[discussion] Beautiful You
Beautiful Life
Beautiful Thing
Beautiful You
Doesn't it give you the feeling that the boys will SO worship their woman?
This song reflects their maturity in genres. Their voices are much more 'seasoned' comparing to their 1st Japanese Single : Stay with me Tonight; which has the same 'flavor' as Beautiful You.
The guitar plays an important role in this song. It opens the song and then remains very subtle-ly in the background when the verses and choruses come in. But, it is never lost and gives that Spanish/Flamenco taste. The bass grooves the whole song extremely well, coupled with the funky drum-beats, it spells L.O.V.E.
Jae in the 1st verse..I don't think I've ever heard him sing such low registers. The vocal arranger should give him more of those ranges. It just makes him sound so sexy! XD Yunho's pipes are definitely getting better and better each time. It sounds whispery but strong in the high registers.*melts* It's suprising that he once use to be lost in the backgrounds of it all. I also notice that they do a lot of vibratos (vibrations) for this song. Junsu comes out very strong in his part in the 2nd chorus. LOVE that pull to the top note. *hearts*
I reckon that Min and Chun should have been given more prominent parts. Both of them has improved LOADS and should be given more main parts. JaeSu should be given a break. And, I mean this in a good way. But, Min's ad-libs in the last chorus...*smacks lips*...lush!
The harmonies at the end...it really tells us that, "Hey! We're still a chorus group! Our harmonies rock!"
A plus-point is that they are now pronouncing English without much problems [ie: BeautiFul and not BeautiPul]. If only their spoken english would be as accurate. XD
This has been on my repeat list for 30 times (and counting...) I just hope I can find time to transcribe this. I'm not even done with their T.R.I.C.K Singles yet.
Gomen.... >_____<
Edit:
I didn't really get the whole sombre-mood of the PV where they individually were sitting or standing or standing narcissist-ly in front of the mirror. XD I personally think that some direct, human, LADY / WOMAN interaction would have been a better storyline. I know Cassiopeias would just go beserk at any female to come in direct contact with our boys, but it would have really made more sense to the song. The boys sitting down and just singing their hearts out about a beautiful woman...it just didn't make any clear sense to me.
However, the dance sequences obviously suited the whole mood of the song better.
Edit 2:
To JaeChun a.k.a SoulMate
Jae, why do you always get nice boots, but the rest gets nice shoes?
Chun, having an unbuttoned shirt doesn't distract us from the hideous blond ends of your hair.
