CL's singles "Hello B******" dropped last night and I was so pumped listening to the music track, that I got addicted to the music in seconds.
Especially the Hello kitty, hella old part cracks me up. what? too soon? Sorry......
I was so impressed by the song that I went searching for the performance music video and if you don't mind I would like to take you through How I reacted to each section of the video.
When the music video started I was like . . .
All them girls sticking out their tongues like that, what are they trying to say here? Are they trying to make a statement? Someone explain that to me.
And when the hook dropped so did CL and th moves she did, made me say . . . .
Which I usually never say.. .. no sir...
and I though "finally, the music video is making sense" and then one of the girl starts slapping another girls bottom area. . . which made me cringe. . . like never before...
I tried to hold it in till the end of the music video but when one of the girl did that ridiculously disgusting licking finger thing, I lost it....
I thought I had seen it all, but never in my life was I ever prepared to see CL literally twerk it on the floor like that.
I just wasn't ready for this...
For the first time, I felt like an outsider in a realm I had grown up in. . . this was not the kind of Kpop I grew up with.
I think CL is trying to make a statement here and I also know that this music video and track is supposedly meant to be the proper base for her American debut, but pay some respect to the land you were raised in, CL..
Rappers I believe have an air about them, be it their appearance, the way they talk or even the way they perform, the have something in them that sets them apart from the rest of the group. Rappers get deep respect from me as I hold them in a pinnacle of music industry. And CL obviously has a stance of her own.
I often thought of her as a tough unni, the you-can't-touch-this kind of vibe. But her floor thrusting move and the many sexual innuendo that many of the dancers show off give the music video a different feel. I guess she is trying to show female freedom and liberation but it caters more to the western world then the eastern world. Disconnected just got a whole new meaning.
A college professor of mine once comment on this as a "Burning one's own roots"
Once again, this is just my opinion.
