Music video: Super Junior - Sorry sorry

I've never really followed the music of Korean boy band Super Junior. Any Asian boy band with more than 5 members (well...any boy band for that matter!), I just don't trust or have time for. But out of the blue Super Junior slapped me in the face with "Sorry sorry" and I bloody love the song! The beat on "Sorry, sorry" is fire - even if it does work a sound that has continued to be ran into the ground for the past 2 to 3 years. And as for that auto-tune...Jesus Christ. Korean's be on the auto-tune more than the US! So many pop and R&B records to come out of Korea have used it.

When I first heard the song I thought the guys were singing "Sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, n***a, n***a, n***a, munch it!" on the chorus. But obviously they aren't. I would've been controversial and sung those lyrics though. Because I'm sick like that.

You'd think with 13 members the vocal work would've been better. Some tight harmonies and vocal arrangements wouldn't have gone amiss. But rarely are Asian boy bands about the singing. The music comes secondary to the image, the hair flicking and in Super Junior's case: the 'do they, don't they take it there with boy on boy action'.

The video has a hot, if tried and tested look to it - but the dancing is plain rubbish. With such a hot song and 13 young guys, it's a shame the end result was some bullshit that looked like a nursery school jump rope routine. What makes it even worse is that the dude who choreographed the video has worked with Usher and Justin Timberlake. I guess with Super Junior he didn't have much to work with in the way of dancing ability, because there are times the guys don't even look like they're dancing in time with the music.
