When does an artist ever get positive reactions lol

To me...the song is more like....a live song. Like, if they aren't performing it, or you aren't going to dance to it...there's not really...any point.

I guess most people just finds the new single really jarring (in every aspect). The Boys was a nice step away from the usual but it was easier to digest, IGAB is like if 2NE1 were to come out with some Girl's Day type mess, it just alienates a lot of fans. Thankfully they're popular enough to get away with it!

I actually like some of the other songs on the album quite a bit and I'm sure they'll release a repackage or special edition with another title track in a while so I'm not too worried! But as a fan it makes me sad to see something like this happening lol

What a mess. The chorus bit is the best part, its really super catchy. The rest is totally meh. Everyone looks good though. Am I the only one laughing cause TIffany is still trying to be the star of the group?

Oh is that what that is? Girl be always having me grimmacing.

I will say that this is the best I have ever seen Jessica look. The shots of her with her orange mane of hair and extensions.

Beats the crap out of her usually frilly curly due which be leaving her looking like a homely frump mess. Now she looks like a Goddess Mermaid. Her Promo shot with her holding her hair up with the coat draped over the front of her body with her devilish grin was always my favorite. I wish she always looked like this. I'm crushing.

I'll post a picture soon of a shot I like.

I wish someday she would go back to her Oh! look because that was the only good thing of that sugary-diabetes-ish song.

I agree. That wig is a mess. I love the Oh! style. Thats the only time I like Sunny as a brunette, because she rocks short blonde hair way better than long brunette.
(Also; everyone looked GORGEOUS on the ~the boys~ repackage cover, probably my favorite shoot of them)

People keep saying, "Romantic Fantasy got really low viewership! Oh, that means no one likes 'I Got a Boy'!" which is not true. When you compare the viewership of Romantic Fantasy versus, say, Big Bang's comeback special in early 2012, Romantic Fantasy got more views even though it aired late on New Year's Day when most people had probably stayed up late the night before and were tired.

I agree with you. While the viewership ratings were lower than other shows in the same time slot, they received higher ratings than both Big Bang (whose comeback special on SBS on March 9, 2012 earned a 3 percent rating) and BoA (whose comeback special on SBS on July 28, 2012 earned a 3.2 percent rating). In comparison to other types of shows, it appears that all of the comeback special shows in the past year receive fairly low ratings, however Girls' Generation still had more viewers than the other artists for similiar shows.

Ill be honest my first reaction was horrid, but once I saw a live I was able to focus better. Yes the song is a mess, but it's growing on me.

kendelle · #9 2nd January 2013, 03:33 PM

Watching the live feels like watching a musical lol

I really like it.

On first listen I felt overwhelmed, then really unsure whether I liked it or not. I've come to the feeling that IGAB should be taken as a preview of the 4th album instead of a stand alone song - it's like a medley of sorts that contains a bunch of sounds heard on the album.

I really don't regret supporting it so many times over xD

In the MV when Hyo steps forward just before Tiffany's solo part, I hope that in an extended version of the song that she gets her epic dance solo. I love that she gets lots of lines though. The YurixHyo performance was really something awesome.

Jessica and Hyoyeon are goddesses tbh. Hyosica is the OTP.

CoriKaru · #11 3rd January 2013, 07:11 AM

Re-arranged Version of "I Got A Boy".

emi♡ · #12 3rd January 2013, 07:38 AM

aka "the boring version".

Not bad work though. I just can't believe they cut Jessica's part.

Finally getting around to watching Romantic Fantasy. Yuri is drop dead gorgeous.

And seriously about Tiffany trying. She needs to sit down now. Her and Sooyoung...

AND thank god for their songs not being hard to sing...or their vocal abilities, or backing tracks, or whatever. It's just so pleasant. So many Japanese shows lately...I forgot what nice voices sound like.

but omg. **** this guy and his camera angles for Gee.

...That show was better than some tours I've seen. And...

Spoiler:

Seriously. How could they not give Tae her own song.

But TaeNy is the only real ship in SNSD. It's real guys. It's real...

I don't get Tiffany getting two stages, Call Me Maybe and the duet. I would really prefer their duet to have been on the TWINKLE mini album as they're 2/3 of that subunit and the album itself is only 10 songs to begin with, so there's only 9 songs with all 9 girls singing.

My copies shipped the other day - should be here this week. You've probably all seen photos of them but I'll take some for this thread regardless so you can see all 10 together

Unless DVDHeaven stuffed up my order lol
