[Review] Wonder Girls - Like This

Vocals: 9/10
- The variation in vocals of the Wonder Girls has always impressed me. "Be My Baby" had Sohee and Hye Lim with verses and Sunye and Ye Eun on chorus, and now it's Hye Lim and Sunye with verses and Sohee and Ye Eun on the bridge (since the chorus is everyone). I would like to see some Yubin lines in the future, because I'm assuming she's had some vocal training. Other than that, a solid performance by everyone.

Appearance: 7/10
- Sohee and Yubin are looking per usual, which is to say, very good. Hye Lim's hairstyle is new and looks much better without bangs, and the mix of colours are unique. Sunye and Yenny... Sunye, we know you can pull the rather bizarre styles but this is a little much, especially with the crimson red. Ye Eun though, please go back to long hair, you look so much prettier and elegant.

Dance: 8/10
- This dance is cute, quirky, and sometimes random, which is quite fitting for something flashmob themed. The leg shaking / shuffling I find especially hilarious, reminding me of something like a duck walk. Not much more needs to be said, I loved all the backup dancers. All the participants did a great job, too.

Rap: 8 / 10
- Yubin's voice is perfect for rap, low and hot. This rap in particular doesn't quite showcase the talent as it's both slower and more repetitive than previous raps, but given the rest of the song, it's a positive addition to the song (and subsequently doesn't make Yubin left out). I'd be interested in how the English version would sound.

Music Video: 10/10
- Flashmob themed song has a flashmob themed music video, who would have thought? I love the use of the hundreds and hundreds of participants as backup dancers / flashmob members, especially with the variation in characters: young children to the elderly. Shots where the Wonder Girl members are actually dancing right there along with people were a very smooth touch. All in all, one of the best complimentary music videos I have seen in some time.

Overall: 42/50
- "Like This" may not have too high of a overall score, but it's still ridiculously catchy in both the lyrics and dance, and the music video is very fun to watch. I know I'll be humming and singing "Like This" for some time. :3

That's because outside of La Cha Ta (kinda), all of Amber's raps have been lackluster. Amber's one of the few versatile rappers in Korea (CL, Key, Junsu, being others) but has hardly ever had songs to showcase.

I'll add Jay Park and Epik High(!) to the list.

Then there's Dok2 and Flowsik from Aziatix.

Anyway, after hearing the whole song, I feel this is definitely what I've been looking for in f(x). Pinocchio didn't really hit it with me.

Without the Amber rap though, I feel like we're missing something.

And lol at the "laser" or something that Krystal says.
