Lingua Franca... Ties perfectly into my World Englishes class from last semester haha!

[CoriKaru]

Title truly does suck.

[emi♡]

I appreciate that title but it's slightly pretentious...is the song going to be in english then.

[Kouyou]

Yaaay, new Japanese single. Hopefully no more repackages... like ever... lol.

MY THOUGHTS EXACTLY.

If anyone has to speak during the song, at least give the lines to Jessica. Tiffany has a tendency to moan, whine, grunt or shout when she talks.

And wth is going on with them: LOVE&GIRLS? Seriously? If Girls & Peace wasn't bad enough...

I liked the first album but that's that. They should go back to Korea and stick there.

[ExodusUK]

Their Korean music sucks balls.

[adantatu2]

Honestly i only like the title tracks from their korean releases. The rest of the songs aren't very good in my opinion.

I think their two japanese albums are really good, i like the singles, and the album tracks are the best (I only dislike like two songs). But, honestly the covers for Girls' & Peace are horrible.

[CoriKaru]

I will concede that "TRICK" and "OSCAR" were good.

Didn't see anyone posting this:

In the short mv it almost seems like Tiffany is the leader of the group. She has more camera time than the rest of the girls combined! Go awayyy.
And Yuri is completely hidden in this MV </3

Yay for showing it on TV~! I really wanted to see the performances.

[ExodusUK]

Tiffany does have the most parts in the first half of the song, it makes sense I guess.

Seems like the got the most parts in the entire song.

@_@ I don't even realized this before

(There seem to be some tiny mistakes there though, but Tiffany has the most)

I'v always wondered about the reasoning for who to give the most lines to. I understand Tayeon, as she is the lead singer. But Tiffany and Jessica are on the same level, and their english is the same. Why does Tiffany have so much more than Jessica here? Tbh, Jessicas voice fits better with the cutsey songs, while Tiffany works better on the rough ones, like IGAB.

[emi♡]

I think Tiffany is just more pushy. She's probably a lot more vocal about getting this part or that part.

And I think it's because she's smarter than some of the others.

[ExodusUK]

Well I think..Jessica and Tiffany get more lines despite being below Seohyun and Taeyeon in terms of singing rank or w/e because they're the most accomplished at English. With Beep Beep I think the song suits Tiffany's personality and voice, if Jessica did the opening Hello..? crap it would too sweet and cute where as Tiffany sounds more stuck up/Valley girl.

I see IGAB as more Taeyeon's song than Jessica's or Tiffany's as she has the most solos. Where as The Boys is 100% Jessica's song and Tiffany only gets two lines at the end of the song.

Also I think Tiffany's Japanese has improved so much, she's kinda the default over Jessica. A song like Not Alone would usually default to Jessica as Jessica's voice has that Disney Princess quality but Tiffany kinda steals the show.

It wasn't until a 2nd or 3rd viewing that I realized I hadn't seen Yuri and then the age old game of "Where Is Waldo" commenced. Needless to say, I did not feel like a winner at the end.

[kimmeh]

They can negotiate for lines? WORK HARDER HYOYEON.

ExodusUK: But for me Beep Beep is such a super cutesy song, I personally would like it if Jessica song more of the lines Tiffany has, except the start - I agree with you that Tiffany sounds better there.

@ CoriKaru: Me too! I was watching the MV and then I noticed I hadn't seen my third fave, Yuri? So I paused the vid on all of them and started looking around.. And she wasn't there? Then I continued the vid and then saw that she was actually just standing outside the camera view. Did she insult SMTown or something? Its like they're intentionally blocking her out of this MV poor girl

[adantatu2]

We don't have the full video yet
I was listenning the song many times, and i'm obssesed, so catchy!

Honestly, idk, but I find it hard to believe that they have absolutely no input at all. I guess you never know though.


About Tiff vs. Jessica...I'm just tired of Tiffany. She isn't the only person there, and neither is Jessica. For me, Jess' voice is so unique, I feel like it's better when used sparsely, but in super important sections. Like her part in IGAB. Was perfect.

I want more Seohyun and Yuri, now that we've got more Sunny.

Maybe trust Hyoyeon, idk. Never give Yoona more lines. That poor thing.
