This week's Music Monday is the Captive Edition with GoNa's "Black and White"
Umm, I don't think it's Gona. I think it's Gina.
No, it's Gona.
Why would you even think that?
Becaues F.Cuz is pronounced Focus.
So wouldn't G.Na be pronounced Gona?
Ohh. I do see your point…but, I'm pretty sure it's Gina
No, it's Gona.

FINALLY! This whole freaking year we've had nothing but a sausage fest
on Music Mondays and I'm glad that finally reviewing a girl.
Hey Simon: you know what's coming out next week?
No.
Big Bang!
NOOOoooOOOOooooOOOOoOoOOOOOooOoOoOOO!
So this song is a big change from the releases in 2011 so far
It's really cute, it's really fluffy.
I can see this being used in some Korean romantic comedies.
So the concept behind "Black in White" is how, you know, couples have differences.
Yeah, I totally get that. You know, Simon and I have differences, too.
One of us likes Ranch, one of us really hates it.
One of us loves hot coffee one of us loves iced coffee.
One of us loves Twilight, one of us prefers serious literature.
EDWARD Can't you see that you're killing her!!!! YOU'RE KILLING BELLA, EDWARD!!!
OMG SIMON YOU'VE ALREADY SEEN THIS 3 TIMES!!!! YOU KNOW WHAT'S GONNA HAPPEN!
THEY'RE GONNA END UP TOGETHER! GOSH!
You don't understand their love!!!
That was not accurate. I did not cry.
Anyways…G.Na's video doesn't really seem to match the lyrics or the fluffy feel of the song.
It seems to be less about a couple having their differences,
and more about a selfish, attention begging spoiled princess of a girlfriend who constantly harasses her boyfriend.
Seriously! There's something wrong with this girl!
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not talking about G.NA, I'm talking about the character she's playing in this video.
It's like her evil twin sister. Let's call her AN.G.
[evil music]
Ok, so the video begins with a couple, and they enter the apartment arguing viciously over something
and AN.G storms out onto the balcony, leaving her heartbroken boyfriend behind,
but then, with her back turned, she lets out the most evil looking smile,
*MUUWAAAAHHHAHAHAH*
Then, after months in captivity, unable to write songs, or read magazines, or watch the TV
he finally gets the chance to free himself from the shackles of his captor…
will he make it?
Gotta do this quickly when she's not looking.
Ok, officer, hi! I've been held captive here for like six years,
I don't know, I've lost track of time, I've got a crazy lady who's keeping me captive,
Oh my god she's awake! Ha! It's ok, I'm just talking to a friend, it's ok!
Ok officer, please come quickly, the address is hello? Hello?!
[scary music!]
He..haa ha oh you! that's so, that's so sweet!
[more evil music]
Heheehee, you do those things, ha ha ha ha
[evil strangulation music]
NO! She ruthlessly rips out the phone cord from the wall, and taunts him with it,
swings it in front of his face, while he cries behind his forced smiles,
Crawl on your knees, you little puppet. Smile for your puppet master, you spineless doormat you!
BUAHAHAHA! I'm scared!
*cough* Well…on a different note…
My favourite part of the video is when G.Na walks outside in a snowstorm
IN HER SHORT SHORTS! That happens a lot in Korea. Man…I love you sometimes Korea!
You're the best! [hey!] I mean!
[music]
So the dance of the song is quite simple if you know how to ski.
Let me show you.
Ok, so I've got my ski poles, and I've got my skis.
And I'm gonna go skiing, but I gotta pick up speed first.
Ok, so I'm skiing, right, this is me skiing,
but guess what? You just pulled out your upper back,
and you're like "OH MY GOD IT'S IN PAIN!"
So that's the Gina dance, ok,
but you've gotta change directions cuz you're still skiing, so you're like
"OH! OH MY BACK! OH MY GOD MY" and you've gotta go straight down the hill to the hospital.
Ready! Oh my God the pain! See? It's just like skiing and pulling your back.
You're a really bad skier.
I don't ski I snowboard!
[music]
As for the English of the song, we give it a 5 out of 5
Now, there really aren't any sentences in English in the song,
just a bunch words and a couple of phrases, but it's still perfectly well done.
Actually, I'm pretty sure that G.NA is from Canada and a fluent English speaker,
So I hope this trend of of 5 out of 5 English continues with her songs.
[music]
Last week we asked you something that doesn't really matter,
that put someone against, it doesn’t really matter, because it was GD&TOP
and GD&TOP bla bla bla and GD&TOP won. Yay GD&TOP!
I'm pretty sure that no matter what we put them against they're always gonna win,
because they're gonna win the award for everything for the rest of their lives.
What if it's the Stupid award?
MEMEMEMEME SHUT UP!
For this week's Captive edition, we ask you where would you rather be held captive
In G.NA's dungeon in "Black and White," or T-ara's island in "Yayaya"
Leave your votes in the comments and we'll announce the winners next week.
Also, thanks to everyone who requested G.NA this week,
if there's a video you want to see for Kpop Music Mondays
head over to http://www.eatyourkimchi.com/requests
and tell us who we should do a video for.
And please don't vote for Big Bang! [Big Bang!]
Don't vote for Big Bang! [Big Bang!]
We've done so many Big Bang songs! [Big Bang's coming out!]
Ohh!
