leeteuk sounds kind of cheesy at the beginning. But, hey! It's a cheesy song.
Speaking of Super Junior songs that didn't grab me the first time I heard them, their latest songs came out on August 4th. I was so excited to buy the songs that I didn't even bother to listen to them on iTunes before I purchased them. And then I listened to SPY ..... whoa! Different. Unique. Strange. Weird. Those are nice words to convey my feelings. My actual thought was,"What the crap did I just buy!!!!" And, "Oh no! A Super Junior song I don't like!" To say that I was dismayed would be putting it mildly. But then I decided to give it another chance and another and another. Before I knew it I was liking the song and then loving the song. Now I can't get enough of it.
While I was learning to love the song I was bummed out that there was no music video for it. There was a music video teaser for it, but that never tells you much. They were performing the song on various music shows in Korea so I had a good idea of what the video would end up looking like. But that's not the same.
Finally, last night, while I was watching the closing ceremonies for the Olympics, Siwon tweeted about the video. I love it. I love the cutesy bits. I love the James Bond vibe. I love the dance. I love how unexpected it is that Kyuhyun and Ryeowook are rapping. It's kind of stange but in a really great way. Enjoy -
