She’s referring to the tempo; when she says, “Let’s bring it back to 140″, she’s saying crank the tempo back to 140bpm

How did I only find this just now. Prophet stop writing stuff I agree with all the time, I feel my angst levels getting unhealthily low.

Idk if I can call myself a SONE because I still don’t know everyone’s name (I’M SORRY, I CAN’T HELP THAT THEY ALL LOOK SO SIMILAR TO ME!!!!) and I’m not up to date on their doings in the idolsphere (that stuff does not interest me and I would not want someone observing me like I’m an animal 24/7), but I really enjoy their music; even after I got over the shock that the image they had in the Boys wasn’t their normal look.

Also, I’m not trying to be a jerk here, I’m just curious – how can you hate K-Pop? I know people that do, but that’s because they hate anything that sounds mainstream and/or they hate music that ain’t in English. So tell me, what’s your reason :3

Similar story here. I was one of those who disliked K-Pop with a passion…until SNSD released The Boys in English. I backtracked from their 2011 songs and got interested, but once I got to know the group and individual members more, I got buried deep. I don’t know if you’re a SONE but I became one not just because of SNSD’s music, but because of the entire package.

Can’t agree with you more. I don’t get why people label something crappy just because they don’t like it.

Despite the big transformation, I was not really shocked since SNSD changes concept for almost every single. I, though, admit that IGAB is a very far cry from “The Boys” and any other song released by the group.

I personally like the song…this is a concept I never thought they can pull off until IGAB happened.

The song is not meant for easy listening, what with so many things and changes happening, but it is an exciting one for me. I still believe that the whole song could have been better if the TaeTiSeo part is not included and instead cut straight to Jessica’s “Let’s bring it back to 140″ bit…which I still don’t get anyway.

Both SM and SNSD took quite a big risk when they released IGAB, but the risk is definitely worth it.

I loved it because of the multiple beat changes, it’s not overly repetative and majorly mainstream sounding.

I agree and disagree with some of the review and some of the comments. While I agree that this would work wonderfully for F(x) I think that fact that SNSD has such a big group it gave them a bit more diversity to play with which is what i think is the reason it worked for them. And while it does sound like multiple sounds it has a similar feel throughout all of them and with the lyrics and the voices mashing well with the quick change in the beat and tempo it makes the song work. I admit I wasnt a fan of the song when I heard it. I was more like..uh…but i LOVED the looks and colors. After awhile I wanted to listen to the song again and it just hooked. So while it might not be an instant hook it has an overall hook which is what makes it great. Since it is SUCH a drastic change to SNSD I understand people’s reservations but I believe that as long as a song flows well and does what it is suppose too then thats all that matters. This song is suppose to inspire happiness and joy and to get up and dance. maybe not the lyrics but the beat definitely! So if you dont like it thats fine but dont judge others because they liked it. Of course that’s just my opinion.

I like “The Boys” better than this “IGAB”… right, the concept doesn’t suit GG, it’s more of F(x) thing…

[...] One reviewer over at the Prophet Blog felt strongly that the song isn’t as bad as the rest of the K-fandom is making it out to be. In fact, in one exchange I had with the author via Twitter, he called the song “brilliant.” I, of course, snicker at the thought that “I Got A Boy” frolics anywhere near “brilliance” but I did rub my chin in thoughtful agreement after reading this from his review: [...]
