Excited? Happy? Overwhelmed? I know, Winner finally debuted! They came out with two music videos so I am doing both, hence why the title doesn't say a specific song/MV. I am reviewing both Empty and Color Ring by YG Entertainment's new boy group, Winner. The SongsI like Color Ring but I personally think Empty is better. When I started watching Empty, it started with Mino and me being a Mino fan, I really enjoyed that. Besides how it started though, I just liked the sound, beat, and style better than Color Ring. Color Ring is a bit slower and it is good, trust me, I downloaded it, but I just didn't enjoy it as much. It is a song I can't listen to too often but the one part where they just say "ring, ring, ring, ring" does get stuck in my head. I am a little disappointed with Winner and Mr. YG. Only because Winner are taking up Big Bang's title and that is a big, big, big responsibility but I expected a fast, upbeat song that I would enjoy more not two slow songs that do not meet my expectations for Winner. I do like the songs and I do like Winner so far but I like other groups more and feel like they could have done better for being "the new Big Bang" and being under YG Entertainment. They kind of sounded like aWoollim Entertainment group in my opinion. The MVsThey didn't make much sense to me. Both music videos were just them sitting or walking around and singing. There wasn't really a story to either except in the lyrics, maybe. I mean, watching the one with all the falling into water stuff was kind of weird and made no sense. Was Mr. YG just trying to put something random together? Color Ring's MV also kind of reminded me of Big Bang's Tell Me Goodbye MV with the rain and stuff. Actually with Winner's debut, it all looked like Big Bang's old stuff put together and mixed to make Winner. My Opinion on These as a debutI think that these are good and they are catchy but Mr. YG should have done it differently in my opinion. As a debut for a group that is highly anticipated, it's not amazing but good. I was expecting something amazing. The set for the music videos looked like old Big Bang sets put together, the clothes looked like Big Bang's old clothes, and I just looked at things and thought of something that Big Bang did that had things like that. It's not that I am angry about Winner "replacing" them, I mean of course I don't want them too, but it's just that they looked like wannabes instead and they are not good enough to be Big Bang but I am sure they will get better the more they are around. MinoI heard of Mino before I heard about Winner because I like Block B and I listened to Zico's solo stuff from Zico on the Block and one of his songs called 4 My Town has Mino featured in it. So listening to Zico, I heard Mino in quite a few of his songs. That is why I am a fan of Mino now. Anyways, I heard Mino in Empty and I was a bit shocked. Why? Because Mino is a great rapper, I heard him rap Doom DaDa, 4 My Town, and some of his underground stuff too and I liked it a lot but hearing him in Winner made me shocked because he didn't sound as good. He sounded good but not as good as he normally is. His voice didn't sound as deep and his rapping in general wasn't as good. I am hoping he sounds better in other songs by Winner and that he doesn't have to keep a different style in Winner than when he is live or singing something underground or with Zico. WinnerI don't know much about these four and I know more about MIno that's why I did Mino separate but I will say that they all remind me of someone from Big Bang and I think that's what YG wanted. Although, I may not get them right because I do not know the members well yet. Mino reminds me of T.O.P becuase he is the rapper with a deep voice and he is very charismatic. Seunghoon reminds me of G-Dragon a tiny bit but only because he raps right before or right after Mino just like G-Dragon and T.O.P do. Other than that small reason, he is Taeyang. Jinwoo reminds me of Daesung, I don't know why. Seungyoon reminds me of Seungri, he just does. Taehyun is the one that really reminds me of GD. Taehyun though is the one with fashion, looks, and he seems like the leader, I think he is though, I don't know. But Taehyun just gives off the feel of G-Dragon and I have a feeling he will also make a solo debut in a year or so. That is all I have to say but I do like Winner and are expecting a lot for them.
In total Color Ring's MV gets a 2 out of 10 and the song gets a 8.4 out of 10. Empty's MV gets a 7 out of 10 and the song gets a 9.8 out of 10. I hope you enjoyed this review.

