Woah, this review is like really really late, considering that the song was released on the 10th of October yet I'm only doing the review on the 29th.:/ I've been anticipating T-ARA's comeback ever since Sexy Love because T-ARA is my number 1 KPOP group. They produce addicting songs and not to mention that they used to have many talented rappers.

Anyway, the MV for Number 9 was really cool, cool in a sense that the filming was well done. I really liked the outfits too, with the exception of JiYeon's black-and-white-stripes outfit. I particularly liked all 3 outfits of SoYeon's. I think her outfits this time round is really cute.xD My favourite part? When they filmed QRi biting off a petal from a flower near the end of the MV.
As for the song, the song is again, addictive, not to mention that there was HyoMin's "I'm addict. I'm addict." One really special factor that keeps me listening to this song is the splitting of solo parts. I really appreciated that EunJung has received a larger proportion of the solo parts. I've been craving for that ever since I Go Crazy Because of You. However, I would also like to see BoRam getting a few more solo parts in Number 9, but oh well, she's one of the main leads in I Know the Feeling. I felt that the song (the beats) resembles Sexy Love to a certain extent too. Till now, I haven't figure out what does Number 9 exactly refers to - some netizens said it means endless hopes while others say it's something related to about the Love Portion Number 9 song.
On to the dance. What captivated me was JiYeon's dance parts when she was singing her solo parts (the part just before the first chorus), something like "You are my tuxedo mask". I just find that part amazing - no other word can replace that. The finger-kinda-plugging-ear was cool as well. I think I remembered EunJung saying that it is to illustrate earphones being plugged into the ears to listen to the song.
Review for T-ARA's Number 9 MV-2

The so-called second MV for Number 9 was somewhat disappointing. Like most of the fans, I've been expecting a Drama version MV with scenes filmed in the deserts at Mongolia. However, it comes out to only include few desert scenes, most of which were already shown in the teasers. However, considering the budget and that T-ARA has not made a comeback for more than a year, it seemed as if there was insufficient funds to film a drama version MV. The MV is also only 2minutes plus, which is another disappointing factor. I mean, why couldn't they film enough scenes to so that the 4minute-long song had scenes from Mongolia?
Overall, I'll still give the song a 7/10!^^
