BoA looks correct. THIS is the image that BoA's people should've been pushing from the start. Vamped up, without being overly suggestive and ho'd out. And I gotta give it to the girl: she was dancing her arse off. A hot routine which showed she can move. It's been a while since we've seen BoA really dance. And "No!" That Riverdance bullshit she was pulling in the version B "Eat you up" music video does not count. I was liking the little homages to Michael and Janet. With the whole oft-used "Miss you much" chair dealio and "Smooth criminal" leaning.
The video itself was boring though, due to the lack of costume changes and setups. The whole thing reminded me of Britney's "Stronger" music video (which was directed by the same man who directed "I did it for love" - Joseph Khan), only with greater emphasis on the dancing. It eludes me what took to long to release the full length video when the minute and half teaser has been doing the rounds for over 2 months. All that was added was water.
As hot as BoA is in the music video, the song is still garbage. It sounds rough and un-mastered. I can't believe nobody stepped in and told Sean Garrett to fix up the song. Or better still, told him the song was rubbish and gone with another single instead. No beat switches, no melody changes, chord changes - nothing. The song just flatlines for 3 minutes. "Eat you up" was better. I know nobody is going to side with me on this one, but I'm gonna be a soldier and stand firm in my preference to "Eat you up" over "I did it for love". Sean Garrett was unecessary in the song and the video too. Dude's voice is annoying, and he looks like a block head gorilla with a BK double whopper burger for lips.
It would've been cool if BoA did this song with Se7en. The 2 of them would look hot together and the dancing would've been insane.
