JYPE’s latest creation, Miss A, let’s start some member introductions:
Fei/Wang Fei Fei
Chinese
1987 – 23
Jia/ Meng Jia
Chinese
1989 – 21
Min
Korean
1991 – 19
You may recognise her as the girl that danced with HyoYeon(SNSD) and various dance videos of her whilst in America where she was known to netizens as “Lil’ Jon’s protege.” – I don’t know what happened to that either.
Suzy/ Bae Seu Ji
Korean
1994 – 16
Now that we know what we’re dealing with I shall review. At first glance I was like ‘woah,‘ – that was because of Jia’s PINK hair lol. Just by looking at their picture it was obvious what route JYP wanted to take with them and it wasn’t cute, (YES!). I had seen their Anycall campaign “Love Again” but I never took much notice of it, but now, in hindsight, Jia looks better without the pink hair ^^.
Anyway, I didn’t watch their very first performance but I did see one and I’ve got to say, for rookies, they’re pretty good. Stable voices, solid dancing – a recipe for a good debut. There’s always one or two members in a group that you notice more and others that blend but with this group they all have their own presence. I don’t have any favourite performers (you know, the ones you can’t wait to blow you away with that dance or power note) but I don’t feel there’s any that I forget. I do however have an interest in Fei, I don’t know, I just think that she has a lot to offer, not that the other girls don’t but it’s just in inckling, I could be wrong.
It took me a couple of days to actually watch the MV, by this point the pink hair was making me ill. The ballet skills hadn’t impresses me because I’ve seen it amongst a lot of singers lately (korean or not). I did like the MV though, it was simple but not boring and showed just enough skill to keep you engaged for the 3+ miniutes.
The song itself is catchy (when is a kpop song these days not catchy lol) it’s bold, sexy but has just enough ‘sweetness’ to keep everyone happy. I like the meaning of the song, it’s kind of different ^^. There are lot of badly translated videos around but I guess you can kind of get the drift if you can’t pick out the errors =)
The entire single is alright. There are a couple of cute-sounding songs but not to the extremity of Orange Caramel, they do however save themselves with ‘Break it’ which has that bad girl vibe which makes me think of After School’s 나쁜놈/Nappeun Nom =).
Overall I think I would give them:
6/10 for vocals
7/10 for dance skill
5/10 for image
That’s pretty good for a rookie group whom I’ve seen very little of. I hope they do well, they seem to be gathering a lot of positive attention already :)
video cred:lnterminableHD
Sidenote: Taeyang has won two awards thus far, yeahhhhhhh~ xD
