I guess most people just finds the new single really jarring (in every aspect). The Boys was a nice step away from the usual but it was easier to digest, IGAB is like if 2NE1 were to come out with some Girl's Day type mess, it just alienates a lot of fans. Thankfully they're popular enough to get away with it! :P I actually like some of the other songs on the album quite a bit and I'm sure they'll release a repackage or special edition with another title track in a while so I'm not too worried! But as a fan it makes me sad to see something like this happening lol

Ill be honest my first reaction was horrid, but once I saw a live I was able to focus better. Yes the song is a mess, but it's growing on me.

Watching the live feels like watching a musical lol

I really like it.

On first listen I felt overwhelmed, then really unsure whether I liked it or not. I've come to the feeling that IGAB should be taken as a preview of the 4th album instead of a stand alone song - it's like a medley of sorts that contains a bunch of sounds heard on the album.

I really don't regret supporting it so many times over xD

In the MV when Hyo steps forward just before Tiffany's solo part, I hope that in an extended version of the song that she gets her epic dance solo. I love that she gets lots of lines though. The YurixHyo performance was really something awesome.

I have to disagree with you, this visual is pretty lame, I hope she doesn't stick with it too long. GorJess has always been pretty to me (except for her hair on both Run Devil Run and in the second time she played Elle Woods.)

I wish someday she would go back to her Oh! look because that was the only good thing of that sugary-diabetes-ish song.

Jessica and Hyoyeon are goddesses tbh. Hyosica is the OTP.

I agree. That wig is a mess. I love the Oh! style. Thats the only time I like Sunny as a brunette, because she rocks short blonde hair way better than long brunette.
(Also; everyone looked GORGEOUS on the ~the boys~ repackage cover, probably my favorite shoot of them)

People keep saying, "Romantic Fantasy got really low viewership! Oh, that means no one likes 'I Got a Boy'!" which is not true. When you compare the viewership of Romantic Fantasy versus, say, Big Bang's comeback special in early 2012, Romantic Fantasy got more views even though it aired late on New Year's Day when most people had probably stayed up late the night before and were tired.

I agree with you. While the viewership ratings were lower than other shows in the same time slot, they received higher ratings than both Big Bang (whose comeback special on SBS on March 9, 2012 earned a 3 percent rating) and BoA (whose comeback special on SBS on July 28, 2012 earned a 3.2 percent rating). In comparison to other types of shows, it appears that all of the comeback special shows in the past year receive fairly low ratings, however Girls' Generation still had more viewers than the other artists for similiar shows.

Pretty much my thoughts, rofl.

aka "the boring version".


Not bad work though. I just can't believe they cut Jessica's part.

Finally getting around to watching Romantic Fantasy. Yuri is drop dead gorgeous.

And seriously about Tiffany trying. She needs to sit down now. Her and Sooyoung...


AND thank god for their songs not being hard to sing...or their vocal abilities, or backing tracks, or whatever. It's just so pleasant. So many Japanese shows lately...I forgot what nice voices sound like.


but omg. **** this guy and his camera angles for Gee.


...That show was better than some tours I've seen. And...
Seriously. How could they not give Tae her own song.

^ LOL why Tiffany why?? T__T

btw, today's mnet countdown

I got a boy



Dancing Queen



and that re-arranged version, is that official from SM? or fanmade?

^Seems like re-arranged is fanmade.

I still can't believe Sooyoung, Hyoyeon and Yuri got so few lines in this song..

They cut Taeyeon's solo. Her voice is absolutely shot now.

Jessica solo part definitely the best part of the song for me...

^ MTE, her part is my favorite too.
i donno, but i've been addicted to the song, their dance moves, i really like. so badass.
