Junsu versus TVXQ. That's right. It's essentially Junsu versus himself...and four other guys. The music videos being compared this time are two very different animals. Tarantallegra is, let's face it, seductive in its beat, costuming, and dance, while Purple Line is a cheese fest with terrible English, funny dancing, transforming stereo buildings, and Yunho's cartoon voice. If they were dresses, Tarantallegra would be a sleek sexy gown and Purple Line would be a fun funky rocker chick ensemble complete with crinolin (sic) skirted dress and leather bollero.
I guess I should clarify that I am talking about the first half of Tarantallegra though, because really 80% of the good parts are before the 2 minute mark, and there is quite a lot of smut in it which is more noticeable after the 2 minute mark. Now that I have realized that the reason for watching and liking Tarantallegra is in the beginning (I hadn't noticed so much before), the win has to go to TVXQ because Purple Line has consistent quality. It's all cheesy bad which is so good. Better cinematography (sic) and costuming don't matter when a music video lets you down halfway through so TVXQ's Purple Line advances to the next round.
Some comments.
Micky's English is bad from the very start.
"Now, I see this way. It's looks like, Purple Line. Gotta introduce myself. Eh. Eh. Eh. Eh." and then, "Really wanna touch myself."
....
That's, "Really want to get in touch with myself," Micky.
This is followed by the chorus which sounds like, maybe, "Purple Line. Resetting my world.", and "This way!". Later we get, "Gotta pop it like that. My time is still goin' on." While actually this is very good English for SM Entertainment, I am not sure it is the only English. After JYJ's Ayy Girl I can't be positive of what language they are singing in, since I originally thought that Ayy Girl was in Korean...and it's an English song. Therefore maybe there is more English.
If you know of any other English in the song, maybe let me know. I'll be glad to decifer it.
Other than the bad English, the best parts of this song are Yunho and Max. Max, my favourite TVXQ member, dances either goofily or angrily and Yunho, super manly Yunho, does some really feminine stuff while using his cartoon voice. It's really enjoyable. TVXQ does a good job of being entertaining, even as the world turns into giant stereos. They have a solid, and consistent, music video with Purple Line.
