"What a Girl Wants" by 4MINUTE

November 9, 2009

 

The war of Kpop girl bands is still on and getting edgier and heavier. Groups who was almost considered the weakest link months ago is now being praise for their glorifying make-over and improvement. After several controversies, banned songs, fans’ torts and harsh head-to-head comparison, it is true that 4MINUTE, 5-member girl band (Jihyun, Hyun-ah, Jiyoon, Gayoon and Sohyun) has improved! After For Muzik and Hot Issue, which both received harsh criticisms, their newest MV “What a Girl Wants” has imminently captured viewers in youtube. It still involve shoe-throwing stunts, strange clothes and dance steps, and of course the talk-about topic regarding Cool J’s (Jiyoon) undiminishable sunglasses into a sleek nerdy looking eyeglasses!!! Also, vocals improved and Jihyun’s starting to show a little presence and not just a simple back-up. 

Here are the pictures I’ve edited and captured from the previous MV’s For Muzik, Hot Issue and now What a Girl Wants. I also included pictures of members of 2NE1 and what could be the similarities of the members.
