Have you found yourself searching though the enormous list of Kpop songs in search of a song that has some strong female vocals and amazing diva-like adlibs to the point that the song seems like one major adlib? Well, then I think that Twinkle might be the song for you. I don't even remember how I came across the song. But I do know that it did end up leaving quite an impression.
For this song SMent threw together 3 of SNSD's most powerful vocals and gave them a song where they get the chance to show their inner diva. Personally it kinda reminded me of Lady Marmalade. I know that they aren't strutting around in corsets asking people to sleep with them, but if you look more deeply the similarities are definitely there. They are both about some powerful ladies who spend their days in the spotlights and are both paired with quite some crazy adlibs. They even have shots of both these groups of ladies preparing themselves for the evening in front of mirrors. One thing that Lady Marmalade does have that Twinkle is sadly lacking though is variation.
Through Lady Marmalade there are many changes in sound while with Twinkle the instrumental seems to be the same during nearly all of the song and the melody seems to be a simple copy paste job. If it weren't for the adlibs I wouldn't be able to tell them apart. In the end though I still enjoy listening and I find singing along quite a challenge so I'll definitely give the girls credit for pulling it off.
When it comes to the PV I'm not very positive. While the song itself still managed to seduce me into liking it, the PV didn't have as much luck. It was nicely made and all that, but in the end all that happens is them strutting their stuff while preparing themselves to perform on an abandoned roof. Compared to the standard I've come to see in Kpop video's, this seems somewhat lame. I can't deny though that they all look gorgeous.
Oh my god guys! A car with an illegal number plate! Who are these criminals? We must bust them!
Any second now...
Taeyeon: "Uhm, guys, can we just pretend that you didn't see that?"
Tiffany: "Let's smile and wave... smile and wave..."
Chanyeol: "Aw man, the guys are gonna kill me if I don't manage to get a decent shot of these girls..."
Seohyun: "You do realize that you're tall enough to just see us without trying right?"
Oh well, let's just wave and dazzle them with our smiles. Maybe they'll forget our crime that way.
Looks like someone is immune to these lady's Mozes powers.
Chanyeol: "Ah crap, I have a clear shot. If there aren't other photographers in the photo the others will think I just took the pictures of the internet."
Chanyeol: "I must quickly get a spot where my view will be blocked!"
Tiffany: "Oh Fifi, what should I do? There are so many light pink dresses to choose from!"
Seohyun: "You think you have a problems? These shoes are attacking me!"
Baekhyun: "I really don't get what these girls are on about, it's not that hard to look gorgeous."
Tiffany: "Hey guys, like what you see?"
Kai & Sehun: "What the hell is her problem?"
I have to say that they look gorgeous in these shots! I especially like Tiffany's look. Though Seohyun is also rocking it.
Seohyun: "I can't stand this endless repetition! Let me change it up a a bit."
Taeyeon: "That's okay, I'll add some of my amazing adlibs and everything wil be fine!"
Tiffany: "What are you guys on about? Repetition is awesome! Let's repeat the same melody a few times more!"
The ladies look amazing in these clothes and they know it!
Chanyeol: "So here I am... waiting on the streets for some girls that work in the same company as I do. Just because of some stupid bet."
Fifi: "Hey guys! Anyone wanna take me for a walk?"
Chanyeol: "Aw man... I thought I finally had a chance to take that picture. They're gonna give me a hard time when I get home..."
So yeah, as you might have noticed I quite enjoyed taking these screenshots. Hehe, those beautiful comeo's are amazing. All in all it is a nice song and a nice PV, but I think they could have added something extra to make the whole twinkle.
