review: brown eyed girls | “abracadabra” pv (2009) (jrocknyc)

Go gives another Korean girl group’s new “smash hit” a chance and finds it, in a word, “inferior” to a certain other Korean song. I won’t say which, but here’s a hint: gee gee gee gee oh god make it stop. His final remark about the “Abracadabra” PV is perhaps a little harsh, but it’s quick-witted and right to the point, which is classic Go.

Personally, while this is nothing like that other song, I quite like it… and for all the reasons Go doesn’t. I like rapping… I like autotune… and hey, the part where the girls start taking off their clothes and sticking their rear ends in the air is pretty hot. Just goes to show how different our tastes all are, I guess!
