[MV Review] BLACKPINK - Boombayah

Welp, I was wrong
Okay, I was mostly right. This is 2NE1 2.0, complete with the early-era sound and the nonsense chorus. Basically, this is Fire/I Am The Best, but without the incredible hook. Also, Jisoo is definitely the Dara of this group: completely lacking in charisma or talent, but gosh is she ever pretty!

Aw, she even kinda looks like Dara. So cute, yet so useless.

But oh my god was I ever wrong about Lisa. I don't like her face, I love it. This girl oozes stage presence like nobody's business. She's the CL and the Minzy of this group rolled into one. I mean, Jennie is the CL, because she was overhyped and failed to deliver. Really your analysis here depends on how much you like CL, I guess.

Lisa approves

Rose is cute, I guess! She's trying really hard.

Do less, Rose

As for the song itself, if you're into thudding electro-club nonsense, you'll like it well enough. I very much enjoyed the vaguely Jimin's Puss-adjacent beat. That was a good beat.

BUT, if I could have my dreams and wishes, I would like them to not shriek "Oppa!" at random moments throughout the chorus. Rose and Jisoo's pre-chorus vocal tone is very ... groany. I would like that to stop, also. And the whole thing could be about 20 seconds shorter. Overall, though, I enjoyed the song. They are all really pretty, so props to them for that!

So pretty! Nice work, YG!

This is much, much better than I expected from this group. I welcome our new kpop overlords. Now let's see if they can compete with Twice, lol. I give this a 4/5. Now go argue with me about my unfair biases in the comments, I know you wanna.
