Psy's Gentleman has been out since Saturday (I think), and I feel like I should join the bandwagon and judge on him... So here we go!
Honestly, the overall feeling I got from this new video was "disappointment". Probably because I felt that Gangnam Style set the bar really high. It was random, catchy, and had good dance moves. Now, it's the most-viewed video on Youtube. So, I feel like Psy must have been under lots of pressure while writing another song that everyone would like.
The song itself is extremely similar to Gangnam Style and even has some references to the music video (like that comedian in the yellow suit in the elevator and all the humping). But, that's not Psy's fault. I bet that all if not most of his songs are very similar to each other. It's his style, just as every other artist, author, writer, poet, etc. have their own style.
However, this doesn't mean that Gentleman was necessarily a "bad song" It's techno, and pop. You can't say that it isn't catchy either. I guess...."okay" would be the word to describe it.
Well, that's my look on his new video.
It's been a while since Spring break, but there was something that I forgot to share with you guys.
(Actually, two things...I mean, people.)
Kalei Gamiao is an amazing musciain. Here's his cover of One Republic's Apologize on the ukelele!!!! XD
Second, Bryson Andres. (And apparently he's been on America's Got Talent as I have just learned)
I love how that guy across the street just starts dancing! XD
So what happened was that I was listening to some original music from some Youtube artists, when I saw an Apologize cover on the side. That was Kalei. At first I expected him to sing, but then after a few seconds, I realized that he wasn't (It was when he started making different beats and melodies using that one machine that I forgot was called :P)
Then, I saw the video for Bryson on the side. I watched through it, and he is just amazing. (By the way, part of Katy Perry's Firework is in it) He also uses that machine-thingy that Kalei used. And, he uses an electric violin, which I have always found pretty cool.
My interest in electric violins and machine-thingies (I guess that's what I'll call it for now) probably started with this video: Jason Yang + Awesome Beatboxer Jake Moulton's "Devil's Canon"
I watched this a few years back after my brother showed it to me. At that time, he also showed me another video that I liked (and will now share):
Unfortunately, I didn't watch her other videos.
Now though, I'm more familiar with her because I see her videos a lot because of ISAtv and Youtube in general.
So, to sum it up this is what happened (hope it turns out right):
Spring Break: 2 Years Ago Now

That's all I have for today, guys!
Bye! :D
