For some reason I can't comment on this...that and I don't have enough room to say all that I want to say, but this video is pointless.
All the points that shows how 'unoriginal' SNSD are REALLY general. I mean, the clothes are very common ALL OVER THE WORLD, so are skinny jeans with puffy jackets and sun glasses, that look is popular EVERYWHERE. Then the whole thing with them being black in one part of the video and white in the other part, again, something that just looks good that is EVERYWHERE. Then the dance moves that are compared, well, first of all those people were in the same company, which might mean they might have the same choreographers or their choreographers have mingled to have similar dance moves, plus those moves are ALWAYS in dances. They're transition movies...Have you SEEN Hello!Project? Or at least Berryz Koubou or C-ute, their dances are ALWAYS the same because they always have the same choreographer, of course they look different, but they basically have the same moves.
Just because somebody does some of the same moves doesn't mean they've plagiarized, as long as it's in a different pattern, then it gets more original. It's like me drawing eyes the same way as a different person. Doesn't mean my work is going to look TOTALLY like that person and it's not plagiarizing.
Then the other clothes that they showed. Well, their clothes were INSPIRED by those, they're not trying to copy them.
And the Rihanna song and SNSD's Oh! song, sound NOTHING alike. I saw some other video where they were put together...I heard NO similarities (though it did sound good together...XD). And the other song at the end, also sound completely different, but again, this melody is used EVERYWHERE, but you can definitely see the difference between Korean feel good happy songs and American feel good happy songs, they sound completely different if you listen for similarities. There may be a few, but that American song is actually like every other feel goo happy song in America, so that song is probably copying an American song. But SNSD had nothing to do with it.
I don't think SNSD are unoriginal. But I don't like them anyways. Not because they show very small signs of plagiarism (which would not be their fault, it would be their company's fault), but because they seem so...so fake...Like they are just dolls doing whatever their company tells them. They all have the same body types, basically the same kind of features, the same kind of voices, but different personalities. I find that suspicious. I don't think they're free enough, they must look a certain way and they follow that certain way. But I think Super Junior is more free in their dance moves and such. They're not keeping a certain look in their dance moves, in fact they're pretty neutral unless they add in their own personalities, but SNSD's dances are just keeping to the same kind of mood. The kind that appeals to mostly men, but are sweet enough to appeal to girls, too.
And I think the members should be more free in what they do because they just seem like people trying to be perfect Kpop singers, but they really not. And then you have the people who don't like SNSD, like the person who made that video, that if they show and OUNCE of their personality or more creativity they're criticized, but isn't that what they wanted all along?
So I feel partially bad for SNSD...They should be more free like AAA! ^ ^ AAA is pretty free, I don't think there are any images going on, they all act the way they want. But Morning Musume is kinda similar to SNSD, except they all have different images, but they all have to keep with those images. Like how Yossy always wanted to be the cute girl, and she is really girly in real life (so the members say...I think I'd trust what the members say than the fans and company), but she has to be the tough tom-boy girl, instead of what she really wanted to be. And I think that's why Maki Goto left H!P, because of the imaging that they did. And so she could be free she signed with Avex.
A lot of groups are signing with Avex now, and I think that's because they're companies are too strict and Avex is more for expressing creativity, so they have a lot of different kinds of artists there who seem more professional just because they are more of their normal selves.
Okay, I'm done! XD