Since it's summer, MVs have been coming out almost every week and that makes my list of MV Reviews pile up like a mountain so when I have a lot to do and they start to get older I will do this! What is this? This is a Multi MV Review! It's where I do different MVs at the same time so I can just get them all out the way for new MVs to come out so this way I won't be behind on any. So today I am doing four MVs at once. Just in case you didn't read those captions I am doing Wonder Girls, Yenny(HA:TFELT)'s Ain't Nobody MV, SISTAR's Touch My Body MV, NU'EST's Good Bye Bye MV, and Kim Hyun Joong's Beauty Beauty MV. The ConceptsSISTAR'S: I didn't hate it but it did not reach my expectations. Even though I am not a big SISTAR fan, I still had better hopes in a comeback. Still not the worst but not the best. Kim Hyun Joong's: What was his concept? Like, yeah it's the whole "guy trying to get the girl" thing but why did he just follow her around like a lost puppy? Also, I hate to say it but Kim Hyun Joong tries so hard to be a bad boy but after seeing him in Boys Over Flowers he just isn't. He doesn't look like on either. I'm sorry, Kim Hyun Joong. HA:TFELT's: I don't know what to say. I am a fan of Wonder Girls but I just...I don't even know what was going on. And the one exorcist part...What was that? NU'EST's: I am not a big NU'EST fan. Maybe I like Face and like two other songs but I don't know the members besides Ren and I don't listen to them a lot at all. Maybe every once and a while but not every day or even every week. Anyways, I thought I would check it out since I would end up doing a review for it anyways and I like it. I mean, I didn't get the whole eating the fish, flowers out their faces and sparks out their faces thing but it was still enjoyable. The MVsSISTAR's: I wasn't a big fan but still okay. Kim Hyun Joong's: I mean it wasn't terrible or bad even but it wasn't amazing so I guess it was good. HA:TFELT's: Um...I have no words. I'm sorry. NU'EST's: Like I said for HA:TFELT's...No words. Maybe weird. Yeah, weird. The DancesSISTAR's: I can't remember it too well but it wasn't bad. They did good. Good job, SISTAR. Kim Hyun Joong's: He just walked...I mean I haven't watched his stage performances so I don't know if there really is a dance but still. HA:TFELT's: Was her exorcist moves a dance? I couldn't tell. NU'EST's: I don't think there was one but I'm sure it's good. The SongsSISTAR's: I liked it but not enough to download it. Maybe it's like Hyuna's Red where I have to listen to it a second time to like it. Kim Hyun Joong's: I am a fan. I liked it but I would have to be in a good mood to listen to it, just because it is a bright, happy, summer song. HA:TFELT's: I was okay with it. I mean, she is good at singing but I just wasn't into it. It wasn't my style. NU'EST's: Shockingly, I liked it enough to remind myself to download it. I don't do that with NU'EST's songs but I like this one so I now have it. Well that was my first Multi MV Review! I hope it was cool and enjoyable. If you haven't checked these out, go do that now. Feel free to give us your opinion on these MVs and songs. I will say that NU'EST's had to be my favorite out of these just because the song is good and the MV is weird, which I like weird MVs like that. Okay, thank you guys!
Today's MV Review is one that I am yet again excited for. It's Block B's HER! The ConceptWhen I saw the first two teasers I was super confused. I was like, "did Block B get probed by aliens?" because they were so pink and colorful. Then I saw the third teaser and my first thought was; "this is Block B". I like how they have changed their style but they haven't at the same time. They are pink and colorful but still cool and weird like they have always been so it's a fresh thing with them but it's still their style and you can still tell that they are Block B. The DanceThis dance is awesome! It's like they took their old dances and mixed them! The whole thing with their hands on their hips reminds me kinda of the Nalina Gorilla dance and I like how you can tell it's a Block B styled dance. The SongIt's loud, it's fun, it's crazy! It's everything Block B is. I can listen to this song whenever, wherever, and for a long time on replay. This is a good song for any time except when you're trying to sleep because then you just want to dance and sing instead of sleep. The MVI love it! When I first saw it, it was just amazing! I mean, they are being idiots like always and I thought that girl from the first two teasers was in it but she isn't. What does that mean? Perhaps a....Second version? We won't know until it happens, if it happens! My FavoritesI have a lot! -The Song: P.O, U-Kwon, or Zico's solo is my favorite. I can't decide but I love the whole song as well. Maybe I'll say Zico's because he is my bias. -The MV: When Zico does the "Zico Zico-nii" thing during the interview and when U-Kwon says "Jesus" at the start of the chorus while they are on a golf cart. -Funny Moment: My favorite funny moment in the MV, even though there are a lot and they are all awesome, is when Zico just kinda... So that's all! I hope you enjoyed it and comment or fill in our Kpop Survey and I will try to be more active on the blog. I will post more soon! Thank you!
