Sherlock's music video is out! Finally. Overall, I like it a lot. Not so much as the Lucifer video but it's very good. SHINee's vocals have improved even further along with the dance skills. The dance was choreographed by Tony Testa, who earned his reputation as one of the world's top choreographers by making the choreography for Michael Jackson's "This Is It" and for other pop stars such as Kylie Minogue and Janet Jackson. It looks really difficult to perform..
SHINee somehow incorporated two completely different themes into the music video and pulled it off. The colourful 80s theme of the teaser images and the sophisticated, detective theme of the music video. They did the acting part of the video in their grey suits, top hats and white gloves, while the dancing was done in acid-wash jeans, striped shirts and bright bracelets. They were trying to be serious and sexy but their dance outfits disagreed and made them appear rather childish~
There are many things I liked about the music video. First and foremost was the song, which is currently my favorite. The energetic dance was good, although Lucifer still remains at the top. The set was really believable, to the point that I read numerous comments about it being filmed in an actual museum. The award for best haircut went to Taemin's shorter style. Best vocalist was Jonghyun (as usual), Key being a close runner up. Taemin really matured, from a soft-spoken kid who couldn't sing much into a dance machine whose vocals I sometimes confuse for Jonghyun's. Surprisingly, Tae didn't end up looking like a girl, despite his long hair - don't believe me? Go see for yourself! -link below-
And of course there were things I didn't like. The dance outfits made me laugh, especially Taemin's getup and Key's star shorts. Three decisions S.M. made that baffled me: Taemin keeping his long hair, Key wearing black nail polish, and Jonghyun having raccoon eyes. Considering the latter two are my biases, I really wanted to bitch-slap their stylists. How dare they humiliate them like that?
Also I don't understand why on earth S.M. gave EXO 26 teasers, while SHINee got 39 seconds of a teaser. But that's okay, 1.2 million views and counting in less than 15 hours is how we do it. Hell yeah.
You bored by now? Alright, I've said everything I wanted to. Oh wait, one more thing.. SHINee's back!~
