[MV REVIEW] Miss A - I don't need a man

For starters, korean entertainment’s vision on women empowerment apparently resides in their ability to buy their own shoes. LOL.

As for the members, not only they lacked the strenght and fierceness that this concept requires, but their profiles didn’t blend with it either; considering their previous works in general and Suzy‘s persona in particular.

Moreover, the producers and writers also failed at their jobs giving life to one of the most cheap-looking MVs i’ve seen in a while. The lame sets and the mediocre filming have “10 bucks budget” written all over them.

Not fooling anyone

Supposedly inspired by Destiny’s Child‘s works (the only visual influece i could find was in Fei‘s hair though) it gives away the Beyoncé’s  “Single ladies (put a ring on it)” vibe more than anything. Not a nice outcome, IMO.

This song, I may confess, is the only song i've heard from these ladies that didn't make me yawn in exhaustation. Not only that, but also got stuck in my mind for a whole day ("i don't need a man, i don't need a man, what?") It's balanced enough to keep Miss A's weakneses practically invisible and let the strenghts deliver without complications. In a nutshell: they all sound better, the song sounds better. Plus, the rap isn't hideous to my ears and that, my friends, is a big plus coming from a girl group that isn't BEG.

NOTE: I’m not sure how long is going to take before JYP starts taking the lead roles in his artists' MVs (or how long does he plan to pretend that this group isn’t just an excuse to sell Suzy in every possible market)

All in all, i really liked Jia in this video. I think that her, and Min, would’ve had no problems interpreting something edgier, and that’s a variant to consider for a group who has been painting inside the lines without taking much risk.

Like I give a fuck
