VIXX - Girls, Why? (MV Review)

Cute. And Just Plain Fun.

        I LOVE the camera tricks that result from the bifurcated set. The two utterly independent halves of the room were really well utilized for both the cuteness of separation and the hilarity of tricking the audience. The bright colors are all fun and the morph-suits are fabulous. I like how the invisible people are nearly as much a part of the MVs events as the visible ones are. You could go into a philosophical argument about how it means that the people in the background of a relationship, the flower shop guy or the waiter at a restaurant, have a huge impact on the success of building a relationship, but are almost never noticed or remembered for it . . . but honestly I don't think they're really meant to mean anything so deep. They're just meant to be fun and interesting, which they very much are.
        The styling is simple and clean and everyone looks fabulous. I wouldn't say I'd buy any of the fashion for myself or hypothetical boyfriend, but everyone in the video pulls their looks off perfectly.
        Song-wise, it's super cute. Honestly, the melodic range and that opening synth makes me think of Christmas songs, which I know this is not (seeing as it's not even Halloween yet . . .), but still it makes for a good "it's getting colder" sort of general Winter is Coming track. I like it. The parts are balanced, the voices all work beautifully together, the higher register makes the whole track light and airy while the beat grounds it and pushes it forward. The girls of OKDAL are adorable and their strong and very femme voices mesh well with VIXX, so all in all I really like this one, even though nothing really happens at all in it.

I give it a 7/10: Me Gusta.
