I'm not getting into the whole "line distribution" thing, since in their Japanese singles, it's essentially the same thing over and over again (Hyoyeon only getting one line to make us remember that she still has a little presence in this song, Yoona getting filler English lines because she's the visual, etc.) Plus, that's pretty_angel92's territory when it comes to writing about line distribution, so I'm not stepping over my boundaries xP.
This song started out promising for me. Seohyun's voice didn't sound nasal unlike in some of their other Japanese releases this year, and Sunny's voice... I just have no words. She sounded AMAZING on her first part.
The pre-chorus wasn't that bad, but that change in tempo and beat was too sudden in my opinion. I liked hearing after a few more listens.
But then... BOOM. The chorus happens.
I'm sorry, but that chorus felt so disjointed from the whole song that it ended up ruining the song for me. At first listen, I didn't even know they were saying, "We are the show girls!" But then I realized that's ALL they were saying for the chorus, and I hate it when the chorus becomes super repetitive since it makes the song sound stupid in my opinion.
Can I just say that I love Yuri's voice in the second verse? She sounded so nice here before that "doo doo yeah" part which sounds pathetic.
And then... the bridge.
I'll be honest. The bridge sounds dull, and I feel that they just needed to put Yoona somewhere, so they added that part. Again, her English isn't that great, but:
1. I could at least understand her this time instead of that English line she got in My Oh My. (I still don't know whether or not she said, "So throw him away," or "So blow him away." Different websites say different things.)
2. It didn't sound too sudden, unlike her lines in Lips.
And I liked the adlibs from Jessica, Tiffany, and Taeyeon in the last chorus, but it wasn't enough to make me actually enjoy that chorus.
Overall, it reminded me of Express 999 and Holler combined, and while I seem to like both of these songs now (after replaying the songs constantly) I don't think I'll like this song that much.
So far, for their official Japanese releases this year, I'd say they're all equal. I don't necessarily like them, but I don't hate them either. Thanks for reading, leave a comment on your thoughts about the song, fan the article if you liked it, and I'll see you at the next article! Bye!

Holy crap, Girls' Generation isn't legendary for no reason. The MV to their hit 2009 track "Gee" has reached 150 million views!
This is an incredible feat, and just beyond words. It looks like the views starting shooting up again after the 'glitch' YouTube had, where this original MV was deleted, taking away all of the accumulated views. At the time, the view count was close to 150 million. But after fans protested, the video was thankfully put back up.
Congrats to Girls' Generation and SONEs!

Taeyeon
Girls’ Generation’s Taeyeon will have her own reality program.
On October 12th, a source stated that Taeyeon will become the star of OnStyle’s “Taengoo Cam” (translator’s note: this is a temporary title). They’ve been filming consistently from the day her album released until recently.
The program name, “Taengoo Cam” comes from Taeyeon’s nickname, “Taengoo”, and will show her real, daily life. It will consist of behind the scenes content related to the release of her solo album ‘I’, along with her views on music and other little happenings in her day. It will be filmed with the staff following Taeyeon’s every steps and will deliver fun content to her fans.
OnStyle’s “Taengoo Cam” is currently being filmed, and the first episode broadcast date is being decided. They are planning on revealing it within this month.
